The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVI. No. 15 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 PRICE: FIVE GENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN GENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN GENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEGROES COOPERATING FOR BLACK STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S SUCCESS Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We are looking forward to the day when our first group of colonists will sail away from the United States of America for the grand Republic of Liberia, there to assist in the development of that country in making it one of the great nations of the world. Before we can successfully do this we must redouble our energies in securing for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company its first ship. The cry now is for ships, ships and more ships. Every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world shall do his and her part in making it possible to secure a ship by September of the present year. Subscribe to Black Cross Navigation Company Those who are loyal, able and ever-willing to answer the call of the Association are doing their best, but we want everybody to do in this instance. We want 100 members to loan $1,000 each to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 200 to loan $500 each, 300 to loan $250 each, 1,000 to loan $200 and 5,000 to loan $100 each, so as to enable the Company to realize the necessary capital to carry through its plans for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This is work in which we should all help. Banner Years for Association 1924 and 1925, as already stated, are to be the banner years in the history of our Association. We have already made plans which, when executed, will tend to improve the general conditions of our race throughout the world. We must now look toward our own industrial salvation, and this can be made possible by rallying HOPE TO HAVE SHIPS ON SEAS OF THE WORLD IF EVERYBODY RESPONDS, WILL HAVE FIRST SHIP IN SEPTEMBER AFRICA THE LAND OF THE FUTURE FOR THE BLACKS to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, as advised by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Ships to Link Up Commerce of World We must have ships to link up the industrial and commercial interests of our people all over the world. We must be in a position to remove our own raw materials and place them in the different markets of the world, as well as in our own factories, so as to develop an industrial self-reliance that will save us from the terrible reaction that threatens us in the industrial world. The Negro, if he must survive, must make efforts to help himself, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is advising all thoughtful and progressive members of the Association to go to Liberia, West Africa, where they can become a part of the industrial and cultural growth of that promising country. Not only should Negroes seek to develop Liberia, but we should, under the guidance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, assist in developing all Negro nations and communities. By so doing we will strengthen our hands in the great rush for the survival of the fittest. The day may yet come, and we are working for it, when the black cross, as a symbol of our merchant marine, will be seen on all the seas of the world, conveying our commerce to and fro. For this each and every one of us should work. There is nothing hard or difficult about it, only that we unite and make up our minds to help our own enterprises and to see that they are properly put over. Now is the time for every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and loyal member of the race to make himself a part of a great movement that seeks the salvation of all. Every Member Should Help Let every man in the farthest outpost constitute himself an agent for good to help in fostering the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliary, the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Those of you who can help financially, do it quickly; do it now. If all of us will act immediately, there is absolutely no reason why on the 1st of September of the present year our first ship cannot steam out of the harbor of New York on its historic journey toward the motherland. Send in your loans, of whatsoever amount, as per advertisement appearing in another section of this paper, to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A. Send it in now and let's get ready for the big day. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. These knights of the air are doing things; they are making history; and all the world stands on tiptoe. America is jubilant, because, for the first time in history, the Pacific Ocean has been cramped by air by three airplanes of the United States Air Service. If only a Negro were in the race, the representative of a great African commonwealth, the spirit of Hannibal in his soul, the phantoms of four hundred million black men urging him on! Some Negro nationals of the United States and England and France may show themselves hoarse, and slap their chests, and throw their hats in the air, in the amalgam complacency that these brave white men represent them. But it is to laugh. The majority of thinking Negroes in the world today will not be satisfied because the other fellow achieves. They want to be in the picture also so they rally to the standard of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with its slogan, "What other men do, Negroes can and will do also." The Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which the Negro World is the official spokesman, has done more to encourage and boost Negro endeavor and to instil pride in race than all other agencies and institutions in the world put together, since the. Negroes' forebears were shackled and herded like cattle in the fifth holds of ahtpa and brought to America and the West Indies and vicinity to furnish forth illustrious cognomens for President Lincoln and Queen Victoria—Lincoln, the Emancipator; Victoria, the Good. One, Hubert Julian, would be the Negro Lieutenant Smith of the Around-the-World Squadron. He has been touring this country raising funds for the purchase of an airplane with the avowed intention of flying across the Atlantic to Africa. His latest announcement is that he plans to fly around the world. He told this writer and a group of persons this wonderful news a few days ago. Julian styles himself "Lieutenant," and insists that he served with the Canadian air force as a flight lieutenant during the war. He is gibb of speech and can reel off Latin verses by the yard. He has jumped from an airplane in a parachute. He can drive an automobile, for, but a few years back, his occupation was that of "chauffeur." Ergo, he has a smattering knowledge of motor engines, their mechanism, their names and parts. But to get back to the projected flight, The Universal Negro Improvement Association would be glad if it could father the flight, if it could be Julian's guide, philosopher and friend. But it cannot. It was forced to reject his oft-repeated requests that the flight be conducted under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. This was done after an investigation by The Negro World. This writer, with the business manager of The Negro World, made a hazardous taxicab journey (a flighty Cuban, who conversed in Spanish with Julian all the way, was at the wheel) in the month of February, over snow-covered ground, to view and interview Julian's pal and plane at Hashonck Houghts, New Jersey. Our worst fears were, as we thought, justified, and immediately the members of the U. N. 4. A. were warned. Julian says on July 4 he will hop off from the Hudson in an airplane fitted with pontoons and head for Bermuda, his first stopping-place. This writer does not believe Julian will do any such thing. And, why? Julian, daring as he undoubtedly is, knows too much about the inexorable law of gravity. A Negro woman was recently engaged by a white woman who occupies a suite of rooms at a large New York hotel to do a day's work, house-cleaning, for $4.10. She presented herself at the hotel about nine o'clock in the morning and was told by one of the hotel employees in a position of some responsibility that "Negro help was not used" there. The white woman insisted that her "help" be sent up to her suite, so p," she went. Hike an hour later breakfast was ordered for the Negro worker. It came. She partdok. Half an hour later she was paying a doctor $$ for having brought her back to consciousness. She went home, still suffering. $1.10 out of pocket for having tried to earn $4.10 in an establishment where Negroes were not wanted. When will Negroes build and own hotels where they can find employment? LENOX-EMPLOYMENT AGENCY Formerly at 428 Lennox Avenue, will be located at 200 West 101st Street.

JULIANE'S PROPOSED AIRPLANE FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD WAS NEVER INDORSED BY THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION The Universal Negro Improvement Association desires to inform its members that it is not officially connected in any way with the projected flight of Herbert Julian to Afria, or around the world in an airplane, Mr. Julian expressed a desire to make a flight under the auspices of the JAPANESE EXCLUSION AND THE JAPANESE An Editorial Jiber Jibed by a Columnist Jiber. Who Is a Master of the Jibing Business By HEYWOOD BROUN In the New York World "A prophet, find, is not without dishonor save in his own country. Having failed signally to gain any heart-warming hatred for myself hereabouts, I learn that I have achieved magnificent success in Iowa. Frank Miles, the editor of the Iowa Legionaire, sends me a marked copy of his paper, in which he writes: "Broun is a clumsy ape of Heinle Mencken. We are proud that we have them both, along with some lesser lights of like alibra, on our neck. Every morning when we are at home and back out of our driveway to drive to the office, a fat, yellow little purp barks himself hoarse at our vehicle. We call him Heywood Brown." If Mr. Miles continues his habit of backing away it may be that the convenience of the target will cause the little yellow pup to forget the rule that a barking dog never bites. Speculating on the possibility of war between Japan and America, Mr. Miles writes: "If Japan were an free as the United States, if it cost as much to feed Americans, if they were Christians instead of heathens; in other words, if Japan and the United States were about alike, there would be no need to worry." Later, in the same editorial Mr. Miles succeeds in persuading me that he is quite correct in his countenance of radical differences between the two nations. "The Jap is arrogant by nature," he points out. "He thinks honestly that any Jap is equal to several Americans in combat." This is an evil trait of the Japanese. The American has so much thoughts. On the contrary, he honestly thinks that any American is equal to several Japanese in combat. But Mr. Miles is not yet done in exposing the trickery and pernity of Japan. "We once saw an American gumbot and a Japanese cruiser anchored about 100 yards apart," he writes. "After every meal the sea gulls awarmed around the American ship to gobble up the garbage; they never went near the Jap vessel." Still, this does not quite prove to us that the Japanese are a niggydaddy nation which must be awept out of the path of progress. The gulls may have been 100 per centers who could not thrive on anything but American garbage. FOURTH ANNUAL FASHION SHOW AT LIBERTY HALL Gala Event on May 29 One of the most important entertainments given this spring at Liberty Hall will be the fourth annual Fashion Show, given by the ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, with the kind cooperation of the matrons, babies and juveniles of the New York local, on Thursday evening, May 29, 1924, in interest of the mortgage fund of Liberty Hall. The cast of characters in the show roads like a brilliant social register of the names of early Ethiopians, Mme. M. M. Sharperson-Young is the originator of this annual contribution to the organization, which is always near and dear to her heart. Miss Marlon Wallace is a most efficient secretary, and the entire membership of the Court of Ethiopia are 100 per cent loyal to the principal. As a token of esteem and high appreciation for the always unselfish cooperation of the Universal African Royal Guard, under the command of Colonel Wattley and his staff, a part of the program of the evening will be a presentation of regimental colors to the guards with fitting military ceremonies. The Universal African Royal Engineers will come in for their share of, that gala evening, as they are in the role of the military escorts of Homam, under the command of Sol. S. A. Lord and staff. Many distinguished guests are already looked for on this occasion, and no pains will be spared in making this an evening long to be remembered in the history of the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia. Tickets are on sale at the office of the New York hotel, at the table at Liberty Hall, and can also be obtained at the door on the night of the show. Unless, you forget, a committee of the Ladies of the Court, under the direction of Miss Marion Wallace; Mrs. Hannah Nicholas and Miss Ethel Collins, have arranged to sell poppies, the flower of the season, to help swell the treasury of the benefit. If you are not wearing the "Poppy of Flanders Field" on Decoration Day, you will show a sign of forgetfulness of the supreme sacrifice made by our boys in the World's War. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 Universal Negro Improvement Association. The project was investigated and the association felt that it was not justified in endorsing the project, and, accordingly, the following notice was published in The Negro World February 16 and 23, as follows: A young Negro, with some experience in aeronautics, plans on July 4, according to the New York Journal, to attempt the crossing of the Atlantic by hydroplage, with West Africa as his destination. He is eager to attempt the flight under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All divisions of the U. N. I. A. are earnestly requested IN NO WAY TO LEND THEIR SUPPORT TO THE PROJECT, pending further instructions from the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. I. A. A DISCLAIMER Our-Mr. Mathews, business manager of The Negro World, makes the following statement: "In the last two issues of the New York Hotel Tattler, May 11 and 18, will be found a statement to the effect that 'a contract' as between one who styles himself 'Lieutenant' Julian and the Chamberlain Aircraft Company, was 'certified' in the presence of representatives of The Negro World. "My sympathies are wholly with the Tattler, but I feel it necessary in the interests of truth and as one of the Negro World representatives referred to, to deny the statement. "No certification of a "contract" was possible, for non" existed. The "piece of paper" exhibited by Mr. Jullian could by no stretch of the imagination have been termed a contract, since it did not bear the signatures of the supposedly contracting parties. A contract is not valid with one signature. "Mr. Chamberlain, whom we interviewed in company with a Tattler representative, appeared at times hopelessly "loot" on pertinent questions: This increased our anxiety to ascertain the facts, and after warning the Tattler representative we were not satisfied with the representations made to us, it was deided to issue a warning to our readers so afterward." CANAL ZONE RESTAURANTS DRAW THE COLOR LINE Four Hundred Negro Eaters to Open Own Restaurant and Draw No Color Line —Only Way Out To the Editor of the Negro World: What seemed to have been somewhat disappointing, yet something which was expected, is the sudden discontinuance of service to silver employees of the Panama Canal at the Canal Zone Restaurant, located at Pedro Miguel, Canal Zone, effective May 1, 1924. There are about five or six restaurants in the Canal Zone, formerly operated by the Panama Canal. These restaurants were, by some agreement, turned over to one Mr. Strom, a white America, by lease, who operated same on a somewhat cosmopolitan basis, in that over three to four hundred silver employees of the Panama Canal, employed at a point of, say eight miles, from the City of Panama, were permitted to purchase foodstuffs for their daily existence. This privilege, however, added materially to the financial returns of these restaurants. An laughed with the Negro, he apended his dimes wherever he goes. The privilege of feeding colored people at the Pedro Miguel Restaurant is as much necessary as anything else is. However, it is understood by the writer that the white people of that section of the Canal Zone kept agitating that Mr. Strom should discontinue feeding colored people at that place. Do you not think that we should get together and start a restaurant or as many as we need to feed the 400 of us? That is the manly way out. Let us get together and decide about it. A. W. L.

There were two of us, and about ten white passengers, in the bleachers as the train sped along the river course in the mountainside region of West Virginia. So intently was my unknown racial brother looking through a stack of newspapers and jotting down figures that I was unobserved by him—a circumstance that is' rather unusual when two descendants of Ham, of the male species, are travelers in the same Pullman. Having finished reading, I directed my attention to the apparent methodical activities of the man across the way, who was a keen-looking brownskin, of thirty-eight years of age, clean shaven and neatly attired in a business suit. When he was not copying flures, he was cutting figured clippings from the newspapers, all of which led me to believe that the gentleman was a "follower of the porches" and was getting his dose straight for an onslaught on the bookmakers, a fascinating game, but one that would break John D. Rockefeller if he stuck to it. As I gazed at this splendid specimen of our race, I became critical and wondered whether his sporting propensities were inherited or the result of the one-sided economic condition which chins many of us for life, regardless of our qualifications, to pick-and-shovel jobs or to other menial occupations of the "Here, George or Charlie" types. Relaxing from his concentration, and after throwing the mutilated newspapers out of the window, he arose, presumably to go to the smoking room, when his attention was arrested by my presence. Sizing me up at a glance, he extended a card and asked me if I would join him in a smoke. Exchanging cards and looking at his, I found that this man was the representative of the largest and most successful colored wholesale dealer in fruits and produce in the United States, who, with his son, a college man, had slowly and painstfully built up a great business; who had given employment to half a dozen or more colored salesmen and office work to colored clerks; truck-driving to a number of deliverymen, and car unloading to laborers. I had visited his place of business in West Virginia several years ago; had watched the unloading and storage in refrigerated rooms of several carloads of produce; had noticed the shipment of large orders to other points in the State, and the loading of large trucks of produce for local delivery. Therefore, I was delighted to have found a traveling companion who represented such a progressive and successful business firm. After discussing at length racial and political questions, the conversation turned to business conditions, and in answer to the inevitable query: "Doe racial prejudice interfere much with your business?" this efficient colored business man, who had been clipping market quotations instead of horse-racing dope, as I imagined, replied: "It is not noticeable. Our outside business is largely with mining and railroad companies and small town general stores, and these people are more interested in the quality of goods, prices, and prompt deliveries than in the color of the salesman, or the racial identity of the members of the firm. It is the standard quality of our goods, credit extensions, prompt delivery, and efficient courteous management that uphold the reputation of our house and permit us to successfully compete, not as colored men but as business men, for the very extensive demands for our produce. Business is business and people want exactly what they order. Ordinarily, if you can deliver the goods, you win, regardless of the color scheme. This "Just because I am colored" expression, while applicable to many cases, is being overworked by panhandlers who are waiting for some one to show something under the door to them. With our rapid, development it will soon be an asset to be colored, rather than a liability, particularly for those who know their stuff." Just then the whistle sounded the approach to my station, and as I grasped the hand of this hustling colored salesmen, I concluded that, instead of our condition being hopeless, it is steadily improving in proportion to our realization of the fact that success depends largely on one's ability to "Deliver the Goods." H. G. Wells' Birth Control Petition Is Turned Down H. G. Wells' Birth Control Petition Is Turned Down Attacks "Class Distinction" by Which Rich Women Get Advice, While Poor Cannot LONDON, May 9.—Limitation of the population is of vital importance, according to the petition which H. G. Wells, Miss Dorothy Jewson, Labor member of Parliament, and others of Mrs. Bertrand Russell's birth control committee presented to Minister of Health Wheattie, this afternoon. The deputation asked that the doctors at the government maternity and welfare centers should be permitted to issue birth control information to those desiring it. In refusing the request, Mr. Wheatley said that in cases where birth control advice was advisable on medical grounds the patient should be referred to private doctors or to hospitals. On hearing this, Mr. Wells spoke strongly on what he termed class distinction, saying that rich women could get all the information they wanted and that the labor government, as a democratic body, should not continue the former "aristocratic" policy of the health ministry. The Man Who Loses His Temper in a Scrap Usually Gets Soundly Thrashed No Gag Business Can Provail LET THE DOCTOR BEWARE "Every man who apologizes for, or defends Marcus Garvey from this day forth writes himself down as unworthy of the countenance of, decent Americans," says the editor of the Crisis in the May number. Thus, Dr. DuBois challenges the right of other men to their own opinions and arrogates to himself the powers of judge and jury in the destiny of Marcus Garvey. And the Surr asks, "Upon what meat doth this Caesar feed, that he hath grown so great?" Marcus Garvey may do his own apologizing when he offends. Men who are so minded will apologize and defend him when they feel justified in doing so, without regard to any judgment of the Crisis editor. Dr. DuBois will do well to write that down in his note book. He may also add that real men will care nothing for his judgment in the matter after such a challenge. The Crisis editor may expect his "decent Americans" to frown upon those who defy his edict and they may do it. But this will not weigh with men. Dr. DuBois goes a bit too far when he attempts, to interpret and control the views of others about Marcus Garvey or any other individual. If he is serious about it he may find himself a decided and forsaken minority. Men who do their own thinking and choosing will never permit Garvey or DuBois to do so for them. Some of the wisest have blundered often in attempting to standardize the thoughts of others. The Crisis editor is no exception. A man who loses his tempey in a light is in danger of being soundly thrashed. Sometimes he loses all sense of direction and strikes out wildly, beating the air with his fists. Anger blinds him. Often he overrates his power and weakens under a strain. The Crisis editor had better beware. He is approaching, the danger point. His challenge to men is a danger signal. Garvey may be a fool, a knave, a liar, a demagogue—even a traitor. He is also a human being. If he is ever justly entitled to a defense by his fellow men, Marcus Garvey will doubtless be defended as DuBois would be if the Crisis editor merited it. THY DREAM CITY By ETHEL TREW DUNLAP Lines to Luco C. Lennanji Ab Mullah, serving a life sentence at San Quentin, who, in spite of a perfect prison conduct record for fourteen years, is still held there. Where the beach has been lashed by the billow That flung thy wrecked bark on the shore. Hope dreams—emerald wave for her pillow— The wand that she waves is thine ear. She lifts it, and lo! thy "Dream City" Springs up for mine eyes to adore! Thy mast the mad gale torc asunder Transforma to its palace dome fair; Changed is the ponderous thunder To vespers that chime hours of prayer; And the gha-tly, white hands of the sea-mist. Have vanished for flowers that bloom there. There are paths that we tread in thy City, All bordered with foliage and bloom. Which sprang from thy woe and my pity, And deathless shall be their perfume! Palma for thy martyrdom suffegeed. Which Allah raised up from the gloom. Only the seh-shells you bring me Tell the sad story again. Only the old rongs you sing me Strike chords like the storm on the main. And Allah drowns both in His music Lest our City feel memory's pain. Ah! like the shell's plaintiff token We shatter when tired of its moan. The shell of thy sorrow lies broken. By Aliah's hand dashed to the stone: Rest on the Infinite bosom That set thy soul free from its groun And like the songs sweet and olden. That strike pleasure from chords of pain. He culls from our sorrows joy: golden; Reaps calm from the wrath on the main. So deem not thy, years on confinement A discord that fate struck in vain. Thy patience hast made thy soul lighter And free from bonds of this zone. And thy "City of Dreams" shall make music. Heard by thy resignation alone. 738 Ramamur street, Watts, Cal. (From the New York Daily News) When the United, British acquired Hawaii it was following national instinct. Hawaii is a gateway. In American hands it is a protection to the western coast of America. In hostile hands it would be a danger to the United States. Even at the cost of a war the country would keep Hawaii or seek to recover it if it were taken away. We would not shirk that. We rooted for Japan when the wonderful little people began to push Russia away from their doorstep. It did not seem possible that they could win. We hoped they would. They made such nice prints and had such pretty tea houses, cherry blossoms and flower habit, gelsha girls; odd little bows with a sucking in of the breath, and beautiful kilimones. They also seemed to have a nice little army and navy and Russia was pushed away. With Russia out it was Germany next for Japan. The Japanese never had an enemy they loved better than they did the Germans. It was Japan's misfortune that Germany had not confined itself to South Africa. The mistake of getting into Asia and then getting into a war which, kept most of the German navy in ports and nearly all of the army buay in Europe indicated that Germany was next on Japan's program, and out went Germany. Two of the big military nations of the world had been disposed of in short order. We are jingoistic enough to assert that any Japanese legions which touch California soil will remain there in hospitable graves. We believe that Hawaii will remain under the American flag. With that rating of the old cagle we become dubious. Japan—well risk this prophecy—will never attack continental America. If that is to be the battleground, peace between the two nations is eternal. We doubt that any issue between Japan and the United States would come to war even if the Japanese thought they could temporarily get the better of us in Hawaii. But in the unprotected Philippines we are the white meat. There we are number three on the list of whites to be advised that further continuance in Asia is regarded as undesirable. The Pacific treaty forbids us to make ourselves safe there. It would mean war instantly if we tried to. We cannot avoid irritating the Japanese. Congress, which does so, will keep up the military establishments of the United States. It will not give the Philippines their Independence, as it has promised. We give Japan, along with much offense, a battleground chosen for it. We insult the family, put our hands in our pockets and stick out the old ekin if we do not catch it right on the button it will be a miracle, of restraint such as Japan has not offered to public gaze for, twenty years. Maybe it's deafness. Maybe it's food looseness. Maybe it's murder. Possibly we ought to keep the Philippines, allow the Japanese to kick us out, take off our coats and devote the next ten years to giving them a liking we would not recover from in twenty years. Negro Child Labor A Grave Problem (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON—Legislation whereby child labor shall be regulated. is one of the gravest necessities which has ever confronted America's Negro population; for the future welfare of its children and their physical and mental condition, upon reaching maturity, will largely determine the type of citizenship which is to carry on the unfinished business of the present generation. A gilpimp of the work status of Negro children in the United States may be had in the following figures and percentages: Of the 12,502,582 children in the United States, 10 to 15 years of age, of whom 1,060,858, or 8.5 per cent, are engaged in painful occupations, 1,450,996 of the total, are Negro children of that age span, of whom 317,231, or 21.9 per cent, or more than two and one-half times the total per cent, are gainfully employed in American labor pursuits. Of this working group of 317,231, Negro boys constitute 191,547, or 26.7 per cent of their total, while Negro girls constitute 125,354, or 17.1 per cent of their total. In comparison with other racial groups whose children are contributing to the output of American labor, the above perceptions are astonishingly high. A stretch of the age span two more years, makes a working group of Negro boys and girls totaling 541,348, of whom 405,570 are engaged in agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry pursuits; 44,198 in the manufacturing and mechanical industries; 10,855 in transportation occupations; 57,844 in domestic and personal service; 7,072 in clerical occupations, and the remainder in miscellaneous occupations. Flogging Good for Indians From The New York World LONDON, May 14.—More evidence concerning the flocking of Indians by the British was given today in the libel suit of Sir Michael O'Dwyer, former Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, against an Indian who published a book attacking his administration. Major Gen. Sir William Boynon, in military command in Punjab in 1919, defended flocking on the stand. "In certain cases I think flocking in a proper punishment," said Sir William. "I agree that no man should be flocked for a trivial offense. But I ordered flocking of vendors of adulterated milk in Lahore." "Does this mean that this punishment is suitable for Indians and not for Englishmen?" a juror asked. "Undoubtedly," replied Sir William. ©Y PROF. WILLIAM H. FERRIS A. M. In the Hotel Tattler The U. N. I. A., being a human organization, is not absolutely perfect, and the officials of the U. N. I. A. not being Angels, Arch Angels or Gods, are not omniscient or omnipotent and are liable to err. For this reason Marcus Carvey or any representative of the U. N. L. A. must expect his statements and claims to be critically analyzed, and dissected. But it does not seem to me to be fair or manly or to accord with the highest ethics to shoulder upon the U. N. I. A. things it is not responsible for. Even though a man or organization may not be popular, the truth and only the truth should be spoken about him and it. Unmitigated falschools should not be circulated about the man or organization. Under the caption, "Head of U. N. I. A. In Liberia Executed," the Pittsburgh Courler for May 3, stated: "Monrovia, Liberia, May 1. According to the Liberian press, Milton J. Marshall, founder of the U. N. I. A. in Liberia, was executed February 21. The cause of the execution of Mr Marshall was not made known." I understand that the Cribbis and other papers contained similar statements. When Mr. Marshall, early in 1922 committed the murder for which he was two years later, executed, I was Literary Editor of the Negro World and Assistant President General of the U. N. I. A. When the news reached New York that an official representative of the U. N. I. A. In Liberia was accused of murder in Liberia, I inquired from the High Commissioner's office the Secretary General's office and the Chancellor's office his official status with the U. N. I. A. No one seemed to know much about him. He was not sent out from the New York headquarters, and was not on the payroll and I learned afterwards that he was an adventurer. He raised funds on his own initiative for the U. N. I. A in the South, and pocketed the money, until he was asked to show his credentials. He dropped out of sight, bobbing up somewhere in Africa. He persuaded a man named Edmunds, who had three or four thousand dollars, to go to Liberia. Naturally, as his companion had money, they were welcomed with open arms, and he became active in the local U. N. I. A. In a hunting trip, natives saw him stalk and shoot Edmunds in the back and native girls bathing around a bed in the river saw him drag a body, weighted with stone, and dump it in the river. He was arrested by native chlore, and sent to Liberia. He made a desperate fight, was conquered in the lower courts, the sentence being confirmed in the Supreme Court. Two days before his execution, and on the gallows, he made a confession of guilt. I am no longer an official of the U. N. I. A., or an official apokerman, and am not on its payroll, but I have some regard for truth and rectitude and justice. And I can't see how the U. N. I. A. should be held responsible for the activities of Mr. Marshall in Liberia. In the days of the popularity of the organization, from the summer of 1919 to the summer of 1923, minor officials sometimes overstepped the bounds of their instructions and a few adventurers claimed official relations with headquarters, when all they had was a membership card in some local branch or a courteous reply, subscription or donation. If, however, the Liberian had communicated with the High Commissioner General, who himself had taught and preached in Liberia, they would have discovered Marshall represented only himself, and sustained the same relation to the U.

But we ef the Universal Negro Improve- ment Association can not see eye to eye with those Negroes, because in those countries our ambitions are curbed, our aspirations are iimited and opportunities are dented us to climb the heights other men and other races have done. We can see clearly that there is on one place where this race can work out its own salvation, and-that place ts Africa, ‘The white man's civilization, Ike every other clviltzation, {a bound to fall.

The Enterprise reduces its ob- jections to the following questions: - : ‘We would like to ask the proponents of this project a few ques- tions :.(1) Since a large part of Africa is owned and controlled by European nations, how is it proposed. to acquire government and Habitation sites for six million Negroes? (2) What capital is to be “sed in the “floating” of the project? (3) What is meant by a “Back-to-Africa” designation? (4) How many Negroes, that are in America now, came from Africa? (5) How can one go “back” to 2 place from which he never came? . And, then, without waiting for an answer -to its questions, the Enterprise answers them much as we would and shall, in’ the following : : We would add, however, that there is hardly. any objection or difficulty connected with emigration to Africa by any-who may be moved by such a desire. Let those “prospects” who want to go “back” go right along, unless their own Government objects. And, by the way of encouragement, we might say. along the line of the thought of Bert Williams’ famous “Maybe”: When the Indians have gone “back” to their native country, then MAYBE we'll go “back” to Africa. ‘We make aaswer as iollews; (1) Liberia and Abyssinia are not owned nor accupied hy Europeans, and the-Universal Negro Im- provement Association is at liberty to seni those who want to go toveither of those free witions, Liberia has-been selected by under- | standing to be the immediate point of settlement.

When this sort of thing is carried far enough public opinion. takes the-place of law and legal process and chaos, indiscriminate pillage and murder ultimately, taking the place of lack of responsible ad- ministration of government. . — |. For example: Six white rascals, near. Spartansburgh, S. C., re- cently dragged a Negro mother of four children from her bed, ir the absence of her husband, and.gave her a severe flogging, because, they said, “she talked.” Near Talladega, Ala., a reputable Negrc physician was ‘dragged from his-home and severely flogged and warned to leave the town in thirty days because “he had white patients.” There is a limit to that sort of thing, and it is going to be reached when the Negro begins ta take a tiand in flogging the floggers. Die in doing so? What of it? - . General-, Michael O'Dwyer, former governor of the Punjab, is suing an East Indian in the London courts for libel, in a book he wrote on his administration. In his testimony Major-General Sir William Benyon, commanding in the ‘Punjab in 1919, defended flog- ging on the stand, believing it justifiable in ‘certain cases, but he did not think “any man should be flogged for a trivial offense.” When asked by a juror if he meant such pitnishment suitable for Indians and not for Engfshmen, he promptly answered, “Undoubtedly.” The only way to change such beastly but prevalent conviction is to shoot the life out of it. That is to say, it must be fronted with, war to the death. ‘Again: Near Georgetown, Demerara, carly in ‘April, a body of British soldiers was ordered to fire upon some. protesting farm workers, who were moving on“the town for the’ purpse of present- ing their grievances to the proper authorities; and, eleven innocent, unarmed people were murdered and many wounded. It is claimed that there was no justification for the order of. the shooting. In dealing with the black people the commander lo-t his temper and’ ordered them slaughtered, on the white man’s theory in dealing with | such, that “a black man has no rights thata white man is bound to respect.” And he never will have any until he begins to strike back as often-as he is struck.. It is an awful conclusion, but the white man’ everywhere is showing that none other will be respected by him and his. ‘i . THE RIGHT TO OWN PROPERTY WHERE YOU HE beautiful home which Mr. Frederick Douglass made for himself at Anacostia, in the District of Columbia, and which he called Cedar Hill, and which the Negro women of the race purchased and dedicated to the race as. a memorial and a shrine for pilgrimage, it is said, was owned by a white man who stipu- lated inthis will that it should never be owned by a Negro. Now it is, in a sense, the property of the Negro race. ow did that come about? A slave master might make a devise of that kind, but no Federal court would sustain it. The right of a man to own property where he can buy and pay for it, or to sell it to whom he will, is as sacred in our common and statute law as the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness.” Segregation laws of States have not yet got the sanction of the highest courts, and the expectation is that they never will. Dr. Emmett J. Scott and others have heen contesting in the courts of the District of Columbia the right to title in property that 4, white neighborhood association claims the owner was obligated not to vest in Negroes. and we have no doubt they will win their case. Why not? Our attention was called to a recent case in New Orleans where the right of a Negro to buy property in a restricted district was in dispute, and the fos Angeles newspapers recently: hinted in a roundabout way that young Booker ‘T. Washington, whe knows how to protect his interests, had a like case on his hands. “Sincerely yours, Johnnie A.

Murphy Did as Chief of the Tammany Hall Democracy — His Lowly Beginnings (From the Norfolk Journal and Guide) When Mr. Charles P. Murphy, chief of the Tammany Hall Democracy, died suddenly in New York city last week, it not only throw the Democratic politics of New York into confusion but, in a measure, the Democratic politics of the nation, especially as it affects the nomination of the next candidate of the Democratic party, at its June convention in New York, for President, as Mr. Murphy had set as the rounding out of his political fortunes the nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York as the Democratic candidate, and he so laid his plans that that may be the outcome of the work of the Democratic convention. Mr. Murphy rose from the lowest condition of boyhood and manhood in the Gas House District of New York, the toughest district of the tough New York in other days. He was a streetcar conductor and a saloon keeper before he became a great man in Tammany Hall. Strange that a man with such education and early occupations should in his own way strive to make Tammany Hall a morally decent organization, and succeeded to such an extent that when he died it was truthfully said that under his leadership New York has become one of the cleanest and best governed cities in the country. That is great praise, when it is remembered that Tammany Hall was once a real stench in the nostalgia of decent people, with the lowest standard of political morals in the politics of the nation. But our interest in Mr. Murphy is to be found primarily in the fact that Mr. Murphy was a real 100 per cent American democrat. He wiped out the race and color line in New York politics. All partisans of Tammany Hall looked alike to him. The Negro, Jew, Italian, all the many race groups in New York, and their name is legion, were valued at their proper rating—their ability to deliver votes and their mental and moral fitness to hold such offices of trust as usually fall to the lot of good partisans. He did not regard the Negro as a Negro but as a partisan. He gave us a civil service commissioner and representation in all of the municipal departments, with a large representation on the police force.

The example of Charles P. Murphy in dealing with the Negro in politics, as man and partisan, could be studied to advantage by the thoughtful Democrats of the Southern States.

Bagan of this city, which took place on March 36, the causes of interracial good will and economic justice lost a true and powerful friend—one whose life was devoted almost wholly to these ideals. In 1919 Mr. Bagan helped to organize the Commission on Interracial Cooperation and was its chairman until his death. When the Federal Council of. Churches set up a similar commission, he was called upon to head that, as well. He was also the moving spirit in the local interracial committee of Atlanta. To these organizations he devoted a great deal of time, and none of his salutristic interests was nearer to his heart. Mr. Eagan was deeply interested also in the problem of Christianizing industry, and was a pioneer in this field. As the principal owner and manager of a great manufacturing enterprise in Birmingham, he introduced profit sharing on an extensive scale and employee representation in management. In one year profits amounting to $200,000, which would ordinarily have gone to the stockholders, were distributed to the employees, over and above their regular wages. Shortly after the war, when so many enterprises were closing down or cutting wages, Mr. Eagan refused to do either, saying that the welfare of the workers was his chief concern. He put into effect also many other projects for their benefit, such as recreation facilities, sick benefits, pensions, etc. Mr. Engan's will, which has just been made public, is the supreme evidence of his sincerity, and is almost without precedent. It leaves all his stock in the Birmingham concern, amounting to about $1,000,000, to be held by the management, in perpetual trust for the employees, and provides that all the profits shall go to them. His purpose in this arrangement, as expressed in the will, is "to insure service both to the purchasing public and to labor on the basis of the golden rule." It is especially significant that in all the benefits of Mr. Engan's welfare plans while living, and also in the provisions of his will, the several hundred colored employees of the concern participate fully and on equal terms. In the light of the above facts it is not surprising that the death of this great man is mourned equally by both races. His funeral was attended by a number of representative colored leaders, and both races will participate in a memorial service soon to be held. A Chance A Week same opportunity that gave A. B.

STRUART-YOUNG (In the Gold Coast Leader) 6—Message My well of crystals my hive of honey; My cloakster pool, my garden sunny; My fence with pots all aglow. Life has no wonder but to know! My moon of gladness, my star of aplandor. My song of joy, my message tender, The crown for which alone I live; Love has no grace but to give! 11—Salil Selim robed himself in blue; What is that to me or you? Selim had his many loves; Sand has fill'd their orange groves! Selim built a watch-tow'r tail; Where does now its shadow fall? Proud my love and fair to see— Who would mighty Selim be? III—Meditation Star on the stream and moon on the meadow. How you solace and comfort me still! Breath of the wind through the codars yonder, Bearing my dreams above; But, ah! the deep joy in my heart when I ponder, On the beauty of her I love!

V—In Alca's Vale In Alca's vale when dawn was waking, I linger'd in the stream alone; And, oh! my heart seem'd nigh to breaking, At rapture of the lark's clear tone! In Alex now the night is falling; I hear & voice the gloaming through The nightingale, with song enthralling, Bears me sweet dreams of love and you! A PRAYER O Lord, with tender mercy look upon us For we much need Thy presence every day; In Thee and Thee alone we put our trust, So help us, Lord, and teach us what to say. We know that Thou art Lord and we adore Thee; Our praises all to Thee we sing with joy; Oh, satisfy our hearts, and may the world see There in a Lord Who would our souls employ. O Lord, with tender mercy look upon us, And lead us in the path of righteousness. And make our hearts feel that in Thee we trust, And to Thee may we all our sins confess. We know there lives a Jealous Lord above us. Who records our acts or good or bad. So then lot us to our best, the things that are just. In doing so we make the Lord good glad. Waterbury, Conn.

EMONEI CARTER Subject, "The Principle of Preparation" (Continued) Ps. 51:6 1. Well, then, the first fact for discussion which burs our path in examining this question of guiding principle is this: What is the hindrance in the human soul to a right application of the fundamental laws? That law has been already examined: under that law we live; by applying a right principle to life, the action of such a law is a process of advance to blessness. What hinders? What interrupts a blessed onward march, a good and heavenly growth? The answer, broadly, is this: The poison of character. We clear the ground by examining our answer. Now, surely above all things facts must be respected. I shall not need to urge that point upon understandings whose boast is that they are practical. All that is, is worth examination, and for no further reason than simply that it is. Facts are sometimes difficult to deal with; sometimes they delude or play us false; sometimes they act the part of a Proteus, and the unwary or the impatient miss the truth. To keep our eyes upon any fact until it agrees to surrender its secret is surely something. Common facts repay us, even if we are but lingerers in the doorways of those stately halls, whose golden keys are in the hands of science. We see the value of facts on a large scale: the majesty of mountains, the thunderous voice of the ocean, the dim immensity of the trackless leavens, these force upon us the truth that they are, and possess endless secrets of immeasurable interest, but in smaller scale we wake on to the same. The microscope places us on terms of intimacy with the undest insect glaning in the sunlight, and untolds before us the variegated rolls of gelvet in the minutest petal of the slenderest flower. Facts, however, are more serious a thousand-times, and sadder in the world of man. What world? Ah! you question truly. Man is a creature of many worlds. But man's great peregrance is to choose, and, therefore, the theatre of his most serious action is that whenceon he gives effect to his constant choice, by movement towards his fellow-man, and towards his God. Facts of lasting interest will be found in the moral world? Up then, and respond it. Else to the Angel of Apocalypse, and stand on some peak of the North Wind; lean over the battlements of the blast; look down on man. What do you see? Changes of empire, peoples, thieves. Those seem more accidents, more fleeting colors on a strong, abiding sea. This, what is constant? Ah! on wail, "Confusion and sorrow." If these multitudes are formed of separate lives, if in each life there is a world of thought, intention, will, which combine to shape it to its final end, then in that world below there works, it is evident, common person of character. Can you characterize that poison. Gaze on, at the vision of human sorrow, and you will name the chief evils, moral them by two names which are quite intelligible—Sensuality and Prole. All man may be reeled into two-sensational purity; the one is human, the other devilish; the one tears the spirit down through the senses, the other cripples the soul by faults of the intelligence, combined, they are the seven sprites of a human soul flees this from them to find a law what you have them." This clearly, "To give unbelied bent to impulse, spiriting or physical, as to lose or lower, or destroy the tone of character." Now, this is precisely what the demonic in the old world are busily employed in doing. Your scientific life has driven his hammer in a deep in the rocks, read a stray essay of the last unbelied speculation, and lossing his blood with pity and contempt for the poisons erred, for the losing hopes of generations of Christendom, arguer blandly, over his wine, a new process of creation, a new theory of human destiny, which, if it be not clear in any hopes of the future, dispenses at least with fear, and waves away the awkward nightmare of a God the judge of all. Your young man: full of life, full of hope, with the clear head and the warm heart, the generous impulse and the noble desire—where is he now? Ah, my God! the angels well might weep! You meet him again with sunken cheek and hacking cough; worse—with a mind hardened, a memory attained, a conscience, the home of spectres of murdered souls, and then a week or two how by, and you follow him in sadness to an early grave. Pride and sensuality, then poison character. Well, now come a step farther. How counteract this fatal poison? My friends, to understand the influence of the Potomac or the Rhine in shaping the settlements of the peoples who line the banks, do not view them merely as they pass, the one sweeping around the capitol at Washington, other pouring its volume of water by Amsterdam into the bosom of the Northern Sea.

Baptist Pastor Regains Vigor of Youth by an Easy Method to the heads of distant hills—the White Mountains or the Alps—see the slope of the watershed, watch the first beginnings, then track their increasing forces as they roll from their sources to the sea. Do so in the moral world. What is the account of the origin of the poison of character, the "whist" and "why" of its increasing power? If more accounts than one are given of it, which has the best claim on our attention and respect? There are, on the whole, two opposing views: two guilds come forward to lead us in our journey; the one is found in human unbelieving philosophy, the other in the Bible. a. Philosophers have, of course, differed much, as is natural in details, but in the main features they agree. Among them I choose a typical teacher, who was also in every way a remarkable man. I mean Jean Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau did not, could not shut his ear to the tragic strain in human life. Rousseau had a repugnance to revelation, and of him it has been said, he made it, like persons devoid of his genius, and of his special temptations, whom we of this generation have known—he mad it "a point of honor" to hate the Pentateuch. Rousseau thereupon was driven to offer some solution, of the beginning of all the sorrow. And such he offered. The original fault, according to him, was a departure from, a disloyalty to, the state of nature. Man, free from the restraints of civilization, was the pattern man; man delivered from the external evils of complex society was truly regenerate. An artificial growth of manner, custom, habit, government—this was the enemy which broke with its tyranny the human family; and to escape from the remaining bands of a half shattered "social contract" was to open the only door to the advance of life and character. But also! Rousseau was a dreamer, and the objections to his solution of the great problem are twofold-(1) Instances can be adduced of men, in a society untrammmolled by the sins of civilization, but they do not correspond to the ideal state said thus to be attained. The savage of the South Pacific is not the victim of the social bonds recognized in London; but is any more delivered from sensuality and pride? I trow not. And then (2) if, if the present experience is wholly against such a theory, no less is the witness of the past. History affords nothing like an instance such as is required. It is not an historical fact. It is not a present experience; it is a sad, but not a buseless dream. Such is a sample theory. It has taken many forms. (Continued in next issue) Five colored girls recently graduated from the Boston Clerical School, which is rated among the best in the country for its commercial course, including shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, the use of office appliances, etc. MADE vigorous again after being on the downside fourteen years'. Made 'young' again after he had almost succeeded to 'bring' which had come to him too soon. Made strong capable and happy again after he had given up all hope. This has been the joyous experience of the Rev. George B. Punkney, according to a recent statement issued by this prominent Baptist pastor of New Jersey. No 'glad operation' was performed; no expensive methods were employed to restore to him the physical powers of his prime, the Rev. Mr. Punkney explains. Instead, he says, he regained the vigor, vitality and ambition of youth by a simple method anybody can use at home, safely and secretly. This is the recently discovered korea treatment, the basic principles of which were developed by famous European specialists. "In the fourteen years of my decline," says Dr. Pinckney, "I tried everything recommended, for such cases—every operation and treatment a poor man could, or couldn't afford—and none brought relief. I continued to decline more swiftly each day until Providence brought korex compound on its wings. "I was naturally skeptical of korex when a brother told me about it, but an inner voice urged me to try the compound. The result is, I am back to normal. I am in as good shape as I ever was, although I had considered my case seemingly hopeless. Korex may have an equal in the medical world, but I doubt it. Countless thousands in my Race, as well as other races, are suffering as I did, not knowing that relief is within their reach." Strangely enough, an important ingredient of korex compound comes from Africa, ancient home of the Negro Race: European physicians say this substance acts directly and powerfully on lower spinal nerve centers, improving the circulation and producing a sense of new vigor and animation, sometimes within a few hours. Another ingredient leaf extracted in Europe. Others are prepared in America. All are combined in compressed tablets, warranted to contain no "dope" or illegal drugs. Stout Figures Laid to Teas BERLIN, May 11.—Five 'clock tea is responsible for: the failure of many German women to have figures conforming to the latest Parisian mods. Dr. Isaac Boas, Berlin specialist, declares. In German homes, in coffee houses and teashops, Dr. Boas says, "women indulge their appetite for sweets too much at tea time. Sweet cakes, cookies and chocolates of all sorts are eaten immoderately by women who probably fall to realize the flesh-building qualities of the food they consume while listening to Strauss waltzes and planning how to reduce their weight." —The first colored Republican Coolidge Club was organized in Boston. —There are those who believe that the referee has counted time on our old "leaders," whose chief asset is florid oratory.

In 1872, the same body took the following action by upanimous vote: "We recognize the seriousness of the question of the relations between the white and colored races, especially in our land. It is our conviction that the Church should openly declare its responsibility and its duty seriously to set itself to the task of aling in the solution of these perplexing problems by the application of Christian principles." "We believe it to be exceedingly important that our pastors lay this matter upon the consciences of our people in order that our relations with the colored people may be characterized by patience, justice and Christian love. "We think that our social service commission should be authorized, indeed, perhaps instructed, to co-operate with the commission on interracial cooperation in the South, and we ask all Methodist people to assist as they have the opportunity in the formation of local groups which shall endeavor to establish better relations between the races." The conference further advised the various boards of the church to incorporate, the study of race relations in their general and local programs. Equally significant is the attitude of the woman's missionary council, which heads the organized woman's work of the whole church as set forth in the following resolutions adopted in 1920: "Resolved. 1. That as Christians and workers in God's kingdom we accept his challenge to show forth his power to settle racial differences, thereby setting before the whole world an example of the power of Christianity to meet interracial crises everywhere. "2. That we set ourselves definitely to the task by the creation of a commission on race relationships, which shall study the whole question of race relationships, the needs of Negro women and children, and the methods of co-operation by which better relations may be brought about." In 1921 the council provided that in every local group an interracial committee should be organized, to seek a sympathetic basis of co-operation with leaders among Negro women of the community, to study the conditions and needs of colored people in the matters of housing, sanitation, schools, churches, etc., and to make a study also of "Negro achievements in literature, poetry, music, art and other lines of endeavor, that there may be sympathetic appreciation of the Negro's con- you a my werFREE!

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY 56 West 135th Street, New York City Supreme Bodies Take Vigorous Stand for Co-operation and Justice—Spend Hundreds of Thousands Annually By Interracial Press Service ATLANTA, Ga., April.—The attitude of the Southern Methodist Church on the question of race relations having been called in question, in a recent newspaper report, members of that denomination in this city point out that the Church's attitude is not properly be judged by the utterances of a relatively small group (as was the case in the report referred too, but by the statements and policies of the supreme bodies representing the whole denomination. These, it is claimed, are uniformly earnest, fair and brotherly, calling on the whole Church to study and discharge its duty in this matter in the light of Christian principles. For example, in 1918 the General Conference, the supreme legislative body of the whole Church, adopted the following: "There must be real sympathetic cooperation between the leaders of the two races. National, State and neighborhood conferences should be held, at which there should be frank interchange of opinions concerning traveling, housing, educational, moral and religious conditions; followed by an earnest effort to understand the cause of bad feeling and open friction, and the prompt and positive condemnation of all acts of injustice by whomsoever committed, whether white or 1716 E. 12TH ST. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1986 Dr. Lee's Tissue Mine Grower A new company that produces tissue of all kinds promotes all the new products of the industry and provides tissue for the medical profession. tribution to American life in these lines." It is pointed out that the Southern Methodist Church has for years been contributing to Negro education, and of late quite generously, 7,756,000 of tenantary money having been set apart as an additional fund for this purpose. It maintains a number of social service centers for colored people, appropriates thousands of dollars annually to supplement the salaries of underpaid preachers in the C. M. E. Church, and conducts two summer schools for colored pastors. It is believed that this record of sympathetic interest and co-operation should be allowed to speak for the church on this question, rather than the probably well meant, but ill-considered statements of any small and sectional group. Assistant President General Sherrill in Newport News From the Newport News (Va.) Star Last Sunday evening we had the pleasure of speaking to the men and women who compose the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and when we entered the hall in which the meeting was being held, we were struck with the fact that scattered about In the audience were men and women who joined the association when it first started—men and women who are just as enthusiastic now for the organization as they have ever been; men and women who have banded themselves together for the success which they hope and believe will come to the Negro through efforts of Marcus Garvey and those who are assisting him. Say what you will about Mr. Garvey and his lieutenants, they certainly know their people, and they carry with them a line of argument which, if listened to, will certainly touch, the heart of any live, virile, upstanding Negro. No Negro man or woman who will hear Mr. Garvey or his assistant, Mr. William L. Sherrill, can gainay that they are not preaching a gospel which is timely, instructive, and far-reaching, and whether they live to enjoy the fruits of their labor or not. If they can instill the doctrine in the race, there will be no possible turning back. We certainly commend the local organization for the loyalty they display and the pluck which they show in standing by their colors.

Make Girls Salute Cradle, Urges Bishop LONDON, May 13.—"If I had my way I would put a cradle beside the flag on Empire Day and when the girls of the schools came to salute the flag I would make every girl salute the cradle."

YOU POOR KID, WHY ARE YOU SO SKINNY? YOU POOR KID, WHY ARE YOU SO SKINNY? Don't your mother know that Cod Liver Oil will put, pounds of good, healthy flesh on your bones in just a few weeks? Tell her every druggist has it in sugar-coated tablet form now so that you won't have to take the nasty, fishy-tasting oil that is apt to upset the stomach. Tell her that McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets are chock-full of vitamins and are the greatest flesh producers and health builders she can find. One sickly, thin kid, aged 9, gained 12 pounds in 7 months. She must ask any good druggist for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets — 60 tablets, 60 cents — as pleasant to take as candy.

Member, "Allenworth Chamber of Commerce" After waking up from several short naps I concluded that I might sleep better if I had a brief session with a little cigar. Accordingly I doned my clothes and made my way to the smoker, which had been vacated by the weary passengers. Seated in the corner, however, was the porter, who greeted me with a cheery "How-do-do" as I set about to induce an artifice desire for sleep. "Wall, George," I said, after a few fragrant puffs, "it's pretty soft for you tonight. I guess. At least, you can rest up from now until six a.m., can't you?" "Not on your life," the porter replied, as he deftly sharpened three or four lead pencils. "But everybody's gone to bed now." I insisted, "and you won't have many bells to answer until morning." "Yeah, but that doesn't help me any," the porter responded, as he opened a small handbag and drew forth half a dozen account books, which were quickly followed by two bank books and some small bank envelopes marked for pennies, nickels and dimes. "You see," the porter added, with a look of pride, "the board of directors meets tomorrow night, and I have to make my report to the corporation." "What corporation?" I inquired, as I dropped my cigar in surprise. "The Enterprise Corporation," he replied, looking as though he felt hurt. "But why should you have to make any report to a corporation? You work for the Pullman Company, don't you?" "Sure, but I'm also president and treasurer of the Enterprise Corpora- # "He perter replied, as he entered a handful of change from the humble and began to spout it. "You can," he mildly after mentioning an entry in a book marked "Dutch." "First year, after the old gunt died, all of us my wife, daughter and son, rested that would never make it upon what I am able to make on this run; so we took their insurance money and started a little junchroom, bedchair and newspaper business. We got lawyer Jones to come up and we formed a closed corporation. My wife and daughter run the lunchroom and my son runs the shoe shining and newspaper business. You'd hardly believe it," continued the porter as he warmed up to his story, "but the very first year we cleared up all expenses and banked $1,946, and I never lost a day from the road. As it is now," he added, with enthusiasm, "Tom will be able to go to business school this fall and Mary can take up her millinery course; and it's mighty important that I have these books straight tomorrow night, because we may take up the question of moving to larger quarters." As I settled back upon the cushion, leaving the porter, to his books and bag. I smiled inwardly at the ambition of the happy fellow, and wondered if I could make any suggestion which might be helpful to him and the absent members of the Enterprise Corporation. In response to my mental efforts a happy thought came. "Say, George." I said, as he busily worked with pencil and paper, "the thing for you to do is to quit the road and put your whole time in on promoting the corporation." "Can't do that," he answered quickly, "because the charter strictly provides that 'until the net receipts have averaged $150 per month' for three consecutive months, the president and treasurer shall devote the major part of his time to his principal occupation of-Pullman, porter,' and so far only How I Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Near Sixty "I am near 60 years, but I feel as young as I did at 30. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once or twice a week. It keeps me healthy and strong and makes me feel young again." said H. H. Von Schlick, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea. Bulgarian Tea is a great blood tonic and everyone should enrich, refresh and improve their blood. Just a few doses of Bulgarian Tea and you begin to feel a change. Cary Smith has been so high go— the whist, January, 2001, February, 2001, March, 2001* established the happy porter. "As sure as I'm alive We go over the $100 mark for over three months, and I can lay off any thing I want to; but," he added, with a sly smile, "I'm going to stay on the road for another year, and tomorrow night I'm going to ask 'em to put th' sur- plus on some, new quarters, where Mary'll have more room and be more comfortable. I might lay off a work or two and give her a rest. She, more than any one else, has put this over, and I can see wibwe we'll have a real corporation in a few more years" con- cluded the porter just as a ring came from the drawing room. May Number of The Southern Workman The current issue of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) contains an important eleven-page article by Monroe N. Work on "The Negro Migration," in which he discusses the causes and effects of migration for the past eight years. A worth-white educational institution is that described in an illustrated article on "A Unique Negro School," the Harriet Beecher Stowe School in Cincinnati, Ohio. In another article its principal, Miss Jennie D. Porter, tells of the evolution of the school. "A Memorial to Negro Soldiers" (illustrated) is the Armory of the 369th Regiment, which has been completed recently in New York City. A short article tells of the work of a promising young artist-teacher, Allan Randall Freelan. Editorials comment on two recent deaths—that of John Joseph Eagan, a Southern white man who contributed much to better race relations in the South; and General Richard H. Pratt, friend and champion of the Indian. Among other editorialists are the "Education Commission to East Africa," headed by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones; "A Negro Forum," in Harlem, New York; and "The Tuskegee Clinic," recently held under the auspices of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society at Tuskegee Institute. There is also a short poem, "The Gift Beneficent," by Sarah Collins Fernandis. Negro Author Joins Allensworth Colony Situated in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley in California, is a little community, composed entirely of people of our race group. It is directly on the Santa Fe line with convenient means of communication with the outside world. Here Negro men and women are struggling and succeeding in the various industries undertaken. Into this wide-awake colony has come a genius. Of pleasing personality and force of character, he is drawing to himself friends. Already he bids fair to become famous for his book for children, "Brown Fairies." It is an original work, the like of which has never before been offered the reading public. It appeals to young and old allie. This young author is known as "Al Amin" to the literary world, his real name being F. H. Foster. The effort he is putting forth must ultimately bring success. Foster will not take as his portion failure. Japan Uses French Expert TOKIO (By the Associated Press).

Martin Johnson Describes a Paradise He Has Found in Africa, but Will Not Say Where INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION CIVILIZATION'S BLIGHT The Century Company has a post-card received from Major and Mrs. E Alexander Powell, now in Northern Africa, posted at Hellville, Island of Nossol Be, Madagascar. Under its superscription is the note, "120 in the shade"; on the reverse side is a photograph of some twenty or more white-clad, topi-topped backs along a verandah railing, the owners facing a door—the caption is: "Waiting for the bar, to open." And the message: 1. Be a loyal member by sticking always to the principles of the Association and defending its rights against the enemies of freedom. Where the native never labors. But chatters with his neighbors; Why work where clothes aren't needed And the kindly breadfruit grows? 2. Pay your dues and annual assessment regularly, so that the Association can have ready capital to carry on its work. Martin Johnson, explorer and wild animal photographer and author of "Camera Trails in Africa," before he and his wife (who shares and loves the life of adventure he leads) returned to Africa wrote as follows of his hopes for the new undertakings and his feelings about it all: 3. Read and study from cover to cover your Constitution, so that no one can take advantage of you by infringing upon your constitutional rights. "I have been home just four months, and as soon as I can I am going back. I know exactly the spot I will make 4. See to it that your local Secretary makes a monthly report of all moneys received and disbursed, and let him read the copy of his report to the Parent Body and produce receipt of acknowledgment for remittances, so that you can be sure that your Division is financial. LET'S PUT IT OVER for. It lies away out in the 'blue,' a good thousand miles' trek from Nairobi, in British East Africa. It is paradise, literally as well as figuratively. If it were charted—it is not charted, for so far as I can discover I am the only white man who has laid eyes on it since it was discovered by a pioneer Scottish missionary some hundred-gold years ago—but if it were charted it would appear on the maps as Lake Paradise. And I know of no place in all the world that better deserves the name. Only a few natives and I—and the animals—know where it is. And the animals and I at least, are not going to tell. All I will say is that it is somewhere in the neighborhood of the imaginary line that divides British East Africa from unconquered Abyssinia. I will not be any more exact than that, for I do not want civilization to enter my paradise. There are snakes in that Eden—cobras, adders and dreaded mambas. Though they are not many, they are deadly. But if they were twice as many and twice as deadly, they could not do as much harm as what we are pleased to call civilization. 5. See to it that no Officer or anyone starts anything by way of raising money or doing business or creates any financial obligation on the Division without the proper consent first of the Parent Body and members of the Division at a special general meeting duly and properly called. 6. Look out always for sharpers and self-seekers, who are always anxious to promote new schemes for their own purposes. 7. Put down at all times disloyalty to the Parent Body from Officers or members. 8. Pay no money without getting a receipt. 9. Don't loan your money to individuals. 10. Don't take anything for granted. You must be shown. 11. Don't go into anything you don't understand. "I do not want to say too much about civilization. I notice that when I speak my mind concerning its so-called benefits, my friends look at one another as if they thought the African sun had gone to my brain. So I will just say that six months of it are about all that I can stand. Then, I have to safari off to some country that is still God's country. 12. Don't pay your money to anyone except a duly elected or credited Officer of the Association. 13. Don't entertain anyone as a representative of the Parent Body except the person can show you credentials properly signed and up to date by President-General. "If there ever was a place that could be called God's country that place is Africa . . . I suppose everybody has accepted the myth of 'darkest Africa' . . . a place of dank, dark gloomy, fever-hunted jungle, inhabited by cruel,ullen man-eating tribes and stealthy, feroeous beasts . . . I found in British East Africa a place of sunshine and health. I skipped across the equator for nearly two years, and even when the thermometer registered 115 degrees in the share, I was not hot, for the air was dry, and we were 500 feet or more above the sea. And at night I was glad of blankets. Yes, British East Africa is a place of sunshine and health and beauty. 14. Don't allow anyone to come in your Division and disorganize you or interfere in your local affairs, except the person has authority and proper credentials from the Parent Body. 15. Don't buy any stock from anybody claiming to be identified with the Parent Body or any Local. We are not selling any stock. 16. Don't sell your property or anything you have without first seeing and knowing that you are going to profit by it. Look out and don't allow self-seeking Officers or members to sell the Organization's property to buy others, so that they can make a commission for themselves. "We are going back because we love the land and we love the animals. As for excitement, you may live in what I call excitement from the moment you first look out of your tent in the morning until you lie in your cot at night listening to the night sounds—the hollow, terrifying roar of the lion, the bark of the zebra, the ghostly laugh of the hyena, and the pad, pad of invisible feet." 17. There is no individual or Division so strong as the Parent Body, so watch out for self-seekers who speak against the Parent Body so as to be able to put over their little local schemes to the detriment of the members.

Un nuevo incidente que se adhádo a los que universidad por el telegrafa parácea dar actualidad durable y pintoría al conflicto de razas trasplantado a Parla por ciertos tuistas. Todas las noches se repie en los cabaritos y los hars de Montmartre la misma escena ruidoosa. Los viñajeros nostamedricas exigen que sean expulsados los hombres de color. Estos se resisten. Y los duenos de los establecimientos, interesados en conservar la clientela que más dinero gasta, ataban por ceder a menudo, dando lugar a protestas, ríftas y desordenes. La cuarta convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo será la más importante en la historia de nuestra raza—Esta ciudad será la escena de la gran reunión—Representaciones vendrán de los cantro puntos del globo—Discusión de nuestro programa industrial como punto principal—Uniendo las aspiraciones de nuestro elemento a través de los mares Las autoridades francesas, con muy buen acuerdo, han cerrado los cafés que consagraron las desigualdad contraria a las leyes, y en una nota tan energic como cortes acajan de recordar a los huéspedes el respeo que deben a las costumbres del pais que lea brinda hospitalidad. Aunque Francia no hubiera movilizado durante la guerra un gran ejército de ultramar, y aunque no recordara el apoyo que le prestaron las colonias, bastaria la educación y Jós principios que la han enaltecido siempre para que rechazar la concepción trasaltática que algunos aspiran a imponer en Europa. Vamos aproximándonos a paso agigantado hacia la celebración de nuestra cuarta convención internacional, en la cual se han de considerar y por ello legislar todos los puntos de mayor interes vital para nuestra raza. Bien es sabido que la única reunión internacional seria del elemento de nuestra raza, es celebraba bajo los auspicios de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. En ella no se discute partidarismo sino que sus representantes se reunen con el propósito de informar acreca de la condición universal que como pueblo nos afecta y legislar en pro del adelanto y prosperidad de la raza en general. Porque el interés de la aventura reside en la contradicción entre la ética del nuevo mundo anglosajón y la del viejo mundo latino. Decimos latino, ampliando el cuadro, para recordar que Francia no es la única nación que encarna con espiritu generoso el viejo pleito. Estamos en la completa convicción de que si la raza ha de ser librada de su actual condición, no podemos obtener esto en pequeñas secciones sino en conjunto; con tal motivo nuestra organización convoca nuevamente a los millones de nuestro elemento en norte America, en las Antillas, en centro y sud America, en Europa y en Africa, de manera que todos podamos cooperar en la labor por una causa común. Tenemos la creencia de que solamente por medio de la congregación del elemento disseminado, podemos ayudar a la minoria que convive entre otros pueblos, luchando por exterminar el abuso, la segregación y la opresión de que es objeto. España lo resolvió hace un siglo con el criterio más humano, mientras los anglosajones fomentaron las matanzas, hasta 1900, y en los Estados Unidos apenas quedan cien mil indios los españoles las prohibieron en 1700, y en la América española quedan cincuenta millones. En lo que se refiere a la esclavitud, esta fue abolida en las colonias españolas mucho antes que en las colonias inglesas, y el negro, que hasta en nuesros-dias es prisonero en el Norte, goza de las más amplia libertad en el sur. Nuestra cuarta convención internacional quedará grabada en la historia de nuestra raza como la mas importante de las hasta hoy celebradas, pues en ella han de ser presentados inteligentemente ante nosotros aquellas cuestiones de gran importancia que afectan directamente nuestros intereses generales, sobre las cuales hemos de decidir antes de continuar adelante hacia la dealización de nuestra aspiraciones. Esta no ha de ser una convención de papel ni en ella los hombres han de hablar de los labios para afuera; será una reunión seria y determinada en sus pdopósitos y no dejará de causar una impresión universal entre el elemento que concienteamente discurre, sea cual fuere su raza, su religión o su procedencia. Pero n ada seria más vano que creer en la eficacia de los antecedentes ó de los razonamientos para acabar en la América del Norte con la hostilidad de las razas en lucha. El odio está tan arraigado, que hasta en las Asambleas ultrarrojas, en los Congresos comunistas, donde se habla de abolición de fronteras y de fraternidad universal, los delegados de los Estados Unidos hicieron siempre las reservas más formales en lo que se refiere a los africanos. Europa, por su parte, tampoco se deja convencer por el proselitismo agresivo que evoca escenas de la ley Leinch. Las direcciones son completenamente diferentes. En Francia, sobre todo, donde la Academia Goncourt ha premiado el libro de un negro, donde Siki es el campeón nacional de boxeo, donde los diputados de la Martíneix interpelan al Gobiute y donde más de una vez admiramos en las calles, junto el ebano reluctive de un antillano integral, la cabecita rubia y frigil de una parisiense empolvada. Bien es sabido ademas que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra es una organización seriamente constituida y reconocida, que lucha no por una transformación de nuestra complexión sino por el desarrollo de mayor fuerza de caracter; ella es enteraments distinta a otras organizaciones de la raza por su sinceridad para con nuestro elemento. Tenemos la encencia de que nuestro puesto en el universo debe ser requerido y adquirido por nosotros mismos y ha de ser concientemente constituido; hemos de procurarnos un sitio permanente, una nación en la cual elementos de qtras razas no tendrán la oportunidad de maltratar, de segregar y de dictar, sino que se complacerán en respetar las leyes establecidas por la reflexión de su alto grado de principio humano, de cultura y de civilización. Resucitando los tiempos en que La Cabana del Tio Tomás (esclavitud) es taba de moda, algunos citan el dialogo conocido: Los negros van al mismo cielo que los blancos 2-pregunta el negro a quien acahan de dar una paliza. Naturalmente El negro como todos sabemos es una criatura humana que ama la paz, que ama la libertad, que ama la justicia y se halla siempre err dispósición de practicar la caridad; por consiguiente, el mundo liberal no puede menos que laboran por la realización de los grandes ideales, y como parte integrante de la gran familia humana hemos de colocar nuestros propósitos muy por en alto. Hemos de ascender doquiera otros asciendan y viviremos en paz cuando obtengamos to do cuanto sea posible para nuestra satisfacción y por ende para nuestra felicidad. Prefiero ir al infierno, porque no quiero seguir recibiendo palos alla arriba. Pero el divertido conflicto entre la civilización del Mediterraneo y la del Mississippi solo sirve para animar las fiestas montmartresas, y nadie toma en serio a los apostoles del nuevo kukus-klan, porque si los europes que van a los Estados Unidos se resignan a la ley seca, es justo que los norteamericanos que vienen a este Continente renuncian a reformar, aunque sea en parentesis nocturnes, las constituciones europeas. F. Delmira Sin embargo, nuestra organización es eterna porque persigue llevar a la raza a la adquisición de todo aquello que la humanidad anhela; para su satisfaction propia en los siglos de los siglos. El hombre no anhela comodidad y felicidad por solamente un dia; el desea perpetuarlas tanto cuanto dure su existencia. Por ello, laborando en pro detales realizaciones, esta organización da de nuevo la voz de alerta a los cuatrocientos millones de la raza en el universo para que cooperen a la práctica del programa y al éxito de la próxima reunión internacional de nuestro pueblo en esta ciudad, durante todo el mes de agosto. La maldad Es la Maldad una fuerza en la lucha por la vida? Muy al contrario: la manera más fácil de triunfar en la existencia es la buena conducta de los demás. Nuestra raza no ha sido la única que ha hecho esfuerzos sobréhumanos para escalar las gradas del imperio; otras razas en condiciones menos favorables que la nuestra actualmente, empezaron a ascender llegando a la meta de todas sus aspiraciones. El británico, esclavo del romano, hizo un esfuerzo para ascender y ascendio desprendíndose de las garras de la tiranía de su amo, y se elevó a la cúside del imperialismo británico que hoy dia predomina. Si no fue imposible para el británico en aquella época escalar las gradas del imperio, porque debe ser imposible para el negro realizar lo mismo en el presente siglo? Cuál es la dificultad que existe para el nacionalismo de la raza? Fué el nacionalismo imposible para el francés, para el inglés, para el aleman ó para el italiano? Entonces, porqué es el nacionalismo imposible para el negro? No tiene el los mismos sentimientos, las mismas pasiones y los mismos deseos? La respuesta es, naturalmente, afirmativa y con esos sentimientos, esas pasiones y esos deseos en no lejano dia ha de colocarse a la altura Debemos levantarnos diariamente con el firme propósito de conquistar almas. La maldad produce el vacio en rededor nuestro; la desconfianza y la suspicacia son fuerzas repusivas; la simpatia, en cambio, hace de cada hombre un colaborado ó cuando menos suprime en ella toda calidad de obstáculos. Cuando alargamos la mano a un desconocido; nuestro propósito de beber ser este; hacer de el un amigo más. Las horas que pasamos en sociedad deben dedicarse especialmente a conquistar amigos. Una sonrisa, un apretón de manos, franco, un saludo afectuoso, un obsequio mínimo hecho oportunamente, un cumplimiento discreto, he aquí las más eficaces redes para pescar almas, sin esfuerzo. El pescador de almas logra pron- to en un ejercicio una destresa inseparable. Asi como los donjuanes, mientras más conjuntistas, más poder de deducir adquieren para seguir conquisando, alil los pescadores de alma, estan el poesa fructuosa, aumentan de un modo considerable su simpatía, su don de gentea; la función cr el órgano. Se.je, pues, que aun delajando aparte la etica, un espiritu cordial, bondadoque, hospitalario, es un elemento incontrable en la lucha poi la vida. Sea dicho esto para los utilitaristas. Para los otros, para los que no consideran la ganancia como finalidad de toda acción, para los seres excelsos que, como Franklin, se preguntan siempre, al llegar a cualquier sitio; ¿Qué bien puedo yo hacer aqui? para los espiritus superiores que solo aspira a difundirse, a derramarse, sobre el difuncomo el sol, en oleadas de luz ¿qué recompensa mejor que la delicia misma de difusion? ¿Como debe hacecer el bien? se pregunta al divino Marco Aurelio y responde: Hay quienes después deshaber servido a alguien, se apuran a appartenir en cuna este favor. Otros no hacen esto, pero tienen siempre presente en su memoria el servicio que han prestado y miran a quien lo ha recibido como un deudor. Otros, por último, ni siquiera piensan en que han favorecido a los demas, semejantes en esto a la vina que después de slustentar los racimos no pide nada, contenta de haben producido el fruto que es propio. El caballo que ha andado su camino, el perro que ha ido a la caza, la abeja que ha acendrado la miel, y el bienhechor no ha ruido, pasan a ejecutar otras acciones de la misma naturgalea, como la vina, que en la nulexa estación da nuevos racimos. Anudo Nero. El congreso y la política Coolidge tiene ahora el indisputable derecho de consulerarse jefe del partido republicano. Su victoria en estado tras estado, en elección primaria tras elección primaria, en una convención tras de otra, ha puesto su designación en el mes próximo fitera de duda y le deja sin un rival que desafie su autoridad. Pero que es este partido republicano del que ha sido Coolidge convertido en jefe? Es un factor é simplemente un nonbre vacio? Es que el dominar la organización significa tener el apoyo de sus miembros? Estas son las cosas que al parecer Coolidge está tratando de averiguar. Especialmente desea averiguar si los republicanos del congreso intentan sostener al presidente como jefe de su elección. De aquí las consultas de la Casa Blanca con representantes y senadores, a los que se afirma que el presidente resueltamente hace la demanda de que voten sostener a el en cuestiones de política que el considera supremas. El espectculo que los republicanos del congreso han presentado durante la actual legi-latura ha sido casi sin paucelo en los anales políticos. Han procedido como personas sin espiritu y sin ideales. Aun antes de que los escándalos se produjan, y les dejaron en un estado de conneción y desconcierto, presentaban ya una aparencia de indisciplina, falta de vida y desaliento casi sin precedentes en visperas de una campaña presencial. Las pérdidas de Alemania Por la mano de un asesino Alemania fue privada de los servicios de su más capaz jefe liberal, Rathenau, hombre de visión y de fuerza. Por un accidente ferroviario en Suiza, se ve ahora privada de su más capaz leader reaccionario Helferich, de fama universal como dominador del dificil tema de las finanzas, que sigue pocos días después a Hugo Stinues, el principal magnate industrial del reich. Politicamente. Helfferich no era más sensato, que la mayoría de sus colegas reacuerdos; sus equivocaciones en la hacienda durante la guerra y después de ella fueron de indole política más bien que financiera. A el por lo menos se debe lo principal del mérito de haber detenido el curso de la inflación monetaria del marco papel por medio de la emisión del retenn-mark. En la grave discusión del plan Dawes de solución del problema de las reparaciones, su consejo habría necesariamente estado influenciado por su apoyo político de la reacución realista, pero el lado técnico de su competencia como perito financiero podria apenas haber sido discutido. Después de un año de negociaciones se han empezado por fin ya los trabajos de extracción del fondo del mar de la gran flota alemana, echada a pique por su propria tripulación en Scapa Flow, Escocia. El primer harco que se pondrá a flote será un torpedero. Los trabajos durarán dos semanas. El trabajo completo de extracción durará ocho años y culminará con el salvamento del findenburg. El gargo más constante y susti- nido contra la ley Veintedad desde su primera fase durante la guerra fud que estaba concebida de separadas al sentido común, a la sociología y a la ciencia de gobierno. Sus partidarias, de buena y mala fe, ignoraron los argumentos repetidos en todos tonos y compromisados en todas las formas. Llego el fracaso y en el instante actual solo los olega del espiritu y los que, deliberadamente, porque el interes les va en el ello, se obstinan en negar la realidad, no re- obtucen el terrible error. La prohibición ha producido en este país una inmensa ola de corrupción, de inmoralidad, de crimenes, sin semejante en la historia de ningún pueblo. En la base de todos los grandes crímenes de sangre registrados en los cinco últimos años esta la Prohibición. En la trama de todos los grandes abusos gubernativos descubiertos en los ultimos años esta la Prohibición. En cada escándalo, en cada delito, en cada irregularidad comprobada actualmente está la Prohibición. Al amparo de esta han aparecido numeros críninales, cuyas hazafas etan imposibles antes. La Prohibición ha degenerado en una verdadera industria ilegal, cuyos servidores son, por una calamitosa conjunción, el hampa de la sociedad y los elementos más sanos, más repreetables y solventes de esta. El bootlegger (traficante en licores) frecuentemente criminal de los más peligrosos antecedentes, tiene por clientes a ciudadanos freprochables. Esto, que todo el mundo sabe y se declara hasta en discursos oficiales es bastante, y sobrado para condenar en definitiva una ley que, pretendiendo corregir por procedimientos irracionales el vicio de la embriaguez de los alcoholicos habituales, ha introducido la corrupción, la imoralidad y el alcoholismo en millones de hogares que jamás, antes habian conocido lo que significaba ni siquiera el uso no ya el abuso del alcohol. Los que acusaban de falta de sentido sonuí a esta ley han acertado con terrible certeza. Y convictos de carencia total de sentido común estain sus partidarios, después de la nueva orientación que dan a sus actividades. Ahora resulta que los culpables de que la prohibición no se cumplano son los que pagan centenares de miles de dólares para sostener el tráfico ilegal de hebridas (todos americanos). Ni los elevadismos functionarios de Washington que se enriquejan vendiendo licores decomi- LET'S PUT IT OVER sados por el gobernio (todos americanos). Ni los agentes de toda categoria de las diversas dependencias oficiales actuadas pública y privadamente de cobrar dinero para permitir la venta de bebidas. Ni los millones de millones de ciudadanos que en toda la Union han empezado a beber con pretexto y sin ello, precisamente de puertas de la Prohibición. Los cupables son los extranjeros. Los bootleggers son los extranjeros. Los consumidores de bebidas son los extranjeros. De 110.000.000 de habitantes de los Estados Unidos, solo los extranjeros atentan contra la prescripción constitucional. Ellos proporcionan los cientos de millones de dólares que han converido a la Prohibición en la primera industria del país. Ellos dirigen las oficinas del gobierno que tienen que carrarr los ojos (según declaraciones oficiales) para que los liquidos prohibidos penetren por los puertos y fronteras y se dedicen por vias férreas y carrerones hasta el último rincón del país. De todas las acusaciones hechas contra lo sextranjeros, esta de los nuevos boxers de la prohibición en la más irracional y la más initiul. —La Prensa, N. Y. Sufragio femenino denegado Le corte suprema de Puerto Rico acaba de dictar una sentencia sumamente interesante en relación con el voto femenino. La decisión recayó en una solicitud presentada por inCIDADANA norteamericana. Sráz Bernard, que reclamaba el derecho de inscription y votación en la junta local del primer precinto de San Juan, la cual se la habia negado en consideración al sexo. Luego presentó análoga solicitud la seniora Benet de Newton, decidiendo el tribunal oilas juntas, hecho lo cual el tribunal dijo que la cuestion planteada era la siguiente: ¿Tiene derecho en los actuales momentos una mujer mayor de edad y que reuna todos los requisitos exigidos por la ley, a votar en Puerto Rico? El tribunal la decide negativamente citando la ley que dice: Todo varón, ciudadano de los Estados Unidos. deberá votar. . . según fue aprobada por la asamblea de la isla y por el gohnador. Las peticionarias habin alegado que desde el momento en que se convirtio en ley suprema de la nacion la construcción de los Estados Unidos, al in legítimo de Estados Unidos, al progreso congreso pasible adoptar legislación alguna que prive a una permuta por razón de su asexo del privilgio de votar en esta lista, em- linda que dice como sigue: El detecho de los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos a votar no será negado ni cercenado por los Estados Unidos ni por ningún estado por razón de sexo. El juez presidente Toro Cuevas, que dictó la sentencia, hace el siguiente razonamiento previo: Si la amnümeda es aplicable, el caso debe resolverse a favor de las peticionarias. De eso no hay duda. La cuestión queda así requecida a decidir si rige no la enmienda constitucional en Puerto Rico y ello levanta uno de los problemas más serios que se vió obligado a afrontrat el tribunal supremo de los Estados Unidos, después de la guerra hispanoamericana y que durante más de veinte años de vez en cuando ha seguido ocupando las mentes de los jueces hasta que fué, al parecer, definitivamente resuelto en el caso de Balzac vs. Pueblo de Puerto Rico. Luego pregunta sobre el alcance del derecho de sufragio: *Constituye el derecho al sufragio un derecho personal fundamental como el de que nadie puede ser privado de la vida, libertad 6 propietad sin el debido procedimiento de ley, que deba entenderse en vigor en Puerto Rico en la forma que prescribe la enmienda constitucional de que trata, 6 es uno de aquellos derechos que como el del juicio por jurado sólo regirá cuanto expresamente lo extiende el congreso a la isla, 6 lo otorgue la legislatura del territorio? Y concluye con la siguiente decisión: A nuestro juicio, cualquiera que haya sido 6 pueda seguir siendo la opinion personal de algunos de los jueces de esta corte, ese es el critero que debe adoptarse para resolver la cuestión envelta en estos recursos de mandenus. Y aplicándolo nos venimos obligados a resolver que el derecho al sufragio no es un derecho personal fundamental y por tanto que la enmienda en la forma en que aparece redactada no rige en Puerto Rico. Nuevos nubarrones en horizonte de la paz La hoguera parece que está a punto de revivir y lanzar sus chispas por todo el continente europeo otra vez, peleas y amenazas de hostilidades se comunican por el cable de varias partes de Europa, Asia y Africa. Según noticias publicadas por el London Daily Express, lo mismo Rusia que Rumania estan haciendo preparativos de guerra con toda rapidez y amontonando tropas en la frontera ruso-rumana. Encuentros entre losgendarmes francéses y los turcos han ocurrido nuevamente según informes ultimamente recibidos de la frontera siria al final del distrito sitio bajo el protectorado francés. Los españoles han librado un encuentro que durdios días con los rebeldes de Marruecos en el sector de Beni Resaud y las bajas de los moros se elevan a más de trescientas. En Alemania las cosas toman una aspecto algo más grave debido a la actividad de los connistas que han precipitado la buega de medio millón de hombres y se tene que aleutados por Rusia puedan intentar declarar la guerra contra el estado actual de cosas reinante en el antiguo imperio. Diese que está grave la situación en Alemania por la triste condición económica que tienen que atravesar los mineros en el número de quinientos mil se han declarado en buega y según anuncia toda la de Berlin, ese estado puede inducirles a cometer toda clase de desórdenes incluso la revolución armada si hay quien los apoye. El ministro de trabajo Braum salió anoche precipitadamente para la región minera del Ruhr an interceder con los huelgues para que reaunden sus suspendidas labores, según declaraciones del mismo; pero este viaje en lugar de calmar los animos los ha excitado más en cuanto a lo que a la paz de refiere. Situación económica y política Las mujeres en Rusia poseen actualmente todos los derechos políticos; las hay delegados de los soviets, juices, etc. Mas el triunfo de esta conquista queda reducido a unas pocas; la mayoría vive agobiada por una situación miserable. La suerte de las mujeres en Rusia, no tiene nada de enviable, sobre todo, para las mujeres que ejercen profesiones liberales. El pauperismo general en las ciudades, el precio elevado de los comestibles, ropas, calzado, medicamentos, ponen a la mujer en una situación cada vez más dificil. No hay medio de conservar un presupuesto estable; los gastos sobrespan a las ganancias, el alhorro imposible a causa de la depreciación de la noneda soviética; los impuestos son aplastantes; las pensions han sido suprimidas; la asisten- san familia "muel" tiene servida que se vene y se a las puertas "abrajar" brabajar.

Desde los tiempos más remotos el Oriente está reconocido como cuna de los aromas y la esencia, ye en su historia los perfumes tientan una parte importantes: son como un "leitmotiv" que acompaña en sordina el desenvimiento de la acción. Todos conocemos la maravillosa leyenda de la Reina de Saba, que al visitar a Salomón se hizo preceder de una caravana de tal manera cargada de perfumes que los muros de Jerusalén conservaron largo timepo su olor; y todos recordamos que Esther fue macerada durante seis meses en unguientes preciosos y recublerta de polvos perfumados durante el mismo tiempo, antes de ser presentada a Assuero. Los reyes magos, cargados de ricas ofrendas al Niño Jesus, no olvidaron la mirra, el incenso y el benjíy jui más tarde la Magdalena 'vertió sobre sus pies el unguiento perfumadismo que sus cabellos debian absorber. Mahoma, el profeta del Islam, afirma que el esprítu de Dios reside en el perfume y que de los pebeteros se eleva una nubecilla azul que escribe en el aire, arabesoches divinos, el sacro nombre de Alah! Y todavía hoy, en las estrechas callejas de los barrios bajos, se encuentra algún mencido miserable que, a cambio de la limosa, deposita en el portamonedas del generoso donante un pedazo de sandalo o de incienso, para que de las brasas ardientes surjan, por obra suya, las espirales olorosas del nombre de Alah!

Il importe qu'à cette Convention les Délégués et Députés arrivent à des conclusions heureuses—issue de nos délibérations parlementaires en ce qui concerne la marche en avant, enfin l'instauration de la Race. Cette Convention ne sera pas une sinécure, mais une réunion d'honnies qui donneront à la Conference un esprit de détermination et une importance sans précédent. Contrairement à ce qui pensent les autres, la Universal Negro Improvement est assurée que la position du Negre dans le monde ne sera nettement determinée par lui-même, elle ajoute, cette position une fois acquise sera pour toujours le trésor de la Race. Il est généralement concédé que le Négre est doué des sentiments très humains; il aime la paix, il est vraiment charitable; de sorte que, un monde à esprit libéral sera force d'écueillir favorablement le Négre darts la confraternité des Peuples et des Nations qui trav�illent pour justifier le droit et l'intérêt qui ont determinés leurs raison de vivre. Nous gravissons la montagne ou antérieurement, nos dévanciers ont gravit; aussi, nous reposons ou les vainqueurs dans l'épanouissement complet de la vie ont terminés leurs travaux pour le bonheur d'une humanité renouvelée. L'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre est prédestinée à une durée de longues années à cause qu'elle est appelée à restaurer à la Race son indépendance première, ce treur comun de Humanité. Actuellement nous faisons appel aux 400,000,000 de Négres de se grouper au tour de notre grande organization pour acheminer à une fin glorieuse le programme dont l'acte dernier est la rehabilitation de la Race Noire. La Race Noire n'est pas la première à faire l'effort dans le but d'arriver au zénith de la puissance dominatrice. Le Bréton—l'ancien esclave du peuple remain—n'a t-il pas, trandis qu'il gémissait encore au bas fond de son abaissement des esclave, tenté de briser ses chaines et de se débarrasse du joug de son terrible maître, jusqu'à ce que son evolution nationale il est arrivé aux hauts d'imperialisme d'ou, pour plusieurs siècles il domine le monde? Si c'était chose possible aux anciens serviteurs et esclaves de César de gravir l'échelle polité et économique, pourquoi certains de nos congénères ont-ils peine surtout à concevoir que le Négre du XX siècle est capable, lui aussi, d'attendre la même position et réaliser le même objectif que la nation ci-dessus mentionnée? Oui se trouve l'impossibilité et l'empchement au nationalisme de la Race? Le nationalisme, est il quelque chose d'impossible au peuple français? Est-ce chose incompatible avec le caractère du peuple anglais? Nous demandoins si le nationalisme est un trait dont le peuple allemand est dépourvu. Pourquoi le nationalisme est donc impossible à la Race Négre? Lg Négre n'est il pas doué des ménes sentiments, mennes ambitions, mennes aspirations que tous les autres hommes? Consultons nos souvenirs de l'Eypte, de Carthage et autres civilisations antiques, sans oublier la grande guerre de 1914-1918. C'est la classe travailliste des autres races qui a constamment changé la phase des choses. Les hommes de peine de la Race Négre feront la réhabilitation de la Race Noire et l'instauration de la gloire antique de notre chère Afrique. Pour le nouveau Négre, le siècle actuel n'est pas un siècle consacré à la philosophie, c'est l'époque des peuples travaillistes; point de place dans nos rangs pour des philosophes. Nous avons besoin de nos Hugo Stinneses, nos John D. Rockefeller, nos Carnegie, nos Henry Ford. Notre Convention de 1924 sera unique en ce qu'elle aura des conducteurs industriels, des hommes capables d'étabir un industrialisme négre. Travaillons pour le succès de cette Convention et pour l'évolution de la Race. J'ai l'honneur d'être Votre dévoué serviteur, MARCUS GARVEY. Votre dévoué serviteur, MA La Probleme de la Race Neuve — Conference pro- nemonie le 29 Février 1924, à l'Ecole Interprofession des Hautes-Études Sociales POR G. A. LE PINQUE BAJO VUOLAL HUOKEN L'Action Coloniale, Edition de Paris Comment voulez-vous soigner si le malade n'ose vous dire: "C'est au bras, c'est au jambes que j'ai mal". Il est de toute nécessite, il est urgent, d'accorded aux indigenees qui n'ont pas de droits civils et politiques, la possibilité d'intervenir par les représentants auprès du Gouvernement, pour discuter les problèmes dont la solution doit leur apporter un peu d'apaisement. L'assimilation intégrale et l'intervention auprès des Gouvernements par-des, deputés, le home rule ou l'autonomie; voila ces que nous posons comme des conclusions inclutables pour la solution du problème colonial. Au cours de ces conférences, nous avons discuté le problème de la propriété. L'indigene ne possède rien. Grâce au régime des concessions spoliartices, il lui est formellement interdit de posséder la terre concée pour cultiver le manioc ou le mais est enlevé aussitôt qu'un Européen débarque. Nous voulons que sa propriété lui soit assurée; il faut qu'il ait le droit deexploiter la terre et ses ressources. N'oublions pas que.c'est sa terre; le sang des soldats noirs a conquis à la France ces possessions lointaines, et la souur des noirs les féconde, comme celle de leurs frères qui ont défriche, laboure, ensencement, et fertilisé le sol ingrat de l'Amerié. Voulez-vous la série des carambolages: le Sénégal a conquis le Dahomey, le Dahomey a conquis Madagascar. Ce sont les Noirs qui ont conquis la Guinée, la Côte-d'Ivoire, le Soudan, le Maroc, et tous ces vaincus sont accourus en foule pour sauver leurs vainqueurs à Charleroi, sur la Marne, sur l'Yser, en Champagne, à Verdun, au Chemin des Dames, enfin à la seconde Marne qui ils ont remporté la victorie définitive du droit, de la justice, de la liberté qui leur est systématiquement refusée. Sans foyer, sans patrie, affanés, accables de souffrances et de misères, il faut que, sous l'ardent soleil des Tropiques, ils défrichem et arrosent de leur sueur un sol confisqué et reservé en aparmage à leurs bourreaux. Nous autres, Négres d'Afrique, nous elevons notre protestation indignée contre le sort réservé à nos frères d'Amerique. Hqte aux hbrares d'pretendus civilisés, qui n'ont pas encore voté la loi contre le chlage et qui martyrissent enconce quinze millions de nos frères! Que les nations, pretendus civilisés, s'interdisent la traite des Négres en gros après l'avoir proscript en détail, par la vale ou l'achat des colonies, plus de cessions de territoires avec leurs habitants comme celle effectuée dernièrement, en la vente par les Danois aux Américains, de Dile Saint-Thomas. Cest la forme la plus moderne, et la plus monstruée de la traite des esclaves. Puisqu'on nous colle l'étiquette d'une nationalité, nous entendons ne plus en changer à chaque traité, si ce n'est pour reprendre notre complete independence. Nous demaindons le respect de l'intégrité territoriale, et de l'Indépendance nationale des rares états africains ou d'origine africaine qui jouissent encore de leur autonomie, L'Ahyssinie, le Libería, Haiti, et Saint-Domingue, sont des preuves celatantes du génie organisateur et politique des négres, malgré le sabotage organisé par les nations avide de honquetes. Nous reclamons le droit de juger et d'être jugés. Il faut organiser un ponvoir judiciaire, et surtout mon réelanions le droit d'instruits. Il faut organiser l'instruction obligatoire, c'est le meilleur moyen d'assurer à l'indéme son évolution, son adaptation à la civilisation européenne. Developper l'Afrique au profit des Africains, et non exclusivement au profit des blanes. Assurer la liberté du commerce et de l'industrie. Voilà, en somme, les quelsques conclusions, les qualques revendications que posent les indigènes des Colonies. Le problème de la race noire fut posé d'abord en Amérique par l'extermination des Peaux-Roinges autochtones, ensuite par la transplantation des indigènes d'Afrique en Amérique, pour combler le vide créé, enfin conflond avec les problème colonial qui en'est la phase ultime, il est posé par la négation absolue des droits de propriété aux Noirs, par la négation de leurs droits civils, puisqu'on ne veut pas reconnaître la personnalité civile; par la négation de leur possibilité d'évolution par des mensonges, des calomnies, qui incitent à faire croire que la race est irremédiament condanée à l'inferiorité, à croupr dans l'ignorance, la brutalité, la violence, ce qui est contraire, non pas à l'expérience, puisque vous n'avez jamais toute de boune, fol cette ex- périence, mais à ce que nous savons nous augue que avons veu avec nos pères, nos mères, nos frères, nos noeurs. Oui, nous avons parfaite- ment qu'ils sont aussi des hommes. Ils ont en moins l'instruction, l'éducation, l'adaptation, à la civilisation européenne. Ils ont garde plus que nous, les vraies et solides qualities qui sont toute la valeur humaine; nous profitons encore de leur conscience, nous profitons de tout leur savoir, de toute leur expérience. Ils ont vécu dans un milieu simple où les sentiments humains pouaient éclore spantanement. Ils ne comprennent rien à vos complications, à vos conceptions alambiquées de la viel. Ils n'entendent à tous vos soucis, économiques, à vos tracassiers, à vos agaciers, à vos enervements; ils ont garde toute la simplicité, toute la douceur, toute la laje de vivre. Ils sont pareils à ces poissons de la rivière historique et légendaire qui descend du Massif du Saint-Gothard à la mer du Nord: le Rhin, fleuve à l'eau glauque, dont vous connaisse/certes l'histoire, et que vous avez souvent ensanglante. Les poissons du Rhin ignorent s'ils ont deux trois patries. Ils vivent en paix. Mains sage qu'eux, vous battiez depuis des siècles sur les deux rives; ces simples étres dédiagent de participer à vos querelles. C'est ainsi que nous faisons en Afrique, nous ne nous soignons pas que vous avez deux ou trois patries, ou que vous n'en aye pas. Nous souhaitons tout simplement, puisque LET'S PUT IT OVER vous êtes venus nous conquérir, que vous viviez en paix les uns avec les autres, et que nous ne soyons pas toujours appelés à truffer vos hectombes. Nous souhaitons que, vous nous reconnaissiez les droits du citoyen, les droits élémentaires de Thoume, et que, vivant de votre vie, souffrant de vos souffrances, nous apprionsant de vos joies, nous puissions être appelés à vivre votre destinie, bonne ou mauvaise, mais que nous acceptons sinceèrement, loyalement, fidèlement. (Vifs applaudissements). Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenon. President de la Ligue Universelle pour la Défense de la Race Noire. Message du president aux Chambres Le Parlement a été ouvert le 1 mai par la lecture du message du président. Dans ce message, le président reive que la situation financière entre dans une phase encourageante grâce aux measures d'ordre et aux pauvretes forces réparatrices dont dispose le pays. Il signale l'argument du rendement des recettes fédérales les économies rigoureuses, qui ont été réalisées. Famillecation du change et la hausse des emprunts biensliens. Il attire la nécessité d'une réforme complete des procédés budgétaires et la nécessité absolue de supprimer les autorisations de dépense extraordinaires en dehors du budget. Le président constate avec satisfaction que le Brésil entretient des relations cordiales avec toutes les puissances étrangères. Il déclare que le traité de Nessens continuait d'être la véritable charte politique du monde, le Brésil, qui en est signataire, est simplement le que quand il se levance de donner un maximum de prestige à la Société des nations. Au sujet des relations commerciales, le président affirme la nécessité de reviser les accords domainiers avec Féranger. Des negotiations sur Véchange de concessions domainées sont actuellement penduures avec l'Angélique et la Belgique, et le president expérience de voir sonvrir prochament des negotiations avec d'autres pays. Le president ajoute: "Le Richelle évitera par tous les moyens possible la guerre de tarifs et il n'applique pas le tarif maximum avant d'avoir proposé aux pays intéressés des avantages reciproques." La nouvelle loi concernant la restriction de l'émigration mise en vigueur aux États-Unis a comme conséquence une augmentation importante du nombre des emigrants arrivant au Brésil. Pendant les quatre premiers mois de 1924, le Brésil a recu trois fois plus rémigrants que l'année précédente, ce qui a obligé le gouvernement à demander d'urgence de nouveaux crédits à la Chambre pour préparer la réception de ces emigrants. Les plus grands contingents viennent d'Allemagne, de Tchécoslovakie et de Pologne. En mars, l'hôtelierie des emigrants, située à l'ile des Fleurs, dans la baie de Rio. A été comble et le gouvernement a dû acheter les terrains voisins pour agrandir ses locaux. Le Temps. Une accalmie a succédé à l'orage que menacait de s'abattre sur la vallee du bas Yang-Tse. Les troupes du Kiang-Sou, contrairement à ce que l'on attendait à la fin de frévrier, n'ont pas marché sur Shanghai ou les Européens avaient dejais des mesures pour sauvegarder les concessions et maintainir loin de la ville les engagements eventuels. Ce n'est peut-être encore que partie remise et le mois de mai peut voir les évements qu'on prévoyait pour le mois de mars. Cependant le Tche-Kiang, quoique occipte en partie par les troupes des provinces voisines, reste indépendant depuis que son gouverneur, le général Lou Yong Siang, lui a donné une Constitution propre. D'autre part, Lou Pei Fou, maître de l'heure à Pékin et protecteur du gouvernement central, essay toujours de rétablier par les armes l'unité politique de la Chine. Il a remporté de réels succès au Seuchonien; le 9 février, il est entre à Tchong-King, métropole de la grande province de Lonest; le 12 la ville de Tcheng-Kou tombait entre ses maus. Les-forces antigouvernements «koumintang» ont été battues au Houman et se sont refugiées au Kouang-Toung, vers lequel Ou Pei Fou entend tourner ses efforts. Sum Yat Sen, président in partibus du sud, se débâta à Canton au milieu de difficultés financières comme il n'a cesse de le faire pendant Tannée 1923. L'arrivée des troupes du Housan complique encore sa situation. Il y a beau temps qu'il a du renouer à l'expédition punitive contre le président de la République Tsao Koun, et la soviétisation échancée des biens de la province du Koung-Toung, pastiche des actes de Leine, n'a pu se réaliser parmi les commerçants chinois protégés par leurs chambres de commerce dans lesquelles s'est réfugié le bon sens de la rage, ce bon sens qui faisait dire à Renan avec un peu de méprise: "La Chine arrive vite à une sorte de bon sens médiocre, qui interdit les grands égarements." C'est bien quelque chose! Mais Renan, comparant les jaunes aux sémites, preit de mot également dans un sens spécial qu'explique la suite de son propos. "Elle (la Chine) dit-il, ne conunt ni les avantages, ni les abus du génie religieux. En tout cas, elle ne peut par ce côté ammeille influence sur la direction du grand concourt de l'Humanité." C'est en tous points la même idée qu'après primit sur les Chinois. Gobain dans l'USSR se fonçait des races, but qu'il convient: "Les théories philosophares et les opinions religieux ses haussons optimistes de l'incapable des latens, restent à l'amusement toute dégrant l'incertitude qui bien renue de têt et avec son habit de coton sur les dos, ne se soucia pas d'affronter le blat, des hommes de police pour la puissance glorie d'une abstraction." Tout cela est et le fait, mais si bon sens preserve les Chinois de laorie d'expédition qui est tirée la Russie, il y a une de quoi relancer le bon sens aux vents des plus difficiles. On Pei Tou ne peut pas encore givre avoir à execution son plan de campagne contre le Konang Toung, à cour des rivalis qui existent entre les chefs des armies gouvernantes pour le passage du batim fait au Sichuanien; en outre, il n'a pas obtenu de Touan Tsi Jianei, encore uleère de son fêche de juille 1921, Faide qu'il sollicitait. Enfin, Téhang Tso Lin, "roi" en Mandheourie, reste prudent sur la défensive et semble vouloir éviter tout ce qui risquerait de compromettre la situation très enviable qu'il s'est fait à Monkden. Au début de l'année, le président Tsao Koum lui évoira trois personages de marque pour connaître ses intentions à l'égard de Pekin. Il le recut le mieux du monde, les gardes plusieurs jours près de lui, veilla à ce que rieu ne leur manquait, mais les lui-saient retourner sans se prononcer si bien qu'ils reviennent aussi avancés qui étaient partis. Tchang Tso Lin reste donc uneengine pour Pekin. Il continue à exercer ses troupes, et les quinir d'armes modernes sang que l'on puisse savoir s'il a le projet de s'en servir contre le gouvernement central et si, comme d'aucuns le préendent, il vise à la dictature. Tout compte fait, il serait pré-mature de montre耐 d'optimisme devant l'accalmie d'a présent. Un récent télégramme de Hong-Kong, non confirmé, vient d'ailleurs d'unoncer la prise d'Amyop par les troupes de Sun Yat Sen. Au cas pourtant où la nouvelle serait exacte, fault-il en conclure que Ou Peu Fou a déclanché le mouvement contre lui, ou bien est-ce Sun qui, profitant des difficultés suscécites a son adversaire par des rivalités entre chiefs, dont noms avons parle à le premier attaqué? Nous le saurons bientôt. On voit en tout cas que si la conflit qui menacait autour de Shanghai n'a pas éclaté jusqu'à d'autres L'Opinion Nationale PORT-AU-PRINCE le 11 Avril 1924.—Le Président du Sénat a Mr le gérant du journal l'Opinion Nationale. Monsieur le Gérant: Au nom du Sénat, il l'avantage de nous en envoyer sous ce pli son Adresse au Peuple, votée à sa sécence publique du mercredi 9 avril courant. Je vous serai reconnaissant de l'insérer dans le plus prochain numéro de votre journal. Veuillez agréer, avec mes remerciements, mes meilleures civilités. Georges Sylviain. Adresse au Poule Concitoyens: Les Assemblées, primaires, constitutionnellement réunies dans les diverses circonscriptions électorales, le 10 janvier 1924 nous ont fait le grand honneur de nous élire Senteurs de la République. C'est le Peuple qui, dans sa souveraineté-a fait de nous ses représentants. A la date, constitutionnelle du 17 Juni d'avril, nous sommes réunis à la capitale pour l'exercice du mandat qu'il nous a conféré. Courtoisement requis de mettre à notre disposition le local officiel, affecté aux séances du Sénat, ainsi que les proces-verbaux des Bureaux de recensement et de vote, le Secrétaire d'Etat de l'Intérieur la laissée nos Messages sans réponse, si bien que nous avons du sieger dans une maison privée et vérifier les élections senatoriales en utilisant, la ou faissait défaut les proces-verbaux electoraux, des constats notariés, dresses pour en tenir lieu. Nous voilà, en dépit de toutes les entraves, en mesure d'accomplir notre devoir patriotique. Mais un dernier obstacle nous arrête : La Chambre des Communes. Je le 10 janvier dernier, n'a pas la majorité nécessaire pour ouvrir conjointement avec nous, la session législative. C'est une situation amoralne, pleine de dangers pour l'avenir de votre République. Au-si, notre Bureau définit une fois tome des Sénateurs George Selvain, president; Joseph Glemand, secretaire, et Pierre Hudicourt, se secretaire, n'avons-nous pas hesite à voter la résolution suivante : Resolution "Considerant que les opérations electorales du 10 janvier 1924, d'autres actes dressés à cet état, nous permis de constater l'élection que de neuf deputés, membre insuffisant pour que la Chambre des Communes puisse se constituer valablement." Considerant que la session législative ne peut convivir que par la réunion de la 4 gambre et du Senate, au cas où ils serpient pourvus l'image de l'autre de la majorité constitutionnelle, necessaire à leurs délibrations; Considerant que la Constitution fait, en parallele circonstance, au Président de la République Politique de convoyeur immédiatement les Assemblées primaires pour procéder à des elections complémentaires; Considerant que, depuis le 10 janvier de la programe amine, rien n'a été fait en ce sens; qu'il est ainsi porté obstacle an fonctionnement du Corps Legislatif, organe de la Representation antionale; Proteste contre la proclamation d'un citat de fait qui, préjudicable à l'intérêt public et attentatoire à la Constitution, est la negation de l'ordre légal; Ajorne ses travaux, en attendant que les Assemblées primaires puissent complter les elections législatives, la où des Députés et des Sénateurs restent à élire. Conteuxens: D'un bout a l'autre du pays, vous avez manifesté votre ferme volonté de mettre fin à la carence de la Représentation nationale, qui paralyse depuis trop longtemps le fonctionnement régulier de nos institutions. Le moment est venu d'aller jusqu'au bout de votre décision, en usant de tous les moyens pacifiques pour que la Puissance législative soit exercée, comme le veut la loi, par les mandataires de la nation. Votre arme, c'est le bulletin de vote, sanction de votre droit incoercible de suffrage ! N'ayez tous qu'un mot d'ordre : les élections complémentaires ! Et vive à jamais notre patrie Haitienne ! (Signe) Sandaire, F. L. Gauvin F. B. César, C. Honore, Antoine Télémaque, George Sylvain, président; Joseph Glenmud, ler secretaire; P. Hudcourt, 2e secretaire. A la république du prédiction de M. Goodija a décret l'ensemble les expédicions d'armes à destination de Cuba. La présidence en partie part, donnée les instructions cessaires pour l'envol de Cuba de dix axioplanes, en ce qui leur présence serait nécessaire pour réprimer l'insurrection. Aux nées nouvelles, la situation dans calme, sauf aux cavirons de Cisfurgos et de Trinidad. D'autre part, la légation de Cuisa à Paris communique la dépêche qui vante de la Havane: "Les troubles de Santa Claire ont été limités à cette province, et ils n'ont aucune repercussion sur le reste du pays qui est tout à fait tranquille. Le gouvernement poursuit les auteurs du désordre politique qui est d'ailleurs déjà presque éouffée." Suitant les télégrammes pervenus à Washington, la situation dans Ple de Cuba s'aggrave. Le président Zayas a quitté la Havane samedi précipitant pour la province de Santa-Clara, où la révolte grandit. Les insurgés sont au nombre de 5,000. On signale des combats acharnés et le gouvernement cubain a demandé aux États-Unis, de lui fournir des armes at des munitions pour réprimer l'insurrection. Le gouvernement americain a pris cette demande en considération et le ministre de la guerre a recu les instructions necessaires. On ajoute que la vente d'armes au gouvernement cubain n'est pas en contradiction avec les secret d'embarger signé hier par le président Coolidge. "car ce ce cas la vente d'armes est jugée nécessaire" HONDURAS Combats a Tegucigalpa Le Tempa Le chef du corps de debarquement américain au Honduras a informe le département d'Etat que les rebelles ont attaque avec succès à Tequigalpa néme un corps de troupes réguliers qui a perdu 60 hommes. Les revolutionaires ont ensuite pille la plupart des magasins de la ville et tue de nombreux civils, femmes et enfants. Le nombre des victimes s'ouvre au total à 140. Les cadavres n'ont pu être entrées et l'odeur qui n'est deage et inapproprié, la typhioide et la dentistere, citément leurs ravages dans toute la région. . D'autre part, le département de la maîne a été informé qu'un avion pilote par des révolutionnaires a joie des bombes sur Tequegalpail pliures miggons ont été détruites et un certain nombre de femmes cuient enfants ont été tués. Le département d'Etat a annoncé qu la requête des pays de l'Amerique centrale, M. Summer Wells, commissaire anglais à Saint-Domingue, a requi Tordre de se rendre immediate à Tequegalpail, pour ouvrir la coopération amicale du gouvernement américain en vue d'aider au régablissement de la paix dans la République du Honduras. On manque de Constantinople: Mardi soir, les autorités turques ont termine la fermeture des dernières écoles religieuses qui ne s'étaient pas conformes aux décisions du gouvernement central concernant les emblèmes religieux. Trente-litre codes, ont été fermées, 13,000 à 14,000 élèves ont été congédiés, ce qui cause une grande inquietude d'amies familles. Les directeurs des établissements saints et religieux avaient accepté d'enerver de leurs établissements les statues et les images saints, de supprimer les services religieux pendant les heures de classes et d'accepter Inspection turque, mais ils demandaient l'autorisation de conserver les croix dans les classes; les autorites turques ont refusé. Les représentants étrangers ont adresse, t'a dit information, une note collective amicale au gouvernement turc. lui signalant les inconvenients de la fermeture des écoles Le gouvernement turc a répondu en maintenant son point de vue. AU MAROC Abd. el Krim blesse On mande de Madrid à L'agneau Radio qu'un télégramme de Melilà aux journaux espagnols annoncé qu'un bombardement aérien a effectué contre un campement des Beni-Urigal, dans lequel se trouvait Abd el Krim.
