FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: There comes a time in the life of every race and history of every nation when a decisive stand must be taken for the preservation and well-being of that race and nation. Such a time has come in the life of the Negro, because of which we are now sounding the clarion call of race unity, love and pride, hoping that the four hundred million members will respond, so as to make it possible for us to look the future in the face with a united front.
World Reorganizing
The world is undergoing a state of reorganization wherein each and every group of the great human family seeks an expression of its own will. The keenness of the age brings out a rivalry among races and nations that makes it possible for only those who are strongly organized and well prepared to survive the eternal conflict. It is in such a competition that the Negro is called upon at this time to play his part. We must, as a people, decide for ourselves now whether we shall go forward or backward in the competitive program of races and nations. Once upon a time our race indulged in the security of human charity and sympathy, but today the world is void of these attributes, and we are forced either to do for ourselves or die by being relegated to the scrap heap of humanity. The space accommodation for races and nations is becoming so narrow and circumscribed as to suggest that in a short while only the fittest of the great human groups will survive, the weaker ones having, perforce, to die or move on to make room for those who are strong enough to hold their own.
Calamity of Extermination
the calamity of extermination faces the Negro, and it is because of that that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organizing the world over so that through a united course we can so settle ourselves as to insure permanent existence.
We cry out for a united Africa, for a liberated country. This sentiment has made the circuit of the world, but still there are millions who have not yet made up their minds to join in the holy crusade. It is for them that those of us who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association labor, because we who have caught the vision cannot have it realized without the assistance of those who suffer with us, because they are of our kind. Hence, our effort is to convert them to the way of seeing things as they are, and realizing that it is only through united effort, on the part of all Negroes, that we can truly free ourselves and liberate our country.
Louder Cry for Liberty
The cry of Africa for an autonomous place in the world is becoming louder and louder. The echo has reached the remotest parts of the world, and now men, races and nations are thinking more than ever before of the possibilities of a new African nationality. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is responsible for this change. It is the soul expression of a new and ambitious race out of which rises a manhood that refuses to take a second place in the affairs of men, but is determined to press on and forward until the race is elevated to the highest pinnacle of human progress.
Crazy and Unreasonable
Many have thought us crazy and unreasonable in declaring for "Africa for the Africans" at home and abroad, but the principle of an independent African nationality for Negroes is not one that has been originated by the Negro himself, but only copied from the other races in their raising the cry of. "Asia for the Asiatics," "Europe for the Europeans," "America for the Americans."
Negro Seeks Liberty
The Negro seeks liberty in the truest sense and fullest meaning. The world must know that the son of Africa is no longer disposed to be crushed, ignored and relegated to

the back heap of human society. He wants a place in the forefront and is determined to be heard. The world may wonder at this change in the race's attitude, but what else can the world expect? Even though our fathers slept for centuries, we of this day do not make up our minds to indulge in the slumber of the ages that would keep us as serfs, peons and slaves. We have heard the rattling cry of liberty, the timbrel sound of democracy for which all present-day races and nations are working with the fullest hope and satisfaction that they shall enjoy without molestation. The sons and daughters of Africa are too many to allow themselves to be deprived of these valuable essentials to human happiness, human progress and human salvation. We feel as a people that the privileges and opportunities enjoyed by others should also be enjoyed by us, in that Nature made us as heirs in common to this glorious Creation in which we find ourselves and in which we know no other master but the Creator. In all things physical we are determined to master our own destiny and direct our own fate. In the things that are spiritual, we leave ourselves entirely to the will of God, but in the new philosophy we feel that if we must rise to heights of material glory, we must accomplish that only through our own physical endeavors and in that direction four hundred million Negroes are now bent under the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
To Inspire Millions
Can I not inspire the millions who have not yet come in touch with this grand and glorious movement to now link up and join hands with us in carrying out the program of race emancipation and national redemption? May I not beseech the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia to rally to the glorious colors of the future African State the Red, Black and Green? May I not point you to the hope of a new born day, wherein the Negro shall see the light of his own future happiness and the glory of his own risen race. We need courage, we need greater manhood, a stronger manhood in our race, and we feel sure that the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will so change the mind and heart of man as to make us all see things anew, see them with the vision of the prophet that in our own time and that of our posterity, we shall once more elevate ourselves to the height of national independence and imperialism that will make other men of other races see in us the character of their regard and respect, merited by our racial contribution to a progressive world.
Evolving a New Civilization
The Negro at this time is called upon to evolve a new civilization and establish firmly a culture of his own. We must be original, we must be productive, we must be creative. There is room for the Negro to make his independent contribution to the affairs of men, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association believes that in Nature's good time we shall resurrect ourselves from the buried ages and
restore to the world our civilization like to the glory once boasted by our fathers.
The Things in History
The white world may try to rob and discredit us of the things in history we claim as our own. They may tell us that Tut-ankh-Amen was not a Negro, that the ancient civilization of Egypt and the Pharaohs were not of our race, but that does not make the truth unreal. Every student of history of impartial mind knows that the Negro once ruled the world, knows that the Negro once gave civilization to mankind, knows that when the white man knew not himself other than that he was a savage, a barbarian and a cave-man, that the Negro stood at the very height of civilization. The power and sway we once held passed away, but now in the twentieth century we are about to see a return of it in the rebuilding of Africa; yes, a new civilization, a new culture, shall spring up from among our people, and the Nile shall once more flow through the land of Science, of Art and of Literature, wherein will live black men of the highest learning and the highest accomplishments.
Because We Were Slaves
Shall we lose hope because we were once slaves? Surely not. We shall, like the rest who have been slaves, like the Brittons, lift ourselves from the the state of degradation to the height of progress. As the British slave was able to redeem himself out of the fall of Rome, so will Africa and Africans redeem themselves out of the fall of many of the waning powers of today.
Looking Forward
Let us, the fore, as four hundred million people, look forward to a better time, the time when the Negro will no longer be a serf, but when he will be regarded as a full grown man, demonstrative of the best in the human race, capable of holding his own against all and sundry.
Accomplishment of Great Things
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is working toward the accomplishment of all these things, and therefore we are asking every Negro to lend his moral and financial aid to the great cause. The oppositions are many, but what do men of vision care about opposition, other than that it is but a stepping stone to the achievement of greater things? The world's successful men will tell you that their successes were based upon the oppositions they encountered, and so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can account for our success in organizing the world over through the oppositions we have received from the different enemies who have tried to combat us. We have established a record for service; we have fought a battle the like of which was never seen before within the race. It is for each and every one; therefore, who is a patriot, who is a lover of race and self, to help put this gigantic program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association over for the betterment of all. You can help this movement by sending $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50 to the Secretary-General, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, New York, U. S. A. By so doing you will enable those who lead to carry on the fight and make it easier for us in a short while to bring about a united race.
With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be.
Your obedient servant,
MARCUS GARVEY,
President-General.
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 1, 1923.
The Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes a direct appeal to its membership throughout the world to see that each and every Dawg makes its monthly financial report to headquarters, so as to enable us to carry on the work allotted to us by the general membership and by the race at large. The Parent Body can only operate successfully when it receives the hearty cooperation and financial support of its local branches, divisions and chapters, so that each member will be performing a great duty at this time in seeing that their local division is in good financial standing with the Parent Body. The fight is on, it must be kept up, it must be won, and it can only be done to the extent that we, morally and financially, as members get behind the Parent Body. Send in your report at once. Get financial, whereever you are; pay in your annual assessment tax for 1923, and be on the level with the great cause that stands for human uplift.

The Little Steel City of the West Turns Out on Massa to Hear Great Leader of the Negro Peoples of the World
Garvey Speaks on Aims and Objects of U. N. I. A. and Wins Approval of Great Throng, Who Responded With Rousing Cheers Throughout His Masterful and Eloquent Address
The Gary, Ind. Division staged an Interesting and inspiring program on Tuesday night, April 24. The President-General, Hon. Marcel Gärvey, was extended a rousing ovation when he entered the hall, which was packed to capacity; there were hundreds turned away, who were unable to gain admittance, because of the overcrowded auditorium, which was the largest assembly hall in the city.
The great leader was able to convert and convince the knockers and those who came to scoff at the idea of a redeemed race by his matchless eloquence, and the logic of his deductions.
This was evidenced as he proceeded through his speech by the enthusiastic applause and the unrestrained rehearsence that followed his expositions of the aims, objects and work of the U. N. L. A.
After hearing this great defender of Negro liberty, hundreds left the hall heartily in accord with that for which the association stands.
President Scott of Gary Division Presided
President Scott, the brilliant young man of Gary, presided and handed the meeting and the great crowd in a very efficient manner.
Commissioner W. A. Wallace of the Western States was given the honor of presenting the President, General and made a very brilliant preliminary talk, reviewing the work and the aims and objects of the organization, which was well appreciated by the great gathering.
Hon. H. W. Kirby, the fighting little-president of Chicago Division No. 23, gave a very profound and instructive talk on ancient civilizations and Negro culture.
President Kanye West consulted his usual logical and analytical manner, and earned the hearty applause received from his auditors.
President J. W. McHurst of Wet Chicago - Division No. 313 - made a three-minute talk, which Wet well received.
The writer of the article spoke briefly on the subject of Negro migration and government.
There were many other good speeches and impressions on the program which limited space prohibits detailing.
There was a grand parade in the afternoon through the principal streets of Gary, that attracted much attention headed by the Universal Band of Gary. The parade was made up from Lexington and Black Cross Nurses of Gary, nearby towns and Chicago, this city giving the biggest representation. "The choir and band rendered many beautiful numbers, which were highly appreciated by the immense throng. At the close of the meeting the great crowd rose to their feet, under the colors of the Red, Black and Green, and sang fervently, "Ethiopia, the Land of Our Father," and fled out of the big hall with that spirit that seems to murmur deep down in the heart, "Long live Africa, long live the Negro race, long live Garvey and the U. N. L. A."
ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS NO LONGER A MYTH
New Scientific Discovery Brings Mankind's Dearest Dream to Verge of Realization
Mankind's oldest and deepest dream, an "elixir of youth," is brought to the verge of realization by a recent scientific discovery. Actual renewal of the body is not yet possible, but chemists have found an almost magical substance which speedily renews youthful vigor, regardless of age. Results are astonishing, and are highly satisfactory according to thousands who have been restored by the new discovery.
The importance of this find cannot be estimated. It virtually brings youth back to the aged, besides increasing the powers of younger persons and restoring energy lost through disease, exhaustion or natural weakness. Although entirely harmless, it often produces amazing improvement over night and many users testify to a full result in a quick effect, due to what scientists call a "chemokinesis," or increased activity of the organisms on which vital force depends.
The use of this marvelous substance heretofore has been confined largely to the practice of famous physicians. Now, however, one of our great laboratories has made it available to the public in a safe, inexpensive tablet form, known as korex compound, for the treatment of the common cold, the dizzies of prheptics, the laboratories offer a double-strength treatment of the compound with the understanding that it is not to be paid for it falls. This treatment, in a plain sealed wrapper, may be obtained by writing in conditions to the Motton Laboratories, 1438 Massachusetts Md., Kansas City, Mo. You may contend $8 or simply send your name and pay $1 and postage to Motton Laboratories, 1438 Massachusetts Md., Kansas City, Mo. For your money but if you report dimensions within 10 days. These laboratories are absolutely reliable. If you feel the korex compound, do not hesitate to contact their generation office.
Mr. Neil Alderman Hilla, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James Mills of Manchester, Jamaica, B. W. L. died on the 15th of April, 1923, aged 24.
He passed successfully all the years of the pupil-teacher examination in Jamaica and in 1918 left for America for a higher education.
He attended the English high school, from which he graduated, and the Northwestern College in Boston.
In September, 1921, he entered the Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, where he showed himself a very apt student, and took honors in his examinations.
He would have finished his pre-medical course I. June preparatory to a four-year course in medicine.
As a student he was faithful and diligent and gained the love and respect of those who knew him enough to feel his influence.
In spite of difficulties, he had a dogged determination to carry through successfully anything he undertook.
Though not an actual member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he was a strong supporter of Igp principles.
He was a subscriber to the Negro World, and in 1921 won first prize in a Christmas competition in that paper on "The Principles of Garveyism."
His Christian faith, faith which gave him the power and patience to bear hardiness cheerfully, shone forth during his brief illness.
The funeral services of the deceased were held in the St. Cyprus Episcopal Church on Sunday, April 15.
The service were simple, but very impressive. Among the hymns sung was his favorite, "Oh, Beulah Land," Many pretty floral tributes were received, including a standing harp; "Brother" from the family; a standing heart; "Darling," from Miss Susan E. Blake; a pillow, "At Rest," from Mr. Egbert Rowe; a wreath from Miss Lynette Lawson and "Miss Princess Thomas," with many others from numerous friends.
The deceased was a member of the Omega Usi Phi fraternity of Lincoln University.
He leaves a mother, father, two brothers, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
"We only yield Thee what is Thine."
CHIEF KHAMA OF THE BECHUANA PEOPLE IS HAILED A GENTLEMAN
White and Blacks Throughout South Africa Pay Tribute to African Chris-
HAMPTON, Va., April 27.—D. McKenaldein, acting chief inspector of Native Education for Natal, South Africa, recently sent from Peterfurterburg to Hampton Institute, the following statement concerning Chief Khama, whose death has been mourned alike by white and blacks throughout South Africa and whose Christian life has been referred to again and again by missionaries and government officials:
"He was chief of the Hamsangwate section of the Brehmand people, resident in the Brehmand Protectorate of South Africa. He lived to a great age and has been an outstanding figure in native life for many years. He was baptized at the age of twenty-five on May 6, 1562, and he never looked back."
Inspector Malcolm also forwarded a copy of the leader in "The Natal Witness," from which the following excerpts are taken:
"A fine old, English gentleman, for all he was a native and had a black skin." "Every inch a black man and every inch a gentleman." It is significant that two men writing of the same man, and that man a black man, should stress exactly the same point to show the character and attainments of their subject. Khama may claim in the history of South Africa to be the greatest of native chieftains. His whole life of over ninety years—at least his whole public life, and that extended over a period of half a century—was an example, not only to black men, but to white men also, of what loyalty, sincerity and, above all, Christianity can accomplish in the heart of man. . . .
"Khama owed far less to the influence of European civilization than to something which was born with him long before civilization was known to him and his people. It was that indefinable thing, almost lacking in name, which we call 'character.' Khama had it, his life expressed it, his actions indorsed it, his death places upon it the stamp of reality.
"Those who speak contemptuously of the black races, arguing their inability ever to achieve the moral and intellectual level of the white, are confounded by such a man as Khama. . . . Khama proved over more than fifty strenuous years that there is something in the soul of the black man worth cultivating, something, in the mind of the black man worth training, something in the heart of the black man worth stimulating, and all this to be for the good of a country where the black man preponderates in teeming millions."

A committee of eight eminent American architects, painters and sculptors, with full authority to pass on applications of American students for entrance to the Fontainebleau School of the Arts in France, has turned down one applicant because she is of the Negro race. They believe her trip to France and her presence in the school would be disagreeable to some white students and embarrassing to her.
The Negress is Augusta Savage, 23, of No. 228 West 138th street. She came here two years ago from a Florida village after attending a State normal school in Florida. She has studied sculpture at Cooper Union ever since she came North and has a good record in her class.
Alled By Government
The school she wished to attend is a summer school for American architects, painters, and sculptors. It is at the Palace of Fontainebleau, France, and is under the patronage of the French Government. There has been a music school for Americans at Fontainebleau for two years, but the school of fine arts will open this year for the first time; the course being from June 25 to September 25. One hundred American students are to be admitted each year. Because of low costs made possible by the French Government, the entire expense of the trip and summer at the school is $500.
Miss Savage is the first person of Negro blood to apply for admission to the school. The necessary money for her trip was raised by friends. She has returned it to them. Although appearing to take the decision of the American committee in a philosophical manner, she said recently she regarded discrimination against her as a bad precedent, and for that reason she wished to make a public protest.
To Appeal to France
The committee has power to select the 100 American students as it will fit, and it has made a final decision in rejecting Miss Savage, but the case will not end here. Alfred W. Martin of 995 Madison Avenue, one of the leaders of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, will sail for Europe Saturday and will place the matter before the French authorities at Fontainebleau. He said yesterday he felt certain the French would not approve of any discrimination on racial grounds.
The committee of distinguished men which voted unanimously against Miss Savage is made up almost of men born in the East and West and who have lived for years in Europe and this city.
As chairman of the committee's Department of Painting and Sculpture Ernesto Pelixto had charge of Miss Savage's application. His paintings have been exhibited many times at Paris salon and Leading American exhibitions; he is author of half a dozen books, illustrator of many others, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor and a member of many clubs and art associations.
Famous Artists
Famous Artists Whitney Warren, architect of many well known buildings, is chairman of
the committee's Department of Architecture. The other members are:
Edwin E. Blashfield, president of the National Academy of Design, and one of the best known painters in this country. Howard Greenley, president of the Architectural League. Thomas Hastings, architect of the New York Public Library and other notable buildings; Chevalier of the Legion of Honor; president of the Beaux Arts Institute of Design.
J. Monroe Hewlett, president of the Mural Painters. Hermon A. MacNeil, sculptor, who has specialized in Indian subjects; winner of many medals; president of the National Sculpture Society. James Gamble Rogers, architect of the Harkness Memorial Quadrangle at Yale and other notable structures; president of the Society of Beaux Arts Architects.
Frank Explanation
"I made application to the committee in the regular way." Miss Savage said to a reporter for The World, who found her in a class at Cooper Union yesterday afternoon, "without thinking it necessary to mention my race. They asked me to make a preliminary deposit of $35, which I did, and told me I would have to send two recommendations. Before I could send the recommendations they returned the $35 and told me, 'with regret,' they had decided not to approve my application. They did not state any reason.
"Mr. Martin was beating in the Harlem Library Branch, one night and a friend of mine mentioned the case to him. He wrote Mr. Pelixto and asked if I had been turned down because of my race. In his reply, Mr. Pelixto spoke of my failure to enclose recommendations with my application, but devoted the greater part of his letter to a 'fraud' admission that the committee voted against me because they had learned I was not a white girl.
"I don't care so much for myself, because I will get along all right here, but other and better refined students might wish to apply some time. This is the first year the school is open and I am the first colored girl to apply. I don't like to see them establish such a precedent.
"Democracy is a strange thing," she added. "My brother was good enough to be accepted in one of the regiments that saw service in France during the war, but it seems his sister is not good enough to be a guest of the country for which he fought."
Southern Students
Mr. Peixatto said the committee had considered Miss Savage's case fully and had decided the best way out of a situation, potentially disagreeable both to Miss Savage and the white students, was to disapprove her application. He said many of the students who will sad June 1 are from the South, and Miss Savage would have to be in close association with them on the map and at the school. He added that, while her school record was good, it was not exceptional.
HAMPTON, Va., April 30.—That the continent of Africa is full of natural resources and possesses great possibilities of development were opulions expressed by Dr. Thomas Jones Jones of New York, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund since 1913 and former associate chaplain of Hampton Institute, who spoke recently in Ogden Hall on his 25,000-mile journey to and through Africa.
Doctor Jones, with the aid of lantern slides, presented the types of stalwart African natives, scattered from Nigeria to South Africa and back again to the Belgian Congo, that are making progress, the living conditions, which are being improved by government and missionary workers, and the economic resources of the vast continent of Africa, including diamonds, gold, corn, palm products, cattle, waterpower, and skill of the natives. He emphasized the importance of developing the possibilities of the widely differing African peoples. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, introduced Doctor Jones, who is the author of "Education in Africa," "Negro Education in the United States," and "Educational Adaptations," as one of the foremost leaders and helpers in the field of Negro education and inter-racial cooperation.
"NEW STAGE"
Philosophers say that life is but a stage and human beings merely actors; who appear, make their bow, go through their performances and vanish into the "wings of death." The U. N. I. A. is a world stage, with millions of actors each playing his or her role either to applause, silence or hisses. The celebrated William Shakespeare gave the best description of the actors and a stage when he wrote the following lines:
"It is a poor player who stunts and gets his hour out upon the stage, and then is not seen nor heard any more. It is a story told by an idiot."
"All the world's a stage.
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances.
And one man in his time plays many parts."
His acts being seven ages, in the three stages of men."
Every Negro is out on the stage before the footlights of the mighty posy, ois that be. It is left for everyone to play bis or her part to the back of perfection; after the curtain falls there is applause or hissing for you.
Every new Negro needs a know that we have had leaders on the stage for many ages. They entered one sole and went out on the other without even any applause or hissing.
They came and they went and nobody knew of them until the Hon. Marens Gavrey came on the scene and gave birth and life to the Negroes all over the world who have been on the stage of silence and dissatisfaction for years; a new bias to say and that is of doing something tangible for himself and his fellowmen.
The stage is so large that there is part to be played by every Negro in the world to put over the gigantic program before the audience of the great power that he who says that Negroes will never be anything. E. STEUARD

The case against the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Ellie Garcia and George Tobias of the Black Star Line for alleged misuse of the United States mails will be called some time this month in New York. For quite a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey.
Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey.

SCIENCE AND MEDICINE
WE spent nine days in the Grace Hospital, New Haven, Conn. when, under the direction of Dr. Thomas Russell, we were etherized, placed on an operating table and had the satisfaction of having a carbuncle cut out of the back of the neck.
A New York physician used his skill to prevent the carbuncle growing too large. Dr. Nursek, whom we met by chance, informed us that a carbuncle could best be handled, not by an incision, but by a cross-cut. Business carried us to New Haven, when Dr. I. N. Porter, a master in Israel in diagnosis, confirmed Dr. Nursek's suggestion, made other suggestions of his own and referred us to a scientific surgeon, who knew when, how and where to cut, and, best of all, how far to cut.
So we sought out the eminent surgeon, whose father was also an eminent surgeon.
We went to the Grace Hospital expecting an immediate operation. But instead of an immediate operation we were put to bed for twenty-one hours, during which our pulse and temperature were taken several times and blood extracted from the right ear and placed on glass slides to be inspected with the microscope. Other blood was extracted and placed in tubes containing different chemicals.
The result was that at high noon a week ago Saturday, when we stretched out on the operating table and began to inhale ether, not knowing whether we would wake up on this terrestrial world or in the spirit world, the scientist and genius in whose hands we placed our life knew the condition of our heart, lungs and blood as well as knowing just how much ether our system could stand. The result was that we woke up out of the ether sleep in our cot in the ward.
Then the master mind knew how long to keep the cut open to drain it of all possible infection, what diet to prescribe and when to release us from the hospital. The result was that although we were kept part of the time on a liquid and part of the time on a vegetable diet, we weighed almost as much when we left as we did when we entered the hospital.
In the nine days in which we sojourned in the accident ward we watched the handling of a half dozen other cases. A few years ago guesswork was the prevailing method in medicine. But now a definite program is mapped out in nearly every case, and scientific precision characterized the various stages in combating the ills to which flesh is heir.
When a man goes to a physician now complaining of pain in his eyes, head, chest, back or sides, etc., the scientific physician endeavors to first get at the root of the matter. He endeavors to discover whether the seat of the trouble lies in the nerves, blood, liver or kidneys. Knowing what one of the vital organs and what method of the man's living or eating is at the root of the trouble, the scientific physician knows how to get at the seat of the trouble.
A score of years ago an eminent Baptist divine was treated for nervous trouble. Finally he went to a scientific physician, who discovered that the man's kidneys were not functioning properly and that he was eating too much meat. We know of several similar cases.
MAN AND ENVIRONMENT
Medicine now presses into service the sciences of physiology, psychology, mechanics, physics, chemistry, biology, bacteriology and embryology. Three or four thousand years ago our ancestors dreaded wild animals, the lightning, heat, cold and various diseases. They were helpless before the forces of nature and diseases which robbed men of strength and vigor. They looked upon nature and her god as an all-powerful and malignant force to be propitiated.
But two kinds of scientists appeared on the scene. One kind of scientist studied the laws and forces of nature, learned her secrets and mastered her, until they were able to fight cold with fuel and steam-heated flats; until they tunneled mountains, bridged chasms and pressed into service steam, gas and electricity and the ether of space, until today, with the steamship, locomotive, automobile and airplane, they can cover more ground in one day than Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar could in a week.
Then another kind of scientist began with Hipparchus to scientifically study the human body. Harvey, Koch, Jenner, Pasteur, Metchnikoff, Osler, Chittenden and others made their contributions, until today we know the value of buttermilk, fruits, the green vegetables and vitamins, fresh air and exercising the trunk muscles, the cause of diabetes, kidney troubles, high blood pressure and hardening of arteries, and the dangers of excessive meat eating.
Science has enabled man to know his own body and the nature of the universe that environs him. Hence it has taught man how to adopt and adjust himself to the laws of his own physical organism and the world in which he lives. It only errs when it dogmatizes regarding the soul of man and the ethical and spiritual experiences which relate him to a superensuous world and supersensuous environment. But let us ever be grateful to the scholars and scientists who enabled man to know his own physical organism and the world in which he lived.
These were the Sunday meditations which we indulged in while we lay on our cut and thanked the surgeon and other medical pioneers who made it possible for us to wake up out of the ether sleep in this natural world and removed the source of intense pain without great loss of blood.
UNITED STATES VERSION MARCUS GARVEY ET. AL.
MORE than fifteen months have passed since the first indictment was found against Mr. Marcos Garvey and the man indicted with him. After an appearance of the case on the Trial Calendar of the local Federal court several times a new indictment was found against the defendants. At the time of pleading to this latter indictment the government's attorney contended that the new indictment was not a separate and distinct indictment, but merely supplemental or amendatory to the first. The case has since that time been adjourned from week to week. Latest information furnished us is that trial will positively begin on May 7, 1923. It is quite likely that the case will be tried before Judge W. T. Grubb of Birmingham, Ala., or H. H. Watkins of Anderson, S. C.
We have never really been able to obtain a clear-cut statement of the specific charges against Mr. Garvey and his co-defendants. One thing we have been told is that the crime for which the indictment is returned is "using the mails in a scheme to defraud," in violation of section 215 of the United States Criminal Code. The provisions of the section referred to are as follows:
There has been an unfortunate and an unfair tendency to have preliminary trials of the case in the newspapers. We suspect that this has been the result of the aim of the enemies of Mr. Garvey and his movement to create such public sentiment as to influence prospective jurors. It will be conceded by all that this constitutes one of the most flagrant violations of American fair play.
The issue is, however, not whether or not the defendants in the case have violated any provision of the postal laws of the country, but whether the principles of Mr. Garvey's movement will triumph over the propaganda of its enemies. If the United States wins, it will be a point won for Mr. Garvey's enemies. If Mr. Garvey wins, his victory will be a triumph over his enemies.
THE OUTLOOK OF THE U. N. I. A.
THE Universal Negro Improvement Association and what it has in store for us as a people largely depends upon ourselves and our resolutions to assist in putting this gigantic program over. Since the clarion sound has been sent out, the brain of the New Negro all over the world has been active, whether in the Occident or the Orient, the Antarctic or the Arctic, North, South, East or West, whether French, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Belgian, Portuguese, American or English. Whatever the land of our birth or adoption, or under whatever flag we have been domiciled, our one thought has been of our motherland, Africa, in some form or other.
The brain of the New Negro has been more active for good during this period than for the four hundred years previous. This statement may sound ridiculous, but it can easily be proven; for today, more than at any time in the history of the Negro, we have begun to know ourselves as we have been known by others for a long time, and that universally. For not alone in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is this true, but in every organization Negroid there has been a united effort in bringing about better results, namely, the fostering of a bigger and better brotherhood of the darker races and a greater oneness of purpose for the general welfare and progress of the Negro the whole world over.
Our executives have gone right on doing the things that were outlined to them when commissioned. Although hampered sometimes, they have done their best. But in the event of failure to function they have been removed for cause and only for cause, thus showing to the outside world that the time has come, and to those within our ranks that the time has past, when incompetents will be permitted to gamble away the future of our race.
The trusty ones have been called upon to shoulder a greater share of this burden. And to a man they have responded. We have created new fields of endeavor, we have developed old ones. "Improvement and expansion" has been our watchword, through which, seemingly, insurmountable barriers have been struck down, in some cases never more to rise again.
And what has brought this about? With all that the enemies of the association have done and are doing, we are still on the upward march. Then it is only through the fundamental conditions made possible by the octagonally prepared table of affinity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which form the great basic and economic factors that go to make the new backbone of the Negro. And while it is true that the cycles of succeeding periods of prosperity do not follow each other very closely, yet we hope that with the same spirit of determination made manifest by that true spirit of oneness born of visions of nationalistic grandeur evinced during this period, for the reviving of Ethiopia's ancient glory, will not be hampered through decline or by depression, but will continue to improve along every line with the same undaunted courage and precision. P. L. B.
ART AND PREJUDICE
WE read in the papers last week that a committee of famous artists turned down the request of Miss Augusta Savage, a colored sculptress and poetess who desired to go to France with a group of artists this summer to study in the famous schools and art galleries of fair France.
Miss Savage shows promise as an artist. Her friends were ready and willing to defray all of the expenses of the trip. But the committee of American artists thought her dusky hue might raise the race question.
It has been claimed that science and art knows no color line. Poushkin in Russia, the two Dumas in France, Coloridge Tayloe in England, Chevalier St. George in France, Ira Aldtidge, Edmonia Lewis, Phyllia-Wheafley, Benjamin Bannoher, Paul Lawrence Dumbar, Charles G. Chestnut, James Weldon Johnson, Dr. W. E. B. De Bata, Prof. Kelly
Miller, Hon. A. H. Grinde, Prof. William H. Sandstromph, Dr. Alastairy, Cromwell and Dr. Edward Wilmot Blythe and other colored scientists, scholars, poets and artists and musicians have received a certain amount of recognition.
Now, if Miss Savage should take clay, bronze or marble, and under her deft touch should produce a masterpiece, she could get a good price for it and her picture and career would appear in daily newspapers and weekly and monthly magazines.
But going across the big pond with a selected group of American artists would give Miss Savage a certain amount of social prestige and standing. And the Americans, some of whom would buy the products of her brain and hand, are not quite ready to recognize as a social equal one whom they regard as a Negress.
They are not prejudiced against Miss Savage as a sculptress, but they dread the semblance of social equality and do not desire to be forced to recognize as a social equal a member of a supposedly inferior race.
But the time will ultimately come when a Negro scientist, scholar, poet, artist and musician will be recognized for his deeds and achievements, his genius and character, without the question of his social status being brought in. The difficulty at present is that when they think of the Negro they do not think of him as a man. Just as they assign dogs and horses to their place, so they have a particular niche for the Negro to fill, and they do not desire him to get out of his place.
But genius, talent and character will force their way and win
LIGHT BEARERS
DISPELLING darkness has been the task of great men in all ages. The darkness here referred to is the darkness brought on by ignorance, injustice, disease and the darkness of selfishness.
In far-off China zons ago came Confucius, bearing light to the millions, countless millions, of his fellow men. His doctrines of self-respect are flambeaux of light, and which lighted China through its paths of self-secured darkness. Confucianism prevails in China today.
In age-old India—old when Marcus Polo was an unknown stripling—there came one Gautauma Buddha, teaching the eight-fold way. To this intensely spiritual people Buddha became a god. He, too, was a lightbearer. His light shines through the centuries.
Zoroaster, the mystic Persian, came in far-flung centuries ago. To his people he was a lightbearer. Who dares dispute them?
Mohammed ages ago enshrined himself in the hearts of his wild but highly spiritual fellow men. The words of this martial spiritual leader sways more human beings today than does the words of any other lightbearer. His followers lay no divinity claim for him. He is to them what to himself he was—a lightbearer, a prophet. Who knows, who knows?
So the Man of Nazareth came. The God-Man, Jesus, the Christ. The world declares Him to be the Supreme Lightbearer. Himself the Light. His doctrines animate the civilized world—all progress. "He came unto his own," so reads the word.
Marcus Garvey of the latter days has come. He, too, is a lightbearer as surely as there are lightbearers. He came unto his own—the black peoples of the world. He is the headlight that must direct his fellowmen through the dangers and vicissitudes of the wilderness. He, too, has brought light to them that saf in darkness. All glory to the lightbearers!
Light, much light, will cure the world of all its ills. T. W. A.
living, if the living are able, as they affirm, to call them back into the world of the living.
Old General High Cost of Living has returned on a load of sugar and several other things and his army of profiteers are charging the enemy without compunction of conscience, robber rates per pound for this and other family necessities. We seem to be living in an age of graft and plunder. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer by the machinations of the conscienceless capitalistic class that control the necessities of life and compel the people to pay robber rates for them.
But these modern "spirits" who are said to return with messages from the other side appear to be a privileged class speaking in cryptic language to the mediums through whom they are supposed to operate and delivering no messages that are of real value to humanity in general. They do not, in so far as I have been able to learn, touch upon any historical data of the period in which they lived nor give any information on any disputed historical fact within their knowledge.
The world war has resulted in making every shopkeeper and dealer in the commodities of life a potential swindler and grafter, and the sounddrills who control the raw products are the worst of the lot. Some day the masses of the people are going to strike back at these profiters, and strike them a body blow. There is no just or plausible reason why sugar, five years after the world war, should now retail at 10 cents, and in some places 12 cents per pound, but the manufacturers want more profits, larger dividends on sugar stocks and more surplus money for luxuries for themselves, automobiles, yachts, ropes of pears for their women folk and families, and are determined that the people shall provide them with the wherewithal with which to splurge at Palm Beach and in Europe.
Usually their messages are concerning the dead relative of persons in their audiences calling their names and sometimes describing them to the living. This can be done by some clairvoyants and other gifted mystics, so that it seems a pity to awaken and arouse the dead who know not anything to obtain from them information of this kind when they know nothing.
I suppose John knew exactly what he was saying when he said: "The dead know not anything," otherwise he would not have been so positive in the declaration. He may have meant that they knew nothing of what is going on in the world beyond, the land of spirits. It is hardly conceivable if we grant for arguments sake that if the dead do return that they would be permitted to reveal any knowledge or information descriptive or otherwise they may have acquired while sojourning in the land of spirits. God has always kept His own secrets, which is one of the sources of His great power and it is most difficult to believe that any human being dead or alive would be permitted to reveal any part of them.
The devil seems to have been let loose in the world and to be spending his vacation in the United States, judging from the number of high crimes and misdemeanors which are daily reported in the newspapers in all parts of the country. It is really appalling to read these accounts of murder, robbery, domestic infidelity, followed by divorce, and wounds of every sort and character. In these latter, the well-to-do and highly educated seem to be in the lead. Once upon a time I had gotten the impression that the "superior race" was really superior, but I have since been disillusioned and have discovered that it is just human like; the rest of us, being no better and no worse than the average human being born in sin and headed for hell. It Dean Pickens isn't mistaken about its nonexistence as a place of punishment.
Assuming that such a thing was possible, to mortal man the quest of the unattainable has been characteristic of the human rate since the morning stars sang together and the cerulean kissed nibria cloud-capped mountains wet with heavenly dew.
The building of the Tower of Babet is a characteristic example of human curiosity to find out God. It failed in confusion just as spiritualism will fail in its effort to build a subterranean passage to the realm of the all-knowing and relay messages from spirit-land to earth through the media of the dead who know not anything. The Scientific American has $5,000 it has increased the amount of its prize) for any spiritualist or medium who can successfully and satisfactorily give a demonstration of his or her ability to produce the spirit of any dead person and any message from the land beyond the grave without resort to trickery or any other of the arts hitherto employed by doctors or so-called mediums who have looked downwards by their alarms' gifth. The Scientific American's prime is the challenge which confronts mediums of every part of the world and as they are not reaching to grab it, we shall continue to have our doubts of spiritualism as a useful, and helpful force in the discrimination of truth and the knowledge which passeth understanding.
The Scientific American, which has offered a prize of $3,500 to any responsible spiritualistic medium who can produce the proofs that the dead return or that they can communicate with the living, says it has received no applications from any reputable medium for the prige it has offered, and that it is not yet convinced that it is possible to communicate with departed spirit.
I am at one with the Scientific American's viewpoint on this subject. I do not believe now, and never have at any time in my life, that the dead return or have any communication with the living whatever. If, as Job says, "The dead know not anything," the inference to be drawn is that they could have nothing to serve to the
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. Merrill,
Forget me to say a few times different valuable quotes to let the rest of the world know what is going on in New Orleans. We have been subjected all kinds of obstacles, but, with the temptation of a humorous evening, food for her young, we are calling these things that will ultimately result in the redemption of the Negro peoples of the entire world.
Having just been appointed commissioner for the States of Louisiana and Mississippi, I entered upon my duties with the usual amount of energy that, has always characterized my activities for the cause of the U. N. I. A. In starting my membership drive in New Orleans I called on the Rt. Rev. P. H. Nay and laid before him the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. and its African program. After considerable explanation of the condition of the Negro peoples of the world, Rev. Nay, offered up a prayer to the god of the Negro peoples of the world (and the god that he serves) for the success of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. after which he joined the New Orleans Division and assured me that the eight hundred members of his church would be enrolled in another week.
Its indeed gratifying to me to have my first effort crowned with such success, and with the policy that I have in mind thousands will follow the footsteps of the Rt. Rev. P. H. Nay. I remains, yours for the cause. S. V. ROBERTSON. Commissioner Louisiana and Mississippi. April 26, 1923.
To the Editor of the "Negro World." Dear Sir: Kindly allow me space in your very valuable columns to say a few words to the Judases.
As a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I have, in pursuing the columns, come across a number of names of high salaried individuals, that areuing for balances which they have really never earned. And I say this fearlessly, I as a race-conscious Negro, say that they ought to be ashamed of themselves, after making covenant in public with God and their brothers and sisters of the race to sacrifice not only their time, their talent, their fortunes, but even their lives.
How can a man be justified who has promised all this in the presence of Almighty God and his brother? I again question can he be justified in suing for his thirty pieces of silver? Woe unto thee of little faith. We can understand you going back on your word to your brother, but to God, what account will you give of your stewardship?
You should be proud to know that you were able to do something for this glorious cause, a cause which will help your posterity to "higher and better civilization." What will you say when confronted with the awful question what have you done not to cause Africa? Practice what you preach. What we need are more patriots, more men willing to sacrifice for the Redemption of Africa. Trusting that they may come across this little reminder and recant, I am yours for racial uplift and a free Africa. Fraternally,
W. E. LANTHER.

EDITORIAL NOTES
The Racial Problem
Most people erroneously imagine that the race issue is peculiarly American. That is due in part to the publicity given by both white and colored American papers to cases of lynching, segregation and discrimination within the United States.
When they speak of solving the race problem and of improving the conditions under which Negroes live, they have in mind only the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States.
Ever since Britishmen abandoned the Victorian policy toward subject races and began to exploit and cruelly treat the darker races England has had a race problem which threatens to disintegrate the mighty British Empire, and which throws into the shade the racial question in the United States.
With 300,000,000 "Indians," 200,000,000 Africans and several million Negroes scattered throughout the archipelagoes of the Pacific and the West Indian islands, the British Empire is in reality a "colored empire."
While the American color problem is domestic, the British racial problem is universal, and is the problem. Even if 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States obtain complete political, social and industrial equality, this would not solve the universal Negro problem. The real solution lies in the complete emancipation of the 200,000,000 African Negroes and the founding of several strong states in Africa, governed by Negroes and for Negroes.
White men the world over realize that if African Negroes are awakened and if there should be a confession of Negro states that this would spell the downfall of white overborship and the speedy solution of the race problem in a manner perhaps not to their liking. It is for this reason that England and France are extremely nervous over the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and are doing all in their power to keep the truth from our African brothers.
We are of the opinion that Afro-Americans should take more interest in the African continent and help their Negro brothers across the sea to throw off the shackles of British imperialism.

people are really two Frances. One is France, France, usually, of course, called France, of which everybody knows everything and many people know a little bit. The other is the France of France, black, yellow and brown, of which may few, obtains those directly impressed, know anything at all. Yet the France of Color is enormously big than White France, and has already of much larger population. Their relations be each other and to the rest of the world constitute a subject of the most interesting and even extraordinary character. This is particularly one of the Negro part of the France of Color—its most important part—and one which presents a problem not easily solved.
including Algez-Lorraine. White France has a population of about thirty-nine millions, and it is going down; the France of Color has a population of nearly seventy millions, and it is going up. In the one case the birth-rate contracts, in the other it expands. Within a comparatively short time the France of Color will have thrice as many people as White France. Since 1880 France has largely increased her African dominions—so much so that the France of Color is predominantly black. With her falling birth-rate she could never have hoped to colonize her African territories, which, besides, are not rich in natural resources for exploitation. Why, then, did she acquire these lands?
Before the war a friend of mine deeply interested like myself in foreign affairs, asked me that question, and answered it by assuring that the object of French expansion in Africa was the raising of a great army of blocks with which to fight France's battles in Europe—at any rate, in part. The war showed that his view was correct. If French Africa did not afford any other chip it at least produced a tremendous crop of fighting men.
Ludendorff said that France "waged the war, especially in 1918, largely with colored troops." And it is true. General Mengin admits this in his book entitled "Common limit la guerre." The finance of Color contributed upward of three quarters of a million men to the forces of White France; 545,000 fought in the ranks, and one-fifth of them fell; 22,000 men were enrolled in the labor battalions. These colored men came all the possessions of France, but were officers and the best of them were West Africa.
Now all the nations fighting in the war made use of colored troops and labor battalions wherever they could. Britain and the empire employed large numbers of colored men—tucklings, Sikhs and others, from India; Negroes from Jamaica, and blacks in German East Africa, and so on. In the army the United States sent to France there were Negro regiments. Immune numbers of Chinese worked in labor battalions in France and elsewhere. The Germans had many blacks fighting for them in Africa. France had just as much justification in using colored troops as the others had. This, too, is true. But there is a difference: it looks rather to the future than the past or the present, but it exists. General Munzin more than blinked in his book, mentioned above, when he declared, "We the French must contemplate an army in which there will be as many colored Frenchmen (through de couleur) as white Frenchmen."
White France, according to the statement of this high military authority, counts on being supported by the France of Cote with forces as large as her own. It is only fair to say that behind all the quirks connected with reparations and the allied debts arising out of the war, we find the fundamental question for White France. How is she to continue to live as a Great Power, not to say dominate as a state, when Germany, whom she regards, not without reason in the light

of her past experiences, as her invertebrate and implecable enemy, has in population, a white population, very much larger than her own, and that tends ever to grow bigger and bigger proportionately?
In a recent number of the Edinburgh Review Mr. Stephen Gwynn, in a remarkable article called "Literary Studies of Greater France," dealing with some half a dozen books lately published, mostly in Paris, concerning the France of Color, puts the above question in this way:
"Are the French going to 'bring Europe into Africa or Africa into Europe? If either happens there still spreading conquests will have, a far greater significance in history than all that England ever did in India. In any case conquest will go on; for France there can be no looking back. Various forces and motives pushed her forward in the sudden career of expansion from 1880 onward; but now one foot dominates the whole. Victorious France knows that even after her victory the Germans are six to four against her and will soon be two to one; she knows also that one of the chief alds of her Pyrhle victory was the unexpected recourse found in her African soldiers." So Mr. Gwynn: a careful publicist, who always writes very well.
But from what I have said in the foregoing paragraphs it will be evident that I do not agree with him when he says France found an "unexpected resource" in her black troops. It is extremely difficult to see why she went on conquering and occupying the other who unproductive Negro territories. If it was not to gain for her this very strength. I have already given what seems to me—and by no means to me alone—the real reason, which is the German menace, why she thinks it essential to have this reservoir of force in addition to her own. In effect her attitude is that necessity knows no color just as it knows no law.
Yet if necessity knows no color, just as it knows no law, it invariably imposes penalties, usually heavy penalties, for missegnation, for the mixture of incongruous races, as for breaches of law. On this subject I desire to be just to France, whom I admire in many ways, but not in all. White France puts forward a claim to escape the penalties that are attached to any great breaking of the color line—the breaking of which in other lands generally produces such unattractive results. She clauses nothing less than to be able to assimilate her colored people, to make them into French people. For instance, she calls a nignegalee soldier a Francais de couleur—a Frenchman of color, but none the less, a Frenchman. Compare with this the use of the same expression in the quotation given above from General Mangl's book. France justifies her having black troops on the Rhine by stating they are Francais de couleur. Negro Frenchmen, not just Negroes.
This is an immense claim. Is it well founded? Is there ground for saying that France can make Frenchmen out of blacks? It comes to that. First of all, it has to be taken into account that the prejudice against color has never been to strong in France as, to be quite frank, it has been, and still is, in England. The British Empire, contains far more colored people, than does the empire of France, but Britain has never regarded them as British, except in a special way, they are British, much as they belong to the Empire, but they are not really British in the strict sense. England has never thought of the nature of India, for example, as English men or English women of color. When India obtains Home Rule her people will call themselves, quite rightly, Indians, not British.
Hameir he shown that she possesses some power of assimilation, as in Algeria, Lorraine and Savoy, but the peoples of these areas were whites and civilized. America demonstrates that she has also this power with regard to whites; she has not, however, assimilated her Migrants though some of them are civilized. It is color, demote and different pronunciation, that is the bar. Can France jump over or break down that bar? A book referred to in Mr. Gwynan's article, and entitled "Datoula," written by a Frenchman of color, gives an unerain answer. There is an English translation published by Jonathan Sipe. Rene Maran, the author of the original, which is in excellent French, is by race a pure African Negro, but is an official of the French Government in Equatorial Africa. He was educated at Bordeaux, and calls France his pette Pairie adoptive.
"Batoumia" tells the story of a few days in the life of a petty Negro chief, and its atmosphere as well as setting it distinctly Darkest African. All that Batoumia, the chief, knows of France is that he must obey her or be destroyed. In the book M. Maran appeals an a Frenchman—he writes as one—to Frenchmen for support against the methods of French Colonial rule and the type of men employed in it. These methods, he tells us, are more likely to exterminate the natives than make Frenchmen of them. And he is in passionate revolt against sending these fortunate people to be butchered in defence of a civilization that is not theirs and has no value in their eyes.
M. Maran must be taken as a genuine Francais de couleur—a black, yet a Frenchman; he is an instance of what White France can do. Yet when he returned to his native land he wrote that, though French at heart, he rejected his ancestors and his relatives because he was no longer of the same mentality; he had nothing in common with them. This is the same as saying that white France succeeds in individual cases in making Francais de col-
lear, she makes no effort, and no effect
op the mass. This, then, is the Negro
problem of France, and I, for one, do
not see how she is going to solve it.
The truly fact remains that she continues
to recruit blacks by hundreds of
thousands for her army—From February OVERSEAS.

"HARK TO THE CALL"
By R. T. BROWN
Lake A darning message from the throne of God, piercing the stillness of the night of gloom which had shrouded the Negro race five years ago, with its bountiful shadows of oppression, regregation, Jim-crowism, hate, jealousy and fear which loomed up on every hand, come the voice of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Asc., bearing a message of hope, teaching a lesson of love, unity, and brotherhood, and freedom.
That call touched a responsive chord in the hearts of countless millions everywhere in the ranks of the Negro face; the message thrilled his soul, and raised his age-long desire for freedom; the practical value and usefulness of the lesson riveted his attention, and out of the shadows, of that gloomy night which had enshrined him, the new Negro leaped forth into the glorious light of the dawning of the new day of freedom, which had just begun to shed its rays in hearts of oppressed peoples everywhere, strong hope, stern determination, and a new and strong desire for life, according to the Almighty's plan, and the awakened sons of Him, facing tied and all creation, declared with Henley:
"Out of the night, which covers me, Black as the pit, from pole to pole, I thank the God who gave it me. For my unconquerable soul,
For my unquestionable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not wiped nor cried aloud;
Under the blinding of Chance.
My head is blobby, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade;
And yet, the passing of the years
Finds, and shalt find, me unraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the
scroll;
I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.
He had caught the vision, and the
dealie for freedom slumbering in his
breast, flamed forth anew, destined to
shake the very pillars of civilization,
in the fulfillment of the promises of God.
Five years ago the Negro race seemed to have reached the place in its life where its sons and daughters were dismantled and disgusted with the antics and smallness of soul and narrowness of vision displayed by the hand-picked leaders who up to then were foisted upon the race. The race thirteenth for self-expression and for freedom and expansion, the like of which all free people enjoy. The
leaders picked by the self-styled supper race more; puppets in their mistress hands, had no definite program for Negro freedom, no practical solution for segregation, lim-crowler and other kindred forms of oppression and limitation which hammed in the sons and daughters of Ham, and circumscribed their acts, and hindered the fullest expression of the powers of body, soul, and mind; and they were carried forward on the wave of passion, which, like a thin vell, covered the Negro's longing for freedom, finally landing where the swiftly moving events of the last five years found them bankrupt in ideas for Negro, uplift, deficient in backbone to stand up fearlessly and fight for the rights of the people they thought they led, and utterly useless as leaders of men. Meanwhile the desire for freedom was burning more fiercely in the breasts of the Negro peoples of the world. The leaders tried to mark time; the race had outgrown their antiquated and spineless policies, surged past them, and was moving onwards, but few knew whither. There was no leader in sight big enough of soul, broad enough of vision, steep enough in courage, fearless enough in spilt, to take up the leadership where the white man's favorites had lost it, and, though the race was moving forward, few, if any, knew whither, and all seemed dark as night, as if the cause of Hara and Africa was lost. But-the Great Controller of the Universe has always through all ages, from the days when old Noah sounded his warnings to the antediluvian world, prepared Him a leader, fashioned according to His purpose, to guide His people and lead them into freedom and light. The case of the Negro race was no exception to the divine rule, and so when all seemed dark as night, leaders failed, and none knew "whither bound," the voice of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. sounded 'mild the stillness and the gloom, like a fanning message from the throne of God, spreading courage, rousing the sleeping fires of the Negro's soul, pointing like a light divine to the great possibilities which lay for us beyond the groom, inspiring untold thunder-kindling the imagination, steeling the heart, and nerving the soul for the great day of realization which was opening for this great race of ours, and leading the way to liberty and freedom, to peace and power and plenty.
The will of the Negro sprang to life anew, his eyes gleamed with a fierce new light, determination marked his mien, cringling gave place to manhood, fear gave way to courage, and hope filled his soul, which but a short space before was downcast and distressed. The slumbering fires in the Negro's backup were kindled anew, the ashes of inactivity were scattered to the winds of heaven, and he saw God and His promises as they never appeared before. He shook himself from the inactivity caused by oppression, and stepped forth under God's heaven, a new creature, resolved henceforth to follow Marcus Garev and the UNLA and to lead his life only according to God's will and subject to no other will. Like a burning scroll the gloomy passef from before the Negro's gaze and today he sees the universe according to the divine plan—yet, and he sees there, too, a part to be played by him and his race in the future shifting of the destinies of the world and its people. He has been led to a realization that his is a great and masterful part, to be executed in the fashion of great men; that the land of his fathers must be rescued from the hands of the greedy parasites which have seized upon its broad acres and seem intent to suck its very life-blood. The spirit of his great ancestors has filled anew his soul, giving him a vision of the mighty deeds of daring they did in the ages when the earth was young and many ages after and pushing him onward to greater things, and hence the race sweeps forward, onward and upward, thrilled, awakened, animated and quickened as no other race has ever been before since this day when in obedience to the divine command the light chased the darkness from the face of the earth.
The fruits of this awakening are to be seen on every hand where Negroes live; and though some of the greatest beneficiaries from this rejuvenation of the race's will and inspiration and determination are among those who refuse to concede the honor due to Marcus Garvey for the vision and the call, and for his inspired leadership, and these self-sampling ones join in deriding and in seeking to hinder his progress and rob him of the fruits of victory, they shall wreck their ships of jealousy upon the rocks of honesty, purity of purpose, sincerity and red-blooded manhood which surround him and the faithful millions seeking for the light. And in the years to come, when the Muse of History will write the record of the achievements of black men the wide world over, she shall strew palms of victory and wreaths of honor on the brows and shoulders of the etalwart, faithful Negro heroes of all ages; then, dippling her, pen in inspired ink, she shall write above them all in the bright and shining heavens, in letters of blood and gold and fire, the name of Marcus Garvey, "The Great Emancipator."
And at the present time, as we view the trials which surround us and watch the activities of traitors: lire, hypocrites and envious ones, our hearts are unmoved, our determination is strengthened, because we know by these signs that the race is passing through the crucible of purification. The dress is being burned, away, the race is being cleansed as no race of man has ever been cleansed before, for we have a great and mighty program and purpose before us; and out of this testing and trial the Negro shall emerge a man that to look his Maker in the face and face all mankind. This is the true men that

Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association are calling for. This is the only kind of man that will be able to carry out the great program for the salvation of the race, for its uplift and progress and for the redemption of the fatherland. Africa, and the establishment thereof, a government that shall lead the way in science, art, commerce, literature and every other human activity, a wonder and admiration to all mankind.
It is because of this been, earnest realization on the part of this divinely inspired man, Marcus Garvey, and those who follow his lead and make up the rank and file of the great organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that we are nerved and strengthened and prepared to meet every encounter, stand every trial, go through every name, cross every sea, whether of fire, water or hate; break down every barrier which would hinder the progress and advancement of this race of ours, bare our breasts in freedom's holy cause, conquer every foe, and carry the battle to the gates that this race might live and that living it might, be able to bear itself truly and manfully in all its courses upon this earth; feel and earn the good will of the rest of God's children, look the Creator in the face at the close of the ages and win His approbation. And it is also because of this great realization that I am taking the opportunity here presented to send out the warning to my brethren everywhere to listen to the voice of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A.
Firm in his faith, confident of victory, unfaltering in his purpose, unflinching from pain or whatever may be in the path to the attainment of freedom for the race, Garvey and the U. N. I. A. lead on through doubts and fears, through tattle, hate, opposition, sending the message of inspiration and uplift and freedom and achievement to the countless millions of the sons of Ham scattered the world over; pointing them to the glorious promises of God, unfurling the Red, Black and Green, the banner of freedom and lever the standard of an awakened people. Once again, fellow-Negroes "hark to the call" and follow in his trail.
THE SPIRIT OF 23
The war was fought and peace was bought.
But at a staggering price.
Great men with brain were gassed inside,
And nations lowered to vice.
2
Black men fought, too, the whole war through.
To save the powers that be;
They gave their lives to make the world
Safe for democracy.
3
They thought their stand would make this land
A living Paradise.
When they perceived they'd been deceived.
Toward home they turned their eyes.
4
For there alone we'll build a home
Where we can live in peace;
Our lives thus spent well content,
While Hamites would increase.
So spread the news of a great man's views.
Of something that must be;
Install in them that grit and vim.
The spirit of 23.

UNIVERSAL NEG
He Know What Was In Man
By Rt. Hon. THOMAS W. ANDERSON
Assistant Secretary General
In all that you have learned within
or without the schools there is noth-
ing more important than what you
know of believe you know about human
nature. You have been told many con-
flicting things. You have been told that
men are, on the whole, very good,
that they are friendly, generous, trust-
worthy, and that the joy of life lies
in friendship and in co-operation with
your fellows. You have been told
where men do fall short of what
they should be, that they are reachable,
that they can be reached and touched
and changed and made right, and that
the highest, happiest life work is in
some way to make men better, and
then to live and die compassed about
by their gratitude.
On the other hand, you have heard an entirely different story. You have heard from many high sources that life is essentially tragic, that under all the shows of civilization and religion, life is war, as relentless as ever it was in the jungles, and that the hope of making society really better is forever an illusion. The honorable Brutus, it is said, the noblest Roman of them all, is never able to regenerate Rome. He comes at last to his Philippi and is slain by the corrupt society which he has sought to save. The generous Timon, they say, who lavishes his wealth upon those about him, always finds himself forsaken in his adversity, and can only turn upon mankind with rage and curses. Prince Hamlet, we are told, finds always that the state of Denmark is rotten and can only cry, "How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!" According to this tragic view of life, Moses, the nationmaker, who leads the people out of Egypt through the desert toward the Holy Land, is always stricken with despair, not by his enemies, but by the perversity of his friends—by the perversity and treachery of his own people, and is always forced to cry to God, as Moses did, for death as an escape from his intolerable burden.
Now, in hearing and weighing these and other conflicting views as to what the truth is about human nature, it is surely worth while to hear and to weigh the views of Him of whom it was said, "He knew what was in man." What did He see in us?
For one thing He saw the evil. No man-hater ever saw it blacker. He knew that there is in man hust and murder and treachery and a covering of hypocrisy. He knew no philosophy with which to take these things lightly. They were to Him—infinitely more dreadful than the lash or the crown of thorns. The worst of them was disloyalty—the disloyalty of His friends. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." He wept over Jerusalem and said, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that that kills" "the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered their children together, even as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not." He was betrayed by one of the Twelve for money. On the last night they all forsook Him and fled. And one of them that night, three times denied that he knew his Master. If ever a man

was jubilised in turmoil with tragic恭陵ness away from the human race, it was Jesus of Narnath.
Why did He not give us up? The answer is, because he knew what was in man. Because underneath the man of lust and murder, and treachery He saw another man who cannot be given up. He knew the passion of the Prodigial the passion which led him from his father's house into every infliquity; but He also knew that in the Prodigial there was . deeper passion which, if awakened, would lead him from among the swine back to the life where he belonged. He knew the disloyal cowardice of Peter. But He knew that below the cowardice and disloyalty there was a Peter who would stand like a rock in a storm. He looked out from His Cross-upon a jeering multitude, symbol of the vaster multitude, who would forever jean and crudely the good, and there He performed His supreme miracle. He believed in them. He saw what was in them. He saw through the darkness and through the whirlwind of passion the real multitude, whose deepest necessity, is that they shall be loyal to each other and to their Father in heaven.
My friends, my fellowmen, believe this man. Learn this lesson He would teach. Life is tragic, as He saw. Life is terrible, as you know. You may fight as the tigers do until your turn comes to perish. You may curse with Timon. You may despair with Hamlet. Or, with Jesus of Nazareth, you may find a place within, where there are neither curses nor despair nor war, nor traitors, nor hypocrites, but where there lives an unconquerable courage for every circumstance and for every task which can come to you before the going down of the sun.

Hundreds of colored people flocked to the Attacks Theatre on Friday, April 20, to hear the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who delivered one of the most thoughtful and inspiring addresses ever heard in the State of Virginia in the interest of the Negro race. A apleidid musical program graced the proceedings of the meeting, which were unsurpassed for solid enthusiasm and inspiration.
Mr. H. T. Ward, president of West Mundin Division, opened the meeting. After a few remarks in which he huded the aims and objects of the organization to the applause of the audience, he highly introduced the Hon. S. A. Haynes, Commissioner of States. The "Little Idol" as he is known to Garveyites in Virginia, was the recipient
OLD MEN ARE BEING MADE "YOUNG" AGAIN
Science Finds a Way to Restore Youthful Vigor to the Aged Without An Operation
A way to restore youthful vigor to aged persons, without an operation or dangerous drugs, has been discovered by scientists. The new discovery is a simple, safe tablet preparation known as korex, which can be used by anybody at home, without the advice of a physician. It has been found that the successful results that seem almost miraculous. For instance, a New Orleans man more than 60 years old, makes this report:
"I feel so good from the effects of the Korex treatment that I would not take $5,000 for what it has done. It has brought me back to as good, healthy physical condition, as I enjoyed at 35. I am apparently as supple as : '25. I my eyeglass is better than for years." A man in Chattanooga, Tenn., writes: "I am thoroughly trial and have found great results. I feel like a 16-year-old boy." A citizen of Charleston, S. C., says: "My tongue is not able to utter the praise korex should receive. It is a godsend to suffering humanity. I feel as if I was 25, and yet I am 53." Thousands of similar reports have been made, many of them by women. Hendre, who have tested the treatment testify that the effects are felt quickly, sometimes within twenty-four hours.
Distribution of the genuine korean in the United States is controlled exclusively by the Melton - boratories, 1508 Bentley, New York, NY. A lboratory have fixed a fair price of only $2 on a special double-striped treatment prepared for home use. The treatment will 1. sent in a plain, sealed wrapper to anybody who writes for it. 2. send the lboratory a copy of orders, or agree to pay $2 and postage when the parcel is delivered, but the laboratories, which are nationally known and thoroughly reliable, will refund the $2 if the korean fails to provide the $2 of korean in America is limited, or in need of it should write to the laboratories immediately.
of muff, applause which showed the esteem and high regard in which he is held by the people. Commissioner Haynes spake with much emphasis, courage and determination which kept the large audience cheering continuously.
The Hon. Marcus Garvey was presented by Mr. H. T. Ward, the gathering rising as the Ethiopian National Anthem greeted the First-Provisional President of Africa. If any one doubted the popularity of Marcus Garvey in Virginia, or, for that reason, the South, the 'tremendous ovation given him on Friday night swept away all doubts and fears. It was an ovation characteristic of the days of Cecar, one that will live long in the memory of those who witnessed it. The address of the President General was forceful, lifting the audience to heights of happiness and determination as he pointed to the possibilities of the organization and what it has already done. The speaker was occasionally interrupted by the applause of the people.
Among the white people in attendance were Lieut. White and aides of the Police Department, representatives of the city officials and the press. The Universal Four Quartet, with their original Garvey selections, won thunderous applause and worked the audience up to a high pitch of enthusiasm. The Stellar. Symphony Orchestra rendered select pieces to the delight of all. Mrs. Carlo Goodman, the song bird of Norfolk Division, rendered "The Handwritting on the Wall" with touching effect. Mrs. Creola Allison, the pride of West Mundin Division, treated the audience to a beautiful solo which was well received.
The Tidewater Divisions—Norfolk No. 22, Norfolk Chapter 22, Berkley, West Mundin, Campostella and Suffolk—turned out in full with their Black Cross Nurses and Legions. Owing to the shortness of the notice Newport News Division No. 6 was informed too late to take an active part in the meeting. We missed Revi Godsey and Mr. N. C. Drew, presidents of these divisions. Mr. H. B. Franklin, the indefatigable president of Division No. 20, worked hard and faithfully to make the meeting a success. Under his able administration we are marching on.

rose on the flight of the 3d. A short and spicy program was arranged by the oboik and other auxiliarists of the division. The President and Executive Secretary worked energetically to make the meeting a success, and though there was but little time for preparation the meeting was a huge success and all went their way rejoicing at the close of the meeting complimenting those who took part in the program for their splendid contribution. The Hon. Rudolph E. Smith was introduced by the First Vice-president, Mr. D. M. Nicholas, who acted as master of ceremonies. He greeted his audience in his usual pleasing and friendly manner, and in part said: "I am extremely glad to be back with you again and to see so many bright faces present; it shows that you are particularly interested in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League in arriving to bring about a better understanding between the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. You have been listening to members of the High Executive Council, for a long time; we have been telling of the suffering of our people everywhere, and you realize that something must be done for their benefit. We have started out with a constructive plan, with which we hope to be able to relieve the existing conditions among the Negro peoples of the world. God knows of the conditions affecting my people; He knows that they are not doing what they should to help the race combat the many obstacles and rise to a higher plane. The conditions are such as to cause deep consideration and much thinking.
Negroes during the period of slavery tried hard to wrest themselves from the yoke of oppression, failure confronted them in every attempt, because the white man was in control. Negroes are peculiarly affected, and what are they doing to help the coming generations? (We paid particular attention to this fact: He declared that up to the year 1914, just before the great conflict in Europe, Negroes were kept to the world and in most parts where they were found few Negroes knew whether Jerusalem was on earth or in heaven; they were kept in ignorance in most parts.)
"During the World War Negroes were called upon to fight for democracy. God made it possible for them to visit the battlefields of France and Flanders; in South and Central America the Negroes began to exchange ideas with other Negroes as they met from time to time. God made it possible for them to come to an understanding and during bloody conflict as they fought and prayed for deliverance they heard a voice from somewhere saying be of good cheer, prepare yourselves and I shall send you a leader. Now that you have a leader stand by him. His Excellency, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, is a powerful man; he is sacrificing and fighting against terrible odds for his people. The name of Marcus Garvey is in the air. Go down in Brazil, British Guiana, Argentina, Columbia and Honduras, the West Indies and you hear the name of Marcus Garvey ringing out like the sound of a mighty clarion on an echoing morm. France says, I am afraid of this man; England says I am watching this man. Why? Marcus Garvey stands up and tells the white race that he will educate and prepare his people to better protect themselves against the propaganda launched to block their progress. This one man has the world thinking.
"Some people try to compare DuBois with Marcus Garvey; but there is a vast difference between the two. DuBois is employed by white people endeavoring to bring about social equality within the race in America; Mar-
SAN FRANCISO, Calif. April 9.—Hamilton Hall yesterday was the scene of a royal time for the above-named division. It will long be remembered by the members, it being the occasion of a farewell to the Lady President, Mrs. C. Austin, who calls shortly for Liberia, Afrique, the motherland of the Negro race. In the absence of the acting president the meeting was called to order by the lady president with the singing of the opening ode. Prayer by M. Gopaul. At this function the Vice-President, C. W. Adams, came in. In the course of his remarks, he mentioned the fact that if the program of the U. N. I. A. must be put over, "even though it may not materialize in one day," it necessitates the assistance and untiring effort of all Negroes of the world. He said he is looking to this association to solve the problem. The keynote of his discourse was co-operation. Mr. Gopaul was introduced as master of ceremonies. The program was as follows:
Address, Mr. Rogers; reading, Mrs. Agnes White; solo, Mrs. Maud Fullil; address, Mr. Deane; reading, Mr. Durant; solo, Mr. McKenzie; recitation, Miss Kentish; address, Lady President Mrs. C. Austin.
Special mention must be made of Mr. Durant's memory and the eloquent manner used in his delivery. He is destined to become a factor that will be heard from providing he pays special attention to the development of the latent talent recently unearthed. Another young man who stands well in the estimate of the division for his ability to expound the aims and objects of the association is Mr. Deane of Panama.
Mrs. Agnes White, an elocutionist, extended herself in the rendition of David and Gollath, receiving hearty applause. The lady president arrows great applause. After thinking
our Garvey is a black man fostering a movement of Negroes for Negroes, supported by the Negroes of the world, hoping to establish a government for their better guidance and protection somewhere in the Motharland, Africa. Turn your attention to Africa, if you please, and see the beautiful hills, the lush grove and diamonds. Here Marcus Garvey says we must place a flag. What flag? Not the Stare and Stripes of America, nor the Union Jack of England, the Tri-Colors of France, for they are flags representing governments already established. Marcus Garvey said he would make a flag, and he made a flag, the Red, Black and Green, and said it must be placed on the hillside of Africa. (Applause.) Red for the gorgeous blood that coursed through our veins that some day we must shed for the redemption and protection of our home; black for the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, and Green, God's green earth, 12,000,000 square miles of land. This land we believe, some day will be ruled by its own. We are not afraid of the white man, he declared, but it is these Uncle Tom Negroes that are ever ready to betray us. What we must do is to stand by this great leader of ours. I believe God is with this man, and if God is with him the devil in hell can't do him any harm. The people condemn him, but the courts convict him not.
"The white man is looking after his own problem, the yellow man after his, the brown man after his, and Negroes had better look after their own affairs. If we have to die for our rights, let us die. I here say to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, stand up, be men and women, and let the world know that the principles of this organization and of His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey shall forever prevail. The Universal Negro Improve- Association is the greatest power in the Universe among the races, and you dare tell me that a few "Uncle Tom Negroes," who cannot see any further than their nose, can block the onward march? They might as well walk up to Niagara Falls and say: "Falls stop there." (Laughter.) In the Universal Negro Improvement Association there is power; we are aiming at the greatest thing that is possible for any one to aim at in the world—a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Marcus Garvey came on the scene and told the members of this great race of an Ethiopia government. Let it be our aim and ideal. Let us wake up in adverting for a few moments). Negroes who have not a home and do not want one, just take them to the undertaker. They are dead and do not know it.
"Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association let us hold fast, and Africa shall be redefined; the stone shall be rolled away by the bleaching hearts of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world. Contend for your rights and die for them if need be."
In conclusion he said: "The man who ceases to see the necessity of this great and noble organization is less than a man. Let us all respond to the motto of the organization, and with one voice say, One Aim: One God: One Destiny! The Negro who has not been aroused to such a cause as this has been tampered with; he is not right. Let us who have been aroused work energetically together until the Red, Black and Green takes its place along with the flags of the other great nations of the world."

the audience for their presence, she spoke in glowing terms of the president general and the uphill light he has been making for the redeemer of Africans at home and abroad. We were admonished to hold up his hands until victory comes. Her address inspired all to do their duty and stand together.
The audience presented her with a collection of $250. She was connected with many of the Women's Clubs in this city for city years. A very devoted social worker; but seemingly the esteem held for the San Francisco division of the U.N.L.A. has surpassed them all. This augurs well for the U.N.L.A. A. Mr.W. H. Lashley, president of the Cosmos Social Club, was among the audience. The president called on him for a few words. In his simple, pleasant and illustrative remarks he said that the U.N.L.A. was the greatest organization in the United States. We expect in the near future to register Mr. Lashley as an active member. All offers and members spoke in glowing terms of Mrs. Austin, wishing her Godspeed and success in her undertaking.
In the past the membership and attendance dwindled, but yesterday's attendance showed signs of resurrection. Co-operation among the officers will bring this division back once more to the limelight.

MESSAGE TO SQUARES
DIVISION NO. 36, D. N. I. A.
COSTA RICA, C. A.
Dear Friends and Fellow Sisters,
As your first vice-president and your representative before the Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, it is my bounden duty, at this particular stage of your existence as a division of the great and noble association known as the U. N. I. A., to send you this warning and encouragement, in the hope that you may be quickened anew, in the fervent expectation that you may rouse yourselves from the lethargic state into which you have fallen, cleans your ranks, throw out the lars and traitors, brush the mirage of false propaganda from before you, nerve your soul, steel your hearts, and step forth again, each day with mind afame, heart glow, and body a-tingle, keeping in the path that leads to freedom, progress, achievement, and advancement; conquering and to conquer, helping to put the gigantic program over, and following where Garvey leads.
Men, rouse ye from your spell! But a few short months ago, the Sliqurres Division, No. 36, occupied an enviable position among the divisions of the U. N. F. A. in Costa Rica, and now, the reports which have come to hand during the past few weeks tell of faltering by some, and of others who have gone to sleep, and still of others whose backbones have begun to wobble. Are you failing in the crucial test? Are you finching from the encounter when the wind blows highest? Can you afford at this hour to give listening cars to those traitors and raiscals who failed you in, the home of need? Do you not realize that treacherous men and claars, and dishonest men cannot lead you, or any people anywhere? If in all the years they could not lead you right how are they going to do It now, when you have had to throw them out for treachery and dishonesty?
Let me entreat you to stand fast like men who know what they are fighting for. Gird up, your loins spiritually, as well as physically, and brush these fawning eyelashs aside and take fresh heart, former faith, clearer vision and inspiration, press forward to your goal.
You must not fail. You cannot afford to fail! God and Africa would be ashamed of you, if you will allow the smooth, treacherous tongues of proven rascals and traitors to make you weaken, or quiver, and turn you from your goal. Together with you I have devolved my life to the cause of making the Sliquirres Division. No. 36, the greatest division in the world; and not kings, nor priests, nor traitors shall turn us from that high endeavor. In the selection of the officers you are undertaking, see to it that you secure men who will not hend the knee or trample to oppression; men who will not be shod pigeons for the enemies of your progress; men who are not wolve in sheep's clothing; then who will not desert you in your hour.
COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT Universal Negro Improvement Asn. NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!!!
The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well-wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field.
The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department, officer or employe of the Organization will please write to:
COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT
P. S.-If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularity on the part of officials, officers and employees of the Organization, caring not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unconstitutional, report it. If you have any complaints send them in now and don't wait until it is too late.
of seed and time of truth. The first group installed into office men who will then add life for the cause of the U. I. U. A. and the awakened and enlightened Negro men who will look the opposite in the face and tell him, "You must lied"; men and women conscientized to the cause of Negro uplift and Negro freedom; th short, men and women who would rather see the children of Ham naked and tree under the protecting hand, of a strong and powerful sympathetic Negro governess; in the land men called Africa, the land of our father, than in seas and comfort under alien standards of oppression.
Take courage, breathish! I will never desert you or forsake you. The time that I have spent away from your presence has been such a period of preparation that when again the name of the Squirrels Division is mentioned, the enemies of our progress, and advancement shall tremble, and slack away and hide, and die for very shame. And your spirit shall light up all the friends around. I shall never forsake you or leave you without the aid of a strong and mighty arm to keep up the fight against wrong, against oppression and treachery and dishonesty. Let thine heart cheer thee. Be strong and of a good courage. I have pledged to come to your, aid and I shall come to you if I have to cross seven seas to do it. You will scarcely have read these lines I will be in your midst, prepared as never before for the most galling fight against wrong in every form, against oppression and treachery and false propaganda. Yes, and we shall have to grow back bones strong and stout where your wishbones are now. Everything that tends to retard the onward, upward, forward movement of that division shall be blunted wide and the very atmosphere shall be charged with freedom, pro-
We are here in time, in our travails, and in our prowess, together with workers and the chief diversions are run and that in a glorious institution. We are pleased with a bright and noble life of real is freedom, our own in which And henceforth let us recreate ourselves, and taking up fresh occupations to meet every fan, standing four square to all the wide that lies, so that when, in the dim and distant future, a strong and masterful and respect-commanding Negro community, wealth shall have been established, solid and secure, on the shores of our fatherland, Africa, and the history of the achievements of the divisions and branches and chapters of the U. N. I. A. comes to be reckoned up, that of the Siquirres Division No. 38 shall occupy the highest and the brightest place among them all, shining among the constellations of Negro organizations like a bright and glowing star, sending its message of hope and love and freedom to fainting multitudes through the ages of time, right down into the eternities.
With firm and faming faith, and with a courage and devotion that will never yield, let us go forward till victory is won, and Africa is free. Believe me to be, yours for Negro freedom.

Opinión de Lloyd George
Sobre la Línea de Naciones
La gran debilidad de la Liga de Naciones se debe a que ella representa unicamente la mitad de los grandes poderes. La disputa franco-alemana hace aproximar la mas destructiva conflagración que se ha presenciado sobre la tierra. Y el ingreso de América en la Liga potrilla evitar que ocurra semejante conflicto.
El "Cuento" de Uno de los Representantes del Grupo Satisfecho—Las Grandes Naciones Obtienen Todo Cuanto Desean; ¿Qué Obtenemos Nosotroa? Hemos de Luchar Hasta Obtener la Emancipación de Cuatrocientos Millones de Seres y la Redención de Su Patria; Luego Paz, Paz Eterna
¿Constituye un triunfo la Liga de Naciones? Su propósito principal, como es sabido, consiste en prevenirinos contra futuras guerras por el establecimiento de algún Tribunal al cual las naciones estarán moralmente obligadas y puedan acudir para buscar una solución a sus diferencias. Su éxito o su fracaso deberá ser juzgado por este ensayo únicamente.
Una vez mas consideramos un deber, como miembros de esta organización, el informar a los elementos de nuestra raza diseminados por el universo sobre la situación actual, la cual nos afecta directamente como pueblo que lucha por su absoluta emancipación.
En lo que respecta al arreglo de la peligrosa disputa que surgio entre Cuecia y Finlandia acerca de las posiciones de las islas Aaland, los métodos puestos en practica por la Liga afianzaron su prestigio y pusieron de relieve su imparcialidad. Pero el fracaso de Vilna, el fracaso de Armenia, las sospechas que flotaron en torno de las adjudicaciones a Silesia, la timidez que ha prevalecido en la cuestión de las indemnizaciones, todo ello surge de una causa dominante.
Uno de los representantes del imperio británico se haya actualmente en los Estados Unidos de America, con el objeto de influir en el sentimiento americano, para que este se adhiera favorablemente a la Liga de Naciones. En un discurso pronunciado en la ciudad de Richmond, estado de Virginia, hace varios días, este señor representante dijo entre otras cosas: "Es necesario que los Estados Unidos ingrese en la Liga para que asista en la protección de la paz universal en el futuro."
Hasta que el resto ingrese en la Liga n muy bien podria denominarse la Alianza Sagrada a la Liga de Naciones. La Sociedad, para ser una realidad, debe representar a todo el mundo. El organismo seria, pues, essentialmente mundial. Lo contrario provocará seguramente una aguda e inutil controversia.
Este señor representante, como todo los demas estadistas ingleses, cree que la civilización ha llegado a tal estado que no habrá ya mas guerras y que la humanidad esta satisfecha con su situación existente, como por ejemplo: los indus satisfechos con la presión de Inglaterra y las tribus nativas de Africa martirizadas y explotadas por el dominio de los grandes poderes europeos. Si ellos creen obtener paz en el universo, por medio de asociaciones internacionales, mientras las naciones caucasicas dominan sin misericordia sobre los pueblos débiles, tienen una idea errónea de lo que naturaleza humana significa y del espíritu de la edad en la cual vivimos.
Pero en lo que concierne a la negativa de América para arherirse a la Liga de Naciones este es un asunto difícil y problémático. Aunque no juzgamos las cosas con excesivo pesimismo. No hay duda de que la actitud de América resta a dicho organismo toda oportunidad de feliz exito en el porvenir. Cuando América decidió no adherirse a la Liga Inglaterra, Francia e Italia permanecieron como grandes poderes. Los resultados fueron de subito detenidos.
La negativa francesa para referir a la Liga de Naciones todos los problemas políticos coloca a la Liga en una situación sumamente difícil. Tigto como esa actitud se mantenida, ella es impotent para restaurar y conservar la paz.
Si Inglaterra, Francia, Japón y aun Estados Unidos desean Liga de Naciones, deben incluir en ella el reajuste de todas las diferencias raciales y en este reajuste no deben pensar que pueden hacer las cosas a satisfacción del Irlandés, del egipcio, del indu, del hebreo, del polaco y del resto de las razas blancas de Europa, sin tomar en consideración los cuatrocientos millones de Negros, quienes estan determinados a obtener la verdadera libertad y democracia que corresponde a cualquiera otra raza en el universo. Queremos que estas naciones entiendan que el Negro dej presente no es ya "el hazme reir" de un cuarto de siglo ha; que el es un hombre de imaginación preclara, determinado a luchar por su propia felicidad y la de su raza.
La disputa relaciónda con las midifeminaciones puede degenerar en el más fatal conflicto que nunca se presencio sobre la tierra. Esta resultante en una grave disputa de pasiones. Si alguna vez ha ocurrido una oportunidad para una intervención de una organización creada expresamente para buscar soluciones pacíficas a los conflictos intermexionales, nunca como ahora es oportunidad es tan prominente.
El Gobernador de la Habana
Visita al Alcalde de
Esta Ciudad
Nos soprende sobremanera, al escuchar las manifestaciones de estos señores estadistas, el que ellos consideran exclusivamente sus asuntos, creyendo que el mundo empieza y concluye solamente con ellos, apesar de pregonar paz, justicia e igualdad, sin realizar que el Negro tiene alma, pasión, deseo y ambición como cualquier otro elemento del resto de la familia humana. Estos señores estadistas debieran usar mayor cantidad de sentido comun en su manera de considerar las situaciones y hacer saber a sus respectivas naciones que no existirá paz en el universo hasta que no se haga justicia a la humanidad en general.
El señor gobernador civil de la provincia de la Habana, comunitadante don Alberto Barreras, que se encuentra desde hace una semana en esta ciudad, en viaje de recoer, está siendo objeto de multipes agasajos por distinguidas personalidades cubanas y americanas. El lunes pasado se dirigió al municipio, con el objeto de saluar al alcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York, al presidente del ayuntamiento y al jefe de la policía neoyorquina Mr. Enright, acompañado del conseil general de Cuba en Nueva York señor don Fechine Taboada.
Cuatrocimientos millones de Negros estan dispuestos a percecer por su libertad, como lo estuvieron dispuestos dos de sus millones en los campos de batalla de Francia para implantar la verdadera democracia. El inglés debe realizar que el Negro se esta dando cuenta de la clase de política que aquel practica y que comete un-gran error si cree aun que el Negro africano y el Negro antillano se ha de sacrificar por mas tiempo, para enriquecer su limperio como si éste fuera una obra superior de la creación.
Mr. Hylan, estuvo conversando largo ratio con sus ilustraciones, cambiando impresiones acerca de la vida americana y cubana respectivamente. El gobernador señor Barreiras, invitó a Mr. Hylan para que hice una visión a la Habana, invitación que fue aceptada por el alcalde de la ciudad.
Mr. Hylan, puso a disposición del ilustre político cubano un remoldeador para que, en compañía de sus familiares y anigos haga una excursion por los ríos de Nueva York.
Los Estados, Unidos de América reusaran el ser influenciados en la participación de la Liga de Naciones porque sabe que no podrá engañar por mas tiempo a los quince millones de Negros que habitan en el país. La Liga de Naciones no reduce en beneficio alguno a los pueblos oprimidos; su lema es la conglomeración de los grupos fuertes para explotar y retener el dominio sobre los grupos débiles. Gran Bretaña cuenta con la asistencia de este país para retener el dominio sobre sus colonias americanas; Francia cuenta con la asistencia de los demas miembros de la Liga para retener el dominio de las suyas.
El jete de la policía Enright, invito también al señor Barreras para que asista al banquete que se celebrara el jueves tres de mayo, con motivo de la convención de policía, proxima a celebrarse.
Americanos Sintéticos
El senador Royal S. Copeland desea que se estableciera por ley que todos los extranjeros residentes en este país fueran compelidos, al final de una residencia de cinco años; a adquirir la ciudadanía americana. De otro modo, propone el nuevo senador, por Nueva York, que se le devuelva al país que admira más. Hay una confusión de ideas: expresadas en esta actitud, una ingenuidad que parece un poco incongruente de parte de un senador de los Estados Unidos. El Dr. Copeland toma un punto de vista algo descarnado te la significación del juramento de naturalización. Afrima que la admisión debe ser ser.
En un corto transcurso de tiempo los poderes coloniales llegaran a la conclusión de que el Negro, ya sca este africano, antillano, norte, centro a suramericano, no será por siempre un ser de segunda clase; realizaran que no podran destruir la ambición del Negro por su emancipación industrial y política, lo cual tiene la posibilidad que tuvo Jorge Washington al emancipar su pals, constituyendo en una gran república y la que tuvieron los revolucionarios rusos al destruir la influencia y poder del Cear, para hacer de su pals una democracia social, la primera de su clase en la civilización contemporanea.
guida por os que amor reveren que es
ofo la base suficiente para una cincera
transferencia de nacionalidad y
por ello ella convicto de razonar
defectosamente. Es muv posible
que un individuo-pueda admirar de
un medio aboluto a los Estados
Unidos, amús que al país de su
nacimiento, y sin embargo amar a
su país natal más. Ni ha de ser tal
persona, por necesidad un cuidadano
indescabe porque se rehue a declarar
un sentimiento que no ali-
menta; sino más bien lo contrario;
Debe haber numerosos norteamericanos que sientan muy vivamente que la opinión expresada por el doctor Copeland en este asunto es opuesta a la verdad. Hemos adquirido en el pasado muchos milares de americanos sintéticos que prestaron el juramento de naturalización por razones comerciales, de personal popularidad o por alguna otra causa que parecía oportuna; y cqn no otro sentimiento más profundo en el asunto que este. La conveniencia de aumentar ese número está abierta a graves dudas, por lo menos.
La transferencia de una nacionalidad heredada es un proceso espiritual, o tiene la más mínima transcendencia. No es, afortunadamente, posible anenazar a un hombre para que de un pasan tan grave; pero pedro asustarsele hasta hacerle que lo simulara. En cuanto se trata de la necesidad existence de alterar las leyes de naturalización, ella está en el sentido de requerir del extranjero una compresión más profunda de la verdadera significación de su juramento, más bien que en adoptar una legislación compulsoria que diga de hecho: Hazte un ciudadano americano, o vete. Por el procedimiento del senador Copeland se pida a aumentar el número de extranjeros ciudadanizados en las listas de visitantes, pero todo lo logrado terminaria alli; y para la mayoría eso no merece ser una gran cosa que lograr.
El Gobierno Federal Perse guirá Criminalmente a los Especuladores de Azucar
Las medidas tomadas por el gobierno para reprimir la especulación del azúcar no significa tan solo la reducción de algunos centavos en el precio del articulo sino que el gobierno tiene el derecho de ejercer su acción benefactora siempre que se presente la necesidad de reprimir especulaciones ilícitas.
La medida es entomida por los empleados del gobierno. El gobierno considera que los alíntimos, el combustible y el transporte son necesidades absolutas y que todo lo que tienda a la especulación en ceterro constituye una amenaza pública que es necesario reprimir energicamente.
Durante el gobierno de Wilson, la restricción se emplea contra los emprasarios de carbón y los mineros, el verano ultimo la emplea el procurador general Danghiery contra los ferroviarios en huegel, ahora el presidente Harding pide ante los tribunales que prohibir la ocupación ilegita a los traficantes en avicar y café, o sea las especulaciones de bolsa a ese respecto.
El Reconocimiento de Méjico Despierta Interés en la Conferencia Panamericana
Informes dirigidos contra los Estados Unidos. se ejercen al requise la comisión política de la conferencia internacional americana reunida en Santiago de Chile, para oir una informe del subcomité que ha estado tratando de llegar a una transacción sobre la proposición de Costa Rica de que cualquiera republica americana tenga su representante en la junta directiva de la Union Panamericana sin necesidad del reconozimiento de su gobierno por los Estados Unidos.
Costa Rica y Cuba presiden el bloque de naciones del Caribe que apoyan en todo sus términos la propósición de Costa Rica. Estas dos naciones presentan el informe de la minoria. El informe de la mayoría lo presentan los Estados Unidos, Brasil y Chile. El denominado bloque del Caribe tiene toda la simpatia de la república Argentina. En la conferencia han despertado mucho interés las noticias venidas de Washington de que hay probabilidades de que Méjico sea pronto reconocido por los Estados Unidos.
Méjico no pudo asistir a la conferencia porque su gobierno no fue reconocido por los Estados Unidos Esto ha causado muchos comentarios entre los delegados de las naciones hispanoamericanas y se cree que haya dado lugar a una reacción desfavorable para los Estados Unidos en la actual conferencia.
Los delegados de once países hispanoamericanos han convenido en una transacción sobre la proposición de Costa Rica, a efecto de que se diga que cualquier estado cuyo gobierno no sea reconocido por los Estados Unidos puede nombrar un ciudadano que lo represente en la junta directiva.
El explorador británico Mitchell Hedges que proclamó hace poco que habia descubierto una nueva raza, ha abierto al público una especie de museo compuesto de todos los hallazgos interesantes realizados por el durante su permanencia entre los indios de San Blas en la república de Panamá.
Entre ellos figura el craneo de un niño de aspecto rarísimo y que según opinion de Mr. Hedges fue contemporáneo del rey Tut-ankh-Amen.
La Prohibición Rechazada Por Gran Bretaña
Los partidarios de la prohibición de la Gran Bretaina no están descorazonados por la última derrota que se les ha inferido y aseguran que continuarán su labor hasta tanto no logren suprimir el alcohol por una disposición constitucional. Por una votación de 236 contra 14, se rechazó en la camara de los comunes la ley de la prohibición.
El Comerclo Entre Este
Pais y Cuba
El comercio y el turismo, por ambas vias de la costa del este y oeste, han tomado tal incremento en estos ultimos días que la Southern Railway se ha visto precisada a abrir una agencia en la Habana, con el objeto de extender su servicio para comodidad de los pasajeros y exportadores.

"THE SLUGGARD"
There are fewer greater annoyances that can happen to a man who is trying to make his life count in this great cause of the New Negro, especially at this time in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the great race re-adjustment plan, than to meet with sluggards in his path.
And sluggards in these times seem to be getting more numerous every day. They are to be found in many places, in many walks of life, and all sorts of disgusts, but their curse is one and the same. And that is to try and keep us from moving on to better things.
There are those skeptics who discourage us from new achievements, those croakers who stand on the threshold of untreated ways and bid us turn back for fear of failure. There those paralyses who fawn upon our favor by fattery, and those who under cloak of friendship cap our sympathies, and steal out, energies for worthless ends. There are those who, whenever we meet them, cloud the sky for us with their pessimisms, and their railings against fate, and yet another class who are forever detracting from men's deeds and magnifying their sins.
But, my friends, for your encouragement, let me say that life is a masquerade, in which even our blessings come in disguise, therefore let me note of the above-mentioned stand in your way—remembering that the 'real trouble with many who think that they have a hard road to hoe—is that they don't like to hoe, therefore every mole-hill looks such like a mountain of insurmountable proportions." Then I say to you take fresh courage, believe not these parasitical misfits of creation, but look upon all as enemies until they prove themselves friends. For your-grip on success in this cause depends largely upon the other things that you are willing to let go of, again let me draw your attention to this fact, that to keep to your orbit, and not fly off at some faint tangent because such may tempt you is not an easy task, but calls for courage and true determination at all times.
For the faithhearted are ever by our side, to dissuade us from pressing on, and the unit, who have failed in
life through their own lack of will and purpose, are ever smiling at our heels to retard our progress. It may seem a heartless thing to do, but to my mind it is justifiable to make every singled out you meet, in this great work an enemy at once, for truly no good can come of associating with them, and if this is made manifest already they will trouble you no longer; on the other hand if you continue to tolerate them they will continue to impose more and more upon you; your time, your money, apart from that, they will cause you confusion and dissatisfaction. If you are accusing to succeed in it is inevitable that you will make enemies, for the great work you have had enmeshed, weep what was held in the ledge, so to compass matters but who continue to laugh and late from the race.
The army one French in relation to be the enemy, the French and every other enemy and the man who can oppose them to being able to all combat is never any more popular, which is much never been greatest, for today in this important exhibition the world is full of the hard space leading, accommodations,卫生间, campuses, and goods, so taller than it has ever been before. And why? Because in these stressful times, the race to knowing to be the best for himself and the battle to overcome for others, this place the Nation get the day needs defiantly strength backed by unity of purpose in the preparation of our plans to be at the table at all hence we have no fear.
PERCIVAL L. BURROWS.
SUNNY AFRICA
Herbert Jullan, 86, a Negro "baredevil" aviator, started something at 5:45 o'clock Sunday evening when he jumped with a parachute from an airplane 2,000 feet above the College of the City of New York, 189th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, to the roof of a three-story tenement, No. 301 West 140th Street. In the scramble by about 6,000 persons to reach the scene, damage estimated at several thousand dollars was suffered by neighboring buildings, and motor traffic became so congested it was more than an hour before the police straightened it out.
Amsterdam Avenue was thronged with promoters at 5:30 o'clock when three airplanes began circling the college. As the spectators craned their necks two powder bombs were exploded from one of the machines. Then the watchers saw a streak of red hurtle down and unnatural panchuto and sloppy drift with the wind. Julian had planned to land in a lot in 144th Street near Seventh Avenue, but the wind forced him to the teme meist roof. His landing was the signal for a concerted rush by the spectators, some of whom were thrown through the show window of the International Tailor Shop. No.201 West 140th Street. Then the iron rolling around the College Station Postoffice at No. 205 was torn from its stanchio. The next thing to go was the showcase in front of Jacobson's Department Store on the corner.
Patrolman George Braveman and two rookie policemen of the West 135th Street Station arrived while the crowd was battling to enter the tenement. They reached the hallway just as Julian emerged, in aviator's costume of Fanning red, and received a bouquet. Braveman handed Julian a summons charging violation of the Sabbath Law and causing a crowd to collect.
