DEC 8 1922 LIBRARY THE Negro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY DELEGATES FROM UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS SCORE GREAT VICTORY FOR AFRICAN NATIVES The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XIII. No. 17 DELEGATES FROM UNIV LEAGUE OF NATIONS FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Our delegates to the League of Nations, who were also commissioned to represent the interests of the Negro race in Europe, have returned to us. They come with a report most encouraging. Forty-eight hours after they landed on the shores of America after their stay abroad the British Mandatory Government issued a proclamation abolishing slavery in German East Africa, one of the colonies that they asked be turned over to us as a government for the Negro peoples of the world. Our delegates did not fail to impress upon the League of Nations, as well as the white colonial governments, that the time for a better consideration of the rights of the Negro had come and that we were no longer disposed to be shunted and shifted with hopeless promises. The governments fully realize that the new Negro is determined. He speaks in the language of determination and he means to execute every bit of it. Hence, we are not surprised to see the changed attitude of our one-time masters. THE NEGRO INTERESTED IN PROGRESS The Negro race is as much interested in the progress and development of white governments even as the white race is itself, because we feel that the time has come for all peoples to live and worship under their "own vine and fig tree." Yielding this much to the white man, we feel it but right that we ourselves should enjoy the benefits of our own government and the exercise of our own authority. With this in view we welcome the change that has been made in German East Africa by the British through our instigation, but it is for us to let them know, as well as the other colonial powers in Africa, that we are not satisfied only to be liberated from chattel slavery, but that we desire and are determined to live and exercise the rights of real men. THE DELEGATES TO THE LEAGUE That our delegates have succeeded in bringing about this change is but an indication of what can be accomplished through united and co-operative effort. If our delegates had not gone to the League of Nations, if we had not inspired an investigation into the activities of the mandatory powers in Africa, we would not have been so placed today as to have our countrymen liberated from the bonds of chattel slavery. The critics of our association will now be better advised of the usefulness of our movement. Rome was not built in a day, so we do not expect Africa to be liberated overnight, but gradually we will bring about changes until we reach the perfect state. Today may be the liberation of the slaves in German East Africa; tomor- ERSAL NEGRO IMPROVE SCORE GREAT VICTORY SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA INFLUENCE OF GREAT MOVEMENT FELT IN EUROPE HAT-IN-HAND, BOWING-AND-SCRAPING, CHAR-ITY-FED, AND GIFT-RECEIVING "LEADERS" AND LEADERETTES SCORED FOR THEIR COMPROMISING AND APOLOGETIC POLICY row it may be the liberation of the peons and serfs in the Belgian Congo; the following day it may be the granting of fuller rights to the natives of Senegal, and then in one year, five years or ten years will come a grand federation of African states that will see us once more a great people, a mighty empire. THE PROGRAM OF THE U. N. I. A. Let us be not weary in well-doing. Let us continue the great work of advocating the cause of human liberty. We owe a great deal of gratitude to these delegates of ours who so ably represented us before the League of Nations and before the courts of Europe. They have stirred up a sentiment on the Continent that shall never die. They have set France ablaze with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Germany, Italy and Spain are all anxiously watching the growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and, by the way, we are steadily growing. We are moving from one state of organization to another, and we shall so continue until we have thoroughly lifted ourselves into the organization of government. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now contemplating sending other ambassadors to different parts of the world to represent the interests of the race. In a short while our ambassadors will go to Japan and to the Far East, as well as in another short while we will send a representative to the Court of Abyssinia, there to carry out the commands of our 1921-1922 convention. Let the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association rally together throughout the world. Hold fast to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, for, in truth, the standard shall, in a short while, take its place alongside of the great national emblems on the day. NEGRO CRITICS ANALYZED To the Englishman the Union Jack is the symbol of life. To the white American the Stars and Stripes is an inspiration. To us, the black men throughout the world, the Red, the Black and the Green shall be the sign by which we shall PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES see salvation. Let us fight on. Let us ignore and pass by the critics who try to malign and misrepresent us. Let the insignificant Owenses, Randolphs, Du Boises, Diagnes, Pickenses and Candaces and the parasites and sycophants who have for ages bowed at the footstools of the "superior man" realize that the Negro race shall develop and move on without them. They have "lost nothing in Africa," black as they are. They never had any attachment to Africa. They are all pure (?) descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers and of the Celtic race. They know (?) not what it is to be a Negro. "The very idea of being an African!" "Oh, how horrible!" "Do not tell us about it!" "Oh, to imagine that I could be the descendant of an African!" "I am a full-blooded American!" "I am a full-blooded Frenchman!" "I am a full-blooded Englishman!" This stupid consolation will be the destruction of the imbeciles who have not sense enough to know and realize that they are but the clowns supplying amusement for a great and proud white race that knows and sees nothing else but the purity of itself. Africa will once more be restored to her glory and the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall take an active part in the accomplishment. BE PROUD OF YOUR RACE Fight on, black men, women and children everywhere! Be as proud of your race today as our fathers were in the days of yore. You have a beautiful history; you shall create another in the future that will be an astonishment to the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay, the legions of hell notwithstanding. Nothing will daunt us. Nothing will divert us from the great cause of liberty. The vision is too grand to let it die; yea, the vision of Africa redeemed, the vision of a fully emancipated race. Let us support our program more than ever financially and morally. Let our divisions come together in a grander determination to support the parent body. For us to put over the program that you have given us in the convention you must give us the wherewithal financially to meet the obligation. Members will support their locals and locals will support the parent body thereby on and on we shall go until the summit of African freedom is reached and our race is declared free everywhere. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be PROGRAM OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ELOQUENTLY DEFINED BY AMERICAN LEADER This declaration of the stand taken by the U. N. I. A. personifies the idea upon which the association was conceived by its great leader, and which, because of its noble and lofty character, has rallied to the colors of the movement millions of Negroes from all parts of the world who have longed for an organization which could rekindle the spark of manhood which lay amoudering within them, because of the heels of oppression which have been so firmly planted upon them for ages by another race. Small wonder, therefore, that the eyes of the world are centered upon the movement, for they see within it the possibilities of a race throwing off the yoke of oppression which has been weighing heavily upon them, looking up to the skies and demanding a place in the sun among the other nations of the world. Mr. Sherrill used sound philosophy when he said that the association is not so much concerned about how we are going to redeem Africa, for the day that it is able to get black men to be loving to each other, co-operating with each other, raising up the right foot and putting down the left at the same time and saying yes and on the same question, you do not have to worry; we can redeem any spot on this green earth we want. Mr. Sherrill's speech was a wonderful effort. He held his audience spell-bound as he made his flights of oratory and stamped himself as one of the most powerful speakers who have ever graced the platform of Liberty Hall. Among the other speakers was the Supreme Deputy, Hod. G. O. Marke, whose remarks dealt principally with the mission of the delegation, of which he was chairman, to the League of Nations. He went over more or less the same grounds covered in his speech on Thanksgiving night, and made cynical reference to the critics who had belittled the delegation and the efforts of the association in trying to get a hearing, before the great powers of the world. The success of the delegation, however, had exploded all their criticisms, in that the delegation was able, as Mr. Marke said, not only to obtain seats in the League of Nations, but prominent seats, and was further able to present its petition over the heads of 8,500 petitions which had been awaiting presentation for the last two Can You Sleep All Night? Or Must You Get Up Frequently by Reason of Bladder Trouble! If so, I would like to send you a sample of my treatment. I will send you a sample of treatment.

In the space of three weeks, however, the petition sent by the U.N.I. a delegation was presented and was now part and parcel of the records of the League of Nations, to be considered at some future time. He thought that the organization had good reason to be proud of the accomplishment and expressed no fear that if a delegation of competent men was sent to the next meeting of the league and backed up by the organization the results which are hoped for would be accomplished. The chairman of the meeting Hon. G. E. Carter announced that the President-General. Hon. Marcus Garvey will be back in New York and deliver a lecture in Liberty Hall on the evening of the 11th on the subject 'The Flag That Leads to Liberty.' MR. SHEBRILL'S SPEECH Hon Wm I Sherrell spoke as follows. It is indeed a source of pleasure after having been absent from Liberty Hall for about three months to come back and find such manifestation of high interest and enthusiasm displayed by the membership of this division. The interest and enthusiasm manifested by the members of the New York Local simply demonstrates that there are men and women in this division who have caught a perfect vision of the gigantic program we are attempting to put over, and you have set your hearts and minds to see to it that the program goes over and goes over in record time. U. N. I. A. Making Men Out of Weaklings The Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing one thing it is making men out of weaklings. The difference between the Universal Negro improvement Association and other Negro movements is this: Other Negro movements that have taken up the cause of the black man have gone forth attempting to convince the other fellow that the black man is a man just like he is and has certain rights which should be respected. Other Negro movements have spent much time and talent and have used much link and paper trying to convince the other fellow that you have certain capabilities, trying to convince the other fellow that you have the same feelings and the same sensations, the same desires and the same ambitions that he possesses. They have done that year in and year out, they have done that decade in and decade out. They have spent their time and talent for the last fifty years trying to convince the other fellow that the Negro is a man and that he has certain rights that should be respected. Differs with Other Negro Organizations But the Universal Negro Improvement Association after looking over the record of those Negro organizations that have meant well and done their best as they saw it, has simply changed that tune. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not spending any time convincing the other fellow that you are a man, but not spending its time telling the other fellow you have certain capabilities. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is turning all its energies, time and talent toward one object, and that is trying to Convince the Negro Himself that He Is a Man Trying to tell the Negro himself that he has certain rights that should be respected, trying to make you understand that you are capable of certain things; trying to make you fully realize that you are capable of putting yourselves up by your own bootstraps; and if the Universal Negro Improvement Association can succeed in convincing the Negro himself that he is a man; that he has certain rights that should be respected, that he is capable of doing certain things, we will not have to spend any time telling anybody else, for the Negroes will stand upon their feet and look the other follow in the face and say they are men capable of doing certain things. (Applause.) That is our job; it is trying to get you to have confidence in yourself. How We Are Going to Redeem Africa In Philadelphia last night I told of an instance concerning Mr. Garvey in Cleveland which I will never forget. When Mr. Garvey was in Cleveland addressing a meeting a noted Bishop was there and asked Mr. Garvey a question just as soon as he started. Mr. Garvey did not answer the question immediately, but proceeded with his subject. The question this Bishop asked was this: "Mr. Garvey, you talk about redeeming Africa. I want to ask you one question: How are you going to redeem Africa and where are you going to start? Don't you know that Africa is owned by the powerful governments of the world? Do you know that Africa is partitioned off, that Belgium has a part, England has a part, France has a part and other nations own Africa? I want to ask you one question: How are you going to redeem Africa and where are you going to start? Mr. Garvey went on with his speech and sat down without answering the question. The Bishop took it for granted that he had struck him a jaw-breaker, and got up and said: "Just a moment! You did not answer my question." Mr. Garvey got up somewhat irritated and said: "What question is that?" The Bishop repeated the question and Mr. Garvey retorted: "Hold on a moment! Why, Bishop, nations and governments are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to get the answer to that same question, and I am not going to give it to you for nothing." (Cheers and laughter.) The Negro Has Talked Too Much One of the main troubles with this old-time Negro is that he has talked too much; he told the other fellow of his plans; he told the other fellow of his operations, and you know some of us in the Universal Negro Improvement Association get a little bit wor- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 Is in Direct Contrast to Program of Other Negro Organizations—Does Not Seek to Tell the Other Fellow That the Negro Is a Man, but to Convince the Negro Himself That He Is a Man—This Platform Has Rallied Millions of Negroes to the Cause GOVERNMENTS WORRIED ABOUT HOW AFRICA WILL BE REDEEMED—U. N. I. A. NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HOW WE WILL REDEEM AFRICA—BY CO-OPERATION ANY SPOT ON EARTH CAN BE REDEEMED—HON. G. O. MARKE SUPPLEMENTS HIS REPORT OF SUCCESS OF DELEGATION AT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Hits Back at Critics Who Belittled the Delegation—Their Criticism Exploded by the Results Accomplished—Petition Presented to League Over the Heads of Thousands of Others—Garvey to Lecture in Liberty Hall on the 11th on Subject, "The Flag That Leads to Liberty" ried sometimes because we are not told everything the association is going to do. But let me say to the credit of this organization. There is one thing that is going to contribute to the success of the program of the organization, and that is we have a little set of members who are standing behind this program and who are working with might and main and are not asking questions. We do not always know those persons are who have dues cards and wear buttons. Everybody having a dues card and wearing a button is not with Garvey. (Crisis of No No!) The Universal Negro Improvement Association is profiting by the mistakes of past leaders, and let me say we are not so much concerned about how we are going to redeem Africa. What We Are Concerned About Negro Does Not Know His Strength One of the saddest features of the Negro a condition is the fact that he does not know his strength, his capabilities and the mighty powers that he quarreces within him. One of the most pitiful parts of our condition is not that we are racially weak, but that we are ignorant of our racial strength. I want to say, friends, that you may be ignorant but the other fellow is not. His contact with you for hundreds of years has enabled him to discover in you something you have not discovered in yourself. That is the reason why he keeps an iron hand upon you everywhere and makes laws to compel you to move in certain prescribed channels, who he seeks to divide and separate Southern Negroes from Northern Negroes West Indian Negroes from American Negroes, and tells one group they are different from the other. Not that he hates you, you have done nothing to grouse hate in him. Ever since the white man met you your sweet fertilized his fields, your brawn has enriched his treasures, your blood has drapped to protect his flags and his governments. He does not hate you because you are black and your hair is wooly. The Reason for the White Man's Attitude Millions of insultations scattered all over the world testify to the white man's love for the black man but knowing that you have the spark of progress in your breast, knowing that you are capable of riling and knowing that he has robbed and brutalized you and exploited you in Africa, that he has lynched and burned you in America, he has exhausted every means to keep you in subjection, not because he hates you but because he fears you. And nowhere is that fact more demonstrated than on the continent of Europe. Uppermost Thought in Minds of White Men Do you know the thought uppermost in the minds of those white men who would come to interview us and find out about our organization either directly or indirectly? This is the question they would ask us. What are you going to do after you have made yourselves strong?" A guilty conscience. They wanted to know whether or not the Negro was thinking of getting revenge. Have anything to revenge, Mr. White Man? You have treated us all right. But that was the thought uppermost in their minds—if we give the Negro a foothold in Africa and he builds up a mighty and powerful government, the next thought is what will he do next? Will he begin to think about some of the debts that need collecting? The Serious Aspect And that is the thing that gives a serious aspect to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. That is the reason why the papers were full of the activities of the delegates. The French colonial papers carried pictures of Mr Garvey on the front page. They carried his whole speech that he delivered at the armory during the convention on the front page, and the French printed a pamphlet discussing the Garvey movement containing eight or ten pages and spread it around Switzerland, saying the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a dangerous organization—dangerous because Marcus Garvey is telling the Negro that Africa is a rich country, telling the people that Africa is a mighty country, telling the Negro that he is numerically strong enough THOUSANDS OF PERSONS SEE FOOTBALL CLASSIC; FOLLOWERS OF LINCOLN AND HOWARD TAKE CITY to redeem a continent, telling the Negro that he is capable of doing this job himself (Applause) A Dangerous Gospel When you begin to tell Negroes that, it is a dangerous gospel Marous (carry) has the key to the situation. He simply wants you Negroes to help him turn it. The Universal Negro improvement Association wants the support of each and every member. I care not what mistakes you think the organization has made. I care not what faults may have been committed, the mere fact that the Universal Negro improvement Association is working on the destiny of the race demands your support. The mere fact that it is working on the destiny of a people and working out the program of a race is a wonderful thing in itself. We are working on the destiny of a race, a race that has told down the centuries bearing the burdens of a dominant race upon its shoulders, a race whose hair has been burnt to a kink, whose faces have been burnt black because of exposure to gases of burning sun, a race whose feet have been beaten flat because they have burned the burden of centuries upon its shoulders. The Burdens of the Negro We are working on the destiny of a race, a race that has been crushed a race that has groomed a race that has suffered a race that has been persecuted. We are working on the destiny of a race—a race that today has become tired under the burdens they have been forced to bear. France has exploited the Negro in her colonial possessions. Belgium has brutalized him all up and down the Congo. America has lached and burned and segregated him, his suffering has become so intense until today the Negro is sick and tired of the burden he is forced to bear and he is beginning to cry for books for he feels like reading, to cry for fortune for he feels like managing to cry for governments, for he feels like ruling (Applause). And the Negro today Cannot Go Back The Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot fall for the Negro has put his eyes on Africa, has turned his eyes toward the land of his father's Grush Giskey today and a little Garvey will spring up somewhere tomorrow (Applause). I want to say, friends that it is up to the Negro in this great movement to see it that old story about black men annoted for themselves is not true. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay because it is planted in the hearts of millions of Negroes everywhere. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 1, 1922 ~ Thousands of persons representing the alumni and friends of the Howard University, Washington, D.C., and Lincoln University, Chester county, Pennsylvania poured into Washington to witness the annual football clash between the eleven of the two schools on Thanksgiving Day morning at 10:30. This event, which has now become known as "The Football Classic of the Year" among colleges for the training of colored youth has truly become also the meeting place of the most representative group of colored people in America. In 1920 the two teams played each other to a standstill at Philadelphia; the next year at Washington Howard defeated Lincoln 43 to 0; last year at Philadelphia Lincoln defeated Howard 13 to 7 The teams were well balanced, splendidly coached, and the record-breaking crowd were favored with the greatest athletic treat in Negro collegiate history. The game was played at the American League Park. The day was made memorable by reunion parties of Howard and Lincoln "grade." Wednesday night University officials gave a dinner in the new dining hall in honor of the colored newspaper men from all parts of the country, who came to report the game. Other events for the entertainment of the graduates and friends of the two schools were arranged for, including a banquet given by the Howard Alumni Association in honor of alumni who had come to witness the athletic prowess of the eleven of their alma mater. When the whistle blew for the kickoff the eyes of nearly 15,000 persons were centered on the eleven of Howard and Lincoln, which faced each other on the gridiron. In spite of the early hour for which the game was movement that has come from the home, and any movement that emanates from the home is a movement that is bound to live. I say to you, stand to your gums, keep up the enthusiasm, keep up the work and don't stop until Africa has been redeemed, for that man is ours. Africa is ours, it is ours from the Mediterranean crystal waves to Cape Colony's silvery foam. It is ours by the homes that deck the land; it is ours by the pathways trod. Africa is ours by the gift of God and, being ours we have sworn to weave the death robe around and how the death block for anybody or anything that stands in our way. Africa must be redeemed and the colors of the red, the Black and the green must float in the valley of the Nile (large appliance.) Hon G. O Marke Spoake The next speaker was Hon. (L) T. Marke, Supreme Deputy and chairman of the delegation to the League of Nations conference, Mr Marke said Last time I had the occasion to speak to you was on Thanksgiving Day, when we were advertised to speak as members of the delegation that went to Europe for the purpose of accomplishing certain things in the interest of the organization. My speech was necessarily dry because I had to confine myself closely to manuscript and for good reason—because when I came back to New York I understand the was a great deal of criticism about this delegation. Some people said we would probably be doing time, some suggested that we would become waiters in some hotel and some said we would be sniffing about the buildings of the League of Nations without entering. No I thought it was necessary for friends and foes alike to listen to official documents that we had in our possession and which in course of time will be published, because these documents are very important. The Raco Represented in International Politics For the first time in the history of this race, as far as I know, the race has been represented in international politics. As you are aware the League of Nations is the highest expression of human endeavor for the creation of peace throughout the length and breadth of the world. So we went there in the interest of peace to see whether they would take our petition and consider it favorably. I went the length and told you how after dangling with the Secretariat and the League of Nations we got in at the back door when they expected us through the front door, and our petition is now part and parcel of the official documents of the League of Nations. I further told you that that petition was calculated amongst every member of the League of Nations, high and low, great and scheduled great crowds came to Washington by special trains from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, Chicago, Wilmington, Baltimore, Richmond and Norfolk, and automobile parties from cities in Georgia, North Carolina South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. The largest and most representative group over to witness this annual athletic event between the two schools was present Partisans of Both Schools on Edge The partisans of Howard and Lincoln were on edge. Particularly was this true since the "Blue and White" warriors had a defeat visited upon them by Hampton during the present football season. Apparently Howard's loss quickened interest in the Thanksgiving Day game. Notwithstanding the fact that Lincoln lost to Hampton, every one felt sure that both Lincoln and Howard had held back something, neither having so far extended themselves. They were not wrong in their guess. Perhaps the most hotly contested game ever fought between the two schools was wittened on Thanksgiving Day in Washington Howard Men Primed for Battle This year Howard enthusiasts had opportunity to see "Bull Dog" Williams, Howard's famous left and, in action, in the 1920 classic made a forty-yard run from the kick-off for a touchdown, and who was out of the game played at Philadelphia last year on account of a broken leg sustained in the Howard-West Virginia game. Captain Williams had, already displayed his old-time prowess this year by making a sixty-yard run for a touchdown in the Howard-North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College game. The unfailing toe of Howard's veteran pilot, "Cute" Carter, was in action in the Thanksgiving Day game. Quarterback Carter was in best form --- small end and that it is left with you as members of this organization to see to it that the thing is carried further. I mentioned the manner of procedure by which they were trying to debar our entrance into the League of Nations and how we frustrated the endeavors of the who tried to keep us out. Now we are in and it is for us to shoulder the burden of seeing it through. I told you further that for two years some petitioners from Asia and Europe had sent petitioners and their representatives had been knocking at the doors of the League of Nations without result and we went there and after three weeks were able to get a petition in over the heads of 3,500 other petitioners. It is for you to judge whether we have done anything worthy or not. For two years some of the powers of Europe, great and small have been knocking at the door of the League of Nations, yet we were able to carry out our mission namely, to get our petition placed on record to be dealt with in subsequent meetings of the League of Nations. I think we must thank God and take courage. As delegates the four of us went to Philadelphia on Friday night and addressed Philadelphia and enthusiastic audiences there on Friday and Saturday nights. I told them last night that mine was a very pitiful task wherever I went because I had to present dry facets. At this point the speaker digressed to narrate the events in connection with the trip thread beginning on August 30 when he sailed from New York on the ship La France, after a hearty send off by the ladies of the Motor Corps, who recorted him to the ship. These ladies he said, wore their uniforms and attracted much attention on the ship every one wanting to know what and who they represented. He explained to some of them that they presented the Negroes of the world who were tired of being ruled by other people and had made up their minds that they are going to rule themselves, and that he was going to Europe to present the idea to the League of Nations for restoration of their land to them, that they could govern themselves. The Americans on board, Mr. Marte said, were very affable and wished them godpeed and that we would get our land. The Frenchmen who were on board were also in accord with the mission, but the Englishmen were not very friendly disposed toward him. However, he was treated with great respect on the ship, and landed in France on the night of September 8, where he met the other three delegates and they repaired to their hotel to make their plans. On the following Monday they departed for Switzerland, and on the 12th they began their work of sending messages and writing letters, and then they got into the thick of the fight and then they got into the League of Nations "I will say for the information of those who sneered at us," said Mr Marke "that not only did we get prominent seats in the League of Nations but whenever we entered the policeman standing at the door always gave us a military salute There is a bit of important news I should like to tell you. I met two men over there who are very greatly interested in The Negro World, and I have been assured that if we can get the Executive Council to sanction a proposal made The Negro World will more than double its circulation. Furthermore there is a great organization of white people over there which is looking after the interests of ALL CLASSIC; OWARD TAKE CITY when he appeared on the gridiron to face the "Lincoln Lions." In the backfield for Howard there was Molson, Doneghey and Contee. The playing of these men was a credit to the Blue and White. Dennis Smith, Howard's left guard, whose consistent good playing has won the admiration of his team-mates, took his place in the line and played a great game. There was also the old war horse, Crawford, left tackle for Howard. CAN YOU DRIVE Do You Know the Details?

They intend to come to America next year and visit this organization, and I hope this organization will be powerful and strong enough to entertain them in a manner that will conserve them how powerful we are. At the league they have what is called a Maudates Commission, and they said if we as an organization would come forward with proposals and would recommend a competent man they would have no hesitation in accepting him as a member of the Maudates Commission. That is a very valuable and important thing—the opportunity of having a member of our race included in the League of Nations. It is a step forward, and I hope that when next you send your delegation to the League of Nations they will be able to push forward the petition we have there. The petition could not be dealt with because it got in at the nineteenth hour last year at this time no one thought of sending a petition to the League of Nations. However, we have been there and got our petition in over the heads of 3,500 other petitions which are still waiting there, and if we will have back home and perseverance there is no doubt but that we will accomplish what we are after.

Fully 6,000 people—not only members of the association, but people from all walks of life—packed the great auditorium and accorded a welcome that beepoke a full appreciation of the important mission which these ambassadors were sent to perform in behalf of the race, and which to their credit they have fulfilled. Negro liberty. I thank them heartily for the splendid service they have rendered to the Provisional Government of Africa and to the Negro race at large by their attendance at and success before the League of Nations as our representatives. I have been informed by cable dispatch this morning that the British Mascadie Government has just executive orders abolishing slavery in former German East Africa. This is due to the delegation's splendid representations before the League. With the kind assistance of Monisteur Bellegarde, the mission has been a success. We have partially liberated our countrymen in East Africa. The day is just approaching when they shall be liberated throughout the continent. Three cheers for the delegation! Three cheers for Monisteur Bellegarde! The discussion consisting of Hon G O. Marke chapman Hon James O'Meath) Hon William L. Sherrell Hon Jens J. Adam was the signature of all eyes and when each rose to speak he was greeted with round after round of deafening applause that literally shook the rafters of the building. However optimistic the audience may have been in anticipation of the good tidings which the defeates brought their fondest hopes were exceeded when from the lion of the defeates they received the cheering messages of their success at the league conference. Their reports disclosed that notwithstanding the difficulties encountered they had succeeded in obtaining for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for the race the recognition of the world powers and presented to them the petition drafted by the convention presenting the claims of the Negro to certain parts of Africa and praying for a chance to prove his ability to govern himself and guide his own destinies. Such a worthy achievement will stand to the overlapping credit of the association and its leader Hon. Marcus Garvey, who it was that conceived the idea. No better choice of men could have been made to undertake the delicate task which the mission involved than the men who composed the delegation—a task which called for the tact and diplomacy of statusmen—and these delegates have acquitted themselves nobly and have made history for the race that will illorni its pages for ages to come. The arrangements made for the meeting were quite in keeping with the dignity of the occasion, and the appearance in full strength of all the uniformed units of the organization, including the Legion, the Black Cross Nurses, the Motor Corps and the Ladies of the Royal Court, together with a splendid musical program rendered by the choir some special solos and the Universal Band, made the meeting a great success, which will long be remembered by all who were present. It was unfortunate that the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey was unable to be present, but he sent a telegram from Cincinnati, Ohio, conveying greetings to the delegation. The telegram was read by the chairman of the meeting, Hon. G. E. Carter, and was the signal for a spontaneous outburst of applause. It read as follows. "Please convey to the chairman and members of the delegation to the League of Nations my heartiest welcome to Liberty Hall, the cradle of Backaches! try Sloan's Relieves spreness by warming and circulating blood Stop those dull, insistent aches, by relieving the painful congestion. Sloan's does this. Without rubbing, it quickly perforates the skin, emulating the circulation to and through it. Congestion is reduced, spreness allayed, the pain relieved. Sloan's relieving sorce, aching sensation, behinches the pain of congestion, swelling, cold. Breaks up cold in chest. Nope, eutering—whatever congestion rores pain. Sloan's Limbiment-kills pain! Negro liberty. I thank them heartily for the splendid service they have rendered to the Provisional Government of Africa and to the *jegro* race at large by their attendance at and success before the League of Nations as our representatives. I have been informed by cable dispatch this morning that the British Mandatory Government has just issued executive orders abolishing slavery in former German East Africa. This is due to the delegation's splendid representations before the League. With this information, the judge indeed the mission has been a success. We have partially liberated our countrymen in East Africa. The day is just approaching when they shall be liberated throughout the continent. Three cheers for the delegation! Three cheers for Monsieur Bellegarde." Hon Vernal J. Williams was chosen to deliver the address of welcome, and did so in a manner that won for himself new laurels as an orator. Seldom has Mr. Williams spoken to greater advantage. He rose to heights of eloquence as he spoke of the importance of the mission from which the delegates had returned and expressed in behalf of the organization the gratitude which was felt toward them. "It was unfortunate," he said, "that he could not say to them 'Welcome home,' but we have this one consolation, that somewhere, some day in the future, when our delegates go to the council of the world and return, somewhere an inhouse, we will say to them 'Welcome home,' with a full realization of fact that we have a home to which they may go. For the present we will say, in the words of our beloved President General, 'Welcome back to Liberty Hall, the cradle of liberty.' (Great applause!) After a wonderful peroration Mr. Williams concluded by saying: "Gentlemen, you could come back to us on no better day than on Thanksgiving day. We are thankful, indeed, that the Negro, breaking away from the benten path of oppression and slavery, has got the new vision of this new age, has got the vision of liberty and independence. Thankful we are that our race has been blessed by men of your type who could go out and stand before the nations of the world and preach the gospel of Negro liberty and then come back to us standing beneath the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green without a stripe that is scarred, without a blur or a blot." The official report was delivered by Hon. O. M. Marke, who went into all the details attending the visit of the delegation, which report will be published in a later edition of The Negro World. The other delegates spoke entertainingly of the success of the delegation and especially pleasing was the address of Mr. Berrill, who took the audience with him in thought to some of the historic places he had visited in Europe and otherwise imparted an inspiration towards the cause of the U. N. I. A. which created a profound impression. All the delegates were at one in declaring that in Europe a great respect was entertained for the movement and its leader. Among the medical们 who were seated on the platform were: Hon. Clifford Bourne, High Chancellor; Hon. T. W. Anderson, Second Assistant Secretary General; Sir John E. Bruce, Hon. J. B. Yearwood, Assistant Secretary General; T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the Negro Times; II. Vinton Plummer, Director of Publicity. The following ladies of the Royal Court also occupied seats on the rostrum: * The Empress of Naomi—Mrs. E. L.

BROWN This is a question which has been exercising the minds of men for quite a while now, and the arguments to the affirmative have been advanced so frequently by the detractors of the Negro that even some of our own race men seem to be visibly affected by these wicked, vile and inadmissible utterances, hardly realising that those bursts are the result of public-lite propaganda to besign the minds of the Negroes and to bring out into actual realization the exact physical counterpart of the thoughts they entertain. i.e. inferiority. But, also for the false traductors and those overroids of earth whose superprestige is now being threatened with extinction by the rising tide of consciousness among the darker peoples of the world, they failed to remember that, as the poet says, "the best laid plans of mice and men gang of argy." And so it is with the plans laid so carefully to confuse the minds of the Negroes and to make them think that they are an inferior race and people. We Negroes, like many other people, have had a long sleep of centuries, but we have been jolted out of that state of lethargy into which we had been julied by the hypocritical platitudes of those same supermen of a day now fading into the limbo of forgotten things, and they, too, have been shaken and have rubbed off the soils from their eyes to find that the very people whom they had coaxed themselves into believing were inferior were developing among themselves some of the traits of the same supermen who would lord it over God's creation just as if they had received a divine injunction from the Creator, when that He said: "Let us make man in the flesh, and need only to place our arguments before us, unbiased public and then awaken their decision as to whether in truth the Negro is an inferior race or whether the things they have shown, and are showing, and are preparing to show to all mankind stamp them as good men, true men, noble men, with potential abilities like any others of the sons of men. Out of the joins of the Negro came such men and women as Nimrod, Jethro, the Pharaohs, Candace, Balkis and countless others; and even Solomon in all his glory did not escape the drop of Negro blood in his veins. Chief of them all was Jesus Christ. Then there came Hannibal, who climbed the hitherto unsurmountable obstacles in the paths of generals and armies, and led his troops to victory on the plains of Italy; Alexandria Dumas, father and son; Pushkin, the great Russian; Terence, the famous Roman poet; Toussaint L'Ouverture, Phyllis Wheatley, Frederick Doughan, Booker T. Washington, W. B. Du Bols and Marcus Garvey. These have challenged, and some of them are still challenging, the admiration of the world; and may we not ask our detractors to show to a fair and impartial world wherein do these lack the principles and powers which mark great men? Where is there in all the annals of men a greater array of men and women who. Have done more for humanity to uplift, to ennoble, to inspire, to fire the imagination and to show them the way to of amethyst jewels and pearls, with pearl chin strap. Duchesse of Timbucoe—Mrs. Annie Mitchell—in a costly town of lamentry, richly embroidered, white lace, coralous. glory and ascendments? Does it not also mean that the race which was able to produce such men, which has produced thousands of others whose names are inscribed on the pages of history, as well as thousands of others whose kinship with the Negro race, of which they are a part, has been queued up for the sake of honour, of and because it suited the overbrows of earth to try to add them to their array of great men, can not in any way be inferior? Then there are millions of unsung heroes, whose names do not appear in print or on the pages of the dim, historic past, but who have contributed their quotas to the advancement of the human race and the glory of God. It need not be reiterated here that this race of Negroes led the way in the early days of earth's civilization, and taught men the arts and sciences which they now so covetously cling to the bosoms of their race today. Where, I demand, has the white race, or any other race for that matter, given to the world a greater genius than our Eichel, and do they not realize that the much-heralded conquest of Napoleon Bonaparte over the forces of nature in the march across the Alps did not originate in his brain, but was only a replica of what a Negro general had done for his and the world's admiration hundreds of years before? Can justice be so foreign from the minds of men that they will refuse to concede the truth when they see it? I refuse to believe that mankind, created in the image and likeness of Qg, has fallen so far into the abyss of selfishness and greed that they will continue to hug to their bosoms that do not belong to their race. I believe that it is only the passing hallucination of the hour, the period of justification, the century that men's minds are being shaped for the great eras of accomplishment that lie ahead of the earth, and that they will, in a day not far distant, give, not only to the Negro, but to all of the sons of men, the due amount of justice and good will which is the theatre by right divine. Then, too, if the belief that the Negro is of an inferior race is sincere, why the constant questioning as to what the Negro is doing, and what is the meaning of the various organizations of the Negro peoples of the world? If it is a truth which they give out to all mankind in reference to the Negro, why, then, the need of these acts of legislation with a view to take from the Negro even that small, very small, measure of opportunity which he seems to have? There is something in this deeper than the mere statement of inferiority which is given off concerning the Negro from time to time, since, notwithstanding all that is being said and done, it is found that the Negro is making greater progress than ever before; and that he is coming to the front of civilization and world organization with an irrepressible will, and advancing at such an alarming rate along all lines that those who once strutted over the ways of earth, "monarchs of all they surged" (or thought they were), are having all kinds of nightmares. Twin, finally, let us urge upon the world of mankind who will resolve themselves into an impartial jury the necessity of studying this case calmly and compassionately, countering the facts which are slutting the heart of the earthly whores of earth, then look out, on the present generation of Negroes strong, while white, noble, hopeful, courageous and undamped, helpless, in their God and the power of His might; and laboring mankind for the mistening of the age when they shall again help to shape the destiny of the nations of the world, their hearts aglow with a holy fire, their eyes lighted with the visions of a glorious future, and their bodies, tingling with expectation, and wholly longing for the moment to come when preparation shall be ended and they shall be called upon to play their part in the greatest drama that has ever stirred creation; yes, and then let that jury of mankind decide whether or not the Negro race is inferior. Our souls are filled in this twentieth century with a living inspiration and a holy urges for the expression of ourselves in the way the Great Creator intended. Our hearts throb with expectancy and beat high with hope. By organization and by preparation we are moving steadily, surely forward to the goal, but the movement now is but a spark of the great conflagration of souls which is destined to spike the Negro peoples of the world in a not distant day, and as a consequence of which they will show to mankind the way to power, peace and prosperity. It matters not to the Negro peoples today how much our detractors may yell themselves hoarse, "We are going forward," like a great and mighty river rushing onwards to the sea, where, in the ocean of freedom and expansion, we will help to usher in the age of truth, light, right, daring and attainment and show to the fullest extent the potential powers of the Negro scul. And we have sworn that "The blood of Afric's cons may flow On many a sodden field. But they are fired by freedom's glew And never shall they yield. Let lightnings flash, and cannons roar, Ethiopia shall be free. And we shall call our gallant ships On every rolling sea." So then, fellow Negroes, let us gird our loins and be ready. Work in the present day and hour as then never have done before; so shall we be able to face the future boldly, fearing no foe. BARGAINS IN Jewelry, Watches, Diamonds WE BUY OLD GOLD AND SILVER A.

The School of Liberal Arts has been placed on the approved list by the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, and thus enters the sisterhood of great American educational institutions. With this new rating and that of the Dental College, this year has seen marked advance in the scholastic standing of Howard University. With the opening of the autumn quarter, 1922, the School of Public Health and Hygiene, which had its beginning in the Department of Physical Education, will be an important factor in the life of the university. It hopes to speed the gospel of health; social and economic improvement to the 31,000,000 colored people in this country in order that they may become a greater asset to America and more thoroughly typify her ideals of useful citizenship. There will be various departments that it may reach the widest possible scope, i.e., for graduates in medicine, for graduates of recognized colleges and universities, Department of Nursing, Department of Social Service and Department of Physical Education. The Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit of the university passed into its third year of existence. In February, 1923, and award of reserve officer commissions as second. Instantants were made at commencement by the Assistant Secretary of War to seventeen young men of the university. This marks the first time in the history of the United States that colored men have received such commissions from the War Department. On June 6, 1927, the laying of the cornerstone and the dedication of the new building for the dining hall and the Department of Home Economics occurred. The money for this building, $101,000, was appropriated by the government. The building will be officially opened at the beginning of the autumn quarter, 1929. 135TH ST.

Your Excellency:—I am indebted to the courtesy and kindness of his Excellency, Monleur Rappard for the liberty that I, an utter stranger, am now taking in thus trespassing on your Excellency's invaluable time. I am the chairman (president) of a delegation of Negroes elected at the Third International Convention of the Negro People's of the World to represent the interests of those people at this year's Assembly of the League of Nations (La Societe des Nations). A few days ago our delegation enjoyed the privilege of interviewing him, when I was enabled to explain to him the object of our mission to Geneva. Monstère Rappard, who spoke to us in high terms of your Excellency's goodness of heart and genuine benevolence toward our race and its aspirations, fortified the belief in me that in you we should find a sympathetic friend and a wise counsellor. Thus encouraged I venture to approach your Excellency with th' hope that you may grant us an interview at a time and place convenient to yourself in order that we may explain the object of our mission and profit by your wisdom. With every assurance of the profound regard of our delegation, I have the honor to be, Your Excellency's obedient servant, (Signed) G. O. MARKE, Chairman of Delegation.

Geneva, Sept. 16, 1922. Bir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of September 16 and of the accompanying petition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League to the League of Nafong. When your delegation approached the Secretary General of the League of Nations with the request that it might be given an opportunity of placing its views before the League of Nations, he informed you that, on account of the pressure of urgent work entailed by the meetings of the council and the Assembly of the League, he was, to his regret, unable to receive you. He added that any colleague, Mr. Colban, and I would be at your disposal for an interview. Accordingly, we had the pleasure of meeting today two delegates, Mr. William Le Man Sherill and Mr. Jean Joseph Adam. These gentlemen, on behalf of your organisation, expressed two requests: first, that the League of Nations might entrust the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League with a mandate over one or more of the former German colonies, and, second, that a Negro might be appointed to the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations. I have the honor hereby briefly to confirm the declarations which I made to your delegates on these two points. It was pointed out, in the first place, that as Germany had, by the Treaty of Versailles, ceded her rights to her overseas possessions to the principal Allied and Associated Powers, the League of Nations could not consider any request concerning the disposal of these territories. As a matter of fact, the administration of all the former German colonies had been entrusted by the representatives of the principal Allied and Associated Powers to certain states which are administering them as mandatories on behalf of the League of Nations in accordance with the principles laid down in Article 22 of the covenant of the league. The Permanent Mandates Commission consists of nine members who have been chosen by the Council of the League of Nations for an indefinite period and should a candidate of the Negro race possessing the necessary qualifications be presented and authoritatively recommended, I am sure the Council of the League of Nations would not fall to consider the application made on his behalf with the same spirit of impartiality which they would bring to the consideration of all concurrent proposals. I must add that I have written you so fully on these two points because your two delegates expressly requested me to make the situation quite clear to you. I have the honor to be, sir. Your obedient servant, for the Secretary General, (Signed) WM. R. RAPPARD, Director of the Mandates Section. G. O. MARKE, Esquire Chairman of the delegation of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Hotel Sulse, Place Cornavin, Geneva Hon. G. O. Marks to Sir Eric Drummond Hotel Sulse, Place Cornavin, Geneva, Sept. 20, 1922. Secretary General, League of Nations I have the honor to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your letter No. 1-21189-21189 of the 16th inst., in which you expressed regret at your inability, through pressure of work, personally to receive our delegation, but informed us that you had, for this purpose, requested Monsieur Rappard, Director of the Mandates Section, and Mr. Colban, Director of the Administrative Commissions and Minorities Section of the Secretariat, to represent you. In reply, I beg leave to inform you that I received a letter, dated September 16, from Monsieur Rappard informing me that he had that day met two of our delegations to wit, Mr. William Lé Van Sherrill and Mr. Jean Joseph Adam, and that these gentlemen made certain requests which he pointed out to them could not be considered by the League of Nations. I may remark for your information that my letter, to which Monsieur Rappard's is a reply, was a purely private and informal communication, written to him on the advice of a friend and dispatched before your letter of the 18th inst. came to hand. Had I received your letter earlier, I would undoubtedly have awaited Monsieur Rappard's official communication, conveying your request to him and Mr. Colban in respect of the proposed interview. It thus happened that, through this unfortunate contempts, Monsieur Rappard deemed his colloquy with Mr. Adam and Mr. Sherrill as official conversation conducted on your behalf, while the latter gentlemen, who were blissfully innocent of the contents of your letter, regarded the conversation as of a purely informal and private character. You will hence note that the interview sought by me, for which you kindly made arrangements through proxies, has never taken place. I am, therefore, respectfully requesting you kindly to exercise your good offices in respect of the petition of the Negro peoples of the world, so that it may, without further delay, be submitted to the assembly of the League of Nations. Should you require them I would gladly furnish you with as many more copies of the petition as you may deem necessary. I have the honor to be, air, Your obedient servant. (Signed) G. O. MARKE Chairman of Delegation. I have the honor, on behalf of the Secretary-General of the League of Nations, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of September 21. I regret to inform you that the rules of procedure adopted for the distribution of documents to the Assembly will not permit the secretariat to communicate officially to the members of the assembly the petition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. May I add that I am at your entire disposal for an interview with you or your delegates should you wish to place any further considerations before the league or should you desire to obtain any further information regarding your requests. I have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient servant. (Signed) RAPPARD. G. O.

Ark.—I acknowledge with thanks receipt of twenty copies of The Negro World, just received a few minutes ago, and which have been sold. Being here myself only temporarily, I secured as agent here for the World the popular manager and owner of one of the finest drug stores to be found anywhere in the country, Mr. R. W. Cowser. Hereafter The Negro World may be had at the Onuachita Drug Co. 301 East Washington street, Camden, Ark. Mr. Cowser has been in the drug business here for a number of years, and his efficiency in handling drugs, together with his polite manner and very kind demeanor toward everybody have won him a standing of which he can justly feel proud. I can say for Mr. Cowser that he has made good in the medical world. As evidence of this fact, Mr. Cowser, during the eight or nine years that he has been in business here, has a stock that will value about $10,000. A more tangible evidence of his success and business ability is the fact that he purchased last month the smedac building, one of the finest brick structures in town, for $8,500. Mr. Cowser will begin transferring his large stock of goods and fixtures to his new home about the first of the month, and will be in full readiness to serve his thousands of patrons in their holiday purchases. Associated with him in his new quarters will be Dr. I. A. Clark, who will have on the second floor very spacious quarters comprising waiting room, consultation room and operating room, which will enable him to care for his large practice in the way he has long desired. Then there will be the Modern Order of Maglans, a young order, but already showing great strength and for the future bespeaking profound results for the race and for its members. Mr. Emmett Wheeler is the Supreme Visier, and is a young man of high standing and great ability Fortunately for Mr. Wheeler, he has associated with him in this great work as S. K. of R. Dr. H. H. King, a man of many years business experience Being an ex-banker, he is therefore well fitted for the position he he'ds.

C., TO RECORDS OF JUSTICE TO STAMM Other Governors Are Interested in Making Law and Order Country WASHINGTON Nov. 19 Gov John H. Paterson of Louisiana is en route to Washington for a conference tomorrow morning with President Harding and院 at the Department of Justice to discuss cooperation between State and Federal governments for stamping out the growing menace of the Ku Klux Klan. Other Governors are understood to be interested in the movement and probably will confer with the President later on. While Governor Parker is said to be capable and thoroughly willing to handle the situation in his own State, despite recent outrages attributed to the Klan, the theory is that the invisible Empire must be struck at a whole, because its ramifications have assumed nationwide scope. State Law Called Null The Washington Post this morning printed a copyright dispatch from a state correspondent in Baton Rouge stating that Governor Parker would inform Federal authorities tomorrow that State law has virtually come to a stop, and would ask the United States Government to take over administration of the law in certain portions of the State. Official Washington, including members of the Senate and House delegations from Louisiana, were amazed at the dispatch, but later the Congressmen heatedly denied the Governor had such intention or else disclaimed all information as to his trip. Other reasons for the mission were advanced by Louisianaans as including the conference on the boll weevil at the Department of Agriculture on Tuesday and waterways legislation, in which that State is interested. None of these explained why Governor Parker was bringing his Attorney-General, and both have made reservations at a local hotel. Wrote to White House There was an exchange of letters between the Governor and the White House ten days or two weeks ago, and it was learned at the White House the letters related to the Ku Klux Klan. White House officials said the appointment with Governor Parker was listed to tomorrow. Others in touch with Louisiana affairs said Gov. Parker intended to discuss co-operative warfare against the Klan, not use chaos exists or the Inferno Empire dominates the State, or havete over Louisiana might BISHOP L E. GUINN E. II. I. C. R.

(Review la do would be discounted by Ku Kluxian in adjoining sovereignties continually flowing over the lines. Klanamen, it is said, burned a man at the stake in Louisiana and ordered another away from his home town Representative Stirred Representative R J Wilson (Dem. La.) considered the report that Louisiana was powerless exaggerated. "I am just back from Louisiana" said he. "I know of nothing which would warrant such statements. They are a reflection on the State of Louisiana. I do not know that Morehouse Parish is the worst place in the State. They had some little trouble there and quite a number of newspaper stories were written about it. It is very easy to get a lot of feeling stirred up. The Ku Klux is in Louisiana just as it is in New York and Boston, but the report of conditions there does our State quite an injustice." Mr Wilson added that Gov Parker is a strong executive, capable of handling the affairs of the State. He and Senator Broussard (Dem. La.) denied knowledge of the governor's mission. The Department of Justice started an investigation of the Ku Klux when The World made its revelations but the inquiry fagged out after the House Rules Committee began its hearing and summoned national Klan officers. LINCOLN AND HOWARD FOOTBALL CLASSIC LINCOLN AND HOWARD FOOTBALL CLASSIC (Continued from page 2) And Iolton, center, Doakos, right guard; Nurse, right tackle, and Long, right end. Moward Losses to Lincoln in 13 to 12 Score The "Football Classic of the Year" began with the kickoff by Howard. Upon receiving the ball Lincoln brought it up field for 25 yards, but afterwards failed to make gains and punts. Howard received ball on 40-yard line. Doneghy of Howard gained 12 yards, registering first down in game. The ball was again given to Doneghy, who took it for live yards and then for 13 yards for another down. Ball was lost on Lincoln's 14-yard line. Lincoln fumbled and ball was recovered by Melton for Howard. Within short period Howard brought ball up to Lincoln's 1-yard line, where it was lost on downs. Lincoln punted to 40-yard line, where Carter fumbled and ball was recovered by Skinker. Doneghy intercepted forward pass. Howard made another first down by short pass and line plunge. Ball went over to Lincoln on 20-yard line on pass quaidale. Johnson of Lincoln fumbled and Doneghy recovered First quarter ended with ball in Howard's possession on Lincoln's 33-yard line. The second quarter began with a pass by Doneghy to Melton which netted 2 yards. Brown of Lincoln intercepted pass and ran for 40 yards. Conte intercepted pass on Howard's 30-yard line and ran 20 yards. Howard punted on fourth down Lincoln's ball on 20-yard line. Lincoln kicked out and Carter ran ball back for 14 yards. Howard punted. Lincoln's ball on 20-yard line. Byrd of Lincoln on fake play went through Howard's right guard for 70 yards for touchdown. Orudop registered the additional point by placement kick. First half ends with score. Lincoln 7. Howard 0. Howard started the second half with kickoff. Good gains were made by both teams during the third period. The quarter ended as a placement kick tried by Lincoln failed to register from Howard's 10-yard line. The "Blue and White" became more aggressive in the fourth quarter when Nurse blocked a Lincoln punt and Long recovered the ball and ran 20 yards to goal. Donoghy missed his kick for the extra point. Lincoln then forged ahead, McLean again crossing Howard's goal. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 but Phillips did not register the extra point. Then Howard began a drive that carried the ball to Lincoln's 5-yard line, from which place Melton of Howard crashed through for a touchdown two minutes before the game ended. Carter tried for the goal that would have lauded the score, but his effort failed. Lincoln was unable to stop the determined Howard attack beyond the 10-yard line, but the visitors defense except on one occasion, was superb in the shadow of their goal. Howard made twenty first downs to six for Lincoln, but the Pennsylvania boys several times kept Howard back when the ball was in Howard's possession and their goal was threatened. Howard outplayed the Lincoln team decisively in running attack, but never was in the lead. Failure to add points by kicks after touchdown cost Howard its game with Lincoln. The Blue and White' eleven matched the Orange and Blue' touchdown for touchdown but went down to a 13 to 12 defeat. One interesting and unique feature which was added to the affairs connected with the football classic of the year" was the dinner given in Howard University's new $201,000 dining hall to the representa yer of the leading colored newspapers of the United States who were present to report the football game. There were some forty or more newspapers represented at the dinner. Another feature this year was the placing of a $3,000 blanket rain insurance policy on the 'annual classic'. This protection thus assured for the financial side of the football game made it possible for the management to spare nothing in preparing properly for the game. Aside from the intercept exhibited in the "football classic," Washington was socially ablaze from Wednesday, November 29, to the late eve of December 2. Beginning Wednesday evening with the dances by the Bachelor-Benedict Club and other groups, and followed on Thanksgiving Day after the game by the two popular social affairs given at the Collisum, Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue, for the benefit of the Department of Physical Education of Howard University, at which prominent matrons and misses served as patronesses, and on Friday by the receptions and dances of the Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi and other fraternity and social groups, the days spent in Washington during Thanksgiving Day week were full to overflowing UNIVERSAL AFRICAN BLACK CROSS NURSES' CHILD WELFARE DEPT. By CLARA MORGAN, R. N. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column Address Child Welfare Department, Negro World, 56 West 135th St New York, N. Y. When a mother is unable to suckle her baby and has to resort to bottle feeding it is absolutely necessary for her to obtain a milk formula from her doctor or a milk station, since the proportion of the food principles in cow's milk differs from that in human milk. It is also well for her to remember that a healthy baby should gain in weight after the first week of life from four to eight ounces weekly until he is six months old. Armed with the milk formula, the mother collects the necessary equipment for the modification of her baby a milk—bottles, funnel, a two-quarter pitcher and a graduate or measuring glass, spoons, fork and small package of sterile cotton. Take bottle of milk from ice box wash the top with boiled water and remove paper cap with a sterilized fork into a graduate which has been boiled she measures the amount of milk required for the day's feeding (twenty-four hours). The milk is then poured into the pitcher, which has been boiled. The required amount of cold water or barley water or any other cereal water as per formula is also measured in the graduate and added to the milk in the pitcher. Sugar of milk or cane sugar as per formula measured with a sterilized spoon is also put into pitcher and stirred well with a sterilized spoon. Have as many bottles sterilized as feedings necessary for the baby in twenty-four hours. Fill them with the amount necessary for one feeding and stopper with pledgets of sterile cotton. Wire racks made purposely to hold baby bottles may be bought for a small sum. The feedings carefully placed in this wire rack should be put on ice until needed. Methods of procedure for home pasteurization will be given in our next issue. TO THE POETESS You speak—and glad children Coase playing in list.

ESTE Weekly Sermon By Q. EMONEI CARTER Subject "How to live with others." Text "As you would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" -Luke 6:31 One outstanding feature of our Muster's teaching was its simplicity of language and illustration. A workingman himself he knew and used the speech of the common people. Thus the multitudes who followed him were not puzzled by difficult and unusual words. His illustrations were likewise drawn from everyday life. A great truth such as the fatherhood of God. He taught by reference to the grass and flowers. He made his ideas of sun and repentance clear by telling the life story of a wayward son. He drove home the necessity of perseverance in prayer by a tale of how a determined man succeeded in arousing his weary neighbor at midnight. Such things come within the experience of high and low alike. Told in simple language, their truth reached every listener. Following this example of Christ, let us ask ourselves the following questions to determine if it is easy to live with others. I Are you loyal or do you agree with whomever you happen to be talking to? Can your friends be sure that once out of earshot you will not enlarge on their fallings? Do you stalk to your friends when they are under a cloud? Are you as keen as a bloodhound in finding fault? Are you as eager to point out the good points in other people or the cheerful elements in the situation as you are to complain about the defeats? Are you bossy? If you are the chances are you have never suspected it. You should better ask your friends, who know you best. Our own way naturally appears to us to be so infinitely the beat way that we must on being it. Are you magnanimous? Do you get around carrying petty apites in order to get even with somebody? Are you one of those who say they forgive but cannot forget, and carry around a fresh memory of an evil long after it has happened? Are you vain? Is there always a part of your mind which keeps asking, "What kind of impression am I making?" Are you unselfish? Can you give up what belongs to you and share it with others without appearing to be "Little Jack, Horner," saying to yourself in self-satisfaction, "What a good boy am I!" These are a few of the questions that will determine how to live with others. It will also decide how much Christianity goes into your daily life. 2 Put yourself into the other fel- The following benefits in aid of the Christmas fund of the Citizens' Christmas Cheer Committee to help Harlam poor families and orphans have been planned A prize whist and dance at the home of Mrs Julla Green 210 West 143d street, this Thursday evening, December 7.

Mr Thomas Mott Osborne spent six weeks in Auburn State Prison to learn how to begin his work in prison reform. He knew six weeks in a prison cell would teach him more than six years' reading about life there. We must learn to see both sides of every question. We must be able to see the negative as well as the positive side of every question that confronts us. It is a great art in living to be able to see how it looks to the other person. That was the fine art of Jesus, who looked with compassion on the multitudes because he could understand their hunger, their desires and their needs. When Walt Whitman was an army no one during the Civil War he said: "I do not ask the wounded person how he feels. I myself become the wounded person. That is the true Christian spirit. What presents us so often from understanding how the other person feels is that we are thinking all the time of ourselves. The vain, selfish connected person never learns anything. 3. Self control. Put yourself in harms. If we are to live peaceably and happily with others, we must curb our individual desires so that they do not run loose among the lives of others, like a madman charging down the street with a pistol. It takes a great deal of self-control and self renunciation to be a cool christian in the home. It is not easy to remain courteous, no matter how you feel and to keep a radiant spirit under irritating circumstances. Thomas Carville did not master that much self-denial in his relations with his wife. Ah! I only had five minutes with her!" he said after her death, only to assure her that I loved her through all that. We must have self-control in our lives in the home school and business. Show thyself a friend and you will make friends. Jesus blazed the path in this direction. Let us follow in the wake. Many people pay about as much attention to the folks around them as they do to the trees along the sidewalk. It is that cold, loveless, unresponsive attitude toward other people against which Jesus blazed in such hot indignation. Such an indifference is a deadly form of sin one of the most deadly forms. We cannot be in any sense disciples of Him to whom all men were dear if we go through life as though we were walking in our sheep, we must be quick to see the unapoken need that those about us have and try to meet it. A confederation of the white races of Africa is imperative to mature progress and development of its vast resources Far sighted Afrikanders are working earnestly for that end, notably General Smuts, who has done much to secure cohesion between the Dutch and English-speaking inhabitants. But forces of disintegration are still fermenting beneath the surface gear it safe to assume that because no disquieting dispatches have come from Johannesburg since the aide handling of the article of the strike revolt, that all is well with the Dark Continent. In fact, those who wish for an independent African Republic and those who would retain membership in a British Association of Nations are as hopelessly in opposition as the Republican irregulars and the Free Staters in the south of Ireland. Rhodeais has just refused by a large majority to join the South African Union preferring to leave the management of its affairs with a charitable company in London decidedly a reactionary movement. Rhodeais bids fair to be the Ulster of South Africa, should the rival factions there come to grieve. If the white races in Africa should ever engage in fratricidal warfare the historical records of Africa south of the equator, will not thereafter make pleasant reading for those who have faith in our present civilization. For a cry of far greater import has already made itself heard among the millions of half-savage aborigines—the cry of "Africa for the Africans"—an organized effort to stir up the colored races who surround the white settlers and if combined could sweep away altogether the broken remnants of now flourishing colonies—once those colonies tore down their one means of defense by the madness of civil war. Republicans and imperialists, radicals and reactionaries must combine for protection in the new racial war threatened by the latest propaganda of racial antagonism in Africa.

A. TOBIN, D.C., Ph.C. The first patient who received a chiropractic adjustment was Harvey Lillard a Negro. The incident, in brief, follows. He had been deaf seventeen years so much so that from the building where he was jailor he could not hear wagons moving or street cars rolling on the street. When asked how he became deaf, his explanation was as follows: 'While in a cramped stooped position I felt and heard something pop in my back immediately I went deaf.' To one who was observant a student that would be an accidental eye-opener and it was to Dr D D Palmer, who asked, 'What is the connection between the back and hearing in the ears?' He examined the back. By good fortune, the first case in which a spine was examined with that thought in view, a large bump was found The following consequential reasoning occurred. If there was no bump when the hearing was good, and the production of this bump destroyed hearing, why shouldn't the reduction of the bump restore hearing? The first attempt to correct the bump, what is now known as a subluxation, was then made. The patient was put upon a bench face down, and a shove-like movement given. The bump was reduced by the first three moves, and in three days hearing was restored. Harvey Lillard could hear a watch tick at the average distance you and I can today. The next question was, if the reduction of one bump in one man restored hearing, why won't similar bumps in other people produce deafness, and, if it does, why wouldn't the reduction of these bumps. In the same way restore their hearing. It was tried on others. By a peculiar series of circumstances the result did not come as readily in their cases, but eventually it came. Then the third question rose. If a bump in the back caused deafness, why not other parts of the spine produce other diseases? After a systematic series of investigations, covering years you have your chiropractic of today. Chiropractors assume that in consequence of malposition vertebral segments the openings between the vertebrae through which the spinal nerves pass are affected that in this way the nerves are impinged, in that such compression is the cause of the majority of diseases. This condition is called "subluxation" of the vertebral unit which means that the articular surfaces of these bone units are more or less out of alignment. To realign these bones, the chiropractor uses nothing but his bare hands to deliver a particular thrust thus releasing the pressure of harder substances from the nerve trunks to restore normal nerve tension to individual nerve fibers supplying any organ or tissue of the body. FALSE LEADERS While Negro visions are shadowed in vain Of the battlefield where the humble were slain. Where hope of justice was bitterly lost By black heroes that went across. Where they shed their precious blood each day For love, for justice, for the U.S.A. Yet our leaders are blind and cannot see. That Uncle Sam wants white supremacy. They go to worship God on high They come from church and make Him lie; God will return you to your land; They say you are only an American. They are truly worth their weight in gold. But cast in the streets as the prophets foretold; So watch and pray; as Jesus said. A liar of God is worse than dead. By all the signs of the times are seen The lost tribes of Israel, the Red, Black and Green; Our home was promised for which we seek to find! Woe unto them that are left behind. Many of our leaders go to college. Finish, then perish for the lack of knowledge. So before you follow a poisoned mind.

DIVISION PASTOR, FORMER ENEMY, JOINS U. N. L. A. RANKS By T. SOLAN JEMMETT Not so long ago at St. Philips Protestant Episcopal Church in New York city there was an assistant pastor who came out bitterly against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. At that time I thought it very ally and ill-advised of this young man, and could not see why he allowed his higher reason to pay bribe to petty jealousy, which I saw moved only by the subordinate position he held by others opposed to this movement. A few short months have brought him to reason. He has seen that per- sonal relationships even in the so- called Church of Christ can triumph over right and justice. He has learned that after all the Universal Negro improvement Association appeals to the right ideals of Negroes everywhere and that New York is not a bad place to try it out. In their anxiety to rally to the standard of this young man and to build him a church the same tenets which he loudly denounced are being used, those of thinking black and thinking in terms of justice without favor are being used by those who have withdrawn from the church they built to now support him. Everywhere conditions like this pastall. Churches are built and because of offence to other injustice these people or duplices of them separate to start all over again. I predict that the time is not far distant when all will come to see the power and practice gained by associating with a strong race organization which will, by its influence and its principles keep even the man of God light to his purpose and his duty to himself and his race. SUCCESSFUL HARVEST FESTIVAL. DIVISION 374 At 3 p.m. on Sunday November 19 the gala sounded and the service of a harvest festival began. It was conducted in the well known way to West Indies. Beginning with the opening ode of the association and prayer from our ritual followed by the reading of the title chapter of the念慈办 by Acting President R. V. Burrell. Followed by the singing of the Te Deum. The presiding officer welcomed the audience in the name of the U. N. A. in his usual encouraging way with an appeal for unity and support of the organization. The literary part of the program was assisted by Miss Beatrice Palmer Miss Lillis Master Vincent McCutty, Miss Doris Mae no and others. Mr J. A. Todd and Miss Beatrice Robinson also contributed a very appropriate duet. The attendance was very poor but the offerings represented the spirit of the many well-wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The service lasted about an hour and I went away with the feeling of having rice you enjoyed the afternoon. At the point in time resembled to participate in the mass meeting.

Russell and Mrs. Louise Osborne won the election of president and lady president. They were immediately installed into office Mr. J. A. Todd, executive secretary, and the entire staff assisted the installing master. Mr. D. H Campbell, in the installation ceremony. The obligation of their office was read by Installing Master D H Campbell. The office of first vice-president and that of first lady vice-president were then declared vacant. The newly elected officers in a few chosen remarks bowed their honest intentions to offinate in their office as best they possibly can adhering at all times to the rules and regulations of their office according to the regulations laid down in the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The meeting then came to its close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and Doxology thus ending a pleasant day. Respectfully submitted. JOEPH A. TODD. Executive Secretary Moron Dlv SAD DEATH OF MRS. MARY HAYES, SONGBIRD OF THE COLUMBUS DIVISION I regret to announce the very sad death of Mrs Mary Hayes, a warm and true member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in the Columbus Division. This unfortunate occurrence took place on Friday morning November 24 at her residence 35 West Maple Hill. Her son-in-law, James Wellion, visited her at 7 a.m. just after Mr Hayes had left home for his work. Wellion and his mother-in-law began quarrelling over some domestic affairs and without warning Wellion drew his razor and slashed the throat of Mrs Hayes from ear to ear. She was hurried to the hospital, but died shortly after she was admitted. Mrs Hayes was an earnest Christian and a devout member of her race. She was always ready to do something for the advancement of her race, and as a member of Columbus Division she would always gaden the hearts of the members by her splendid voice. For her beautiful singing she was termed The Bunghbird. Her funeral took place on Monday, November 27. The Division turned out in full force. Mrs. Hayes was a Black Cross Nurse, and the nurses were out in uniform, also the Legions and the Motor Corps. The palebearers were taken from the Motor Corps. A splendid wreath of flowers was given by the Division. The funeral service was held in the Refuge Baptist Church, where she was a devout member. The building was packed from end to end. Standing room was not available. Rev Hairston and Rev Griffin conducted the service, while the pastor acted as master of ceremonies. Several resolutions of sympathy were read, and Sir Robert Poston, the Secretary-General, who had just arrived in the city from New York, spoke with much feeling. He knew how hard it is for the Negro to adopt the white man's civilization and remain good. Such crimes would be almost impossible in Africa. Mr G. A. Christian also spoke words of condolence to the bereaved family. The effect that the different auxiliary forces had on the public at this funeral will never be erased. The U N I A is making itself felt in no uncertain manner in this city and men and women who never gave the movement a thought are joining up as fast as can be. Surely the U N I A. has come to city. Sir Robert Boston is here for the next two days. He comes on a very minor air mission, and we wish him much success. The news brought to him, himself and the Negro World—that the case against the President—general has been postponed indefinitely has given joy to all, and we feel confident that that case will ultimately be a natural death. The enunciation of the N A A C P. will have to dig up something better to convict our perilous leader.

N. A. Local No. 188, T. E. Smith, first vice-president of the division, thrilled an unusually large gathering of members and visitors, with a straight-forward, clean-cut and direct analysis of the origin and future of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The speaker had the privilege of addressing four white candidates—that were present, seeking the patronage of the colored voters on the approaching election. All of the candidates, on the conclusion of Mr. Smiths address paid the official a hearty compliment on his ability as a speaker Judge Tyrell, the first candidate to speak declared the remarks preceding his own, were worthy of any lawyer or preacher. Those unable to be present, missed an unusual bit of information and a splendid oratorical treat The juveniles are always good. Their recitations were "Stand by the U N L. A." "Marcus (Harvey, the Builder," and "Faith and Prayer." Each number showed the result of patient training. President J E. Crummer appealed to the membership to organize, and to stay united that the gigantic program might be realized. The Ladies' Division was requested to meet for the purpose of sewing and making preparation for the coming bazar Mrs. Ellis then made an urgent appeal in behalf of the Black Cross Nurses. A song composed by Mrs. Collins was sung, the title of her contribution was, "Onward, Negro Soldiers." Her rendition received a hearty applause. Dr. W D Wilson's boys favored the audience with a musical selection, accompanied by their accomplished mother. The number was well rendered. The candidates present were Hon. Edgar S. Hurley, Republican candidate for the Sixteenth Senatorial District, Hon. Frank V. Cornish, also a candidate for same office." Judge Edward Tyrell, incumbent candidate to succeed himself as judge of the Police Court, and Hon. Edward D. Mabson, an aspirant of color to the office of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in the State of California. This is the first time in the history of the State that a member of our group ran for this position. — "California Voice," Nov 10. NEGRO PROGRESS IN THE UNITED STATES By LILLIAN P. HARRISON Cambridge, Mass. It seems but yesterday, only fifty-seven years ago, since the American Negro was only chattel under the auctioneer's hammer, today we are only twelve million in number and own about a million homes, half a million farms, which cover more than twenty-five million acres of land, in all, speaking from recent statistics. The Negro controls more than two billion dollars worth of land in the U. B. A., has paid out more than a hundred million dollars for education, has some fifty thousand churches for which maintenance he reserves nearly ten million dollars annually. The Negro has seven or eight film companies owned by Negroes producing Negro casts. He has produced thousands of professional men and women, thousands of mechanics, as many skilled laborers (though not near enough skilled laborers), and not half have I mentioned that will brighten the pages of History on Negro Progress and achievements. As I think of his undaunted determination and ambition to better his lowly circumstances, and the rapid success in elevating himself from that lowness, those questions are foremost in my mind: "Are the Negroes a race of people? Will they ever become a nation?" And in the same breath, I answer, "Yes," to both questions. He is as much a "race" as the Jow, and an equally as good chance to redeem himself. The "white" man would have the Negro believe that his dark skin is his handicap, and many of us agree with him, but I firmly believe that our lack of understanding has been our only handicap. The Almighty God confounded the minds of our forefathers, and caused them to be led into captivity and slavery for their sins, until they stretched forth their hands unto Him He heard their prayers, broke the chains of bondage, changed the hearts of our captors, and we fairly jumped from slavery to prosperity, but in our jumping. I fear we are dropping behind in something, something most necessary to our race of people—our spirituality. The present generation has far too little faith in God, consequently injustice after injustice is heaped upon us. Bill ways constantly surround us, and as we often say, "We are getting more like the white folks every day," notwithstanding the fact that they are declaiming (going down hill), and they acknowledge it themselves; still we want to be like them, we mimic everything they do. If we of the Negro race continue to follow after the white man in his ways, we will become confused in our efforts toward elevating ourselves. So after we hear hard working race people saying in a general conversation: "Yes, I work hard just to have a little something." That is not enough; we have a destiny, we are a race, the remnant of a nation, scattered over the earth far and near, we are struggling for freedom in a foreign land, our progress in educational and financial achievements is remarkable, the world gazes in absolute wonderment at the Negro. They know that they've stolen our birthright—Africa—but it looks brightfb me that we shall reclaim it yet. God will keep us in this wilderness (for such is the white man's country to us), until we cease grumbling among ourselves until we learn to govern and be governed, until we learn to reverence and follow our accepted leaders and respect them. And when we wake up to the fact that God is supreme and not any color of man, that God rules the world, not the white man, we will obey His laws and receive orders from Him when to go forward and where to go. The Negro race is destined to become a great nation, the white man fears that you will awaken to this fact before long, so he begins to pat you on the back and tell you of the marvelous speed you are making in progress, gives you an insignificant office here and there, but careful that it is assistant or vice this or that, so that you are always under his thorough observation. All right, we can accept anything offered to us in this line, for it will greatly aid us in the art of legislation learn the lessons so necessary in self-government Hope for a great nation, a great nation of Negroes. Education in industry, education in technology, education in agriculture, all are absolute necessities in the molding of a nation. Then—we are not going to force our way home, we are not responsible for our presence in this country, we helped to make it a livable habitation for the people called "Americans." We live here and call ourselves "Americans" too, but they say we are a problem. They turned our loose like cattle, out from slavery, and we adapted ourselves to our environment and made this very rapid progress. This our home only by adoption. We are not less, disatisfied, hopeless, everything but what we should be Why? Because we want a home of our own, a land owned, governed and controlled by Negroes. Why can't we become a nation? God is our father, let's ask Him, work for it, prepare for it, hope for it, organize our youth We like everything the white man makes for his enjoyment We seem perfectly satisfied with what he gives us. We love to be a part of him but I thank God, that the white man has decreed that the smallest drop of Negro blood makes a white man a Negro I am glad of that fact because it strengthens the argument whether or not we are a race destined to become a nation But the only way that the Negro can come forward and take his place in the world as a nation is by getting closer to the God of our fathers. He scattered the black race, and it is through Him you will redeem yourselves. Often we hear people of marked intelligence say, "The less religion the Negro gets the more progress he makes." I agree with the fact, but if we measure our progress by the methods of the falling race, how can the Negro stand? The white man studies to keep you divided. You, unconscious of yourselves, agree to the divisions. In fact you chop yourselves all to pieces, separating black, yellow, brown and white Negroes from each other, intelligent IMPORTANT To All Divisions of the Univer All Divisions and Divisional offi moneys to Executive Officers Offi body on the Field.

Very often such apparent injustices are blessings in disguise. We need to shake off the color prejudice ourselves, forget what color each ather is, organize our youth everywhere, put them through every degree necessary to the making of a useful citizen anywhere. Teach them to pray and have faith in the God of our salvation, and we will be on the right road toward making a nation of a "people that are no people." While we are progressing in education and along financial lines, don't forget the necessity of a moral and spiritual foundation. God alone is our refuge BOOK NOTES H L. Mencken has written to Fred Lewis Pattes with a large ambiility on the subject of Mr Pattes's treatment of himself in his recent book, "Bildights on American Literature." And Mr Mencken adds, "Meanwhile my congratulations on a very good piece of work. I have long had in mind a plan for a full-length essay on O Henry. Now you have done it, and better than I could have done it" England was not long ago vainly surprised at this terrifying fellow's mild aspect. Can it be that this most effective master of vilification has his moment when it is safe even to explain to him his own faults? Harry A Franke's projected book on Chin, in which country he has been since last June, gathering material, has already grown in prospect, to two books, one promising to be inadequate to the vast amount of interesting facts and impressions that have revealed themselves. The Importance of Bird Life, by George Inress Hartley, tells of a beautiful monument in Halt Lake City, erected to a flock of gulls. About fifty years ago the settlers near Great Halt Lake were reduced to starvation rations to availms of grasshoppers. Then came the gulls. They gathered from the lake in thousands and destroyed the droveries completely. In grateful memory of this the citizens have erected a large monument. The skirt tells, too, how Darwin was able to earn eighty-two plants from a single ball of earth that had adhered to the foot of a porridge, it reveals the crimes of the deprived rhinoceros bird of South Africa, which has acquired strocious, blood-thirsty habits after tasting of blood accidentally drawn when hunting tigers on the backs of cattle; it reminds us that our little peats of city and country, the English sparrows, are all descended from just eight palra imported to New York in 1883—and that they are now the second most numerous bird in the United States, the robins exceeding them.

But it is, nevertheless, full of odd and striking facts. Vero Blichschon, in a letter to her publishers, the Century Company, which they send us as a literary note, disuses the atmosphere of her book, "Sea Wrack," which has been commented on by practically every reviewer of this remarkable draft novel. I only know, if this goes for anything, that the atmosphere should be every bit as carefully prepared as the actual story itself; for in many cases it has a strong effect on the characters. With "Ben Wrack" I did try to bring forward the atmosphere of the Pena, and in some odd way which I don't think I can account for the persons in the book were influenced in every way by that country, and to my mind could not have existed in any other part. . . . They fitted there. I am only telling you this fitted to me it seemed when working the book so important, it was an absolute, essential to the whole story." The Century Company says that practically every reviewer mentioned this sense of the "feel" of the country being in every bit of the book. Dividently what was so strongly felt by the readers of it was felt also by the author when writing it. There are just a few books which those who like to make "improving" present a may select for Christmas gifts without danger of being "hated," as their age increases, by their nephews and nieces."

For quite a while enemies 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 organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, 'Garvey Must Go'.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 Marruecos y su Protectorado La relación juridica llanaada protectorado tiene su origen en la necesidad que los pueblos débiles han sentido siempre de bucar la protección de los fuertes. Pero esto, que es tan antiguo y tan sencillo, ha ido evolucionado de tal forma, que hoy el protectorado es un concepto difusional de explicar, una etiqueta que se coloca sobre cualquiera empresa de predonio político o de expansa colonial por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Baza Negra Diferencia Entre la Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y la Propaganda de Otras Organizaciones—America es un País Exclusivamente Para Blancos y el Derecho Político del Negro Debe Ser Abolido, Declara un Escritor Blanco, Preparando Nuestra Exterminación El concepto de protectorado has sufrido una constante evolución a través de la historia hasta llegar al actual, o sea aquel en que el territorio protegido se presenta con el carácter de menor de edad En este moderno concepto, el protectorado es la penetración pacífica y económica de un pueblo en otro en virtud de una estrecha asociación de intereses de ambos El periodico semanario "Blade" de Chicago se deleita en la publicación de artículos concernientes a la presencia del Negro en America, su futuro y relación con el blanco y las inconveniencias que todo esto ocasiona. De tiempo en tiempo leemos en dicha publicación artículos tales como "Los primeros pasos hacia la conservación de una raza" por John C. Adams, cuyo articulo habla por sí mismo, corroborando el programa y propaganda de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Roma fue la nacion que mejor conubio y aplico el protectorado gracias a ello pudo dominar tanto territorio y tantas razas distintas. La politica de Roma consistia en reservarse la soberana exterior de los pauses protegidos, dejando la soberana interior en los jefes indigenas, ello lo hacian los romanos con tanto acertor, que hizo posible que pudiera decir de Roma Ciceron que mas que dominadora era una protectora de pueblos. Modernamente se ha añadido al protectorado el axioma de que el pauser proteído velar por el desarrollo mutual y material del país protegido. El Professor Adams, como blanco, es un gran defensor y cree en la eterna supremacia de su raza. Esta es exactamente la política de nuestra organización, la cual difiere en gran parte de la política de otras organizaciones de nuestra raza, quienes creen que el hombre blanco en America en dia no lejano abrirá sus brazos para recibir al Negro como a un hermano dividiendo sus derechos civiles por igual y admitiendo en su esfera social. Inglaterra que es el país que mejor ha entendido el concepto de protectorado, no ha seguido, ni sigue una norma fija de conducta respecto a los pares protegidos. Atena a lasidades geograficas y políticas de cada pas, proceda, igual que hizo Roma, adaptarse a ellas. Ejemplo de ellos el protectorado de la India. En la conferencia de Berlin de 1875 trataron las potencias de regular el protectorado, pero solo consigneron consagrar, en virtud de los artículos 35 y 36 del acta general, los abusos que en nombre del protectorado se venían cometiendo. No hay, por lo tanto, normas fijas para la organización de protectorados Las manifestaciones de estos senores blancos y de estos senores blanqueados no son extrañas a nuestra organización, pues en el estudio de la vida de esta nación, hemos hallado que tales declaraciones son en sí la esencia de la política que practica el hombre blanco en los Estados Unidos de America, en lo que repecta a nuestra raza. Si el hombre blanco cree y defiende la supremacia de su raza, nuestra organización cree y defenderá a pie firme los derechos de la nuestra, luchando por proveer un hogar apropiado para el Negro, cuando este sea arrojado del continente americano por la raza que actualmente en mayoría lo habita e intenta habitarlo para siempre. Cuatro son los requisitos que, a juició de los tratadistas más exigentes, debe reunir el protectorado: Que lo imponga un estado sobre otro; que por la acción del protectorado no desaparezca la organización del protegido; que se oblige al protector a prestar ayuda moral y material al protegido; que exista un tratado de protectorado. Con el objeto de refrescar la mente del Negro en America, hemos de recordar que trescientos años ha, nuestra raza vivia en paz en su tierra madre el Africa. Este nunca intervino en los asuntos de los demas. El hombre bianco, abandonandó su hogar en Europa y sin invitación, se introdujo en Africa posesionándose de millares de sus nativos a quienes secuestró, colocándoles a bordo de embarcaciones, llevándoles a centenares de millas fuera de su patria y disponiendo de ellos como esclavos. España respeta la soberanía del Jalifá, soberanía que es tan grande, que m aun el mismo sultán podria revocarla. Tiene incluso la soberanía religiosa. Tampoco desaparece en el protectorado de Marruecos la organización del país protegido Además, garantiza con las armas el prestigio de la autoridad. Respecto al requisito cuarto, es cierto que España no tiene un tratado concertado directamente con el sultán; pero, en virtud del convenio franco-marroquí del año 12, el sultán obligo a Francia a traatar con España, con lo que aquel país pasaba a ser un mandatario de dicha alta autoridad. Es, pues, un perfecto tratado de protectorado Este cautiverio duró doscientos cincuenta años en el continente americano y doscientos treinta años en las antillas. Durante esc periodo de tiempo el Negro rogaba al cielo por su libertad y al blanco pedia misericordia. Esta última era completamente ignorada por el opresor, pero por medio del giro que tomaron los acontecimientos de la contienda entre los estados del norte y sur de esta nación, Lincoln, en esa época presidente de la república, emancipó al Negro, no porque fuera su deseo el verle disfrutar de los mismos derechos de libertad, sino para adquirir el éxito a que el aspiraba en aquel período de destrucción y muerte. Su trono bamboleaba y era necesario recurrir a la fuerza yabilidad del Negro para que este cooperara a la realización del triunfo. La acción del protectorado consiste en asomarse al alma del pas protegido, ayudarle, defenderle, elevarle moral y materialmente. Cuando así no se hace, cuando en la acción de protectorado se cacen lo que les primativo de la acción de conquista, se corre el peligro de que sea estéril la labor realizada Al ocacionarse una gran pérdida en la cosecha del azucar antillano, ochenta y cinco años ha, Alemania introdujo su azucar de remolacha en Inglaterra lo cual perjudicó financieramente a los hacendados y dueños de esclavos en las antillas. La reina Victoria firmó en dicha época una proclama de emancipación, la cual dió la libertad a centenares de miles de esclavos en sus posesiones del nuevo mundo. La abolición de la esclavitud no fue un acto voluntario de parte del hombre blanco en norte americá o en las antillas. En los Estados Unidos de America fue una medida de guerra; en las antillas fue una necesidad económica. Ex-Champión de Boxeo Representará Otelo Jack Johnson, ex-champion de boxeo de peso completo, va a representar Otelo. El sultan de Marruecos, Moula Youssef, hase alado con Johnson para convertirlo en un actor clásico que hará las deluces de Broadway. Su alteza suplia las armaduras y prelas necesarias y despachara doscientos marroquies para que figuren en la tragedia shakesperana. Una bella de Natchez será Desdemona Se darán cuertos toques al drama a fin de satisfacer las exigencias del boxeador, pero, en suma, el texto sera facilmente reconocido por el público Despues de cincuenta y ocho años de emancipación en norte americana y ochenta y cinco años de libertad en las antillas, vemos aun a ciertos de los tal llamados directores de nuestra raza, decendientes directos de aquellos esclavos, predicando el que el Negro deba colocar sus intereses en manos de aquellos que le esclavizaron trescientos años ha. En esto difiere principalmente el programa de nuestra organización. No hemos de refutar el que America sea un país de 6 para blancos; esto ha sido ocasionado por la circunstancias. El hombre blanco conquistó y exterminó al indio americano posesionándose de sus tierras, cuyos beneficios no ha de compartir bajo concepto alguno con ninguna otra raza. Johnson djoa a un reporter que lo entrevisto: Bueno es que Nueva York se afirma bien en su asiento porque el tren va a dar la vuelta. No es que quera alaharme al declarar que este Otelo va hacer revolcar en el suelo a los neoyorquinos. Le diré como se forma la idea Andaba por España en las corridas de toros, cuando un día fu presentado al sultán de Marruecos. Nos pusimos a hablar de literatura. De paso le diré que el sultán no tiene nada de tonto. Discutiendo a Shakespeare, traté en vano de enredarlo. Siempre tenia respuestas listas en la punta de la lengua. Me invito a visitarlo en Marruecos y lo visité. Después de haber vencido a varios soldados españoles, en presencia suya, con las cariclas de mus guantes, el sultán me dijo: Luego de haber leido los artículos a que hacemos referencia, llegamos a la conclusión de que nuestro futuro no esta en America, confiando en que nuestros derechos constitucionales sean administrados por el blanco. Nuestro futuro estará en un país donde nuestra raza establezca su propio gobierno y redacte su propia constitución, extendiendo protección a los hijos a hijas de Etiopia doquiera hayan fijado su residencia. Johnson, que buen Otelo seria usted! Señor, rephique ce ha sido el sueño dorado de mi vida Johnson, siempre he ten do deseos de ver una representación de Otelo en español. ¿Cuándo, señor? Tengo en estos momentos un traductor que se ocupa del asunto, dando toques al drama fin de que resulte algo que no ofenda a nadie. Por que no llevar a cabo immediatamente la representación? Y el resto de los artistas? Las bellas de mi nacion Antes de que se realizaran nuestros proyecto, regresé a los Estados Unidos. Pero el sultan no se ha enfadado y me ha prometido enviarme doscientos artistas para que, después de que trunfen conmigo, aqui representen Otelo en Marruecos, en español Diganselo a los Turcos El embajador americano en Londres na tenido una visión milenial. Hablaando ante el Forum Club, confeso su creencia de que el mundo haba llegado al fin de las guerras. La razon de ello es que los pueblos va no la toleraran. Declaro que en el mundo entero todas las personas que sobre la tierra residen se han sentido tan fatigadas de la guerra que no volverian va a entregarse a la matanza reciproca. Este descubrimiento del coronel Harvey se allica con justicia como muy alentador. Es una lastima que no se encuentre en condiciones de convencer de esta verdad, que el asegura ha sido impresa en la mente humana, a los presentes gobernantes del imperio turco. Parecen estos hallarse totalmente desconocidos de este gran y nuevo sentimiento de desarrollo espontano, de este principio automático, que impide las matanzas. Después de haber acabado con todos los armenios y otras partes de la población no turca, podran convenir con el embajador Harvey, pero entretanto proceden en la hipotesis de que las guerras, en verdad, podran haber terminado, pero que las matanzas siguen en desarrollo sin interrupción. El verdadero lugar para que el embajador Harvey predique su comfortador credo no es Londres sino Constantinopla — N Y Times.

REPOSITORY REPORT OF THE PHELPS-STOKES FUND THROWS LIGHT ON AFRICA (Continued from last week) "The record of government service in Africa is a mingling of the good and the bad, the effective and the ineffective, the wise and the unwise. Despite the failures and injustices of the governments in handling the natives, the advantages to native life provided by the colonial governments have on the whole overshadowed the disadvantages. The Education Commission was deeply impressed by the high average of ability and devotion to duty observed in the colonial service in most of the colonies visited." Representatives of commerce and industry form numerically the most important group of whites in Africa, but are the least important from the viewpoint of beneficial influence on the natives. But, the report continues, business concerns are beginning to appreciate the economic value of an interest in the welfare of the communities in which they operate, and the home organizations are more and more insisting on higher standards of ability and character in their agents. It should also be remembered that the development of African resources has incidentally enlarged the opportunities of the natives. Adequacy and Reality of Education in Africa With a study of the physical and human factors as a background, the commission then proceeds to discuss the whole question of education, the fundamental importance of which it sets forth in the following paragraph: Ignorance, injustice, unrent in Africa will always disturb the peace of mankind elsewhere. The only cure for the so called 'rising title of color', and the revolt against civilization heralded abroad with such anxiety by some narrators of the present time is in the development of genuine and sincere cooperation of peoples of all times based upon an education of the native masses and native leaders in the common essentials of life. It seems clear that the educational policies of governments and missions have hitherto been inadequate and to a considerable extent unreal so far as the vital needs of Africa are concerned. In none of the colonies visited did the governments include the Director of Education within the Executive Council. Appropriations for education have been almost negligible in comparison with the great needs. While the governments may have been justified in placing sanitation and public utilities first in the order of time, they should never be regarded as first in the order of importance. The education of the people is, in the long run, fundamental even to sanitation and public order. Although such educational facilities as the African natives now have are largely to be credited to the missions, and, although "a really great service" has already been rendered to the natives along these lines, there has been an unevenness in the effectiveness of the schools, due largely to a diversity in the conception of the function of education. Some missions have conceived of education merely as mental discipline others have restricted it to teaching the natives to read the Bible and thus to understand the spirit of Christianity, in too many cases the schooling has been confined to classroom work based on the traditional classical preparation for Cambridge, Oxford or American colleges. Too frequently there has been no general supervision over groups of schools and mission boards serving the same communities could strengthen their work by co-operating in the support of a single secondary school. Yet there have been very definite accomplishments in the field of African education, according to the report, which says: Notwithstanding the limited personnel the inadequate equipment, and other difficulties of pioneer conditions some missions have been remarkably successful in the organizing and maintaining of educational activities. Records show that some of the most effective elements of education now being incorporated in the school systems of America and Europe have originated in the schools of the home and foreign mission fields. Several illustrations of this fact are to be found in the schools described in the Colonial Chapters of this report, and in the well-known Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes of America, both of which own their existence to mission forces." Four Essentials of Policy The essentials of educational policy and organization required to give Africa an adequate and real system are four in number and to each is devoted a chapter of the report the titles being Adaptations of Education Organization and Supervision, Education of Masses and of Native Leadership and Cooperation for the Education of Africans. The first of these chapters is devoted to emphasizing the need for a really vital educational policy. A schooling confined to the classical education is giving way in Europe and America to certain important adaptations to mass needs and is even more out of place among primitive peoples. Schooling which fits the students for clerical positions is helpful and is welcomed by government officials and business men who require such clerks, but it should be merely a subsidiary matter. Schooling in the trades is also helpful in widening the natives' opportunities and is approved by industry, but here again it is only a partial answer to the educator's problem. That problem goes beyond providing a "bread and butter" education and concerns itself with the individual's place in and relation to his community. Like every other continent, Africa is like overwhelmingly rural and the great mass of her people will always live close to the soil and derive their sustenance from the products of the soil. But they require more than instrument. tion in agriculture and animal husbandry Personal hygiene and community sanitation, the simple handicrafts of the kraal or tribal village, an appreciation of privacy in home life and of decency in dress, leadership in developing suitable recreation for the use of leisure time, an appreciation of their own history folk-lore and music, such as the curriculum of an 'adapted' education which the report proposes. The elementary grades should be taught in the native tongue, instruction in the language of the country's European officials being introduced later as a means of developing better understanding and co-operation between the two races. Teachers as Community Leaders The report emphasizes the fact that if the masses are really to be reached the great bulk of the educational activities will necessarily be centered in simple one and two-teacher schools in the villages. Not only should the curriculum be adapted to the community life but the teachers as well should be selected with a view to their capacities as leaders in that life. For illustration, the report cites the system which has developed in many parts of our South, where the Rosenwald Schools, county training schools for supplying teachers, county and State supervising agents, and farm and home demonstration agents are all working in cooperation. In developing any plan, says the report, it is of the utmost importance that the girls be given equal advantages with the boys for schooling, for it is only through the women that the whole plans of household economy, health and decency in living conditions can be raised. Upon such a system of community schools recruiting teachers from central training schools, can then be developed the higher education serving the needs of the ministry, medicine, law engineering and the other professions, as well as the colleges. Proceeding to the subject of organization and supervision of educational activities, the report points out that during the pioneer stage of missionary development in Africa and the desire to "occupy the field for Christianity" led in some instances to the effort to influence a wider territory than the available resources could effectively cover. The tendency now, however, is toward more intensive and thorough work with extension of the field of activity only as greater strength in trained men and money becomes available. "With full appreciation of the heroic services rendered by the missionaries of Africa," the report continues, "it must be urged that those who disregard the value of organization and supervision are neglecting two of the elements most essential to the success of their efforts. While this neglect may be overlooked in the pioneer work of early missionaries, it should not be tolerated in this day when even casual observation of mission work in any part of the world shows clearly the wastefulness of non-organized and unsupervised activities in home and foreign missions." Education of Messages and Native Leaders Convinced of what it terms "the improvisability of the natives," the African Education Commission not only emphasizes the need for educational developments which will reach the masses in forms adapted to promote their economic and social well-being, but it also urges the importance of training native leaders fitted to assist in this development. Although the school and religious activities of the missions have always been and still continue to be the leading influence in moulding the life of the younger elements, the commission believes that the constructive elements of commerce, industry and government will supplement the missions most helpfully. After discussing the various antagonistic attitudes toward the training of native leaders, the report continues: However difficult it may be to understand the contribution natives can make in the teaching and direction of their people, effective education and sound government require the training of native leadership to participate in all the activities of colonial life. The increasing enthusiasm of native peoples the world over for self-determination and nationalization is sound and helpful so long as it makes for self-respect. It is unfortunate only when it results in distrust or hostility toward other peoples. Every people must have some of its own to serve as leaders. The task now confronting colonial officers and missions is the organization of educational facilities for the training of native leadership that shall conserve what is sound in native life and transmit the best that civilization and Christianity have to offer." Such training must necessarily be based on a comprehensive system of secondary schools, says the report, and each of these schools must be adapted to the particular requirements—rural, urban or special—of its community. A matter receiving increasing recognition is the importance of "training African youth to assist in the overwhelming task of improving health and sanitary conditions." College Training Needed Leaving the matter of college education for the final part of the discussion, the report says among other things: "Though college education for African youth is limited to two institutions in Africa and to the opportunities for study in Europe and America, it is certain that the development of native leadership will require more college facilities as the standards of education advance. If college education is of value to any group, surely it is to those who are to be the native guides of African people whose existence is beset with so many perplexing problems. "More and more" leadership of the Africana is devolving upon the strong and capable native men and women. Successful leadership requires the best lessons of sociology, economics and education. Without such leadership misunderstandings will multiply and increase in perspirit. The Africans must have physicians with real skill and the spirit of service to lead against the unsanitary conditions that are threatening the colonies. They must have religious teachers who can relate religion to individual morals and to the common activities of the community. They must have teachers of secondary schools who have had college training in the modern sciences and in the historical development of civilization. The Importance of Co-operation The interdependence of the four great groups—native Africana, government officials, European traders, and missionaries—and the great opportunity which awaits each group in the development of effective co-operation between all four, are fully treated in the concluding chapter of the commission's general findings, the remainder of the report being given over to detailed consideration of the situation in each of the colonies and other governmental units visited. The present situation is summed up in the following paragraphs: "The government officials, representing many social grades and conceptions of government varying from monarchy to democracy, have come to work with the authority of the ruling power. The interest of the merchants and industrial groups is primarily economic. The missionaries come to bring the great truths of Christianity and of civilization to the natives. The native people have a variety of interests and emotions with regard to all groups, that range from expectancy to wonder and sometimes apprehension. It is not strange that such groups have not sufficiently realized the possibilities of co-operation. "However widely they may differ in their manner of life and in the ends for which they are working, the ultimate success of all groups depends upon mutual respect, faith in one another, and co-operation for the development of the colony and the native people. It is as true of racial groups as of individuals that they must have an opportunity to share in the achievements of other groups as well as the develop their individuality. The great principle of Christian brotherhood is as essential to humanity as self-determination." Although the commission found several instances of approaches to full cooperation, there was no important case where all four interests were represented; in some instances the missions were ignored; in other cases the native people had no representation. The British colonies are notable in their formation of government executive councils composed of members representing government, commerce and native people, but as yet not including the missionary point of view. Other important approaches to co-operation between the interested groups are cited by the commission in the following paragraph: "The King of Belgium has appointed a commission for the protection of natives, representing government, commerce and missions. Cape Provinces of South Africa has organised the native Bhunga, a government council which enables the African people to express their ideas concerning taxation, education and various proposals for legislation. The Natal Mission Board of Advice has been appointed by the Education Department of Natal Missions are increasingly recognizing the importance of intermissionary conferences. Possibly the most important of all are the South African Native Welfare Associations, composed of white and native people, who meet to improve inter-racial conditions."
