The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Bam Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solly to the Interests of the Negro Race EXPOSING THE GAME OF RACE DESTRUCTION AMONG FALSE LEADERS VOL. XV. No. 20 News has reached us that W. E. B. Du Bois, after his escapades in Europe, has reached Africa, and is now in Liberia. This man took upon himself recently the holding of a Pan-African Congress in England, which was attended by less than a dozen persons, and now he is, no doubt, gone to Africa to make trouble there, even as he has so often done in the United States of America. Du Bois is a mischievous Negro. He has no love for his Negro blood, yet we find him from time to time playing such subtle games as to lead one to believe that he really cares about his race. But let-us analyze the man just through his recent acts and utterances, and we will find that he is as much a Negro hater as any alien to the race could be. Black as Ugly In recent writings Du Bois refers to black as ugly. Previously he boasted of his Dutch and French blood, yet for convenience or for whatever purpose he is serving we find him talking about Pan-Africa, as if Pan-Africa means Dutch and French. Lost Nothing in Africa Crowd Not two years ago he supported the fallacious statement of some western Negroes "that they had lost nothing in Africa," by saying that Africa was too hot, and that American Negroes did not want to go there. But now, that differently to him, and pay absolutely no attention to him and his "Africa too hot" theory, he is endeavoring to attract attention by declaring for the emancipation of Africa through his Pan-African program, the thing that he denounced and damned not many years ago. Now, who is Du Bois fooling? Does he think that he is dealing absolutely with that group of lackeys who believe him to be the embodiment of all intellect, or does he not know that there are men of other schools who think nothing of his boasted intellectuality, and who see nothing in him but a conceited pedant whose originality is not worth the comparison with that of a modern schoolboy? Du Bois may fool his type of intellectuals, but in the new school of thought he has to meet men who do not prate from books and chatter like the parrot, but whose native intelligence is more than a match for the classroom bunk of thirty years ago. Du Bois has to satisfy modern Negro intelligence, and when he is thus confronted he is revealed either as a race hater, hypocrite, time-server, or rank teacher of miscegenation, using every effort to destroy his race by absorption into that of another. Playing the Game Du Bois is playing the game upon the black man of today that the white world played upon all Negroes for the last one hundred years; but he, being only a copyist and pedant, is counting without his host. It is not so easy to fool Negroes today; hence, Du Bois will have to go a far way toward his Pan-African declaration to trap all Negroes. Middle Class Position The middle class position between white and Negro that Du Bois is immediately working for will never be realized, thanks to the broad-mindedness of the American white man, and especially the Southerner, in dealing with the race question as among Negroes. For to him a Negro is a Negro, whether he be a white one or a black one. Du Bois is trying through his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to say, but skillfully behind doors, that the white Negroes are better than the darker ones, thus endeavoring to lend a new phase to the race problem. Du Bois has been found out, and he is now trying to make good by deceit, through his Pan-African program, but let him remember that the African sentinel is ever on duty; hence, it is hard "to pass." The man who claims that black is ugly is gone to Liberia to mix with the black officials of a black government. How inconsistent! Has he forgotten his "pink tea parties" among the whites; his much-advertised dance at the white hotel, his Dutch-French NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 THE GAME OF TION AMONG F DU BOIS, "WHO LOST NOTHING IN AFRICA," GONE THERE BETTER UNDERSTANDING MEANS PILFERING THE WHITE MAN'S POCKET AND ABSORBING THE ABSORBABLE OF THE NEGRO RACE FOOL ME,FOOL MY SON AN IMPOSSIBILITY PAN-AFRICAN AND PAN-FRYING THE SAME UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DU BOIS origin, and why is it he is always in Europe alone around the gay capitals? Negro Africa Not Dumb and Blind Negro Africa is not so dumb nor blind as to allow a scholar of thirty years ago to "put it all over them" today. "Fool me, fool my son," and that is not such an easy job. The publication about the Pan-African Congress being a success is all bunk, and all those who aid and abet in scattering the misinformation are equally guilty with the author of the news in deceiving Negroes of America. The so-called congress was a failure, and any statement to the contrary is false and wicked. Nobody ever elected Du Bois or any of the seven or eight persons who took part in it to represent them. Du Bois had no more right or authority to have called a Pan-African Congress than a cat had to call together a parliament of rats. He was in search of cheap notoriety and he got very little of it. Hates Black Blood There is one thing that we believe, and that is that Du Bois hates his black blood, and would do anything to get rid of it. In the December issue of his Crisis he said he had got rid of "the worst phase of Garveyism." What that means no one can tell, for Garveyism is as strong as it ever was, and is showing up the Professor, even as he always was, as a rank Negro hater, notwithstanding all the bunk he writes in the Crisis to the contrary. The devil is a good advocate of the Scriptures when it suits him, to win his converts that way; hence, we will expect anything of Du Bois and his statement of his affection for black folks. Race Destruction Policy The group of fellows identified with the race destruction program have worked cleverly for some time, but not unobserved. Those of us who have been watching have come to our own conclusions, among them being the determination not to allow even the legions of hell to divide and rule any longer the Negro race. No Buffer Class There is not going to be any buffer class between Negroes and whites, but there is going to be one united race, firm and undivided, notwithstanding the skillful designs of Du Bois, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Pan-African crowd. The group working for the destruction of the race becomes so unguarded at times as to give away themselves, such as Du Bois saying that "black is ugly" and Logan, the near-white representative of Du Bois in Portugal, saying to the "O Brado Africano" in an interview that the "Pan-African Congress is not like the Garvey movement, that seeks Africa for the Africans, but only seeks for a better understanding with the whites." Logan Du Bois's Agent in Europe In the above statement Logan is giving away the Du Bois, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Pan-African program. If they can only get a better understanding with the whites, then the Negroes can go to h----. These fellows are trying to play the British Colonial game, and if they can get away with it, then their mother's blood can drown in the nearest river. "To fool and not to be fooled" is the question, and the fifteen million Negroes of America and the millions of the West Indies and of Africa will answer. "Negroes, keep your eyes on Du Bois, and keep your hands off his Pan-African Congress, otherwise you may find yourselves Pan-frying one of these days. A Decided Stand The time has really come for a decided stand to be taken on this internal race question. The question is no no longer one between the white man and the Negro, but gradually it is becoming one between Negroes themselves. The attitude of the white race is well defined. We know that it has resolved itself into the question of white supremacy and black inferiority; that each race will struggle for itself, for its own progress and its own development. There can be no mistake; hence, the Negro peoples will not expect more than what is reasonable from their white fellow citizens, and in like manner the whites will not expect more than what is reasonable from the Negro. But the internal differences within our race have reached the point where we are becoming weaker rather than stronger, because we are rearing in our midst the element of prejudice which does not help in fostering that solidarity that is so much needed: The subtle propaganda of the lighter Negroes in Africa, the West Indies and America to undermine the darker ones, as the whites did undermine all of us for their own advantage, is becoming so alarming as to call for an immediate solution. That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association takes a decided stand at this time against the subtle movements of Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They represent the crowd that is making an effort to undermine the effort to present to the world a united African or Negro race. They claim that there is no need for a separate and distinct Negro civilization, but that our program should be that of better understanding between the whites. What Better Understanding Means From contact and experience we all know that a better understanding with a stronger race by a weaker race means the absorption of that weaker into the stronger; so, unwittingly, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and their agents have given away their idea or purpose, which is not to advance thoroughly or completely the program of Negro independence, or Africa for the Africans, but to subordinate the racial integrity or manhood of the Negro race to that of a better understanding among the whites. In other words, they simply mean that if the whites absorb them and give them a preference they are satisfied to rest the race issue. This is a damnable and dangerous policy to pursue; hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, without any reserve, strikes out in mad fury against this subtle effort to undermine the mother blood of the race. Preaching Deception Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People may preach as much as they like, they may talk about a million Dyer Anti-Lynching bills, and the Segregation and Jim-Crow bogies; they will never be able to convince us any longer that they are in earnest about this Negro question. If the whites of America tomorrow and of Europe would say to the element that they represent that we are satisfied with your advocacy of absorption to the exclusion of the other element of your race that cannot be absorbed, these fellows would throw up their hands as being the great fighters that they are for race rights, and we would find them as hostile and unsympathetic as the most rabid Southerner, so that we are calling now for a showdown. They must either come clean and play the game fair, or get out and stand or fall by their own misguided idea of miscegenation. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be P. S. Now, that the old year is at a close, I am asking that all Divisions, Branches and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association become financial with the Parent Body.

NOW OR NEVER NEGROES MUST BOLDLY FACE THE FACTS 'DEBT-COLLEGTING' IN MISSISSIPPI TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF LIVES NEGRO FARMHAND KILLS THREE, WOUNDS NINE AND IS KILLED AFTER EXCITING BATTLE Much trouble seems to be brewing in certain parts of the South over the newly-found dislocation on the part of Negro farm hands to pay the "debt" they owe their white "loeses." One debt-collecting expedition recently undertaken at Drew, Miss., has the whole countryside, in a state of ominous anger," according to a Mississippi newspaper. It proved exceedingly expensive and tangle, the upshot being that three white men were killed outright, nine wounded (two believed fatal), and one Negro, the "debtor," killed. Ridiculous with machine gun bullets, the Negro, Doe Bulleo, 40, a farm land, "died in the main street of Drew, where he had been dragged by an angry angel, while hundreds gazed in mute anger at the death strangles that were cheating them of a large revenge vengeance." The story goes that the trouble started when W. T. Sanders, 45, white farmer, tried to collen $30 debt he claimed the Negro owed. According to one of these bounded men, Sanders, accompanied by J. D. Manning, another Sunflower county farmer, approached the cabin occupied by Pullen, on the Sanders plantation to collect a crop debt. Hands in Pockets! Sallen and defiant, the Negro steel before them, his hands in his pockets. Sanders requested, him to remove his hands, and the Negro instantly whipped out a 32 caliber automatic and shot Sanders through the heart. The Negro ran into his shack and out the back door, while Mainning bent over his dead companion. Going to the home of his mother, the Negro procured another pistol and a shotgun, with a huge supply of ammunition, and escaped into a near-by swamp. In an hour a power of more than 100 men had formed and a sweeping search for the Negro was made. While a sound of four pence went standing on the levee of Powell's bayonet, the Negro imitation, the Negro in a ditch less than twenty feet away, received with his shotgun. The top of Methyn's head was worn away by the first shot and he died immediately. Stringfellow, Hammond and Hussell wounded as the fugitive swung his arm with deadly pin, and then scrambled up the battle of the drainage ditch and escaped. With the Nextric approximate portage located reinforcements were brought up. The latter worked to re-arrive to the Max Karban plant, until another squad walked into directly and saw. This time O. O. H. died instantly with a period of through his head. Mohsen was shot twice, once with a sootgun, and once with a traction, and is expected to do. Blackwood, wearing a heavy sheath, lined up attributes his life to his enemies to the Negro and his heavy coat. He was the full charge of black-sided post-traumatized at him, had not gathered sufficient velocity to penetrate the gold with force sufficient to kill. A reinforcement, porse headed by Snoop Niff, North Carriage, of Clarkside including 'Bird' Duggett, T.B. Birdson and Walter Bears, armed with a machine gun they had brought from the Clacham county capital, brought the Negro down. Duggett got a bullet below the heart and is probably fatally wounded. At midnight after the deadly aim of the Negro had brought down 11 men a machine gun brought from Clarkside poured his lead a half into the drainage ditch and that turn into helpers nearby. After four hundred bullets had been poured into the Negro stronghold, Snoop Carriage led his men into the ditch. They found the Negro unable to move, his body pierced by twenty bullets. His perisols and shurgety lay empty at his side. Bullet was pierced in the Negro journal ground at Dress. His body was placed in a coffin and converged silently to the secretary by officials.

New York Will Not Withdraw Hands at Command of Delegation GHANDI PARTY REFUSE TO TAKE OFFICE UNLESS HE IS RELEASED CALCUTTA, British India, Dec. 17 (Associated Press) — C. R. Daw, leader of the Swaraj (Home Rule) Party, which won the recent election, in the Province of Bengal, has written to Earl Lytton, the Governor, declining his invitation to form a Government, it was announced today. Mr. Daw in his letter explained that the Swaraj Party was pledged to put an end to the Dharasar which governs India, an object they would be unable to accomplish if they accepted office. Mr. Daw, chief Bouteout of Gandhi, the non-co-operationist leader, is one of the most prominent advocates of Indian independence, but advocates a policy of non-violence. It is understood that the Swartz Party decided at a meeting held Sunday not to accept office unless several conditions were complied with. These conditions were that political prisoners he released, repressive laws he withdrawn, provincial autonomy be granted and the national demand in home rule accepted. It was decided that the Ministers should refuse to accept salaries and that the party would reject the budget if its demands were not granted. Spain Modifies Autocracy PORT VENIDES, F. — Spanish Frontier, Dec. 22 (Associated Press) Publication today in the Official Gazette of the degree modifying the character of the military directive was taken in political circles as the first step toward reintroduction of a civilian Government in Spain. A corps of civilian advisers, or Under Secretaries of State, is formed to administer the various Government departments, but by the terms of the degree the Directorate as supervising body will have the final word to say regarding any one taken by these Under Secretaries. Although the promise of the degree affirms that the existing state of things has the approval of the entire body and the support of the whole power, many quarters, both political and administrative, are inclined to doubt the exigence of such a statement. Some elements in the army are understood to qualify considerably their support of General Prime Minister's direction, which they consider do not represent the opinion of the army itself, while the Army political groups, whether Conservative or Liberal, regard this present condition as unproducible. DEFENCELESS NEGR EXIST, SHOT DO "Negre, Don't Let the Sun Go D ten Law of Oklahoma Town to Do Face to Face With The Universal Negro In DEFENCELESS NEGRO, WHO DARES TO EXIST, SHOT DOWN BY WHITE MOB Furnishes the Answer MARLOW, OSA. Dec. 18—Marrow unwritten law, exemplified by prominent public signs bearing the command: "Negroes don't let the sun go down on you here" caused the death last night of A. W. Birch, prominent hotel owner, and of Eugent Jergman, the first Negro in years to stay here more than a day. They were victims of an unmasked mob of more than fifteen men who went to the hotel where the Negro had been employed three days ago as a porter and shot them down when Birch attempted to persuade them to desist from their threat to lynch the Negro. Negrophobia at a Climax The New York-Evening Mail. December 21, under the caption "Negrophobia at a Climax," comments as follows in a leading article: "Recularly virulent is the race hatred and lynching spirit revealed in the cruel double murder reported in dispatches from Barlow, Ohio. The Negro victim was apparently indifferent, save in daring to exist, and the white man committed no crime but that of begging for the other's life. "But Bailow, it appears, has a law of its own, which is posted about the place in public signs and which reads: "Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here." So, when a colored man got a job as porter at a hotel and ventured to hold it a day, or two a mob of more than fifteen brave men, armed with pistols west around to Lynch him. "A. B. Birch, proprietor of the hotel, went to meet the mob and interceded for his employee. He was shot dead before he could speak." Then the colored porter was shot.

"But there is a greater France. To obtain an exact idea of the place which France occupies on this planet, an effort must be made to see as one that all the territories which are French. With the old France these territories form what our twohears called—and the word for them had not the sinister connotation which has since been given it—the French Empire. "The back of complete geodetic data makes it difficult to state the exact size of the French Empire. It may be said, however, that it covers between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 square kilometers, that is to say, a greater area than that of the United States. France, the historical cradle of the French Empire, does not constitute a twentieth part of this whole." "Of course, all these vast territories are not of equal value. Some contain deserts or great semi-arid plains, as for instance, the Sahara, which is thrust in between Algeria and French West Africa." There are equatorial lands where forests and thick, undergrowths offer even greater obstacles to the free movement of men than the dunes and stony plateaus of the deserts. But aside from the privileged lands of France in Europe, . . . Greater France also includes Berber Africa, where in the past have flourished the brilliant civilization of Carthage, Rome and Arabia. And it includes the Indo-Chinese delta, a land admirably suited to the task of sustaining great masses of human beings and in which the cultural movements of China and India have met. "No longer are all the great French cities in France. To the fifteenth cities of France proper which have ever 100,000 inhabitants there must now be added Algiers, Oman, Tunis, Marrakech, Casablanca, Hand and the Chinese suburbs of Saigon. "There would be small error in adding to the 10,000,000 French of Europe over 100,000,000 other people who live under the French florid but not down then that Greater France consists of 100,000,000 square kilometers of territory and contours about 100,000,000 inhabitants.

Yet Oklahoma is in the United States, which has had its Constitution since 1854 in provision that no state shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens; nor shall any State abridge any person of life, liberty or property without the process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law; can it be that Oklahoma is in the Union, but not of it? "But, putting the law out of the question, think of such reckless cruelty being practiced a week from Christmas in 1933. And what must be the reflex effect of such ideals on the civilization of any community? "Can the United States take no action to protect its people and its Constitution?" This is all the New York Evening Journal, of December 20, had to say "Our Race Problem. It's Big Enough." Then it continued: "Morrow, Okla, according to Associated Press dispatches, keeps standing the sign: 'Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here.'" "H. W. Eurch hired a Negro as porter and kept him for three days. A mob killed him and then shot down the Negro. "If we have this kind of a race problem in America because of Negroes brought here by white men and against the Negro's will in the days of slavery, we should take care to prevent the creation of worse race troubles by enforcing the laws against Asiatic immigration." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 KENTUCKY WOMEN SEEK GOOD, WILL BETWEEN WHITE AND COLORED Showing the South How to Attain to Christian Civilization Standard LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 12.—Thirty Kentucky women, leaders in their respective religious and civile groups, met here last week in connection with the State Interracial Conference, organized as the woman's section of the Interracial Commission, and issued a vigorous statement in the interest of justice and good will between the white and colored, races. The organization meetings were presided over by Mrs. Heim, Bruge, of Louisville, and the permanent officers chosen were Mrs. Charles Simple, chairman; Mrs. R. K. Mussie, vice-chairman; Mrs. Nannie Hite Winston, secretary. The statement issued congratulates Kentucky on its recent freedom from lynchings; condemns the injection of race prejudice into political campaigns; demands a single standard of morals that will protect the integrity of both races, and declares for the protection of life and property of all alike, and for fair division of school advantages and other public facilities. It was recommended that in every community an interracial group of women be formed for mutual understanding and cooperation, particularly in matters affecting the welfare of women and children. Following are some of the more striking paragraphs: "We declare our belief in the righteousness of a single standard of social morality for both sexes and both races. We plead for the protection of the purity of all womanhood and urge that the integrity of the Negro home shall be held inviolate by the men of both races. "We hold that no circumstances can justify the disregard of civil law and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence. We deploy the fact that such deeds have to stigmatized our people that in non-Christian countries our Christian civilization is disregarded. Truly thankful for our Kentucky law against lynching and the fact that it has been upheld, we pledge ourselves to support our officials in every effort to enforce this law. "We believe it to be our imperative duty to outlive in both races, especially among the young people at home and in school, such attitudes of good will and mutual helpfulness that bitterness, recruitment and strife shall yield to a whole one truth in our common humanity." Similar groups of women have been organized in nearly all the Southern states for cooperation with state inter-racial committees and with the various denominations, and cross bodies in the interest of better race adjustments. 135th St. Library Notes Friday, Tuesday, December 17, 18:30 p.m. At the North Harlem community forum on Thursday next, Jamie C.

ENGLAND'S GROWING COTTON PROBLEM Experiments in West Indies, Africa, India and Australia and the Results So Far Ascertained TROPICAL AFRICAN CROP American cotton, the fiber or staple of which is from an inch to an inch and one-eighth in length, provides the enormous bulk of the supply for Lancashire, the mills of which are constructed to deal with cotton of this length and cannot at a moment's notice be altered to suit any other kind. Nor is there any other kind available in sufficient quantity, to say nothing of the fact that the demand is for goods of the present quality, which could not be equalled by spinning a cotton of shorter staple. The confusion of the exchanges, the diminished purchasing power of continental nations and the smaller demand from India have all contributed to lower the demand for Lancashire fabrics, but can scarcely go much further in that direction, and the consumption in America is increasing. Any rise in the Old World demand would cause the shortage to be felt even more acutely than it is, and even at present it is a very serious matter, which is reflected in the very high price at which cotton stands. American middling, the standard of the market, is now (November 8) at 18,254, a pound, against an average of 6,464, in 1914. In these circumstances the increased production of cotton of staple approximately equal to pidding American and elsewhere than in the United States, has become an urg need, if the greatest, manufacturing industry of Great Britain—upon which it is estimated that in 100,000 persons are dependent not to fall upon very evil days, which may mean widespread unemployment and distress. Among the most obvious countries in which to set to work to remedy the matter are those concerned within the British Empire. Our thoughts turn naturally and first of all to India, as the second larger producer of cotton in the world. At present, however, that country counts for little so far as Lancashire is concerned, though producing every year 4,500,000 to 5,000,000 bales. Only 213,000 were sent to Great Britain in the year ended July 31 last, and only 102,000 were consumed. The bulk of the cotton, which is mostly of short staple and poor quality, is used in Indian mills or exported to Japan and to a less degree to the continent of Europe. The locally made cloth, though somewhat coarse in texture, is of excellent wearing quality, and satisfies at a moderate cost a great part of the local demand. As there seems to be small chance of growing in India within a short time large quantities of the longer stapled cotton which Lancashire needs, attention must be directed to Africa and Australia. The Asiatic positions of the emperor cursive India are in general too wet for the successful cultivation of cotton upon a large scale, while the West India have already dried much of these small available area, to the production of sea island cotton, which has the longest and finest fiber of all. The market for this cotton is but a small one, and the few thousand bales which are exported from the West India, simply possess all of its requirements. By for the first product in Africa and one of the most important in the world on account of the fine quality and long sample of its contents, Europe recent political change, we have excluded this country from the empire, and it remains to be seen whether the effect of these may not be to make even worse the present difficult situation in cotton be invading a falling off in production or a deterioration of the quality or length of sample. In the rest of Africa the collection of cotton for export to sell comparatively new, and that it exists up to the work of the British Cotton growing association. Cotton growing is now becoming of serious importance in the Sudan, in Uganda and in Nigeria, while South Africa, Tanzania and other factors are making a good start. In all of them the export is increasing, and in *Gambia* it now reaches the respectable degree of about 90,000 bales annually (Lanashore now uses about 3,000,000 bales of American cotton). The important fact is that the corge has been turned, and many people know that tecon can be cultivated at a profit in these regions, so that others will probably follow their example and the export will increase. After having cultivated cotton for some years people will be less likely to abandon it in the event of an unpropitious year and the cultivation will be much more likely to be permanent. White in tropical Africa the crop is mainly in the hands of the natives of the country, there appears to be a good prospect that portions of South Africa may offer good prospects and valuable conditions for cultivation by people of European descent. Finally, we most consider Australia, where the cultivation of cotton is carried on by white men. Queensland and New South Wales are proving to be excellently well suited to the crop, and the principal thing that remains to be seen is whether the policy of a "white Australia" will allow of enough labor for important extension. If this extension can take place Australia should become a factor of serious importance upon the cotton markets. Specialties have been appointed to report on prospects and conditions in South Africa and elsewhere, and some of the African colonies are being helped by grants made to their agricultural departments for the express purpose of work upon cotton unde. the supervision of specialists appointed by the Empire Cotton Growing Corporation. Research is under way in St. Vincent, grants in old are being made. De Omnibus Rebus BY LeVAN 1923 is dead. It has gone the way of all the years. Never again will it return. Never again can it return. Never-ending time goes on forward—forever forward. Time knows no resurrection day. 1923 is gone. It carried with it broken promises, heartaches, blasted hopes, sad days, misunderstandings, anxieties, neglected opportunities, lost confidence and loved ones, while many happy moments and joyous days went with it to its grave. Some will forever keep dear the memories of 1923. Others will try to forget. To some it meant much; to others—nothing. For some it was a blessing—to others it was a curse. For some it was heaven; to others it was hell. For some it was the beginning; for others it was the end. Of what took place in it some will have much to remember; others will have much to forget. 1924 is alive. The New Year has arrived, bringing only the new—new hopes, new beginnings, new ambitions, new joys, new sorrows, new hates, new loves, new suspicions, new confidences, new doubts, new faiths, new friends, new enemies, new anxieties, new disappointments, new responsibilities, new opportunities, new surprises, new fears, new longings, new successes, new failures, new crimes, new ideas, new discoveries, new songs, new books, new prayers, new woes, new disasters, new lives, new lives, all of which will be experienced by 'man. It brings new mountains to be climbed, new races to be run, new rivers to be spanned, new battles to be fought, in man's upward climb to God. The beginning of the year is an opportune time to think and question oneself. What became of last year's earnings? Some of it was spent for clothes, food, fuel, rent, but did you not spend much of it for things you could have easily done without? Has not much of it gone, you know not where? Could you not use now the money spent, for some useless amusement, wearing apparel, or things you did not need, to a greater advantage now if you had it? Had you started last year, could you not have easily saved two or three dollars per week? Would not the money be useful now? Make 1924 a year of thrift. You are not growing younger. You owe it to yourself and those dependent upon you to provide for the future. Misfortune may be lurking just around the corner. Opportunity may be just over the hill. Life will be happier if you are ever ready to meet either of these. The world pays much for brain; little for brawn. Those who will receive most out of 1924 are the ones who have trained their brain to think clearly and continuously, reason logically and pass judgment accurately. From THINK FROM YOUR NECK UP your neck down you are not worth much to the world. From your neck up you may be worth a fortune. For what you are able to do from your neck down the world pays on an average of a few dollars, a few shillings or a few francs a day. For what you are able to do from your neck up may be worth thousands. The President of the United States is worth $240 a day from his neck up. Put to work that part of him from his neck down, wheeling dirt, digging a ditch, carrying mortar or doing anything which requires 99. per cent, brawn and he will not be worth more than four or five dollars per day. The world can use brawn, but it is in urgent need of brain. The man who only works with what there is of him from his neck down will always be down. Physical labor isn't worth much and is poorly paid because the competition is great.

The higher up you go the more difficult it is to find men who can fill the job. Hence the man in the extraordinary job is in position to demand big pay because he is not easily replaced. He is paid thousands because he is able to earn many more thousands. He is worth big money, therefore he receives big money. 1921 will reward and lift from the mob those who enhance their value by training that part of themselves from their neck up. RABBIT JUMPING MEN The brain, which puts one ahead and makes a success of him, is the brain which is able to initiate, create and produce. To train yourself to take care of business other creative brains have produced will not put you any- other creative brains have where. The world is full of men who can run has jumped it. But rabbit-jumping men are something to be started but who themselves not wait for paths to be beaten but who beat mium. To follow takes but little, to lead tal been done carries the world nowhere, to create discover the new, build upon the old—this car where. The world is full of men who can run the rabbit, after some one else has jumped it. But rabbit-jumping men are few. Men who do not wait for something to be started but who themselsves start something. Men who do not wait for paths to be beaten but who beat their own paths, are at a premium. To follow takes but little, to lead takes all. To do again what has been done carries the world nowhere, to create the new, improve upon the old, discover the new, build upon the old—this carries on.

The speeches were then Neil MacGarry from T. T. A. Anderson and Heath P. L. Hampson. The speeches were put in motion prior to the speech, and the speech was delivered daily, until the session must be adjourned. Some of the speeches were delivered to the audience who appeared for the session at the press conference. Heath MacGarry was a sole speaker at the session, and important to the audience with his hostname the speaker. no doubt. When fully developed and trained, place him in the forefront of Negro artists who have graced the platform of America. Following is the text of the speeches: HON. T. W. ANDERSON'S ADDRESS Mr. Anderson, speaking on the subject, "Our Religion" made passing reference to the present controversy between the fundamentalists and the modernists and said he sometimes wondered whether the Christian religion was, like other religions destined to contribute its part and them press from the scene. Admitting to the Christmas Season, he said: "We are about to celebrate the Birth of Christ Christianity as said to be a peaceful religion. The greatest Christian nations in the world are Germany, England and the United States, and I know of no nations in the entire history of the world that have engaged in war as better as those so-called Christian nations. I am wondering if after all Christianity is the religion of peace it has been declared to be. As far as the black man is concerned, it is very peaceful. If he has learnt nothing else after having professed Christianity, he has learnt this one thing: 'Don't right anybody except yourselves.' The Hebrews' religion, their conception of God, was that He was all-powerful and He wanted them to be all-powerful as far as the world was concerned. They believed, that so firmly that the Scriptures are filled with incidents or statements that God himself assisted them in their battles. The Romans believed that their gods assisted them in battle. So did the Greeks. And the Mohammedan religion was successful because they believed God had a hand in it and that to the fighting was better than to the running. Learn to Fight The Non-men of the ex-expire to become was the Federal Neuro Improvement Federation is striving to make him, most likely to be paid to the new, where that God Aminsly, the God is to be believes in, that he pays to and disbelieves more in building. The "Chhat man" competition of God, as I�mded to it, is no healthy blue-to-red expense. He bale to me, in the white "back" God. The child, who God's life is and Him and us, and Iam the whole man to understand and His is a good of his, is a food of an even-emain God of the Man, but of him, but at the table, that he is in Longer life, still down. He can not be who is in the non God of the most. I cannot be more. The Longer life is of the people of our own life, and in the House of God is even in the face of a human. The Non-mealheives that the human competition of God is not in the� of a� of the Jowess. The whim is of the most that the finisher's one, in the end of the is seen in the face of a whim. And the block has been the so God in my very existence in himself. That is a thing that we have got to get away from. I do not believe in the white man's conception of God. I believe that God wants all races to be up and no races down. But God will not cause us up. God will not fight our battles for us as long as we are not capable of fighting them ourselves. As the President-General of this organization often says, God will not give us jobs, for He does not run an employment bureau. He will not do for us those things that we should do for ourselves. And at this time it seems to me the best way to us to celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ is for us to set about and get a proper conception of God and what our duty is to Him and what our duty is to ourselves. If we would do that, then His coming will not have been in vain. If you do not have a bit of heaven here, and worry you won't have any here. And if you, get all hell here, prepare for it hereafter, because you have prepared yourselves for nothing else but hell. If you got anything else you would not understand it, you would be disafflicted. So the thing to do is to get a little bit of it here and prepare yourselves for some more hereafter."

Box 34, Station L NEW YORK CITY "I am very pleased to be able at this time to extend to you the season's greetings. Each one of you, I know, is making preparations for Christmas. The subject which I shall speak on for a few minutes is 'The Star of Destiny'. From the time of creation, whether men realize it or not, up to the present time every individual born in the world was born under a star. At this particular season of the year we are making preparations for celebrating the one star that has come down the ages—the star that was most illustrious through the birth of the Redeemer of mankind. The star of destiny has followed every individual. Many of us do not take advantage of the opportunity afforded us to work out our exaltation on this material plane in the right way. Men and women have a will of their own, and this will can be used to their advantage and to the advantage of the rest of the world, or it can be used to the disadvantage of the individual and to the great disadvantage of the other members of the human family. Each one of us must remember that this star is not always for good, but it is left to the individual to understand the peculiar star that he is born under in order that he may be able to overcome the disadvantages at which he may be placed. A Striking Comparison "Christ knew that He was born under this particular star—the star of redeeming the human family. Tonight we commemorate the going out of the three wise men to look for this star of destiny, and at this time the star is the star of the Negro. The star of the redemption of Africa is being looked for by our wise men, like Melchol, Belthazzar and Casper, in the person of Sip Rebeht Poston, Lady Hendrail Vinton Davis and Attorney Milton Van Lowe (Lord applause). At this particular time, while the wise men nineteen hundred and twenty three years ago were holding through the sandy desert of Africa or some other part of the world, our wise men are plobbing the mighty deep perhaps, huddled in some corner of their cabins weathering a hurricane. Let us not forget that the star of destiny of the Negro peoples of the world is seen and that these men are being led to that star and it is for you at this time to mediate yourselves to the working out of the aims and objects of this glorious and colossal program. "The star of destiny of the Negro peoples was brought to our knowledge by no less a person than the redeemer of the Negro peoples of the world. The redeemment plan that Christ brought to us was the redeemment of the soul of the human family. The redeemment of the 100,000,000 Negroes of the world was first fostered and given to the world by our illustrious leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause). I do not like to speak about individuals in their presence but I believe it is hardly possible for any individual to speak on the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association without being in the man who founded it. Let us then remember that the Universal Negro Improvement Association's program calls for your compassion calls for the dedication of yourselves, calls for the redeemment of your possessions, necessary. It is for us to work our own situation. If you want for someone to work for you you will want the heart of God is blessed." MON. MARCUS GARVEY' SPEAKS. Hon. Marcus Garvey, police officer in the Maracus Church of Christianity, makes one point. Among all the religions in the world that have affected humanity, there is none that has affected us as the Christian religion. We the Western world know no other religion than that of Christianity, the religion of Christ. I think for the present the religion of Christ is as good as anything that we could have, and we now in a mood to advise anybody changing their religion. It is true that the religion of Christianity has been torn to pieces like all good things; it has been misrepresented like all good things, but surely we will not blame Christ for that. Surely we will not blame the Founder of this greater of all moral ethical truths. Nothing Wrong with the Christian Religion There is nothing wrong with the Christian religion, there is nothing wrong with Christ. So in whatsoever we say and whatsoever we do, let us not forget that the ideal stands for itself, and up to now in all the world there is no ideal that we can find more likely and above that of the ideal of the Christian religion is founded by the man Jesus the Christ, the Redeemer of the world. He came to us 100 old years ago because the world needed humanity or man needed salvation. The High God, the Creator of the Universe and of man was not disposed to tolerate the sun of the world any longer. The world had grounded in sin and iniquity and was displaced to God its Creation, and as He did once He was again about to destroy and wreck the world in disgust, and then out of His bosom came His Son, called Christ, who saved Himself to save man; to bring the world back to its original state—the state that God intended it to be in. A lofter purpose could never have been undertaken by the angels, by mas, or by any one else. Christ, therefore, stands out as man's greatest benefactor. If life is worth anything to you today; if you enjoy any happiness out of creation; if you feel satisfied that you were born into the world and made as you are, then you have to give the credit for the existence, that of you have to Christ, because outside of Him it would not have been possible for you to see the creation of this present day. His love was beyond that of any other human being; His love was past that of all the angels; His love was out, singularly by itself. Although God is love, yet the love of Christ was greater than the Father's at that hour, because the Father was determined then, because of disgust, to vipe the human race off the face of the globe—to destroy the entire world; but the love of Hinside through His Son was so great that we came in contact with the religion that now vouch-safes to save all mankind. The Controversy about Religion As I said before, it is true that religion, like all good things, is misrepresented. We have found the great leaders of the Church now fighting about this religion, some saying that the Mother of Jesus was not immature, not believing her virginity, and all other questions are brought about concerning this man Jesus. But we are not going to concern ourselves about that. It is man's duty and privilege to think his own way; but let us not get away from the ideal of Christ that brought Him to the world. It was the purpose of saving mankind, and I do not believe that His visit and His sacrifice was in vain. There are millions of people today who honestly and truthfully practice the religion of Christ, and I think that so long as that number of people live and continue in their practice that Christ will be satisfied that He gave His life on Calvary's cross. The tortures that Christ underwent; the troubles that confronted Him in His time, are the troubles that are confronted us today in the prosecution of these lofty ideals that are beneficial to humanity. Those of us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who make up our minds to serve humanity—serve our race, will experience a part if not the whole of the troubles that Christ underwent. It took patience; it took abundance of love to carry out the work and the mission of the Christ, and He went the whole way; He went the whole way from the eradication in Bethlehem to the cross on Calvary's mount; and in traveling that length He had no regret. At the last hour He was a happy as He was at the first hour when He came into the world. That is the spirit of service; that is the example He has set for those who desire to serve humanity, to serve the world. And let us not therefore in whatsoever that may happen to be wrong with Christianity at this heavy blame it on Christ and deny Him because of that. Not because money-changers have entered the tavernahood of Christ should we condemn the Christian religion. The Greatest Consolation We are not in a position yet to ever question that part of the spiritual existence, because if we go back a couple of hundred years we will find that in all our trials and troubles there was nothing so consoling as this same thing that is under discussion. The only consolation that we had was the Christian religion, and until we assemble in our minds let us not mote anything against the religion of Christ. It took a long while before men started to change their notion about things. It is for some thing that you can just prematurely dispose of. Before you can deal with most problems, scientific or otherwise, you have to develop your intelligence to the application of these things, and I do not think our mind is so thoroughly developed in that respect, so that imminently that changing our belief meed and a Christ. By research in deep thought and concentration, the time may come when we will be in a position to take up the task but the most important that we our material conditions are the things that every man can arrange for Changed. The other Christ is to have the idea of a point where we can determine it is not good and it is not right. It has taken people that and years before they could reach a certain conclusion. Some people, for instance, once upon a time believed that the world was not round. It took a long while through study and research before they came to the conclusion that it was. So we cannot just overnight change the world world and change ideas and theories, and among the things that we should not change so quickly is on belief in God and on belief in Christ. It is a type that we have never seen, that it was true we have never seen. Christ but all the things that we believe one per thing that we have ever. We take certain things for granted. We have have our mothers and fathers when they tell us certain things at home. My mother used to tell me certain things, and I had just enough confidence in my mother to believe these things. My Father told me things and I believed him. They told me I had a great grandfather and his name was sound-so, and I believed them, although I never saw my great grandfather. And so about the Christian religion. We never saw Christ, but we believed that, long ago, down the ages that there was a Christ and He did certain things and performed certain things; and if He did those things then He was an exceptional being, and until we can satisfy ourselves by research or otherwise that it is all a myth I would not advise you to assume the responsibility of changing your religion, because it may be hurtful and harmful to you. Careful in Handling Religion Careful in Handling Religion So when it comes to religion, let us handle this thing very carefully. It is a delicate question, because man with his intelligence, with all, that he says, with all his philosophy is bound to come back to the question that there is somebody above him and that that somebody or something is spiritual; and until we can say positively that that something is the sun or that it is the light or some element, let us not deny the existence of a God; let us not deny the divinity of Christ. We have much more to do than to travel in that dangerous direction; because if there is a God and He is responsible for life and for creation and for the existence of all things, we would be taking a dangerous chance and running a great risk in denying Him, because He is likely to do a lot of things to us that we could not help ourselves with and, therefore, we are following in the belief of our fathers. They have come down the ages and the people from whom we have sprung, before they departed and brought us into this new life, told us that their only concolation was the belief in Christ and their belief in God. Let us not change it until we believe positively and truthfully otherwise, and we have not reached that point yet. Christ's Mission to the World Christ's mission to the world was the greatest mission ever undertaken. He came under peculiar circumstances. He would have come as God with full ability to change the world as He wanted; to rule men as He wanted, but He did not do that. He came in the physical as well as he was in the softer, he came for the purpose of setting an example of showing to man the possibility of being good of being righteous, of being just, of being charitable of being moreful. That is why he took on the human form. He wanted to point out and to prove to other human beings that it was possible to live the perfect life—the life without sin; the life of love, money and justice. That is why Christ did not live as God on earth. That is why from the Child in Hebrephis, stable to the cross he did everything like a human being. He suffered like a human being so as to touch us a lesson. It is not hard to be like Christ, yet it be hard. It is hard in the way that our fellowmen have made it difficult and impossible almost for us to live this perfect life. Nevertheless, if we can earn and one of us take on the true understanding of Christ's mission—if we can earn and every one take on the spirit of Christ—it would be easy for us to be true and good Christians. If we could exchange with each other the love that Christ had we would be happy; we would have absolutely no need for the suffering that there is in the world and we would be fit subjects for God's kingdom. Nevertheless, you say, how difficult it is in man's attitude to adopt the Christ spirit that he brought into the world 1000-years ago—the spirit of treating your brother as you would like to be created by him. That is the spirit of Christ and that is the teaching and lesson of Christ. Christ treated everybody alike, with kindness and consideration, because he wanted that for himself, but because in a world of sin at the time he came. Peace on Earth I have told the other that the time which is required of the time, the time on earth, good will meet with the proprition. I have hope that the other must send of the world will take up the spirit of the world at this proprition time.

The big fellows-the learned fellows said that Christ's doctrine was misleading and that He was an imposter and a fool. Those are the fellows we have today. That class of fellows have not yet left the world. The same class of fellows who condemned Christ 1900 years ago are still in the world today condemning all good spiritual moral, upright movements. The same fellows who condemned Christ condemned Martin Luther condemned the fathers of the church, condemned the Christian reformers, moral reformers, moral reformers, political reformers, industrial reformers. They have been condemned down the ages from the time of Christ by the privileged class of fellows who constituted themselves the rulers of the people and the directors of the affairs of state. I am glad that you members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are sensible enough to understand and know that that class of fellow represent nothing. From the time of Christ they have never represented anything but selfishness unto themselves. They will never represent anything but selfishness to themselves until Christ comes again. "We are the persecuted intellectual" as I suppose they call themselves; they constitute themselves the rulers of the people and they assume that what is so great is common from them, and if it does not come from them and their class it is wrong; it is ignorant; it is foolish.

All that is worthwhile, all that will contribute to the peace and happiness and goodwill of the entire human race is bound to come from the people, the common people. So let us not forget the purpose of the poor and the humble. Let us not forget the purpose of the common people. And I think we are in good company when we are called important and illiterate in that they call Christ ignorent and illiterate, and the people who followed Him the illiterate the common crowd. As Christ and Christianity have triumphed over the conceived intelligence of His deity will the Universal Negro Improvement Association triumph over the conceived intellectuity among Negroes in the twentieth century. Time will come when these so-called intellectual Negroes, these doctors of philosophy and doctors of law will swallow the vomit of the people. You will make them do it as Christ as His religion have made the popes, bishops and archbishops swallow a vogue they rejected. Hold Fast So let us stick on and hold for the principle of the Universal Peace Improvement Association. We bound to grump. With God's guidance, with God's blessing, with the leadership of Christ we are bound to grump.

He will help us through the greatest of all battles of America's rebellion, just of man is grateful, so much more than Christ is grateful. From the time he came into the world to the time he left the world the fellow and the people who were most considerate to him were the people and the fellow of us. When the world to which he were returned Him, rejected Him at worst.

BROMIDE DETROIT, MI. of our newspapers, Professor Miller says "the Anglo-Saxon is never logical," which is just as obscurant and mythical in the group singled out as would be the Nordic, it being impossible to identify either Anglo-Saxon or Nordic as a people, they having been absorbed with other races into the English speaking people, just as the race groups in America are being absorbed into one people. And the Englishman and American are always logical, in so far that whatever the cause from which they reason, the effect always centers in them and their interests as the "whole thing," and they will have it so if their reasoning be not protested until they are constrained to reverse it. Can they be constrained to do any such thing? They have been, they are being, not only in the United States and its dependencies but in Great Britain and its dependencies, and the end is just at the beginning wherever Negroes are oppressed and asserting their right to a square deal.

The attitude of the white race is the determining factor. This the Negro must strive to understand, to withstand as much as he can, and to stand the residue." Now, the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not stand for any such junk as this. The Negro World insists that where the interests of the two races meet there must he no determining factor except in the joint conclusions of the two. When the white man undertakes to determine the questions affecting the two without such joint action, he invites protest right there and war to the finish. We deny the right of the white man to think and act for us, without consulting us, and when he does it, and he is always doing it, it is our business, which we should nowhere neglect, to protest against it and fight against it, until justice be done. Every man should be a man, wherever he is, and a group of men, a race of men, thinking and acting as one man, will get what they should have, which belongs to them, of justice and equity, wherever they are, in the out come of the contention whatever the duration of the contention. HENRY FORD DUCKS THE PRESIDENCY HENRY FORD, the Detroit automobile manufacturer, who is said to have more cash money in hand and in bank than King Solomon's mines contained, according to the pleasing story of Sir Rider Haggard, who, like Oliver Shriver, we do not remember, ever said a harsh or ungenerous thing about the natives of Africa, whom they knew so intimately and well—well, Henry Ford has been put forward for some time as a candidate for the nomination to be President by people and factions who had axes to grind. His campaign appeared to be well under way, although what the color of his politics is, or what party he belongs to, has not been uncovered by any of those who have made the most fuss about nominating him. Politicians of all the parties have been trembling in their boots lest Mr. Ford run away with the nomination, but by which party they were uncertain. Mr. Ford has now come out with a clean cut declaration that he would not be the candidate of any party against President Calvin Coolidge, who, he says, is making a good President and should be continued in the Presidency. This declaration has also put the politicians in a frame of mind, especially the Republican politicians, who are after the nomination for themselves and not for Calvin Coolidge. President Coolidge has made himself very solid with the voters of the country by the brave and positive stand he took in his first message to Congress for tax reduction, no bonus, law enforcement, and no foreign entanglements, and Mr. Ford's endorsement has done a lot to strengthen the President with the thoughtful people of the country. THE WOMEN LYNCHED. THE WHITE LIBERTINE SOMETIMES the white Ebertine tempts the wrong black woman; not often, just sometimes. Somebody in Texas has sent us a copy of the Fayette County Record, which contains Judge Jeffrey's charge to the Grand Jury to investigate a recent lynching of a white man supposed to be one Schulenburg, a rich and respectable citizen. But the judge does not go into details as to names and time and place. He just insists that the lynching must be proved and the guilty parties brought to justice. The facts appear to be, as somebody somewhere in Texas writes, The Negro World, in sending a copy of the Record, that a rich white man in Fayette County had a way of forcing Negro girls to become his victims. He singled out one who, to escape him, made an appointment to meet him in a forest in the outskirts of the city. Saith the chronicler: "He did so alone. When he arrived there colored women met him and presented him with the tape and swing him up, leaving a note, saying, 'The title has turned. We stand for the moralization of colored womanhood. Beware, men of other races who prey upon our women.'" If the Negro women of Fayette County did lynch the white libertine for insulting one of their number, they have done more to protect their honor than any Negro man has done in Fayette County or the State of Texas. Down in Birmingham, Alabama, some twenty-four white men and Negro women have been mysteriously murdered or maimed, when caught together in the dark, and the police have been baffled in their efforts to catch the ax wielder, while the Negro newspapers of Birmingham are vehement in their disbelief that Negro, or Negroes, have been guilty of the ax wielding. Anyhow, it has become very dangerous for a black woman to be caught with a white man in the dark in Birmingham. If there can't be any honorable association of whites and blacks in the light there should be no toleration of their associating together in the dark. That's all. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. AS WE ENTER THE NEW OUT OF THE OLD YEAR AS the readers of The Negro World go out of the old year into the new year they should take heart of hope to go on in the good work whereunto they have set minds and souls because they have dug a foundation in the past upon which they built the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the inspiration and guidance of Marcus Garvey, which has proclaimed the doctrine of the right of the Negro everywhere to a full voice in his own government and a fair share in his labor, with the establishment of a government of his own in Africa as the chief end and aim of their aspirations and strivings. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a living fact in the life of the Negroes of the world. It has aroused the Negroes of the world to a realizing sense of their own importance in shaping their own destiny, and they have a just right to take pride in their organization, which has accomplished so much, and in their leader, who has challenged the pretentions of the white man everywhere to determine the life and property and living conditions of the Negro people. And the white man has not ignored the challenge, and he will not, because it is backed by a man and an organization which have the courage of their convictions, and who are inspiring others to have it, and will continue to do so. That is great gain, the greatest gain that has come to the Negro people of the world. It has aroused them to a lively sense of their compelling obligation to themselves and to their posterity, and enthused them with the hope in organized effort to get what rightfully belongs to them as human beings, made in the image, the likeness of God, as other men are, from those who would deny to them their inheritance equally with others of the human family in the earth and the fullness thereof. Wherever the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are to be found in numbers large enough to do things they should take the lead in all efforts to better the social, civil and economic condition of the race. It is their business to inspire and lead others. They have the organization and the leadership. They have the numbers, and they make the money which should enable them to initiate and develop all of those enterprises which make for respectability, power and wealth. And no one can do much in any community without these. And you can't have respectability and power without wealth, plenty of it, enough of it to enable you to do for yourselves what others who have it, do for themselves. When you have made the most of your opportunities in the places where you are, you will be all the more able to sustain the program of the parent organization for the redemption of Africa from white rule and exploitation and for the establishment of a Negro State in Africa. Let us keep these facts in mind as we enter the new out of the old year. The future lies before us, but we cannot get out of the future any sort of values which we do not put into it by the way we use the opportunities we have in the present. The Negro World expects every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to do his and her full duty by himself and herself, in the communities where they are, and to the parent body, in the new year upon which we are just entering. And that and the vast membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION ONE of the most distinguished journalists we ever knew once said to us that he never knew a man good enough and fair enough to have undisputed control of the liberties of another man. Human nature is so constituted. The desire to rule over some one or something is dormant in most people and is easily aroused by the possession of the power to show it. The best master is, in the last analysis, no better than the meanest slave. The difference is only in the fact that one has the power to work his will, while the other has not. Reverse their positions and you get the same disposition to tyrannize the one over the other. We find much the same disposition running through the animal kingdom, the dumb animal kingdom, for most persons have more or less of the animal in them. We are all familiar with the dog chasing the cat and the cat chasing the rat, and the difficulty of making them live together, respecting the rights and interests of the one with the other, in the same enclosure. So it is with persons. Every member of our group in this section has a solemn duty to perform, and that duty is to continually be on the job, not only for the material things of life, but to assist in maintaining the highest standard of citizenship that it is possible to reach. In these days of false rumors of riots and near riots, there is a potent influence to discredit a race, despite the outward evidence of its amazing progress. To curtail this effort, we must demonstrate to the utmost that we are ambitious to take a place in the very front, ranks for law, order and all of the elements which go to make us citizens worth while—Los Angeles California Eagle. We know of no thing more obnoxious than the disposition of one man to dominate the life of another, of one race to dominate the life of another, and to order their ways. When this condition obtains in a social order which guarantees equal privileges and immunities to all, as is very generally the case in our Southern States, the reason is to be found in the ignorance and disorganization of those oppressed, often supplemented by much corruption and cowardice, the latter having brought about much of the civil disqualifications and disabilities under which the race now labors in our Southern States. Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University, writes a great deal for our newspapers, and we doubt if any of them pay him a nickel for his work. Some of his thinking is not only very gagged but very demoralistic. In a recent article in the Boston Chronicle and other After all has been said and done, human nature puts forth effort to secure the things that it wants rather than the things that it needs. The colored people of Washington need a Y. M. C. A. more than a dance hall; but they want a dance hall rather than a Y. M. C. A. The problem which involves upon Negro leadership is to identify wants and needs to make them want the things that they need. Usually our wants run to the gratification of instinct and undesirable desires. While our needs involve the moral requirements oftentimes at variance with our prompts, instincts — Prof. Kelly Miller in the Boston Chronicle. Speaking particularly of the Negro our race stands upon a par with any other race. No matter how ignorant and morally incompetent many of the race may be, their complement is to be found among the whites in greater proportion. North as well as South, So get the idea out of your head about racial inferiority. All races must be judged by the men and women they produce, and as long as the Negroes under the most adverse conditions produce superior men and women, the race itself must be the equal of any. — Tampa Bulletin. The Negro has been unfortunate in the respect that he has been delivered into the hands of unscrupulous leaders who play the game for their own ends rather than for racial benefit. What is needed are new leaders, men and women of sterling character and worth, who are willing to demand pledges of patronage and see that these pledges are carried out. With unity among the Negroes this is a very easy matter. First they must have faith in those whom they choose to lead them and, secondly, they must follow directions. If leaders SOMETHING NEW IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE A long time ago King Solomon, who is one of the mystery men of all times, as we had three names and we are not sure he was really any one of them, once said that "the thing that hath been, is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us." (Ecc., 9-10.) That should be final, because the wise king not only spoke for his own times but for times that were then olden, and keep in mind that King Solomon declared that "I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyards have I not kept." (Cant. v., 5-6.) But King Solomon never saw a railroad train of cars moving; he never saw a telegraph line in action; he never saw an airplane flying through the air or a submarine flying under the waters; he never talked through a telephone, and he never saw a Negro brick mason laying bricks in New York. Were these of old time before King Solomon wrote his Canticles? Perhaps. Who knows? And a lot of people now worry because they are "black but comely." Why? Does color make the man or worth? I spent the winter of 1920 down Memphis way. I saw many things in Memphis that you could not see in Harlem. Among the things I saw in Memphis was a big Negro church under construction. The architect and contractor and all of the workmen on the building—the masons, the hod-carriers, the lathers and plasterers—were all Negroes. Down in the business section I saw the same thing, except that the white masons were working on one wall and the black ones on another, the whites working in one group and the blacks in another, on the same job, but all getting the same high wages. When I came back to New York there were three structures being built for black folks by black folks in Harlem, but all the workmen were white, and I was told that white workers would not work with black ones on a black man's building for the work on which black folks paid. The thing grated on my nerves. It seemed an outrage then and I still think of it in that way. And, then, just the other day I passed a tenement house in process of construction on 139th street and my attention was transfixed by the sight of some twelve Negro brick masons laying brick by the side of white ones, at $16 per day and... I stood long and watched the workmen, because the sight was good to me. The immigration restrictions and the scarcity of skilled labor had opened the way which white trade unionism and race prejudice had so long closed against us. As I passed on my way, musing, I said to me. Now, then, here is something new in little old New York---something King Solomon never saw. Was it also "of old time, which was before us?" prove false, eliminate them. If machines refuse to deliver, wreck them. That is politics. It is time that we thoroughly understand the game and play it as all other groups play it—Chicago Enemy! It is to be hoped that the men who are to make laws will show as much courage as the President by passing a bill that will outlaw lynching and bring to a close the reign of terror—Wheeling Advocate. As we have stated so often in the Christian Recorder, self respect is one of the greatest assets of an individual and also one of the greatest assets of a race. Without it no individual or no race can go forward. The biggest enemy to the Negro is not lynching, or disfranchisement, but is a lack of self respect and those things which tend to it. We will one day find that the present education of the Negro is not all we think it is. For from one point of view the educated group of people is very weak. It is the hardest to co-operate, usually the last to give encouragement to racial development.—Christian Recorder. The people who hustle for their share of the education and culture and good morality and, wealth of, the time and place in which they live and hope and strive will enjoy their own self respect as well as that of their neighbors. The person who has a bank account has an unfailing friend in every dollar to his credit—the beat and most sympathetic and responsive of all friends. —Norfolk Journal and Guide. WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General As of January 1, 1924. ITALIAN HOPES IN AFRICA A CAUTIOUS ADVANCE (From the London Times Weekly Edition) North Africa has for the past 20 years had some claims to be considered a vital point of European politics. It is today the running sore of Spain, the storehouse, in more senses than one, of France, and the repository of many of the hopes of Italy. The Italian slice of this country was obtained by war. The interest of the people of Italy in colonial development is remarkable, thanks chiefly to the aching need for emigration outlets, and to the desire, general among Italians, to establish their country as a first-class power. The Museum government's deliberate policy is to atone for disappointments in the Allocation by a resounding success in Tripolitania; the old disastrous policy of advance by unsupported columns has been abandoned, and replaced by a plan of small but systematic advances on the model of the French conquest of their sector—a plan which the French in turn copied from the Romans. In the war of 1912 the Italian task was facilitated by the discontent of the population with Turkish rule, and in the Tripoli sector by the ancient quarrels between the Balkers and the Arabs. The former occupied the mass between Nalut and Jefco, and their assistance from this strategic point has always been of immense value to the Indians. But the problem of conquest in the two provinces has been entirely different. In Tripoli the prevailing social organization is that of small tribes owning a feral allegiance to their respective chiefs, and it has been possible to follow the injunction "Dicide et impera." In Cyprus, however, the whole country is subject to the consolidating influence of the Serbs. Resistance has, therefore, always been more obstinate here than in the Tripoli sector. It was organized and continued by the famous Enver for many months after the peace of 1914, and when Enver returned to Turkey he left an able heuteman, Aziz Bey, who was able to continue hostilities up to the outbreak of the war. The destruction of the Senussi power by the British Expedition of 1917 completely changed the situation. The Grand Senussi fled, and his cousin besought the elemeny of the Italians on behalf of a decimated and starving people. The resout was the part of Sollum, the first of a series under which Italian sovereignty has been recognized and Senussi assistance in control of the country secured by the payment of a subsidy. This situation prevailed in Cyrenaica up to last spring. When the armistice freed Italy hands from European tangles, a start was at once made toward the restoration of Italian prestige in Tripoli where a force of 100,000 men was concentrated. But, owing to the Socialist clamors for withdrawn, ably engineered by the Arab delegation which passed most of 1820 and 1921 at Rome, nothing effective could be done for over three years. Finally, Signor Amendola, colonial minister in the Fata government, whom the Chamber had allowed to take office largely because of his Socialist sympathies, amazed and disguised the prophets of Little Italy by ordering the occupation of Minurata. This open declaration of war cut short all equivocation. In face of a storm of abuse Signor Amendola held his ground; and the necessity of releasing the beleged garrison of Asisla and of repatriating the Berber refugees gave him the excuse solidly to occupy the country up to Naulat and the Jefren massif. His policy has been continued by the Fasista government. Further, the Fascist have been able to operate simultaneously in both sectors, to denounce all existing pacts with the Senussi, to occupy the palace of the Grand Senussi at Agedabia, and to drive the enemy into the southern and western deserts. In the Syrtis, the old hunting-ground of Senussis, the war-like cousin of the Grand Senussi, Sadeed-Din, has become the focus of disaffection in both sectors, and has taken the title of Emir of Libya. It is only fair to add that this offensively against the Senussi was not callously begun in defiance of agreements, but only after the Senussi had been twice vainly summoned to a conference. The question remains how far the country is worth all this trouble and expense. But for the question of prestige, the Italians would probably have been wise to leave the hinterland alone. The country can be peaceful only so long as troops in numbers are there; and the scattered character of the ones will make military occupation always dangerous and expensive. UNWELCOME HERE, JAPANESE GO HOME Law Against Alien Land Ownership and Cropping Contracts Starts Big Exodus SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 22.—A widespread migration of Japanese from the Pacific coast to Japan has started because of the recent Supreme Court decision, the first which held constitutional the State laws prohibiting alien land ownership, the second declaring Japanese cropping contracts with white landowners illegal. Major prosperous Japanese truck gardeners and hot-house flower and vegetable growers are bitter about the final solution of their problem. Members of the City Council here have received the following letter self-explanatory of this feeling: A Native African Say Now It Is Day Time To the Editor of The Negro World: It affords me great pleasure to have this opportunity of speaking to the 400,000,000 scattered black people of the world through the Universal Negro Improvement-Association's organ. It is day time, so let us all work while it is day, for no man can work in the night. If the truth as it were can crush the earth, if the truth as it were can crush the Alps, cease the birds from flying and the sea waves from groveling, then Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God and princes shall once again come out of Egypt. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is the salt of the earth whereby the 400,000,000 the world over will, keep from corruption until the eleventh hour. Speaking from this side of the globe, that since it is day time, we can see the incorrigible group of people, the incorrigible leagues, the incorrigible societies, the incorrigible leaders and their hysteria against the U. N. I. A—there is but one alternative, and that is this, that all these vicious groups will eventually affiliate themselves one by one within the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, when they fully understand that we are the gateway to Ethiopia's personal, ancient glory. Unity must be something richer, grander, more comprehensive than anything which we can see at present. It is something into which and up to which we must grow, something of which and for which we must become worthy. We need to have sufficient faith in God to believe that He can bring us to something higher and more Christlike than anything to which at present we see a way. The vicious group of our race I may say under the circumstances, will at no time overshadow the advantages of the union that I am speaking of. We thank God Almighty for unaccountable blessings, for deliverance of Hon. Marcus Garvey, the indomitable leader, to carry on the work he is the soul of. Let us go with our Divine Master to the top of the Mount of Olives and there we shall obtain a wider, broader and larger view of the needs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the world.

Costa Rica Conditions and Trouble Makers To the Editor of The Negro World: The missionary meeting held at Squirretes on November 27 had a fairly good attendance, we may say of popular called make-shift Christians, who in their heart of hearts, are only for outward show. The speakers of the evening dwelt on topics relative to foreign mission work, interspersed at intervals on other reform movements, making speeches of making Gandhi, eulogizing and landing him in the high-strung passions of a veritable Indian patriot, one not knowing who the speaker was, who hadn't the opportunity of looking closely over his physique, taking stock of his wooly hair, and the Aero-of-Spade color of his skin, would verify believe that the speaker in person was no other than the right hand, man of Mahatma Gandhi on the platform. The organization that is sponsoring the cause of all Negroes the wide world over, headed by the most indomitable leader of the Negro race in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, organizer of the most expensive organization for Negroes, was quoted, and is looked upon by one of the speakers as a force; that its leaders are all self-seeking adventurers and decivers diving the ignorant masses of their race for self-aggrandizement and fame bufoonery.

King Tut's Tomb After Thirty Centuries Within a few weeks Howard Carter and his associate will know whether Tutankh- Amen lies in the tomb at Luxor in the Valley of the Kings. The great moment of their work will come of course, when they find or do not find the King in his sarcophagus. But the full value of their discovery will be arrived at only after years of patient work which must follow the removal from the tomb of its contents. Arthur C. Mace of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who was assigned by the museum to assist Lord Caramayon and Mr. Carter, has touched interestingly on this work of restoration in the museum's bulletin on its Egyptian work of 1922-1923. Mr. Mace says that the objects which were removed last winter and spring complied only a quarter of the contents of the tomb, and that probably the least valuable quarter. All that could be done at the time these objects were taken out was to give them "first aid treatment." To note carefully their condition and arrangement before they were touched, and to put them in shape for transportation. But the three thousand years that the possessions of the Emu have hain at Taxor have left much for the archaeologists to do. The charities offer one of the simplest tasks. Their woodwork is in good condition and needs only resurfacing and the restoration of some pieces of inlay that have fallen. The leather parts of the horse trappings have almost completely vanished. Little is left but the gold ornamentation with which they were covered. New harpess will be made and the ornaments attached to it. The restoration of the roles is more difficult. The linen body was found to be almost in powder, so that it was necessary to note carefully the arrangement of the headwork and acquires before they were touched. On one garment Mr. Mack calculates there were about 50,000 beads. These must all be attached to a new linen body. The task of restoring the sandals will also require skill and patience. Until this sort of work is done, Mr. Mace points out, many of the objects recovered at Luxor will have neither archaeological nor artistic value.

COUPON, TODAY; do it right now. By HUBERT J. COX NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS will have been made by the time this paper reaches you and perhaps broken. Resolutions in life are necessary to stimulate interest, compel action, guide conduct, inspire ambition, develop solidarity for a specific purpose—only when they are kept. Where there is no law there is no transgression, in that resolutions are such, and must be followed to justify the promise made. Don't make resolutions any time in the year without finding out that there is reasonable possibility of keeping them—otherwise your peace of mind will be disturbed by the more attempt in using energy in the darkness of night. LOVE AND RELIGION stand out as two great forces that have moved the world in ancient, medieval and modern times. When either of them is absent, it appears that the age of progress has been reached and the result is a general upheaval with a revolt against effects, unmindful of the conditions that led up to them. Food, clothes and shelter combined are the basic needs of man, and in proportion to their accumulation under the individual ownership of a single person or the control of a few selfish interests, man's love for his brother is less and the religion he professes mere cant and hypocrisy. Finding no solace in religious institutions, with stark realism the youth of today tear down the vell, revealing institutions that bend sweepingly to earth according to the size of the contribution in "the plate." The persistent dollar is shown as it directly or indirectly plays the leading role, sponsored by black or white. The indictment of religion corresponds to the indictment against love, that gave the world its last great upheaval. Where is the remedy? Intrepid youth has flung the gauntlet of war into the ring for all reforms that must take the place of chicanery, evasion, cant, hypocrisy and double-dealing that were having an unchallenged hearing. The illusions that have been masquerading for a long time are called for an accounting. Clean and fearlessly, in a passionate review, honest in its discontent, the youth of the world pledge themselves to the New Era that must come out of the rot and chaos of our times. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is revolutionizing the thoughts and desires of men everywhere. The historic tasks of the world now point unmistakably toward the youth of the world now, who appear ready to put on the armor of strength and of purpose; "the right the wrongs in existence for the present, here and now." Love and Religion are the varieties of Life. They contain in themselves the powers, for rejuvenation. After each cycle of time they call for standard bearers, crusaders, pioneers who have survived the upheaval and others who have demolished the obsolete outlook and brought down times that have served their purposes, by their fierce attacks, withering away the pungy resistance, to remain, construct, develop and direct the human race on its way to the next step of its evolutionary development. Striking home hard, uncompromising, convincing, the unceavals and revolt usher in the Light of the New Days as it unfolds through the youth of the world in all cities and all countries. The vanguard is driven to the responsibility. Here and now begin your new efforts of achievement for a purposeful life, place, influence and power. HON. MARCUS GARVEY, leader of four hundred millions of Negro peoples the world over, has not only benefited from the acquisition of present knowledge and the use of modern conveniences, but now pays the price for giving to the world principles of Fatherhood and Brotherhood, including the direction of the energy of these millions who will contribute to the world's progress. The genius of the man is reflected in his ethnic division of the human family, in that he lets himself up and other men with hung. The new estimate of the Negro is different because these fundamentals stand behind the present leaders of the world. The press, output and politician represent the mighty symbols of power. Working in harmony and unison they constitute the greatest force known to mankind. It is impossible to effectively resist them other than through corresponding agencies. Of the greatest and most powerful of the three is the press, largely used for propaganda. The press molds and controls popular, public opinion; disseminates news, changes styles, morals and manners; makes and breaks men of affairs; dictates policies, for the government; aws and influences the masses in the direction in which their interest lay. It would be a mild assertion to say that propaganda in the chief weapon of the press. — Milwaukee, Champion. Send me the wonderful Joyzone Medicine; also the free book.

Of the New York Tuberculosis Asin- Pneumonia is a disease which attacks the lungs. The lungs are organs of breathing which are placed for safe keeping under a shield of bone called the ribs. To have such strong protective walls you can imagine that the lungs are exceedingly delicate organs which are essential to life. This is true, for without this delicate breathing apparatus no human being could exist. When germs are taken into the lungs with the air which is breathed, they may give rise to trouble. A particular kind of germ may cause tuberculosis. Another and different variety may cause pneumonia. The pneumonia germ starts an inflammation in the lung tissue just as a germ can cause inflammation in an infected finger. Pus is thrown out and poison is spread. Negroes are more apt to have pneumonia than white people, and that is saying a good deal. It is more serious in blacks than in whites. January is a month in which much pneumonia is present in our city and it would be well to know how to avoid it. Since changeable weather makes it difficult to dress warmly enough, or to guard against being too warmly dressed, changeable weather is more apt to bring pneumonia than a long. steady cold "spell." There lies one warning: Be careful to dress comfortably and seasonably. Don't get wet feet, and don't dance until overheated and then step outdoors without wraps to cool off. Sudden chilling of the body is dangerous. This disease may attack young or old, and the strong men and women are not entirely safe from its attack. Those who have been "run down" are more liable to it, however. It pays to keep in good health; to avoid any excesses, particularly that of alcoholism. One who has influenza, and a child who has measles, or other illness, should be carefully guarded against a late development of pneumonia. Pneumonia may start with a sudden chill and pain in the chest followed by fever and all the symptoms of a really severe illness. In some cases, to be sure, it begins slowly with a loss of appetite, headache, pain in the back and more or less severe bronchitis, or a cold in the head. In children it is apt to start with vomiting, and perhaps a convulsion. The fever goes rapidly higher and higher until there is no doubt about its presence. There may be pain in the abdomen. Usually in babies the cough is not particularly noticable, and, of course, they do not raise the mucous as an older person can. Babies will appear restless and have nervous twitchings or appear drowsy and totally indifferent to everything and everybody. A doctor should be sent for as soon as any of these signs are noticed and careful treatment started at once, for life depends upon doing the right things early. The handling of the patient is exceedingly important in pneumonia and rest, fresh air and proper food is essential. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and subacute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. MARK H. JACKSON No. 269-K Durston Bldg. SYRACUSE, N. Y. We publish below a synopsis of "Velled Aristocrat," a novel from the pet of Miss Gertrude Sanborn, a brilliant white writer, who has made an intensive study of the problems arising from Negro oppression in this country. Mr. Carter G. Woodson, the esteemed President of the Associated Publishers, Inc., of Washington, D.C. informs us that Miss Sanborn failed to interest a single white publisher in placing her book on the market, "because it idealized the virtues of the Negro." One publisher, we are told, retitled the story with these words, "The tale is most beautifully and poetically written and deserves a softer subject."—Editor the Negro World. Synopsis Rod Rocco, a white kid, with deep yearnings for the mobile things of life lives in the dreary little town of Waterport with a father whose soul does not rise above the level of his hardware business, and a mother whose mind for economy and general small mindedness makes matters worse. Rod is slowly plunging away in this despairing atmosphere, and the family physician, in divining the cause, contrives to bring him in contact with Carr McClellan, a man of magnitude personality and a wounded veteran of the last war. Rod, on meeting Carr, suffers a shock, Carr is a Negro. Rod, however, under the geniality and charm of Carr's manner, soon forgets this and he returns from the visit invigorated. Rod is deeply desolated of meeting Carr again, and, very close friendship is soon established between the two. This companionship, however, is bolder when Carr recoveries and returns to be home in Chicago. Rod is disconsolate at the loss of her friend and unable to stand Watterson any longer, brings a friend to Chicago. Care welcomes him, and finds him a home with Amber Thigar, an octoonor, who lives with her. Kidd and an amuse in a beautiful kept house. Amber, herself, is a descendant of one of America's most decorated white statesmen. She takes the fortune led to her mother's heart, and under the warmth of the environment of begins to experience true happiness. Their companionship renewal, Carr takes Rod to the University of Art, where he meets many museums, artists, poets and authors; all Negroes. In this artistic atmosphere Rod is inspired to develop his own artistic urge and decides to take up dancing. He studies at night, working by day at a house painter. Carr, himself, is a genius at modeling and has a studio where he creates many beautiful figurines at night, after the day at the office where he fills a good position, passing as a Spartan. One day while Rod is at work in the aristocratic Cartwright mansion, he hearts a dance time being played by Natalie, heroes to the Cartwright millions, and seized by the spirit of the dance, he drops his brush and begins to dance. Natalie catches sight of him in the mirror, and is so much thrilled that she invites him to lunch, overalls and all, to the horror of the butter. They meet again and again. He tells of his life among the colored people and of Carr. Natalie, herself, was feared in France, and knows nothing of the American color bar, her own father having introduced her to distinguished persons of color abroad. She has, moreover, a love for the exotic and wishes also to go among the colored people, and to meet Carr a desire that is fanned when Rod shows her one of his wonderful figures.

Jealous at Natalie's interest in Rod, Lane, in order to get him out of the war, gets him a position as a dancer with a leading impressario. Natalie, still eager to meet Carr, is finally taken by Rod to a charity, ball given by the colored elite. One of the leading performers instantly fascinates her. It is Carr. The two meed and the attraction is mutual. In the days that follow, Carr reads Natalie's love in her eyes and shrinks away when he remembers her ancestry. Love wins, however, and both become engaged. Later she tells Rod and Lane of the pact. Both are thunderstruck. Rod, himself, is in love with her. His bitterness, however, is swallowed up in his love for Carr, while that of Lane's is aggravated. At this time Astor Cartwright, Natalie's father, a man of dominant personality, whose hobby is great engendering feats, returns from South America, Cartwright has a secret of his own. It is about Natalie's dead mother. Seeing a picture of Carr, he is struck by the strength of character the portrait reveals and, mistaking Carr for a Latin, compliments Natalie on her choice. On learning Carr real ancestry, however, he thunders in rage. At this, critical moment Rod and Carr come to the mansion, and Cartwright, towering with rage, orders Carr away. Rod follows. Rod, thinking to place Cartwright determines to look up Carr's father, whom he understands is a white man of distinction, to ask him to plead for his son. Rod goes to Masscrop and sees Carr's mother. The latter tells the story, of Carr's ancestry, but when she learns that he is about to marry a white girl, the Gods doctor and hastens North in an endeavor to prevent the marriage. In the meantime Natale delies her father and goes to marry Carr. Cartwright misses her and is led by Lone to the studio where he finds her with Carr. Cartwright, mad with page, is about to spring on Carr when Rod and Carr's mother enters. Mrs. McClellan immediately runs to her son's sade and at a glance recognizes Cartwright as the husband of her dead mistress, Natale's mother. She refers to the great astonishment of all that Natale's mother was the daughter of a very wealthy white man by a Negro mother, and therefore that Natale is colored. Lane, maded at the thought that he had had Natale and her millions, whips out a revolver at Carr, but Rod diverts it in such a manner that Lane shoots his own self. Cartwright, shocked at the discovery of his secret, for he had known all along that Natale's mother was colored, dies of heart failure Natale and Carr are married and go to France to live, while Rod becomes a famous dancer, and writes back to thank the family doctor at Westport for having brought him in contact with Carr.

THE ORIGINAL BOHEMIANS A Mysterious Cult Asserting Itself in Asia There is a mysterious cult in Asia, the King of the World, the Great Unknown, which is profoundly penetrating the minds of the Asiatics, proclaiming the superiority of the spiritual strength of the East, and affirming the necessity of forcing all humanity to accept its will and its world outlook, even at the cost of general blood-spilling. Ferdinand Ossendowski, describing this cult in the December Century, says that eventually the white race will have to reckon with the now only legendary influence of the King of the World. In traveling through Central Asia, Mr. Ossendowski had an unusual opportunity to study this mysterious cult, which, he says, is built on a legend of the subterranean Kingdom of Agharti, founded sixty-five thousand years ago in the caves and precipices of the Western Himalayas. There crime, sin, and disficience to the law are unknown. After describing the perfection and the organization of Agharti, Mr. Ossendowski says: "Once, twenty-five hundred years ago, an insurrection broke out in Agarti, as some tribes not sufficiently pure in spirit joined its population. The lower layers of the pyramid of Agarti wanted to occupy the highest places. A fight took place during which the King of the World threw down on the bodies of the insurgents, part of the roof of the Vaults of his state, and thus separated Agarti from these servants of evil. A part of the insurgents, namely the Toucheens the Kalmukes, and the Tziganes, escaped and returned to the surface of the earth taking with them some fragments of magical formula and some cemeteries of the great wished of Agarti. With the help of these they became fortune-teller, warriors, and wagers in deeper magical sciences. At Samsur, the Tziganes are called to helm, which signifies "to away from me." It is the course of banishment, of damnation. But how strange it is that this name is so very like the other name for the Tziganes, Bolemians. Is it perchance possible that the spirit of Agarti, of the Great Unknown, has had any influence here? FRENCH AFRICAN-POLICY SAID TO BE CHANGING (Continued from page 2) There are important contingents of Spamandre and Italians among them. Even among these classified as French are included persons who have been naturalized and their children. But these different Mediterranean elements, if we except, perhaps, the Italians of France, soon become French through the influence of the schools and the process of civic life. Thus, less than one hundred years after the landing of the French at Algiers (July 4, 1820), we see the formation of a North African people of European origin but of French culture, just as the people of the United States, in spite of the mixed origin, bears the Anglo-Saxon imprint: "Sole by sole on Northern Africa with this population which bears the French stamp that has a non-European white population, of the 100,000,000 Musicanian natives of Northern Africa, the great majority are white and of Beber and Azab origin. India, China, with a population to which somewhat under 20,000,000 is popped closely by Ammuny, who in the delta banks at an density of from two to three thousand per square kilometer. Like all of the yellow peoples, the Ammunyans possess a civilization which, though it differs in form from ours, is highly developed and boasts great refinement, and which at a clear task to help develop further without there being any question of destroying or brutally assimilating it. In Cambodia we find among the Khmer an outpost of the civilization of India, Madagascar, with 5,000,000 inhabitants, is still almost a deserted world, principally popped by Malaysia. Further, there must be included a few Greek, Metis and French Negroes settled in the other colonies. "To complete our enumeration we must mention the 20,000,000 Negroes in Western and equatorial Africa, who are of widely varying race culture and capacity for progress. Three of the Sudanese desert and plain are converts to Islam but to deformed Islam, adapted to primitive habitats and very different from the Islam of North Africa. This mix of 20,000,000 people, whom it is necessary to protect from the vages of intercine warfare, of slavery, of famine, of alcoholism, and of dangerous plagues, are to be considered chiefly fitted for husbandry, and as a reserve of military man power, which should be tapped only with discretion. "To the harsh dictates justifying the dominance of France over inferior races there at first succeeded a half idealism, which saw in all the subjects of France men of equal value, ready to be transformed into true Frenchmen. Experience and contact with the various populations of the French Republic have modified this exaggerated view and have taught France the complexity of her Colonial problems. She knows now that her task is not to assimilate white, black and yellow populations, each of them with its own traditions, but to help each, in its own interests as well as in the interest of all, to develop all that is best in the individual civilization. She aims to develop all that is best in the Arab-Berber and Annamite civilizations; to awaken even in the Negro of the Sudan a certain desire for betterment; to associate all these populations, through Nineteen hundred years ago the world was enjoying a period of peace and calm such as it never had experienced before. Rome, mistress of the world, reigned supreme. Her eagle, carried by her well disciplined and victorious legions, ranged from the parched deserts of Africa to the stern and wild mountains of Caledonia, and from the pillars of Hercules to the steppes of Asia Minor the Romans unfurled their standard as a challenge to the barbarians as evidence of their great civilization. So remarkable was this peaceful condition that the Romans erected a temple and upon its portals placed in letters of gold the words "The Temple of Eternal Peace." Nineteen hundred years have passed. That temple is now buried among the ruins of ancient Rome, and other temples have been erected for the purpose of preaching peace, the fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man, yet there is no peace. The peace which we are now enjoying may be likened to the calm before the storm. The nations of the world have just emerged from a devastating war, in which they threatened the destruction of a civilization remarkable for its scientific discoveries. They, however, are only taking a breathing space before they once more come to grips in a deadlier and more destructive war, which we believe will be the downfall of Anglo-Saxon and Latin civilization. The white man prays for peace, and his prayer is best described by the words of Lowell in "The Washers of the Shroud": "God, give us peace! Not such as hulls to sleep But sword on thick. And brow with purpose but. And let our ship of state to harbor sweep, Her forts all up, her battle hattering lit. And her leashed thinders, gathering for their leans. With such a conception of peace, with the strong and the rich oppressing the weak and the poor, with the cower of racial prejudice eating at his very vitals, how can the white man expect peace in the correct sense of the word? The doctrine of the divine right of kings has been properly thrown to the rubbish heap of discarded beliefs, but instead, we now have the white race claiming that it has a divine mission to carry the doctrine of Christ, to the backward peoples of the world. We believe that no one should attempt to teach another unites that person thoroughly understands and is capable of appreciating from every angle the subject which he desires to teach, and at the same time able to give practical proofs of his knowledge. This, the self-appointed custodian and expence of Christianity has utterly failed to do. With the religion of Christ in his keeping, and in spite of his counsels of Trent and Nice, Reformation, conformity and non-conformity, the white man finds it impossible today thoroughly to understand much less to practice the high ethical deities of the Man of Gatsby. Christianity demands that its followers be meek and humble, that there be no racial discrimination, that forgiveness should be practiced even seventy times even if necessary, but after 1,000 years of professed Christianity, do we find the white man humble, forgiving, or submissive? We find him at Christmas singing and preaching "Peace on earth, good will toward men," but is he making any effort to establish that peace and good will? Sometimes in our passionate mood we feel that the Galilean dead in vain, that He come into the world 5,000 years before His time, for a 1,000 years have made but very little change in the white man's heart. When he goes to war he does not treat his enemies any more gentle than he encounters, but if the truth he made known, he treats them a great deal worse. He still continues some of the cruel practices of the ancients, but he does it in a more refined way. With these facts storing us in the face, we Negroes cannot afford to be idealists, living, as we are, in a material world. Would you have wealth, power and government, then get it, not through humility and meekness, but by blood and coin. When we have rescheduled the goal of our ambitions, our aspirations, then we shall be among the most enthusiastic of those who would establish that peace on earth and good will towards men which is so necessary in this world if we are to live up to the doctrines of the Man of Sorrows. A peaceful solution of the white man's problem would mean death to the aspirations of the Negro, for it is only when thieves fall out that biggest men come by their own. We stand to gain more by the envy and distrustfulness among the whites, which will eventually cause their downfall, than through a peaceful adjustment of their troubles. The present generation is living in an age of wonderful changes and development, when nations, rise and fall, empires disintegrate, and the "third estate" in control of the destinies of the state. Out of these changes and the chaotic conditions which are bound to follow the Negro must be prepared and be on the "gul vive" to take advantage of the psychological opportunity when it comes. Until then, we may join in the singing of "Peace on earth, good will toward men," but always with certain mental reservations. various measures of local self-governments, in a collective productive effort, and to grant them little by little, as they reech majority, a fuller measure of local self-government in collaboration with Frenchmen. "This is the new innovation, both pragical and humane, which France has of her proper colonial policy." "He was negligent," the court had said, "and as a porter, charged with exercising extraordinary care in the traveling welfare of passengers in his coach, he was not diligent in the performance his duties. Hence, it follows that the company is liable, and the plaintiff is entitled to the full amount of his claim, including the expenses for medical care and attention during his internment at home, and the amount of income which he would have derived had he been able to follow his usual occupation." Following this, Joe, the porter, was taken off the "Limited," bitterly correlated by his chief, and fired. He blackened boots a while, rushed a tray at the hotel, ran on the lake boats a seaf son, and then, after pleas and tears, the superintendent had written him that he could "sab" a while on the Eastern division. And here he was again—the same Joe I had known at Hampton. Haldn't seen him in leaf years, but he had the same big brown eyes, the same honest voice, and the same round smile. "Yes, sir; the first time I've had a run in two years," he said, with a laugh, as he dexterously lighted a match and touched my cigar. "I'm only deadheading" this week, but I know they're not going to keep me at this very long. Too much trail this way, nowadays; and the boss knows that I used to make up births faster than any porter on his division," he continued with a grin. "What was the trouble? Haven't you been on the read right along?" I asked in real surprise. "I should say not," Joe replied. "They bounced me when a man's foot was smashed in a lower berth. I know it was an accident, but then I suppose the law had to take its course. Anyhow, I lost out, but I'm back now, and I believe I'm going to stay back, you can bet. And I sure inspected this car myself before we pulled out tonight. They won't get me again for some one else's burn inspection." Joe concluded. "Good for you, Joe," stick it out, you'll make good." I said as I started to foxake the smoker fg my berth. "I Taint so easy tonight," Joe persistently continued. "I've been helping out Fred McQuade for the last two hours." "Who's he?" "Oh, he's breakman on the deadhead" coach in front of us. You must remember him, don't you? His old, you know, helped me through Hampton. Fred was taken sick tonight just after we pulled out. He's there in upper one now. All I have to do is to look after the rear lights. We cut out the deadhead" at the junction. Gee! There's the signal now. I'll burst out so as to be ready to tag any "wildbeats" in case the caph lays over here for a whiff. Joe concluded, as he grabbed a red button, while I betook myself to expect a stop. I reached my lower, turned out the light, and after congratate a big myself at the properties of dreaming before the train started, turned my back to the aisle and closed my eyes. "Crash!" a sharp cry, the falling of shattered glass, and I found myself in the aisle with a short dash in my forehead, before I could realize what had happened. Fearful voices added to the sudden disorder. "Keep quiet," the conductor said as he dashed in the front door. "Nothing serious. Hit on the rear end, that's all. Nothing to be expected over. I'll telegraph the junction and they'll have another car here in a piff. Well be away in an hour, he snapped. "Anyone hurt or killed? someone anxiously answered. "No passengers." replied the conductor. "No one but the porter, he's a goner. Don't know what he was. If held stayed in here where he belonged, held been alive now," the conductor added. And a great sob from lower one was heard throughout, the shattered coach. RETURNING TO ZION There was a nasal tonic inflection in his voice that marked him Hebrew, and when I entered the smoker I recognized the speaker as my whom friend, the Wandering Jew. He had been through the West, not particularly on business, but more to recoup his health. He felt fine and was pleased to note the prospects for steady domestic activity. Something must be done to find a market for silver, he thought. There is such little silver money used that the Western mines are encountering difficulty in placing their product. The Japanese earthquake was being felt in undertakers' accessories, silks, linens, etc., but he didn't think the captains of the funeral industry would have nerve enough to raise the price of their aid service. The West was settling down to the determination of making the best of all conditions with a fine confidence in President Coolidge and his administrative agents. Lloyd George had absolutely "stolen the show" among the Middle Westerners by his democratic attitude. He didn't think the Negro migrants would be going South in great numbers during the winter, even if there should be a slump in production. The general outlook across seas is not so bright. "To tell the truth," said my versatile cosmopolitan, "I believe the world is losing its mind—a sort of universal loo.

It's a kind of a 'fe-nfo-fum' proposition and they will probably continue until they get their fill. "Do I undahstand you, auh, as havin' been opposed to the wah?" asked a gentleman, who was evidently a Southern colonel of the vallant Home Guards. "Whether I was or not," retorted the Wandering Jew, "I didn't sit at home to keep out of the draft. I went over like a man—enlisted and fought it out. Did you?"

DIVISIONS Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower The members of the Camaguey division are determined to make their local one of the strongest in the Republic of Cuba, and are endeavoring to unite into one solid mass the entire Negro community, so that they may be able to give better support to the parent body. Two meetings were held on Sunday, December 9, in the open air, the other in the Colon Hall. Both meetings were well attended by the members and friends of the division. We had with us the lady-president and also the first lady vice-president of the Florida division; Mr. P. Murray, of the Banes division; the president and secretary of the club Colon. The president of the division, Mr. Aubrey Jones, occupied the chair, and made a forceful appeal to Negroes to help in this grand and noble work of uplifting a downtrodden people. The audience was deeply touched with this address and at the conclusion two persons came forward and signified their intention to enroll as members. The lady-president of the Florida division was then presented and introduced to the audience. In a soul-stirring manner she earnestly implored the members to take more thought of the future of the race and said that due in a large measure to the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the world was now taking the Negro more seriously. She was given hearty applause at the conclusion of her address. The next was a solo rendered by Miss Lillian Clarke, of Florida. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. P. Murray; Mr. Battery, secretary; H. Angus, Miss A. Thomas, of Florida. Miss C. E. Barrow presided at the organ and assisted greatly in making the evening's meeting a success. After the offering the meeting was brought to a close. WHEELING. WEST VIRGINIA "Ready to Travel" Sunday, December 16, was a great day of the Wheeling, W. Va. Chapter 511, at Liberty Hall. That division is making rapid progress and is becoming very popular with the people of the community. They have their own hall and also own property which is rented but and is a source of revenue to the local. In the absence of our president, the first vice-president, Rev. Dr. Abdon Balome, presided. An interesting and inspiring program was presented to a large audience. The following edo was sung, followed by prayer. The chaplain, Mr. Cartherlon, gave a wonderful address, which proved conclusively that he is an ardent, and loyal member, who has faith in the ability of the association to carry out its program. The members are so fond of their President-General that the very mention of his name was a signal for applause. Our esteemed trustee, Mr. James McLoyd, delivered a real speech address, full of good advice and sound common sense. A beautiful trio was rendered by Mrs. Lulu Johnson, Mrs. Cartherlon, and Mrs. Emma Simpson. The lady-president was the next speaker of the evening, and asked the audience with her wonderful eloquence and sound lyrics. The principal address was delivered by the first vice-president, who took as his subject "Ready to Travel." The speaker dealt largely with the African side of the question, and urged upon his audience to prepare to go to a country where they would be free, for, in space of what might be said, no one knew it better than the Negro himself that as to a boy was concerned there was no freedom for him in this country. The legions turned out in uniform, and also the Black Cross Nurses, who made a splendid showing. Several new members were admitted, and the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian zythem. KANSAS CITY. MISSOURI On November 25 we held a meeting at the Cosmopolitan Club at 3 p.m. which was well attended. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr R. S. Johnson. The following was the program: Prayer by members, led by the chaplain; reading of the minutes by the secretary; reading of the front page message of the "Nergio World" by the Lady president, Mrs. Griffin; address by the president on the alms and objects of the association; short address by the treasurer, Mr. R. R. Walker; song: "Bringing in the Sheaves"; reading by Mrs. Griffin; song: "Let the Little Ones In"; address by Master Williamson, "The European Powers in Africa"; solo by Mrs. Smith, a visitor; address by Mr. R. S. Johnson, "Racial Activity." The addresses were well received by the audience and were full of inspiration and encouragement. We are determined to leave no stone unturned to make this division one of which the parent body may be justly proud. Our officers are full of enthusiasm and loyal to the cause, and with such men at the head of affairs it is almost impossible not to achieve success. CINCINNATI, OHIO On Thanksgiving Day, November 30, 1923, the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, addressed the people of Cincinnati, under the auspices of the Cincinnati Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In spite of the inclemency of the weather the meetings were well attended. There were two meetings held, one at 3 p. m., and the other at 8 p. m. The meetings were opened in the usual manner with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer by the chaplain of the division. In line of march were the choir, followed by the Universal African Legions, Black Cross nurses, motor corps, juveniles along with the officers of the division, and the President-General. Our local talent treated the division to the following: Mr. Dick's, solo; Rev. Gray, solo; a quartet by Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Toliver, Mr. Jones and Mr. Dick's; a recitation by Miss Laura Jarrett; This recitation impressed the President-General very much. Among the speakers for the meetings were the Hon. Wm. Ware, president of the Cincinnati division; Rev. E. Gray, first vice-president, and Mr. Stanley M. R. Cowen, of the College Chapter. President Ware, referred to Mr. Garvey as a man, and every inch of a man, and said that this man is endeavoring to help suffering humanity, and also the 400,000,906 Negroes. He had sacrificed for this race of ours, and yet he could not see why the majority of Negroes would not come in and assist this wonderful man. As every one was desirous of hearing Mr. Garvey, Mr. Ware did not make a lengthy address but quickly introduced the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Garvey was received with tremendous applause, after which the national anthem was played, and the units came to attention and saluted. Mr. Garvey spoke with his moral consequence and force. He said that he was sent out by the Executive Council to several divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on a mission, and this mission was about the delegation going to Africa in the interest of the organization. This delegation would sail for Africa on December 11, 1923, and would return to us in February, 1924. The delegation would interview the officials. After their return he would give out to the world the 1924 program. In August he expects to have the repatriation of the first colonists to Africa. MKS. E. HAMILTON. MONTREAL, CANADA The members of the Montreal Division are very fond of good music and realize that in order to hold the members of the division and attract the strangers and visitors in our midst the meetings of the division must be made as entertaining as possible. They were given a real treat on Sunday evening. The contributors to the program exhibited unusual ability in the execution of their pieces. The program was as follows: Duet, by Mirren Deshield and Lane; paper, Juanita Deshield; anthem by the juvenile choir; duet, Miss Deshield and Mrs. Marshall; address by Miss Turner; reading by Miss Vivian Lane; anthem, by choir. The orchestra rendered some beauti- ful selections which were well appreciated by the audience. Mr. J. P. Riddle, in an eloquent address, expounded the aims and objects of the association. CHARLES ESTE. On Sunday, December 2, the Banes division held its Harvest Festival services at 3:30 p.m. The hall was filled to the utmost capacity and quite a large crowd was compelled to remain outside. The hall was tastily decorated with red, black and green streamers and evergreens. There was a splendid assortment of fruits, vegetables, cakes, bread and buns, and also native made toys and other exhibits too numerous to mention. The order of the service was as follows. The opening ode, "From Greenland's ley Mountains"; full order of divine service by the chaplain, Mr. C. M. Clark, assisted by the president of the division, Mr. R. F. S. Blakes a quartet by four members of the choir; a lecture by Mr. B. M. Simms entitled, "Harvest Time"; a solo by Miss Z. Clark; an address by Mr. Burnett, entitled "The Ancient Man of History"; anthem by the choir; a short sermon by the chaplain; the Ethiopian national anthem; the Deneclation. Special mention must be made of a monster mass meeting, which was held that same night and which was as well attended as the evening service. There were several speakers who delivered inspiring and instructive addresses. On Monday night the sale of the offerings was conducted at Liberty Hall, and with a few exceptions, all of the offerings were disposed of. The proceeds of our Harvest Festival will go toward purchasing a piece of ground on which to erect a Liberty Hall. The division is greatly indebted to Mrs. Campbell. Lady-president; Mrs. A. Jones, second lady-president; Mr. J. L. Davis and Mr. Lakg (for their unselfish efforts in making the festival a success). PETER JAMES. FORT SMITH. ARKANSAS Fort Smith, Division No. 651, held mass meeting at the hall of the local on Sunday afternoon at 3:30, President A. C. Lusk took the hair and opened the meeting in the usual manner. The attendance was not as good on the previous Sunday, owing, no doubt, to the incumbency of the weather, myeless several visitors were present to learn of the crime, and oblige the association. After the haphazard led the assembly in protest the country read the preamble, and the out of attention, which made a demurrage on all the present, and contention vowed them that this was a convention worthy to be supported by the Negroes. The facade of the President's general was erected by the secretary and received the neatly arranged of all those who were in the hall. The meeting was closed, led by the captain who gave the benign tribute. MRS. F. MCAL Death of a Member We ought to acknowledge that Mr. Miriam Brabah, a resident of the sacred daughter to Mr. Samuel Brabah, died at her home on Saturday, December 14 at Ratha Oriental. Her beloved wife and loyal member of the U. N. A. The deceased was buried on Sunday afternoon and quite a gathering of Cincinnati, Saginaw and Jamestown turned out to the gravesite. The cemetery was carried through the town by tour little privy, and the processor followed behind. The funeral service was read by the chapel of the division. We extended our deepest pathes to the family of the deceased.

Marcus Garvey Addresses Meeting On Sunday, December 9, the Hon. Marcus Garvey made a dash through Brooklyn which fas as conspicuous as the trail that Halley Comet made across the sky some years ago. According to arrangements the President-General and his charming wife and escort arrived at Kismet Temple precisely at 4 p. m. As is customary with Brooklynites, the audience was somewhat late, and as the President-General was desirous of leaving at an earlier time than was anticipated this necessitated not only the shortening of the program, but also a complete change of same. The chateau, Mr. J. E. Samuel, found himself flanked on one side by a group of singers, musicians, and clocutionists, and on the other by a group of speakers who had spent weeks preparing their speeches for the occasion. Each one was eager to display his or her talent, but, owing to the above stated conditions, many were disappointed. The program was as follows: "O Africa, Awaken," audience; "Star-Spangled Banner," audience and band; sole, Mutame Paser Robinson; recitation, Master Bunyon; piano solo, Miss Hinds; selection by The Virginian Quartet; recitation, Miss Jackson; oration, Master Samuels; solo, Mr. G. Lasane. At this stage a collection was taken up, after which the President-General war introduced. After the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem, he delivered a speech pregnant with baby, army satire, paths and oblique. Professor Isley's band was to attendance and dishewed some very good music, which added rest to the program. It is the opinion of the writer that the President-General's And will be profiler of the greatest result to the U. N. L. A in the Borough of Brooklyn.

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS On Sunday, December 16, we held our unusual meeting, which was well attended by the members and friends of the division. We had six visitors to this division on this day Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions, and the Hon. W. A. Wallace, Commissioner of the State. The president opened the meeting with the singing of the opening歌. "From Greenland's key Mountains," followed by prayer. The lily president was the first speaker of the evening and delivered a brilliant discourse on the part which our women can play in the redemption of Africa. The secretary spoke on the association from a religious viewpoint, making some wonderful points on passages as they relate to the U. N. L. A. Our worthy president then presented the Ministry of Legions, who gave an eloquent address to be drawn home point after point in a manner which convinced me that the program on the U. N. L. A. is the only one which covers the Negro. Our Covenant leader was the most adored in the audience. His speech was calm and well-timed to the point and expressed our hope to the people. We are all awake today. Mr. Wallace with us. We are all at the meeting with the members and friends of the division. We are all in good spirits. A Baby in Your Home ```markdown ``` ANDIDOL n.

Many believe that the charge was only a shap to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest counts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.

REVIVAL MEETINGS (Continued from page 3) that was in the land of our fathers. From the cradle the black man has been with Christ, succeeding Him, protecting Him for His life's work, and when His life work was to be brought to an end, when He was laboring under the burden of the cross, too heavy for His physically to bear, even though it was but the weight of a feather spiritually for Him. He did not at that hour make manifest His spiritual strength. In His spiritual strength He could have borne the weight of the world, but He was dying as man and not as God. He was going to the cross as man to teach man his lesson of love, of humility, of sacrifice. That is why He went to the cross as man and not as Christ. And as He joynaged up the heights, with that heavy burden on His shoulder, even at that hour our Africa went to His rescue in the person of Simon the Cypranean. (Applause.) If some one saw you going up the street with a burden too heavy for you to hear, some one saw you bending down in pain and agony, and came to your rescue and said: 'Brother, I will ease your burden; I will help you to carry that weight and save you from falling,' would you be mindful of that fellow, would you not in common gratitude think of him, in what way you could help him? And He was Christ, the Son of God. If man forgets not to let service have its reward, surely God will not forget service rendered to Him. And that is why we feel confident we are in safe hands—we are in the grateful hands of God. That is why we accept Christ as the standard bearer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And in the name of Simon the Cyrenian we call upon Yestil at this hour, as we helped You to bear the cross up the rocky heights of valyv, we call upon You at this hour to help us bear our cross up the heights of Africa's redemption. Let us go forward with new hope and new courage, facing a new year with the determination to put over the work we have spiritually and physically dedicated ourselves to. (Loud applause.)

El representante Frear, republicano, presento una resolución en el comité de reglamentos de la camara urgiéndo la investigación del gobierno del general Wood. goñorador de las Filipinas, con el objeto de determinar si es tiempo de conceder su independencia al archipiélago. Necesaria Preparación Para Afrontar el Gran Caos Económico que Nos Amenaza—Esfuerzos Sobrenaturales Para la Salvación—La Constitución de una Nación en la Madre Patria Con Su Desarrollo industrial y Comercial Unica Solución de Nuestros Grandes Problemas En la resolución presentada se declara que se habia publicado con insistencia que al general Wood se habia concedido ese puesto con el objeto de peperlo en capacidad de compensar los favores que habia recibido en la campaña electoral de 1920 y que la alegada usurpación de autoridad y esfuerzos para extender los privilegios de explotación le permitirían el reconocimiento de las obligaciones en que incurrió en esa campaña. Es considerado como un deber de nuestra organización, así como también de sus directores, el preparar en todo tiempo la mente de nuestro pueblo paga la solución los problemas que afectan generalmente a nuestra raza, or medio de los cambios materiales en la evolución de los contecimientos en nuestra civilización comtemporánea. Duy pocos entre nuestro gran contingente han prestadoención alguna al sinnúmero de advertencias que una y tra vez hemos especificado, para aplicar un remedio eficaz la crisis que regularmente trac consigo grandes penalidades. Agrega el proponece que los fondos de la campaña electoral del general Wood fueron suplidos por intereses petroleros, tabacaleros, bancarios, terroviarios y otros interesados en el desarrollo de los recursos de las Filipinas. Las subscripciones individuales, seguín se declara en la mención alcanzaron a mas de un milón de dollars. Entre los muchos peligros que nos amenazan en el presente se halla la restricción de la prosperidad económica de la razá. Durante el periodo de la guerra fuimos objeto de la consesión de muchas oportunidades en la vida industrial del universo, lo cual se hizo necesario debido a las circunstancias: La guerra con su desvastación produjo un desconcierto tal tanto político como industrial, que los grandes poderes se vieron obligados, en contra de su deseo, a admitir a los elementos de nuestra raza en ciertas ocupaciones, abriéndoles ciertas lineas de empleo, cuyas puertas en período normal hubieran estado herméticamente cerradas. Agrigaseque que tanto el congreso como el país debieran conocer todos los hechos que rodean los actos del gobernador general Wood al convocar a session especial la legislatura filipina, sus proposiciones, aute la misma, los hechos relativivos a la tentativa de clausurar el banco nacional filipino y los intereses que than a aprocierase de esa clausura, así como la tentativa de arriviendo de la compañía del ferrocarril de Manila, la emisión de bonos propuesta por el gobernador y los depósitos de dineros recibidos por es respecto. Pidez también la investigación de su política en materia de centrales azucareros, concesiones petroleras y caucheras, la reoposition de empleados y otros actos que han sido objeto de agrias controversias en las Filipinas. Tal período irregular fue subsanándose paulatinamente y tanto la nación americana como el mundo entero vuelven de nuevo a su estado normal, lo cual significa una terrible inacción en el trabajo de nuestro elemento. Un estudio minucioso de la situación nos lleva a la conclusión de que dentro de otro corto periodo de tiempo, millones de niuestro elemento se verá fuera de sus actuales ocupaciones y el próximo año nos recibirá envueltos en una crisis industrial. Por esta y otras tantas circunstancias tocamos a cada instante el clarin de la advertencia. Se incluyen con la resolución algunos despachos de prensa dirigidos de Manila en los cuales se discue que el gobierno Wood tiene en su poder los nombres de senadores, representantes y otras personas prominentes en la vida social de Washington a quienes se acusa de haber recibido dinero por alogar por la independencia de las Filipinas. Concluye la resolución pidiendo se expresse la objection que existe, de haber aguja, contra la declaratoria ahora por el congreso del derecho de las Filipinas a su silbee e independente. En uno de nuestros editoriales durante la última conflagración, y cuando nuestro elemento tuvo oportunidades en los grandes centros industriales del país, tratamos detenidamente la cuestión económica; sin embargo, muy pocos prestaron atención alguna a nuestra prédica. Ellos invirtieron y derrocharon libremente, de todo lo cual resultó que nos hallamos en el presente, en la misma situación, financiera en que nos hallabamos antes de romperse las hostilidades. No Cambia la Actitud de Este País Uni o mas repeticiones de crisis económicas entre nuestro elemento, significaria la devastación de millones de la raza y fuera de esta civilización occidental, los cuales estarian imposibilitados para resistir los rigores del efecto que dicha crisis produjera. Debemos estar preparados para tales circunstancias? Con tal motivo la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra labora y lucha por la creación de un centro nacional en Africa, con el propósito de desenvolvernos industrial, comercial y politicamente El preciente Godlodge continuó de doce de que el senado valiqué las conversiones, celebradas con Mejico inmediatamente, a pesar de la revivimiento.

Campo enyo impo encentra en cuidad de Ménico, segund el juez. Cargo, el presidente Ofegol, al expedir la orden, ha terido por pro- positio que a肢所的引的 Es de esperarse naturalmente que cualquier retroceso económico en este país o en cualquier otro país de blancos, determinaria primeramente la consideración y provision para aquella parte de la población que constituye la mayoría, en contra de los intereses de cualquier otro grupo. Gran parte de nuestro elemento en Norte America ha tenido una idea peculiar acerca de sus derechos, creyendo que el blanco tiene la obligación de proveer para él, pero va gradualmente realizando la falacia de tal creencia, dándose exasta cuenta de que si ha de subsistir en la civilización del presente siglo, tendrá que proveer para si mismo. Informes de Veracruz tienen que ser coordinados en un mismo tiempo las fuerzas federales de la Huega y que pina el vazo que se habla para en comunicarse con el jefe las fuerzas federales, general militar, para enpondir las instabilidades. Indudablemente, el.blanco es muy escrupuloso en todo cuanto concierne a su propio estado económico, social y politico; el ha de invertir todo su tiempo cuidando de los suyos, aligerándose del peso de cualquier situación que sobre sus hombros recaiga, impulsado por algún retroceso económico. Nosotros, con conocimiento de causa, debemos por consiguiente esforzarnos con gran determinación y mayor confianza, con el objeto de proveer para la raza y su prosperidad en el futuro. Agigalone que la ingressione bivona a calce en La Rinconada quince milia, el este de San Marcos descende a Tijuana la botella, reciente que contiene el avance de las tropa hibernata de Veracruz sin la o pital de Mexico. Piden Entrada Per Humanidad La consumación de cualquier error por nuestra parte en el presente, ha de determinar nuestra destrucción económica y política. Inteligentemente debemos recurrir a lo mas intimo del espiritu de conservación y con gran entereza de caracter, descartarnos totalmente de toda inconveniencia, pues el circulo de acción en que giramos parece de dia en dia estrecharse más y más; no porque la humanidad intente arrojarnos al molino de la destrucción, sino porque otros grupos realizan la obligación de velar con gran celo por sus propios intereses. El gobierno ademán ha estudiado notiosamente la conveniencia de solicitar del gobierno americano que por espiritu de humanidad vea si es posible suspender la limitación del número de inmigrantes alemanos autorizados a entrar en los Estados Unidos. Se calcula que Alemania, privada por el tratado de Versalles de colonias y partes de su territorio, con la ocupación del Ruhr y el Rhin, tiene cinco millones de personas que no puede alimentar, vestir y educar delidamente. Algunos calculos elevan el número a diez millones y anuncian que va aumentando en vez de disminuir. La situación está teniendo, preferente atención del gabinete, que ha estudiado ya todas las posibles salidas para los inmigrantes alemanes y busca darles las mayores facultades para enigrar en la universidad. Las batallas económicas y políticas del futuro, serán libradas bajo el punto vista de conservación; todos y cada uno de los grupos de la familia humana, cumpliendo con un deber natural, lucharán por su propia existencia. No podemos, por consiguiente, culpar al blanco o alamarillo cuando ellos ignoren nuestros clamores. No es esta la época en que el hombre deba depender de, o pedir ayuda a su semejante; es simplemente la época de, individual o colectivamente y dentro de su propio circulo de acción: defender sus propios derechos. No puede haber duda de que la antigua pesadilla napoleónica ha desempeñado una gran parte duraniente el año último perturbando la tranquilidad mental británica. He aquí un hecho psicológico que debe tomar en cuenta cualquier examen realista de Europa. Cuando las tropas francesas avanzan la figura de un hombrecito rechoncho jinete en un caballo blanco tiene aún poder, después de ciento ocho años, para despertar antiguos temores y agitar molestias sospechas. Es por ello que las reiteradas declaraciones de los leaders francises sobre sus propósitos en el Ruhr han significado tan poco en las mentes británicas. La política francesa ha negado constantemente fines anexionistas. Examinada en conjunto, esa política ha sido ejecutada con extraordinaria buena fe, dominio de si mismos y consistencia por los francises. Y no obstante los escasos errores y excesos que han cometido como el apoyo dado a los separatistas del Rhin, han sido aprovechados por los elementos anti-françises de Inglaterra como prueba cierta de que el hombre del caballo blanco estará pronto cabalgando por el horizonte de Francia. A esta distancia parece haber escasos motivos para este completo error sobre los fines de Francia. Las acusaciones de imperialismo han procedido en su mayor parte, naturalmente, en este pais de partidarios de Alemania, que han estado dispucesos a aprovechar de cualquier pretexto para atacar a Francia. Habla bien deluen sentido de los Estados Unidos el que esta propaganda insincera no haya ganado terreno. Hechos económicos, falta de trabajo y la creencia de que Alenamia restablecida simplemente serviria para aliviar la situación, han sido la causa profunda de las divergencias britanicas entre. Inglaterra y Francia después de la giterra. Pero estas causas han operado merced al mito napoleonico y con su ayuda. No necesita recordarse que la amueza de una invasión napoleonica fue una verdadera pesadilla para el pueblo inglés durante años eneros. Las antigunas miteras utilizaban al francés como un moco para atenerizar a los niños, que se portaban mal. Como en la mayoría de los grandes miten-itas una grasa realidad detrás de su origen. Las anacotas y las frases y todo el extracción proceso que entran en la formación de un hecho o un villano nacional, intensificando la virtud o el viejo, acentuando los rasgos y simplificando un mismo estilo. Probablemente la amenaza habría nuevo naturalmente de no haber existido la de dichida amenaza de Napoleon III. Al cabo de cate- años es difícil comprometer la ap- viencia transcendental que este lenne honibreille, tan poco napo- leonico en su ingreso mental, tuvo los ojos beaten en toda su carrera.

El delegado español, sin embargo, alegando que no tenía instrucciones finales de su gobierno, reluise firmar, esperando que loaga posteriormente de acuerdo a lo que acheré el gobierno de Madrid. La nota sensacional de las últimas horas de la conferencia ha sido el esfuerzo realizado por Italia para tener participación en las sesiones, que Francia resultamente ignifido opionidose a el deseo el primer momento. España se alineó del lado de Italia sosteniendo contra Inglaterra y Francia su derecho a participar en las negociaciones. Se afirmó oficialmente en el Quai d'Orsay que los gobiernos interesados en el acuerdo sabian que los Estados Unidos declaraban que el tratado era adecuable para ellos. El hombre de la calle no vacilará en definirselo. ¿Qué es un periódico? Evidentemente, un periódico es un periódico. El diccionario de la Academia española os dirá que periódico es el impreso que se publica periódicamente. Indudablemente, esta definición no puede satisfacer a todo el mundo. Se llama bueno un periódico, ha dicho Ortega Munilla, cuando obliga a recorrerlo de la cruz a la fecha; cuando la voluntad que lo dirige corresponde a la importancia extraordinaria de los sucesos que al parecer no lo tienen, y aun en la última noticia pone interés, curiosidad e ingenio. Se llama periodista, ha dicho Juan Valera, el literato que escribe con frecuencia o a diario en un pliego o hoja volante que se estampa periodiamente y se difunde a veces por centenares de miles de ejemplares. Cuarto Poder, ha sido denominado, equiparándolo asi al legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial. Grimka le llama institución escencial dentro del régimen representativo. Labelaye, el foro de los pueblos modernos. Mailier dice que es un poder soberano, porque representa y forma a la vez la opinión pública, quit. bajo el imperio de los nuevos principios, es escencialmente soberano. Echegaray, en una de sus imitables imágenes, ha dicho: El periodismo es la trauma de las sociidades, es como el sistema nervioso por donde circulan las ideas, así como las vías férreas son los canales por donde circula la sangre de la producción, como el telefono es otra nerviosa del gram organismo, pero menos espiritual que la hoja impresa, que la rotativa laza por miles de millones en todas direcciones. Periodismo declines nosotros a muestra vez, es el portavoz de las gente, el que recoge las palpitaciones de los probios, el que defende los interes creados, el que debe amparar la verdad y la justicia. El arma más poderosa de los tiempos modernos, crea y destruye. Si no lubiese más lectura que la súa ella alberga un aliciente para que se abre en a leer los que no saben. El período ha consistido a vuelos a leer, ha intercambiado trujos en la política, ha abierto las puertas a muechos hombres de微米, ha acquired muechos veículos en las discisiones políticas, literarias, o lógicas, artísticas e industriales, ha estimulado a míos, alentado a míos, ha mantengido muchas virtudes v alguña civilización Proyectos Contra la Prohibición Absoluta The process has been a significant step in the industry of a data develoing process, as it is needed to provide good data for the development of the Webber.

I am not afraid of the world but here! Oh, where shall morals look for happiness or mental in you I look, sometimes, between the vanities of life and death. There is a pleasure of love as I maze in my bewildered mind. I should an earthly passion the way to happiness, blazing the path to joy, perchance. As I am being transformed from a stage of torment to one of happiness, methinks I wear a voice, fading tenderness in my ears and bidding me not despair. As the sign shines forth in its majestic splendor, my soul's deep voice whispers a song; a warm flush of feeling manlies my cheeks; a fond hand kindly rests on mine. Its touch seems to send a thrill from my pulse to my heart. I could not tell what change was wrought, but my soul's prophet voice whispers. "Thou art changed, O, thou art changed." The star burns on and it points the way where mortals can look for happiness and peace. Oh, it is fine that a blazing star in its heavenly refulgence should bring such consoitation. How regrettable they who died before did not awake from their illusive dream of failure? Arise, thou shalt not fall, for the morning star is bookoning thee to a land where none is doomed to drag the endless train of wearsome existence. Waste not, Prometheus-like, away, but take unto thyself the kindled boon as there could be a life: to which mortals can cling and spend happy years, for unto us in-born a Savior, who will take away the sine of the world. The memory of the fur-off past is gliding away, the mists of many years have dimmed, the drifting in a rudderless barge is ended. Ah, there shines the star, whose beams reflect on the hopeless multitude. They have caught the light; oh, yes, they have, for I hear their voices crying. "Take me home! O, take me home! Brighter! You brighter still shines this sudden star, sharper still, and more piercing was the cry. "Take me home! Take me home!" What is this new star, and for what can it be? A star that from its pinnacles come the many gleams that make the world, of sleep and sorrow a world of light and hope! "Ah, whispered a voice, "it is the Lord's creation—it is God's creation—it is God's mighty scheme—it is a vestige of His mystic ways, engraved on the heavens."

Our Saviour ushered in to save the world, to bring peace to this wicked world, but has succeeded in the task for which His Father sent him? Perforce, I must say "No." He calm and died to save the world. He proclaimed good-will towards men. Alas! Alas! His words were not heeded. Men are getting at each other's throats day by day; men apen the idea of love. What a world we have with no love! Day by day we hear the cry of "Peace." The shouts are becoming more and more audible, for the sufferings of humility are proportionately greater. The world is power-crazed, the world is bent on getting strong, even at the expense of suffering humanity. The world detests the thought of universal brotherhood. The world does not care to hear about love to all mankind. The world is getting to the point where it would soon contest the creation of certain unfortunate and oppressed people. Oh, Spite! Oh, Holl! I am on the verge of lapping into my former condition and praying God to guide me from this wicked world. Aye! There goes my last hope. It is in a movement which seeks to find a place in this sinful world for a despised people. I take new courage, for the movement has got the philosophy for enjoying life and happiness among a heedless people. Just as Christ was ushered in to save a wicked world, a sinful people, so is the Universal Negro Improvement Association ushered in to save a race and oppressed people. Ere now my thoughts of Christmas were as a joyful one, as a happy one. I always drank deep of its sweetest melodies. I always listened to the lisping tones, that filled our home with glee. In those days I longed for Christmas, for all, full well. I knew that heaven's blessings were poured on a people in order to purge them from their sins. But when I further remember that Christmas is synchronized with salvation, I feel hot to taste of Christmas, for it is embittered with a draught which is distilled into a deadly poison. My life's roses have vanished, my life's freshness has fled. The future has but one hope for me, the high soul within me has shed a holy ray and it has come as the sudden unfolding of a cherub's wing. Oh, let me beate beneath my salvation's pure wing, Universal Negro Improvement Association. For unto it I mean to cling so that when the wicked would start with its venomned sting to poison all the charities of life in the Western world, I would be safely tucked under the acquis of men who would preach the motherhood of man, the fatherhood of God and peace on earth, good will towards men. Behold, be! Even as Africa was the haven for our Saviour when he was persecuted by the wicked men, so shall Africa be the land of refuge for 400,000,000 Negroes in their oppression by heartless people. I pune to seek salvation in a lord that sheltered our Saviour when he was being maltreated by jealous men. Fellow men, follow the light of the new day. Follow on the path of the Upon the morning in the mosque, I met the Mastai gateway in distance, the tiny place that sheltered one who is in being persecuted. Also out of Africa, I feel the shackling around my body and shames that gird my foot. I feel the burden of the open weighing beauty on my shoulders. Yeah I love to think that there is a brightest world where bliss and beauty dwell; where no sin is entered to destroy the proper love of God's holy habitants. 'Tis sweet to fancy such a quiet, peaceful home, a home of salvation, innocence, parity and love. A place where gentle maids are seen, fair as the sun, with all that tenderness so sweet in woman, a land in which exists the fondest love. Behold, through the sweet star, I see Africa blooming with flowers and brilliant verdure; the great trees are thick with foliage; the mighty mountains tower in proud sublimity; the waters along—the banks of—the Nile glide smoothly amidst the verdant meadows or dash over broken cliffs, flinging its spray in high fantastic whirls. Surely it is new star promises us much. Let us truth and gaze upon the face of nature. All will be peace there. Cities will rise, None will be hyched. None will be Jim-Crowed. There will be peace, perfect peace, and good will toward men. RACE TRAITORS "The day of the problem is over. The traffic in human blood which would trade life for gold justly called forth the condemnation and contempt of the right thinking people of the world. "He, with the slacker and the traitor, forever will hear the denunciation of mankind throughout the earth. But what shall we say of the profiler who sold his race in this the hour of the world's travail? Who for place and self turned his back on his people? Who at this time, when all undermen are asking for their own, when the forces of Jehovah mocked for generations, and the righteous of the earth were for, and with the long suffering for ages, sold himself to the demon of injustice, prejudice and race hatred; and stood by mute, as his defenseless people were immolated in agony in this hour, when they expected fruition of hopes so long deferred?" — Cape, Town Workers' Herald. 3,000 Perish in Earthquake in South America BOGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 20.

Williams of Hampton Institute Tells Straightforward Story of Service of 1848 American Negro Soldiers—Race, Wine, Recognition for Patriotism, Efficiency, Courage—Negro Officers Make Good. BY WM. ANTHONY AERY HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 28.—The loyal and effective service of 400,000 American Negro soldiers throughout the World War, the excellent qualities of leadership shown by the 1,000 Negro officers who "saw things through" in France, the untiring and cheerful work of the Negro stevedores in laying the groundwork for combatant troops, the successful efforts which were made by white and colored welfare workers to improve the conditions of Negro soldiers in and near their camps, and the records of Negro combatant troops—this story has been told simply and in a straightforward manner by Charles H. Williams, director of physical education for boys at Hampton Institute, in "Sidelights, on Negro Soldiers," a 250-page book recently published by B. J. Brimmer Company of Boston. Benjamin Brawley, Raleigh, N. C., professor at Shaw University, has written the introduction, which states the problem that the Negro in uniform had to face in America and in France. This problem was a highly complex one and for its solution there was required the co-operation of many agencies. Charles H. Williams, because of his long experience in executive work and his insight into Negro character, was selected as a special investigator of conditions among Negro soldiers. With the approval and co-operation of the Secretary of War and the Adjutant General of the Army of the United States he spent a total of eighteen months in the United States and in France whiting their places in which Negro troops were stationed, with a view to getting facts and making recommendations for improving their welfare. "Hideights on Negro Soldiers" given in well-arranged order the specific information which is needed to show how American Negroes met the call to the colors; how they fared in their camps; how the Negro officers were trained; in spite of the numerous obstacles which were placed in their way; how the Germans attempted to influence the Negroes to turn against the United States; how the Negro troops suffered in France from systematic propaganda against them; how the problems arising from camp followers, especially women, were met and solved; how the "T" and other welfare organizations ministered to the needs of Negro soldiers, usually with great success; how the steyedores "carried on" ankle hardships and numerous discouragements; how the well-known 92d and 93d Divisions were organized and trained; and how the Negro units played their part in helping to win the World War. The concluding chapter, "Home Fires," tells the story of what was accomplished by the Negro soldier, who won recognition on account of merit and who showed his fellow white soldiers that he had an unfailing belief in God and a faith enough to believe that great good would come out of many evils and hardships. "One night," says Charles H. Williams, "before they went over the top six boys were in a dugout. After talking things over, one suggested that they say the Lord's prayer. Only one knew it, but while a game of dugo was going on in another corner the little group knelt and repeated the words, gathering strength for the attack that was to come before the new day. He hearing a sigh, noise toward the door, they turned and saw a major bad come into the dugout. "Let's say, it again, boys," he said, "it gives me more courage, too." Then they knelt again and 1924 is to be a big year in the History of the Negroes of the United States and the West Indies COME AND HEAR! COME AND SEE! COME AND HELP!

"Sidlighta on Negro Soldiers," according to Newman in Baker, formal Secretary of War in President Wilson's Cabinet, shows the presence of the race question and some if the prejudices and discriminations which grow out of it, but also shows performance of high duty by the Negroes of America. Negroes who read this book will be proud of the record it contains, and even, more scalable to raise the race by admonishing to the ideals exemplified by its soldiers. White men who read this book will sympathize with the struggle of the Negroes for a full opportunity at self-development and will realise the service the race has rendered in a great emergency and may be called upon to render again in some future crises." In the method-of presentation no attempt has been made to gloss over crises that existed. No attempt is made to be hugely critical. The guilt is stated in kindness, but with inclusiveness and with important facts and figures. Americans who wish to know what Negro soldiers actually did and patiently suffered, in order to help win the world struggle for democracy, will find in this coneise, interesting book an opportunity to secure information which could only be gathered by a thoughtful, courageous man who had visited the Negro soldiers in many sections of the United States and France—and always with an open mind.

Maeterlinck Refuses Aid For German Intellectuals BRUNSELS, Dec. 22.—Maurice Mac- kerlinck, receiving a request from the "Borliner Tageblatt" for a message for its Christmas number, which is to be printed in the interests of the stair- ing intellectuals of Germany, sent the following reply, a copy of which he gave to "Le Soir": "You do not seem to realize that I am a Belgian and that it is impossible for me to forget. How could I not remember, among other crimes, the edious manifesto of those intellectuals for whom you today ask my support." When Germany shall have repaired a part of the evil she has wrought I might. "I do not forgive, for there are some things beyond forgiveness. I at least try to throw a veil, which will always be transparent, over memories which will not fade into with my life."
