No. 18 THE CAUSE THE DYE FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: I am not an alarmist. Nevertheless, it is my duty to advise and warn Negroes everywhere about those things that would affect their best interests. In this case it is my duty to warn the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States of America of the great harm that is being done to the race by the organization known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I trust no one will interpret this as an attack upon this association because of any rivalry or misunderstanding or hatred for the people who make up the organization. This must be understood as being an honest effort to prepare my race in America against a threatened reaction in our political and economic life. THE N. A. A. C. P. First of all, it is for me to explain to the millions who are not well informed that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its executive control is made up of a group of white men and women, with a few Negroes who plan and execute the program of the organization. Its President is a white man, the Treasurer is a white man. Up to recently the Secretary was also a white man, but through the pressure of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and public sentiment they subsequently appointed a colored man as Secretary. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is a white man. The principal supporters of the movement are philanthropic white men and women scattered in different parts of the country. Now what does this all mean? To me the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is but a skillful effort on the part of certain people to control the political, social and economic destiny of the Negro in the United States of America. THE NEGRO DISFRANCHISED All of us will remember that once upon a time the Negro was a slave in this country. Through certain accidents and through the efforts of Abraham Lincoln he was enamored fifty-seven years ago. In the emancipation the Negro was declared a citizen, with equal rights with his slave master. He was given the ballot, allowed to vote, and he elected not only to the State legislatures but to the National Congress men of his own race. The result was a terrible awakening among the white people of the Southern States to the great danger of having the Negro exercising the ballot as a citizen, to the end of electing men of his own race. Spokesmen not only for the race but as representatives of the communities from which they were elected, which included white people. This rude awakening on the part of the South resulted in certain schemes being drawn up and made into law by which the Negro was deprived of his voting rights and became ultimately a citizen without any political advantage. We all see today that the Negro in the South is deprived of the ballot. He cannot vote, he cannot elect anybody to any office. All this was brought about by the skillful maneuvering of the men in the South who were opposed to a great extent to admitting the Negro as a political equal in the new order of things as created by the emancipation. The North at the time of the emancipation and immediately after, and even during the time the Negro was exercising the ballot in the South, was not much concerned about the grievance of the Southern white people in allowing the Negro to have the vote and to exercise it, because the NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 OF THE DE R ANTI-LYN NEGROES IN THE NORTH LIKELY TO LOSE VOTE THROUGH SENSELESS AGITATION OF NA- TIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ADVANCE- MENT OF COLORED PEOPLE MASSES OF NEG ES SHOULD MAKE EFFORT TO CURB ORGANIZATI THAT CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY ORKS TO DETRIMENT OF RACE TIMELY WARNING BY FARSEEING LEADER North was in no way threatened by a similar danger from the white man's point of view. But things within the last twenty years have taken a decided change. Negroes have been flocking to Northern communities by the hundreds of thousands, and today we form a voting power in the respective Northern political centres of the nation. THE SENSITIVE NORTH The North, therefore, has become sensitive to the Negro's voting power. This sensitiveness, while it is only taking its form among the majority today, was anticipated several years ago by the thinking element of white men on whom depended the destiny of the great white race. These men naturally formulated their program by which they could shape the destiny of the Negro to the end that he would not be able to create himself permanently the menace that he threatened to be through his higher education and his greater aspirations and ambitions. Thoughtful white men of the last century knew well that in educating the Negro he was fitting him for a higher place by ambition in the order of society which naturally would bring him in competition with the great white race which one held him as a slave The plan therefore was to devise ways and means by which the Negro will not be left alone to conduct the affairs of his own race to the end that he would advance himself as a real competitor with the great white race, but that he should be so regulated as to make it impossible for him to rise above the limit that was placed upon him as a man within the Nation; hence the advent and organization of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People headed by prominent and apparently philanthropic white persons. They encouraged, fostered and supported the organization, with the hope that it would become the kind of attraction among colored people as to make them look toward it as the only hope out of their troubles and difficulties. This organization would lay down a program for the race as directed by the philanthropic white executive, and a few Negroes would be employed to give color to the idea that it was really an organization for the advancement of the race, when in truth it was but a trust effort in organization to keep the Negro under control, and to advance only those programs and schemes that would work out in accordance with the plans that were laid down; hence we have had for over thirteen years an agitation about lynching on the part of this association, without any cessation of the evil, but, on the contrary, an increase year by year. We have had the fight of this association for political rights for the race, which ended in nothing else but an aggravation of the issue between white and black. We have had this association fighting for social equality which has ended in nothing else but a drawn social dagger between the two races, the great white race suspecting always that the highest social aim of the black man is to be associated with some white woman. Thus we see that all that the race has gotten from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since its organization is the placing of our people in an unfavorable position socially, economically and politically. THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL But now comes the great danger that I desire to bring before the people While all of us accept in principle the need for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill as a guarantee against the outrage of the mob, I feel that the handling of the propaganda by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the successful passage of the bill was but another skillful attempt of the association to place the Negro in an unfavorable position politically, so as to awaken the sensitiveness of the majority of the white people toward the danger of the Negro politically in the North, carrying out therefore the plan of the great white minds who planned the existence of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as the medium by which the Negro must be held down and kept in his place. THE N. A. A. C. P. THREATENED In what way did the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People go about the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill? As everyone can remember, from what was published in the various white and Negro newspapers, and by the speeches made and the many releases given out by this association, a threat was held up before President Harding and the great Republican party that if they did not pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Bill, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would make Negroes "do so and so." Similar threats were held up to Democratic Congressmen and Senators by this same association. "If you do not vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill we will not return you to the Congress and the Senate; we will call upon the colored voters to do so and so." This National Association for the Advancement of Colored People knew when they were saying, writing and doing these things that they were but holding up a red rag before the great Republican and Democratic bulls, who under no circumstances would allow an infinitesimal number of Negro voters to threaten the career of a single white Congressman or Senator, or the existence of the Republican or Democratic parties. This threat of the association, which was made by James Weldon Johnson, its secretary, and other representatives, but fired the resentment of every white politician, Democrat and Republican, in the country, as was natural. What else could we expect? No real man accepts a threat from anyone without fighting back to the bitter end, and the men who make up the N. A. A. C. P. knew well the psychology of the individual as well as the masses; they knew well that they would achieve nothing by holding this threat over the heads of the Republican and Democratic parties, and intimidating Congressmen and Senators everywhere as to what the Negro voter would and would not do. The result is that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been compromisingly shelved, and will never be law except in another way. The understanding between the Republicans and Democrats to shelve the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is not the only danger. The danger is that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has laid the foundation in the North to deprive the Negro of the ballot in another ten years. I am no prophet but I am warning the fifteen million Negroes of America, especially those of the North, that in another five or ten years we will find the Negro in the North in the same political condition of helplessness as the Negro of the South, and we will have to thank the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for it—except we change our program now. I feel that at the present time the great political white minds of the country are laying the plans by which in another short while the Negro will be deprived of his voting power in the North, because they will not allow a recurrence of the things that happened through the N. A. A. C. P.—black men threatening white men as touching the destiny of their parties, or the destiny of their Government. WAS THE N. A. A. C. P. IN EARNEST If the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were in earnest, the bill would have been carried in a different way. But they never meant its passage. How could we expect that they would mean it? In the name of reason, how could you expect that any white man who is interested in the development of his race, except he is a traitor, would do things for Negroes that would help Negroes to be in a position equal to, or with more advantage than, the white man himself? It is not reasonable! Here we are supposed to have a Negro organization; its executive officers are white, and we are expecting to get a square deal from this organization. This organization is supposed to be the hope of the race. It is like expecting the lion to lead the sheep, and give the sheep justice at the end. The only justice the sheep will get is being swallowed up by the lion. This must not be interpreted as an attack upon the great white leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties; but this is to be regarded as an expose of the situation. If I personally were a white Republican or a white Democrat, I would adopt the same attitude as the gentlemen adopted in Washington. It is but human. For us to expect that the great white leaders of this country will jeopardize the interest of the white race to suit a few Negroes who really do not even know what they want, is to expect the impossible. There is but one way to solve the race question, and that is to face the facts as they are. The white people of America are not the worst white people in the world. If I were to give an opinion, I believe the white people in America are the most honest of the white race, and I believe they have done more for the Negro than any other race or nation. But the suffering of the Negro to-day and of the future will not be through the fault of the white man, but through the fault of the Negro himself in not knowing himself and in expecting too much from others. Let DuBois and Weldon and Johnson go and study the race question some more before they attempt to foster themalves as leaders of the race. We need real leaders who will point us the way to destiny, not as the N. A. A. C. P. is doing it, but as it should be done by real men, real leaders, which we hope will come in time. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY. President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association.

ACCEPTED AS ONLY NEGRO --- LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, December 10, 1922—That the followers of Liberty Hall are still exultant over the triumph of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in sending a delegation to the League of Nations and presenting to that international body a petition in behalf of the Negroes of the world, was abundantly proved tonight by the security and enthusiasm with which they applauded the Hon Jean Joseph Adam the secretary and interpreter for the delegation, when he was introduced on the rostrum and when, at a later stage of the meeting Hon F. A. Poote, international organizer, called for a special offering as an appreciation of the work accomplished by the delegation, the audience rose almost to a man, made a rush for the table and planked down donations ranging from a dollar down to ten cents. No single act has done more to add to the prestige of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and no greater exemplification of the seriousness of its intention to carry forward to a successful issue the program which it has laid for the redemption of Africa for the Negroes of the world and the building up on that continent of a great Negro government, than the sending of the delegation and its successful presentation of the petition. As was truly stated by Mr. Adam, this is the greatest step forward that the Negro has ever made since the beginning of the world. It seemed peculiar, however, that in spite of the publicity given by the white press to this particular activity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its psychological effect upon the Negro race at large, the Negro newspapers have maintained a strict alliance on the matter. But the reason is not hard to find, for it had been predicted by them that the delegation would never have reached the League of Nations, moreover to present a petition. The success of the delegation has so completely defeated their hopes that to break their silence now would be to heap ignominy upon themselves. The enemies of the association have, however, not been idle in trying to find out the truth as to whether or not the delegation of the U. N. I. A. did accomplish the work with which they have been credited, for Mr. Adam, in his speech tonight said that while in Paris a letter was written to the Minister of Haiti, Mr. Bellegarde, by W. I. B. DuBois, one of the supposed-to-be great Negroes in America, asking him if the delegation did as much work as was printed in the paper. The following questions were further asked: "Did any of them influence you in making that wonderful speech that you made, and I want to know right now what is your objection between the two associations—are you for my association or are you for the Universal Negro Improvement Association?" The laughter which this statement of Mr. Adam evoked, indicated that the audience was well aware of the course from which the letter had come, and they burst forth into applause when Mr. Adam added that in reply to a question asked of Mr. Bellegarde what answer he intended to give, he said: "Gentlemen, I will tell you this I am going to write to him and tell him that I had good reason to do everything that I did, and that I am not in favor of helping two associations which ought to be together to fight one another; furthermore said Mr. Adam, Mr. Bellegarde accepted that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an international association and all other associations can be nothing but national, and if any association wants to get into the international field it must follow the footsteps of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Adam's speech was very enlightening and a new ray of hope upon the minds of his hearers, which will no doubt, radiate through the entire Negro world and permeate the hearts of race loving Negroes who are interested in the work which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing in behalf of the race. The other speakers were Prof. William H. Furry, Hon. R. L. Poston and Hon. F. A. Toote, all of whom delivered very timely addresses, which were well received. In Illuminating Blance Following are the speeches: PROF. FERRIS SPEAKS of the Liberian lean and the have passed around and colored politicians began to bombard their Senators. They heard that $640,000 was going to some Negro Americans and they wanted a slice of it. Then the congressmen got digusted and said that it was a graft ahem and let it drop Why the Anti-Lynching Bill Failed Regarding the anti-lynching bill the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not pass politics well. They went into the State of Delaware and made efforts to defeat a Republican candidate for Congress. What they should have done was to have kept themselves in the back ground but they got in the firefight and a colored politician represented to a Republican Senator that the leaders of the National Association were Dem- ocrats and Royalists and if they put over the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill they would add the strength of the Dem- crafte and the guardians. Home of the Republican Senator did not want to do anything to entrench the National Association and give them greater power over them. That was one of the forces which helped to de- fend the anti-lynching bill. Our poli- cal leaders (and free) If one or two had not wagged their tongues a little too much as Louisiana loan might have put it out. This one thing I noticed in Washington, I went from the southwest to the Northwest and everyone I met wanted to know about the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Whether they believed in the possibility of African colonization or in the possibility of an African empire they saw in the Universal Negro Improvement Association's name force. I have talked with Peg Adams of San Francisco and was pleasantly impressed with the impression that had been made by our delegate in France. They impressed the people in Switzerland and France that they were gentlemen and that meant a good deal. There is one reason why the world looks upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association as it does no other organization. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a world-wide organization it is financed directly by colored people. Neatly every time a Baptist or Methodist preacher puts up a big church, in the fast analogy he is up to and begs the rich white people to give him a donation but whatever the Universal Negro Improvement Association has accomplished, great or small, all of the money has been donated or has been loaned or subservied by black people and that is something new in the evolution of the Negro in the Western Hemisphere. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has permanently emphasised self-help and self-reliance and the world knows that when a race is able to stand on its own legs there is no limit to its possibilities—no limit to its achievements. I have not been discouraged as some of them who have been connected with this organization have been, because we were not able to put over our big program in three or four years. In this world's affairs, it is unfortunate, but it is true, that one generation sows and another generation reaps. The men who first came over to this country three hundred years ago and faced the rigors of New England winter fought the Indians and struggled half-starved and laid the foundation, and another generation reaped, and we are laying now the foundation for racial growth and racial development. I do not believe that when the Right Hon. Marcus Garvey launched this world-wide movement he expected to see the full fruitage of his plan in his own lifetime. An organisation which has impressed the entire world and has launched a great constructive and industrial program must go through the stages which other organizations have gone through. It must experiment; it must gain experience. It must develop trained leaders; it must gradually get hold of industrial power and commercial knowledge; then when it has all this it does not go at full speed right away. The wheels move slowly, then they move a little faster as it gains momentum, and then faster and faster and finally goes a mile a minute at full speed. That will be the way with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have just started the wheels moving; we have just started the machinery and when we get going—when we inspire black men with the spirit of progress—when we develop trained leaders, when we get men who have wisdom and experience, when we have impressed the world with our sincerity and earnestness, when we have breathed our spirit into black men everywhere, then you will see the Negro building up great enterprises here and in Africa, and by virtue of his commercial, industrial and scientific force and knowledge he will be ranked and rated among the great peoples of the world. (Applause.) HON, R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. R. L. Poston said he was just back from a trip from the Buckeye State, and he had been very much impressed with the state of Affairs in the State of Ohio. Taking as a text for his remarks, "Love thy neighbor & thyself," the speaker launched an attack on the missionaries who were sent to Africa to do missionary work. "Love thy neighbor & thyself." Mr. Poston said, might reach the lips of a number of men, but very few men who are doing missionary work in Africa have that in their hearts. Whenever a colored man, he be a minister or what not, enters this business of oppressing his race he makes the best oppressor in the world, for the simple reason: he can do it so successfully, in the name of the Lord, "he heard recently," said he, in a bishop THE NEGRO WORLD.

J. J. ADAM IN WONDERFUL SPEECH—NEGRO PRESS HAS REMAINED SILENT ON QUESTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE — HAVE BEEN DEFEATED IN THEIR HOPES OF U. N. I. A. DELEGATION TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS—FAMOUS NEGRO ASSOCIATION REQUESTS CHOICE BETWEEN U. N. I. A. AND ITSELF Is Told That No Encouragement Will. Be Given to Fight One Another—Should Unite for the Common Good of the Race—Liberty Hall Audience Shows Further Appreciation of Services Rendered in Behalf of the Race who had just returned from Africa, where he was doing, as he said great missionary work, and he was telling an and one of the experience of turn and his great devotion, as a man of God and he said he was interested in his work and that he sat out in the sun one day and his back was burned sure. The he speaker, had learned of the kind of stuff they were carrying to our people over there who are suffering under the greatoke of oppression. They never tell them anything about how they can throw off oppression they never tell them about modern ways of getting rid of the British and the French over there, they just bring to them a naked Bible and say "take this, thus saith the Lord." They tell men and women who are proud—men who have no right to bend the knee to any man that the way of the Lord is the meek way, and that thing is doing more than anything else to keep our people over there in oppression. The Need of Missionaries The Need of Missionaries Africa is an island of missionaries — missionaries who will carry on the work as it ought to be. Missionaries who will carry every idea of organized force to let the Englishmen over there know that the Negroes surely have awakened. We read some time ago, where our country was oppressing Haiti and every newspaper in the country came up in rebellion against that oppression just as they should. A few weeks ago he read where a number of Negroes have been given positions in Haiti and they are singing a new tune about Haiti today and about American occupation in Haiti. Cenguering the Heathen The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he continued, has a great work to do. We must overcome that leadership that has been spreading the wrong doctrine throughout this country. The ministry should not be opposed, but his experience has taught him that there must be injected into the ministry the practical teachings of an organization such as this. The white man teaches us a deal about humility, but he saw very few white men who are humble in the way they would want him to be humble. They boast of the fact that they stand squared on their feet and look mankind squared in the face and that is representative of greatness in the white man. On the other hand, they came and give us a foolish kind of doctrine that will take all the starch out of our back and make us fall down upon our knees. Great Britain is saying that is not necessary for them to send into Africa gunpowder because they can conquer the heathen there with the Bible, but the natives have not thought so much of the white missionary and they began to doubt him seriously, and then they fell back upon the colored preacher and they sent him to his fellowmen in order that he might do what they were not successful in doing, and the Negro bishop, the Negro preacher and the Negro teacher in Africa are teaching our people to bend their knee and to become satisfied under oppression, and they believe them simply because their faces are black just like their own. It is up to us, Mr. Poston said, to tear down that kind of thing, whether we find it in churches, political organizations or social organizations. The kind of missionary who fails to tell his people wherever they may be that it is right and proper for them to use all methods to overcome the oppressor is not acting in the name of God—in not acting in the interests of this race of ours. He would like to lay a battalion against the missionaries in Africa, not only white, but black as well because they are doing more to oppress us and keep us down than any other agency alive. Mon. J. J. Adam Roaks The next speaker was Hon. Jean J. Adam, one of the delegates to the League of Nations. He led by making reference to Haytell, which had been mentioned by the previous speaker. In the diplomatic world, said Mr. Adam, we are very particular about this question. In Europe we have evaded the question. Before going any further I will say that some mistakes have been made in regards to Haytell. I was supposed to be in the fight myself. I wrote to the President of Haytell at the time and I was in touch with Prof. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson. When I found the mistake they had made in the case I did not want to go any further, so I joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the intention of being able some day to get my redress (applause) and I did not have to wait very long to have my redress. "Have We a Bearat Order?" When we arrived at the League of Nations and we appeared before the Mandate Commission, the first thing that the President of the Commission did was to look at our petition. Of course, he saw the name of Sir William Ferris, K. C. O. S. N., and he asked us what it meant. We told him that it was "Knight Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile"; and he wanted to know if there was any order within our association, and we told him yes; and he inquired again if our association was so powerful to have an order within it and we told him yes and he took it very seriously and gave us due consideration. The next thing that he did was to inquire of us why the Negroes of the world are not satisfied with their state in Haiti, and why are they not satisfied with their state in Liberia. Why are they trying to get a foothold in Africa? What was their reason for leaving Hayttl alone? What is their reason for leaving Hayttl alone and trying to get another foothold in Africa? We ovaded those answers; we only said that Hayttl and Liberia have been criticized all the time and we wanted to have a foothold in Africa in order to start a new republic of our own under the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, feeling that this new State of Negroes with the program would be able to avoid the mistakes made by Hayttl and Liberia (Applause). It was purely a diplomatic move. We knew the answers, but we knew that if we started to discuss Haytli and the reason of our dissatisfaction we would have to tell the whole only. We would have to say that after a hundred years of independence Haytli has been harassed in that she had to submit to domination for strategic reasons. We would have to say that Liberia has been harassed from time to time just because France and England wanted the best part of the land. We did not want to say that but we impressed them with the fact that for work performed by the Negroes we wanted a new home guaranteed by the League of Nations in a home that they would not begrudge the Negro at all, and where they would not try to cover him with indemnities all the time, where they would not try to land marines to punish him for having a flag of his own. We told them that, and that is why today, going through the streets of Harlem, I wondered to myself if these Negroes I are really conscious of what is going on in the world today. Are they conscious of the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has laid a corner stone for the Negroes of the world? Do they realize that we have made a step forward, and the greatest step that the Negro has ever made ever since the beginning of the world? You will understand me that Haytli has had one hundred years of freedom, and Liberia one hundred years of freedom, and we have given them up. We say we do not want to bicker about them. That is what we are going to impress upon the League of Nations at all times. I do not care whether we send a new delegation next year, but this question has got to be fought out; and we made the League understand that Haill, whose hundred years of independence in the Caribbean Heas has been given up by the Negroes of the world, and Liberia also has been given up, just because we do not want to get into any controversy with anybody as to what they have done, but if they really mean to be fair to our race we want them to guarantee us a home and that home must be in no other place but Africa, where the race was destined to accomplish its destiny (great applause) It is very plain When Hon Marcus Garvey made up his mind to send that petition to the League of Natibax he did not intend for us to fight for the people in Liberty Hall or for the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. That petition was made in the name of Negroes everywhere (Applause). I have said to myself I would like to call Mr DuBois, Mr. Kelly Miller and Mr Bourbough and all of them to out out the reason why they were fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association when a set of Negroes have gone to the League of Nations to put themselves on record, and I wondered to myself if after having gone forward and fought like we have fought for those Negroes they could be against us yet. If they could be against us I wondered what kind of Negroes they are. I want to say this that while we were in Paris the telephone rang and it was Mr. Bellegerde, the Minister Plenipotentiary of Mayt. He said: "Is the whole delegation there and I said 'yes.' He said he would like us to call the next morning at 10 o'clock, as he had something very important to tell us. We called next morning at the appointed hour and he took out a letter from a great Negro—one of the greatest, supposed to be, in America—asking him if the delegation did as much work as was printed in the papers. He asked him, "Did any of them influence you in making that wonderful speech that you made? And I want to know right now, what is your choice between the two associations? Are you for my association or are you now for the Universal Negro Improvement Association?" (Laughter.) So we laughed. I asked Mr. Bellagarde what he was going to do and what kind of answer he was going to send the learned professor. We asked him the question the second time, and he said, "Gentlemen, I will tell you this: I am going to write to him and tell him that I have good reasons to do everything that I did, and that I am not in favor of helping two associations INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION which ought to be together to fight for one another (current appointee). He said he accepted that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an international association and all other associations can be nothing but national appointees, and if any association want to get into the international field it must follow the lead of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." On Record at the League of Nations On Record at the League of Nations There is no way to get around it. We are on record at the League of Nations I want to tell you what he happened The Universal Negro Improvement Association sent a petition to the League of Nations If the petition was not accepted officially by the League of Nations, then there would not be any precedent Now here is the president And what does it mean? It means that we can fight until we get our object, and I know we can and if I had more time I would show to you even in a biblical way. Next: If at any time this very country that we are in should ever join the League of Nations the Universal Nogrin Improvement Association would call a convention and send a petition to that same League of Nations on the same precedent and protest against lynching protest against segregation protest against all the attitudes that may be committed from time to time and have a hearing (Applause). The League of Nations is a much more powerful instrument than you may think. Every man studies it his own way. President Wilson, after he fought to establish the League of Nations found out that the league could be turned against his own country. Mr. Bellegarde, the Minister from Havtif, made a speech in the League of Nations in which he criticized the whole system of the British Empire. Lord Robert Coulson up a few days after and said to the members of the League, "It shows the spirit of the League of Nations that the representative of one of the smallest republic in the world could rise and criticize the whole British Empire without any objection from its members." Suppose for instance, this country was a member of the League of Nations, what would happen? If a petition was brought to the League against lynching, Jim Crowism and segregation some representative of some smaller country might rise again and tell the League what they think of the conditions, and may be the representative from the United States may say the same thing that it is surprising that the representative of such a small country could criticize the whole fabric of the American government. A Precodent Established So you see there is a person dedicated and in view of the fact that it is established it is absolutely necessary for the Negro to take heart. You must love one another. You must take the Universal Negro Improvement Association more seriously than you have taken it. It is not a local association. We have gone to Europe. We have been entertained and we have entertained also and people over there expect to come to the United States and be entertained by our association. That is why every day in speaking to a crowd of people here I tell them that it is absolutely necessary that we put our house in order because we are no more a local people but we are an international people. We have friends who will visit us almost any time. The secretary of the Society for the defense of Weaker People may visit at any time the ex-President of Switzerland may come to the United States at any time and call on us because when they invited us to comment they took pains to page a circular and have you write your name and address on it, so when they come to the country where you live they expect to hunt you up. So not having any home in New York, I am took paints to put down "54 56 West 133th street" and that is where they are going to find me. In case I am not there, but in San Francisco, I want you to make a good front Before I close I am going to say this much. That when Egypt becomes a member of the League of Nations there will be more princes there. Although Turkey is a Mohammedan country we cannot do like some folks—say bad things about Turkey. Just because it is Mohammedan, although we are a Christian race, but we know that the majority of people in Africa are Mohammedan; so if we want to show any sense at all we must be very careful about discussing these questions. I want to say that when Turkey gets in there we will have a few more friends. It is said somewhere that "Princes shall come out of Egypt." When we went into the League of Nations and we found that we had to get official help in order to override the article of the League barring us as an association to enter to have our petition presented, we thought for a minute that we would have to depend on our friend, Mr Bollegarde; but we wanted to spare him the trouble. We did not want him to have to say too much in order that they may not think that he came there with the intention of raising "Cain" at all times. But we caught, and I must say to you tonight --- that our petition has been presented officially by princes (Applause) We did not have to have our good friend the Minister from Haiti! I present our petition and it will suffice me to say to you that the prophecy has been fulfilled (Applause) I do not know how it happened. We could have had an ordinary man to do it, we could have had a delegate from Brazil to do it, we could have had Mr. Bellagelo do it but the petition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been officially presented by princes. (Applause) Hon I A I wrote said that after HART & CO., INC., TO OPEN FIRST NEGRO DEPART- MENT STORE IN HARLEM The business development of our two group is not only of the very first importance in Holland, but in all parts of the country where we have any considerable number of our people in a given community. We need business development in order to keep the money in the family and to make business openings for our young people who are coming out of the schools all the time and cannot find openings in the small or large of establishments operated by white people and who grow rich in many instances by the patronage of our group. We have many business enterprises in Harlem that have grown from small businesses to large ones in the past few years, and we are going to have more of them in we should have. Among the small concerns that started years ago and have grown to large proportions is that of A. L. Hart & Co. They began business as a fast and tenet store. On the inflection of this month this same firm with small beginnings will open an extensive business as the components of the ground floor of the new Renaissance Building at the corner of 135th and Seventh avenue. This building in itself one of the most interesting business developments of the race in Harlem. It is an architectural beauty and attracts much attention on this account. The fact that Hart & Co. Inc. has secured the ground floor of this building covering nearly a quarter of a block of space is a matter of historic importance to us all as it should mark a new era of our business development in Harlem. The general public is extended in invitation to inspect this first Harlem department store north of 125th street, conducted by men of the race on Friday night, December 16. A very great surprise and a vast fund of gratification are promised to all who accept the invitation and we are all proud of the business enterprise of Hart & Co. Inc., and the splendid confidence they have in the purchasing power of our group as shown by launching out as the live on such a large scale. We are sure that their confidence will be justified by the generous support of the people. than two solid pages.

WALROND In sculpture the degree is just beginning to find expression. Mesta Warwick Fuller of Boston, a former pupil of Bodin, is the only sculpture of whom the race can justly be proud. This was up to a few weeks ago, before the discovery of Augusta Savage, a twenty-year-old colored girl of Green Cove Springs, Florida. Augusta is a student in the "life" class of Cooper Union and has a very interesting story to tell. Interesting not only because she is the first girl of any race to complete three years' work at this famous institute in six weeks, but because she is a mixture—a primitively sensitive one—of poets, sculptors, portrait artist. She lives in a poorly lighted room in Upper Harlem, and while putting the tilting touches to a bust she is making of Marcus Curvey, told me the story of her life. Just three years ago, while on a visit to Palm Beach, Augusta was driving on a wagon with Prof. Mickens, principal of the public school which she was attending. They were pushing a pottery. In front of it were heaps and heaps of soft clay. As soon as the girl saw it became excited, she jumped off the wagon. She wished a Mr. Thiese, for some of it and a little intervention twenty-five pounds were given her. Augusta woke up and with agitated fingers modelled a status of the Virgin eight inches high. She took JIM HENN "We Posit OPEN OUR B FRIDAY EVENING At 8 Leave Your Money at Home SATURDAY, D DOOR8 OPEN FROM THERE'LL BE BARG At Prices to Knock You' B BE SURE TO The Grand B SATURDAY, D STARTING JIM HENRY Says:— "We Positively Will OPEN OUR NEW STORE" FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15 At 8 P.

Thorough training in it to Prof. Mickens, who was amazed at the delicacy with which it was executed. Prof. Mickens showed it to Mr. Chase, the potter. A consultation followed. The upshot of the matter was Prof. Mickens persuaded the girl to instruct a class in modeling at his school. Mr. Chase donated the clay for the work. Augusta taught modeling at $1 a day for six months. At the West Palm Beach County Fair a year ago last March Miss Savage asked permission to exhibit some of her work. This was an unusual request. Augusta provided vision for everything one expects to find at a county fair, but certainly not for the work of an untutored sculptress. However, Mr. George Graham Curric, superintendent of the fair, of whom we shall hear more later on in the story, granted permission to her. At the fair Augusta's sculpture elicited enthusiastic praise. A number of "Yankees" had come down to Palm Beach and quite a number of them commented on her work. Her statuettes sold for 25 cents to $5. Through Mr Curric's kindness the County Fair voted her $25 in prizes and an honor ribbon. United States Senator Tom Campbell of Florida was among those who came forward, shook her hand and urged her to come to New York to study. Prof. Augusta was like a lamb entrap in a barren wilderness. Fortunately, Mr. Curric while on a trip to New York had met the late Solon Hammel Borgam. America's fa- RY Says:— Rively Will "NEW STORE" G, DECEMBER 15 P. M.

One day, very reluctantly, she tipped into the great man's office. Mr. Borgium's secretary greeted her. She told him her mission. The secretary went back and told Mr. Borgium "There is a Negro girl outside who wants to study sculpture." Mr. Borgium invited her in. As she entered her rose and offered her in his chair and told what made her think she could ever be a sculptor. She sat down and told him the simple story of her life. While the girl talked uninterrupted Mr. Borgium half closed his hawkite eyes and fixed his steady gaze on her. When she finished he said "Young lady, I am very pleased to hear your story, but from what you say you haven't any money, and the young ladies who come are the children of the rich and pay immense fees." However, Mr. Borgium offered to help her to get in Pratt's or Cooper Union, and gave her a letter to Miss Kate L. Reynolds, principal of Cooper Union, with the consulting remark, "And if she can't get you in, come back to me." At Cooper Union Augusta found 142 girls on the waiting list. But she was the only girl with colored man who undananted, "spoke up for her." The result was Miss Reynolds asked to see some of her work. A few days later she took down a bust of a Negro minister she had made. Miss Reynolds liked it and said she would let the girl hear from her in a few days. Promptly the next morning Augusta received a ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` HON. MARCUS GARVEY card notifying her that she would be admitted. That was the second week in October, 1921. In February, 1922, Augusta's funds began to run out. She went to Miss Reynolds and told her she would have to discontinue her studies. Miss Reynolds nearly wept. She gave the girl a letter to a friend on Fifth avenue, who gave her temporary employment. In the meantime Miss Reynolds promised to do everything she could for her. A special session of the Advisory Council of Cooper Union was called to consider Augusta's case. It adopted a resolution to give financial aid to the girl. The circumstances, as Miss Reynolds pointed out to the writer, warranted it. Ordinarily it takes four years to complete a sculpture course at Cooper Union. When Augusta went to work, she was put in the first year class. She stayed in it two weeks. In the second year class she stayed one month. Now she is in the "life" class, which is the fourth year. George Graham Currie in the "Bongs of Florida" dedicates the following poem to Augusta, "a young sculpture, in acknowledgment of her effort to make a bust of the author": RECREATED Augusta is a sculptress fine— A poetess as well: Her coal black hair and eyes that shine A soulful story tell. Her agile step, her lissome grace, Her happy, carefree mien. Proclaim her over her swarthy race A veritable queen. But other malds, such attributes Might boast as well as her; And that she is common, Heaven re- fines, Or also my muse must cry. THE FIGHTING [Signature] the reader to determine whether it is good poetry or not. THE OLD HOMESTEAD I visited today the old homestead. Deserted now for many busy years. Explored again with memory inden tread The birthplace of so many hopes and fears. The windlass seemed to creak a doleful tune. The mocking birds that used to sing so gay Seemed all forgetful of the month of June. The time to sing their morrisest roundolay. The meadow that to childish eyes did seem To stretch into the distance mile on mile Is but a glen, and now the raging stream Is just a little brook that tries to smile. The brier vines are trailing near the ground. The old red barn will never look the same. And nothing seemed familiar till I found The maple bough whereon I carved my name. It used to stretch far out before the door. Where through its leaves the sun-beams used to play And make a dappled shadow on the floor Of perches fallen now into decay. And down my time-scorred cheek there creep a tear For those who sleep beneath the ocean's foam. And then a sigh for other hearts so dear That rest so gently breath the mind of home. And again: MY SOUL'S GOTHRAHNAME At the fork of life's high road since I stand And the hour of my compulsions of my hand In my soul's Gothrahname I have will your calls in my And it strengthens me to know my understanding. Contains we have found some amusing MISS AUGUSTA SAVAGE Working on Bust of Hon. Marcus Gassay we can gloriously be proud of Miss Havage plans, in her efforts to get a larger scope of training, to "wow" bishops of district and Nero civilians, including Mme. Lella Walker Wilson, Harry T. Burleigh and the late Bert Williams. Through the efforts of Miss Endie Peterson, the librarian, she has done an excellent bust of W. E. B. Du Bols, which will be presented to the 138th street branch of the Public L- ibrary at a special function shortly after the Christmas holidays. HARVEY'S GREATER MIN- More people visited the Harvey Greater Minstrel last season than ever before. The fixed policy of Mr. Harvey is to render a dollar's worth of amusement for a dollar. The value of amusement is measured by the entertainment it gives. Millions of theatre patrons have learned Harvey, in connection with minstrel means quality and quantity. What is easily recognised as the Harvey spirit greets the audience at the first rise of the curtain; one is made to feel designs, enterprise, optimism. Harvey has made minstrel history, just as Edison made history in the realm of intercommunication. Just as Curtis made history in the region of aviation, one has it M. Harvey made history in the realm of minstrel. There is always satisfaction and pleasure when you go to see the Harvey Greater Minstrel. The confidence that goes with knowing the years of experience in providing amusements is a positive guarantee of satisfaction behind the performance. This company comes to the Lafayette Theatre next Monday for the week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. There will be a big feature midnight show Friday night. The United Colored Democracy will run a SPECIAL TRAIN to Albany for the Inauguration ceremonies of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Call at 112-West 150th Street any evening between 8 and 11 for particulars. "SEVEN-ELEVEN" LATEST ATTRACTION BOOKED FOR PORCELAIN PLAYHOUSE Even Hobbesman and Herald Howard will be the big attraction at the La Fayette Theatre this spring in the latest musical comedy play, entitled "Novel- Elvet." The organization numbers some forty people, including a number of celebrated stars of balloon-wide reputation. Such favorites, as Spey, Smith, Mae Brown, A. B. De Conotherne, Harrington Carter, Hilaria, Friend, and A real us to the minute beauty, will present one of the fastest aggregations yet seen here. According to the advance, dope, the play has a real plot that materializes and is worked out in a logical manner. The plot satisfies the name of "Sweet Eleven" and the trend is easily followed and understood. Several of the cast are old favorites who were stars of exemplary brilliance, with the late Lorebite Hill and his wonderful "Darkbrown College" company, of some eight years ago. Evan Robinson was one of those super-greats and will always be remembered. Another pleasing and interesting fact was that this company was trained and developed by two well-known favorites of the musical comedy world who happen to be women—Evan Robinson and little Mae Brown. These two energetic daughters of Eve have worked hard day and night with retentile courage to perfect the work of this organization, and deserve a world of credit for their courageous efforts. Garland Howard is the general director of the company and has gone to considerable expense to present the best in this particular field of effort. He has, a splendid aggregation of artists comprising the various departments of play from the chorus girls throughout. And he has gone to no little expense adequately to gown and costumes them.

FERRIS As I stood for half an hour shortly after noon on Whalley avenue, New Haven, Conn., on Saturday, November 23, and watched hundreds of automobiles of every description, with women occupants clad in the most gorgeous and expensive furs moving to the Yale Bowl to witness the annual clash between Yale and Harvard, I reflected that football was somewhat different from what it was when the Yale-Harvard annual game was staged in Hampden Park. Springfield, Mass., twenty-eight years ago, when De Land's flying V, Butterworth's brilliant runs and Hinkey's deadly tackles were the spectacular features of the game. Then the majority of the twenty or twenty-five thousand who journeyed by rail from Boston, New Haven and New York were Yale and Harvard students and alumni or football fans, and the game itself was the sole attraction. But now it is different. Tens of thousands are not students or alumni of the rival universities and who are not football fans eagerly seek tickets, and the game itself is not now the sole attraction. The distinguished persons present, the beautiful dresses and expensive furs worn by pretty girls and the powerful touring cars driven by millionaires are counter attractions to the twenty-two brawny youths who are trying to carry the ball over the goal line or kick it over the horizontal goal bar and between two upright posts. The football game between Yale and Harvard in the Yale Bowl, crowded with seventy-seven thousand spectators that breached November afternoon, was a presentation of American civilization in its meridian splendor. The players and the younger spectators were either representatives of the best families or poor youths struggling to rise in the world, while the middle-aged and older people represented society leaders, and men who had gone out in the world, made their way and come to display their wealth as well as to see the game. So it was with the eighteen thousand colored people who assembled in the American League Park in Washington, D.C. on Thanksgiving Day and distributed themselves at the reception and dances in the Coliseum, the Colonnade and the Convention Hall in the evening. They, too, represented the civilization of the American Negro at its high water mark. They represented colored people who have gone out into the world and won their spurs and the youths who will be the future leaders of the race. I have witnessed over a score of football games between Yale, Harvard Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and the Indians. I have seen Laurie Bills, Frank Butterworth and Brink Thorne of Yale, Roper of Princeton, Hare and McCracken of the University of Pennsylvania and Harold Weekes of Columbia make sensational runs in my college days, and I have seen Mahan and Hardwick of Harvard skirt the ends when the Yale bowl was first opened. But I have never seen the spectacular running of Byrd and McLean of Lincoln and Doneghy of Howard and the catching of forward passes by "Whirlwind" Johnson of Lincoln and the Lincoln Hammond Thanksgiving day in the American League Park of Washington surpassed. I will endeavor to paint an impressionistic picture of the drama as it unfolded itself to my eyes, so that the reader can see what I saw. The first thing that impressed me as I alighted from the trolley at Georgia avenue and U street and started toward the field, was that I saw nearly eight hundred automobiles parked on every avenue and side street leading to the American League Park and in the park. They were of German, English, French, Italian and American make. I saw a brand new Royal Bens with mahogany interior. I saw a brand new German Mercedes and the Rolls-Royce. I saw the Lancet, an Italian car, and the Peugeot, a French car. Then the American car, like the Porsche Facadar, Locomobile, Maran, Burton, Pierce-Arrow, Oldsmobile and Lafayette. Dr. P. D. Burke, of Norfolk, came up with his party in both a Marmob and a Packard. Then in the intermission between the halves I walked into the field and saw the assembly which represented colored America. Many of the most distinguished men and women of the East, South, Middle West, Southwest and Far West were present in that galaxy. The handsome women were tastefully and beautifully groomed in mink, earl, ocelot and Russian able delamana. Their heads were crowned with gold cloth turbans and French aglitteres. One woman's throat was circled with a pearl ringlet, while her brasset was studded with diamonds. And the sun was shining with royal splendour. The sky was cloudless. The clearness of the air reminded me of Greece, and the day was as warm, and balmy as a provender Indian summer day. Such was the setting for a football game that has already marked an epoch in Nigeria history. seat in the reservoir box section, I saw the players struggling near Lincoln's goal in the northern section of the field. Finally Lincoln secured the ball and the players began the series of plays which resulted in Lincoln's first touchdown. Byrd's Spentacular Run As the game was described in detail in The Negro World last week, I will only mention the four plays in which the scores were made. Lincoln's first touchdown, scored in the second period, was one of the most sensational plays that I have ever witnessed. Carter of Howard caught Lincoln's kick on Howard's 40-yard line and Doneghy made five yards through guard. Then Doneghy of Howard, by a long kick, sent the ball near Howard's goal. McLean catching it. Johnson gained eight yards on a brilliant end run, and the ball was on Lincoln's 40-yard line. Byrd took his place. And then the unexpected happened. He slipped between guard and tackle so suddenly that he took the secondary offense off of its guard. He pushed the ball the situation he dashed to the basket, and he was speeding like a deer towards the Howard goal. He was not overtaken, and his seventy-yard run netted Lincoln's first touchdown, from which Crudop kicked a goal. The score stood 7 to 0 in favor of Lincoln, and pandemonium reigned for a few moments. The Sensational Fourth Period This was the period in which Howard woke up and scoped two touchdowns while Lincoln scored one. It was Lincoln's ball on her 10-yard line. McLane makes 5 yards through the line. Lincoln attempts to kick. Long blocks the kick. Nurse of Howard captures it. races 10 yards and makes Howard's first touchdown amid great din and noise. Carter of Howard fails to kick the goal and the score stands 7 to 6 in favor of Lincoln. Then Lincoln kicks off. Melton of Howard catches it and runs back 10 yards. Then Melton, Carter and Donehy of Howard make eight gains on the Minnesota left shift. Carter of Howard makes a forward pass which is captured by —— —— of Lincoln. Then Lincoln gets busy. McLean makes a long 40-yard forward pass which was caught by Johnson. He then makes a forward pass which is caught by Wood. The ball was brought back for offside play. McLean makes another forward pass over the goal line. The ball was given to Howard on her 20-yard line. Lincoln then smothers Howard's left shift and gets the ball. On the next play McLean skirts Howard's left and 20 yards for a touchdown. McLean fails to kick the goal and the -score stands 18 to 6 in favor of Lincoln. Lee of Lincoln kicks off. Doneghy of Howard fumbles, but Contee of Howard captures the ball and makes a 10-yard run. Howard then gains 20 yards by a forward pass. Carter of Howard then starts to run around left end and makes a forward pass which is caught by Moleson. Carter makes a short forward pass and then goes through Lincoln's line for a 20-yard formation. Molton of Howard scores leaf formation but no goal is kicked, and the score stands 18 to 13 in favor of Lincoln. In the remaining one minute Doneghy of Howard kicks off. McLean of Lincoln runs back around left end for 10 yards. Lincoln is penalized 10 yards for offside play and then time is called. Analysis of the Game McLean, Byrd, Johnson and Skinner of Lincoln and Donehy, Carter, Nurse and Smith of Howard were the outstanding stars of the game. Lincoln's center outplayed Howard's, while Nurse of Howard more than held his own off tackle with Coston. Lincoln made 6 first downs and Howard made 21 first downs, yet Lincoln made two touchdowns on straight play, while Howard only made one touchdown on straight play. This was because Lincoln was better on kicking and forward passing than Howard. This equalized matters. Then Lincoln rose to the emergency. She held Howard on the 8-yard line in the first part of the first period and took advantage of every opportunity. And that is why she frequently menaced her opponent's goal and scored more touchdowns on straight play. But this is the real reason why Lincoln outplayed Howard and kept in the left the last two-thirds of the game: Lincoln went in to use every play known in the football book of strategy. Howard went on the field armed with just as many plays, but under strict orders not to execute them until the coach gave the signal to open up. Thus in the first two periods Howard was limited to a restricted number of plays of straight line blocks and forward passing when she was within scoring distance of her opponent's goal. That is why Lincoln outplayed Howard in the first three periods. But when Howard opened up with everything, she had in the fourth period and brought into play the Minnesota shift the look-strip shift, where the back crotch the triangular formation, where the power is massed at a single point, and the clover leaf formation, on which the power has second touchdown, she outplayed Lincoln and scored twice to Lincoln once. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 later, while Howard couldn't kick a goal after she scored two touchdowns. That is why the score ended 18 to 18 in favor of Lincoln. Coach Laws and Captain W. R. Coston of Lincoln and Captain W. R. Morison and Captain G. Williams of IHWond deserve credit for the high class of football played by their teams. Dr. Scott Praised Great credit is due the administrative and executive genius of Dr. Emmet J. Scott, the secretary-treasurer of Howard University, for the systematic, clocklike manner and machine-like precision with which all of the details of the dinner to the editor, the football game and the two receptions and dances in the coliseum were attended to and carried out. The Howard Alumni Sentinel For the first time in its history, the Alumni Association has elected an executive secretary in the person of Dr. William A. Sinclair, at a salary of $3,000 a year. It has also started the publication of a monthly called The Howard Alumni Sentinel, the first number of which is before us. Yale has an alumni weekly, Harvard, a Harvard Graduates' Magazine. So no objection can be raised to the Howard alumni publishing an Alumni Sentinel. Pictures of Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, the president of the General Alumni Association; of Dr. Sinclair and of Prof. William H. Richards and Prof. Kelly Miller, former presidents, appear on the front page. Prof. Neval H. Thomas contributes an article on "Howard's Alumni, Her Greatest Asset." James H. Carter contributes an article on "Is He's Howard's Trustee Board Responsive to the Alumni?" And an old alumnus contributes an article on "Howard Memories." A sketch of Dr. William A. Sinclair also appears. The must interesting article in the Sentinel is the address of Attorney J. Thomas Newcome, which was delivered before the Howard Alumni Association in June, 1923. Part of the address is published in the current issue of the Sentinel. It will be continued in the next issue. This address of Attorney Newcomae compares. favorably with the addresses delivered at the Yale and Harvard alumni dinners. It shows a comprehensive graap of modern problems. Attorney Newcomae says: "Miracles are being wrought about us daily, so that we should not be surprised at any moment to discover sources of power coming from the stored, potential energy of our planet, that will completely revolutionize our boasted knowledge and belief as to the probable length of life of this one of ours. Accepted theories are often based upon once thought to be self-evident facts to be susceptible of demonstration. Einstein comes toward with his new theory, or rather proven fact, regarding relativity; and evolution has actually given us a firmer faith in God." We are glad to see the. Attorney Newcomae not only has a grasp on the Negro question but on American problems and world problems. Prof. Naval H. Thomas in his article "Howard's Alumni, Her Greatest Assets," says: "The greatest asset of a university is its alumni. Classic Oxford and Cambridge are famed for their excellent courses and the scholarship of their professional staff; but they get their greatest fame from the long line of illustrious men whom they have schooled, and who have achieved fame in the world. A university should be a vast co-operative scheme between trustees, administrative staff, faculty and alumn." Mr. James M. Carter in his article "Is Howard's Trustee Board Responsive to the Alumni?" says, "Our Trustees Board is a closer, self-perpetuating corporation. No alumni representation is to be found among its members. Nor is there any desire, expressed or suggested, for alumni advice or opinion. Now what will our Trustee Board do to save the spirit of Howard, which is all that is distinctively Howard? It must be saved and at any cost." President J. Stanley Durkee Dr. Rolfie Cobleigh, managing editor of The Congregationalist, in the education number, July 27, 1932, says of President James Stanley Durke, "Relegation of this evidence of progress and the erection of a new home economics and dining hall building costing $101,000 (dedicated in June) and the high quality of work done in the various departments, the trustees of the university in June expressed their interest in the work in the administration of President Dr. Kuee, and their "cordial approval of the energy, sound judgment and administrative efficiency of the president and other administrative officers." The Administration and the Alumni The rivalry between the Administration and the Alumni was observed by many visitors. On the night before the Thanksgiving game Howard University gave a dinner in honor of the editors and reporters who came to write up the Lincoln-Hawkeye game, in its magnificent dining hall. The game evening, the Alumni held a magnificent dinner in the Whitney Hotel. On Thanksgiving,midt Howard University staged a magnificent reception and dance in the Coliseum. The Alumni staged a dance and reception in the Lincoln Coliseum. This Thanksgiving took the Administration and the Alumni at HAIR LIKE POLISHED EBONY ZURA, famous Queen of the Moors had soft long hair which shone like the Raven's wing The Ancient Moorish Secret of shampooing the hair, now accessible to the race How often have you admired people with long, shining hair, soft and luxurant?

ZURA, Inc. 608 Clinton Street, Kirkwood, MO 63041 MORE INFORMATION: www.zurashampoo.com Dr. Spett and the trustees has shows remarkable efficiency, but that it does not always regard and treat the aliminal and faculty as men and tends somewhat to dismiss the students and throw a wet blenken over their aspiration, enthusiasm and budding manhood and womanhood. Whether these are real or imagined grievances I do not know. But I do know that there has been a silent, secret and powerful propaganda against men of color who have manifested individuality and independence of thought, character and utterance during the past quarter of a century. This propaganda has worked adroitly through the-program of withholding educational, coolexistical, editorial and political jobs. How far the trustees of Howard have been affected by this propaganda I do not know, as many moons have risen and set since I have had the pleasure of a heart to heart and close communion talk with any of the trustees It is true that a great university is a business institution and should be managed on business lines. Dr. Timothy Dwight held that the university ideal was not only to turn out breadwinners, but to produce men and develop human personality, and that the ideal university man was a man of high character, who knew something about everything and everything about something. He himself was as remarkable an example as Cardinal Newman of the university, and that of Dr. Timothy Dwight has been incarnated in Howard and other Negro colleges and universities I do not know. But what the Negro race needs to help it on its upward journey is men who are citizens of the modern world. We have usually been considerate in our judgment of university heads because the relations between the trustees and the alumni, the president and the deans, the deans and other members of the faculty, the faculty and the students and the students and the outside world involve many complicated factors, so that it is not easy to reach the state of stable equilibrium, fold the hands, lie back in an easy chair and say, "All of my problems have been solved. I can now rest in peace." New and unexpected emergencies arise for which there is no precedent. New problems arise for which new solutions must be found. In the same time the Caucasian people have been running governments and business enterprises for nearly twenty-five centuries and universities for nearly one thousand years, and a few generalizations may be made from the experiences of the past. In big industrial enterprises efficiency has been produced, by a clock-like precision where every man becomes a cog in a machine, and where the individual does not have free play. An aristocracy can produce more efficiency within a brief space of time than a democracy, because there is counter wills to buck against it. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY or UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION The best example of efficiency in modern times was the war and industrial machine of the ex-Kaiser of Germany. At the same time aristocratic Germany did not give room for the free play and development of human personality as did democratic America, democratic France and semi-democratic England. The problem, then, in a university is to produce efficiency and at the same time have room for the free play and development of personality. The Howard University of ten and twenty years ago was defective in that she did not keep breast of modern progress. Some of the professors and especially some of the colored professors, circled in caddies and were stuck there in an informal suite. They did not understand the breath of a new journal life, and did not welcome the obliterated who came from the big universities of the East with new and advanced lines in philosophy, psychology, theology, sociology, science and literature. "They called courageous and progressive philosophers 'dangerous.' I do not know whether the academic administration of Howard University has built up a machine which leaves little room and scope for the development of five personalities." The answer is a democracy. "But I do know that Howard University cannot go beyond." HE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U. N. I. A. DIVISIONS IGH COMMISSIONER C. H. BRYANT ADDRESSES LARGE GATHERING IN KINGSTON, JAMAICA MADAM IDA B.

On Sunday, October 15, a large gathering met at Liberty Hall to welcome Commissioner C. H. Bryant on his return from the third annual international convention. Mr. Bryant came to Jamaica, and while he remained in that island (according to press reports, he addressed the Kingston Division of the U. N. L. A. at the Ward Theatre, as also at the Conversarium. At both these places other votaries were well represented. Mr. Bryant has brought with him many recollections, and has given a partial account of the convention. In addressing his hostess, he brought out some very strong points, showing the wisdom of the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his endeavor to bring the Negroca into one contiguous whole. by the years of study, training and experience. Bryant is exceptionally well prepared to interpret the minds of our people in these restless days, and to offer helpful suggestions and proper constructive remedies for our social welfare. He delivered an address that was profound in logic, eloquence in diction and full of inspiration. Our Commissioner has certainly developed the wonderful gift of didactic matters. He hopes to deliver in full all matters transmitted at the convention as a subsequent date. Mr. Daniel, T. Roberts, the branch's president, was the next speaker, and in part, said: "Officers, well-wishers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we are enveloped here this evening to welcome Commissioner back to our hall. He left us a little while and journeyed across the Caribbean to the U. S. A. to present, the grievances of the Negroes dwelling in this section of the New World." Turning to the Commissioner he said, "Sir, we are indeed glad to welcome you back to Costa Rica, and I do unbeliefly hope that the Negroes in this republic and its adjacent surroundings shall never have prince of you. You have served this organization with undyielded energy; you have surrendered your money, title and talent. In behalf of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Port Limon, I congratulate you on your appointment, as Commissioner to Panama, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. May you be blessed." Tiring to this, hearers again, he said. Ladies and gentlemen, we have crossed another milestone on our way to an other land. We have for years been wood cutters and water carriers; now we have but very few trees to sell and just a couple of basketfuls to complete. We are present living as alions and酥麻民 in another man's country, now by our dolls are unable to atight, mermaid, and judicial development that we would otherwise have inhabited here, we on our own soil. I believe we unite as a people, we must certainly remain in the background. I want you my people, to realize that the texture of the hair and the color of the skin are the badges of disgrace, as calculated by some of our father, completed brethren. Come white and you are from that race whom the hath blessed. Come black and you are a mind inparate. We have a great task before us, but look not upon the difficulties that surround us. Pilgrim, wide-open your windows and dobra, and let the sunlight in. The sunlight of love, the sunlight of application and the sunlight of unity. "And, when you get unified, remain together. As Negroes, we must know our country, we must know the needs of our people, and must be ready to offer our aid. Unless we are able to give some hope, we must give up our places as leaders. The Negroes leaders of today must be men and women of many parts, so that the tutored as well as the untutored will believe in and be guided by their vision. We must have the courage of our convictions, to help others toward the promised land with the full determination to return and control every foot of land on that continent which we proudly call our Motherland Ladies and gentlemen. I thank you The vice-president was the next speaker introduced, and in part said, "Mr. chairman, ladies and gentlemen it is indeed pleasant to note that the development of our work has reached to gratifying dimensions. We have had leaders in the past scattered all over the world, as we have today, but the aim and aspiration of the old Negro seemed vague, but we did not quite understand them. Further they too often quarreled amongst themselves and left us with a spirit of doubt, though there were fewer tristrators among them. The traitors in our ranks now are numerous, chiefly among West Indiana, but it seems to me that the aim of the new Negro, led by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, has the definite purpose of freedom. The West Indian Negro is obstinate and will not aid in the redemption of his race. When I recall the treatment meted out to the members of my race, if my tears could obliterate the thought I would weep, but may God direct our leader in the struggle. We have heard a great deal expressed concerning the movement, and I hope you will not allow yourselves to be carried away by the whims and caprices of skeptical Negroes. Attune yourselves more and more to thinking, feeling and acting in the broader interest of the entire race and less in the narrower interest of self. In conclusion allow me to say that we should not weaken the morale of any person by some untimely or disloyal remarks, but should strive to imbue others with our loyalty and burning enthusiasm for the cause, and with an inflexible spirit of supporting the U. N. I. A. to a victorious finish. Then another address was ably delivered by the Lady President, Mrs. J. A. Franklin, saying in part that this is a step near African; let us march onward; though we have many difficulties yet we find the truths of God's teachings through the U. N. I. A. are rapidly spreading; we are still growing and we expect to see greater growth. And among other things she made special references to the Black Cross Nurses under the able leadership of Miss Robertson. Miss Robertson, she said, deserved a modicum of praise and she hoped that the time would not be far distant when our Black Cross unit would be able to measure up to the standard of those of other branches. Several sacred selections were heartily rendered, chief among which was one by a quartet, entitled "Unity in Strength." The next was an address by Mr. J. L. Barnes, ex-president of the Tampico branch, Mexico. Mr. Barnes in a few well chosen words gave a brief history of the branches of the U. N. I. A. operating in that section of the Negro world, as also the productivity of the soil and the productions of the country, both industrially and intellectually. President Barnes is indoubtedly a versatile speaker and within a credit to his race. On the whole the real spirit of the U. N. I. A. is beginning to manifest itself in the division, accelerated by the litterary lectures that are being delivered by our commis- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 sister. We are, however, glad to state that the U. N. I. A. has done more toward getting our people together in this republic than any other organization that has heretofore been founded here. The president, in his closing remarks and in his legal eloquent style, captivated, encouraged, entertained and enlightened the whole audience with his sound, clear and masterly representation of the U. N. I. A. The singing of our national anthem wound up the evening's proceedings HEADLIGHTS FROM BRILLIANT SPEECH DELIVERED IN OAKLAND, CALIF By MRB. LOI8 PITTMAN Lady President, Local No. 183, Universal Negro Improvement Association The following comment was culled from the wonderful speech delivered to Local No. 188, U N I A. Sunday afternoon November 19 by Mr. Brett G. Gregr of Czecho-Blovakia. We were reminded that Czecho-Blovakia started her government in America, and in 1918 declared herself free and independent, and was so recognized by the powers of the world. Today she is one of the most stable and model governments in Europe. Mr. Gregr said that for 400 years his people had struggled under the German suppression, many of them suffering torture and death. Notwithstanding this unjust persecution, they forever kept alive the spark of hope, until finally they won their freedom and liberty. "The work is large, there is room for every one," and "Why shouldn't a man who came from a certain land own the land from which he came" I want to have a home and in my own home be master," were some of the utterances that brought forth deafening applause. A noble tribute was also paid the race, when he recounted a knowledge of our ancient Egyptian history, possibly better than some of us, and that our stuggle was just and noble Among other things of interest to the members was that Antone Vorek, composer of an American symphony, that was rated a musical masterpiece, was a Czechoslovakian, and when congratulated on his composition said that his work would have been nothing had it not been for the plantation melodies of the appressed colored people in the Southland, because the expression of their soul's agony and anguish was the real and only original American folk song. Throughout the lecture we were admonished thus: "You must not give up the struggle" "Don't fight amongst yourselves" "Trust your leaders." Although there are many deserving of leadership, there is only room for one at a time. "One who wants to help does not have to be always at the front; he can fight as well in the rear!" "You must be faithful to your leader." "Every one is entitled to be free, and your cause is noble." "Do your duty and help your brother across the sea. Just because you are living in comfort is no reason for disregarding your less fortunate brother; for should you fail to help them, who is there to go to their rescuet." Another significant fact mentioned was that every Czecho-Slovakian in America helped morally and financially toward the establishment of their government, and that they were yet continuing to contribute their support.—California Voice, Nov. 24. Dear Fraternal Brothers and Sisters Our God is the same, our aims are identical, our destiny inseverable. It is after a minute consideration of the foregoing that we the officers and members of this division send to you our greetings, asking you cordially to take into consideration the facts that the widest gulf can be bridged and broken walls and fences repaired. At this moment you all have seen how the white man is trying to take advantage of our divided state to oppress us. The scheme they put in practice to unde us is enough to show you that if we keep ourselves divided it will be to their success and our discomfiture. Therefore, come to your hall once more; it is yours and ours: the sweat of your brow is here mingled with ours. We are all the sclops of the same noble ancestors that made Ethiopia famous in the past. We know the beddings of your hearts for the U. N. L. A. are the same as ours. We know you are with us in spirit. Oh! how and we are you will not come and help us swell the anthem, "Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Fathers." The greetings we receive from the parent body from time to time are yours also. Why not join us in our labor of love for the race? Why not unite and work with us so as to assist the Hon. Marus Garvey to hasten the redemption of Africa? Listen to the wise King Solomon: "Work your work before the time and he will give you your reward in time." Let us then put all selfish personalities aside, fling away all foolish bickering and work for the Hon. Marus Garvey all we can: "Before the time" that he marr "reward us in time," for Time is a virted bright illusion Joy and sorrow, light and shade; Turn from sorrows, dark suffusion; Catch the chances are they fade.

November 18, when a mass meeting was called to order under the auspices of the U N I A by Mr J A H. Thorpe, resident of the Bagua la Grande Division. The opening ode was sung in its usual way, "From Greenland's ice Mountains" Mr Thorpe then informed the men of the necessity that caused him to have proposed having a meeting though for away from town in the woods and in their working clothes His purpose, said he was the collecting of money for the Harvey Defense Fund and for swelling the membership of the U N I A for the surrounding delinous names, the Cirogo Aslau and Morón dijonas. The chairman then called for representatives of both divisions to get as secretaries for the writing of names of those who wished to become members also for those who contributed to the fund. In responding to same, Mr F H Mitchell stepped forward and with a masterly address represented the Moron Division. The meeting was well appreciated by all and was successful inasmuch as $37 for the Garvey Defense Fund was collected Eighteen members for the Moron Division and two for Coigo de Avila were enrolled A letter was forwarded to the president of the Moron Division assuring him of the noble work that was being done, and he in responding assured us of his appreciation for same and that on Sunday the 26th either the president or the secretary would be up on the first train with certificate institutions, cards, etc., and to give all the necessary information. On Sunday morning sharp the secretary of the said division, Mr J A. Toldl and Mr V. Fernandes, third vice-president were met at the train station by Mr F H. Mitchell, who escorted them to the camp where the men live. They were received with great joy and after spending the day they were asked to stay over until the evening when they would have a short meeting. The same was performed and was no doubt successful in that $26 was collected for the fund and six more members were secured for the Moron Division. The score for the meeting would have been more had it not been for the short time the secretary and third vice-president had, as the people at Liberty Hall were looking with longing to hear the report that they took back to them. The men at Violeta and its surroundings are in earnest about this noble ideal, and if each section would do likewise at no distant date we would all see the fruits of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. J. A. H. Thorpe has pledged himself to help the surrounding divisions in swolling their membership. A letter of appreciation was sent from the Moron division to the men, congratulating them for the noble steps they have taken. Yours for racial uplift BRANK N MITCHELL.

He informed the audience that this meeting was called for the purpose of unveiling the Black Cross Banner. He made special appeal to all the ladies, informing them that the days are coming when they will be called to do their bit on the battlefields to nurse their men, and the time has fully come, so everyone must stick together and be more determined to help put this great program over Hymn 888. "Children of the Heavenly King." The next address was by Mr D Gallimore, ex-president. He pointed out that the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere must be more in preparation to fight for this downtrodden race. (Aplausse). We are not inferior to other races. We are created by God Almighty, so Negroes must not be afraid. Negroes can go to great colleges in the world and have equal rights with other races. Hymn 873 On Jordan's Stormy Bank The ex-executive secretary, Mr H A Gilroy was then called upon to speak He pointed out those words Onward then to battle move More than conductors ye shall prove Though opposed by many a for Christian soldiers, onward go' The speaker referred to the serious era we are living in that at the present we are opposed by many foes, but we as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must fear no for We are soldiers and we must match onward until we reach our goal (Applause) Turning to the nurses, he said, "You have today plodged yourselves again to work for the redemption of Africa. You have promised that' in all the struggles of life you will stand firm as the Rock of Gibraltar Be like Florence Nightingale, Joan of Arc, Edith Cavell and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis' Rising from the chair the president Mr C. Francis, congratulated the speaker. He said "Ladies, get together. Go out in the highways and edge and bring in the rest of the ladies, for surely our motherland Africa must be free, and not unkill the tribalities of Africa shall be planted and the 400,000,000 scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia get together shall we be equal to other races. Hymn 578. "I will have my Saviour with me," was sung, while the lady president, Miss Trene Richards, and Miss Maud Noble lady first vice- president, unveiled the banner. Closing this hymn, the president informed the nurses that he was indeed pleased at their appearance in Liberty Hall, and as they now have taken another pledge may they never get weary of welf- doing, but fight for the liberation of our land that was exploited from us. Remember the words of Patrick Henry. "Give me liberty or give me death." (Applause.) Hymn 973. "On Jordan's Stormy Bank I Stand."

Other officers and members of this division made grand addresses, hoping that the Hon Marcus Garvey, the great leader of this race, under the Red, the Black and the Green, will live to take us all, as the leader of the U N I A of the world, to the beautiful land of Africa. Tuesday evening Mr Moses Davis, from Africa, made a grand speech. His subject was "Home." It was enjoyed by all present. The Rev E. M Lovell, a cousin to the president, who had just arrived from the South, came to visit us, so he made a very inspiring address and said he hoped some day to learn more of the association. Our annual Thanksgiving sermon will be held at Liberty Hall, 808 Kalgain avenue. Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock Rev James Jackson will deliver the sermon.

Sunday, August 13, will be a day long to be remembered in the history of the Negroes of Central Manah, Cuba, and more especially by the members of the U. N. I. A of this town. On the above-mentioned date the charter of Division No. 323 was unveiled, and the anniversary of the first year's organization of the division was celebrated. The festivities began with a dance on August 10 which was organized and managed by the Merger Wilson, of the Legion with his sister Mary Bayne, vice-president of the Ladies Department, and Stuart Laura Henry, secretary, in charge of refreshments. The function ended successfully, with credit to the managers. The ceremonies on the 13th begin with a procession, which started at 2:40 p.m. from our Liberty Hall, headed by a band of music following the Cuban flag. Behind the band followed the United States flag, the British flag, and the U N I A. A. flag. Behind these walked two young juveniles, who were selected to unveil the charter. Behind these walked Brother W A Brown, chairman of the Board of Trustees, carrying the charter, velled in three flags, the Cuban, American, and our dear Red, Black and green. The chairman was supported on either side by two men of the African Legions. Behind the charter walked the present, Stennett, supported this night by right, who led his left by the executive secretary. After that came the other officers, the African Legions, carrying their flag, and the Black Cross Nurse, also carrying their banner, their beautiful uniforms presenting a picturesque show. Behind the nurses marched the general membership, friends and well-wishers. The procession moved down Jamaica street with the band playing the Cuban national anthem. At the corner of Fifth street we turned into Front street, while the band played the "March of Haracke Men." After we passed the Second Administrator's home we turned into Seventh street, then on across the lawn opposite the theatre, and from thence marched back to Liberty Hall, with the band playing the Ethiopian national anthem. The entire procession was under the command of Lieut. Alex. Bryant, of the African Logians, who did his part well. On our arrival at Liberty Hall the principal ceremonies of the occasion began at 1:30 p.m. in the lobby, where the mooring was opened by the chaplain, Brother J. T. Perris, with the singing of the hymn, "Green Greenmind's Ice Mountains," a prayer and the reading of a passage from the Scripturea. The choir, under the leadership of our talented organist, Brother J. Samuel Bryan, then rendered the beautiful anthem, "Sweet Day," after which the president, in a stirring address, explained the object of the meet- BISHOP I. E.

Another anthem, "Hear the Trumpet Calling," was then rendered by the choir, after which the secretary gave a report of the history of the organization of the division and its progress during the last twelve months. This was followed by a report by the secretary of the Bartio branch, another division recently organized by the president. Brother B. B. Simms, ex first vice-president, had just returned from a ten months' visit to Jamaica, then gave an excellent address, which was well received. Brother W. J. Clark, secretary of the division, then rendered a solo, "Seek Early," after which the charter was unveiled by Honoraria Pacheco, Cuban, and little Miss Francella Dowkins, Jamaican. On the removal of each flag the band played the national anthem of the country represented by each one, including "Ethiopia." The unveiled charter was then handed to the chairman of the Board of Trustees, who, after receiving it, gave it to the chaplain, who in turn presented it along with the gavel to the president with a charge. The president promised by the help of God to stand by it and defend it and the cause it represents. The charge to the other president was to stand in a solemn manner. A solo and chorus, entitled "Forth to the Rescue Go," was then rendered by Brother B B. Simma, and the choir, after which the following program was rendered. Address in Spanish, Sir Ramon Dialog, "The Bells," Mrs. F Dawkins and company Song, "Oh Bells," by choir Address in Spanish by Brother J Lloyd, Solo, "Abide," Mrs. Lea Francis, Address, "Reason Why," by sister C.

A successful concert was held the following night. WM. STENNETT. President. MORON DIV., NO. 374, SENDS GREETINGS November 25. 1822. To Whom It May Concern.— Gentlemen, greetings. I have been authorised by the officers and members of the Moron Division No. 374 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to congratulate you for the way you have exerted your manhood ability and the manifestation of the realisation of racial consciousness in that you have added many links to this great chain, which will eventually stretch around the world. If every man and woman, especially those who are in positions of influence, would do as you have done, soon and very soon the world would re-echo with the sound of tooting horns, proclaiming the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of 400,000,000 Negroes. And to you members, we sincerely hope that you are not whimsical in idea of becoming active members of this great organization. You must realise that your supporting this cause means benefit to our postity. You are undergoing a challenging handicap that this race has undergone for more than 300 years and are still undergoing. And the only way to throw off these burdens is to be THE NECRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 organized. Hence the U. N. L. ... is the only organisation in the annals of history that has boldly and fearlessly stepped forward, agitating in the interest of the whole race. GREETINGS TO THE PRESIDENT, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE U. N. L. A. NEW OFFICERS TO ELECTED IN KNOXVILLE J. S. Nocie who Although moving like a volcanic avalanche, the progress of this movement has been greatly retarded, because of the headlessness of the people concerned. It has achieved much, and could achieve more, but the needs are neglected. Support and unity and oneness of purposes are the needed powers to put the program over. Unity is strength, and all recognised powers of the earth have gained their recognition because of their unity. This organization at no time has ever advocated race hatred as against other races, but has appealed to its race to watch, work and pray for the redemption of our motherland. Africa. At no time has the world been divided into white race or any other race, but you must adopt the good that these races possess and consent the bad. Remembering the Goddes Rule, Do to all men as you would that they should do unto you, that is equal to "love thy neighbor as yourself," and in so doing there is much pleasure to be found in God's sight. Hoping that you will remain loyal to yourselfs, and that by so doing you will be also able to be loyal to the employer and the investment Association. I am, fervently, Respectfully remitted by F N Mitchell DOINGS OF U. N. L. A. IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DOINGS OF U. N. L. A. IN OAKLAND, CALIF. "Do Your Duty" is Urgent Appeal of Eloquent Speaker One of the largest gatherings ever assembled in Carpenter's Hall, Twelfth and Brush streets, greeted the distinguished lecturer and philosopher, Hon. Bret G. Gregr. on last Sunday afternoon. Wholesome advice characterized his masterful discourse. The speaker brought out the importance to the entire world the realization of our ideals would mean. Clearly and decisively did he illustrate the necessity for unity, loyalty and whole-hearted co-operation because there was a lack of these essentials the enemy always had an advantage to harm and injure. "God bless you, do your duty, and do not forget your follower" were the concluding words to one of the grandest lectures it has been our privilege to hear for some time. A thundering outburst of applause greeted the distinguished speaker as he took his seat, then the entire assemblage arose in acknowledgment of their unanimous admiration and respect for this splendid message of hope and inspiration. The juveniles contributed a neat surprise in the form of a dialogue, entitled "Oakland." This number was well rendered and received merited applause. Master Robert J. Drake, the accomplished son of M. S. M. Iman, renamed him M. S. M. Halsall-Nelson. The number showed talent of uncalmual. The Western Nightingale, Mme. Agnes Nelson, sang one of her musical games entitled "Love and Springtime" to which she responded with her soothing favorite, "Deep River." The popular prima donna was at her best in both numbers and was roundly applauded by the audience. Next Sunday afternoon an address will be delivered on the "Righteousness of the U. N. I. A." by Arthur S. Gray. All ministers and church members are urged to be present, as some false impressions regarding the sins of this gigantic organization are to be corrected and analyzed. ARTHUR S. GRAY, California Voice, Nov. 24. Chairman of Publicity. THE U. N. I. A. IN On Sunday, December 3, 1922, a mass meeting was held at liberty Hall, 18th and Washington avenues, with the following officers present: Hon. Winnbush, president; Hon. E. Brown, first vice-president; Hon. Mrs. Hallie M. Brown, lady president; Hon. D. Rev. B. Short, chaplain; Hon. Mrs. D. Danias of Black Nurse, Hon. W. M. Hordison, chairman, Trustee Board; Mr. J. J. Coleman, general secretary; Miss Willia B. Brown, assistant secretary. Meeting opened by singing "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" and prayer led by chaplain; then singing one verse of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," by president, and sung by congregation; then one verse of Universal Ethiopian anthem. Then the meeting was declared open for such business as might be brought before the people. The honorable president was introduced by the first vice-president, who came forth with great power and strength of the spirit of the new Negro and spoke to the point of getting together all Negroes all over the world. At this time the president, Mr. Winbush, introduced the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Duran Short, who came forth with his great strength and power of a mighty orcule. Taking for his subject the 38th chapters of Isaiah and 14th versm. "As a sheep that no man taketh up, they shall all man turn to his own people and flee, everyone into his own land." He presented, one of the most wonderful lessons that have ever been taught in Liberty Hall. The remainder of the few minutes was spent in taking in new members and taking up a collection. GREETINGS TO THE PRESIDENT, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE U. N. L. A. & A. C. L., TITUS TOWN, VA. November 20, 1922. Greetings.—I have the honor to inform you that I have taken up my headquarters as High Commissioner of States for Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. I desire to present to you my credentials from New York. You will therefore call a special meeting and make arrangements to have me in your midst as soon as possible. In keeping with my duties handed to me by the President-General, I am to remain a week or more in every division, instruct the officers in their duties, show them what to do and give them all necessary help and information concerning the constitutional workings of their division. In order to do this you will arrange for a week's mass meeting in your hall or church so that I can explain the aims and objects of the association to the people in your community. When you and I shall have settled the date of my arrival in your city you will go ahead and advertise extensively so that our meetings will be well attended and benefited financially. Half of the collections taken in at these meetings go to your division after deducting my traveling expenses and half to the parent body. Your division will provide for my board and lodging. In the Negro World for this week appears a message from your commissioner requesting all divisions in the State to observe November 27 as a day of prayer, this being the date of the trial of the President-General Kindly inform all concerned accordingly. A special message from your commissioner also appears in this week's issue of the Negro World calling a conference of the presidents of all divisions in Virginia to meet in Norfolk, Va. on December 10 and 11, respectively, in the Liberty Hall of Norfolk Division No. 20, situated at the corner of Church and Princess Anne's avenue. This conference shall be called a m. on Dec. 10, 1922 for the following purposes: 1. Discussing the registration and incorporation of the organization in the State of Virginia. 2. Discussing the proper interpretation of certain sections of the constitution and general laws, and drafting of by-laws and duties of officers for the better government of all divisions locally. 3. Discussing the establishment of an efficient system of bookkeeping for all divisions. 4. Discussing the advisability of maintaining an office for the Commissioner of States in keeping with the dignity and honor of his position. 5. Discussing the best ways and means of protesting effectively against the varied wrongs pointed out to members of the race in the State of Virginia. All these are matters of the greatest importance and must be attended to at once. You will therefore delegate your president to represent you at this conference. If he is unable to come then send the next ablest active officer or member you have, approved by the members. Your representative is requested to come fully prepared to discuss these problems intelligently and successfully. Write immediately for all information relative to the workings of your division and let me know in advance when you are ready to welcome me as your commissioner. With brotherly love and Christian salutations. a Free and Hededed Africa S. A. HATENY Commissioner of States. Norfolk, Va. Novembis 19. Sapulca Division No. 390 convened at 3 o'clock, Sunday, November 10. The house was called to order by President W. C. Serruga. Devotional exercise was conducted by Rev. H. Vann, after which the president made quite an interesting talk concerning the U. N. I. A. He showed in his speech that the association has reached down and picked up from the slums men and women who had become absolutely worthless and placed them in honorable positions. He said in his speech that no local organization could be compared with the U. N. I. A. He said that local organizations have been laboring diligently for fifteen-seven or more years, and are hardly able to show in average of $25,000 money but the U. N. I. A. being in existence a little over a million members of a membership of five million. These local organizations cannot show a single record of a mercantile establishment for the benefit of the race, but the U. N. I. A. has an established record. Local organizations can show only two things—the graveyards filled with dead and a promised policy to bury past after death. This favored benevolence on the part of these local organizations will not suffice for the comforts of the living generations of this day. We paid the U. N. I. A. has been organized in every place where there is found a black face. We said that the U. N. I. A. is backed by united millions that have not yet come out of the swamp of tachnoks. They are only waiting for orders for sunshine from the U. N. I. A. This interesting tale made by the professor electrified the show members and encouraged others to enroll their names. We held with us Dr. Lewis of Kanean City, Utah, a new pastor of the C. M. H. Church, who has preached many times with us. The doctor made mullions about interesting needs in heaven of the U. N. I. A. and the New Missionary Army and the New Missionary Church. ELECTED IN THE KNOWVILLE (TENN.) DIV. J. B. McCade, who was acting president, has been dismissed from office for many reasons, and also Mr. Ellis, chairman of the Trustee Board. New officers will be elected who will not destroy the work of the organization. If the work is to go on we must have true men to lead us men who are loyal Negroes, broad-minded men, men who know nothing else but the right to do and say. T. C.

After the many guests were seated and welcomed by Master of Ceremonies Danville Simmons the program was opened by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner," followed by the national anthem of the U. A. L. the audience standing at attention. The remainder of the program is as follows. Opening address by Commander-in-Chief Milton Philips.

Too much praise cannot be given them. I am pleased to say that among the divisions in New Jersey the Atlantic City division stands high in my estimation, not because of its geographical location or because I am residing here, but because of its true loyalty to the principles, aims and objects of the U. N. I. A., which I shall at all times uphold and defend. Truly yours. CLAWSON HARRIS.

It will be an unbearable BROOKLYN DIVISION PLANS GREAT THINGS FOR THE EXPOSITION Great progress is being made by the Brooklyn division in launching Brooklyn's first expedition for colored people, to be held at the Compton Catholic Baptist Church, Fleet street and Flatbush avenue extension, Brooklyn, at 8:30 a.m. and ends December 21 at 12:30 a.m. At a special meeting held at the home of the president, M. Edward Watkins $28 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, N. T. special teams were appointed and each member of the team will visit some one of importance in Brooklyn and acquaint him or her of the expedition. It is the Centre of the members of this local to make the expedition a wonderful success. Too much has been said about co-operation and too little done to bring it into effect. Brooklyn is peculiarly situated: It is essentially a city of homes. It is so big, its area is so vast, its possibilities for development are so great, the future of the coloured man in Brooklyn has such wonderful possibilities that an expedition of this kind, which will bring into one house for ten nights men and women of diversified interests, must help every one and every industry. Brooklyn can never develop into a Harlem. There can never be a "Black Belt" in Brooklyn because of the way Brooklyn is below developed. Home life is part of business and church life in Brooklyn. People mingle more in a spirit of friendship than in Harlem. Gossip can not run amuck; exploration does not lead to exploitation, because there is so much to do, so much to hope for, so much to the welfare of others. Brooklyn is a vast estate. One may room and room and still have room to room some more businesses, homes, banks, business of all kinds, industries possesses and potentialities can find a friendly hand in Brooklyn. At the coming expedition it is the hope of the members of the Brooklyn division to bring such a friendly spirit into the affair that good only will result. The white business man will stop at nothing to bring his business to a successful issue. He will mortgage his home, he will pawn his wife's jewels, he will borrow on anything and everything "to make a gad" of the business. If he fails, he will try again. The colored business man either does nothing, or if he is an exceptional man he may spend a little money for advertising and then if business comes his way forget that his own people helped him. Usually the colored man wants a sure thing. When he will realize that nothing is sure but death and taxes he may venture into deeper water and succeed. An opportunity is being created to the colored business man to reach those potential customers through this exhibition. He will brooklyn Division only hope this article will reach some ambitious man who will want to make life better for his people, and that he may become curious enough to see Mr. Edward Watkins at $35 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, and let him explain how he may do so. An excellent program is being presented for visitors. In the Auditorium, beginning at 8:30 p. m., a band concert will be given by the Black Star Band, most famous by Mr. William tales, director, after which there will be a musical program, then motion pictures shown through the courtesy of Kirkman & Son. Steroplicum views of Brooklyn industries will then be exhibited. A lecture will be given each evening, by a prominent man or woman. They have been asked to talk on "What Can the Negro Do? to Better. Business, Home and Church Conditions." Some of the exhibitors who will have booths in the annex are Kirkman and Son, who will distribute, ship free to all women visiting the expoition; Marcelino Dias, an importor of coffee from Costa Rica; Jack Waldman Company, with Christmas joy and novelties; Youngs Book Exhibition, 1838 street, Manhattan, whose exhibit made such an impression at Liberty Hall during the November Expoition there; Flushing Laws Corporation, whose movement to help the building situation in Brooklyn has met, with the approval of many ministers; National Brotherhood Products Corp., the Essie Co. Co., Taylor Hair Grower, Co. and many others. The division has been successful in obtaining the assistance of its members in aligning the wonderful tableau by Mrs Milda. Parsons, called electropopian vision will be allowed with evening, and later reproduction will be offered to the divisions of the U. N. Milda. On December 18, 1844, I驶来 on "Nearo Heroes" by Rev.

GEYAN The Torke, according to press reports, are carrying out every test of power that is possessed of a writer ever a vanquished. This thought is in the keeping with the dictum of the great powers that might be right. But a few colored phonographists and linguistic editors, plus some museur newspaper men, dismiss the field of journalism by intending it in pour cut; their pen up envious feelings, even to the extent of developing symptoms of hallucinations, like a certain professor writing in the Chicago Whip, making him a fit subject for the lanceal syllabus. These miserable fortunes that are afflicted with devil rave, rage and rant themselves every time the God is extinct in the manned color. If the colored races, one, and all continue to evince their physical and mental prowess, as no doubt they will awakened as they are, and possessed with the essential gifts of nature, make it impossible to hinder their progress indefinitely or to limit their capabilities. But these hypocrites have the call to rave about the expulsion of the white man from Asia Minor. How is it that the indian men clamored the period white man, has and baggage back to Europe? Oh! How both the mighty fallen. Will Professor Adams please explain? Here are the facts. A representative army of the colored race met an army representing the white race, well equipped, and on the field of battle the white man was hit, fought, cutwitted, outnumbered and outmarched.

Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organized bposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!"

CHAPTER NO. 36, LIVING- STON, GUATEMALA, HOLDS HARVEST SERVICE Sunday evening, October 29, 1922 the Harvest Thanksgiving Service will long be remembered by the mem- bers and friends of this chapter At 3 p. m. our little hall was crowded Beautiful, Soft, Silky Hair Overnight ura KINK-OUT when President Robateau sounded the gavel for order and with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's ley Mountains," followed by prayer from the ritual by the president, after which he introduced Master Arthur Rich to the chairman. The chairman addressed the congregation. Finishing, he said. We assemble here this afternoon to give praises unto the Lord for His great blessing to all creatures here below both small and great, and that His everlasting mercy may still continue for us to reap our harvest Sing, all we faithful, praises unto the Lord, for His mercies endure forever." The program then was as follows Offering by the children (girl) then row The choir started the Harvest Chant The children came marching up with their offerings to the strains of the chant delivering their offerings be- come the rostrum and how they answered singing This is our offer- ing Father receive it May we be fruitful in every good thing Hallel- jah" Miss Christelda Renou en leader gave an oration and Miss Olivia Zuniga in Spanish Immediately (girl) second row came solely marching up in like manner still to the strains of the chanting choir Miss Irane Renou delivered an or- ation on Harvest Time Lastly the Young Bons of Africa came up with regular steps, headed by Master Jono Medina delivering their offerings He delivered an address on behalf of his countryside Reading of the lesson the 61st Psalm by Myster Paul Renoum Hymn, Come We Thankful People (came by the congregation Recitation Solo by Miss Tendora Morales (in Spanish) Anthony.

The closing address by President Robbins on the subject "Harvest Time" was well delivered. He finished by saying, "And this is our harvest thanksgiving this day, the first celebrated in Livingston and more so given by the I N I A. But there will be a greater harvest in the coming of Christ our Saviour who will be the Reaper and I trust that all of us will have our vine-ards fruitful and faithful." Special mention must be made of the Misses Stella and Florine Reneyu and Mrs Frank E Arnold the organizers who were uniting in their efforts in training the children. Mrs. Arnold is one of our hard and determined workers who can be depended upon WILLIAM RODATEAU President CYRIL G. NEAL Secretary Livingston Chapter No. 36. Weekly Sermon Subject, "A Ministry of Power." Text, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke x10 10 Two thousand years ago there was need of a faith which could save. This is not to say that there was no goodness in that day. There was much that was praiseworthy in the lives of many citizens of Rome. Athens and Jerusalem. Among carnest people there was a real searching after God which yielded important truths to the seers. But two faults marred all these of faults who among threes Romans or Jews. One was that they left the mass of people untouched. Whether it was the Pharisee in Judea or philosopher in Judae, their teaching was over the heads of the ordinary folks who thought the stories and wished the fields. The second fault was the lack of moral power. In the systems set forth men found unqualified energy for the transformation of real charter into good men. The truth taught were often in themselves very fine and yet as in the case of Paul they left the individual reactions and unsatisfied. 1 Evidence of weakness. The proof of these faults is our eyes as we read the New Testament to Palestine the success of the men of John the Baptist bowed to the hunger of the common people. When Zacchaeus met the common man, he responded to him with such a grimness. Many foreigners who were born in Jewish heirarchy often found things than their own and for them. Much a lesson was to the seller of purpul. The Greeks who came to the feast in Jerusalem and discuss talk with Jesus, and chat about a movement toward idolatry. The Jews of men throughout the world were calling for a power which would make for righteousness and victory, even on their own lives and those of their fellow men. Good news for all. These did not cry in vain. Jesus was God’s answer to their appeal. Under his influence Peter the unstable became John the son of thunder developed into the apostle of love. Paul the defeated became Paul the champion and was able to state positively from his own experience that if any man is in Chital Jesus he is a new creation. But this power of god in Jesus was not confined to Jews. This fact our Master made clear in his own ordination. He gladly answered the plea of a Roman centurion. The Syrophenician woman found her rare no barrier in the eyes of the Jewish wonderworker. His own townmen laughed that the Sifah of Jewish purity which took in more than the Jewish nation Jesus himself felt that the final seal of triumph was put on his ministry when the Greeks sought an interview with him. When the good news was told in Asia Minor and Europe it worked revolutions in the lines of those who believed. In the letters of the New Testament are mentioned men from all classes of society who once dead in trespasses and sin were now through Christ alive unto them. 3 The secret of victory This gift of power to men was the secret of Christ's victory over their prejudices. Because they could get it nowhere, the Jew found the faith of his fathers, the Gentile swallowed his racial pride and both became followers of the Nazarene. DIV.

A. was held today at 3 p.m. at the Rockefeller Washington Settlement. The meeting was opened by the vice president R. F. R. Roosevelt who made a world visit and then presented the president W. M. Vaughn who delivered a well-written and much needed address to the source of the government of the United States and making that four-paragraph homoeopathic fourth brings out that a clear human nature. The president introduced L. C. Underwood one of our local undertakers who favored our work with him. It also mentions another of our undertakers followed with a profound argument that was very much in keeping with the principle of the association pointing out such a would warrant our attention. Mine L. F. Prenderge beautifully impressed all with it although was the start of our meetings she found in cause or worthy of support and very much different from what she had heard. Mr. Jesse Brown was presented and being much erhurt impressed some interesting facts on our oursure which greatly impressed our audience. Dr L. R. Watkins dent was also present and being so much impressed by the enthusiasm shown he entitled with us. He stated that he had read The Negro World and that that I carried the best editions of any fact paper he knew. He pledged his support, as did Mr. Woods, another visitor, M. K. F. Armstrong the herobarder and one of our loyal members, and began to emphasize the need of Negro support in part in the economic world in addition to other things. Roy T. S. Pfifer interrupted by saying, Mr. President, this thing is too good to be neglected. I was with this division before I went to the Sharline Chapter. May I relegate and be here again? The president replied in the affirmative, and he came forward and paid for both himself and his wife. There were others who wanted to talk, but having already) gone thirty minutes over our regular time of closing, we invited them back for next Sunday afternoon. The meeting was really worth while and we are preparing for a big Thanksgiving dinner and meeting in Thanksgiving Day. W W VAUGHN President 18) Mrs W W Vaughn Acting Sec.)

La Delegación de Nuestra Organización a la Liga de Naciones Adquiere una Gran Victoria en Beneficio de Los Nativos del Africa—La Esclavitud es Abolida en las Colonias del Africa Oriental—La Influencia de Nuestro Gran Movimiento Impresiona a los Gobierno de Europa --- Nuestra delegación a la Liga de Naciones, la cual portaba además la comisión de representar los intereses de nuestra raza en Europa, ha regresado con impresiones alentadoras Cuarenta y ocha horas después de su arribo a las plavas americanas el gobierno británico ha ordenado la absoluta abolición de la esclavitud en las colonias del Africa oriental una de las cuales la delegación pidió se nos devolviera para la constitución de un gobierno para los pueblos Negros del universo Dicha delegacion puso de manifesto ante la Liga de Naciones v los gobierno coloniales de Europa el que es tiempo de que se observe mejor consideracion sobre los derechos del Negro, no stando este dispuesto a que se le acaricie con promesas vanas. Las naciones predominates realizan que el Negro del presente esta revestido de un nuevo espiritu v que en su lenguaje v accion se manifesta tal determinacion. No nos sorprende, por tal concepto el que nuestros amos de otros tiempos se decidan a cambiar su actitud El que nuestra delegación haya obtenido éxito al realizarse un cambio en la actitud de los poderes de Europa, nos indica todo cuanto pueda hacerse por medio de un esfuerzo unido. Si nuestra representación no hubiera ido a la Liga de Naciones y demandara una investigación en las actividades de los poderes en Africa, aun hubieramos obtenido la emancipación de nuestros hermanos en una parte de nuestra madre patria. Los que critican nuestra organización podrán admitir la utilidad de nuestro movimiento. Del mismo modo que Roma no fue construida en un día no esperamos el que Africa sea emancipada en una noche pero gradualmente hemos de demandar cambios hasta llegar a la meta de nuestras aspiraciones. Noy podemos contemplar la libertad de los esclavos en el Aristia oriental manana podremos obtener la complete emancipación de la servidumbre en Congo, al siguiente día podran garantizarse los derechos a los nativos del Senegal y en uno cinco o diez años aperecerá en el horizonte del continente africano la constelación federal de sus estados, convirtiendonos de nuevo en un gran pueblo y en un poderoso imperio Continuemos en la gran labor advocando la santa causa de la libertad humana. Debemos una profunda gratitud a esta delegación nuestra, quienes sabia y habilmente nos representaron ante la Liga de Naciones y ante las cortes de Europa. Ellos han infundido un sentimiento en el viejo continente, revolucionando politicamente a la inteligente Francia con el programa de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Alemania, Italia y España observan con gran interés nuestro desarrollo como organización. Nos trasladamos tacticamente de un estado de organización a otro y así continuaremos en el camino del progreso hasta iniciar la organización de nuestro propio gobierno. Nuestra organización proyecta actualmente enviar otros embajadores a distintos puntos del globo, representado los intereses generales de la raza. Ellos irán al Japón, al extremo oriente así como también a la Corte de Abisinia, para llevar a cabo los acuerdos de nuestra última convención internacional. Afiancemos nuestras esperanzas en los colores de nuestro estandarte y en no lejano dia hemos de verle colocado al nivel de los grandes emblemas nacionales del presente Para el británico, la Cruz de San Jorge en el cuadrilatero, representa el simbolo de vida, para el blanco americano, las Franjas y las Estrellas es una inspiración, para los pueblos Negros del universo, el Rojo, Negro y Verde, colores de nuestro estandarte, será el emblema de salvación. Ignoremos por un momento la política de corrupcion de los que maliciosamente nos critican y continuemos adelante con nuestra bandera, hasta colocarla en el lugar que le corresponde. Nuestro movimiento demostrará, a los que por años y años han dobliado la cabeza ante su superior, que la Raza Negra se desarrollará y continuará en su camino de progreso, sin tener que recurrir a la ayuda, apoyo ó protección de estos Ellos, segun su propia opinión, no estan relacionados ni han perdido nada en Africa. Ellos son todos puros descendientes de los Peregrinos y de los Celtas y no saben lo que ser Negro significa. Este consuelo estúpido será la destrucción de los imbéciles que no realizan el ser los payasos de una raza aristócrata, la cual no reconoce nada sino su propia pureza. La antigua Etiopia será restaurada a sus días de gloria y la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negro tomará parte activa en la realización de tales acontecimientos. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1922 Colonla Puertorriquena en Santo Domingo Insiste en la Remoción de Reilly La prensa de San Juan, P.R. publica noticias recibidas de la república dominicana, dando cuenta de la campaña inicia por la colonia puertorriqueña de esa república para cooperar con la inicia recientemente por el pueblo de Puerto Rico, en pro de la remoción del gobernador de la ola, Mont Reilly. Los senores don José Antonio Avone y Antonio Herrera Fernandez, han celebrado reuniones con la colonia residente, con el objeto de tratar asuntos de suma importancia para el momento actual del pueblo y para que se enten en la triste situación política que atravesa. En la invitación a la colonia puertorriqueña se declara que el partido unionista ha estado luchando por mas de un año en contra de la política implantada por el gobernador de Puerto Rico. Reilly, el que ha origiado un desorden gubernamental imponeundo un gobierno despeñoso y tirando violando as la carta organa que elongreso de los estados lindos do para que tiogeran sus destinos de acuerdo con los principios de libertad y democrata de los pueblos libres. Carpentier Manifesta No Haber Hecho Arreglos Con Skii El match que Georges Carpenter celebró recentemente con el pugilista Siki ha tenido resonancia tal que ha sido discutido en la camara de diputados transexas por un diputado que ha defendido a Siki por la descalificación que le impuso la federación francesa de la Eslam. El asunto no ha terminado y a puzgar por las complicaciones de ultima hora quizas no salga muy bien librado el popular pugilista francés Carpenter que perdio el título de campeon de boxeo en el encuentro con el pugilista senegales, ha dicho por mediation de su apoderado Descamps que haba peleado sinceramente con ammo de vencer sin que hubiese mediado arreglos de ninguna espece antes de celebrarse el encuentro Sikh, en una entrevista con el representante del International News Service ha repetido sus manifestaciones dicendo que su apoderado le habia dicho que se debla declarar venido, en el cuarto asalto. La Conferencia Centro- Americana El discurso del secretario Hughes de bienvenida a los delegados de los estados de centro-Antirrica reunidos en la conferencia de Washington reafirma la esperanza de la administración en la eficacia de las inteligencias regionales como método de zamar la disputas internacionales Esta no es la primera vez que el principio se ha aplicado a las republicas centroamericanas. Mr Hughes en su discurso hizo referencia especial a los esfuerzos de 1907, que dennio como un paso hacia adelante definitivo. La nueva tentativa se halla en relación con el espiritu de la conferencia de Washington que solucionan tantas cuestiones relacionadas con el oriente. En el presente caso el fin es poner en movimiento el mecanismo para solucionar las disputas que surgen entre las republicas centroamericanas que la diplomacia ordinaria es incapada de resolver. Se comprende entre ella la creación o recreación de un tribunal centroamericano y si es posible la limitación de los armamentos militares. Vuestro objetivo, declaró a los delegados, es construir sobreimientos ya puestos, tomar en consideración el cambio en circunstancia, con objeto de que poda aplicar la sabiduria de la experiencia al buscar procedimientos mejoros. Si se tiene éxito, esta nueva inteligencia regional puede servir como precedente para convenos similares y más amplios en el hemisferio occidental. Grandes como lo son los prejuicios entre los diversos pueblos hispanoamericanos, hay muchos intereses y lazos comunes. Estimular el espíritu de cooperación entre naciones y eliminar las causas de mala inteligencia fueron los propostos de la conferencia de limitación de armenios del año ultimo, y son el objetivo de la conferencia actual. La aproximación regional hace posible la eliminación de muchos prejuicios que pudieran de otra manera condenar tal asamblea a un fracaso El Analfabetismo Universal La Semana de la Educación tiene un vivo interés para los americanos po el hecho de que la proporción nacional de analfabetismo es todavía desconsoladora elevada Las mas recientes cifras de las diez naciones que se supone estan entre las primeras del mundo por su cultura, colocan a los Estados Unidos, no donde debiera estar su puesto, a la cabeza de la lista, sino al final de ella. Alemania aparece en primer lugar, con el uno por mil de analfabetos, sigue Suiza, con cinco por millar: Holanda, Finlandia, Noruega y Sucia, van después, con cifras que pasan de seis a diez por millar y entonces el coeficiente salta rapidamente: Escocia, con tarea y medio por clento; Francia, con cincio por clento; Inglaterra, con cincio y medio por clento, y los Estados Unidos, con seis por clento. Una persona analfabeta no significa que sea necesariamente una persona ignorante, porque hay conocimientos que se acquieren sin necesidad de la imprenta. Pero el analfabetismo es una venda que cierra para la inteligencia muchas cosas que todas las inteligencias debieran saber. Hasta que se eliminen las dificultades, esta considerable proporción de incapacidad para leer y escribir causa tanto a los que sufren esa desventaja y a las comunidades en que residen, cada semana del año debiera ser la Semana de la Educación en todos los Estados Unidos. Estamos demasiado inclinados a dejar las escuelas fuera de nuestras preocupaciones hasta que alguna especie de interés personal o de agravio nos las pone de nuevo ante nosotros. Ocupandose cono lo hacen de la nitez del país durante la mayor parte de las horas que pasan despiertos los nifos y teniendo sobre la misma continuamente la musión de modelar los pensamientos del nifo, sus habitos y sus carácter, las escuelas necesitan beneficiar de la inteligente comprensión de los adultos todos, de la crítica constructiva de la cooperación expontanea Prejuicios Seculares Por el Dr. Bernardg Ruiz Suares Estados Unidos, es por excelencia el pais en que los prejuicios raciales se desarrollan con más intensidad. Al parece que se vive en plena edad media, donde las luchas religiosas desataban de continuo sobre los pueblos del Viejo Continente tormentas de sangrantes cruzadas. Aqui no solo existe el prejuicio negro; existe también y muy pronunciado el prejuicio amarillo. Las causas en que se asientan ambos son muy diferentes. Contra el Negro es el concepto secular de inferioridad en que se le tiene. Contra el Amarillo, aparte de causas físicas existe también el celo con que se mira al crecimiento del poderoso imperio que forma y constituye esta raza, y que tiende cada vez más, no solo a su expansionario territorial, sino financiero en esta parte de nuestro hemisferio. Puede que en el prejudicio Amarillo, por parte de este pueblo, existan fundamentos apreciables para sentirlo y practicarlo, un celo patriotico, por exagerado que se muestre, siempre es disculpable; en cambio, un celo rebosante de pasiones malsanas, sin más fundamento que la pigmentación mas clara o más obscura de la piel es repugnante y contraria a los sentimientos de cualquier país altamente civilizado, y más aun, si este país es humanitario en la forma y en el fondo, cónjo son los Estados Unidos de Norte America. El Negro no constituye peligro alguno para las instituciones de esta nación, antes al contrario, es un elemento de reconstrucción, de vitales energias, de magnifica utilidad, no ya en esta época en que la libertad constitucional de que disfruta le coloca en posición de ejercer ilimitadas actividades en la esfera pública, y en la tendencia progresiva inherente en la rara de color, sino en época en que su esclavitud social, y por consiguiente, su capacidad intelectual no podia ejercerla ni manifestarla por carencia de medios y derechos adecuados, constituyte la fuerza potential en que quizas descansa actualmente la grandeza economica y poderio absoluto de este país. Su fuerza fisica incontrastable. la robuste de sus brazos, acompañados por otra parte de la compulsion al trabajo por su estado de servidumbre, fueron portentos de riqueza, no solo para sus poseedores esclavistas, sino que se han traducido en portentos de materiales ventajas, para la confederación de Estados en que se desarrollaron tales actividades La injustica de este prejuicio, resalta con caracteres irritantes; y sin desmayos in desdoblamientos en el plano de las pacificas protestas, los Negros de los Estados Unidos deben de occupar, y a la vez luchar por el puesto a que su contribución y engrandecimiento de su país native, les da derecho Cinquenta Anos de Vida Libre En cincuenta años de vida libre, aunque no de positiva libertad, la población negra de los Estados Unidos, ha probado y esta probando sus condiciones privilegiadas para la vida del progreso. No hay un plano, una posición, un lugar en que la civilización se destaque con caracteres predominantes, en que el Negro Americano no brille también con luminosos reflejos. Ocupa desde luego una posición desventajosa; pero la suple, por su afan de engrandescimiento, y ante las torturas morales colectivas que experimenta, adquiere vigor y estimulos que le comfortan para la lucha. Después de la conflagración mundial, en que la rasa negra representada por los regimientos de color que libraron enuelo francés jumbo a los blancos batallas memorables, resultado un factor considerable, en personalidad se ha manifestado más briquido. ciada; pero no lo suficiente para asignarle un sítio de verdadera independencia. Necesita realizar esfuerzos y sacrificios superiores a los realizados, necesita ser más practica en los medios de defensa, menos idealistas en sus organizaciones, más pujante, mas agresiva en la conquista de sus derechos, sin llegar por estos medios a practicas violantes. No es una paradoja predicar la energía y desautorizar la fuerza. Las collectividades como los individuos están llamados a llenar los propios fines en la sociedad en que viven. Estos son analogos en unos como en otros, y desde luego, en el orden individual, pueden reclamararse derechos con suma de energias, llegar hasta el litigio; pero no a la lucha material. Entre el individuo y la sociedad no hay diferencia substancial; el primero forma la sociedad, pero la sociedad forma al individuo. Slendo asl, la raza de color de los Estados Unidos puede formar la sociedad que ha de conductirla a los fines de una perfección construcción civica. No cree el articulista que el nucleo y asociaciones con que cuentan en este pais los elementos de color, sea la Sociedad que ha de conductirlas a más elevadas principios de publica consideración. Este nucleo de asociaciones representa en el concierto de la raza negra su capacidad organizadora; pero no su capacidad organizado. Para cada ultima seria indispensable que el numéro de instituciones disminué por los Estados de la Union con tendencias sociales o espiritu de beneficencia, se agruparan no bajo una sola direction, pero al bajo una sola determinación, la determinación de hacerse mas fuertes, mas poderosos en la batalla en que la servidumbre moral en que vele les obliga a librar De tal suerte el címulo de energía que hoy desarrolla en sus actividades civicas, tendría un punto de más seguro apoyo, seria como un arbol poderoso con ramificaciones consistentes. Labor de Unificación Esta es facil y sencilla dentro los moldes en que hoy está formada la población de color este país. Una confederación de las instituciones más afines seria la resultante de una mayor suma de influencia, no ya para actuar como colectividad racial acerca de otra colectividad opuesta y opostornía, si no a sus fines de progreso, si al canno nivelador que persigue en el concierto social Este punto es el punto cardinal que le daria a la población de color norte americana, no ya el titulo de raza inteligente sino la posición defensiva para la conservación y preservación de su conglomerado étnico. Alguna veces nos hemos interrogado al hacer un estudio de las condiciones en que la raza negra vive en este país, acerca de las razones o motivos que mueven a sus lideres a mantener la fraccionarían, a es decir, sin cohesión en la labor progresiva que los mismos desarrollan. La facultad inteligente, y la facultad organizadora, como hemos adverbó en lines precedentes de este editorial, son cuidadades inherentes a los miembros representativos de los diversos grupos o fracciones en que esta subdivisión la raza negra en el territorio de la Union norte americana. Hay algo mas, un principio religioso animado por el constante celo de los pastores o ministros respectivos mantiene a la raza de co'or en bases apropiadas para obtener saludables resultados en una labor sincera de unficacion. No seria necesario para conseguir esto, el renunciar a los principios religiosos sentidos a practicados por cada miembro, secta o congregacion respectiva a bastaria tan sólo el renunciar en parte a ventajas materiales o materialistas, simpe que estas no fueran de utilidad colectiva. Un movimiento reconstructivo, temiendo como asiento y norma la cohesión de los doce miliones de Negros que viven esparcidos en territorio de este país, seria la coronirion brillante, elocuente y sintética, de que solo los medios inferiores en que durante años el Negro ha vivido por causas ajenas a la voluntad del mismo, pudieron presentarlo como raza inferior; pero que, en igualdad de circumstancias, es decir, con iguales deberes y derechos que ejercitar, es tan progresivo como el blanco anglo sajón o el colectivismo blanco francés. La piedra está puesta en el edificio que la raza de color tiene levantado en el país; pero es indispensable que este edificio tenga una oficina principal y que actuen otras muchas como simples sucursales. A nuestro juicio, el éxito de esta gran labor; labor a la cual no debe ni puede abandonar la raza de color, so pena de parecer, está en su unificación, que recomendamos y recomendaremos, por ser la convicción que abrigamos, para la redención moral de nuestra raza. Ocho Jefes Africanos Condenados a Muerte JOHANNESBURG, Sud Africa. —Ocho jefes rebeles que tomaron parte en la revuelta armada del Rand hace algn tiempo en el Sud Africano, colonia británica, fueron sentenclados a sufrir la pena de muerte. CRÓNICA SOCIAL LA SEXTA CONFERENCIA PUBLICA OFRECIDA POR EL COMITE DE PROPAGANDA PARA LA FORMACION DEL CAPITULO CUBANO DE LA ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PRA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA. FUE REALIZADA CON UN RXITO RESONANTE. Apesar de los obstáculos que nos presentaba el tiempo con su lluvia, fue benvola y pudijos predicar ese ideal, que traerá como consecuencia la nivelación de todas las razas. Se efectuó la sexta conferencia sobre lo que reporta económicamente la Gran Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, el dia 5 del corriente y en los salones de la Sociedad "Alto Pino". Fueron los conferencistas, los Sefiores Ramón G. Apegestuia Hernández, la Srita. Clarisa Walters y Eligio Dilú, los cuales dejaron sembrado en el ánimo de todos los que concurrieron a esa conferencia, el ideal de sumarse al más potente de los movimientos de la época. El primero en dissortar fue el Sr. Apezteguila, quien explicó la tarea realizada por la delegación que fud envida ante el Tribunal de la Liga de las Nacones, la que consiguló se tomaran en cuenta sus peticiones, siendo la primera La completa Libertad de los que hoy moran en Africa, que están sometidos a la tutela colonial. Apezteguila recibió en el transcurso de su disertación muchos aplausos. En segundo término hablo la Srta Walters, quien disertó muy acertadamente sobre la necesidad que tiene la mujer negra de educarse en cuanto a la elección del hombre que ha de ser su esposo. Clarisa está llamada a ser una de esas educadoras que nos da cuenta la historia. La disortante se extendió sobre la necesidad de agruparnos en un solo haz, para educarnos. La Sta. Walters terminó muy emocionada por los constantes aplausos que le trIBUTaron. Despues de terminar la que hasta ahora es la educadora de las mujeres Nogras cubanas para la organización de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en Santiago de Cuba, cierra con broche de oro tan cultural conferencia, el incansable luchador por el bien de su raza. E.iglio Dilú, quién analiza todos los puntos en que descansa el ideal que sustenta la Gran Asociación, el discuro de Dilú, nuestro querido Director será recordado por mucho tiempo, pues deja una estela inibrable en el corazón de todos los que allí nos encontramos La Luz se enorgulle al resefilar t educativa labor y eleva al Ser. Supremo su cantico de alabanza, para que el con su poder haga que todos los hombres de sangre africana puedan comprender a los que cono Dilu, Walters, Nonlla, Prieto, Bavastro, Aestegula y otros, se han impuesto tan hermosissima labor. — "LA LUZ" Santiago de Cuba.

REPOSITORY JAMAICAN SHQOTS WHITE CUBAN IN SELF-DEFENSE On Sunday morning, November 19, the attention of Mr. James Simms, who was at the time in his residence, was called by a white Cuban (a neighbor), stating that his mule had broken the fence and was on his land. Mr. Simms immediately started in search of the mule. After he had caught the mule the Cuban told him that it was a constant practice of his to turn the mule loose on his property, and that the mule had done some damage (which was the搽着 off of a few corn blades). Mr. Simms' reply was: "You are not an embellero (gentleman) for having told such a lie, for it was the very first time that the mule was found on your property." The man felt annoyed at the reply and stirck Mr. Siminea a blow in the face. Siminea resented the assault and while in combat with his opponent was attacked by two relatives of said aggressor, one with a club and the other with a machete, Siminea received several blows which drew the claret, while the intention of the other was chiefly to sever his head from his body. Mr. Siminea was pretty lucky in averting this attempt, and even stones were brought into play. Siminea, finding himself in a peculiar position, drew his revolver and shot one dead on the spot. The police and rural guards soon appeared and Siminea was tied and taken to Camagayue police station. As this is only one case as against the many outrages perpetrated against West Indians in the Republic of Cuba, our sympathy goes out to Mr. Simms, as he acted purely in self-defense. Jamaicans (or Jamaquines) are all termed dogs here. One can imagine how much that man was ferred to protect himself. That was the only way he could preserve his life. Hoping that by all these examples Negroh, especially those in Cuba, will realize the necessity for unity, years for racial progress and solidarity. AUSTIN E. BRIDGEMAN. Solo, Province Camagua, Cuba.
