No. 11 WARNING TO AGAINST LELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It becomes my duty as one of the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to draw to your attention the conditions that affect us as a people. It is for me to inform you that from my observation it is apparent that we are approaching another crisis in the history of our race. SAFEGUARD OURSELVES! The economic world is gradually returning to normal. War abnormalities have all disappeared, or are fast disappearing. The industrial slump that wrecked so many million Negro homes immediately following the cessation of war is also clearing away, and today Negro men who could not find employment up to twelve months ago and were rendered destitute and hungry are now employed in profitable occupations. The major portion of our race has gone back to work. But what is happening? We find that the same recklessness and indifference in preparing for the future as we exhibited in the past are now being followed by the millions of our people who have gone back to work. Apparently we have all forgotten the hard and dreary days of unemployment, the days when we walked from place to place, receiving no encouragement and no help, to fall back upon despondency as our only hope. Some people who were so despondent and broken-hearted are today forgetful of everything but that they are earning enough to indulge in the customary light-hearted sports and spendthrift manner, without taking a thought of the morrow. INDUSTRIAL MAKESHIFTS The warning I want to give is that these days of light-heartedness and happiness will again disappear if we make no effort to safeguard ourselves against the threatened future. Our economic prosperity today, limited as it is, is based upon the foundation laid by an alien face that is not disposed to go out of its way to prepare for the economic existence of anyone but itself; therefore, our present prosperity, as far as employment goes, is purely accidental. It is as accidental as it was prior to the war of 1914, when colored men were employed in different occupations, not because they were wanted but because they were filling the places of other men who were not at the very moment available. We are still filling places, and as time goes on and the age grows older our occupations will be gone "THE FOOTBALL CLASSIC OF THE YEAR WASHINGTON, D. C., THANKS ADMISSION: Box Seats, $2.00 each; Grand Stand by Post Office Money Order A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 THE NEGRO STATUS IN THE ECONOMIC REGULATIONS OF THE RACES MORE SUPPORT FOR NEGRO ENTERPRISES REQUESTED POOR LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE RACE from us because those for whom we filled the places will soon appear, and as they do we shall gradually then find our places among the millions of permanent unemployed. OUR LEADERS The thing for the Negro to do is to adjust his own economic present as well as future. A race that is solely dependent on another for its economic existence sooner or later is bound to die, and as we have in the past been living upon the mercies shown us by others and by the chances obtainable, and have suffered therefrom, so will we suffer in the future if an effort is not made now to adjust our own affairs. It is sad to see that we have such limited leadership, which makes it impossible for us to be properly advised and guided in what we should do as a people. We have but very few who are interested in us to the extent of pointing us the way to our political, economic and social salvation. Our leaders are no better than the majority; they are selfish, crafty, narrow-minded and visionless; hence, they render themselves incapable of directing us in the way we ought to go; nevertheless, we shall not by our own neglect allow ourselves to perish, for perish surely we will if we continue in the riotous, thriftless and thoughtless conduct of the present. To depend upon other races to carve out a future for us is like depending upon a broken stick. Through the great change that has come over humanity and the whole world, every race perforce is looking out for itself. It is purely a question of the survival of the fittest race, and for Negroes to expect other people to be concerned about their future is like expecting the devil to be concerned about the happiness of the good spirits that ought to exist in the realms above. We will drag along as a part of the economic regulations of today, until, according to the arrangements of those who have created the AR"—LINCOLN UNIVERSITY VS.

THE NEGRO'S DILEMMA Nobody thinks of the Negro; he is, as I have said, but an accident in the political, social and economic laws of alien creation. We have no fixed place in the economic life of others except that of serfdom and peonage. Rising in spirit as we are, we feel dissatisfied with such conditions. We want greater opportunities. But how can we get them except we create them for ourselves, and these are the times for us to make the effort to so create the things that we want. While we are earning money by our labor in these days of readjustment, why not be thrifty enough to save a part of it for the dark days ahead? Why not be considerate enough to practice the co-operative spirit by which we will help each other to foster those industrial enterprises that would help to make us industrially and economically independent? We find that very little encouragement, if any, is being given to Negro institutions and enterprises that are seeking to hold their own in the competitive field against those of other races who are seeking the support of our race. We still find Negroes giving more patronage and support to the enterprises of other people than they do to their own. This will lead us, if we are not careful, back to the old conditions. The Universal Negro Improvement Association today offers the opportunity for every Negro to co-operate with his brother to put over the biggest program ever undertaken by the race. We are seeking to unite the four hundred million members of our race the world over for one grand industrial, commercial, social, educational and political improvement and emancipation. If we can get all the members of the race to see the reasonableness of this program, then surely in a short while, even though others plan for our defeat and ruin, we, by our co-operative forces, will be able to lift ourselves to the highest plane of usefulness politically, economically and socially. "LEST WE FORGET!" Fellow men, I ask that you forget not the trials and troubles of the past. Buoy yourselves with the spirit of determination to co-operate in this mighty movement of ours and let us so adjust things as to make our race one of the independent racial forces of the day. You can support the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association morally and financially. Morally, you can inspire others to join the movement; financially, you can send your support, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, to the headquarters, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U.S.A. Feeling assured of your co-operation, with very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GAPVEY. President General Universal: Negro Improvement Association New York. UNIVERSITY, AMERICAN LEAGUE PARTY D O'CLOCK, NOVEMBER 20, 1863 THE ORGANIZATION OF NEGROES NO LONGER AN IMPOSIBILITY LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday night, Oct. 22, 1922 - Although it is true that the presence at Liberty Hall of the stalwart leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a source of inspiration to the large membership of the New York Local, verghettiveness in his absence was the close tonight, there is no evident lack of enthusiasm, which gives proof of the fact that the followers of the association are obsessed not so much with the leadership but with the principles for which the association stands and that therefore they are determined, despite what the leadership may be, to support and carry on the great work until the goal of African redemption and a free and emancipated race has been achieved. The meeting tonight was conducted by the Fourth Assistant President-General, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, who was ably assisted by several members of the Executive Council who took their usual places on the plank form. After the usual opening preliminaries a splendid musical program was rendered by the band and the U N I A chorus after which the speech making followed. The first speaker was Hon M A Haynes, who spoke on the subject A Mighty Movement The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said, was so mighty that it has caused the governments of the world to halt and take notice, was so mighty, so big and so large that even those who a few years ago looked upon the organization of Negroes into one solid body as an impossibility were now compelled to acknowledge that the Negro everywhere has come to his senses and is clamouring for the same rights and privileges that are accorded to other men. He admonished his hearers to light on in the battle for African redemption and Negro emancipation, take on new courage and fight until the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green are planted upon the great continent of Africa. Hon J. Built spoke briefly on the subject, "Struggling toward Our National Glory. His remarks were very timely and were well received. He was followed by Hon J. C. Carter, who spoke on The Three Cs of Life. These he said, were Christ, Character and Cash. These three qualities, the speaker said, were essential if the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to be put over in order that life must be expressed in its best form it was necessary that we cause in the mad rush of life and find the Bible of our being, and after having found the Christ we will evolve a character that can be trusted and when we can march forth with cash in our pocket and at our command to do the things worth while in this life, then will trust us and God will respect us. The last speaker was Hon F A. Woods, International Organizer, who delivered a spirited address that worked the audience up to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He declared that the two men who are attracting the attention of the world more than any other men today are Lloyd George and Marcus Garvey. The difference, however, was that, though Lloyd George may fall and the British Empire might potter, even though Marcus Garvey may be removed the Universal Negro Improvement Association will still go on until Africa is redeemed for the 100,000,000 Negroes of the world. Following are the speeches. Following are the speeches HON. B. A. HAYNES SPEAKS The first speaker was Hon. S. A. Haynes, who took for his subject "A Mighty Movement," and said: As I look on this great sea of faces my mind goes back to the days of ancient Rome when thousands upon thousands of human beings flocked to the amphitheatres to witness the struggle between man and beast. But unlike the Romans of old we are gathered here this evening for a greater cause—a greater purpose. We are gathered here this evening in Liberty Hall, as we are accustomed to do in order that we may once again discuss the program for a free and redeemed Africa. The Universal Improvement BIG SALE WOOL Embroidered SERGE DRESSES $388 Send No Money Association is a mighty movement. It is a movement that is filled with possibilities. It is a movement that has drawn together in the course of a few years more than 60,000,000 people. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a movement so mighty that it has caused the governments of the world to halt and take notice. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is so mighty is so big is so large that even those who a few years ago looked upon the organization of Negroes into one solid body as an impossibility are compelled to acknowledge that the Negro everywhere has come to his senses and is clamoring for the same rights and the same privileges that are accorded to other men. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the Negro Gibraltar not the Gibraltar that greets the mighty Inkers as they enter the great Mediterranean sea but is the human Gibraltar known as the soul When the soul leaves the human bod) the life of the individual passes out of existence As it is with the soul so it is with the Universal Negro Improvement Association Take this mighty movement out of the life of the Negro today and we too pass out of existence Founded by God The Universal Negro Improvement Association is impregnable for it is not founded by man but by God. Men have changed the aspect of things material but men will never be able to halt the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because this struggle towards African redemption is sanctified with the blessing of Him who died that others may live. Let me say to you as I go away from New York City carrying your greetings to the thousands in the sunny south that if there was ever a time in the life of this movement when you should do your heat to bring about the realization of a great African Empire that time is now. If there was ever a time when you Young men and women should arise and buckle on your armor for African redemption, that time is now. Fight On The Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling upon the Negroes of the United States of America, upon the Negroes in the West Indies and Central and South America, calling upon the Negroes on the great continent of Europe and Asia to fight on in the battle for Negro emancipation The Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling upon the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to fight on and not be weary, take on new courage and fight on until the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green are planted upon the great continent of Africa. (Applause.) Hon. Mr. Swift Speaks The next speaker was Hon. Mr Swift, who spoke briefly on the subject of *Skidgling Towards Our National Glory*. He drew a vivid mental picture of the Negro in the early days of slavery in the Western Hemisphere struggling beneath the heels of oppression of the white race yet believing in the protection of white people and white government, but, said he, since the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Negroes everywhere have realized that if they must be free, if they must enjoy the fruits of democracy, if they must bask in the sunshine of eternal freedom they must themselves strike the blow and tear down the bars of slavery, break down the barriers of oppression and walk triumphantly into national glory. It is through the Universal Negro Improvement Association inspiring the Negroes of the world with a new belief and now desires that we hope to bring about the solution of our problem. The man who desires to be wealthy will acquire wealth; the man who believes that he can remove mountains will do, and it is for that reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association says to black men and women scattered over the entire world that the time has come when we must believe in ourselves and determine that we must once and for all free ourselves from the domination of alien races and nanda. (Applause.) The Three C's of Life Hon. G. E. Carter spoke briefly on "The Three Cs of Life." It is absolutely necessary, he said, in the furtherance of life or in the furtherance of a program of any proportion that men and women take cognizance of three great Cs. A life in order that it might be resplendent with glory—that it might be a success in every sense of the word—that it might be a life that can be emulated, surely must have in it as its first great C—Christ. A life without Christ does not amount to anything that is worth the snap of a finger. And when I speak of the Christ I am speaking of that ideal, that one principle, that one first cause, that one moving force that is calculated to make a man or woman find himself or herself, and until an individual has found himself he cannot be of any importance to himself or the world. You have got to discover yourselves, and a man can only discover himself by discovering the Christ of his being, and by that is meant finding your best self—the self that can be depended upon; that portion of your being that will enable you to realize that you are one great unit and not individuals struggling to separate the forces and bear down by backfishing and saying mean things about each other. If the program is to be put over you must have the Christ in your being; you must not see yourselves alone but you have to get to the good in every man, and every man has some good in him. The greatest trouble with humanity is that we have not discovered our Christ that we have not seen it in this THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 The Universal Negro Improvement Association Has Succeeded in Organizing 5,000,000 Negroes—Is Indispensable to the Life of the Negro—Men Cannot Halt Its Progress—Is Founded of God and Will Live on Forever LARGE ATTENDANCE AT LIBERTY HALL IN ABSENCE OF HON.

The second great of which is neces- sary is character. Character is that which will leave its impress upon the world. Reputation is what people say about you but character is just what you are. Unless a man has got some character he never will be anything. There are some men and women who boar a most enviable reputation but whose character is as black as midnight. Character can be relied upon, character is that which speaks for men and women in the world so that the world can look at them and under- stand and know their acts. Character will stand the test of the ages when this old world shall loiter and when this old world shall pass away. Char- acter shall remain for character is of God.

McGugin, attorney for Theodore SCHLERMAN, mayor of the village of Liberty, near here, saying that Mayor Schlerman had been called out of his office late Saturday night, taken into the country by fifteen men in three motor cars, and lashed with blacksnake whips. Schlerman has been mayor of Liberty eighteen months and has lived there forty years. The statement said Mayor Schlerman would sue his town for $100 000 under the Kansas mob law. "The three cars drove out in the country about four miles," said the statement. "The men tied his hands to a post, tore his upper clothing off and laid about thirty stripes on his bare back. "They told him. 'We are unknown to you. You have never seen us. Your neighbors have had us do this to you. You are one of those fellows that have denounced the Klan'" "After about twenty stripes had been given him, he said, 'Mon, if this is 100 per cent American, I don't like it.' One of the men said, 'You don't chf and they gave him ten more stripes, saying, 'Maybe you will like it better.'" "In the whipping two men did it, one on each side, alternating. They took him back two miles and turned him out, saying, 'Now keep your mouth shut, if you don't, we will have this to do again, and the next time we will use tar and feathers.'" Kansas Making Vigorous Inquiry into Lashing of Mayor TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 16—Governor Allen said today of the whipping of Mayor Schleriman of Liberty. The responsibility rests on the shoulders of those who employ the disguise and preach the right of mobs to take the law into their own hands. State Attorney General Hopkins is making a vigorous investigation. THE WORLD WAR AND CIVILIZATION The recent World War has given a new aspect to civilization. It has created—or, rather, encouraged—a pressing desire for freedom on the part of subject peoples. It has remade Europe, giving many races self-determination. The war has made sacrifice no great thing for them. Many of them died to save their masters and overlords and they feel that they can also die to save their posterity. With that fact in view they will spare no pains to grasp freedom. England has given Ireland partial freedom with the newly formed Irish Free State, and Egypt has become an independent kingdom, with but few restrictions, Asia and Africa are propagating for their share of freedom's pie. Out of this spirit of unrest must surely—yes, positively—come a rejuvenation of civilization. It almost destroyed itself in the late war, and no well-thinking man would believe that it can exist in its present form, with half the world free and the remainder oppressed. HERMAN A. MCKENNIEK.

The focus of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to be put into we have got to have men and women who have a thrift and character and some cash. Cash has enabled the United States Government to be recognized as a mighty power simply because of the monetary forces that are at work here. Cash is a good thing for men and women to possess if it is rightly used and cash may be directed into channels that may prove the undoing of men and women, but if cash is rightly handled it is a power in this world that cannot be left out. It is essential in the development of any program or in the furtherance of any life. In conclusion the speaker said, I am anxious that you should express life in its best form and if you would express life in its best form surely you must pause in the mad rush of life and find the Christ of your being, and after you have found the Christ you will evolve character that can be trusted and when you can march forth with cash in your pocket and cash at your PRICES TO STAY U EXPERTS SAY; NO EXF BOSTON Oct 20 - The Harvard Committee on Economic Research has no expectation of a drop in prices to the pre-war level during the next ten years. Professor Charles J Bullock chairman of the committee, said in an address at the Harvard Club tonight at the first session of a national conference of subscribers to the Harvard Economic Service. The committee, he added, could not accept the conclusion that prices must return to a pre-war normal, because prices had reverted to their former levels after previous periods of currency inflation in the early and middle parts of the nineteenth century "The committee cannot find," he said, "that the governing conditions exist today which brought about lower price levels in the past. The gold situation must first be considered. Upon all the evidence we have concluded that monetary stocks of gold will continue to increase at the rate of approximately $150 000 000 per annum during the next eight years, and this means a larger annual increment than the world has ever had, except during the few years prior to 1915. "Before the war commodity prices were increasing at a very substantial rate with an annual gold increment of $232 000 000 and there was a general complaint of the increasing cost of living. In view of this fact it would seem that an annual increment of $150 000 000 should be ample to prevent a decline of gold prices during the present decade." If the general trend of commodity prices should decline during the decade, he said, the result would be due to the financial policies pursued by the leading commercial countries and not to a shortage of gold. "These policies, of course, are wholly subject to human volition." Professor Bullock said, "although they are not within the control of any single country, unless it be one that occupies a position of commanding influence.

Negro Improvement Association and not only are those eyes focused upon us but they are focused especially upon the great leader of this movement. Garvey and Lloyd George Carvey and Lloyd George The two men today that are attracting the attention of the world more than any other men are Lloyd George and Marcus Garvey. Why? Because these two men stand for a great principle. Lloyd George stands for the principle of the empire of Great Britain to hold her integrity at all costs. Lloyd George values the sentiment of the white man that Africa must be for the white man and that England must dominate any field that she feels like dominating that England must take anything she wants and ask nobody for what she takes. Marcus Garvey is preaching another doctrine—the doctrine of universal freedom for Negroes and in that uni- IP, HARVARD PRE-WAR LEVEL EXPECTED IN DECADE haps, as the leading creditor nation, the United States might exert such an influence on financial policy, especially if it should oppose measures calculated to depress prices and so to increase the burden of indebtedness innerited from the great war. He said that for most of the European belligerents the restoration of currencies to the pre-war standard would mean suffering too great to be endured and would probably end in total or partial national bankruptcy. The cancellation of all international war debts would obviously help the debtor countries to carry through policies of drastic deflation, but would not necessarily mean that such policies would or could be adopted EX-KAISER BEFRIENDS A NEGRO DRUMMER POTSDAM Germany, Oct 14 - The ex-Kainer has already begun to bestow his wedding favors. One of the most overjoyed beneficiaries is Sambo, a South African Negro, who was a favorite of the emperor in the old days. Sambo was then a bass drummer in the regimental hand of the famous Life Guard Hunters, the pick of the German military machine. It was Sambo who led the band, the practice being for the drum to precede the other instruments. Since the demobilization of the army Sambo has been out of a job. When the former emperor heard of it he began making inquiries among his friends in Berlin. The result is that Sambo will now grace Unter den Linden in a baby-blue uniform The Hotel Adlon, Berlin's smart hostelry, has engaged him as a taxi call man. He will be parading in front of the hotel, greeting the arriving Americans and other guests.

In the same way that it is expected that the British Empire will fall with the fall of Lloyd George so are the enemies of African freedom looking for the same thing to happen to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But the fact is this That Lloyd George may be defeated but Lloyd George will not leave the British Empire Garvey will not be defeated as long as the Red the Black and the Green waves in the breeze. They may assault him they may do whatever they like but even though they close up every branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the world the Universal Negro Improvement Association will still go on (applaud) and it will go on until Africa is redeemed for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. The Call to Negroes Today we are calling out for Negroes all over the world. Our battle cry is Africa our Motherland one and indisputable. We shall not stop though they may persecute us though they may hindrance before us and I appeal to you to stand as strong as ever in the faith of 'One God One Aim One Destiny'. Men have come and men have gone but the Universal Negro Improvement Association is still here. Our Leader Maligned Today they are saying everything imaginable about our great leader—even some of our own members who a few months ago said they would die for the movement. Let me say to you that whenever you say one word against the Universal Negro Improvement Association you are saying something against yourselves, you are hurting nobody but yourselves. They spoke against Washington but Washington continued his work. They said he was a traitor to the British government but Washington never stopped. I believe it is God who has implanted in the human heart the spirit of patriotism and since that is so, I have implicit confidence that some day through the instrumentality of this great movement we will march on to the promised land the land promised to us by God when He said, "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God." The time is not far distant. Behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining and the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn.

Future Questions Lloyd George told his friends that he is tired and wants a rest.

COALITION CABINET EMBRACED EVERY PARTY IN ENGLAND The Coalition Cabinet of Britain which was formed by Lloyd George in January 1919 and which resigned recently, has been characterized as an amazing amalgam of all parties. Instead of being a concrete body of the same political faith as the Premier, it was made up of men reflected from all parties. Not only did it embrace the two distinct, opposing parties of Liberals and Conservatives, it contained also all the variants of these two bodies. The Coalition Cabinet embraced Stalwart Liberals, Stalwart Conservatives, Liberal Unionists, Advanced Liberals, Radicals, Labor Fascists and Labor Extremists. Its only homogeneity was in its pledge, at the time of its formation, to support Lloyd George BIG BILL AT THE LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK Miss Rose Allen of the "Lafun" Thru 1922," which opens an engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday afternoon for a week's engagement, is a vision of beauty in her role of the Mysterious Girl Wherever she has gone press and public have showered her with deserved praise.

RACE LEADERS SOUND CALL TO ADVANCE Law Enforcement Conference a Great Success—Utmost Harmony Prevails (Special to The Negro World) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 10.—The National Temperance and Law Enforcement Conference, recently held in this city, was a notable success. It brought together one of the largest and most representative groups of Negro leaders ever assembled in America, and bounded a clarion call to high character and good citizenship that will be heard throughout the nation. He enforcing the many eloquent and stirring speeches the conference adopted a number of vigorous pronouncements on prohibition law enforcement, juvenile delinquency, education vice, crime health and social morality, and on the relation of the church, the home and the press to these several subjects. These reports were formulated by carefully chosen commissions and were referred to a Committee on Findings to be correlated into a single statement and given to the public. This statement will be most significant as representing the united voice of the Negro leadership of America. Its publication will be awaited eagerly. The conference was notable not only for the number and distinction of its speakers but also for the harmony and unanimity that characterized their utterances. In the whole program there was not a discordant note, every speaker or pleading eloquently for temperance, law enforcement, high moral character and good citizenship.

LLOYD GEORGE FELL BY DELAY, SAYS PAISH Sir George Blames the Whole Cabinet for Diplomatic Failure in Near East—Opposes British Tariff—Noted Economist Arrives to Speak on "Foreign Trade and International Debts" Bir George Paish, noted British economist and financial advisor to the Treasury during the war, arrived yesterday on the Cumarder Aquitania from Southampton and expressed the opinion that the Coalition government headed by Lloyd George had been defeated through its action in the recent crisis in the Near East. It was not because of the sending of troops and warships to Chanak to defend the Dardanelles against the advance of the Turks, Bir George pointed out to the reporters, but the delay in handling the Near East problem, which had necessitated such an action, and the expenditure of so much money to add to the burdens of the British taxpayer. It was not only Lloyd George, but every member of the Coalition cabinet who was to blame in the matter. The general opinion in England was that the critical condition there should not have arisen and would not have developed if proper diplomatic measures had been taken earlier to handle the situation. To Speak on International Debts Sir George has come here as the guest of the American Manufacturers Association to deliver at address before that organization next Wednesday at the Waldorf-Astoria on "Foreign Trade and International Debts." He was met at Quarantine by Stanle, Quinn, representing Louis E. Pierson, president of the Merchants' Association Sir George declined to talk upon the subject of his discourse next Wednesday, but had prepared a short statement for the reporters which expressed his views on current topics of the day; it follows "The downfall of Lloyd George was expected by many to take place in November a, the scheduled meeting of the conservatives but it was hastened by the crisis in the Near East. Although there is no criticism of the fact that England made a stand at Chatham there was a decided feeling that the necessity of sending troops to Turkey should not have arisen. To withdraw would have meant that the victorious Turks would have gone into Constantinople and controlled the Dardanelles, which must be kept open to all allies might have caused a conflagration in the Balkans which would have again plunged the world into war. Such a situation as described should not have arisen. It is believed by many and the consequence is that Lloyd George's resignation came quickly. Now Bonar Law has taken charge, and the Conservatives are in power, controlling fully three-fourths of Parliament, and what will be, done next no one knows. Certainly there will be no difference in the relations between Great Britain and the United States. No matter whether the Conservatives, Liberals or the Labor Party are in power all wish to be on the most friendly terms with you here. Again, there can be but little change in the Irish situation, for the majority of the people of England have decided that Ireland has been given dominion rule and must be allowed or preempt without interference. Lloyd Georges downfall however has shown that the Coalition has been a lamentable failure. Whether the Conservatives will go before the people for a general election, as I believe they will, will not be known for a time, but it is probable that they will, although they have the power to stay in office until late next year. 'Better that we have an absolute Conservative or absolute Liberal Government than an attempt at coalition' 'The Coalition movement is but a give and take' matter at the best, and it can have no determined policy, save one determined by the circumstances that arise from time to time Blames Condition Cabinet 'As to the Near East, all the blame should not fall on Lloyd George, despite the fact that he is the acknowledged head. The blame rests on all the members of the Cabinet. What Bonar Law will do no one knows as yet, but my position on his well-known policies is best expressed by the fact that I am standing against him in the exchange district of Glasgow a district which comprises the principal business and financial part of the Scotch city. It is well known that the concessives are pledged to a 331.3 per cent tariff against countries which have a depleted currency and also they are for a preferential rate for the demands of the British Empire. It is my belief, especially at this time that any attempt at the protective tariff, so called, in England now is the worst thing that could happen for the British Empire. It would be disaster. At the present time it is essential to produce the barrier against trade. The British Empire should pursue the policy of the open door if it is to live. When asked to express an opinion on the recent Fordney Tariff bill in the United States, Sir George Palish amused and shook his head. I am only discussing the affairs of the British Empire he said - New York Times LABOR TO RULE BRITAIN IN 5 YEARS, SAYS WEDGWOOD military troops camouflage and a company are out of power forever and full-blooded reactionaries will take control of the British reins of government (to Joshua) Wedgwood vice president of the British Labor Party said last night in an address at Cooper Union.

These the years and colonial Weldg wood discussing the debate in British politics, will be better years for labor. But bitter as they are they will result in good for the reactionaries will cut their own throats and the worker will assume control of his political district. Colonel Wedgwood who is a member of the British monarchy but a Fabian in his support, of the masses, recently arrived in this country to assist in the membership drive of the American Labor Party, which wishes to rolegate trade unionism to the back and bring forth a national labor union. He is now a labor member in Parliament and won distinction in the World War II Flanders and it Gallipoli. "The rule of the Conservatives is in and it will be used for labor bitter indeed" he said, "on there is some consolation in the." The rule of its action which will follow under Bonar Law will try to get blood out of a stone to collect German reparations, for instance. By such methods he and his cabins will dig their graves, because they will rule England by the power of the sword."

In the turn of readjustment that followed he sent his scout at the steering wheel when all around him were losing theirs The three men with whom he sat at Paris as the "Big Four" of the peace conference long ago were toppled over. Premier Orlando of Italy was the first to go his cabinet resigned in June. 1919 The following January Clementeau the French "Tiger." was cast aside. Two months later the Senate of the United States refused for a second time to ratify the peace treaty Woodrow Wilson had brought from Versailles and not long afterwards his party was beaten at the polls. Irish Parleva After all of the other three had been put aside, Lloyd George became probably the most outstanding figure in public affairs. His position was strengthened, so far as history is concerned after all the other war statesmen had gone, because it was he who acted as Great Britain's spokesman in the parliies last winter with the rebellious Irish leaders parliies which led to the creation of the Free State. Lloyd George was born in Manchester England January 17, 1863 His father, a Unitarian school master, died when David was an infant, and the child was adopted by an uncle, Richard Lloyd, a Welsh shoemaker and lay preacher. With only a limited education David went into a law office. Then he married and soon dived into politics. Entered Cabinet For eighteen years he was a Liberal member of Parliament. His ascent to a place among the mighty began in 1906 when Asquith became Prime Minister. The little Welshman entered the cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer. it's toasted. This one extra process gives a delightful quality that can not be duplicated In 1916, when England was threatened with strikes, at a time when Germany was scoring heavy successes on the Western front, Lloyd George left the Chancellorship of the Exchequer to become Minister of Munition. When "Kitchoner of Khartqum" was lost at sea the Welshman took his place as Secretary of State for War. Then, on December 6, 1916, he was called to the Premiership. Increased Shipping During the war he turned the industries of Great Britain into vast mints toops factories, raised an army of 5,500,000 men, and organised 5,000,000 "war workers." He provided for construction of 4,000,000 tons of shipping. He helped make it possible for the United States to transport 2,000,000 soldiers to the Western front. Other remarkable achievements of his regime included the enfranchisement of women, the minimum wage for farmers, and successful prosecution of the Palestine expedition. On Supreme Council When the Peace Conference was assembled at Paris he went there as head of the British delegation and with President Wilson, Orlando and Darwin Chinda of Japan constituted the Supreme Council. It was frequently said of Lloyd George that no statesman ever changed his mind on important questions as many times. Personally, he was always popular, and not even the Prince of Wales was photographed more often than the little Welshman who bore the title of Prime Minister.

THE FALL OF DAVID LLOYD GEORGE HE news of the resignation of David Lloyd George, Premie: T of England, fell like a bolt from the blue upon a startle: world on October 1" of last week Coming five days aite his speech at a luncheon oi the Manchester Reform Club, when hi successfully answered his enemies and ably defended his Turkis! policy, as Mr. Arthur Brisbane intimates, to say that it was . surprise would be putting it mildly. It was more like a shock The headlines in the daily press leave nu doubt as to the 1m mediate cause of his fall “British Chief Forced Out by Laburites and Conservatives,” “Near East Policy Broke Premer,” “Lloyd George Fell by Delay, Says Paish," “Sir George Blames the Whole Cabinet for Diplomatic Failure in Near East,” “Resignagion o Lloyd George Brings a Finish to Zig-caggig Course Purstied fi jour Years.” These headlines themselves tell the story David Lloyd George was the last of the “Big Four” whe mud: led up things around the peace table at Versailles, France, i “January, 1919, to go. Premier Orlando of Italy dropped the reins f power in June, 1919. Clemenceau, the “Tiger” of France, was rleft Bigh and dry in January, 1920. The United States Senate in March, 1920, refused for the second time to ratify the peace treaty &hat Woodrow Wilson imported from Versailles, and m the fol- lowing fall his party was driven from the polls. So {ar two years zand a half David Lloyd George has remained the world’s one out- 6tanding statesman, the most powerful political figure of the twon- tieth century. The Career of David Lioyd George It is rare for a man who sprang from the common penple to rise to the top in England, and David Lloyd George's career reads “more like the story of an American statesman. He was born in Manchester, England, January 17, 1863. His uncle, Richard Lloyd, “& Welsh shoemaker and lay preacher, adopted him when an infant after the death of his father, a Unitarian schoolmaster. With only a limited education, he entered a law office, married and plunged mto politics. He soon became a Liberal member of Parhament and remained 80 for 18 years. In 1906. when David Lloyd George was 43 years old, Asquith became Prime Minister and placed him in his Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ten years later, in 1916, Lloyd George's big uppurtumty came, when in the midst of the World War he became Minister of Mum- tions and in December of that year Secretary of State fur War. His acts in these positions of turning the industrial plants of Great Britain into munition factories, of raising an army of 5,500,000 men, ‘of organizing 5,000,000 ‘war workers,” of providing for construc- ion of 4,000,000 tons of shipping and of helping the Umted States to stransport 2,000,000 soldiers to France were largely responsi for fe winning of the World War. f His Fall 3, It seems incongruous that after such a brillant war iecord i nd after adjusting the Irish question and the Indian trouble that David Lloyd George should be forced out of office. It is un- ifoubtedly true that the immediate cause of the downfall of Lloyd i eorge was the Unionist or Tory or Conservative party of Eng- ifand under Sir George Younger withdrawing their support from jEloyd George and pledging it to the radical Labor party” It va ifrye that Younger was nettled because Lloyd George previously Bemanded that he be custed as hend of the Unionist machine and faw his opportunity when the Turkish crisis presented itself. But Phe cause.of the fall of Lloyd George is deeper and resides in the Btaracter of the man. Hy’ the very thing that made Lioyd George great during the war pial.

Including Midnight Supper, $1.00 Come and Enjoy Yourself Dy EUGENE J. YOUNG Lloyd George, the last of the war rulers, was overthrown because he could not ride two horses pulling in opposite directions. These horses were the Conservative and the Liberal elements of the Coalition, which was put together during the war and attempted to go on in the reconstruction period. The present House of Commons was elected in December, 1918, and took office in the following February for a five-year term after what was called the "khukul election," when the candidates of the Coalition, led by Lloyd George, promised to punish the Kaiser and other Germans and to collect from Germany "to the last farthing." The Coalition elected 478 members to 229 in opposition, of whom 73 were Sinn Feiners, who did not take their seats. The Unionists had 334 of the majority seats and the Lloyd George Liberal only 123. Ministry Divided The Ministry was divided between the two parties, with a preponderance for the Unionists, but with some of the Unionist leaders supporting Lloyd George in his policies. On all big questions there have been sharp divisions and oftentimes departments of the Government have followed contrary policies. The differences finally came to a head over the settlement of the Turkish question, when Lloyd George announced a policy of force against the Turks, while Lord Curzon, Foreign Minister, insisted on a policy of conciliation. In a bitter conflict the Cabinet held with Curzon. Advantage of this bitter quarrel was taken by the members of the Unionist Party, led by Sir George Younger, its Parliamentary whip. When the news was brought out that Chamberlain had been beaten by a more than two-to-one division, there were fright to demonstrations of delight at military isolate and smugly housed Tucker unable to repress their actions, dancing up and down the pavement with linked arms. Could Have Forced Election His resignation, however, did not cause an election. The present House capped an election. The present House Communes still has the right to sit and elect it, 1924. Under the un- derstates that is without recognition (constitution of Britain, Lloyd George holds the office of regina, to give whether the name to form a Calvinot of any thing to the country," that is demanding an election. He chose the former course. Then same in the provisorate of the King There is a simple, inexpensive way that 300,000 mothers have of providing a safeguard against colds, coughs, hoarse ears, spasmodic crop, and catarrhal symptoms and mena are not serious if given prompt attention—but many a doctor of a dear one from pneumonia, diphtheria or influenza will switch to time when it is too急 as it relates to a common cold. First, such medicines are not necessary—and may do more harm than good. Each medicine at home about £1.00, and make a pure effective medicine at home expense and anxiety. They purchase 96% of the pure concentrated Essence Menthol-Lax, and the dosage of sugar and water have a full pint at a cost of less than £1.00. A few doses given when a cold or cough first directs come with the Essence Menthol-Lax child could make a full pint in less than 10 minutes. Good doctors and drummers recommend it. both ever sold for Couch and Odd", "for two trial bottles (or the Blackwell Productions" "and two bottles)." to call upon some other statesman to form a Cabinet Oustensely the King can call whom he prepares. It is the unwritten law, however, that the leader of the "Opposition," the strongest party in the Commons apart from the government party, shall be called. With a Coalition Government in power, the strongest faction, now in revolt, becomes the "Opposition." In this instance the problem was most peculiar. Not only had the Unionists overthrown Lloyd George, but they had beaten their own leader, Austen Chamberlain. The Unionists have not yet chosen a leader, but the King was advised by Lloyd George to call in Andrew Bonar Law, who, by leading the fight in the conference, had become the unofficial leader of the Unionists. Bonar Law will now have the opportunity of forming a new Cabinet, which could remain in office until a year from December if it could hold a majority in the House of Commons. While Bonar Law is engaged in this task, or until a Ministry is formed by someone else, the present Cabinet will continue to conduct the routine business of the country. This business will really be carried on by subordinates, the Ministers making no real decisions. If the Unionists were united they could hold power, for they have a clear majority in the House of Commons. But they are badly divided and a large portion of the party is likely to follow Lloyd George. For this reason the understanding in London last night was that Bonar Law or some other Unionist would form a government only to call and hold a general election. When the election is called there will be no such extended campaign as we are accustomed to in this country. Brits there are supposed to keep abreast of public affairs and to be ready at all times to cast their votes. Just how much grace will be given depends somewhat on the Ministry, but it will undoubtedly be a matter of but a few weeks between announcement and actual voting. How brief a campaign may be is illustrated by the last general election. Wishing to take advantage of the victory and have a new "mandate" from the country before the Peace Conference met, Lloyd George suddenly dissolved Parliament November 25, fourteen days after the Armistice was signed. The nominations were made December 4 and ten days later the election was held. It is probable more time will be given in this instance. There is no such excitement over election returns in Britain as in the United States. Two weeks elapse between the polling and the counting and announcement of the result. Formerly the elections ran over a series of days and propertyed electors had the right to vote in many constitutencies. Now all elections are held on the same day and even the most favored can vote in only two constituencies—New York World. SUNSET ON THE LAKE 'Tis glorious, yea glorious, sunset on the lake. Your thoughts may be capricious, sunset's always great. You sigh for the golden sunbeams, you crave for just one touch. But the golden mist beguiles you—why do you ask so much? From the deck of a giant steamer, while you pace and look afar, Her thumping seems to encourage, though you are just so sad. But the golden mist beguiles you—grip the rail for joy. The mists had seemed to touch your lips, you wonder, why! oh, why? Arise! and look, O people, the sun's as bright as peace. He blushes as he smiles at you, pray, pray, what's your wish? Yet a foreign mist his visage mars, you see the sunbeam's play. There is not a scene in the whole wide world as sunset on the lake. JAS. H. THEODORE. Toronto, Canada. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 HAMPTON DEFEATS "BATTLING SIKI" AS A DARK MORGAN, 6-0 Morgan Shuts Out Hampton for Three Periods—Dean Runs 40 Yards for Hampton Touchdown By HENRY A. CORNISH HAMIPTON, N.A., Oct. 18—Hampton Institute football team won its first game of the season on Saturday, October 14, by defeating the fast Morgan College team by a score of 6 to 0. The game was played on Armstrong Field. It was a great battle from beginning to end. The day was clear and slightly cool—very inviting to the large crowd of spectators who filled the bleachers. At 305 Hampton kicked to Morgan's 10-yard line. The Hampton line held, and Morgan was forced to submit the pigkin on her 25-yard line. Hampton advanced the ball to Morgan's 5-yard line and was held for down. Morgan kicked out of danger to the 50-yard line. The rest of this quarter was a "kicking duel" in Morgan's territory. Hampton lost two good chances to score. Morgan Pass is Intercepted The second quarter opened with the ball in Morgan's possession on Hampton's 40-yard line. Morgan made a 10-yard gain through the line. Morgan tried a forward pass which Hardwick, of Hampton, intercepted Hardwick ran 20 yards. Hampton made two first downs by line plunging. A fumble by Hampton was covered by Morgan, who kicked the pigskin. The ball was advanced to the 55-yard line. Hampton hit the line for a first down. Here Hampton tried to score with a drip kick. The half ended with the ball in Morgan's possession on the Hampton 35 yard line. Morgan Drop Kick Fails Hampton opened the second half with a kick off to Morgan's 6-yard line. Morgan. In turn, kicked out of hot water. Hampton was held for diving and was forced to present the pigskin to Morgan. Morgan again kicked, this time the ball going to Hampton's 32-yard line. Then Hampton kicked to the 60-yard line. Morgan made a first down and on her next play tried to score with a drop kick. The ball was brought out to the 60-yard line and put into play. Hampton made a first down and tried to kick, but it was blocked. When the dust had cleared and the referee had reached the bottom of the heap of human warriors, it was discovered the precious pigskin. Hampton made two first downs. The quarter ended with the ball on Morgan's 32-yard line with Hampton the possessor. Dean Makes a Touchdown Hampton opened this quarter with an attempt to drop kick. This was blocked and covered by Morgan. Morgan kicked to Hampton's 40-yard line. Dean, of Hampton, hit the Morgan line. He broke through and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. Hampton kicked off to Morgan's 10-yard line and the ball was advanced ten yards. Morgan kicked. Hampton then began marching down the field. The game ended with Morgan backed up against her goal, with Hampton a foot and a half to go. Both teams played good, clean football. The Morgan team, however, showed better generalship. Morgan has the prospects of a good team—a lighting team. It is expected that this team will give a good account of itself. Captain Dabney, of the Hampton team, was unable to play in Saturday's game on account of a lame shoulder. There was plenty of music and cheering, which added to the beauty of the liampton-Morgan contest. Line-up IHAMPTON. 6 MORGAN. 0 Ruffin, A. R. LE. Hill Crasay L.T. Redd Coleman L.J. Bright Green, J.

"BATTLING SIKI" AS A DARK CLOUD ON THE HORIZON A black man from Africa, stout of heart, skillful in the use of his hands, and strong of body, lately administered a distinct jolt to the foundations of the world as it is today. He was a Senegalese, a native of one of the French provinces, and he beat Georges Carpenter, the heavyweight champion of Europe, fighting with him on an equal footing, man to man and pound to pound. The prestige of the white race, in danger now as never before in recent history, what with the victories of the Turks and the growing unrest among the subjects of Mohammed nations of Asia, is threatened by the victory of "Battling Siki," new middleweight champion of the world and heavyweight champion of Europe. That national or racial prestige should be affected by a bout of fistfights may be a proposterious absurdity. gravely observes the editor of the Springfield Republican, but the fact remains, nevertheless, that such is the case. Politically, it was an indiscretion for France to incur the risk of such a victory, believes the Republican's editor, and the match would probably have been avoided if there had been supposed to be the slightest chance of such an outcome as the success of the black fighter. A good many commentators are reminded of the situation in our own country where Harry Wills, an outstanding colored boxer, is threatening to deprive Mr Jack Dempsey, world's champion heavyweight, of his title. Dempsey beat Carpenter, of course, but Dempsey was much the larger man, and the general view in France was that Carpenter was unbentable, except by such superior size and weight as he encountered when he met the American champion. Siki, weighing but half a pound more than his opponent, battered the Frenchman into unconsciousness, and "what gives the match special significance" points out The Republican editorial writer, "is that it makes Siki champion of Africa, the more virile nations of which are already rather upset by the war." French sport writers in general are more interested in the pugilistic side of the fight, as are most of our own commentators, than they are in racial and international complications, but several of them are reminded that France has a vast subject population of black people who may make trouble if they take their attitude of respectful admiration for the white man. Prestige rather than force, it is pointed out is the power by which the colonies are ruled. To have to rule by force would be costly, wasteful, and difficult, if not impossible. The same general situation faces England, and to a lesser degree, Italy. The blacks in the British and Italian colonies are largely Mohammedan, and already, in many places, they are disaffected by the allied government's differences with the Turks. The novel *Settling Slim*'s victory will be used by agitators in Egypt, in India, in Africa, and in numerous islands of the sea. A colored man as the boxing champion of Europe, victor over the Frenchman who had thoroughly beaten the best man that England had to bring against him, is a matter likely to cause many serious thoughts in the chancelleries of England as well as in one of France. These views are summed up by the editorial writer in the Springfield Republican, who reaches the same general conclusions as are reached by several of the surprising number of editorial writers in the United States who have been moved to comment on the recent French boxing contest. The Springfield editor observes: "Even in civilized countries such matters are taken more seriously than they deserve, and the defeat of British boxers by Cappentier has inspired grave reflections on national stamina. It can readily be understood that among primitive peoples even greater importance should be attached to physical force. In the British Empire it has long been understood that to expose white prestige to the danger of a defeat of this sort is undesirable, and for the French Empire also the war has made this question serious. "Before the war France had but 70,000 native troops, all stationed in the colonies. By the new military program the peace army of 606,000 men will contain 100,000 professional soldiers, 800,000 French conscripts, 206,000 African natives, also conscripted, many of whom will serve in Europe. During the war France recruited nearly 850,000 colored warriors and workers, whose war experience has left its effects. As a French writer has lately pointed out, the colonies 'sent 850,000 of their most vigorous young men to fight militarism in Europe, and the survivors have brought back the infection to their native land.' "Up to the time of the war, he says, 'we were regarded as invincible masters.' Then came the demand for them to come to Europe and save French civilization. Flattered and courted by white women, written up and flattered by the press, jolled and flattered by our politicians, is it strange that they believed they had arrived? They ceased to regard white Frenchmen as unquestionably superiors. 'Our military glories no longer dazzle them.' Were they not told daily that they were the equals, if not the superiors, of the most valiant French troops? Then came the occupation of Germany by colored troops. 'We fancied that we could thus humilitate the barbarians, forgetting that we were at the same time humilating the entire white race.' By that measure, he thinks, we have probably prepared the way for tyranny law in our colonies.' "The permeation of the most warlike nations of Africa by hundreds of thousands of veterans of the World War, reinforced yearly from the 29,000 called up every year for training in the PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY most up-to-date military science, is of serious import for France and for the world. Africa is being educated for war when its paramount need is to be educated in the works of peace. And if the Senegalese and others thus trained are already ceasing 'to regard white Frenchmen as unquestionably superiors', the easy and overwheming defeat by the 'black leopard' of such a boxer as France may not in a century again be able to produce can not be considered a good thing for the French Empire. "High praise must be given, however, to the sportmanship of the Paris crowd, which after recovering from its first dismay would not tolerate anything that savored of unfair play or a decision on a technicality, and ended by transferring to the victor the enthusiastic regard which the fallen idol of France had forfeited." Among the large amount of editorial and sporting comment along the same general line as that taken by "The Republican's" editor, the observation is common that the results of this light in France will be heard from among a number of different nations in various parts of the world. The fact that the new champion has a war record as creditable as has the ex-IDOL of the French public" whom he knocked out is a point which has its effect everywhere. Hiki won the Croix de Guerre in the Great War and a number of special citations. In physical bravery, involving risk of life, he stands out as the comper of Carpenter, whose own record in the war has been cited so frequently to the disparagement of our own Mr. Dempsey. The American champion, as numerous American Legion paper recall, was employed in a shipyard throughout the war, while Carpenter risked his life at the front. The French sporting public, in a way which calls forth praises in many quarters for its fairness, has unreservedly transferred its admiration and affection to the new champion. An attempt by the judges at the big fight which bought victory to the black to give the decision to Carpenter on an alleged foul roused widespread indignation. It was plain that there had no beo foul, that Sikh had won honestly, said the reporters at the ringside, and that an attempt was made, for political reasons, to rob him of his triumph. At the same time, sporting spirit aside, these political considerations are not to be sneezed at. The editor of the Boston "Globe" sums up this phase of the matter in the following editorial: "Some knockouts are heard round the world. The last blow administered to M. Georges Carpenter by Bikki, the Senegalese, is reverberating wherever the skins of some folk are darker than the skins of others. By this time runners in the jungles of Africa are spreading the news that the idol of France was jarred from his pedestal by a blow from a native son of the Dark Continent. "The new light heavyweight champion feels in a position to dictate terms, at least to fight promoters. He is willing to appear in America for a consideration of 1,100,000 francs not, exclusive of the income tax. His pictures have been in all the papers; the cables carry daily reports of what he does and says. His position is made more prominent by his complexion, because, whether he wishes to have it or not, his victory over a white man has given a new turn to the race question.

The Turks are hailed by the millions further east as belonging with them. The situation at the Dardanelles is being felt in India and beyond, where the natives are deeply conscious of antagonism to white interopers from the West. "Thinking of Sikh, sporting circles are asking for a White Hope, just as Europeans are wondering who will block the way if the Eastern tide begins to roll over the Balkans. "The white monopoly of force seems to have had its day. If white folks are to hold their supremacy, they must find a basis which knockouts will not disturb." The fact that numbers of Senegalese are in Europe interests an editorial writer on the Detroit News. He recalls German reports of the ferocity of the French Colonial troops, and heads his editorial "Georges Could Say It All." His remarks are in humorous vein, but any reader, by comparing the views quoted from the Boston and Springfield papers, can supply a moral much like that drawn by more serious commentators. This cheerful editorial runs: "When Georges Carpentier, with a flat nose and other disfiguring tokens, went to sleep on the floor, France realised she had made a great mistake. All the plains of international humanitarians, of the black troops themselves, had been unavailing; the Senegalese remained, the mercenaries of conquest peopleling a troubled Europe and exciting resentment and apprehension. "Siki the mauling Senegalese, says he trains on hard liquor and is a bad man. Without any doubt he must be. Even the most conservative accounts describe Carpentier's face as looking like the result of a surgical clinic by eager but inexpert students. It seems only yesterday that W. K. Kelsey described the jaunty Georges boulevarding his smiling way through devoted Parisian throngs. The Dempsey affair had been long forgotten. "Then came this bad man from Africa. He learned the white man's way. He learned boxing. He learned to drink hard liquor. He learned something of the fat rewards the public puts up for a good mauling contest between heavies. So the bad man from Africa left the cabarets long enough to lean heavily against Georges and smack him for a goal while with his other hand he tore away reputation, honors and pulchritude at one fell swoop. "The progressive element in France who so earnestly deplore the employment by their country of the black troops can not do better than mend Georges and send him to the Chamber to present their case. Anything Carpenter can't say about the ferocity and menace of the Senegalese can be left unsaid." A larger moral is found in the Sikh triumph by the editor of the New York "Tribune." He recalls another black who later won honor in France. "This has been a great year for the Negro in Paris," he writes: "First the Goncourt Academy of lit- textures astounded the Purring world of letters by giving the Gonpourt prize for the best novel of the year to "Batoule," the work of Rene Maran, a full-blooded Negro. There was little consolation for the Catalan race in this award. The father of Maran was a native of Martinique, the mother of Guadalupe. To be sure, he was born at Bordenux, France, and had gained his African experiences upon which his book was based while serving in the French colonial forces in Central Africa. But his book was an outspoken criticism of French officialdom and was in effect a plea on behalf of his dark and sublent brethren. "Now, on a different level of culture, but one hardly less interesting by the white race. It would seem, and one for which the white race has certainly laid down the rules of competition. Siki, the Senegalese, pounds his way to triumph. That large portion of Paris which was present seems to have applauded the result with complete impartiality, turning against its hero of its own color with that cheerful fickleness which seems to be the trait of most crowds without regapi to nationality. "Is there any moral for the white man or the black man in America? The double achievement rather glances those extreme advocates of white supremacy who assert that the Negro belongs inevitably in a lowly walk of life. It supports those friends of the Negro who ask that he have a free chance to develop in those cases of unmistakable talent of which Rene Maran is a clear example." Sikh will shortly come to this country to harvest in the large purse that will be his for the gathering, a fast, perhaps, which helps to account for the columns of publicity, much of it called over at a considerable cost per word, which is appearing in the American press. It is reported that the colored boxer resembles, with great closeness, both the grille and the leopard. One newspaper writer casually throws out the phrase "the Genegasee from St. Louis," without explaining just how he got that way. "Sikh, the Significant" will soon be among his suggests that it will be well for the colored boxer to modify his customarily Parisian behavior while in New York, under penalty of some "stormy protesta." The boxing promoter who is bringing Sikh over made a wise move in selecting an American colored fighter, Kid Norfolk, as Sikh's first opponent, believes this written.

FERRIS Author of "The African Abroad." In the editorial on "Pushkin and Duman" Mr Eric Walrond, one of the members of the editorial staff of The Negro World, wrote "At a time when so much is being said about Negro fiction it is well to note that fiction—that is, good fiction—must steer clear of propaganda. In his preface to "Batouala," Rene Maran speaks of the utter objectivity of his book and also of a forthcoming work which he is at present engaged on and which will be entirely subjective. In other words, if he had tried to overwhelm the world with ideas on the brutality of French rule in equatorial Africa there would have been no "Batouala." Still, if a Negro paraphrasing Allen Wilson Porterfield had written "Uncle Tom's Cabin" there is no telling where the race would be today." To my mind this sums up the position that I maintained in my chapter on "The American Negro's Contribution to Literature" in "The African Abroad" nine years ago. This raises the question, "What is there wrong in proparanda fiction?" The Ten Greatest Novels Twelve years ago last spring a contest was launched by a Boston newspaper for the purpose of awarding prizes to those who selected the world's ten greatest novels. The committee of judges, consisting of noted college professors, authors and editors, decided upon the following as the world's ten greatest novels: "The Three Musketeers," by Alexander Dumas; "Les Misérables," by Victor Hugo; "Tvanhoe," by Sir Walter Scott; "The Last Days of Pompeii," by Lord Bulwer-Lytton; "Ben-Hur," by General Lew Wallace; "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe; "The Scarlet Letter," by Nathaniel Hawthorne; "Adam Bede," by George Eliot; "Vanity Fair," by W. M. Thackray; "A Tale of Two Cities," by Charles Dickens. "Passers-By," "Homo Sum," "Hypatia," "Prusinae," "Quintus Claudius," "The Gladiator," "Barabbas," and "Scottish Chief" impressed me as much as some of the selected ten. If a list were made out today possibly a novel of H. G. Wella-oe Hall Caine would get in the fortunate ten, and possibly not. In the totality of his work Balzac was wonderful. But there was no one particularly novel of his that swept the English-speaking world. A careful survey of the novels indicates that five of them—"The Three Musketeers," "Ivanhoe," "The Last Days of Pompeii," "Ben-Hur" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin"—show that besides the adventures and love affairs of the greater and lesser heroes and heroines these novels are descriptive presentations of dramatic epochs of human history. The first tells of the glory of the court of Louis XIV of France and Cardinal Richelieu, with intrigues of states. The second pictures chivalry during the Middle Ages and breathes the spirit of that period. The third pictures the autumnal splendor of the Roman civilization. The fourth presents the Graeco-Roman world in the age of Christ. The fifth gives a wonderfully vivid picture of American civilization. 1. Of the remaining five novels, two—"Les Miserables" and "Vanity Fair"—brilliantly describe the Battle of Waterloo." Victor Hugo's is probably the world's greatest battle picture. Two—"Adam Bede" and "The Scarlet Letter"—not only give psychological analysis of human souls, but envisage the moral condition of the age of the heroes and heroines around whom the story contens. Why Rene Maran's "Batutaia" Won the Gonesault Prize Now on a smaller scale the Rene Maran novel, "Batouala," possesses the qualities which made "The Three Musketeers," "Ivanhoe," "The Last Days of Pompei" "Ban-Hur" and "Uncle MAGAZINE PAGE Tom's Cabin famous. The plot centers around a love romance. The favorite wife of Bataoula, an African king, falls in love with a young and handsome Don Juan. But "Bataoula does more than unfold a love affair. It gives a realistic picture of primitive native life in a tropical jungle. The dance, the hunt and natural scenery show the touch of a realistic artist. Incidentally the oppression and injustice of Caucasian rule and French colonial policy are brought out. And here in where Bataoula differs from a propaganda novel per se, although it has a powerful propaganda effect. Ione Maran's ideas of the harshness and severity of French rule in equatorial Africa are not consciously forced upon the reader, but are revealed naturally in the course of the story. And here in where Maran's genius as a story teller shines superbly. Novels for Propaganda During the past year I have read a novel which will soon be published and a play which will some day be staged by Negro writers whose theme is the "external" race question. In the novel the plot centers around two colored girls, a colored man and a wealthy white artist. The white artist seduces a beautiful colored girl who posed for him. She, in revenge, slashes the picture and then commits suicide. The artist goes crazy, and the colored man she was once engaged to falls in love with and marries a noble colored girl. In the play the plot centers around the attempt of a Southern aristocrat to first seduce and then kidnap a beautiful and cultured colored girl, both of which attempts were frustrated. Now, this novel and this play are powerful and dramatic in parts. They have wonderful possibilities. But this is where they fall short of "Batouala" and the great novels that I have mentioned. Evidently the phase of the race question that impressed the novelist and playwright most was the quest of some white men for pretty colored girls. But here is where the propaganda purpose partly defeats itself. After reading the first few chapters one could tell what the outcome would be. And the charm and fascination of a real story is that you don't know how it will end. And you read with breathless interest and are held spellbound because you don't know how it will end. Then, again, the lure of sex which attracts some white men toward comely black, brown and yellow women is only one phase of the interrelation between blacks and whites in the Western Hemisphere, and a novel or play which hinges around this lure of sex only presents a fragmentary instead of a complete picture of the strivings of men and women of color in a hostile environment, and hence lacks the perspective and breadth of views of "The Three Musketeers." "The Last Days of Pompell," "Ivanhoe." "Ben-Hur" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Then, again, if Alexandre Dumas, Pere, Lord Bulwer-Lytton, Gen. Lew Wallace and Harriot Becker Slowe were handling that love episode they would make it a side show instead of the main show of the story; make it a smaller incidental plot instead of the main theme There is nothing wrong in a propaganda novel or play per se. "Ben-Hur." "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "The Scarlet Letter" show how powerfully propaganda can be woven into a story. But there is always this danger of a propaganda story or play—the novelist or playwright is liable to be awayed too much by his personal feelings and prejudices, to overemphasize the particular situation or problem that weighs upon his mind and oppresses his spirit, and hence he will present not the picture in its totality, but a fragment of the picture. A safe rule to follow would be to weave the propaganda into the thread THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 of the narrative instead of making it the fiber and texture out of which the story itself is woven. The Complete Picture We once met a talented young Negro writer, who had written a brilliant book on the Negro question in the form of a semi-novel, which white publishers were loath to publish. It was designed to arouse sympathy for a Negro struggling for the higher life but it was written from the standpoint of a partisan rather than a philosopher. The book did not even perfectly reflect the author's own experience. In his own experience white men as well as colored men had given him a helping hand and in his own experience colored men as well as white men had put stumbling blocks in his way. The result was that the book, which was, on the whole, scholarly, and, in parts, brilliant, was not exactly true to nature, not a complete picture of a Negro psychically reacting upon his environment. The painter who will really interpret nature must not only paint the plains and the trees but also the sky and the clouds, the hills and winding brooks. As he views a wonderful scene from a hilltop in Stockbridge, Mass., he may paint a splendid painting of the beautiful town of Stockbridge, but it will not be a perfect view of the Berkshire Hills unites the river and the plains beyond, which rise into the thickly wooded hills, are also included We find this completeness, this sense of fullness, in Homer, Shakespeare, "The Threo Musketeers." "The Last Days of Pompeii," "Ben-Hur," "Ivanhoe" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin." And we need this completeness, this sense of fullness, in the Negro novelist and Negro sociologist. What they often give is a powerful presentation of a section of the picture, a powerful reproduction of the segment of a circle, when the world calls for the presentation of the complete picture and the reproduction of the full circle. The colored writers have a difficult task before them. The weight of race prejudice bears so heavily down upon them, the shoes of caste proscription pinches them so hard that it is almost impossible for them to get in a calm, judicial frame of mind and write dispassionately. A man tossed about and battered in the storm and stress of life and crucible of experience can not caste, assume the philosophic point of view and write with the detachment of a disinterested spectator. He is in the combat. He feels the blows, the strain on muscles and sinews. He gets weared, he pants and gaasps for breath. And when we read the impassioned work of a colored novelist, playwright or scholar we must remember that we are not reading the works of a loisurely philosopher, smoking his pipe in peace and comfort, but of a man engaged in a struggle and race which taxes his mental, moral and physical energies to the utmost. Still, just as the Heron Age of Greece produced its Homer, just as the Middle Ages produced its Dante, just as medieval chivalry produced its Walter Scott and just as the anti-slavery movement produced its orator in Wendell Phillips and its writer in Harriet Beecher Stowe, who gave classic expression to the slave's longing for freedom, so, I believe, the present tense delicate and complicated race situation and race inter-relation today will produce a novelist who, with his pen, and the poet, who with his verse, will measure up to the demands of the occasion as Frederick Douglas, the orator, did with his voice fifty, sixty and seventy years ago. The vision of God and the setting of human life sub species determinism will assist in giving the Negro writer perspective and breadth of vision TO THE SUN Hall lord of light. Weekly Sermon --- MEMORY IS ETERNAL (Bt Luke XYT 25 'Son, Remember ) By G. EMONEI CARTER Christ in giving us this parable sets forth several lessons of importance, one of which is that our memory is eternal, that the things done and said in this life are recalled in our lives on the plane beyond the pole of death therefore, let us briefly study the value of memory in this lesson The value of any man to himself and to the world at large depends in a great degree upon his memory—upon his ability to recall and to use at any desired moment the recollection of what he has seen heard experienced or thought As an asset in practical life whether one ambition be literary scientific artistic or merely transferring dollars from one pocket into his own as a practical asset power of memory as of the highest conceiveable value. A good memory will give you a decided advantage over others an advantage which no other mental qualification will balance. Memory is not as we used to be taught many years ago a faculty of the soul. Memory is merely a term used to describe the way certain acts or thoughts tend to remain in the mind We remember host the things in which we have most interest the things in which we are most familiar. The memory, then of any act or thought may stick in mind or it may not, whether it is or is not remembered depends mainly upon the amount of attention we have given to that act or that thought at the time it was occurring. If therefore, we would have fine powers of memory, if we desire a large supply of clear, vivid memories, all under instant command, it is essential that we should pay to the thing or person we wish to remember strict attention and careful study. This is really the great secret of what is called good memory. 1. How to develop a memory a. Study the object you wish to remember in all its phases in all its peculiarities, in all its relations (Christ's object of study) b For the time being, in everything else out of mind the evil and selfish purposes, keep out by filling or occupying with good and altruistic ideas. Make object part of yourself. c Make Christ part of you by accepting Him as your personal Saviour His spirit, your spirit. His life, your life. His whole image, your entire possession. Are you living in such a way as to form memories that are sweet, pure and good, or in such a way as to form memories that are bitter, impure and wicked? Do your memories cause you to shudder, fear and shriek when sickness comes? Are there any who can remember when some illness came in your life or life of your family and you promised God and man you would do certain things if the illness was cured, and yet you have failed to keep this promise. Are there any who stood at the death bed of some relative or friend as they were leaving all that is mortal and being clothed in immortality, and promised them you would meet them in the greater life beyond? Are you willing to be reminded that for the sake of such memories you should make good the promise? Are there any that would accept Christ but you have memories of bitterness against someone and you won't give them up. Ah my friends are you cognizant of the fact that memory is exculsating and you must reill in after life your promises, even if you forget them now. That in after life you will desire to make amends, but you cannot. Now is the time. Start now. Make memories that you can well cherish and revere. Increase your joy by storing away deeds of love, mercy and truth. Two Illustrations How Memories Stay with Chief Justice Old relates the following story. That in passing a building that was being constructed in Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the laborers was suddenly caught beneath one of the iron girders that was being used in the construction. He, with others, went to the assistance of the man who was grooming in pain Justice Old repeated the simple childish prayer so well known to 832 East North Street, Clintonville, Ohio.

When Justice Old was through the old man renewed his groaning. Then Justice Old repeated the Lord's Prayer, and the man in his dying agonies repeated after him, word/for word and line for line. This is a concrete illustration that an old man who had lived many years could only recall, in his dying hours the one prayer no doubt taught him by some fond mother in his infancy. Better thus to be able to repeat a simple childish prayer in your dying hours than no prayer at all. Recollection of New Birth in Christ There is one common gr and on which we all are agreed, and that is the recollection of our being born again. It is impossible to forget this scene in our crate while busy lives. Carees worries complexities and what not may crowd in upon us, but we cannot help but remember the hour, the day and year' the moment when we accepted the higher way of living for the former lowly walk It seemed as if an angel sang a melody, A melody sublime and sweet. So sweet I thought of Easter chimes. Those royal chimes of peace. It seemed as if an angel sang a melody, A melody so rich, so rare. As rare as Oriental gems. Such gems as those we wish. It seemed as if an angel sang a melody, A melody, divine and true. It seemed to soothe as aching heart. A heart that longed for peace. You' a true angel really sang that melody. That melody sublime and sweet I listened and I heard the voice l singing that song of peace. 'Twas you that sang the melody. The melody so rich and rare. You sang the song with such sweet voice. A voice of love and cheer. You wonder what could be the melody 'Twas Hope, divine and true. Whispering back the echo, The voice of angel songs. THE NEW PSYCHOL The Rising Tide of Intellige the Negro People THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF THE NEGRO The Rising Tide of Intelligence Among the Masses of the Negro Peoples of the World Prior to the coming of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with its program of self-determination, economic independence, racial cohesiveness, nationalism and Negro psychology, it was next to impossible to assemble a crowd of Negroes in a public gathering intended for their racial welfare, in any great numbers, other than local or national politics or gatherings of a religious nature. This writer remembers in 1917, at which time he was president of an educational society here in Chicago, in a community of 100,000 Negroes, the society felt flattered when they had an attendance of fifty to hear their lectures, even after much advertising What was true five years ago in this respect is not true today. Negroes throughout the world have undergone a great psychological change, and have had such an awakening through the philosophy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—a philosophy of manhood, courage, racial kinship, racial pride and enlightened self-interest, that though five years ago it was an effort to assemble fifty, it is an easy matter today to gather them by the thousands, and for proof of this statement just visit any U. N. L. A. mass meeting in any large city, and there you will find determined, eager and serious faces by the thousands, contributing their moral, financial and intellectual support to the advancement of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a cause which they are willing to make the supreme sacrifice for if called upon to do so. Negroes Everywhere Exercising Independent Thought The masses of Negroes are learning to analyze and decide for themselves just where their interest lies. After having had a thorough schooling through the Universal mass meetings and THE NEGRO WORLD on men, measures, governments, sociology and human society, it has proven to be a very hard task for the enemy and the critio to hoodwink the loyal membership of this great movement, because of the rising tide of intelligence among the Negro peoples of the world as a result of the training they have received through the propaganda and philosophy of the Carvay Movement. Overseeing a Great Handicap One of the darkest curses that have fallen on the Negro is his being shut JAMES H THEODORE. Toronto, Canada. By J. JACKSON TILFORD THE MELODY VALUABLE DOCUMENTS LOST TO THE RACE The Anderson Art Gallery, Fifty-ninth street and Jark avenue, at public auction lasting four days, sold to a white purchaser the Life and Adventures of Zambi," an African King who was brought to this country and sold as a slave. The book was published in South Carolina in 1847. Also to a white buyer went several first editions of Phyllis Wheatley's poems, "Narrative of James Williams," with an introduction by Whittier, a first edition of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "Memoirs of Phyllis Wheatley" published in Boston, 1834. The only Negro who was present at the sale was George Young, proprietor of Young's Book Exchange, 135 W. 135th street, who in a statement to The Negro World deplored the fact that well-to-do Negroes are not taking an interest in the preservation of racial heirloom such as valuable old books, prints, etchings, photographs, etc. (With apology to the editor of The Negro Times and the literary editor of The Negro World) When two editors light With all their might And make a spectacle— Yeah' 'tis a miracle There did dawn a light That blinded our editors' sight. They wore a pair of spectacles And call the act With cunning tact A pack of physical miracles Did God create something— Something out of nothing Or nothing out of something" If you say 'yea' 'tis a miracle. If you say 'no' 'tis a miracle— A miracle o miracles. 'tis a miracle Is father the cause of son Or son of father? A great fun! Without mother a child was born. In clouds the maples bore a fine acorn. In sober sense if you forbear To laugh, tie a miracle I'll swear When our simple souls marvel: At our foolish wits we revel In a divine miracle We know not simple truths of nature, In blind darkness freely rapture— Our stupidity, a great miracle! EOGY OF THE NEGRO gence Among the Masses of les of the World BON TILFORD out of the wondrous world of modern thought. The great gates of the temple of Science, Political Economy, Economics and Government are clanged in his face, and his mind has been fed up on things spiritual by heological imperialists, and in the schools and press he has been fed up on white psychology and denied Negro history narrating the glories of his forefathers, and this killed much of his imagination, his incentive to aspire, and crushed much of his ambition. Millions of Negroes have now discarded this curse and thrown off that white psychology, and have accepted those great truths expounded by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which contains the gorm of real freedom, self-determination and African redemption, and are waging an uncompromising and an unyielding fight under a new leadership, with a new psychology, a Negro culture and a rising tide of mass intelligence, and the goal is not far distant, the real freedom of a great people and the total redemption of a mother country SIMON OF CYRENE The path that leads to Calvary The footprints bear of sable feet. The wind hath blown the dust away That bore their stamp in that retreat. But history cries out, and lo' Where trod those faithful feet and black His heaving breast tells of his woe As on his back he bears the Cross That means redemption here below, Hope of the saint, the sinner's loss. And in its shadow oft I steal When sorrowing sun of life is high. And I can feel him lift the weig t That burdens me when he goes by. Ah, great his grief that fatal day! He knew not why it should be so; But we who bear his sable hue Gave through the ages, and we know. For we who bear the captive's cross To Simon lift our weeping eyes, And fancy that he hears our groans, A scattered nation's pleas and sighs. We know not why it should be so; But when the crucifixion's o'er The meaning of it all we'll know. And why the captive's cross we bore. .ETHEL TREW DUNLAP. 1807 Allison Ave. Los Angeles, Cal.

Black and the Cree not on our side the year 1922-23 but on our side the time. The present principal consideration is our engagement with the Genoa Conference and the political amalgamation of the Negro Nation and the subsistence of these sable souls. It is our goal to go down in history so that a yet unborn should all be blessed. But there is no need yet an important part in us to play for the good. Nor shall it be strong enough to weaken Link Remember, it is our program to be put in the program God gave us a mission to Marus to serve us and pass on to us and to the consciousness of others and determine Negroes have pledged themselves to this mission and to the property of the 400,000 Negroes of the world The truth is that the African is crossed and we are torn back During the war, we lost millions of the lives in the hands of our race from the slaves in Marus (Garry) Must go This was a miraculous propaganda material to blaze the minds of the legates to the Third International conference our good friends had attended and so relegated to the pharaohs.

By this short letter I wish to inform you and all members of this worldwide movement of Negroes that the Bates Division is still alive. Every true and loyal officer and member is putting forth splendid efforts to the cool that No. 52 remain the model division of this republic. Right now there is a two-fold drive on, one is to supply the division with a band which has already eight pieces engineered by the Universal African Legion, whose officers are Major J U Evans, Captain Vivian Cleghorn Lieutenant and Adjutant Andrews Quarter Master R G Murray and second Lieutenant Aarons, getting band master. The other drive is the Genoa delegate fund. Taking into consideration the stiff times through which we are passing I think the membership is doing fairly well. On the list of August's monster parade and gala day was pulled off. At 2 a.m. the order 'quick march' was given by the acting president, who was in command, and wore the uniform of the officers of the legion The U A L. under Major Evans, motor corps, under Captain Eva Campbell Black Cross nurses, led by their president Mrs. Muggle Lewis, the Boy Scouts, all in uniform, made a spectacle never to be forgotten.

Chaplain-Acting President Banes Division U N I A COMMISSIONER SMYERS PUSHING THINGS IN THE NEW ORLEANS, LA., DIV. New Orleans Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is alive and full of enthusiasm, our Liberty Hall is packed at every meeting, members are joining by the hundred, delinquent members are paying up, some paying six to twelve months back dues the offerings on meeting night rang from $25 to $50 The president has been suspended. This great ship has cast over a Jonah, the sea of dissatisfaction has been calmed and we are now sailing on to success. Commissioner Smyers is on the job and the executive secretary, Mr William Phillips, is a live wire which has caught a fresh ignition from the great dynamo, the Garvey Movement. The New Orleans Division has analyzed the Commissioner and the executive secretary and our decision is they are the right men in the right place On Sunday night October 8, we held a mass meeting. We had a fine program and such a meeting of determined people we have never had since the Hoon Mr Garvey was with us. Among the many good items on our program were addresses by Mrs Lilian Hall and Mr William Phillips, the Executive Secretary, Mr Phillips, in his forebite argument referring to J W. H Eason, who is holding meetings in this city to tell the truth about the Garvey Movement (2) quoted Mr. Eason's remarks when he spoke on our platform last May. When the person was getting paid by the Universal Negro Improvement Association he said it was the greatest thing in the world for Negroes, and he wanted his bones to be taken to Africa to rest in the soil of his motherland, but since we have cut off that salary he is saving the Back-to-Africa movement is a wild scheme and he will now tell the truth about the movement. A man who will come to us at one time and for a salary, we have no answer since that he is not telling a bigger he now for a larger salary. A man who can contract himself any time he wants to is a dangerous character and we have no respect for him. Commissioner Smyers also spoke and in his forcible manner he opened up to us a great reservoir of logical and constructive plans for the success and triumph of the New Orleans Displa- He is going to increase the membership of the New Orleans Division to 5,000 in short order. The speaker made us see what Mr Garvey saw in his dream of a government of our own. The Negro's psychology must be changed. Commissioner Smyers is not concerned about the enemies and the orios who have never done anything. We are glad however that Mr Eason has come to New Orleans for we are made to see those among us who are disloyal. LLEWELYN MANN A BAPTIST MINISTER ON THE GARVEY MOVEMENT Negro World Publishing Company. New York City, N. Y Dear Gentlemen: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say just a few things about the great movement which you are advocating. First, I am a Gospel minister pastor of the Second Baptist Church in my city. I am also a student in Southwestern University, which is located here. I used to think that maybe Mr. Garvey was wrong, even though he is earnest in his endeavor to lift the race to a higher plane, and that it is only "imagination" or he might be experiencing an hallucination in thinking that the other race is giving our group any serious consideration, while the Negro leaders sleep on most contentedly; but after three years of study on the various phases of the sociological questions, I have come to the conclusion that, in spite of all that our great men may say about the matter why, in my op'nion, Mr. Garvey is right in his various contentions, and his is the only racial uplift program that will solve this very perplexing problem of races. From now on I am in the wagon, tooting a back to Africa "horn" or any other "horn" which will mean the development of a strong Negro nationality. Hersain you will find $125. Please send me the Negro World. IMMENSE THRONG IN WARD'S THEATRE. KINGSTON, JAMAICA, GREETS HIGH COMMISSIONER HON.

A. had a monster reception and concert at Ward's Theatre in honor and respect of the Hon. Charles Bryant, High Commissioner for Central America and Panama. On his way to take up his duties he visited Jamaica and gave a stirring address in the hall, having as his subject the question, 'What Shall Your Answer Be?' After clearing up his subject twelve new members were enlisted and many backsliders came in. During his short stay we prepared a program, and on Sunday night, October 8, the entertainment came off. The public had only a short notice yet before the doors were opened hundreds of people gathered around the theatre specially to hear our worthy gentleman, whom we styled as the 'Silver-Tongued Orator'. The following officers were present Rev B. H Jones, president, Dr Bruce Forbes, executive secretary, Leo Grant, treasurer, I. C Fraser, first vice-president, J. W. Allen, second vice-president, S. A. McFarlane, general secretary; Miss Eva Aldred, lady president; Miss Clarke, second lady president, and Miss Ada Hyat, first lady vice-president. The Legion, Black Cross Nurses and Girl Guides, dressed in their full uniform, were on duty from start to finish. The Legion, under Major J. W Beliahy, performed their duties quite orderly. Among the other members of the staff were Lieuts. S M Browne, C. A. Taylor, Chaplain S. Dixon. At 120 p. m. the meeting began by singing the opening hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," while the Legion, Nurses and Guides marched around to the platform. The chairman, Rev S H Jones, gave the prayers from the ritual, while all listened attentively. Following, the U N I A. band gave a special selection. The chiefman opened the meeting with an enthusiastic address, thanking the audience for their large gathering and slating that he did not believe that there were so many sympathizers of the world wide organization. He explained to the audience how the organization has spread its wings to the four corners of the globe and it has put the world to thinking. He referred to the conditions which we have to undergo in Jamaica, mentioning the starving wages and color question which are existing at present. He dwelt considerably on the wages which we work for per week and showed the audience that the U.N.A. is the only organization to better those conditions. He further stated the U.N. I. A has made a change in Kingston and that it is going to launch a power in this island like that of a thunderbolt (Great applause) Continuing he told the audience how the Negro is demanding respect from all other races and how they will have to bow at the feet of the Hon. Marcus Garvey (Loud applause) The chairman closed his address, and all were anxious to hear the Commissioner, and the program continued. A piano solo entitled 'One God, One Aim, One Destiny,' was rendered by Mr J Williams, at the close of which the audience called for an encore. Following, Miss Stirling recited a recitation entitled "Behold the Star in the East, the deathy of 400,000,000 Negroes." The audience was greatly pleased with the manner in which this recitation was rendered. All praise was given to Miss Stirling. The band then gave a selection, followed by a solo by Miss F. Brown founded by a vote of Anne P. Brown The Executive Secretary then addressed the audience in such a manner that all outsiders began to think. He greeted all officials, members and visitors of the Branch, telling the audience that they were not there to see a Commissioner nor to hear a Com- missioner speak, but to hear a Negro speak—a Negro who has had the vision of Garveyism. He introduced the High Commissioner to the audience, telling them that the Hon. Charles Bryant, a Jamaica Negro, has labored and is now granted the position of High Commissioner for Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama, and we as Negroes must learn to honor Negroes. The Secretary's address is a lesson for all to learn. After his conclusion a solo was rendered by Mr. Morrison, entitled The Lord is Risen. It was splendidly rendered and was cheered by all. Following this Miss B. Forbes gave a solo entitled "Don't Turn Mo Away." This is looked upon as one of the best ever rendered in Kingston. The chairman, before calling on the High Commissioner, read his credentials to the audience. The Hon. Charles Bryant was introduced by Rev S. M. Jones, and then his lengthy introduction began. He asked the audience if they ever heard of Negroes attaining such positions before. The whole audience answered "Not before." Proceeding, he said that the Negroes now demand recognition and respect from every other race. His subject was "It Behooves No Man to Court Despair." He showed how the Englishman claims England as his home, the Frenchman France, the German Germany and the American America, etc., and the Negroes are claiming Africa as their home. He said that the time has come when the Negroes are claiming Africa as their motherland and future home. He showed what other governments have done in favor of the convention, especially how the Negroes were represented by the mayor of New York. He told the audience of the grand procession which was held in New York at the convention during the month of August this year. The High Commissioner, speaking of expected war, told the audience how the white man has taken the Negroes from time to time to fight for their white democracy. He said that the new Negroes are determined now to follow what the President-General has said, namely, that the Negroes must go on a strike to demand the goods or the cash in advance, should the war start. Comming on the delegates to the League of Nations, he said that the Negroes have caused the great powers of Europe and Asia to consider differently from the past, naming our delegates. He spoke of the might of the organization, inasmuch as during the four and a half years since it was founded we have succeeded in uniting 6,500,000 Negroes, greater than any other organization, but he still asked, "What are the others doing?" He asked us as men to look after the welfare of our women, for a race depends on its womanhood. He went so far as to tell us how the Negroes in Costa Rica are learning the Negro history in their schools which is allowed by the government chiefly because the Negroes played such a gigantic part in some of the country's affairs some years ago. He concluded his address by encouraging every Negro to stick to the U N I A, no matter what hindrances appear. After the chairman, Rev B M Jones, made a few remarks the meeting came to a close with the singing of our national anthem. On the following Monday night he visited the mass meeting at the hall and gave another stirring address, at which time he installed. Rev B M Jones as President and read the oath that is laid down in the constitution. He again pointed out to the audience the great war clouds that hang over Europe, and besought them to stick to the Red, Black and Green. We are exceedingly sorry for his quick departure, but where duty calls we must obey, hoping he will pay us another visit on his way to the next convention, as he promised. THEOPHILUS BEECHER.

OCCUPATION OF SANTO DOMINGO BROUGHT TO END Provisional Government by Islanders Will Be Set Up Soon if Proclamation Is Ratified—Burgos May Be President—Rear Admiral Robison Issues Decree; Withdrawal of Marines to Begin at Once WASHINGTON Oct 20 The State Department made public today plans for the evacuation of the Dominican Republic by American military forces and announced that a proclamation has been formally agreed to by which a provisional government would be established. According to the terms of the proclamation, which has just been issued at Santo Domingo by Rear Admiral Samuel B. Robinson, military governor of the republic, the withdrawal of American marines will begin as soon as the provisional president has ratified the executive orders and laws of the American administration in the island. The announcement said the provisional government would be headed by Nenor Juan Batista Vicini-Burgos and Cabinet officers selected in accordance with the plan of evacuation. It was specifically provided that President Burgoa, in taking the oath of office, could bind himself to enforce the plan of evacuation agreed upon abide by the regulations and conditions placed upon the exercise of the provisional government by the commission which agreed to the plan of evacuation, and do all in his power to further the re-establishment of constitutional normality and the restoration of a constitutional government the proclamation follows, in part. Now, therefore, I. Samuel S. Robinson, Rear Admiral, United State Navy military governor of the Dominican Republic, acting under the authority and by direction of the government of the United States, declare and announce to all concerned, in accordance with the provisions of Article I of the said plan of evacuation, that, on October 21, 1922, there will be installed a provisional government of the Dominican Republic for the purpose of promulgating legislation to regulate the holding of elections, to provide for the reorganization of the provincial and municipal governments and to enable the Dominican people to make such amendments to the constitution as they may deem appropriate, and hold general elections without the intervention of military government; and this provisional government will order such further powers and duties as are specified in the plan of evacuation. The provisional government of the Dominican Republic will assume, from the date of its installation, administrative powers to carry out freely the uforesaid purposes, and the said provisional government from that date will alone be responsible for its acts. The American military government has been in the Dominican Republic for seven years, marines first landing because of disorders. GREETINGS TO SIQUIRRES, COSTA RICA. DIVISION GREETINGS TO SIQUIRRES, COSTA RICA. DIVISION --- October 7, 1922. To the Sibiquirres, Madro-de-Dios, Cedar Creek, Germania and Cairo Divisions, U. N. I. A., Costa Rica, C. A. Dear Friends and Fellow Negroes On the eve of my departure from New York, coming back to you, I take this opportunity of urging upon you, as well as upon all members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and all Negroes in all parts of the world, the urgent necessity of us Negroes standing together as we never have done before, so that we may be able, in the days that are ahead of us, to achieve the things upon which we have set our hearts, and to which we have dedicated our lives. Now that the Third International Convention of the Negro People of the World has passed into history, it remains for us to set ourselves to the tasks confronting us in a fearless, upright, brave, manly fashion, truckling to no man, fearing no foe, but living our lives in God's own appointed way. We shall have to banish from our hearts malice, envy, jealousy, hate, fear, doubt, and every other sort of hindrance and hardship, which would keep up from attaining to the place to which we are aspiring, and so deport ourselves that we shall be able not only to convince all creation that indeed the Negro is God's man, but be able to make all mankind know and feel that we do not intend to be any more mere drifters on the sea of chance, tossed about by every wind of adversity, but that we have set out on the pathway of achievement, and intend to earn for ourselves and our posterity our rightful place among the sons of men. This does not mean that we of the Negro race must assume an offensive attitude, or go running around with chippe on our shoulders, butting into other people's business, or otherwise rendering ourselves obnoxious by any of our activities, but it does mean that we must shape our courses like heroic in the midst of men, like a race of stout swolls who know what they want, and will use every righteous endeavor to attain it. It means that nothing on earth or in hell, for that matter, must be allowed to turn us from the goal we have set out to attain, finds the purpose, to which we have dedicated our souls. We must, by our learning in this world, show to the definite of the children of God that we have a race of men who know how their destiny applies for the liberty willing to go forth to the great advent This is what it Universal Negro Improvement Association expects of us. This is what the world expects of ever true-hearted son of Ham. This is what the Divine Creator of the universe expects of the creatures of His hand, and we must not come short of that expectation we Negroes must not fail. The time is at hand when everyone of us must do the best we can for the unhersing in of the era of prophecy and attainment for the future in every avenue of human achievement therefore let us get busy. Let us dig deep down into the heart of things, delineate ourselves of all petty bindrances, and thus hasten the coming of the day when the Negro shall set up for him self in the land of his fathera a government that will win the respect and admiration of the world. Henceforth, for us it is 'forward'. In a few short days I shall be with you and again linking forces we shall set ourselves to the task as we have never done our share in that we, too, shall contribute our share in the carrying out of the great program which is set before the race in its high endeavor. With beat wishes for a great and glorious future, I have the honor to remain, yours for the freedom of the race and the redemption of the fatherland MORON, CUBA, DIV. NO. 374 CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY On September 24 quite an enjoyable time was spent in our Liberty Hall, when an unusual gathering assembled to celebrate the second anniversary of this division. The Moron Choral Union, under the directorship of Mr J A. Todd, enthused the audience with some of Lorena's brilliant anthems. Others who contributed to the program were Misses McLarine, Obborne, Griffith, Palmer, and Eursil Todd with some very appropriate recitations. Representatives Jones from Mount Olive Lodge No. 2, G. B. & D. of R., and T. B. Heid, from Pearl of Moron Lodge, U. L O. M. No. 20, brought greetings and words of encouragement combined with expressions of sympathy. The chairman, Mr. R. C. Rusnell, and Mr. D. H. Campbell, second vice-president, addressed the audience in extension. The year's report was read by the executive secretary, Mr. J A Todd, and follows "To the officers and members of the Nixon Division, No 374—It is my pleasant duty to report to you the work that has been done for the past year and the financial condition of same. In the month of November our president, Mr. F. A. Ogilvie, and Mr. J H Buckland, chaplain, resigned. On the 16th of the same month Mr. J B Duff, president, and Mr. Muthlaa McCatty, chaplain, were elected." Several entertainments were pulled of with favorable and unfavorable results. Among those of note were a silver tree December 25, a ladies' exhibition in February, a popularity contest in April, et cetera. Our lady, president, Mrs. C. E. Burrowes, severed connection with the division in July. Our president went to Jamaica in August in search of medical aid. We raised approximately $229, $340 of which was paid for rent, $60 for janitor service, $279 for miscellaneous expenses, charity included A Sunday school is being superintended by Mr G L. Claypole and a night school is in good working style We own a typewriter which cost $25 and some minor accessories, all of which must be accredited to the uniting and social ability of Acting President R. C. Russell. My ledger records the names of 116 members, 72 of whom are financial. This is quite a poor showing for such a large community, but I can safely say this is not the fault of the present administration. It has long been our will and pleasure to have the entire community of Moron liked up with this great chain which will ultimately stretch around the world, but in the face of much disgust, discouragement, ridicule and contempt we are yet able to greet you in our Liberty Hall.

Sir—I received your communication of September 26, bearing answer to my request in connection with my recent order and the inquiry of an order during the past administration. There is hope in their forthcoming, and I shall endeavor to do my best to straighten the matter up. Not the amount of $3 credit due this division on my last order, you can be good enough to send me 1,000 sheets of stationery in bill head form with the name of the Moron Division No. $74 printed thereon, and whatever the difference may be you can let me know. There will still be a balance of $3 and some cents due us from that order of May 5 for the 50 buttons and 50 certificates, as the amount sent was $9. Thanking you for your prompt attention, I have the honor to be your obsequious servant. JOSEPH A. TODD, THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 KANSAH CITY Sept. 28 - Tonight we meet on a very vital issue to discuss and conclude on a permanent meeting place for Division 318. After a very peaceful and agreeable discussion we agreed to make preparations to purchase a piece of ground, improved or unimproved, to have our Liberty Hall so we can quit moving from place to place. A committee was appointed to investigate a prospective site which is already partly improved. Lyric Hall was engaged to have our convention report to our delegate unfold. We will have a joint report on Sunflower Division of Kansas City. Kan will have there also, and a good program is in store for those who will be present. We of Division 318, Kansas City, Mo. believe that close to the thorny grow roses, so every effort will be doubled to give 318 a Liberty Hall at the very own. Thanking you for space. I am GEO THOMAS 1635 E 11th S. care of W M Holmes Kansas City, Mo By DR. WALTER S. HANNA For the last six months since its organization Chapter 47 has lived through laborious days until now she has taken the place as one of the foremost assistants of Gavinry in the laboratory* of the U.N.L.A in helping to apply the most potent "reagent"—Hace "unity" to the present day problems of Negroes throughout the world. The urge of Gavinry has found itself crystallized in the fine constructive work and co-operative efforts of this branch, including the once tangled problems of Philadelphia to a more simple, workable and practical solution. Indeed, work and forethought, not wizardry, have been the secret of its present achievement This fact proved itself in one of the most recent evidences of the chapter's remarkable progress, when on Tuesday, October 10, 1922, the local U.N.I.A. received its most recent surprise when "47" moved into and took possession of its new headquarters at 809 South Beverenteenth street, one of the most desirable sites in South Philadelphia. Indeed, this is heralded as a significant step, marking the half an anniversary of the successful utilization on a large scale of its chapter rights as a divisional unit. The possession of the key to this property, today a reality, is symbolic of the solid foundation upon which this unit stands, of the fact that it stands today upon the threshold which leads to greater achievement in the future, and of which the entire Universal Negro Improvement Association may justly feel proud. As a concrete achievement it must provide a source of inspiration to the general membership, telling them they are human factors who, by united cooperative effort, little patience and foreseen conquer in the future what today seems the impossible. In the last analysis, what are the various divisional units of the U.N.I.A. but numerous enterprises for achieving the economic, industrial and political independence of Negroes everywhere, for finding some practical solution for caring the Negro's burden of existence and sweetening his savior of living the one grand process in working out his own death. The U.N.I.A. as a collective whole, with its comprehensive program for African redemption, is proving itself a veritable Aladdin's lamp, whose innumerable genius serving the daily needs and changing moods of millions of Negroes. Indeed, the Philadelphia Chapter, with its loyal membership, has a true conception of its appointed task in helping to make that part of the planet which lies between the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and Mediterranean and Red Sea a fit habitat for an advancing black coexistence The writer takes this opportunity to announce, through the Editor, that he is contributing next week a special article on "The World Significance of the Third Annual International Convention." LOYAL MEMBER OF TAMPICO DIVISION PASSES AWAY With very deep regret we announce the death of Mrs. Kellium Jackson, of Tampico Division No. 525 Mrs. Jackson, a true-hearted active member aged 28 years, came to this country nine months ago from Cuba, where she was a member. On her arrival she was married. On September 1 she gave birth to a baby boy September 15, after a severe illness, she was called away by the angel of death, leaving her husband and fifteen-day-old baby to mourn her death. The baby is under the care of Mrs. A. B. Paisly, mother. The burial took place September 16 at 4 p. m. The funeral procession formed at the home of the deceased, which was headed by the chaplain, J. H. Palaly, who was neatly dressed in his robes, and marched to the cemetery, where the ceremony was solemnly performed by him. A large gathering of members of the division and sympathizers were in attendance. UJ M. L. A., Templeico Division. HOWARD UNIV. BEGINS ACADEMIC YEAR WITH RECORD ENTRANCE CLASS WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18 — Howard University began its academic year Monday, October 7 with the largest entering class on its collegiate department ever registered in a university specializing in the training of young colored men and women. There is an increase of approximately 2 percent in the number of applications for admission and nearly two applicants were granted permission to register for freshmen. A marked trend is noted in the large number of students entering the university with advanced standing. This is partly counted for by the new rating in the Howard University to last year when its collegiate department was placed on the approved list of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. According to the estimate of the Registrar of the university more than 1,000 students will be registered in the collegiate department for the first quarter of the present school year. Dormitories Crowded Despite the fact that many of the terms in the university dormitories were released by students who howeve side at the various trinity and university houses at the university, very dormitory on the university grounds filled to capacity and demands are being made for additional space. President Counsels Students Dr J Stanley Durke, president of the University, welcomed the students at the first chapel exercise and in an address counsel them regarding the tasks of the nursing school year. "The college year 1922-23 opens as a pleasously not only for our own Howard University, but for America as a whole. Dr Durke said, 'Langer numbers of students than ever before are crowding up to the sources of intellectual light, and home moral and spiritual guidance. A greater appreciation of the value of trained minds and hearts possessed the youth of our land in a republic like ours the only hope for permanency in progress stability in shifting opinions and newly evolving theories and constantly greater liberty and freedom in a government with a written and respected Constitution lies in an intellectually trained and morally sound student. The permanency of American students is of the growing expanding nation rests on these cornerstones. "To before, every school and college in the land must teach more as well as secrecy. You have your personal problems" he continued, "of our racial problems which threaten your mind and heart, sometimes almost to behold endurance. As you develop the inner appreciations of life, these problems will more and more test your耐寒 and strain your faith." Collegiate Activities Begin With registration practically complete for the college department and the professional schools, the regular student activities have begun. The various classes and student organizations have held their first meeting on the count of the large enrollment for all of the student societies the great interest in membership. The weekly prayer meeting held during the school year every Wednesday commenced with its first meeting on October 6. The initial meeting of the Chi Rho Sigma Society is dedicated to organized at Howard last year by Dr. St. Ilmo Björk, the professor of chemistry, was held in the Thinking Science Hall Monday evening to October 9. The Kappa Sigma Debating Society held its first meeting Thursday evening to October 12 in the library hall, having as its first debating subject involved the mixed school is better than the separate school for thecolored student. The student body of the Y. M. A. held its annual reception to the new students of the university in the new dining hall Friday evening to October 13. Registration in the Law School A notable feature of the registration this year in the Howard University School of Law is the increase in the percentage of matriculants who have completed from one to four years of work of standard college grade. Howard University leads in the number of students entering the School of Law who make up this group who have had college training, but other colleges are well represented by matriculants, including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Pink and Morris Brown. The value of this type of student is not to be overlooked in light of the fact that Howard is already seeking by raising its standards to impress upon those desiring to take up the study of law the need of thorough preparation for such a profession. So for the registration at the School of Law this year is 600 students, including 29 Veterans' Bureau trainees. Last year on October 31 the registration was 154 students, including 54 Veterans' Bureau trainees. The leasing in the number of matriculants in the School of Law is due in part to the decrease in the number of Veterans Bureau trainees and the fact that the entrance requirements are being increased. Medical School Overcrowded The action of the board of Trustees of the university in requiring that all entering classes in the School of Medicine be limited to 50 students has resulted in the rejection of a large number of applicants. The entering classes in both the Medical and Dental Colleges have been filled to the limit and a large number of students are on the waiting list for any vacancy that may occur. To accommodate the enrollment in the Dental College it was necessary to make temporary additions to the Dental Infirmary to provide space for additional chairs and laboratory facilities. The continued overcrowding of the School of Medicine and the financiality of present facilities to accommodate the increased number of students applying each year for admission has heightened interest in the Howard University campaign to secure the $225,000 which topic was "Unity for Advance." He made a great heart-to-heart plea, earnestly calling upon all Negroes to put awaits petty feelings and enter the grand fold of the I N A A saying that the further they were from it the further were they also keeping from God. He was followed by the song, "On an Armor-Bearer," Mr. K Watson our president, how fine he is going a short address in his regular loud manner in reviewing and laying special emphasis on the very important point raised by the two past speakers. He then read some vital correspondence from the parent body, which was well received. There was also read "Mrs J Watson," only president, a letter from one of our members that is away from our community, asking us to hold on and assist our great leader, the Hon. Mat (Grace) in the past struggle. The next speaker was Hugh Ingram, a worldly trader who said he had some experience of the last war, and has not prepared to go to another except that of our Motherland Africa. He was followed by a dust singer Mrs J Watton, lady president and Mrs K Hansay, G S L D' which was highly appreciated. The next was a speech given by Mr U. Huston, chairman of the honorable advisory board M Hunty, secretary of the honorable advisory board, was the next speaker followed by Mr Lester. The president gave a short address.

Inter-Racial Congress Ends Session in Raleigh With Declaration — Not Social Equality—Want Equality in Courts and Schools By BROCK BARKLEY RALEIGH, N. C. Oct. 13—A Statewide sentiment demanding for the best man equity of opportunity with the white brother in the things which he as a human being is deserving was derailed by speakers at today's closing session of the North Carolina Inter-Racial Relations Conference the most important prerequisite to the effective betterment of race conditions. Not the social commingling of the race which is the first thought to strike the mind of the average white citizen when equality and the Negro is mentioned, but the same opportunity and chance in the things that go really to make life worth while, a chance for the Negro boy and girl in the school and a chance for the Negro family to live in the enjoyment of health protections and the like. A board of school commissioners should not pose consideration of Negro schools until it has built all its white schools, the city fathers should not look upon it as a waste of money to saving a few street lights in the Negro section and a good street should not be confined to the thoroughfares of the white region. This would be a rule of the traitorate.

FATHER OF THE HON. S. A. HAYNES DIES IN BRITISH HONDURAS Was Honored by Her Majesty the Late Queen Victoria Mr Samuel Edward Haynes father of the Hon. S. A. Haynes who was registrar in Convention now Commissioner for Maryland and Virginia, died at Beise, British Honduras, Central America, on October 18, 1922. The deceased served with distinction as a sergeant in the old West India regiment which fought so gallantly in the Ashanti Wars, British West Africa. He was decorated for valor at Kumasi by Her M jesty the late Queen Victoria, at Red Hill, England. When the regiment returned to Jamaica, B. W. L. the deceased, along with others, proceeded to British Honduras, Central America, and enlisted in the constabulary force. "Bergean Haynes," as he was familiar known to all, was a prominent figure in the celebration of historic occaessions, always occupying a place of honor at all military and civic functions. He was one of the oldest pen-solvers of the famous regiment. He labored hard to bring into existence the Belle Friendly Society, one of the most prosperous organizations of its kind in the city today, and was thrice selected secretary of the society. The deceased was a native of the island of Barbadoc, B. W. L., and father of thirteen children. He leaves nine of these and several grandchildren to mourn his loss. By R. T. BROWN In the midst of all the clamoring of the smaller peoples of the world for self determination and for the according of their rights, the voice of the awakened and enlightened Negro of the twentieth century is heard with unmistakable clearness, calling out for his rights and a recognition of his race as a factor to be considered in the settling of the affairs of the world henceforth. Look where you will, you can see that it is not the intention of these peoples to be regarded any longer as merely the under dogs of the human race, but that while God and heaven stand they are going to assert themselves in an unmistakable way Slav, Greek, Pole, Hungarian, Serb, Irish and Bulgar have had their rights recognized and have set up governments of their own which they are prepared to support with every drop of their lifeblood. The men of every nation look on and seem to feel that a great step forward has been taken in the onward march of the human race and the leading statesmen of the world seem to congratulate themselves and their colleagues for the ability to see the fatness which was excercised in the recognition of the claims of these people to self-determination. Yet the amazing thing about these statesmen who have been guilding the world with such soft and sweet-sounding statements as "The world must be made safe for democracy" and "Self-determination for smaller peoples is that they seem to intercept these declarations to mean 'Self-determination for smaller white peoples' and 'The world must be made safe for white democracy, for while they have latened with patience and care to the appeals of the Poles, Slavs, Serbs and other smaller groups of the they are exceptionally deaf dish when it comes to the appellation of the four hundred million of the Negro race scattered all over the world who form ten and even fifty a greater group of human souls than any of the small groups mentioned before. But the march of斗争 has changed the temperament of many people and those who in times past were willing to bow their necks in irritation and meekly endured the cross of depression which has been thrust upon them for forcing themselves, as an example, her nest, placing their rights and their demands therefor in lieu and unimplicit terms, preparing to soil the souls they have made with their lifeblood rather than any more to be the heirs of burden for those who hitherto held the whip hand. The voice of the Negro has stirred the hearts and minds of men, and it now holds their attention as it has done before. The Negro, too, is afraid of the needs of the life of the all round advancement of all the land and government are determined to win old hold their freedom and the right to when how and by whom they small government so too is the Negro prepared and the meaningful, omnious sounds which attract our attention from the universe where the son of Ham dwell are the earranging to be warning to their earranging to the death-knell of the longsuffering and the death-knell of the to which they have been subjected. They are calm in determination and stern of soul. They have their hearts upon freedom and mean to reach it or die in the attempt. They will never again how their necks in tribute, looking on, can see the steely glint in their eager earnest, determined eyes. The race of Negroes have caught the vision, the infection of the spirit of the age, and are looking hopefully forward to the day when they will be able to bask under the protecting hand of a strong and masterly respect-commanding government of their own in their fatherland, a government so strong that when the rights of the Negro are trampled upon in any part of the world they will have some power to see that the wrongs so done are redressed. For this time they are eagerly looking, and out of the depths of their souls they are sending forth their earnest cries to all mankind to be true and just and fair. Out of the largeness of his heart the Negro is willing to forgive his erstwhile oppressors and to forget and forgive the wrongs and injustices which have been heaped upon him through centuries, but he has steeled his heart and set his face against every form of oppression, no matter from what quarter of the globe that oppression comes. Henceforth for him it is going to be freedom or death, for this is the spirit of the age. This twentieth century, more than any other, in the age of advancement the age when men of every creed and color are coming into their own, the age of progress and prosperity, the age of daring and achievement, the age when the souls of oppressed peoples are being expressed as they have never been expressed before, and out of the midst of all this progress and advancement and daring and achievement we find that the Negro is standing prominently forward among the hitherto oppressed peoples. Men of vision, men who can sense the spirit of the age and who can see beneath the surface and heed the signs of the times, can understand the meaning of all the restlessness and preparation on the part of this mighty race of Negroes, which has thus far been ready and willing, to fight the battles of all the other peoples of the world except his own, and understand that he is now getting ready for the dawning of the day when all of his forces shall have been marshalled. Then will strikes for his own complete freedom, for he has also THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 caught the infection of the spirit of this age of self-determination. this age of self-determination. Some of those who have long deceived mankind are crying "Peace, peace," and making frantic efforts for a false show of peace and tranquility all over the world, but their efforts are unavailing, and always and ever they can hear the voice of the Negro peoples of the world saying, "There shall be no peace on earth till the race of Negroes is truly free and Africa is redeemed." The false hopes raised in the breasts of the scheming statesmen of Europe die before they can even spring up to view, and they come face to face, with the stern reality of a race that is marshalling all of its forces, its talents and its resources for the shaping of their destiny according to the dictates of their own mind, as the God of the universe has given them the vision. Four hundred million cagers, anxious cannot souls raise their hands on high and lift up their voices to heaven, saying that since we, too have caught the vision and have been inspired with the desire for freedom and advancement, we shall step out in the highway of progress marching on till victory is won. HOWARD ELEVEN DOWNS VIRGINIA SEMINARY IN INITIAL GRIDIRON GAME HOWARD ELEVEN DOWNS VIRGINIA SEMINARY IN INITIAL GRIDIRON GAME WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18 — Howard University wins in initial football game of the season against Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va., by a score of 6 to 0. A large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed the game, as much interest is being centered in the 'blue and white' eleven, which is to meet Lincoln University on Thanksgiving Day in the football class of the year, to be played at the American League Park, Washington, D.C. Howard secured its score in the second quarter after getting far down into the Theolog's territory by blocking a kick which was recovered by a Howard man and followed by a couple of line plunges and the use of a short forward pass for a touch down. A forward pass was attempted for the extra point, but the effort failed. In the third and fourth quarters Howard kept in the territory of the Theology and a number of times threatened their goal. The plucky Virginia fought hard and held the white and blue clash from scoring again during the game. While the first games results were not as oneided as was expected by the Howard supporters, none the less confidence is expressed in the belief that the Howard warriors will be successful throughout the season.

As an argument in defense of British policy in the Near East the best that can be said for it is that the Prime Minister defended his choice of the lesser of two evils by an adroit and classed appeal to the non conformist conscience with a quirky reckless disregard of the effect of his words outside of England. But as politics in the complicated maneuver for position the speech is interesting and important. It followed, we must remember, the address of his colleague Austen Chamberlain to the Conservatives. The two addresses might almost be said to have been spoken from the same notes, and with the same argument about the Near East in their hands the two speakers stood back to back and met the attacks on two fronts against the Coalition. Mr. Chamberlain met the diehard attack. Mr Lloyd George met the independent Liberal attack. Mr. Chamberlain's method was to use the threat of the Labor Party to frighten the Conservatives. He let them see that the Conservatives alone could not govern and that if there was no coalition with Lloyd George a new coalition was bound to form, composed of Labor and Liberalism. Mr. Lloyd George's method was a violent offensive against the Liberal leaders, aimed to discredit them so that he could enter the deal for a new election with the Liberal leadership in his control. Where Mr. Chamberlain had appealed to fear as a whip against the die-hard Tories, the Prime Minister used devastating ridicule against the die-hard Liberals. The Lloyd George and Chamberlain combination has for the present certain distinct advantages. Like Germany in the war, it lights on interior lines against a scattered enemy who has no unity of command. Soon or late the Coalition will break down under the accumulating odds against it, but it is a safe guess that its downfall will not from the attacks on the various oppositions but from a revolt within the Coalition. The thing to watch is not what Mr. Asquith or Lrd Grey or Lord Robert Cecil says but what happens to Mr Austin Chamberlain's leadership of the Conservative. That is, that Mr Lloyd George is watching a sudden call for a general election would probably mean that he had decided to strike before a Conservative revolt against Chamberlain had matured. A delayed election would probably mean that within the Coalition harmony had prevailed—New York World. LLOYD GEORGE RESIGNS It could hardly have happened better for Mr Lloyd George. Because of the vote of the Conservative party, deciding to withdraw from the Coalition, it is the Conservative party which must worry along with what remains of the unhappy and discredited Parliament of 1918. Mr Lloyd George, on the other hand, can enter the next general election not as a public official on the defensive but as the aggressive leader of the opposition. This is his proper and most successful and most dangerous role. He has thrown off the burden of Europe at a time when he could no longer carry it and has placed it upon shoulders far weaker than his own. In a time when no English party is a majority party he has been able by a turn of events to put the strongest minority party into a position of power and responsibility whose its every internal weakness must be revealed. Instead, therefore, of having to fight the next election isply on the basis of what was bad in the Coalition Government he is able to bring to the country a realization of what a Conservative Government is actually like. He recovers the immense political advantage of being able to attack. He forces on his opponents the immense disadvantage of having to defend. Thus there ends in a great strategic maneuver one of the most significant governments in English history. It carried on a victorious war. It helped write the peace. Those two facts will make it memorable always for good or evil or for both good and evil. It lived so long, it lived through such immense excitement, it touched so many enormous issues, it has been the focus of so much hate and so much admiration, it has been so brilliant and so blundering, so resolute and so vacillating. That it defies any general and simple judgment at the end. It was based on a union of discordant elements. It moved in a domestic and in a world situation in which all the familiar landmarks had been swept away. It was, therefore, a government of improvisation, turning swiftly one way and then another with the tides of opinion among the rocks of circumstances. Never before have human beings in public office dealt with such swift and cataclysmic, such unpredictable and such confused facts. Not even the basis of their own power was certain. And therefore almost every great decision had to be bent and twisted not only according to a very fallible human judgment of the facts abroad but according to the equally Cured Her Rheumatism Knowing from terrible experience చేతుకరణ్‌을 쓰고 떠나는 멋진 희망이야.

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. All persons having complaints to make against any department, officer or employee of the Organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P.

The faults of the Lloyd George government lie on the surface for all men to see. They are plain as a pikistask. They glare at you. They shout at you. They are excavable and indefensible. But for the present at least they must be judge* in what perspective we can obtain, and in that perspective, in the perspective of other governments for example, it becomes impossible to condemn easily. After all Lloyd George in politics has been and still is a manifestation of which the ordinary rules of politics as we learned them before 1914 throw very little light - New York World. A BROOKLYN BRIDGE By HAMILTON WRIGHT "By HAMILTON WRIGHT Long before Colonel Roebling built the Brooklyn Bridge, the savages of Africa were successful in making suspension bridges of creepers over large rivers. Here is the original Brook in Bridge,' declared the professor with a great show of learning. In the Kamerunus, that part of West Africa formerly in possession of the Germans, but now under French rule, Jack and Jill had come upon a suspension bridge made by the natives over a steaming tropical river The bridge was entirely made up of creepers which abound throughout the dense forest. Four large cables of creepers were fastened to the trunks of trees, one pair about four feet higher than the other. To these cables were secured other creepers from the tops of the oftest trees on each side of the stream, while horizontal guys presented the bridge from awaying about. Arrows the lower pair of cables ticks were laid to form a runway. These were lashed in their places and wattled in with creepers, while a large network of creepers connected the upper and lower tables on each side of the bridge. "It must take an awful long time to build this" Jill said. "No indeed, lady. With all the materials of our turret and our armor knives we can make one quickly, said the native guide—Brooklyn Lally Eagle. A SAMUEL ADAMS DAY On Wednesday falls the 200th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Adams. Gov. Cox in a proclamation calls upon all citizens of Massachusetts to recognize the day by the unfurling of flags, both State and national and by gatherings in spots made historical by association with the great patriot of revolutionary Boston. The people of all the States well may join, in thought at least, with those of the Bay State in observance of the Wednesday occasion Samuel Adams, according to the word of Gov Cox, was a sentinel for liberty. It means more to say that Adams was a radical for liberty. Back in his Harvard days he chose for his thesis for a degree the proposition "Whether it be lawful to resist the Supreme Magistrate if the Commonwealth cannot otherwise be preserved," and he took up the affirmative with the full weight of conviction. Years later, when pressing for the Declaration he said "I should advise persisting in our struggle for liberty though it were revealed from heaven that 999 were to perish and one out of 1,000 were to survive and retain his liberty." A progressive in the politics of his day, Adams was a conservative in religion. He was as Leut. Gov Hutchison testified to the British Government, "of such an obstinate and inflexible disposition that no gift nor office would ever conciliate him." He was a man for his times and his country. He helped to mould the town meeting he sounded one of the earliest calls to revolt, he signed the Declaration, he was one of the framers of the Constitution. He was alive and alert wherever duty and love of liberty called him. In the lack of leaders of his type in the peril of American government today - N. Y. World. Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa-All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa.

For quite a while enmies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr Garvey. Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr Garvey. They have organised opposition meetings in different centres under the capa- tion, "Garvey Must Go."

CALL AT "SQUARE DEAL" EMPLOYMENT AGENCY 124 West 131st Street THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 La Vergüienza de los chamientos Durante el debate del proyecto de ley contra los linhamientos en la camara de representantes mas de uno de los miembros de ella procedente de los estados del sur declarado que esas entidades harian frente al problema resueltamente si siquiera se les deje en libertad. Se esperaba en verdad, que la discussion por si misma podria producir un nuevo aspecto más ligico en la situación e induir al gobierno y a los jefes de policía a ser más resueltos y energicos en la defensa de hombres y mujeres a quienes amenacen los linhadores. En algunos estados podria haberse obtenido tal resultado. Es un signo alentador la organización de una mihuña femenil para detener la continuación de los linhamientos en los Estados Unidos, tomando parte en esa organización directores procedentes de todos los estados. Y sin embargo, mensualmente se informan nuevos linhamientos, que constituyen una vergüenza para el país, y que significan un estigma difícil de eliminar para los americanos que se encuentran con reproches cuando protestan contra las atrocidades turcas o los atentados de Rusia, nadie puede negarlo. Y sin embargo, los esfuerzos por dar fin a esa vergüenza parecen haber logrado muy poco. Los Capitalistas Blancos Intersados Siempre en la Explotación del Continente Africano se Valen de un Nuevo Método Para Consiguir sus Propósitos—Utilizan Ciertos de los Tal Llamados Directores de Nuestra Raza, Mediante Pago, Como Instrumentos Las naciones v corporaciones financieras interesadas siempre en la explotación del continente africano, se han dado cuenta de que existe actualmente una agitación universal en pro de la absoluta emancipación de Africa, patrocinada por los pueblos Negros del mundo y que los africanos en su madre patria toman parte activa en esta agitación Sus hermanos en raza del hemisferio occidental, de Asia, y de Europa dan a esta agitación una ayuda prepotente y millones de Negros en America especialmente trabajan y luchan sin cesar por la completa libertad de nuestra raza en todas partes El proyecto de ley contra los luchamientos aprobado por la camara, puede no haber sido una ley completenamente sabia o constitucional. De hecho, fue considerablemente modificada por la comisión del senado antes de presentar su dictamen Hasta entonces no pudo lograrse que la discusión avanzara, a causa de las sospechas de partidariismo que se levantaban por ambas partes. Los republicanos fueron acusados de apoyar insinceramente el proyecto de ley simplemente con el fin de ganar los votos de la probación negra en las elecciones congressionales. Por otra parte, los democratas del senado hostilizaron e, proyecto de ley y expresaron su opción con un inocultable fin de bandera. En Diembre proximo la cuestión se presentará logicamente de nuevo como un asunto que no ha terminado. Es posible que entonces se estudie como un problema no de partido, sino de interés nacional. Podria aprobarse por medio de un convenio patrimonio una ley que puerta una especie de referender federal a la expresion de ilegalidad y desorden que atrue a la nación entera una gran verguenza. Poco tiempo ha la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra envío a la Liga de Naciones en Geneva. Suiza, una delegación de representantes de nuestra raza para presentar ante aquel augusto cuerpo, las demandas de una raza que aspira a su absoluta libertad. Gran pullicidad se ha dado a este asunto en Europa, lo cual ha despertado gran interes entre los europeos, especialmente entre las clases trabajadoras. Con el objeto de contrarestar nuestra labor hacia la realización de nuestro ideal los capitalistas europeos se valen de nuevos métodos, en lo que respecta a los asuntos en el continente altivo. Filos tratan de convencer a la humanidad con la teoria de que el Africa no necesita una independencia propia, sino que su desarrollo debe depender de la bondad de las sociedades missionarias blancas, las cuales son protejidas por los buenos bilantrópicos blancos. Istos calculan que si consiguen que el mundo vea el futuro de Africa bajo este punto de vista, habrán muy pocos elementos de las otras razas que simpaticen con esta nueva demanda, lanzada a la opinión pública por nuestra organización, para recuperar lo que por ley natural nos pertenecice. Turquía No Consentirá que Inglaterra Ordene en los Dardanelos Los capitalistas de Norte America y de Inglaterra y los centros financieros de Francia e Italia se han propuesto de nuevo afianzar su poderio en el continente africano, con el objeto de extraer de el la última onza de oro, plata, cobre hierro, petroleo y demas minerales usando el sudor y su es posible, la sangre de sus nativos. El general Mazanaris, enviado de Grecia en la conferencia de Mudania, se nego a firmar el protocolo del armistico mientras consultaba al gobierno de Atenas, según despacho oficial recibido al mediodel comandante britanico v delegado en la conferencia, general Harington Ya que el Negro del presente empieza a hacer uso de las facultades, que la Natureleza le ha conferido, los filantropicos blancos realizan que será para ellos una árdua labor el convencerle que acepte su amigable protección y utilizan ciertos de los tal llamados directores de nuestra propia raza, quienes mediante pago, harán uso de toda su influencia y malicia para que tal protección sea aceptada Los generales aliados v los turcos firmaron el documento y se espera que Grecia lo firmara dentro de uno o dos dias Harington informo ademas que la preparacion se habia retardado a tal punto que las firmas no habian fijado todas sino a las seis y cuarenta minutos de la majana La historia se repite y con gran disgusto vemos de nuevo a los Judas Iscariotes desempeñando su papel. El pago por ellos recibido es el precio de venta de su propia raza. Ninguna persona ha de regalar millares de pesos sin nungun propósito. Su intención, al donar financias a instituciones e individualidades de nuestra raza, es que se dé al Negro una educación limitada y que se evite que éste se convierta en un elemento de una raza unida, fuerte e independiente. He aquí el porque de nuestro retroceso en esta nueva era de civilización. Los curcos en el último momento se retractaron sobre las cuestiones de la zona neutral a lo largo de los estrechos y el tamaño de la gendarmeria turca en Tracia. Noticias de Adrianopolis informa que la junta de socorro norteamericana en el oriente habia sido invitada a supervigilar la evacuación de 400.000 griegos de Constantino pla y el este de Tracia. El ministerio del exterior confirma que las objetiones de los griegos son solo tecnicas y que pronto seran resultados Los filantrópicos blancos han notado que las instituciones de nuestra raza, influenciadas por su protección financiera, no han practicado la enseñanza de amor a la raza y a la madre patria y aprovechan esta gran oportunidad para posesionarse de la mas mínima pulgada del territorio africano y vemos hoy dia que el norte, sur, este, oeste y centro de Africa es todo propiedad del hombre blanco, quien intenta explotarla para su enriquecimiento y el de su raza. Civilización Oriental Pueblos jóvenes, nacidos de las runas de viejas civilizaciones asiáticas, van surgiendo poco a poco en el escenario de la vida mundial, de nunciario una personalidad más menos vigorosa, mas o menos evolucionada. Una inconfirmed general hacía los dogmas y sistemas de la vida extendida a lo largo de los siglos precedentes a la gran guerra, ha provocado la concentración de grupos homogéneos en las dilatadas comarcas asiaticas, consientes del advenimiento de una era que les permita alinearse entre los pueblos a quienes incorpora en su sen principios reveladores de la civilización actual. Afortunadamente la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra está aquí para, exponer todas esta tramas las cuales han sido puestas en práctica para detrimento, no solamente del continente africano, sino también de la raza Negra en general. Abrigamos la esperanza de que ninguna atención será prestada a la propaganda de estos Judas Iscariotes, instrumentos de una raza, que en todo tiempo ha demostrado muy poca 6 ninguna consideración por la nuestra. Hace diez y ocho años las granadas demoleadoras de los acorazados japoneses anuncarron a los atomitos espectadores europeos que no todo era decadenenta y quietismo sepulcral en los dominios espirituales de Buda, y ahora los bedunos aguerridos, beliceros y bovis y de Bravos Pasha, ponen una barrera infraquable a las ambiciones imperialistas de las potencias europeas, anunciando de manera categórica que la personalidad de los pueblos orientales no se cotizará por más tiempo en el mercado de los intereses de Occidente. Refrenda esta actitud la insurrección latente en los gloriosos dominios faráconicos, aptos para la vida El Africa no necesita del consejo ni de la protección de las tal llamadas naciones cristianas. Por centenares de años han estado predicando cristianismo como medio eficiente para explotar y robar el continente africano. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negrá está determinada a llevar a cabo el programa de una absoluta emancipación, por medio del apoyo moral, físico y financiero de los elementos de nuestra raza. Si hemos de ser leales a esta noble causa, no vemos la razón por la cual dentro de breve tiempo podamos derrotar a los enemigos de nuestra raza y existir en un medio ambiente de libertad. civilizada, debido a la concreción de los postulados de dos civilizaciones en los laboratorios del alma popular egregia. Y detrás de estos, levanta su cabeza milenaria el alma mística de la India, que evoca, bajo sus tiendas revolucionarias, el poder del verbo, sugeridor de Chendi, el esplendor de un pasado grandioso, que se confunde con los origenes de las nieves del Himalaya y con el quietismo murmurante del Ganges. El velo impenetrable que hasta hoy ha enviuido a la mayoría de las sociedades asiaticas ha mantenido una hición mexicana como dugma mitangible del desarrollo o decadencia de esos pueblos. Nunca la verdad fue defrauada en forma más desconcertante que cuando se quiso inquirir el estado social de alguna agrupación asiatica. Prejuicios religiosos o políticos, intereses mercantiles y el egoismo de los pueblos que, arrogantemente, se llaman orientadores de la civilización, anunciaron a los vientos de la publicidad, a la manera de horoscopo infable, la decadencia y barbarie de tales sociedades. Fue preciso la accion coerciva de la guerra en Vladivostock, con el trunfo del Japon, o en Smirna, con el trunfo de los musulmanes, para permitir a esos pueblos orientales la enunciación de su derecho a la vida, y esto debido a que no habia poder humano capaz de sofrer la arrogancia de sus victorias incuestionables Contra esto es preciso emprender una campaña depuradora que destruya la montaña de mentiras convenionales que hoy entorpece el juicio de la humadad. En el alma de los pueblos de Oriente hay motivos de la mas profunda admiración, como los hay en los pueblos europeos. Nadie, en ninguna parte, está en posición de la verdad absoluta, la cual, al traducirse en maneras de pensar colectivo y en normas de vida, dio origen a las actuales religiones, todas nacidas en el Asia Francia en Contra de la Ley Prohibicionista Americana El comisionado Haynes afirma que la semana de extension concedida a los buques extranjeros para zarpar puerto libres de la lev Volstea significa cambio alguno en la actitud de la administración en la de los funcionarios encargado de hacer observar la prohibición, pero Mr Haynes tiene graves prejudicios Espera que la extension concedida no signifique ningun cambio de frente. Pero es improbable que haya jamás ninguna tentativa para restablecer la jurisdicción de la ley de prohibición sobre los buques de bandera extranjera en la forma ahora en discussion. El peligro de ancho que es demasiado evidente para el presidente Harding y el secretario Mellon. Entre tanto ha tribunales que pueden suspender la vigencia del reglamento dictado por Mr Daugherty y al final seran los tribunales quienes decidan su ese reglamento la de persistir o no. Si persiste, lo que parece improbable, considerando su seria transcendencia internacional, la ley Volstead debera ser revisada. Si el congresso ha legislado neciamente contra la posición de losiores abordo de buques extranjeros que se hallen dentro de nuestros limites jurisdicionales, existe un conflicto directo entre las leyes extranjeras y la de los Estados Unidos. Las compañías que navegan bajo bandera francesa se ven requeridas, según Joseph P Nolan, abogado consultor de la línea francesa, a suministrar diariamente a cada miembro de la tripulación de sus buques medio litro de vino de contenido alcoholico por dia y a los 'logoneros un litro Los buques franceses no podrán obedecer al mismo tiempo las leyes francesas y las de los Estados Unidos Para poner en vigencia la ley habria que legislar para Francia, lo que Francia no podrá permitir Hay solo una salida de la estupida situacion creada por Mr. Daugherty Los Estados Unidos deben retirar su absurda pretension de soberana sobre los buques extranjeros. El que esto se haga por medio de los tribunales o por una reforma de la ley Volstead no significa nada. Pero debe ser hecho. La Causa India Los amigos de la libertad de la India han preparado un banquete en el cual hablarán oradores conocidos de los Estados Unidos y del país hindu. Semejantes demostraciones tenderán lugar simultámente en Boston, Egipto, Sud Africa y en cerca de 700,000 aldeas y cuadades de la India. La celebración se hace con motivo del decimoséptimo aniversario del movimiento nacionalista para la obtención de la independencia de la India. Igualmente se celebra el día de Gandhi, que los amigos y simpatizadores de la independencia de la India, obtervan el dia 8 de cada mes. Tal celebración es significativa, como expresión universal de la camaradería de la libertad y de la cooperación mandial en todos los fines que constituyen una aspiración universal. La Campafia Contra el Gobernador de Puerto Rico De nuevo ilegan de la hermosa Borinquen ecos de fronda, en la información de una renaciente campaña contra el gobierno E. Montgomery Reilly, ya furiosamente atacado por prominentes nucleos políticos el año pasado A la cabeza de la nueva agitacion aparecen representantes de colectividades políticas muy importantes. Los cargos que se presentan, reiteracion mas detallada de los hechos anteriormente, tienen undudable gravedad Implican inversiones poco correctas de fondos públicos, empleo indebido de la autoridad gubernatorial, abuso de poder y excesos en la intervención política del mandatario Cualquiera de esos cargos por si solo tendria bastante importancia para motivar la investigación tan solicitada. Todos juntos la hacen impreсundible. Puerto Rico lleva un periodo de anormalidad política de cerca de dos años, en que el representante del poder de Washington en la isla ha estado divorciado, cuando menos, de sectores muy importantes de la opinion del país. Nada podra, en justicia, imputarse directamente a la administración de Washington, en sus relaciones directas con los puertorriquenos Cualesquilera que sean las ideas de estos, convienen en que sus negociaciones directas con los departamentos interesados de Washington son casi siempre satisfactorias. Pero la actuación del gobernador Reilly, que es precisamente representante de la administración federal, ha logrado el prodigio de crear antagonismos furiosos e irreconcilables, que nada vencer vencer. Una comisión parece en formación y destinada a traer de nuevo ante la Casa Blanca la reclamaciones de los borranquenos contra el gobernador impuesto Nada nuevo, por el momento al menos, puede decirse sobre la base legal y la documentación fehaciente que los comisionados traigan a los Estados Unidos. Pero el simple hecho del viaje de esa mission y de la agitación que sacué a la isla, hablan elocuentemente en favor de una investigación oficial superior que trate de restaurar la paz moral y organizzada, alterada desde hace tanto en Puerto Rico. Los puertorriquenos han demostrado a la Union una leal y probada amistad en la hora del peligro. Pero allá, como en el resto de Hispano America, no se olvida, no puede olvidarse, que Puerto Rico es una nación de nuestra raza, que cono todas las demas de esturpe hispana han nacido y existen con el perenne anhelo de libertad e independencia. Los puertorriquenos podran, y de hecho lo hacen, aceptar hechos históricos y condicionales inudibles de su situación. Pero las aspiraciones de libertad no moriran con represiones absurdas o gobernadores reflexivos. La labor del gobernante americano de Puerto Rico debe tender a encauzar el desarrollo de aquel laborioso y culto pueblo por senderos normales y pacíficos. Y el porvenir dira lo que el destino reserve a la nacion hermana. Pero en nombre de la democracia, de la libertad v del derecho de los pueblos al gobierno propio, no puede negarse a la población de la isla una investigacion sobre la clase de gobernante que la rige tan a su disgusto -La Prensa, N Y COLORED DELEGATE TO NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION Commander Thomas H. Walters of the Col Charles Young Post No. $28, American Legion, of New York, left Saturday morning on the American Legion special for the national convention at New Orleans, La. Mr. Walters is the only colored delegate representing New York State. As accompanying the delegate in Mr. Sol. Butler, a member of the Col Charles Young Post, who will represent the State in the national athletic meet Mr. Walters' special work at the convention will be that of securing the passage of a resolution effecting the admission of colored men into the legion from those States which do not now grant charters. The Col Charles Young Post No. 388 has been waging a vigorous campaign in the interest of this resolution for several months. Colored posts in many States have worked for adoption of such a resolution, and to date it is reported that the States of Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, the District of Columbia and several others have pledged support to the resolutions. HIGH COMMISSIONER TOBITT SAILS, FOR HIS FIELD SAILS FOR HIS FIELD Rev Dr. J. H. Tobitt, who has recently been appointed High Commissioner of the West Indian group, including Bermuda, the Leeward Islands, Barbados, British Guiana, and who took a prominent part in the recent U. N. I. A. convention, is expected to sell for his field on Tuesday next. Originally the principal of a grammar school in Bermuda, being a Mious school graduate, Dr. Tobitt retired to take up service in the U. N. L. A. and has met with well-descended success. With him further steps in his career were OPPORTUNITIES There is a tide in the affair of men, which, when taken at the flood, leads en to greatness—Lengfellow. Never before in the history of the Negro peoples of the world have there ever been such daunting prospects and brilliant opportunities forthcoming as are now presented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Going back years ago, through the inculcation of false doctrines taught them by alien races for their own aggredissement, they evinced an inability to unite and blind themselves together, which borders strongly on incredulity. Years ago the Negro felt that all for which he had to live was the security of a meal, he lay in his bed and visions of the plough, scenes of drudgery, the whip and lash all rose before him like dark, towering, frowning and insu, mountable walls that stopped his progress. The intervention of providence from its throne of immutability, working in its mysterious way, coupled with his own efforts, led him through the above mentioned obstacles. He steps out in the world determined to make something of himself, but alas he sees on the horizon a dark cloud of race prejudice rushing headlong toward him, he sees rising on either side of him waves of race hatred and breakers of segregation threatening to throw him off his feet at any moment, and last, but not least, he hears the stentorian voice of his former master ringing out like a peal of thunder. "Thus far shalt thou go and no further." He stands alone, unarmed, unprotected against these great odds that spell death, slavery and extermination; he sees the last chance of his being a man vanishing before him like the melting of ice. Yet with qualities unlike those of Redmen he stoops to conquer; he despares not; injuries are given him without retaliation, injustices borne without redress being sought for. Anon' it seems as if in vindication of the words "Reward comes to those who wait" there comes one out of the maestrom of these depicted conditions, one who was predestined to revive the fast-waning hope of this grand old race, one who was destined to excavate even from the bowels of Mother Earth the hidden history of Ethiopia's lost glory to enlighten a people yearning for a knowledge of themselves, one who is destined, like Wellington, who defeated and crushed the onward march of Napoleon Bonaparte, the greatest military genius of modern times, in his attempted invasion of European liberty, to lead the 400,000,000 Negroes through the unequal strife of this greedy and covetous world against the overwhelming odds to the possession of their rightful heritage and to make them citizens of a free Africa. He of whom I write is no less a person than His Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and President-General and Administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Of him it can be said, "Vent. vid. vici," he is a prodigy that stands today as the Pyramids of Egypt, unrivaled by any of his race in the art of organization he is a Rock of Gibraltar, guarding and guiding the destiny of 400,000,000 Negroes of the world in their Mediterranean Sea of Troubles. Powerful in the originality of his ideas, decisive, bold, defiant in the execution of his duty; of an independent mien, of an integrity of character capable of facing the powerful searchlights of public scrutiny and the investigating gaze of an unscrupulous world, the Negro race can boast at last of having presented to the world a leader unsurpassed in his magnanimity and one whose unfinishing determination is to give liberty to the 400,000,000 Negroes or die in the attempt. The success of the program of this master mind depends largely upon the My dear readers, at this moment it is with a heart full of race-love and pride in my color that I am appealing to you, it is with a hope that you have been aroused to race-consciousness, with the belief that you have realized that the future of the children and your children's children is within your power to make or mar, that I am asking you not to let this opportunity allp. Remember, "opportunity lost can never be regained," and that it knocks but once at a man's door. Opportunity has a long time been in knocking at the Negro's door, but the longest day has an end, and it has at last presented itself in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it behooves every Negro man and woman to grasp this life-line which has been thrown out to him, for upon it rests the destiny of 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. In the opening I stated that more brilliant opportunities never presented themselves, and to the eye of a careful and analytical observer this statement is irrefutable. England today is from a physical point of view extremely weak, financially she borders on bankruptcy, and the situation demands all the tast and diplomacy her statesman can exhibit to keep the crumbling wall intact. Ireland writhes within the throes of a civil war, and anarchy strides like a Colosseus through her streets; Scotland is beginning to send up her cry for liberty and self-government; India is like unto a boiling volcano ready at any moment to send into the atmosphere her columns of deadly lively; Russia runs red with the blood of penalized rebels; Turkey and Greece are again engaged in the deadly scions of civilization; war"; China"; Britain; forces are burning, to have their ancestors or slaves from foreign lands killed; for the master of all these nations ago been a pawn in the social institutions. is now binding links with the inseparable codes of love, the silver links of the once divided chain are now being riveted strongly together with the golden rivets of unity and they are forming a body 400,000,000 strong with the intention of joining their part, not as a pawn in the game this time, but as a player, and the player who holds the winning cards. Although it may seem a matter of physical impossibility for us to succeed in the accomplishment of our aims, yet in accordance with Patrick Henry, "there is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations," and although we are not yet one, he has seen and knows the oppression of His people in Africa and will certainly hear the cry of 400,000,000 in their effort for freedom. Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate. Realizing that before us lies the opportunity of materializing these visions our imaginations build, the vision of a land thriving with industry and commerce, a land teeming with millions of free citizens, beautiful marble halls of legislature, seats of culture, universities of learning, where our men and women can aspire to be the holders of titles, where they can be afforded the opportunity to illuminate the pages of history with their definitions which are now stifled, and where we can behold floating in the balmy sephyrs of sunny Africa the new-born banner of the Red, Black and Green.

BLACK FRENCH OFFICERS TO COMMAND WHITE TROOPS France to Open Military School to Train Negro Students (Special correspondence to The Negro Times) PARIS Oct 10 - While England and America are apparently doing all they can to retard the progress of their Negro population France realizing that her future to a great extent lies in her black population is doing every thing to develop her Negroes. The latest move to startle the Americans here is the proposal of Colonel Stubli a leading military authority to open French military schools to Negro students from the African Colonies. Under this proposal, which is being seriously considered by the Army Commission, these black officers would be appointed to the command of white troops. With the success of Moran and Biski and the very splendid service rendered by Negro officers and men during the war, the eyes of the French Government are wide open to the great possibilities of her black colonials. Famous Negro General It is not generally known in the United States that the most distinguished figure in French military circles prior to the great war was General Alfred Almedee Dodds, who died in his eighty-fourth year recently. General Dodds was a Senegalese. His mother was a native woman and his father a white official. He was Commander-in-Chief of the armies that added the great native kingdom of Dahomey and much of Nigeria, as well as the whole trans-Bahara territory with its millions of population to the huge colonial empire of France in West Africa. He also saw considerable service in ANALYZING BIASED PROPAGANDA By ERNEST E. MAIR The following is an excerpt from the editorial columns of the 'Jamaica Times,' a weekly newspaper published in Kingston, Jamaica. B. W. I A great deal is being written and said hero just now on the part of Mr. Garvey's propaganda. From one standpoint it need hardly be discussed. Whatever Mr. Garvey's motives, aims, intentions or desires, however pure they may be, however patriotic or however courageous, one has only to look correctly into the matter to realize that there is nothing practical or real in the plan of taking back to Africa people whose forbears came from Africa, but who themselves have long since become part and parcel of other lands. They won't go in any large numbers. If they did go, they would find that they had been let in for something very different from what they had expected, and they would have to reckon with the millions of Africans already in Africa and whose minds and ideals would have to be equally saturated and pervaded and convinced with the ideas permeating the minds of the oncoming millions. A war rather than a welcome would be the most likely thing under the circumstances. If the material difficulties are great, greater still would be the moral and social difficulties. There is without doubt something noble and appealing about this idea of the return to the mother continent of her far-scattered children or their descendants, many of whom, most of whom, have during the centuries since their forefathers left Africa, suffered oppression and hardships and who are still in so many cases sufferers from prejudice. But new opportunities have swung for them. They have found new countries. They are part and parcel of the life of these countries. The best of them will think with a tender heart of Africa, but they will see how impracticable is the wholesale return to the motherland. Just as a Scotchman never forgets Scotland, never ceases to love her, but settles down in other countries, there to live and work all his days. We will not take it upon ourselves to tell our people not to put their money into any "Back-to-Africa" schema. That they must decide for themselves. What we do advise and enjoin is that each project which under this general title asks for their money should be carefully and minutely examined with clear business insight. They should not be misled by such arguments that if the people from this island migrated, the richer here would have their business paralyzed, and that therefore these rich people necessarily oppose the movement. If black Jamaicans left Jamaica in this way, the first result would be to improve. The advantages of life here for the laborers remain. The second result would be the latent of new population from somewhere. The Chinese are quite willing to leave China and the Japanese to quit Japan. So are the Portuguese and the Spaniards. It would only be a matter of time, and just as Jamaica, which saw the banished Arawaks replaced by the sons of Africa, would see the latter replaced by some other element of population. But although the hope to Africa idea can never be practical in a general sense, it may embody a sufficient ideal if it is translated into a new record for a new interest in and a new manner to know about and to love Africa. It is almost pitiable that many black men seem to think, concerned with Africa. A new attitude is necessary in their welcome, and in their expectations, and in their attitudes towards and Cochin China and China. During the Boxer Rebellion he was for a time commander in Chief of the British German, American and other allied forces. As captain of infantry he was one of the officers of the Franco-Prussian War of 1820 and won considerable fame at the defense of Bazelleen. Though captured several times, he managed to escape under the most sensational circumstances and resumed his place at the front. Before he was thirty five he had won nearly every French decoration for valor and service on the battlefield. The honor accorded this black general by France is indicative of the spirit of this country, and its unprejudiced custom of rewarding ability to its citizens regardless of color. Contrast this case with that of the late Col. Charles Young who was politically retired from the army at a time when it was no longer possible to withhold the generalship from him. Who knows but that Colonel Young might have been another General Dodds had he been permitted to take part in the last war. General Dodds was encouraged by white Frenchmen, and received the highest honors from them. Colonel Young, on the other hand, was discouraged and shunted from active service by America. Naturally the Americans here are much worried over the proposal of training black officers, and are doing all they can to set the Frenchmen against the idea.—The Negro Times. nor given to unduly flourishing it before the attention of others. The preceding appeared in the issue of September 23. Two pages away in the same issue appears the following Event? It is a little early yet, of course, to judge how Egypt fares as an independent nation, but so far the augurious are hardly bright. While the constitution is being worked out, the copia show symptoms of a fierce factional break away. This is because the commission has refused to give them proportional representation, and they fear they will be swamped by the Moslem vote. Throughout the country robbery murder, brigandage, assaults and destruction of crops have increased. Two high Egyptian officials have been discovered accepting bribes, and general public security has grown less dependable. The prospect is that the country will sink back into the horrible conditions that prevailed before British rule organized and lifted it to the stakes of firm, fair and honest government. Then in the issue of September 30 we find this (also on the editorial page) Buroly even those who do it must ace, in looking back on their performances, that their dragging of race and color questions into discussions of public matters is, so to speak, often by the head and ears. If they reflect a minute they will see that this very frequency defeats the object they aim at. That aim is presumably to get out into the daylight of public attention genuine and actual cases of color prejudice being allowed to militate against merit. But if one is forever crying out "Wolf, Wolf," when there is no wolf, the day comes when the cry is no longer heeded. This is a point of view that might well be considered even by those to whom the other fact makes little appeal, that fact being that as we are a mixed community we should do all we can to live together in peace and goodwill even to the length of overlooking rather than "looking up" causes of grievance of one section against the other. This country belongs to the black man no more than to the white. Each has his share in it as a British subject. That is the basis of stability.

BY ORDER MARCUS GARVEY, President-General Case of Colonel Young "By the Head and Ears" After writing on another tople for half a column, the thread of the plot is resumed with the following As Kemal Pasha advanced on Syrmna he made statement after statement to the effect that he and his meth would observe all the rules and observations of modern civilized war, if war can be civilized. The general population was to be respected so far as safety and security of life and property went. Material taken was to be paid for. The rights of non-combatants of every sort were to be regarded as sacred. It really seems as if at length the Turks had learned not only to conquer but how to conquer and how to rule. Then suddenly the scene is changed. Violence outrage atrocity in the most hideous form burst out and glared greatly under the vault of heaven. In Syrmna fire and massacre scared and crumoned the whole area. Prisoners were murdered in cold blood and women worse than killed. Once again the Turk has sprung forth in his real colors, unharming and apparently unchangeable. Kemal may have meant as a political measure to observe all he promised but the inherited tendencies of the men he led their fanaticisms, blood-cust and instinct for raphe could not be controlled by those who saw further and saw clearer. The Turk can conquer. It cannot rule. Following these the next page carries an article entitled *Nations on the Brink of Ruin written by Jon Arthur Lynch (I wonder is he related to Judge Lynch of Georgia)* which contains the following statements: I went to Russia full of sympathy for its democratic aspirations. I listened while there to all the talks of civil war and blockades and aggressions that accounted for their ruin that was no apparent, but I was not convinced. If Russia had had no women and no blockade the economic system that the Bolahevki attempted to put in force would have suffited to bring the country to misery. There you have the real secret of the Russian chaos. The Bolsheviks are not cruel and bloody tyrants living in luxury and fattening on the labor of the multitude, they are plain living generally hard-working men of an idealistic tendency who are trying to put impossible theories into practice. Comments on Biased Propaganda Comments on Blase Propaganda Six years ago black people would have swallowed all this pro-imperialist stuff whole, but today? Ah! Today we are ourselves trying our hand at propaganda, and the effect it has on us is the same that arguments as to the quality of cloth have on textile experts. Let us examine the goods. With black men becoming analytical in their reading, do you wonder that the white overloads of Europe are better nightmares? The situation is not still unlike that of one Baalam, whose and addressed him in perfectly good Hebrew, much to his mental perturbation. The black ass of Ethiopia has begun to speak, and his speech has set the European Baalam to "saint things." Later on when he is tired of more speech he will turn around his hinder parts and begin to kick. Have you ever been kicked by an African jackass? Brother, he is a pain. REV. ALEXANDER HANNUM DEAD The sad news of the death of Rev Alexander Hannum, pastor of Wester A. M. E. Zion Church, at Fifteenth and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, is announced from Salisbury N.C. where he went a short time ago in an attempt to recover his health Rev Hannum died on Sunday September 10, and was buried Tuesday afternoon, September 12 at 2:30 o'clock at Salisbury The Reverand Hannum was one of the most useful and popular ministers in Philadelphia. He commanded the respect of all classes of people, both w. pin and without the church. He was prominently mentioned in Zion connection as a candidate for the bishopric, and no doubt would have been elected had he lived in 1924. Roverdend Hannum had been in the pastory for a number of years his charges having extended all over the country. He was an upright Christian gentleman, believed and practiced the gospel he preached. He leaves a widow, two daughters and two sons to mourn his loss. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1922 The Turk As Usual ATTENTION! MEMBERS NEW YORK LOCAL Are You Buying Your Provisions from the Universal Groceries? The Only Negro Chain-Groceries Operating in Harlem IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE YOUR OWN ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S HISTORY QUESTIONS By J. A. ROGERS 1. The Bonogambian Seres, who range in height from 6 feet to 6 feet 8 inches, and who have splendid physiques. The Negritiles, that is, the Pygmies, Oobongo, Akka, and Batwa tribes of Central Africa. The average height is 4½ feet, weight, 77 pounds. 2. That the Negro diggites had sounder feet than the white ones. Chas. E. Davenport, foremost American explorer, says in the Holenthic Monthly of January and February, 1920, "The one striking fact of the geographical distribution is the comparative freedom from foot defects enjoyed by the Southern Natives. This is due both to the comparative absence of shoes in the rural population during early years of life and to its large colored population which, partly because of such freedom from shoes and partly because of anatomical and physiological peculiarities, is less affected with weak feet than whites. The great center of flat feet is in the Northwest 3. The African Negro. The latter relies almost solely on natural light and thus his eyes are unspoiled by the glare of artificial light 4. The Zulus 5. The former Primitive peoples usually have much better teeth than civilized ones, then diet is much more natural. The Negro part clearly when unmixed, is noted for his excellent teeth 6. Differences of color are caused by differences in the degree of sunlight. If one starts in the extreme north of Europe and travels northward he will find that as the rays of the sun increase in heat and constancy the darker he comes humanity. He will see that mankind from a very light blonde shades into brunette and then brown until when he reaches the Sudan he will find it burnt quite black The true skin of all humanity is of a very pale shade of yellow. The coloring matter or pigment in the layer of skin above acts as a protection for the delicate nerves under the true skin. In pretty much the same manner as the dark color in glasses shields the eyes. In the Arctic circles the color of the animals changes twice a year brown and mottled in summer and white in winter. The effect of sunlight is the same with regard to hair. Not only does tropical man like tropical animals need little hair, but in the case of the Negro, thousands and thousands of years of strong sunlight shining on his uncovered head has dried up the natural oil in the scalp, and scarred the growth of the hair. The density of man ever where changes in conformity with the environment. This is a necessity for survival, and explains how from a single stock and one common center so many varieties of mankind originated. THE NORTH HARLEM HOUSE WIVES' LEAGUE The North Harlem Housewives' League in line with sister organizations in the Bronx and Washington Heights is preparing plans with which it intends to strike a stunning blow of protest at the profiteers in good and bring to repentance the heartless landlords. Things in these lines are worse in the colored sections of Harlem than in any other parts of the city where low wage-earning families reside. This light on the part of the colored housewives of Harlem is justifiable and will eventually have its desired results. The present high prices of table articles, according to the records of the wholesale merchants, are unwarranted and charged up to the middleman and retailer. The only legitimate remedy left in the hands of the housewife seeking the pinch of home economic difficulties is to keep hammering at these profiteers until subdued.
