ONE HUNDRED A DOLLARS MO Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Today we make a universal appeal to each and every Negro of red blood. There come times in the history of a people, nation or movement when every one must unite to do for the common good; such a time has now come in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro race. African Colonization Plan To carry out successfully our African colonization plan we must have ships. For that reason the Universal Negro Improvement Association in March of the present year organized the Black CrossNavigation and Trading Company as an auxiliary corporation to secure a ship to be ready by September to convey our first group of colonists to Liberia. One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars more must be raised immediately if we are to secure the ship that we are now negotiating for. If this money is not raised in another two weeks we shall lose the opportunity of securing one of the best bargains for the Association and the race. If we act quickly we will be able to have by September a boat of 11,000 tons, with accommodations for over 900 passengers. Such a ship would be an ideal acquisi- tion for the Association to carry out its emigration program. Must Have More Money for Ship We want and must have $125,000 more to meet the payment; if this is not available within the next two weeks we shall surely lose the chance of securing the boat. AND TWENTY-FIVE ARE WANTED FOR SH MUST BE RAISED IN TWO WEEKS EVERY NEGRO MEMBER SHOULD RALLY TO THE CALL LOAN WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO HELP OUT DO WHAT YOU CAN NOW Universal Negro Improvement Association and other Negro Trading Company, Inc., $125,000 more in the next fifteen years perfected and the ship purchased. If you want this ship the money now. If Every One Acts If every member of the race will do his and her duty now by loaning the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company $1,000, $500, $250, $200, $100 or $50 for five years at an annual interest of five per cent, then we will have the necessary amount to carry through the arrangements for the ship. It is no use waiting to see. That PRICE: FIVE GENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN GENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. Q. A. TEN GENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES E THOUSAND HIP OF NEGRO RACE will not help us. Do what you can now. The man or woman who can help and refuses to do so now, waiting to see, is no real friend of the Association or the race. Raise Amount in Two Weeks What's the idea of waiting to see when your immediate help would assist materially in putting the thing over? Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and in two weeks loan the balance of $125,000 to secure our first ship. If we can raise this money in two weeks, then we shall have our ship for September. We can do it if we try. All those who have made part payments on your loan please send or bring in the balance now. Those who have not yet made a loan, please send in and do so today. Loan the company whatever you can afford, $1,000, $500, $300, $200, $100 or $50, but do it now and today. Wheresoever you are, as you receive this message, write directly to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York. Prepare for the Convention roes will loan the Black days, then the negotiation by September to carry Everybody is also asked to prepare for the big convention that will open next month. All Divisions and Chapters should send as many delegates as possible. Only financial Divisions and Chapters will be allowed to speak and vote on matters affecting the organization. Delegates coming from any Division or Chapter two months in arrears will not be allowed to speak or vote on organization matters. We must have our ship to complete our arrangements, and this will be if you send in your loan today. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York, July 1, 1924. THE SPOTLIGHT Julian and July 6 By Airplane to Liberia February and the Negro The Anonymous Dragon BY NORTON THOMAS Lest we forget. On July 4 Mr. Juban (no gun intended) will hop off from the Hudson River, New York, on his much advertised airplane flight across the Atlantic to the West Coast of Africa via the West Indies and South America. To be more exact, it is expected he will. Herbert Julian is a Negro. He gided to fame a couple of summers ago via a parachutical landing in the heart of Harlem, New York. He is young, ambitious and daring. Would that Julian's skill as an airman nearly equalled his daring. From America to Liberia by airlift and a love Negro in the airplane. What a boost for Negro stock! A glorious failure would be as epochal, as soul-stirring, as complete success itself. What will the outcome be? The writer could wish that the plane, fitted with floats, was not now beached high and dry on dusty ground, in Nature's hangar, exposed to the wind and the rain, in 1938 street, New York City, to wilt, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, Labelled "Ethiopia," "The Gift of the Negro Race," the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green on its tail, the tri-color synonym for Negro aspiration, it is the beheld of all beholders. Children pause in their play to pay admiring tribute; grown-ups, fresh from toil, gaze in gratification; they congregate all sorts and conditions of men, discussing the chances of success. But far better were it, don't you think, on the flying fields of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, where it first saw the light of day, with Julian seated behind the controls, undergoing a rigid preparatory test. Yes, Julian, the eyes of all the world of Negroes are trained, on you. Something tells me you will win. Let us know the exact hour when you will skim the Hudson and soar into the nickle air, and we shall be present in our thousands. And as you head for Bermuda, your first stopping place, is it not, we shall out-thrick the Democratic National Convention. No Ku Klux bedlam will this be: no organised demonstration for a favorite sent; but the spontaneous outpourings of a people who are anxious to demonstrate to a wicked world that what other men can do the Negro can also do. Forward and overhead and onward. And may the good ship Ethiopia never falter until you come to rest on Liberia's strand, a "Negro World" of the current week and a dispatch from Marcus Garvey to President King in your pocket. Politics is in the air. New York fairly recks with it. You can't escape it even if you hailed a passing taxable and sought escape to the Boston Post road, for "Al Smith" is an additional license plate on cabs and cars. And as you pay your fare, and, dismissing your taxi man, seek the woods, your homefactor will call you back to ask "What do you think of A1?" Like every one else, the Negro is all agon with excitement. In his room is a chart, a thing of graphs, on which he registers every Madison Square Garden movement of William Jennings Bryan. In his sleep he sees Smith and McAdoo, in Olympic combat, and yells out. In the detritum of the nervous system of his long-suffering spouse: "Twenteth ballot." Smith leads." He reads of the near plot over the Ku Klux plank, and is shocked over the behavior of the pick of the nation. But that white Democracy should shrink from gaming in its platform an organization that names him as a nuisance ficks him but little. He is but faintly concerned with HIS problem—is the average Negro voter. Dollars, the vision of dollars that will glow in the fall, holds him in thrall: Politics. Republicans or Democrats, what promise of better conditions, of equity and fair dealing do they offer the Negro? Only the negro postal employees, as things—snow stand, should bother to vote. Revenge is sweet, it's said, and they are determined to be revenged on Coolidge. Radical Deputies Wear Queer Costumes PARIS, June 28 (Associated Press). The Socialist wing of Parliament brought into the Chamber of Deputies several radicals who seem determined to distinguish themselves by odd costumes. Andre Marty, one-time candidate of the Communists, who has appeared in a handsome suit built on the lines of a workingman's Sunday-go-to-meeting garb, now wears a distinctly low-brow cap and khaki shirt without a necktie. He has been spending his odd moments parading before the Chamber building, occasionally receiving plaudits from his supporters. The Breton Deputy, Cadie, appearing in the embroidered blouse with lego-of-mutton sleeves, beribboned hat and garish sash of his native costume, has been the envoy of all his frock-coat. I brebren since the hot weather set in. The Negro Deputy, Diagne, from senegal, approached Cadie the other day and said: "You are in luck, being able to wear your ancestor's costume. Men Dieu! If I wore mine they wouldn't let me in the chamber." The Race Scattered in Alien Lands, He Thinks to Prepare for the Rehabilitation and Redemption of the Fatherland AFRICA CALLS TO OWN (In the Gold Coast Leader) According to some, once in the life of an individual or of a nation the opportunity comes which, taken at the flood, leads to success. Here and there; now and again, arises a Peter the Great who out of raw materials, as if by magic, causes cities to spring out of marches, or a Bismarck or a Cromwell who compels 'the destiny' of a nation. To me it seems that the hour of opportunity has struck for Liberla, and that she should look neither to the left nor to the right, but go straight forward in the path of duty to the great Ethiopian race. It was not for naught that three hundred years ago in the history of our race a wise Providence permitted the enslavement of African peoples in America and in the islands of the sea. It was to focus into a solid group one portion of our people, the African abroad, with like disadvantages, like cares, like hopes, like aspirations, articulate in a common language which the African at home might hear and understand. In the fullness of time the same wise Providence, having formally brought about the emancipation of the African in foreign lands, bade him turn his attention in the direction of the fatherland in the pioneer enterprise of the founding of Liberia. The material was of the roughest and the simplest. The colonists were thrown, upon their own resources from the start, among an aboriginal people who could be moulded into useful citizens by wise contact and sympathetic intercourse. Live on Die. In the meanwhile, such conditions prevailed in the land of his axile that the African abroad was made to feel that, though outwardly emancipated, he was yet a slave in soul, and foreign really to all that made for the freedom of his manhood. A time had come when he must strike out for himself, when he must truly live or die. And, strangely, in this soul craving he was not alone, for the same yearning had seized upon the soul of the African at home, and never before in the history of a people had an appeal so farvent for the upward move gone up to God. And here comes in the opportunity of Liberia. Liberia, an experiment, Liberia, the Lone Star, had at last become the great need of a race seeking for expression, the central fact of a people's nationhood. Does Liberia understand this, does she realize her deity, is there a Cromwell or a Blairmark to urge her to the accomplishment of her giant yet blessed task? And yet the path marked is not such a difficult one. It is like soul growth which demands no effort, but depends upon simple adjustment to conditions. By and under the constitution of Liberia she is a sovereign state in the modern acceptance of the phrase with rights which foreign nations are bound to respect. She is the master of her fate and can choose wisely with none to interfere. What more natural than that she should elect to open her arms to Ethiopia's exiled children, yearning for motherhood, yearning to return to the arms of mother Africa? The whole continent turns a lingering look toward the "Lone Star" and is anxious what her attitude will be. Will she receive her children in the name of Africa, or will she ruthlessly thrust them aside? No, I believe she will realize her responsibility, her duty, and respond. There is work for Africans on African soil to be done by Africans. Africa is the natural home of the African by Divine right, and it is but fair that that much shall be conceded. Is it in vain that in the first quarter of the twentieth century both Diamond Diggers (From Johannesburg International) The people at Klippfontein diamond dingings were living in abject poverty, their shelter being empty grain bags stretched on poles. One child had a single garment made of yellow tobacco bags sewn together, is the statement of three people who visited these fields in the course of a 3,000-mile tramp in search of work.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1924 U. N. I. A. Delegation to Liberia in Company With Native Chiefs LAND ALLOTMENT SCHEME IN ISLE OF ANTIGUA, W. I It Would Also Be Good for All the West Indian Islands and Stay the Depopulation Movement In recent issues of "The Antigua Magnet" a land allotment scheme sponsored by the Antigua government is published for general information. The government is disposing of crown lands at the Wallings and Pleadcity estates in lots of from one to four acres to small holders at prices ranging from £4 to £10 per acre, according to the quality of the land, and the payment of the purchase price may be made in installments covering a period of ten years. This is a distinct departure from the beaten path and we wholeheartedly congratulate the Antigua government on their action and hope that its intention to permanently benefit the industrious and thrifty of the people will be realized. This is a good lead set us and we are sure, if the possibility of the introduction of such a scheme was made in the presidency of St. Kitts-Nevis, the governor would not hesitate to recommend it to the officials at Downing Street. We cheerfully recommend a similar scheme to his honor the administrator. We know that the suggestion appears superficial in the face of the knowledge that there are no crown lands in this presidency, but we also know that that obstacle may be easily overcome, for at the present time the government can obtain for purchase some three or four estates at a capital outlay of about £10,000. This is a fact and the proposal may well be entertained here if our officials have the best interests of the people and islands at heart. It will surprise many, even natives, to know that of the sixty-eight square miles in St. Kitts scarcely one acre is owned by a small holder. Peasant proprietorship is unknown and the absence of this has helped to make emigration a permanent institution of the island. It is not strange, therefore, to note the lack of a spirit of independence among the great majority of our laboring people, since the spirit of independence is so closely bound p with ownership. We now find ourselves on "old grounds," for surely such a scheme would materially lessen the tide of emigration. At this time, when the lines of the Basseterre Sugar Factory, Limited, practically encircle the island, small holders would have no difficulty whatever in getting ready sales and easy transportation of their sugar cane if they invested in that crop. Again, in the United States of America and elsewhere are many natives of the islands who, in all probability would return home if it were possible for them to own a few acres on which to live and carry on agricultural pursuits. Their return would undoubtedly benefit the islands and once more put them on the path of prosperity. We have barely scratched the surface of a very important question and, in the interest of the people of this presidency, we recommend the idea to the good consideration of the executive, feeling sure that lands sufficient for the purpose may be obtained and feeling that the adoption of the scheme would, greatly enhance the future prosperity of the masses and stay the tide of emigration. It must be remembered also that the outlay of £10,000 suggested would be capital outlay, and the sum agent would be repaid in about five or ten years as the case may be, with interest not only in specie but in the addition of a happy and contented pleasant class in the community.

E. connection he might have been elected bishop—if he had agreed, in writing, to take up, the work in Africa. HAVANA, June 21.—Approximately 1,000 persons have been liberated from jail or freed of pending indictments by the blanket amnesty bill which President Zayas signed June 5, according to tabulations made today from newspaper accounts of court action in amnesty petitions, many more of which are to be filed. The amnesty provision covers many crimes from murder down to misdemeanors and resulted in wiping out various charges of malfaissance in office against two former Cabinet officers and three ex-Governors of Providence as well as permitting Jose Cano, a former member of the lower house of Congress, to return to his native land after several years of exile. He was charged with killing another member of Congress and left the country when the House granted permission for him to be tried. Indian Poet Pleads for Oriental Civilization PEKING.—Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet, plans to carry to Russia his plea that the people of the Orient retain their own civilization instead of attempting to adopt the civilization of the Occident, in event he is permitted to do so by the Moscow Government. This announcement was made following a conference here between Dr. Tagore and M. Karakhan, who promised he would convey the poet's request. It also was brought out that Karakhan urged on Dr. Tagore the advantage of closer relations between Russia and India. The poet created a stir in Northern China when he criticized the Chinese for attempting to transplant Western civilization into Chinese—soil, root and branch. French Flying Wizard To Demonstrate in Japan TOKIO. May 21 (Associated Press Correspondence).—Georges Bairbout, French flying wizard, until recently holder of the world's endurance record for gilder flying, has arrived in Japan to demonstrate for the army the most recent advances in aviation. He is to be attached to one of the army's largest airplane production centers to teach Japanese builders the latest principles of airplane construction. Barbot brought with him two planes, one the tiny "avionette," carrying a 12-horsepower Salmson engine, with which he flow across the English Channel recently. The other machine is a 300-horsepower Hispano Sulzo, which may become a model for new Japanese fighting planes. American Marines to Be Withdrawn from Dornier WASHINGTON, June 27.—Arrangements are being completed at the Navy Department and in Santo Domingo for the withdrawal of the 1,600, American Marines from the Island Republic as soon as possible after July 10. Gen. Horacio Vasquez will assume office as President meanwhile. In addition to 1,600 enlisted men, officers and their families must be transported, and the work of moving them will cover a period of weeks. Japanese Feeling Against U. S. Exclusion Act TOKIO, June 27 (United Press).—T. Saljo, prominent Japanese, well known in America, committed hard karl at his home, on the Island of Formosa, to express his indignation over the passage of the exclusion act by the American Government, according to word received here. Saljo left a, will in which he set forth his feelings on the immigration law, and expressed hope that it would be repealed.

DISCONTENT BREWS IN JAMAICA AND BRITISH GUIANA Right of Colonies to Protest and Secede Rights Conceded—Bad Administration Complained Of From the Georgetown Daily Chronicle During the week our morning contemporary blossomed out into one of its customary tirades about electives in general, but with particular reference to those in British Gulahala and those in Jamaica, who dared to suggest that if incompetent officials were foliated too long upon that island British rule might be brought to termination, sooner or later. We are not in possession of the full text of the statement referred to, and, therefore, there must be certain reservation in our judgment; but there seems to be nothing violently desperate in the statement in question. It must be patent to every member of the British cabinet, to members of Parliament, and to the British people, that no colony or dominion would put up indefinitely with incompetent rulers or officials who jeopardize the interests of those whose affairs they are sent to administer. If, then, it be conceded that no colony is compelled to put up with incompetence and jeopardy in its administration, and no one would contend to the contrary, then what is the remedy? Obviously to demand the recall of the administrator or offending official, by refusing to vote his emoluments, or by other constitutional methods; and, as a last resort, to sever connection with the Colonial Office, or, if needs be, the British crown. The latter, of course, is an extreme, and entirely hypothetical remedy, since the Colonial Office has always been sufficiently alive to the ultimate possibility of the latter, never to press exasperation to the point of a final breach. We are, of course, discussing this question today wholly in the abstract, and because of the untenable (Continued on page 14) London to Welcome LONDON. June 28 (Associated Press).—The British Government will accord a ceremonial and spectacular welcome to the dusky Abyssinian Prince Regent, Ras Taffari, who will be its guest from July 7 to 13. A special steamship has been chartered to convey the prince across the Channel from the Continent and this will be escorted by destroyers. At Dover the Mayor and the Corporation will extend a civic welcome and, on his arrival in London, it is expected that Premier MacDonald and probably one of the King's sons will greet Ras and his accompanying retinue, which will include thirty native princes. The housing of this big party was something of a problem to the officials, in view of the strained accommodations at the leading hotels through the influx of other overseas visitors, so the government took over a big private mansion in Knightsbridge, opposite the French Embassy, containing plenty of rooms and the best private ballroom in London. In the course of his sojourn the Prince will visit the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace, but for the two live lions which he brings as gifts to King George accommodations will be found at the zoo. Spanish General Is Ousted MADRID.—General Dammso Berenguer, former Spanish High Commissioner in Morocco, charged with responsibility for the Spanish military debaele in Morocco in 1921, was sentenced recently by the Supreme War Tribunal to be removed from the active list of the army and placed on reserve. General Navarro, former military commander at Melilla, was acquitted on a similar charge. POLICE OF JAMNGA, BRITISH WEST INDIES, FINISHED PRODUCT OF BRITISH PROPAGANDA, SHOOT TO KILL IN WORKMEN'S DISPUTE Without Warning and Without the Reading of the Riot Act, It Is Alleged, Police Intervene in Laborers' Quarrel and Shoot Down Unarmed Negroes—Great Indignation Throughout the Island Police Bullets for Negro Workmen in Labor Disputes in British Colonies; Police Blandishment for White Workmen in Labor Riots in the British Isle. To the Editor of The Negro World: Hitherto I have refrained from contributing anything on the ghastly riot which was supposed to have taken place in Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday, June 9, 1924, and which our local daily, the Gleaner, and its short-sighted editor, H. G. Dellisser, think was ample reason for the Kingston police to fire on a defenseless mob of strikers for more pay, even without the riot act, which gives such permission to fire, being read. The toll of the violence from the government's side was two killed outright, one died in hospital and forty wounded. British colonial rule does not savor of much justice for the Negro. It still remains hopeless folly to expect better treatment than was experienced in Kingston on Monday, June 9. Such barbarism could not be practiced in England on white Englishmen, but as anything is good enough for the Negro, so it stands. When a white Englishman in Jamaica, Major Thomas, the czarish director of the Jamaica railways, claims more pay it is no sin, and if he still raises the extras by claiming and drawing, without the knowledge of the taxpayers, a percentage on works done before he came here, or on works he knows nothing about, the government thinks he is right and calls the unjust money collected "honorarium," but if Negroes claim a dollar for a day's hard work, honestly done in the heat of a tropical sun, they commit a crime not even-worthy of the devil, and must be shot down by the police. Oh, how horrible! Enslaving Farm Labor By Law in Virginia From the Norfolk Daily Virginian-Pilot The Virginia General Assembly ventured upon dangerous ground when it passed the McCotter bill imposing a tax of $6,000 on labor agents seligiting employees for work outside the State. The law was clearly directed at those representatives of outside industries whose activities had encouraged the migration of colored workers from Virginia farms during the spring and summer of 1923, and was intended to help solve the farm labor problem. But such a measure is more likely to injure agriculture than to help it. Farm work requires satisfied and contended laborers as much as factory work, and no labor will be satisfied and contented when it knows that the door of opportunity has been closed in its face by the imposition of artificial restrictions. In spirit and in fact the McCotter bill represents an unwarranted interference with, indemnable personal rights appertaining to every worker. An agricultural labor supply maintained on such a basis is a labor supply of doubtful value and of doubtful duration. But the damaging effect of the McCotter law on this score remains for a longer experience to demonstrate. It damaging effect on another score, in which Norfolk is particularly interested, has already become apparent. The framers of the law, in their zeal to keep all workers in Virginia free from the toils of the labor agents, failed to exclude shipping masters from the operation of the statute. As a result shipping masters of Norfolk and Newport News are faced with the prospect of paying a $5,000 fee or having to go out of business. Anxious to prevent such an unfortunate occurrence, shipping interests have united with the Maritime Exchange to convince the Attorney General that a proper interpretation of the law does not require its application to the recruiting of crews for merchant vessels. But the Attorney General's ruling has been against this view, and unless his opinion can be reversed when a text case is brought in the counts shipping masters are in danger of having, to suspend until the legislature meets again and amends the law.

SMITH Third Assistant President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Director of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., Inc., who sailed from New York, Saturday, June 29, for Cuba, to represent the interests of the association and corporation in that island. Yet they call it British justice, and who among us can say that it isn't British justice to white men and dogs is much different to that to Negroes, so the Negro might as well create justice for himself. H. G. De Lisser of the Gleaner says that the police acted right when they fired, because law and order must be kept. Of course, law and order must be kept, but why take ice to the North Pole? When the city authorities sought cheap labor from the country parts to re-construct the streets, didn't they anticipate that the unemployed in Kingston would resent such action on their part? And when laborers are against laborers on principle, what right have the police to interfere? The police depot was not threatened. The jail was not. The governor was out of the way. Only laborers against laborers, and they would soon reconcile. The harm done to Jamalae and Jamaicans by this one-horse paper, the Gleaner, is untold, but, alas! the scales are being prepared. Irresponsible Minions of the Law The attached clipping from the Gleaner of the 18th inst. will provide much food for those Negroes who strictly advocate British supremacy. It reads thus: "Port Antonio, Tuesday—At 11:30 tonight a number of laborers refused to work at the railway pier while the S. S. Portgaeus was being loaded. Your correspondent went near the scene to obtain the details; suddenly a batch of armed constables appeared and without the slightest warning, the crowd was fired on with the result that William Clarke, Joseph Thompson and Mr. C. C. Stewart were badly wounded. Your correspondent had a narrow escape and had to hide in the ewamps nearby. Mr. C. C. Stewart, a well-known merchant here, had accompanied your correspondent to obtain the details of the trouble. Unfortunately, the crowd of spectators were the ones fired on, while the few strikers were on the pier. William Clarke, a fireman employed to the railway, had just left his engine when he was hit. Both himself and Mr. Stewart are being treated at the hospital by Dra. Mosely and Burke. The wounds sustained by these two are very serious. Joseph Thompson was removed to his home." Go Back to Africa On concluding the reading of the clipping I wonder if there is one of a manican resident abroad who will still hope to return to this land of sorrows, where one remains a subject all the days of his life. The eagle-claws of the English dove of peace are growing taller each day. They are hooking the Negro tightly, and if he (the Negro) does not exert himself to bribe sense of racial responsibility and feeling, he will, in a very short time, have lost all this world holds dear to him. A home, a government, a protection, is what the Negro wants, and place it can't be had in the British Empire, let him build same for himself in Africa, where he will be free to live in peace, in plenty, and in comfort, trying to forget the unchurtubliness of the British Empire. Negroes are men, not dogs; they want a place in the world, and by all means they must have it. Yours for racial uplift. CHAS. D. JOHNSON. 82 Oxford street, Kingston, Jamaica, June 19, 1924.

Marcus Garvey Launches Drive for Funds for Colonization Program, Estimated to Require $2,000,000—Announces $125,000 More Required to Purchase Ship for Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company—In Earnest Speech Tells of the Association's Plans for the Next Two Months REV. R. VAN RICHARDS, NATIVE LIBERIAN, CHAPLAIN TO THE SENATE OF LIBERIA, GIVES THE LIE TO THOSE WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO MISLEAD IN REGARD TO LIBERIA'S ATTITUDE—SAYS IT IS RIDICULOUS AND ABSURD FOR ANY ONE TO THINK THAT LIBERIA WOULD DEBAR NEGROES—MAKES A PLEA FOR UNITY Sir William Sherrill in Eloquent Address Discusses the Irresistible Force That Compels the New Negro to Attend Liberty Hall—Says the U. N. I. A. Has Driven the Word "Can't" From the Negro's Vocabulary—Plans Now in Execution by U. N. I. A. Is a Source of Happiness to Serious-Minded Negroes LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday night, June 29... The New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, its members and friends, went over the top in a splendid manner. The Liberian colonization program was the primer. Men and women jostled each other to the table, backing up their vows to put the program over and their enthusiasm with cold cash. Any of the group of tricksters, who are seeking by false dealing to delay success, and who were present in the hall, must have felt sick. No sooner had Mr. Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, called upon his followers to give their reply to the critics, than there was a rush to contribute. They came with their $10 bills, their $5 bills, their twos and their ones. Thousands gave freely that Liberia may be helped. Sultry, summer weather has no terrors for those who embrace Garveyism. Liberty Hall was packed with an enthusiastic crowd that sat happy and alert throughout a three-hour meeting. Mr. Garvey told of the activities of the association in connection with the colonization program. He stressed the need for $125,000 more to complete purchase of a ship by the Black Cross Navigation Company, to be available for intending settlers in Liberia in September. He tore to shreds the tawny-tactics of a visionless group, "who represent nothing, mean nothing, irresponsible to the last one of them." Dr. R. Van Richards, chaplain to the Senate of Liberia, gave the lie to the canard that Garvey and Afro-American colonists were not welcome in Liberia. Would Chief Justice Dossen of Liberia (his father-in-law), he asked, interest himself in the activities of a movement which his government did not view with favor? Would presidents of Liberia, Barclay and Howard, be so disloyal to their country as to support a movement which their country frowned upon? He promised on his return to Liberia to send back an article for publication giving the final death-blow to the scheme of the traitor. Tenight we start out a new month of serious activities in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The real task of doing is upon us. Just at this time we have as an organization Over 5000 Cans Sold Every Day! If you want your hair to be long and beautiful and look its best, start using Pluko A GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY In his opening address Mr. Garvey said: Over 5000 Every Just think of that—Over five thousand packages sold every day and the demand getting bigger and bigger all the time for Pluko HAIR DRESSING This is because Pluko Hair Dressing not only makes the hair long, straight, sulky and beautiful, but also perfumes the hair, makes it easy to dress in any style wanted, and makes it stay that way. No expense is spared in getting the finest perfume for Pluko Hair Dressing because it is made ESPECIALLY for MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE LEADERS—Men and women who are willing to pay any price for the best, knowing that their appearance has a great deal to do with their success. If you want your hair to and look its best, THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1924 started the most cremendous undertaking ever sponsored by a race in exile. If you look at the faces of those of us who are executively leading and are responsible for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, you will see no smile there, because the responsibility now resting upon our shoulders is grave and great. We have started in real earnest to build a nation, to redeem a race. It is a responsibility that some of us are fully cognizant of, a responsibility whose gravity we well know and appreciate; and we desire to impress the same seriousness and bring home the same gravity of the responsibility to each and every member of this association and each and every member of the race. This week, between last Saturday a week ago and yesterday, we sent out of New York harbor sailing on different ships of different lines, men and women to different parts of the world, charged with a serious and grave responsibility, that of representing in truth and in deed the spirit of this great movement, the ideal of this great movement, the hopes of this great race. On the ocean at this time are to be found our first group of engineers, civil and mechanical, who are thousands of miles away from New York and from Liberty Hall on their way to the rising country of Liberia, West Africa. On the same high seas we have one of our executive officers as our special representative, one whom you know well, who officiated in this hall for a good while. Sir James O'Meally. He is also on his way to Liberia for the carrying out and prosecution of the great work we have started in helping that country to become one of the greatest nations of the world. In another direction on the high seas we have Lady Davis on the way to Panama, to Central America and, the West Indies, carrying the message of good will in every part of the Western hemisphere. In another direction we have the Hon Rudolph Smith, who has gone to the people of Cuba, taking to them the same good will and best wishes from the people of the United States of America. And we at home are now spreading throughout this country a propaganda, the like of which was never seen and known before. We are now rousing men and women the world over to the seriousness of the problem of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we have called you together in Liberty Hall this week, especially tonight, tomorrow night and Tuesday night, for a consultation over this big and mighty project, over this big and mighty program, that must be put over. Following is the text of the speeches: O Cans Sold Day! BLACK AND WHITE PRICE 40 CENTS Pluko WHITE HAIR DRESSING FORMERLY BLACK AND WHITE Makes The Hair Grow Long, Soft and Glossy. Removes Dandruff.

Second Assistant President-General, spoke as follows: As I was listening to the President-General talk about the Negro starting on a serious problem to build a nation, I began to reflect in my mind and remember the things six years ago the Negro wanted, to compare what the race wanted at that time with what the race wants now. And it bought to my mind the story of the Negro who was fed on piglets for a long time. Paid with Pigtails There was a colored man working for "Mr. Charles" and "Mr. Charles" used to pay him off. He ran the butcher's business. Mr. Charles" need to give him pigtails for his work. This fellow, worked a long time until the war broke out, and then he went to France.

Mississippi, he got a job elsewhere and began working for good money and he started eating pork chops and ham and all of the choice parts of the hog. He went back to his home own on a visit to his relatives and he saw "Mr. Charlie," who thought John had come back to work, "Mr. Charlie" said, "All right, John, you can get your old job back; I will be glad to have you." But John said, "What are you going to pay me?" "I am going to give you about the same," was the reply. But John said, "No no, I am eating further up the hog now." (Laughter.) The Negro since he came in contact with the proponent of the diversion of Negro Improvement Association, he is simply wanted as a part of the British Government, is not simply wanting a part of the American electorate, and is accepting some little word job or pretty political job but the Negro of the University of Negro Improvement Association, after having imbibed the spirit of the association, is eager to further up the political tree. Receiving and Giving Inspiration It is indeed pleased to tell you here this vast audience of Negro men and women, who have come to their regular place of meeting for inspiration. And you not only receive inspiration when you come but, little as you may know it, you give out inspiration. I do not know where the Universal Negro Improvement Association would be, were it not for Liberty Hall. Training a program like we have to lead on the University of Negro Improvement Association, you must remember and understand that the road is not always smooth, the sea is not always calm, the skies are not always clear. There are times when those of us who are attempting to carry on this program, as you desire to have it carried out, hardly see our way. There are times when the road becomes rocky, there are times when the sky becomes dark. And you at Liberty Hall will cone Sunday, night serve to give those of us who are struggling on that enthusiasm and courage necessary to fight for the carrying out of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Power of Garveyism Little as you may think it, your presence in this hall is a distinct contribution to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I need not ask you why you are here tonight. I know. Your presence here tonight indicates the mighty force and power of Garveyism. I say I need not ask you why you are here, because I know. You are not here in Liberty Hall tonight to hear any particular person, or any particular speech. You come to Liberty Hall when Sherrell is here, you come when Sherrell is out of town. You come to Liberty Hall when Garvey is here, you come when Garvey is out of town. You come to Liberty Hall Sunday night after Sunday night, regardless of who is here to address you. Why? Simply because the spirit of Garveyism has got hold of you and draws you here. You could not go anywhere else. If you had gone to the theatre or taken a stroll in the park, you would not have been satisfied; you would have been wondering what the folks were doing at Liberty Hall (Apilause). And you would not have been contented until you had met someone Is your STOMP run-down, weak, tired? Is your BLOOD pain, "pelled," thin, watery? Is your BONE-MARROW drying up? Is your body starv- ing, and are you suffering with WEAKNESS INDIGESTION NERVOUSNESS RHEUMATISM ANEMIA COLDS TIRED FEELING CATARRH NEURALGIA RUN-DOWN Are you losing WEIGHT? Are you always TINED out and KNOCKED out? Do you walk around without any COUR- AGE, AMBITION? Don't wait until you are gone! Improve yourself! Take a step away from the gravel. Don't miss this opportunity! Come on! Time flees! Order the who could tell you what was done at Liberty-Hall. It is the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a mighty power over which you yourselves have no control, that drives you Sunday night after Sunday night to Liberty Hall Liberty Hall. Many of you have dropped away, but there was something that brought you back. Some of you have tried to do without Liberty Hall for a while, but you were not contented. You could not rest well tonight, did you not come to Liberty Hall. You could not sleep well tonight, did you not have the opportunity to drink from the inspirational fountain of Liberty Hall. It is Liberty Hall with her mighty driving spirit that has driven you here in order that you might get something upon which to feast during the coming week. When we think of the program of the University Negro Improvement Association, when we think of the many plans that this organization has on foot now to bring about the realization of our dreams, each and every one of us tonight should indeed be happy, happy because the way in which we have our program mapped out every week brings us nearer and nearer towards our goal. The work of every week brings us nearer and nearer towards home. Home, the place we know so little about, especially when we speak of a racial home. Home, a place that will exist for us, a place whose flag will kiss the breezes that you might have justice, that you might have protection, that you might have opportunity. Home, a place where you will be permitted to enjoy all that there is to come. It is that kind of place that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to prepare for the Negro. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is working towards the realization of that home, because he is tired of being a stranger in a strange land. The Negro is tired of working/to no definite end for his race. He is working for France, he is working for England, he is working for America, and now he is the land he wants to do home. A place that will put him to work from the secret place to the direct police of the real estate. Every week, the police will be on and ready to help the children to the proper place, all the time, about the condition of the Unwanted. No one the province will assist, but it has taken No one who wants to be a home that they will enjoy here for a while. It has created No one who wants streets and mansions that they will enjoy down here. It has No one who wants to be a home that will enjoy here. All their eyes for the control of the their fathers have made. We of the University of North Carolina Improvement Association treat our that will awake group on the race who have received from the ten million of our organization that God put us here in this world to make a special contribution not only to our care but to all humanity at large. The program of the University of North Carolina Improvement Association is aimed the mind, moving force and power that is stimulated by North Carolina every time we are on the battle of hope. It is the truth which North Carolina are at the heart of. Now we are so serious about this, as the President General said. And there is nobody more serious than the President General himself. We are so serious that the University Negro Improvement Association has taken out of it vocabulary such as "and" "and" "We are so serious that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not asking anybody to "Please tell them no home." But with the membership lined up and its mighty noisy spirit, Marcus Garvey is saying to everyone, "The not just, in my way for you on my way home, and, ever so, God have mercy upon your soul for you, need not expect any from an outraged people and an avenging race." The gestures that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making now are so serious gestures. When we send delegations to Liberia when we see us send the executive officers to the four chiefers of the world, you can readily understand that we mean business." I hope that to night you will put yourselves on record as being definite supporters of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You know the Bible says, "Where your treasure is, there is your heart also." Now if I am to judge from that, when I look over the list of those who have contributed for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and other financial lists of the organization, there are some of you of whom we have to wonder whether or not your heart is with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are asking you tonight not to be content to be a chair warmer, do not be content until you make yourself a definite part of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. WEAKNESS NERVOUSNESS ANEMIA TIRED FEELING NEURALGIA Nearer and Nearer Home Hawaii on Earth "Can't" a Lost Word Let us carry on. Let those of us who have now resolved to do, double what we did in 1923. Make that resolve, for the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must be put over, and we have not got a long time to do it in. The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association therefore is calling upon each and every one of you tonight in stronger terms than ever before to stand back of the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Loud applause) A` LIBERIAN REPLIES TO THE TRICKSTERS . Rev R. Van Richards, chaplain to the Senate of Liberia, next addressed the meeting. After expressing his great pleasure at being again afforded the opportunity of addressing that great gathering, he said: I want to say a word to you about unity among yourselves, the importance of unity among yourselves. In unity there is strength. In unity there is success. Where there is unity you are sure to succeed. There is nothing to stand against you when you unite. A united effort will bring everything to pass. Be disunited, and you are sure to fail. He one in heart, he one in mind, he one in purpose, he one in spirit. Let your shine be, "United we stand, divided we fall," and you will stand in this great movement, reared by the Hon. Matteus Garvey, until we have succeeded in putting over the wonderful program of establishing colonies in Liberia for the good of our race and country. The Chief Justice of Liberia asked that the first colony to be established be on the Cavalla River, and my only secret is that the first colony did not come to my district instead of his. But I sincerely hope, as the days and months and years ago by, I will have the pleasure of seeing a colony set up in my country. UNITY THE ENEMY OF FAILURE I am with you in this great movement. Men and women, he united. All that may be said and attempted against this great organization will prove a failure because you are united. A threefold course is not directly broken, and a fourfold course is stronger. Now, I want to correct a most damnant article that was published in a newspaper called the Morning American. I do not know how many of you read that article and come from Liberia published by Mr. Butler, since he himself is not from Liberia, and it is a most damnant article for the people who must have been wounded in the course of this great movement. I say: "I am with you in this great movement." Liberia Welcome Garycy I want to say that I want to give the Liberals more power in the House and those who may be Liberals. Applicants. It is one of the most important events ever put together by the Liberals and how they are working to get there. How sound new opportunities for a black republic to discuss men and women of color from around the world. Liberals will work with others who discuss to help. We want to give the Liberals more power in the House and those who may be Liberals. Applicants. I am here to thank all the members of the Board of Education in the Society of Librarians and one of the directors in person for all of our work on the chiefs in Librarians. I have amended my own notes and I am pleased to those who made a point to be and are deeply thanked to the people deeply involved in their work and the understanding support to their work. Glad Gurvey Is a Giant Glad Garvey is a Giant In the article they say, "Garvey is a God in this world. But that does not mean that Garvey must be rented to the first. I am so glad that he is a man of strong will power and does not need to do managements. They said more than that of Christ, the Lord of glory. He had aside his crown and sceptre, and took off His kingly robe and came to this sun blessed earth to save mankind, and they said, 'He is lordzubub'." They said all kinds of mean things. If they said these things about Christ, what will they say of mortal man? They not only said these things, but they crucified Christ who came to save the world. If they did that to Christ, what will they not do to Marcel's Garvey? But I am so glad that Mr. Garvey has a backbone. He is never dismayed. He is engaged in a great work which God fosters. A Hypothetical Question Mr. Dossen is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia. Do you think if the Liberian Government did not desire to help this movement to develop the country he would take any part in it? The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia would not take any part in anything his government opposed. To him appeals are to be made. He is to give opinions on anything that goes to his court. He is too loyal to Liberia to encourage anything his government does not favor and that is wrong. Do you think Mr. Barclay, President of Liberia for eight consecutive years, and Mr. Howard, President of Liberia for eight consecutive years, would give their support to something their government did not approve for the good of the country? They love Liberia too dearly to be active in the interests of anything opposed by the Liberian Government. Do you think if the Liberian Government was opposed to Garvey for the good he is trying to do and his work for the good of Liberia and the race I would speak here in the interests of this movement? I would not dare. I would be afraid to go back to Liberia. But I know the Liberian Government welcomes the help that the race can give for the development of the country. Not Butler's Own Another thing. Do not believe that this man, Butler, wrote this article. The composition is not his own. It is the work of some who oppose this great movement. But this work will not fall. Mr. Garvey's plans for good will not fall, and this program to help Liberia develop will be put over in God's time and in God's way. When I return to Liberia I shall tell my people what you are doing here, and they will become even more interested than they are now. Friends, we are calling you. Liberia welcomes you. (Applause.) When I return to Liberia I shall make it my duty to send you an article under the caption, "Liberia Welcomes You." I shall go to the leading men of my country to take up the matter of this article. I shall hold it up before them and ask, "Is this the sentiment of Liberia regarding immigration?" and I shall write you, Mr. President. This Universal Negro Improvement Association which Mr. Garvey lead has made the world wonder. The world has been astonished at this great movement. Men have wondered what manner of man is this; what manner of man is this, so strong, with such willpower; what manner of man is this. cus Garvey. Marcus Garvey is a black man. He is a strong man, and I am exceedingly proud of him. May God bless him and his work. (Loud applause) MR GARVEY'S ADDRESS Mr. Garvey followed. He said. Fellow members, we are not dis- tincted by what the other fellow says. We know what has been said by the paper we only read in the usual pro- grams strain to harass the University Neuro Improvement Association, but we do not water on a check back. We are not one let worried. When we started the University Neuro Improvement Association we started almost opposition opposition from strong forces without Senior of war will remember the initial treaty of the University Neuro Impro- ment Association and of the Black Hat Limon line, we had to back and we not then. The same fighting still the University Neuro Improvement Association is, and we do not want fighting is not same and we do not always go to be my team. Appreciate. Will Finish the Job No. 1 and 2 are similar, but the first one is larger. Man Made 'Young' At 84 Tells How He Regained Vigor Another remarkable paper of being made at Vail.

That should be who need not be so blind as to be unab- able the wall, unless they are simply stupid. They have shown themselves to be s every movement not fathered by them the hard life of the Negro people. They common sense and courage of the race we believe it will do it. LIBERIAN COLONIZATION AND THE ENEMY THE plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the colonization of Liberia by Negroes of the United States, the West Indies and Latin America, who may want to go there, are so far perfected as to create a spasm of alarm in the minds of a class of Negroes who can't see any good in anything that they do not father, who have very little sympathy with the Negro people anyway, being deracred, and who have no sense of the importance of race nationality, whether they should be a part of its citizenship or not, and however their condition in the nationality of white people might be bettered by the very existence of a strong Negro government. Such people would not be happy in Africa, in a Negro government, if they were forced to go there and stay. Independent Haiti, independent Liberia, independent Abyssinia, as Negro governments, mean nothing to the Negroes who do not approve of the plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for safeguarding the independence of Haiti and Abyssinia and of repatriating Liberia, with the purpose of making it one of the great nations of the earth. They have no faith in the Negro race and no sentiment in favor of a strong Negro nationality. They are Ephraimites, joined to their idols, and if they would attend to their own business, if they have any, and leave the Universal Negro Improvement Association to attend to its business, they could be easily ignored as innocuous nonentities lost in the multitude, but they insist upon neglecting their business and interfering with the business of others, making themselves not only enemies of the best interests of the race but a positive nuisance. They are the same people, or people of their ilk, who opposed the industrial education and preparedness of the race as advocated by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and who helped to kill the National Afro-American League, as it was organized for the purpose of safeguarding the social, civil and economic interests of the race, as advocated by T. Thomas Fortune, and who have never taken an active part in the work of the National Negro Business League, as organized and developed by Dr. Washington and Mr. Fortune. They are the same people who are opposed to the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Are they friends or enemies of the Negro race? The work of Liberian colonization has begun, by and with the advice and consent of the Liberian Government, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it will be prosecuted to the finish. Experts of the association are now on the way to Liberia, to make the necessary preparation for the first colonists, on the Cavalla River, and the movement cannot be hampered by anything the enemy may do or say. That should be plain enough to the enemy, who need not be so blind as to be unable to read the handwriting on the wall, unless they are simply stupid to that. Are they so stupid? They have shown themselves to be so in the past by antagonizing every movement not fathered by themselves for the betterment of the hard life of the Negro people. They stand in the way, and the common sense and courage of the race should show them aside, and we believe it will do it. THE SUNSHINE IN LIFE life, in the United States, in the W America, in Africa, the Negro people are am and gay in the world. They delight try, for tomorrow we die," perhaps; b they forget tomorrow in the excite most philagmatic of people find relaxa to, or they would break under the str thing even to the most favored. T IN their social life, in the United States, in the West Indies, in Latin America, in Africa, the Negro people are among the most light-hearted and gay in the world. They delight in "dancing and making merry, for tomorrow we die," perhaps; but more reasonably because they forget tomorrow in the excitement of the merriment. The most phlegmatic of people find relaxation in some way. They have to, or they would break under the strain of living, which is no easy thing even to the most favored. To the gayest and merriest of people life is a burden in the stern realities of it, relief from the grind of which they must seek, some in one and some in another, but most in song and dance and the merriment of them. In the cities, in the rural districts, it is the same. And what is more refreshing than the laugh of a person in the grasp of song or dance, whose soul is free for the time from the thoughts and the cares of life, which gradually eat it away and leave it empty! The African, the Frankish, the Latin, the Gaelic, races, are among the races pre-eminent for their disposition to gaiety, to song and dance, to merriment, and they are the races that have most sunshine in their life and reflect, most sunshine in the life of others. And these also excel all other races in their poetry, music and the lighter literature, which beguile the fagged mind into gladsomeness and the joy of living. The philosophy of life and the poetry of living are not the same. They may go hand in hand, and make the pathway smoother, the hedges blossom with flowers that sweeten the air, and the song of birds in the groves, in which the melodies of the spheres may be harnessed to praise the incomparable glories of the Universe and the Creator of it all, but the philosophy of life and the poetry of living are not the same. It is good that the Negro people have the light heart, attuned to music and song and dance, and can go about the stern realities of living all the more cheerfully because they can get away from them for a time and forget them. If it were not so they could not have lived through the double night of ages and now be emerging into the sunshine, the glorious, the bright hopes and aspirations of living, as they are doing on every continent where they now are, conquering the white world with jazz and ragtime, and the sober purposes underlying these which make for character and nationhood. SHALL HOWARD UNIVERSITY BECOME A NATIONAL INSTITUTION? THERE are several bills now pending in Congress whose purpose is to place Howard University under the control of the National Government, and the question is discussed at length by Dean Kelly Miller, of the university, in the Magazine Section of The Negro World today. Howard University is a Negro school. It has not a sufficient endowment to make it independent. For some years past Congress has been making a special appropriation for its upkeep and conduct without having any direct control over the management of the school, the oversight of the appropriations being, we understand, in the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Department of the Interior. Without the appropriation by Congress annually, Howard University would hardly be able to function. This would be a great loss to the race, which, however, has many other institutions of higher education, and is free to enter the student body of most of the schools of higher education outside of the Southern States. The fact that Howard University is situated in the District of Columbia, which is governed in the last analysis by the Federal Government, with legislation for its administration vested in, the President and in the Congress, and that Howard University could be made a national school for the education of the Negro people, under the control of the Federal Government, such as they have not got now in any school of their own in any of the several States, could be argued in favor of nationalizing the school. The argument could be reinforced by the fact that our youth are excluded by the unwritten law of the officials and student bodies from the West Point Military and the Annapolis Naval academies, and are thus deprived of the high advantages of those Federalized schools. Plenty of people will stand ready to denounce Federal control because it would give the sanction of the Federal Government to separate schools of higher education for the race; the fact being, however, that it has already done that very thing in the District of Columbia, where separate schools exist by and with the consent of the Congress, which legislates for their supervision and votes the necessary money to maintain the separate system, and by silent acquiescence in the unwritten law that bars us out of West Point and Annapolis. As matters new stand, Howard University's existence, as we understand it, depends upon the whim of some congressman or senator, who might object to the annual appropriation because of some word or act by some one connected with the school, as happened in the last Congress. Would the race benefit or otherwise by having the school Federalized? That is the question. The race should benefit, we think. That is of the greatest importance. GOVERNMENT REVERSAL IN SOUTH AFRICA THE natives of the Union of South Africa may gain but little by the retirement of Premier Jan Christian Smuts and the rise of General Hertzog, as both of them are Dutch and neither of them has any high opinion of the natives or their interests; and there may be no secession of the Union from its British allegiance, as the English are strong enough in the Union to check-mate that, but a change of administration breaks the stranglehold of General Smuts, who has admitted that the natives, no longer regard "the whites as gods," which is a great gain, and which many Negroes in the United States and the West Indies could learn to the common advantage. There were many people in South Africa who imagined that the stranglehold of Premier Smuts on the Union of South Africa could not be broken, and it might not have been had he not alienated the good will and support of the Labor party by high-handed methods, and made the National-Labor coalition possible; but the fact that it has been broken shows that other things in the administration of the Union hurtful to the natives and to the white labor people can be broken. Of late the white labor unions, driven to it by the Communist party, show some disposition to give native labor a fairer showing, and if they go on with the disposition it would strengthen the Labor party and prolong its hold on the government, perhaps. The Nation, of New York, says: "The result of the election is merely an expression of a variety of legitimate discontents; it leaves South Africa's future more than ever uncertain." And out of the uncertainty good may result for the natives. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The great mass of people do not like to think for themselves. They are mentally lazy. They do as their fathers did, they follow the crowd, they bend their minds to a stronger mind, and follow the lead of an audacious leader. —Christian Recorder. While it is true that there have been some few attempts to discourage the educated Negro, by violence and threats, yet these methods but intensify the desire for knowledge, and the feeling is general that education will demot to graduate this uncivilized condition among that class whose minds are warped by ignorance, which engenders hatred and prejudice, against whom he has not yet been able to get that consideration and protection which should be extended to all citizens alike. —Newport News Star. Many of the older and more thoughtful citizens of Indianapolis are alarmed at the laxity, liberalism, irreverence, abandon, and intemperance which seem to characterize so many of that class of Negro citizens whom we have regarded as among our heat. It would seem that there has been a general letting down of the bars as to respectability. Standards, if ever they existed, have been thrown to the moles and bats. Right seems to be anything anyone wants to do. It seems that many of our very beat young men and women have been swept off their feet by a wave of sport and self indulgence. The morale of healthy, high mindedness, of culture, or noble, chaste, conduct of laudable moral ambition, of reverence for the great fundamentals of life, has been broken and we are on the retreat. —Indianapolis Freeman. Because of the migration to the North the tax books show a general decrease in property holdings by Negroes in Georgia. Statistics show that they own land valued at $15,567,000; city and town lots valued at $212,145,465, household and kitchen utensils valued at $1,260,314, and money and solvent debt amounting to $1,025,451, approximately $3,000,000, less than last year - Detroit Independent. The Federal anti-lynching law is the only proposal for the Negro welfare. This single plank is considered sufficient consideration to win over twelve millions of Negroes. Had the Republican party not made such a terrible failure in the last Congress to pass a Federal anti-lynching law, we would have some hope for the future. The National Committee, partly leaders, and even the chief executives, have shown a disposition to ignore the merits of the bill. Why do they become stunned supporters of this bill-over night? Because of all the planks favoring the Negro, the anti-lynching plank offered the least effervescence to the Negro-hating South. Judging from the past, there is no assurance that this plank will ever be made law—Pittsburgh-American. Business, brains and money must solve the race problem—Warsaw Sun. There are a good many grouchy people in the world. Some are constitutionally so. They are to be pitted. What the world needs is more of human sunniness and kindness. One of the best health tonics is pipsisantness and courtey. Strive to be good-natured, sunny-tempered, pleasant and courteous and you will enjoy living.—Omaha Monitor. It is useless to search for new terms, thinking that therein you may escape being a Negro. Bear the cross: lift your head; be proud that you can wear the name of a race that preceded Egypt and was building battles at the same time China was laying the foundation of her civilization. It is a privilege God grants to be a Negro—Omaha New Era. HOW LYONS WAS MADE NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN. By T. Thomas Fortune The death of Captain Judson W. Lyons, at Augusta, Ga., recalls to my mind the way he was elected national committeeman by the Georgia delegation, at St. Louis, in 1896. I had been in the South from the opening to the closing of the campaign for delegates, with headquarters at Atlanta, working in sympathy with Col. W. A. Pledger and Henry Lincoln Johnson in Georgia, in the interest of Speaker Thomas B. Reed and Senator W. B. Allison, as against Col. A. E. Buck and the McKinley people, of whom Mark A. Hanna, was the master spirit. Col. Buck had as race lieutenants such able men as H. A. Rucker of Atlanta, J. H. Deveaux of Savannah, and Captain Judson W. Lyons of Augusta. Col. Pledger was one of the shrewd politicians the race has produced. He knew all of the tricks of the game and played a cautious hand. He knew the Negro politician from the country districts as no other man of his times, and he could always catch him but he could not always hold him. In those days nobody could hold the average Negro delegate after buying him and taking him to the convention city. The disposition to sell out to the next man that came appeared to be the rule in those days, and it is the rule that finally killed us in the Republican politics of the South and put us in bad with the party in the nation. The Hanna people beat us out in securing control of the Georgia delegation. We got nineteen delegates. I remember, out of the total. We paid their expenses at the congressional conventions and the State convention. More, we hired a special Pullihan sleeper to take our delegates to St. Louis. The cat had our own chef, and was stocked with all tings good to eat and drink. The trip from Atlanta to St. Louis was a most companionable and enjoyable one. Were all in fine spirits and sure that the combination with which we had trained, and which was manipulated by Senator Thomas C. Platt and Gen. James S. Clarkson of New York, and Senator Boise Penrose and Senator W. H. Andrews of Pennsylvania, would win out, as against Mark Hanna. But the Obionan heat us to it. He had more money than we. When we got down to work at St Louis we found that Mark Hanna had the convention tied up for William McKinley. Our Georgia delegates began to birtf with the Buck people, and in a short time all but a corporal's guard of them had deserted to the Hanna camp. We were all very sore and gloomy. Our commaation had lost, and we were the "outs." A half dozen of us were sitting in a room of the Planter Hotel, discussing the bad situation, when Col. Pledger jumped up and, in disgust, exclaimed: "Come on, boys, and let us see Col. Buck make his man national committeeman." "What's that F. I exclaimed. "You will do nothing of the kind, Colonel! They have the chairman and secretary of the State committee, and you will go to the Georgia headquarters and let them understand that if they place a white man in nomination on their side for member of the national committee, you will put the Negro delegates on record and stand for the position yourself." "You are right, son; that is the proper thing to do, and I will do it," said the Colonel. As soon as Col. Buck found out what Col. Pledger was going to do he set aside his white candidate and put Captain Judson W. Lyons of Augusta in nomination, and he was elected. I he had not done so, Col. Pledger would have been elected over the white stalking horse. And that is how Judson W. Lyons was made national committeman for Georgia at St. Louis. Col. Buck, who was a Maine man who had fought in the Union army, and 'was a superb' gentleman, was appoint d minister to Japan by President McKinley and died at his post in Tokio. 135th Street Library Notes New Books: Weatherford, W.

It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhod of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. The Way in Africa and The Way in Kansas City The native in Africa under British rule are compelled to live in "locations" outside the city limits. Their segregated districts attracted stockkeepers who built on the outskirts. The success these men caused native them-selves to wish to open stores inside the "locations." The authorities refused 1 permission. Thereupon they began a boycott and kept it up to the point where the women whipped their children who went into the stores. Then the British government gave up, and they, were permitted to open stores the same as anyone else. Mark the contract here in Kimala City. We too suffer segregation and prospection, but how different our attitude toward race consciousness and race solidarity? A Negro labourer on 18th street who was driven from a white restaurant near Pocatello assume one day, stood on the street on the next, and begged for a plance to eat there again. A Negro teacher in Lansing High School on the occasion of the tote seno play, used its phone to call a white taxi company notwithstanding a dozen Negro taxi companies are operating. A Negro settlement out in Quindaro decided a year ago to present the striking of a Negro woman by a white procer, but he is still in business and still serving Negro patrons. Yet native African women, a hundred yards from the bush and burbarian, whipped their children to establish in their munds that they must be race conscious. Whatever of shame there is for the Negro laborer who kissed the hand that ampute him, it doubled and redoubled for the Negro teacher who thinks it smart to neglect his own. He cannot teach his pupils self-respect for he has none himself. It is no disgrace to be a Negro, and we must stop acting as though it was. Until we get enough love solidarity to create a public opinion within our own ranks that will make splendidiferous braggards as well as the foolish multitude contribute to our common cause, we shall be shamed and handcapped. "Don Quixote" Pickens, "The Educated Buffoon" Pickens is at it again: Anything to keep him in the public eye. He does not regard the truth. He does not investigate to find the truth. If it sounds well and will make you laugh, then it is all right for Pickens. Well has he been called "the educated buffoon." This time he gets off on bobbed hair under the hedding. "Pickens Flags A. M. E. Church, Ban on Bobbed Hair and Theatres." He is always "flaying somebody." He never constructs. He is an expert "flayer," who would rather flay than tell the truth, to judge from his last article. He is the modern black Bon Quixote, who will fight anything in sight. This time air "flayer" says: "The white Methodist voted in substance, let your conscience be your guide," but the black Methodist defined and particularized in such minute detail as to pass laws or resolutions against "low neck," "bare arms" and "bobbed hair." Pickens should know this is false. But he does not want the truth, because he can't write truth interestingly enough to have anybody notice it.

HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association Gumming the Game There are a few habits which seem simple and harmless enough, which in reality, are not who ones to begin. Chewing gum—not particularly handsome, I admit, but not especially harmful either. In fact, no doubt it strengthens the jaw as did arguing with his wife cause the building of powerful jaws in old Father William. Do you remember that in Alice in Wonderland, when asked how it was that he was not eating suet and such material, instead of eating goose bones, etc., he replied that in his youth he argued with Mrs William and 'the muscular strength which it save to my jaw has lasted the rest of my life.' But the habit which may "gum it game" of having a good diet healthy appetite, proper color and normal weight in tea and coffee drinking. This is a pernicious habit to allow children to acquire. No amount of work which is saved the parent by the avoidance of making cocoa and other nourishing drinks which will accomplish some good for the growing child will make up for the harm she is doing, and if a mother has a conscience she will regret having given something which may work indirect harm to the youngster she loves. I have seen children who were fifteen to twenty pounds under weight—very serious and grave condition—nervous pathetic little things, who, under advice and supervision of the doctor gave up drinking coffee and tea and put on weight and "come back" to health. Not another thing was done except substitution of milk and cocoa for breakfast, dinner and supper in place of the tea and coffee, and yet those children gained on the average of about three pounds a week and kept on gaining steadily until they reached the normal weight. This speaks for itself. Do not fool yourself by giving a cut of so-called "milk flavored with coffee." Children do not need to have coffee flavored and they need no stimulation which even a small amount of these drinks will produce in the sensitive system of a child. Do not compromise with anything which has the possibility of injuring your child's health. "IN MEMORIAM" Death is the beginning of a new and better life.

That the vocal cords ravel and grumble, and from that time on the clammer and thunder of these demonstrations is kept going by brass bands, drums, whistles, rattlers, bells, gongs, and a demoniac wall of mechanical howlers. The side best equipped with noise-making devices last longest. Every four years the leather-lungs of these United States make a new record for convention noise. Collarless delegates fight around State standards and drag each other around over the chairs. Now and again the police interfere and pry some patrol loose from some other patrol. Bathing girls pose on the platform. Some disheveled maiden is carried around the floor on men's shoulders. A freckled newsboy rides on a fat man's back. And that is how. Presidents are sometimes made. Jungle stuff! Jungle blood revealing itself in an upsurge of magnificent barbarity! But that is the way democracy, as exemplified by the Democrats, the Republicans, and the gone but not forgotten Bull Moose, often chooses a standard bearer who may become the Chief Executive of the Republic, the four-year ruler of some 110,000,000 souls. It is a cheapening of the world's greatest office. We are old enough to have outgrown it. Lincoln the Ideal Of President Coolidge BOSTON.—A man's character can often be judged by his ideals, by the expressed conception of his standards of perfection; and it is due to this fact that we, as citizens, are particularly interested at this time in everything that President Coolidge does, says, or writes. In his book entitled "The Price of Freedom" he clearly presents to the public his type of an ideal leader who he says of Lincoln, "No unless burdens held him back. No wilderness of tangled ideas bewildered his vision. For him, the outward show of the world was cast aside that he might be a larger partaker of reality." Of Lincoln's place in history, our President writes: "The place which Lincoln holds in the history of the nation is that of the man who finished what others had begun. What they had dared to dream of he dared to do. He does not lessen the glory of what he did; rather, he adds to it. They built a base that was sound and solid. They left plans by which it was to be finished. The base which they made was the Union. The plans which they drew and stated time and time again were for a free people. But Lincoln rises above them all in one thing. He never halted; he never turned aside. He followed the truth through to the end. * * He did not discover freedom; he showed that it had a power of its own. He was not the first one who had faith in the people; he was the first who dared to put that faith to the test of every truth. He opened up to the vision of mankind a new heaven and a new earth. That vision has not yet been fully realized, but people see it more and more clearly. They strive for it with greater success. * * Lincoln belongs to every age in which men struggle for an ideal. He belongs to every place where men fight for human rights." --- Mothers!

WRIGLEY WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT WRIGLEY'S WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT Sealed in its Purity Package Conventions Often Stamped by Well Organized Bands of Noise and Confusion Makers Both Parties Guilty MAGNIFICENT BARBARITY From the New York Evening Post The Tammany Tiger sounded his hunting call in the Democratic jungles yesterday. For about one hour and thirty minutes the demonstration for Governor Smith loosed its thunders upon the delegates. Galleries were crammed with leather-lunged shouters. Alies were crammed with tireless marchers. Crowds filling the "guest seats" were "r-rarin' to go." Their pent-up enthusiasm threatened to spill over and drown out the very excellent nominating speech of Franklin, D. Roosevelt. When their candidate, the favorite son of New York and of Tammany, was named the galleries let go. A magnificent howl shook the rafters. State standards danced and pranced. Bands blared unheard in the torrent of noise. Yet all the spontaneous cheering that roared from the floor and galleries could have been and was shouted out in the first fifteen minutes of the explosion. The remaining hour and a quarter was so much machine-made noise. So much "sound and fury, signifying nothing" other than a determination to make more noise and keep it up longer than the McAdoo demonstration of fifty-six minutes on Wednesday afternoon. It had been organized and prepared for weeks, from the six bands down to the last cowbell and "squawker." Wednesday night the Smith forces thought it would take them all of Thursday afternoon to get their demonstration over. It was seriously proposed that the convention so arrange its program. Convention officials, having some regard for the human cardrum, suggested it be cut down to less than two hours. As a matter of fact, heroic treatment had to be used to keep it going as long as it did. Nine times out of ten these demonstrations are arranged down to the last detail. These outbursts that sound and read so impressively are guided by agreements and handled under an unwritten code. They are directed and organized like a play or a paean. On occasion a Republican National Convention does exactly as the Democrats are now doing. These quadrennial party conclaves have become howling contests. The start and finish of these explosions may be foretold all most to the minute. When one of these organized human tornadoes gets started the convention veteran takes out his watch, notes the time and settles down in a din that sounds like a cross between a boiler factory and a dozen steam stoves.

The Flavor Lasts (Lincoln News Service) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1988 LIBERIA'S HOUR OF OPPORTUNITY HAS NOW STRUCK (Continued from page 5) the Africans at home and the Africans abroad should be so fully fitted to take up the normal development of the fatherland? Was it by haphazard, adventitious circumstances that the history of the race for the last 200 years has been what it is? Is it for naught that, like Israel of old, our people were enslaved in foreign parts, and not that they might be led out of Egypt a peculiar people, with a great spoil? No, the writing on the wall is too clear that the hour of Ethiopia has sounded, and she is bound to come into her own. What are the apoils that this peculiar people shall bring back to mother Africa? The new African shall come back with all the apoils of science and modern knowledge in its unlifting qualities, and shall cause this our land, to flow with milk and honey not for the enjoyment of the foreign parasite, but for the nourishment of Ethiopia's own children. Of course, that is a hyperbole. The new African shall not be aggressive. He shall not be an offense to anyone. His motto will be: "Live and let live." But then, of course, evil will be to hhn who evil thinketh. Awakened to Sense of Nationhood Our continent awaits to be opened up. Why. In the name of reason should not the African take part in the opening up of his own continent? Why should he not build railways open up mines, cause cities to rise in desolate places, found governments and force the respect of men. Indeed, why not? One thing certain that our people are by now thoroughly awakened to a sense of nationhood, and they mean to do for themselves what others have done for themselves. Can anyone blame them? Was not the world to be made safe for democracy, in the famous aphorism of Woodrow Wilson, the late lamented ex-President of the United States? Were not weaker peoples to be assisted in the vindication of their cause? Who then can say the African may when he means to do for himself? That's the rub. Will the nations assist, or will they thwart? In any event, this people must live and thrive on its own soil unless it be possible again to shackle both body and soul. Since it is not, the only possible solution is: "Live and let live." I have reason to believe that mankind will be reasonable and give every race a chance upon its allotted portion of the earth. But, in any case, the African means to stick on like arm death, until he realizes his destiny. WHAT KEMAL PLANNED IN OUSTING THE CALIPH Divorced From Religious Influence, State Now Administers All Pious Foundations — West's Lesson Helps Turkish Leaders State and Religion Divorced BY CLARENCE K. STREIT In the New York Evening Post CONSTANTIOPLE, June 21—The control of the Caliphate, and of the Straits were considered the two areas in the hands of the Turks. Angola began by making the Caliph simply a spiritual figurehead. That left an ambiguous situation. No one was certain whether the Caliph of all the Moors or the President of the republic took precedence in Turkey. The Caliph was on the road of becoming a sort of Moslem Pope, and Angola feared that Turkey would soon be troubled by a long dispute similar to that between the Vatican and the Quarrel in Rome. Moreover, the Colph, Abdul Medhul represented the old order too much to make the Kismalai's feel comfortable. He was a member of the dynasty of Osman which had ruled the Turks for seven centuries. True enough, he was an enlightened man and a saintricter patron, but the very facts that nothing could be charged against him and that he was popular made him all the more dangerous to Angola. Islamic Pomp Was Menace As long as he drove in pumph through the streets of Constantinople to public prayer on Fridays he served to remind the people of the old order. As long as he and the other members of the House of Osman remained in the imperial palaces, they formed the natural rallying point of all those who were discontented with Angora's rule, the potential instrument of conservative and religious reaction. It was a question of nipping in the bud the danger represented by the attempt made to compromise between the religious system of Islam and the laical system of the West. Kemal saw that the longer a decision was put off the more difficult it would be to solve the situation. In secret conferences with the Turkish editors and army officers he persuaded them that the time was ripe for a thoroughgoing Moslem reformation. Then, after public opinion had been prepared by a week of intensive propaganda, he had the Assembly act. The Caliphate was abolished, so far -s Turkey was concerned. The Caliph and all the numerous princes and princesses of the dynasty were immediately expelled. The Ministry of Religious Affairs was abolished. All Religious Schools Closed The Pious Foundations, representing an estimated total value of $1,000,000,000, which supported the mosque and other religious institutions, were taken over by the State. All the religious schools and courts were closed. The Ministries of Public Instruction and Justice are being completely reorganised on a purely Western and local basis. Lastly, the Koram, which Islam has never allowed to be written in any Moslem language, save the original Arabic, which few save the Arabs can understand, has now been ordered translated into Turkish. And all these far-reaching reforms, each of which caused such bitter civil war in the West, have been made in Turkey without the shedding of a single drop of blood, without even the need of declaring martial law for an hour. When the Shadow of God and all the Imperial House of Osman was sent into exile there was no such public outcry as that which arose ten years before when the dogs were sent away from Constantinople. There is one explanation of the remarkable tranquility with which Turkey has changed from one of the most theocratic into one of the most laical of states. In the centuries of strife in the West the seeds were scattered in the East and the fruit of Islamic reform had ripened unperceived in Turkey. It needed only a bold hand to pluck it. Crime and Love of Money Ruling the Course of Justice (From The Louisville Leader) Crime in America almost overwhelms her. Criminals ply their nefarious business with astounding brazenness and impunity while decent, law-abiding citizens wonder and deplore. The situation has its roots. One of the tappoots is money. Men's hearts are hungry, their brains are crazy, their palms are itching (or dolls). In the chance to get dollars, morality, peace, happiness, security of life and property, degency, patriotism, honor, all become nothing. Which will the judge have, a decent and safe community or money? Two often he takes the money and sends the criminal element from his court laughing at the law and licensed to prey upon the community. Which will the police, the guardians of the peace, do, accept the bribe or arrest the law-breakers? Two often they will accept the bribe and leave the law-breaker checking at the law and smiling at the meaninglessness of blue coats and braces buttons. Will the lawmakers enact laws guaranteed to insure order and the public welfare or will they how the knee for the hand of gold and fill their persons with that which corrupt laborists and corporations depend on to defeat the true ends of legislation. Two often legislators vilely hate and put the public at the mercy of those elements that care nothing for law and decency. Crime is not only murder and theft, it is any violation of law. This gravy of crime is doing our thirst, certain it is driving men, certain crime with regard to crime, it is gradually destroying that sense of repugnance to wrong doing which is a strong factor in keeping men straight. It is taking away that fear of the law, which is a large part of the stress of the law. Money has to be given when the love of it is given, and will take so that they will be given to those who have given them position and authority.

ALLIES READY TO HELP FRANCE IF ATTACKED Herriot Announces Promises Made by Great Britain and Belgium—Germany to Enter the League BRUSSELS, June 24 (Associated Press).—Premier Herriot of France, who arrived here last evening after his conference with the British Prime Minister at Chequera Court, has received formal assurance that Great Britain and Belgium will aid France, as they did in 1914, in case another unjustified attack is made upon her, he is quoted as declaring in an interview published by the Independence Belge. "In case of premeditated aggression by Germany," he said, "I have the assurance of a defensive part that would bind France, England and Belgium. I have the most formal promise that now, as in 1914, a German attack would bind England standing with France and Belgium." A warning to the German Government that it is to its interest to show evidence of good faith by replying frankly before June 30 to the Ambassador's note concerning the resumption of military control was decided upon by Heriot and MacDonald during the course of their conversations at Chequers Court, it is learned from an authoritative source. A note will be forwarded to Berlin as the Belgian Cabinet has taken organization of the text and approved it.

We Are Barred Out of West Point Military and Ahnapolis Naval Academies, and Must Fight While Waiting to Break the Bar A very far reaching question has been raised in the matter of the future, of Howard University, situated at Washington, in the District of Columbia, and dependent in a large measure upon the appropriation annually, which the Congress has been voting it as a gratuity since 1879, and which gratuity has been subjected to the whims of Congressional cranks, one or more, whose objections have been and are sufficient to jeopardize the granting of the gratuity. It is beside the question that Howard University had a sufficient endowment from its founder, General Oliver O. Howard. The question is, Shall the Government take over control of Howard University and make adequate appropriation annually for its proper and effective conduct as a school of higher education for the Negro people? We have our own opinion about it, which we set forth in the editorial columns of The Negro World today; but for the purposes of the school itself we give herewith an article on the subject by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, who, we imagine, does not need, willing speak for the authorities of the university, who, when the appropriation was jeopardized in the last Congress, did not show that they were disposed to think alike and hang together. Prof. Miller says: Several bills are now pending in Congress to place Howard University under control of the government through the existing bureau or the proposed department of education. The Secretary of the Interior in his recent address at the Howard commencement stated that he expected or hoped to see this event consummated before the next annual graduation. The reason for this proposal is obvious. The governmental grant to Howard University is a precarious gratuity. It has been renewed for forty-five years by the grants, grace and goodness of Congress. There is no law or statutory authorization for this appropriation. Up to the present Congress a point of order by a single member would lie against it in the House of Representatives, though such a point might be overruled in the Senate. But if now develops that, by recent rule of the upper chamber, like objection will lie against it in that body also. This doubles the precariousness of our appeal. Several times this appropriation has been thrown out of the House on a point of order, only to be restored by the Senate. But now it depends upon unanimous consent of both houses. Basically, however, this appropriation rests upon the moral equity of the colored race, which all parties and all sections of the country fully appreciate and recognize. But its accomplishments is jeopardized by a parliamentary technicality and may be defeated by the objection of two members, one in either house. The legislators of the country realizing the difficulty and danger of the situation have proposed to relieve the uncertainty by frankly making the support of Howard University a governmental obligation, instead of a gratuity, so that the administration will not have annually to beg of Congress as a mendicant that which belongs to the colored race as a right. Howard University was chartered by the Congress of the United States, not because of its national aim and purpose, but because it was located in the District of Columbia, of which Congress is the local legislature. All incorporated organizations of this jurisdiction must receive their charter from the same source. The university was the outgrowth of the ill-fated Freedmen's Bureau, and for some time was fostered through help from that source. But no were MAKE MONEY Big Profits to Agents New Catalogue Ready Premium, 5 and 10 cent goods, varieties, bazaars and fair goods. Also colored dots, pictures, post cards and calendars. A fine line of Christmas goods. scores of schools founded by General O. Howard. In his capacity as head of that branch of the government which had charge of the interest of the freedmen. The national intent of the University really began with direct congressional appropriations. This was begun under the administration of President Patton, in 1879. The Freedom's Bureau had been abolished amid much confusion and rumors of scandal and corruption. The props upon which the University rested were suddenly pulled away. There seemed little or no hope for the institution, according to the plan and purpose of the founders. President Patton saved the day by turning to Congress for relief. This was a mere expediency in the midst of an emergency. But he, built differently, if not better, than he knew. This act profoundly changed the character of the university and gave it a basis of claim as the national university for the colored race. I doubt if there is any other single act in the history of Negro education that is fraught with greater consequences than this. This act alone gives to William W. Patton a fixed place in the history of Negro education. But for this happy consummation at this critical juncture the future course of the university can only be a matter of curious speculation. Would private philanthropy have come to the rescue or would it have died of malnutrition? From the meager beginning of ten thousand dollars, the annual appropriations have gone on steadily increasing until now they amount to some two hundred thousand dollars. The gratuity has been multiplied by twenty in forty-five years, and yet it is still a gratuity. The next significant step in the progress of this appropriation occurred under the administration of President Thickleid. So far as I can learn, it had been the policy of the government from the foundation until then never to grant a building or any permanent contribution to a private institution. President Thickleid persuaded the government to give the university a science building at a cost of $20,000, which was easily equal to two hundred thousand dollars today. He also secured from the same source a building for applied science, as a cost of $20,000. Upon the basis of this foundation, the university has up to date secured buildings of upward of a half million dollars from the federal government. Not only so, but the government was induced to operate a joint heating plant for Howard University and the Freedmen's Hospital, which is federally owned and operated. The statutory relation of the university and Freedmen's Hospital blind this institution to the government by bonds that are all but indisoluble. An Exceptional Case I dare say that this is the only instance in the United States where the government has erected buildings and gone into co-partnership with a private institution. The matter has now gone so far that the government can hardly let go if it would; and the university would not let go if it could. No one thinks that the relationship should be severed. The nail driven by President Patton and clinched by President Thirkield can not be withdrawn. The continuance of governmental assistance is essential to the continuance of the university on the grade and scale which it has assumed. There is little enthusiasm among Northern philanthropists for the higher education of the Negro as planned and projected by Howard University. He is indeed an impossible optimist who would rely upon private philanthropy to carry on the work already inaugurated and to-enlarge and expand it to meet the needs and aspirations of the race. Indeed, philanthropy has all but reached the maximum in this field. The curve is bound to decline with the waning enthusiasm for the pretension of the non-white breed for equality with Nordic arrogance and pride. The colored race at present has not the organized purpose to maintain by direct contribution this great educational estate. It is only aure and obtaining formation upon open the Federal Government as a just and equitable dispenser of the taxes contributed by Negro taxpayers. The proposed governmental authorization would make Howard University in truth and in deed, in right and in law, the national Negro University, broad based upon the black man's claim for equality of treatment at the hands of the Federal Government. The matter is of vital concern to every colored man and woman in the United States. The proposed federalization of Howard University is undoubtedly the most significant step ever taken affecting Negro education. Far-reaching Transformation The transformation will be far-reaching and profound. At present the university is owned, operated and controlled by a private corporation of self-responsible trustees for the advancement of the colored race. They have been able to persuade the government to contribute to its partial support on the grounds of obvious necessity and duty. The government has stood as a stepmother to the university. The appropriations have been generous and magnificent, only in view of the left-handed relationship of Federal authority. But as measured against the magnitude of the task to which these grants have been applied, they have been lamentably meager and inadequate. The Government of the United States contributes less to the support of Howard University with the clientele of ten million than the clientele of West Virginia grants to its State college for the higher education of 100,000 Negroes. The State normal school for colored students at Cheyney, Pa., is asking for a grant of $800,000, as against the $200,000 which Congress grants to Howard University. There is not a progressive state in the country where separate schools exist that does not appropriate a larger allowance for the maintenance of the higher level of Negro education than Congress allows Howard University. But when the government assumes the responsibility we may expect that the provisions will be adequate to the task assumed. It will then not be a question of minimum amount, but merely a question what aim the institution can use to good advantage in the fold in which it operates. This will be an experiment in government control of education. At present the Bureau of Education has no clearly defined function in the continental United States. It is mainly a statistical agency for the dissemination of educational knowledge and information. It does, however, operate schools in the oversea possessions of the nation. When, as has been proposed, this bureau is raised to the rank of a cabinet department of the government its function will necessarily be enlarged. Howard University, if included, will doubtless be the most important educational interest that it will be called upon to handle. Just how far this contemplated transformation may aweve the institution, from its mapped out course, how far political manipulation may get in its alien work, how the educational destiny of 10,000,000 Negroes may be affected thereby, are deep-fraught questions which will tax the statesmanship of the trustees, faculty, alumni and friends of the university and of the whole Negro race. The suggested legislation is of deepest concern to all who are interested in the higher education of the Negro and whose duty it is to think upon these things. THE FALLEN PRINCE OF By N.

S., June 16—Local Chinese will join with their countrymen in other cities throughout the Dominion in the observance of July 1 as "Humiliation Day," it was announced last evening by Robert Wong, secretary of the Halifax branch of the Chinese Nationalist League. The day has been thus named and will be observed annually as the result of offending immigration regulations which require that every one in Canada of Chinese origin, regardless of birthplace, age or sex, must report to the immigration officials before June 30 for registration. They must give the sentient facts of their personal history and present the department with photographs of themselves bought at their own expense. LIFE EXPECTATION OF NEGROES IS MUCH GREATER Two Million Negro Policy Holders in the Metropolitan Life—Average Negro Baby Can Count on Forty-eight Years of Life A REMARKABLE SHOWING TORONTO, July 2—Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, addressed the National Conference on Social Work today on the subject of "The Effect of Health Education on Negro Mortality." "The Negroes are only a generation behind the health achievement of the white people of the country," said Dr. Dublin, "not a serious handicap to overcome when we consider that they have had control of their destinies for only a little more than half a century and have been served by health, conserving agencies for even a shorter period. The pessimism which prevailed twenty-five or thirty years ago with regard to the future of the Negro is no longer even remotely justified." A race, still living in many areas under primitive conditions of sanitation and often from hand to mouth, is today enjoying a life expectancy just about that of the white people of America only thirty or forty years ago." Dr. Dublin based his statements upon the mortality experience of the 15,000,000 industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which group includes nearly 2,000,000 Negroes. The detailed mortality records of the company began in 1911. In that year the Negro death rate was 17.5 in 1,000 insured persons; in 1923 the rate had dropped more than one-sixth, or to 14.5 in 1,000. The average Negro baby at birth today can expect to live to be more than 48 years of age; the average white baby can only count on living 68 years, and this high expectancy has only been attained in the last few years. This decrease of the death rate among Negroes engaged in industrial work is all the more remarkable. Dr Dublin considers, because this population group resides almost entirely in crowded sections of cities where, heretofore, the Negro death rate has been exceptionally high. In the Registration States of the United States for 1921, the last year available, the death rate among Negroes living in the rural part was 13.3 per 1,000, as contrasted with 10.6 for whites, where the rate in the cities was 19.7 per 1,000, as against 11.8 for the whites. Tuberculosis has been and still is the outstanding cause of death among the colored people, this statistician reports. One of every six Negro persons ultimately dies of this disease, but great improvement has been made in recent years. In 1911 tuberculosis was responsible for 418 deaths for each 100,000 Negro persons insured in the Metropolitan; in 1923 the rate had dropped to 246, or nearly one half. "The mortality among the Negro policy holders from tuberculosis is beginning to look like that among the whites only twenty years ago, when the tuberculosis campaign was begun." states Dr. Dublin. "Nothing indicates so well the general health condition of a race as the incidence of tuberculosis, and nothing reflects so well an improvement in its mode of life as does a big drop in this death rate. There can be no question that this improvement in tuberculosis is the result of great advances in the economic and social condition of the Negro people. The Negro people have, as a race, good physiques and they are learning all the time how to take better care of themselves in relation to their changing environment." Much of the credit for the improved health standards of Negroes should be given to the various health agencies who have been working among them. Distribution of health literature, attendance of visiting nurses in illness, advice to mothers regarding their own care and the care of babies, recommendation for periodical health examinations—all these welfare measures have helped bring about this reduction in the Negro death rate, Dr. Dublin believes. Negro children show the greatest improvement in mortality of any age group, he shows, and this is undoubtedly due to the gradual and persistent education of Negro mothers in how to feed and care for their offspring. In the four communicable diseases of childhood—measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria—a decline of 33 percent in deaths was recorded between 1911 and 1923, and in all of these except whooping cough the death rates for Negro children, were uniformly lower than for whites. The tuberculosis deaths among Negro children less than 15 years have been cut in half in this thirteenth-year period. Great improvement has been made in regard to typhoid fever and pneumonia, which, according to Dr. Dublin, indicate better sanitary conditions surrounding the Negro people. Their present high mortality rate results largely from the chronic degenerative diseases, as cerebral hemorrhage, organic diseases of the heart and chronic nephritis. Cancer and diabetes, too, have increased in mortality figures since 1911. Syphilis and its sequelae are becoming more John Brown's body trampled Pat Harrison at the opening of the Democratic Convention. Senator Harrison was on the program. John Brown was not. His soul took to march suddenly, and the keynote orator found himself underfoot. With his speech two-thirds behind him, Senator Harrison provoked a demonstration. He cried out for "the matchless statemanship, far-flung vision and the fine fighting qualities of a Woodrow Wilson." And the convention sled into tumult. When Wilson lived his name was not tinder to set off kindling. It seemed incongruous yesterday that the mention of the dead leader should move delegates, to march with swinging standards to the tune of "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here." But there is seldom any clear definition of feeling in convention excitement. The cause of the original impulse becomes blurred almost with the first shout. After that you have simply emotion, loose, churning about and seeking a channel. And that how was the body of John Brown began to march among the Democrats. Singer Eclipse Orator Harrison took advantage of the demonstration to sit down and rest and get congratulated, and as he say a little back, of his place before the amplifier, the speaker's platform was left clear for a moment. When Harrison looked up again Anna Case was standing in his spot. Miss Case came to the convention to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" immediately after the opening prayer, and she had sung "The Star-Spangled Banner," but she was too fine and experienced an artist to sit by peacefully and let a well-oiled audience thump around in that manner without leadership. "And so she sang again, and this time it was "John Brown's Body." To be sure, the words were those of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," but everybody knows that it really is "John Brown's Body." That the name it went by around Vicksburg when the Yanks were singing and Pat Harrison's great-uncles and grandfathers were shooting at them. There never was an orator who could compete with a singer in stirring up musc emotion. The orator has only his own voice, while the singer can invite the audience to join in the chorus. Anna Case did that, "Glory, glory, halebujah!" rang out from California to the Canal Zone. The parade ground of John Brown grows wider. Pat Harrison sat and smiled at the lovely lady in the white dress and the black hat. She sang another verse and led another chorus and the Senator from Mississippi ceased smiling. Here were keynotes a little beyond the range of his voice. It would be hard, he knew, to drag the delegates back from part singing to Republican villains in tax legislation. He贴了Harrison's "Brogue" to Pat Harrison's chair forward so that Miss Case missed the top of his head by very little as she swung her right hand to keep the delegates in thine. Now there was dumb appeal in his face as Gab looked at Anna Case. She drew one more hind "hallibutch" from the delegates and then turned the convention back to Pat Harrison, but he never quite had it again. After the soprano, he seemed a little less silver-tongued. John Brown had marched and the best that Pat Harrison could do was to follow after. Personally I was not altogether displeased to see Harrison lose his place in the spotlight. When he first spoke of the "Sinate" I accept it as imprinted brogue. His "mummies" and "find" and even his "president" I took to be legacies from the distressed and Emerald Island. "The armament cnhfrance" puzzled me, but that, too, I was willing to comede to him. But after the speech was all done I learned that Pat Harrison is not Irish at all or anything, approaching Irish. His name isn't Pat. He was christened Byron. The full name is Byron Patton Harrison. The Pat has been adopted because Mr. Harrison's political community has never heard of Byron and, if they had, would not approve of him. Why Can't We Also Get a Ship Loan? WASHINGTON, June 27. -Approximately five and a half million dollars has been loaned by the Shipping Board to date to private shipping interests for construction of new tonnage, according to a summary of loans from its construction loan fund, announced today by the board. The loans were made to four companies for construction of four combination freight and passenger vessels and two light-draft lake vessels.

A more extensive campaign against venereal disease is advocated, to improve their welfare and lower their death rate. Subject—"The Tempel of Propanation." Test—Rom v. 3. III. But—need I say it—it is in the revelation of Christianity that we have learned the sense of the two God—His burning love, His outraged tenderness—in the mysteries of the incarnation and passion of Jesus Christ. Dear Lord Jesus! What am I, "I" what is "mature," but each a faint and fittel echo? Thine is the voice that proclaims the Revelation, as ever a Revelation of Love. Notice, my friends, shortly, wherein God's, dearest gift—well, one of God's dearest gifts to the character of His creature, is our ready open-heartedness to unmerited suffering. And here I venture to touch, in passing, on a subject on which perhaps we may be so unfortunate as to differ. I hope not. From my heart I hope not. But should it be so, I must beg your pardon if I speak my mind. It is, I think, that abiding sympathetic admiration for unmerited suffering, which lately aroused so widely in this country a sense of horror, at the really "devilish cruellies" (as they) have been called, and as I think them) of vivisection. This sense of horror has been aneered at, not, I hope, a sneered down, under the sobriquet of sentiment. It needs, however, a very highly-trained scientific intellect to overcome it, and for my part, I hope, that all such scientific training will "go the way of all the earth," rather than succeed in effecting one of the most ennobling endowments of man. Now, it is this sense which is occupied by divine grace, and brought face to face with the Passion of Jesus Christ. And, if science has sometimes wrested from nature undue mysteries, by the crenities of the dissecting room, and the agonies of unwilling, but helpless animals, we, too, have learned fearful and blessed secrets from the vivisection of the Crucifix. What have we learned? Surely, in that generosity of suffering, in that willing surrender of immeasurable pain, we have read the love of God for us (for He was God), and there, more than by any other teaching, learned hatred of the vivisector—Sin. I have said willing suffering for, amidst life's dim twilight, what do we see upon the cross? We see God, gazing with blood-dimmed eyes far into the secrets of Eternity, seeing there a need of an atonement for the happiness, and rescue of our race: the hearts within leap up at the hope of the atonement, as they are fired by its love. We cannot explain the mystery, but we feel the need, and we feel the majesty and goodness of the Eternal in battle with sin. What do we see on the cross? We see the Representative shain, in a perfect achievement of submission, in a complete triumph of constancy. In an entirely willing humiliation and accepted pain, and thus vindicating the claims of a ruined race to a "hope of glory," and winning for it the merit of meditation, and the grace of God. O' cross of Jesus to vision of revolution! Here combine all evidences of sin, all witnesses of divine compassion, teaching the heart that yearns for teaching, "hated of sin," and Jesus, "love of Time." Yes, the true sense of alm, and the true love of God, are combined, and evidenced, and taught most perfectly at the cross. Remember, "God is love", and the revolution by Christianity of that dearest truth is the real of divine sanction set to her mission among men, "God is love" and to being that home to the heart of a sinner is, in fact, to revolutionize his life. In whatever character our dear Master comes, He is the great Revelator, and commands the love of God. To the early Christians, the vision of the "Good Shepherd" was the solace of their weary lives; to the martyr the thought of His coming with His conquering saints taught still the same. But to all us to all mankind, when the will is submitted to His will, and the mind opened to His teaching, in the mystery and tragedy of the Passion are unveiled at once the depth of man's sorrow and the truth of God's love. From that, from that alone, by the power of the teaching Spirit, there is flashed a new light on the longing soul. It was once proud and indifferent because it was false; now it is tear-stained heart-subdued, but calm and hopeful, in penitential sorrow, because in the face of divine love, condemned in the mysteries of divine agony, it has learned at last to be true. Hear me. "God is love." For each of us Christ died. Are you striving to live by faith in Him? "Above all, in every difficulty, trust Him. In every darkness see Him. He will never leave you alone.

National Baptist Complete Program for Child Meeting CONCENTRATE, Ohio (Second)—All meetment was made here this week that the Executive Board of the N ational Baptist Convention settled the work of its program here last week. The meeting was presided over by Dr. John Bismund Wood, the president, and was attended by fully two hundred representative Baptist ministers from every section of the United States. Two full days were consumed in pre- paration for the work to be fully consummated at the coming national con- vention to be held in Chicago, Ill. September 10-15. Dr. Wood, when seen here this week, was enthusiastic over the prospects of an enlarged attendance and a great meeting. The report of the Gold work was made by Dr. David E. Over, of Denver, Colo., who had traveled the United States, going from his Denver home as far west as the Pacific Coast. His report of the conditions and prospects for those to attend the Chicago meeting was one of the big features of the meeting. Dr. Woods emphasized of the budget that has been carefully outlined consumed much of the first day, but the final work of the big achievement was the making up of the program and the selecting of those to serve therese for the five days they will be in session in the Chicago meeting. A special committee consisting of Rev. J. L. Harding of Tennessee, President John E. Wood and Dr. John H. Frank, the editor of the Union-Review, to see that the program is printed at once and circulated, was authorized, and Dr. Wood is to issue the official call as soon as he reaches his office in Danville, Ky. The corresponding secretary of the convention, Dr. S. J. Jones, of Muskogee, Okla., is to immediately notify those who have been selected to serve. Health! Health! Health!

DIVISION On Sunday afternoon, June 18, at Carpenter's Hall, the Oakland Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held another of its instructive and interesting programs before a large and appreciative audience. The Juveniles were at their best, with a number of new additions that were highly appreciated by all present. Miss Mary Clark was the first to appear, and recited verses from the 24th Psalm. Edgar Lebreere was next, with a splendid contribution telling the audience the significance of the letters U N I A. Miss Rosemary Lebreere gave a beautiful reading dealing with the changes brought about by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. To make the program of the Juveniles an overwhelming success, Master Joseph Johnson (chaplain of the Juveniles) recited a selection urging the members to be ever alert in their actions and deliberations, for the future of the coming generations rested with the elders. Mrs. Covington, first lady vice-president and matron of the Juveniles, made a ringing appeal to all parents to send their little ones out for real training in racial psychology. A wonderful lecture was given by Dr Boisselaire on the theory of applied psychology. The significance of co-operation was brought to our attention to successfully develop our program. The value to the entire race of the thousands of meetings being held simultaneously at 3 p.m. each and every Sunday was particularly lauded and praised. In conclusion, the speaker urged all to continue to work for the realization of our destiny, for a people without a vision would surely perish. The reading of the President-General's message told of the stupendous work to be taken up by the delegates and representatives of the Negro peoples of the world in New York city, beginning August 1 and ending August 31. Next we referred to the reading of the colonization plans of the Cavalla colony in Liberia. Every heart was made to rejoice on receipt of this joyful information. President T. E. Smith made a short talk on the vital features of the organization for the benefit of those present for the first time. Professor Ledbetter, a resident of Liberia, corroborated the possibilities of the Cavilla colonization scheme and emphasized the prospects for commercial development by a hearty co-operation with the natives. Prof. Ledbetter is to give a more extensive lecture at headquarters Friday night. Mr. Abdulailah Galli of Abbyssinia was introduced. In a few words he told of the decline of white supremacy all over the world. The bravery and independence of the Abbyssinians was uniquely explained in contrast to the cowardness and fear of the British exploiters. The much-searched after ostrich feather, that sold for 100 outside of Africa, brought only 10 cents each to the natives. Many others, intertwining facts, were made known that proved only to make more empathy the necessary for a united support of the program outlined by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. APTHUR S. GRAY Reporter Racial Education A program of rural education was readied by the participants of our university afternoon images meeting, to the delight and satisfaction of all concerned. The Juveniles were prepared with an interesting program that enthanced all present with the genuine spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Master Webster Cook contributed a poem selection that received well-received and invited applause. Miss Edmonson Johnson received a number entitled "Come On and Join the U. N. L. A." as part of course Master Joseph Johnson was present with one of his unique deliveries that has won for him the prediction of "future President of Africa." Prof Aaron Jordan, our financial secretary, made a wonderful address on the "Application of Acquired Education." The opportunity for an actual exercising of the Negro's acquired education on the great treatment of Africa was vividly portrayed by the brilliant and eloquent speaker. The realization that our great program demanded an unstinted finan- IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS and CHAPTERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, ESPECIALLY THOSE LOCATED IN THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA!

April 4, 1924. NEGRO WORLD NOTICE Any division of the U. N. L. A. not now receiving the Negro World regularly every week is asked to communicate immediately with The Circulation Dept. Negro World, 68 West 138th St. New York City cultural support as well as our sympathies and moral support were the final conclusions of this unpaid address. Mrs. R. A. Jones, our third lady vice-president, delivered an address on "Racial Impairment" that was indeed an educational treat. The futility of Negroes continually praying for opportunities and not making any preparation for the developing of them when they were given was scored by the fair speaker. The time for, real Negroes to defend the interests of the race against the demon prejudice by lining up with the rank and file of the U. N. I. A. was emphasized and heartily applauded. President T.-E. Smith in his address laid particular emphasis on the Negroes acquiring racial respect, for without that asset they would never solve the vexing race problem. Two clippings from the local newspapers were read, acquainting us of the plans of a white shipping concern to exploit and market the products of Western Africa, and another article informing us of the noble tribute paid to the "marvelous progress of the American Negro and the possibilities of his future development through the efforts of his own people and under his own leaders" by none other than the President of the United States, Hon. Calvin Coolidge, in an address delivered before the Negro students of Howard University. The local president took for his subject an analysis of these various articles in the following classified summary: "The Spirit of America." "The Mysterious Workings of God Almight." and "The Awakened Negro." Mr. Percy Buck of Los Angeles, a staunch Garveyite, was one of our distinguished visitors, and in a few pointed remarks asked that we pray for "the spiritual eyes to see, the spiritual ears to hear and the spiritual mind to understand the true principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." "Bleest Be the Tie" was sung, and all departed considerably benefited by the inestimable racial education imbibed. ARTHUR S. GRAY, Reporter. BANES, CUBA On Sunday evening of the 25th of May last the Sunday school of this division rendered a cantata at 4 p.m. Owing to the state of the weather, the attendance was small, so it was decided to repeat in June. Mr. C. M. Clark, chaplain and superintendent of the Sunday school, in his opening address said it was our bounden duty to help improve our children for service in the land of their forefathers. Mr. Geo. Douglas said that the children of today would be the parents of tomorrow, and, by attending to these little ones, now, we would be rendering invaluable service to future generation of Africans. The first item on the program was a recitation entitled: "Help Each Other Along." The program was a lengthy one which was beautifully rendered throughout. Indeed, the entire performance was stimulating and imparted courage and determination to carry on for the Redemption of Africa. At 7:50 p.m. the same day, a mass meeting was called to order by the sining of the opening ode. "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," after which the Scriptures were read by the chaplain, Mr. C. M. Clark. At this juncture we were favored with a solo by Mr. N. Fintahov, a member of the choir. The president, Mr. R. F. S. Blake, took as the subject of his address "Call a Halt." Mr. A. McLarry, second vice-president, next gave a short address in which he described the type of leaders necessary to carry out the work of African Redemption. Such leaders, he remarked, were born not made. At the close of this address we were treated to a recitation entitled: "Beautiful Flag of Mine." The meeting came to a close after an excellent address by Mr. J. Wilborough which breathed undying love. BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS Our last meeting was called to order at 5 p.m. by our Pro-President, W. J. E. Butler, after which a stirring message from the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey was read. A unanimous vote of thanks was returned for the message, the entire gathering standing the while. A few comments on the message were made by our president, who remarked that no nation attained manhood and dignity without struggles. He further remarked that no race on earth ever stood as much on God's side as the Negro race and cited biblical history in support of his contention. Thereafter the choir sang "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus." Mr. Warrington Jacobs, treasurer and choir conductor, gave an address, taking as his subject "Man," considered from a biblical point of view. A quintette composed of Misses Lillian Joseph, Lillian Stephens, Elen Wattley, Rebecca Clarke and Malys Blake gave an exquisite rendering of "Shining for Jesus." Mr. Arthur Longois, our next speaker, said we were one day nearer home. It would not be long and we would need no swords to fight with, but would soon go back home to our beloved Africa. Mr. Josiah Lewis next took the stage and asked the audience to link up and try to get back to our home-Africa. Mr. Abraham Woodley, our last speaker, remarked that if God sent Moses He also sent Marcus Garvey. A few closing remarks by our pro-president brought a pleasant meeting to a close at 7 p.m. NOTICE TO DIVISIONS The Divisional News Department offers in the sending in of divisions.

BOSTON. MASS. The regular weekly meeting of the Boston Division was held on Sunday, June 1, at Butler-Hall, 1095 Tremont street. The proceedings were opened with the singing of "Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed with prayer by Father Oscar Hollinseed of St. Michael's African Orthodox Church. The minutes of the week of May 18 were read and adopted after the necessary corrections were made. The president, Charles Stewart, congratulated the auxiliaries for the wonderful showing which they had made at the opening meeting of the President-General's campaign on Sunday, May 25 at Jordan Hall. Mrs. Priscilla De Geneste, lady president, was the first speaker of the afternoon. During the course of her address the lady told of the spirit of enthusiasm she had gained by listening to the addresses delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. She also recited a poem of her own composition entitled, "Garvey to America Came." It was well received. Mr. Alexander Allen, second vicepresident, in a short but impressive speech, urged the parents to train their children in the right spirit of Garveyism and make them proud of their identity. William Munroe made a short address, the subject of which was "To thine ownself be true, and thou canst not then be false to others." During the course of the gentleman's address he urged his hearers to be up and doing for the good of the cause. Father Hollinsseed was the next speaker. The reverend gentleman remarked that all the well thinking people had come to the conclusion that the U. N. I. A. was the only solution of the Negro problem. The president made the principal address of the a" moon, the subject of which was "The Ensign of Liberty." The honorable gentleman started by telling of the pride, which dwelt in his heart as he cast his eyes and saw the Red, Black and Green facing the Stars and Stripes on the platform of Jordan Hall. After the reading of a most brutal lynching which took place in Florida he showed where there was no possible way of the Negro doing very much in America. The gentleman also remarked that if we wanted our boys to become presidents and senators, and that is the desire of many of the parents, we must first build a country. He closed by saying that the ensign of liberty will be waving over our motherland. Africa. This inspiring talk was received with much enthusiasm. The meeting was brought to a close with the occasional and the benediction was pronounced by Father Hollindeed. FLORIDA. CUBA In furtherance of the determination of the members of this division heartily supported by their energetic president, to make it one of the best in Cuba, a meeting was staged at Liberty Hall on Sunday, the 1st day of June, 1924. The meeting commenced in the customary manner by the singing of the opening ode and the offering of prayer. Our president then introduced Mr. S. Vandapole, first vice-president, as chairman for the evening. The following program was then gone through: Song by the choir, entitled "Jesus Lives." Recitation by Miss Luna Gordon. Recitation by Miss Albertina Green. Song by choir entitled "The Narrow Way." Address by Rev D. Ewatt. Recitation by Miss Rose Markland. Address by president.

At 7:30 p. m. the members reassembled for divine service, after which five new members were enrolled. While the swearing in took place, the banner and our flag were held aloft over the heads of the new members. The following program concluded the proceedings: Recitation enlisted "Men of Earth and Dust," by Kathleen Whyn. Song by the choir entitled "Further On." Address by Bro. Blake.

CIEGO DE AVILA, CUBA For the better, working of this division the night of May 26 was set apart for the nomination and election of officers. On that occasion our Liberty --- --- Hall was thronged with the members of this division. After the singing of the opening ode and the offering of prayer by the acting president, Mr. J. D. Boyce, all offices were declared vacant. Thereafter Mr. R. Vergo was, by a majority votes, elected chairman of the occasion. The names of the elected officers are as follows: Mr. J. D. Boyce, president; Mr. J. Gaynor, first vice-president; Mr. L. Livingston, second vice-president; Mr. M. B. Daveral, executive secretary; Miss Rachel Sleight, general secretary; Miss Hallete Douglas, lady president; Miss Albertina Sydney, lady vice-president; Mrs. Ella Vergo, treasurer; Mr. L. Miller, chairman of managing committee; Mr. Richard Vergo, chaplain; Mr. Clifford Dussard, captain of legions. The Ciego de Avila Division now solicits the co-operation and hearty support of all Negroes within its borders. Long Live Hon. Marcus Garvey! God save Africa! M. B. DAVERAL. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN Membership Drive Our division, No. 207, held a great meeting at 3:30 o'clock on the afternoon of June 8. After the opening exercises our president introduced S. R. Wheat, president of the West Side Division, No. 313, Chicago. President Wheat opened a hot fusillade on knockers and all senseless opponents of the U. N. I. A., and for 45 minutes held the audience spellbound. At the close of this speech there was great response to the call for new members. The evening meeting was heralded by sweet strains from our U. A. L. band, which drew a crowd estimated at 500 into Liberty Hall. At 8.45 President Hale again introduced S. R. Wheat, president of the Chicago division, who was the speaker of the evening. President Wheat spoke on the subject: "There Was War in Heaven." So stirring was the address that at its conclusion, crowds spontaneously rushed to the secretary and enrolled as new members. In continuation of the series of meetings being held as membership drive this division again assembled on Monday night, June 9, at 8.30 o'clock. After the opening ceremonies, our president introduced Mr. Nana Bill, who spoke briefly on the subject of "Caution as to How We Entertained Strangers." We always love to listen to this brother of ours, who is an ableman and who remained with us till the close of the meeting. After several others had spoken, the audience was again treated to a masterful address by our worthy friend. President Wheat. The series of meetings terminated on Sunday, June 15, with the encouraging results that we enrolled 147 new members and lifted $400 in the collection. During the week of June 5-16 the Milwaukee Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association conducted a membership rally and drive for funds. The campaign was a complete success, but credit for it must go wholly to Mr. S. R. Wheat, president of Division 313, Chicago, who spoke every evening to constantly increasing audiences. Our division campaigners report 175 new members and receipts for the week of $123.17 as a result of the campaign. Aside from the campaign Milwaukee experienced something new in the line of oratory, for our co-patriot, Mr. Wheat's addresses fall completely in the class of eloquence, everyone of them being masterpieces. Mr. Wheat delved into history clear back to the time of Adam, presenting facts that would convince anyone of the right-earness of the Garvey cause. Perhaps special mention should be made of his lecture Sunday, June 15, on "A Soulless Man," which eliminated even his own talks. His logical presentation of facts, his forceful arguments, his rebuffal of our 'enemies' claims, cannot be portrayed by pen. He must be heard to be appreciated, and it is doubtful if those citizens of Milwaukee who were lucky enough to hear him will ever forget him. We have about decided not to refer again to the week of June 8-16 as a membership and financial drive, but to call it henceforth "Wheat Week."

CONSUMERS CO. This division held a formal concert on May 25 last at Liberty Hall for the purpose of raising funds to send a delegate to the forthcoming International Convention of Negroes which will contend at Liberty Hall, New York, in the month of August next. This concert was well attended by members and friends of the U. N. I. A. After the opening exercises the president of the division, Mr. F. B. Van Roman, who occupied the chair, submitted the following program: The chairman in his closing remarks thanked the audience for the hearty response they made to the call of the division. He also thanked Mr. Richard Batchier, our chaplain and choir master, for the excellent program prepared by him and expressed the hope that Mr. Batchier would long continue to render similar service in the interest of the division. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem. JOHN WEBSTER, Gen. Sec. MONTREAL CANADA Enthusiasm is at all at its height. Yesterday's meeting (June 15), was characterized by an instructive address delivered by Dr. Wills, M. D. The doctor dealt with the overwhelming physical defects prevalent among the Caucasian race. He averred that it was becoming a serious national problem, which would also impel the manhood of our own race. "It was fast taking hold of us in the Western Hemisphere," the speaker continued. Originating in the nervous system, which is the chief seat of its operation, it was now producing a peculiar race of mentalizes generates. Concluding, Doctor Wills warned his hearers to discourage intermarriage with the Anglo-Saxon race. That Negroes should maintain their racial identity was the burden of the doctor's useful address, which won precluded applause. Seated on the platform were Messrs. Sealey, Symonds, Glirn, Dr. Wills, Mrs. O'Brien, and the chair. Mr. Marshallock occupied the chair. Mr. Marshallock spoke on racial solidarity and read a few poetic selections in support of his theme. Mr. Sealey rendered a flute solo. Mr. Russel displayed a few African exhibits contributed for the occasion by friends of the Vancouver branch. The stock list is estimated thus: Miss Edwards, Mrs. De Shield, Mr. McMannett, Mr. Gates, Mr. Lewis and Tom Jacks, of 6 Faukum street, Chestnut, Manchester, England. Mr. Jacks is a native of British West Africa. The local will hold a moonlight excursion on July 3, to be followed by the annual picnic on August 1. District Grandmaster Brother Lomax, of Newton, Mass., is a visiting delegate to the Maple Leaf Lodge. The Household of Ruth celebrated their annual Thanksgiving service in the Union Congregational Church on the 5th inst. The service was pronounced good. Next week we will give a summary of local social conditions as they in- dicate. Yesterday's (June 22) attendance was fairly good. Mr. Alfred Potter was the principal speaker. He gave a review of the political conditions existing in the British Empire.

S. A. the organization of Marmara's cultural people would say that the dominating factor in fostering local moral amusements. Mr. Fetts gave instances of colored men acquainting their fortunes on women of opposite sexes, and then pronounced this tendency as a stopping stoke to racial degeneracy. The speaker dwelt on the folly displayed by Negro men in gambling all their fortunes, leaving their wives and families to suffer from cold, hunger and depravity. He deplored the lethargy on the part of the colored people, here, and urged his hearers to go forward. The speaker's address was well received. Dr. Willis will contribute to The Negro World a series of articles on "Physical Defects Among the Races." The doctor is a aplendid speaker and always has a good story to tell. His addresses are generally useful and worthy of print. Dr. Willis is a graduate both of Mehari University and of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. There are two other colored physicians in the city, Dr. Gaspard, M. D., of Laval University, who has been a resident of this city for several years. He is a popular figure and rendered conspicuous service to the U. N. I. A. We are profoundly indebted to him for the offices he has given in all his earlier exhibitions. He may perhaps be in France. The other purposes for Mr. Trouwm. M. D. Dr. Trouwm. is also proud. He is a graduate of Quincy University, and possesses a wide knowledge of classical literature. Popular, scholarly and interesting, he knows how to steal light into the brains of his friends. A successful career is to accompany his undertaking. Mra. D. Shield is better. Under the auspices of Meena Trott and Marshallleek the local will hold its annual moonlight excursion on July 8, when it is to be hoped that all Montreal will turn out. Judging from reports received from the pleasure seekers who enjoyed the excursions in the past one may rest assured that an enjoyable evening is to be anticipated. Refreshments will be served. There will be dancing on board and presumably the Royal Orchestra will furnish the music. CHARLES H. ESTE. EXPERT PIANO TUNING GUARANTEED. JAMES B.

BOYS, SALUTE THE FLAG, THE RED, BLACK, GREEN may laugh, but don't you mind. When the tricolor comes along, salute and let them think what they please. For of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is never another so full of meaning to mankind as the flag of our country, Africa. To the Editor of The Negro World: When you see the tricolor of the Red, Black and Green displayed, boys, stand up and take off your hats.

It has already been used most effectively in hundreds of cases in varying stages of tuberculosis, and many gratifying results reported even in obstinate cases where all other treatments tried had failed. One well-known physician makes the following comments upon it. He says: "Relief is almost immediate. Cases of the chronic type have responded to the treatment by cessation of coughing, reduced expectoration, elimination of blood in sputum, renewed vigor, restored appetite and a general robustness of constitution." After suffering the miseries of pulmonary Tuberculosis and catarrhal troubles for seven years, Charles Blevins of Denver, Colorado, reports gaining nine pounds in 28 days after following a simple treatment at home. "I have made great improvement already, he says, and am convinced that my wonderful change has been brought about by this method. My weight had previously dropped down from 150 pounds to 130. I was cold and chilly all the time, my nervous system seemed to be shattered and my sleep was broken by constant coughing. After commencing the Haelen method of treatment, my cough has now almost entirely disappeared. I sleep soundly and wake refreshed every morning. I eat most any kind of food and feel warmed up all over." This Haelen method which Mr. Blevins praises so highly was disapposed at the University of Vienna Anyone suffering from weak lungs, feverishness, pain in chest, sunken, sallow cheeks, blue lips, cold hands and feet, tired feeling, bowel disorder or loss of health, strength and vigor, may now test this effective treatment without risking any money.

Methodist Bishops Indorse Interracial Good Relations SPRINGFIELD, MASS.—The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in their recent address to the General Conference in recession in Springfield, gave their warm endorsement to the movement recently developed in the South for the adjustment of race relations by the methods of conference and co-operation. This is significant as an indication of the growing understanding and sympathy which is binding the different sections of the country together. It is also a notable tribute to the effectiveness of the interracial plan which is now being widely worked in the South. The Interracial Commission referred to was organized in Atlanta, at the close of the war, and now has state and local committees to the number of 800 in thirteen Southern States. The Bishops' statement referred to is as follows: Madame Rhoda's Celebrated 14 Articles for Hair and Scalp Live, wide-awake Race woman making good. Learn courses on easy terms: $5 per month.

The above program will be exhaustively discussed at our forthcoming convention, and it is natural to expect that the best minds of our race will be sent as representatives to take part in these discussions. All branches and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all other organizations, societies and churches are invited to attend the convention and to take part in its general discussions. Delegates, as usual, will be coming from Africa, Europe, Asia, the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and the forty-eight States of the American Union. This will be a big time for the Negro race. During the night sessions of the convention (the convention will be night and day for the thirty-one days of the month of August) severed of the prominent white leaders of America will speak to the delegates. We are expecting the presence of several Senators, Congressmen and leaders in American public life and education. Among the important items to be discussed, as outlined by the above program, will be the formation of the Negro Political Union. This union will consolidate the political forces of the Negro through which the race will express its political opinion in America, in the islands of the seas and in all communities where the Negro forms a part. The Political Union shall represent the political hopes and aspirations of the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America on American questions, domestic to America, and shall represent the interests of the millions of Negroes of the West Indies in their different and respective islands affecting domestic political questions, and so also in the scattered communities of Africa. The union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negroes all over the world, but each country or community will have its own domestic program for the betterment of the race, in that country or community. But the strength of the union shall be given to any community or country to politically assist it in putting over its political program. As, for instance, if the Negroes of America were politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for the benefit of the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the disposal of the American section. If the Negroes of Trinidad desired to carry out any political measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength in assisting them, and so with any community where the Negroes live throughout the world. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the interests of the Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Let us all, therefore, work for the successful consummation of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we may be able to glory in a brighter day industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically.

Among the agencies which we should heartily support are the University Race Commission, composed of southern educators; the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, composed of both races, men and women; and the Commission on Interracial Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ. We call our people to associate themselves actively with these agencies, and other organizations for the promotion of peace and good will toward men everywhere, so that there shall be less friction and more co-operation, less suspicion and more confidence less hatred and more Christian love." may appeal the ruling of Judge Wilkerson, as he says a Supreme Court ruling is at variance with the Wilkerson decision.

Wilkerson today opened the way for $1,900 Syrians and $6,600 Armenians, now in this country, to become citizens. It is held that they are Semitic, instead of Asiatic, and therefore came under the classification of "free white peoples." In a similar case last month Federal Judge George A.

Schlittfelt, chief naturalization officer, SECCION EN ESPAÑOL nor La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra Debemos unificarnos universalmente para deshacernos de los enemigos de la raza que tratan de entorpecer su progreso—El peor de nuestros males—El programa actual de nuestra organización uno de los mas importantes—En nuestro camino hacia le realización de nuestras aspiraciones—Apelación a nuestro pueblo para llevar avante nuestras empresas En la gran batalla con el propósito de llegar a la meta de nuestras aspiraciones, debemos determinarnos a exterminar de raíz la mala semilla de la oposición, basada principalmente en gran falta de sentido común la cual ha sido el motivo del retraso en el progreso de nuestra raza por muchas décadas y crea al presente una situación extremadamente alarmante, en cuanto a nuestro desarrollo y adelanto concierre. Do quiera fijemos nuestra vista, do quierra dirijamos nuestros pasos, hallamos aquella clase de elemento de la raza que se conceptua director, cuya única intención es la protección de sus propios intereses. Esta actitud ha sido tan evidentemente manifestada que han recurrido a todos los medios para entorpecer el curso de las aspiraciones de la raza, toda vez que esta aspiraciones nos conducen a nuestra emancipación absoluta y a la realización de los planes en pro de un mejoramiento en nuestra condición actual. Es tiempo ya, de un modo unísono, detener esta avalancha de parásitos y sin conmiseración alguna, dar el golpe de verdadera conservación si hemos de subsistir como raza en el terrible conflicto de competencia que como microbio destructor, germina en el animo de los pueblos, de las razas y de las naciones. Existe solamente una solución para que nuestro elemento patriótico pueda resolver este problema tan complicado, y esta es, si la raza ha de ser salvada, el reconocimiento de nuestros derechos por medio de la absoluta emancipación de Africa. Realizando todo esto, tenemos aun entre nuestras huestes a esa clase de elemento que se denomina directores de la raza, quienes intentan a todo transe interrupir el éxito de nuestros planes. Ellos han injuriado maliciosamente todo esfuerzo hecho en dirección de la verdadera solución del problema racial; ellos son un gran obstáculo en el camino de nuestro progreso y notanos que en vez de adelantar permanecemos estaciónados y a veces retrocedemos por su ambición de satisfacer su avaricia. Si nosotros, la masa del pueblo, no tomamos una determinación sobre el particular y los millones de la raza en el continente americano y en las antillas no nos organizamos con el objeto de contrarrestar la labor de este elemento perniciosos, tomando nuestra dirección en nuestras propias manos, iremos camino del abismo hacia la exterminación de nuestro poder como raza. Todos conjocemos esa clase de individuos quienes una y otra vez han engañado a las masas privándoles de sus aliorros, bajo promesa de la realización de grandes cosas sin hasta aun haber presentado nada práctico. ¿Por cuánto tiempo ha de continuar este estado de cosas? Cuando otros hacen esfuerzos de un modo honesto, como nuestro organización por ejemplo, estos mismo individuos se asocian con la mala intención de obstruir las posibilidades del éxito. ¿A dónde iremos a parar? Iremos a donde querramos toda vez que nosotros, la masa del pueblo, estamos determinados a ascender apesar de su maquinaciones. Una y otra vez hemos de apelar a la conciencia de nuestro pueblo, para que como un sólo hombre se levante colocándose al respaldo de esta organización, evitando así que esos vividores destruyan el programa que signifaca la salvación de la raza. Podemos cooperar dando a la organización el apoyo necesario que le facilitate la práctica de su programa de colonización, para el desarrollo industrial y agricola de la tierra de nuestros antepasados, donde debemos establecernos y vivir permanente en paz y felicidad, no solamente en común sino también con el mundo entero. Este es el plan que una y otra vez ha sido obstruido por los avaros denominados ellos mismos directores de la raza, quienes temen que el pueblo piense en establecerse en un sitio determinado, donde les sea a ellos imposible explotarle. No nos extraña, por consiguiente, que tal 6 cual individuo 6 grupo de individuos ataque la política de esta organización, por temor de perder el maná que se han proporcionado, engañando a la humanidad. Han intentado crucificar nuestra gran labor de unificación racial, porque se han corrompido en cuerpo y alma con el gérmen de la avaricia. Si todos y cada uno de los miembros de la organización y de la raza hicieramos un esfuerzo de determinación y patrocinaramos su gran movimiento de adelanto, dándole el apoyo que requieren las circunstancias, podriamos aun probar no solamente a los judas y fariseos de la raza sino también al universo entero, que el negro del presente está lo suficientemente preparado para ser útil a sí mismo, a su Dios y a su raza. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 UN JAMAIQUINO FUE MUERTO DE UN BALA ZO EN EL RESERVADO DE UNA FONDA El autor se dio a la fuga sin que la policía que lo persigue haya logrado aun su detención (Del Diario de Cuba, Santiago, junio 11, 1924) En el salon reservado de una fonda de chinos llamada "Cho-Pon", situada en la calle de Factoria esquina a Trinidad, se cometió anoche, como a las siete, un crimen, sin que hasta la hora presente haya podido averiguarse el motivo que provocó su realización. Se encontraba en la Estación de la Policía desempeñando las funciones de oficial de guardia en la Carpeta el sargento Feintor, cuando llegó poco después de la hora indicada un asiatico dandole conocimiento. al expresado sargento de lo que acababa de ocurrir, exponiénd, además, que habia utilizado varios telefones para coniunarse con la Jefatura, pero que ninguno de estos funciona. El sargento Teunton ordenó que acompañar al portador de la noticia vigilante que se hallaba en la Estación y el que cubría el servicio en el parque Capdevila. Junto con estos fue uno de nuestros reporters. El interior y ambos frentes de la fonda se hallaban invadidos, por el público, encontrándose alli el vigilante que prestaba servicio en la Estación del Ferrocarril y un soldado del Ejército Nacional. El cadaver se hallaba en el suelo, en el pasillo que conduce al patio de la fonda, con los pies en dirección a la puerta del reservado que comunica con el expresado pasillo, lo que permite suponer que el ocisco estaba de pie en la mencionada puerta y al recibir el balazo, sin dar un solo paso, cavó fuera del reservado. La victima, según oimos decir alli, es un jamaiquino nombrado Abraham Brom, y aunque refractario a la ley seca, era sin embargo, un infiliz, que no provocaba camorras con nadie y estaba siempre alegre y decididor con sus amigos. Se hallaba en el café una muchacha nombrada Teodora Gazón, testigo del caso, la que interrogada por nosotros sobre lo ocurrido nos dijo: —Yo entree en este reservado con la intención de comer y marcharle lo mas pronto posible, y encuentro en el salon a tres individuos, dos mestizos y uno blanco, sentados en una mesa, momento antes de entrar vo, llegó Abraham Brom, al que como amigo que eranio—le dije que me pagara la comida a lo que que contó que si, que me esperara. Como los tres individuos, entre los que se encontraba un tal Quico,—estaban cantando. Brom se puso a bailar y al comenzar el bajn dije: “Mira Quico como yo bailo”. No—continuó diciendo la Garzicne mantenía de pie, cuando en ea vi que Quico trataba de sacar la la funda el revolver que portaba en la cingura el individuo blanco, que se hallaba en mangas de camisa, y cuando vi que Quico se apoderaba del arma, sali del salón, escuchando la detonación. Los tres se dicieron a la fuga. Hasta aquí las manifestaciones de Teodora Garzón, las cuales, si no tan exactas, por lo menos muy parecidos, las esucharon de otra persona, en lo que se refiere a que no mediaron entre agresor y agredido palabras de ninguna especie. El sargento Barrera se constituyó en el lugar del suceso y poco después el capitán Callejas que levantó la diligencia. También se personaron en dicho lugar el jeffe y los demás oficiales de la Policía. El juez doctor Domingo, acompañado del Secretario Cos Delhundo y médico forense Dr. Pera se constituyó en la fonda, donde estuvo actuando. El hecho fue calificado de homicidio. El Dr. Pera reconoció al cadáver, apreciándole una herida por proyectil de árma de fuego, con orificio de entrada en el labio superior, lado izquierdo y con orificio de salida por la naca. La bala fué ocupada. El cadaver fue entregado a sus amigos para su entierro. Inmediatamente la policía comenzó a investigar dando por resultado que el autor de la muerte del jamaiquino Abraham Moses, conocido pq Brom, se nombra Federico Ferrer (a) Quico; que el individuo que se hallaba en el reservado, en mangas de camisa se llama Cesar Quintana, soldado del E. N. con el consentimiento del cual se apoderó Quico del revolver que llevaba en la cintura y qué dicho soldado hace cuatro-dias se cambió el uniforme por uno de paisano, en el domicilio de Luis Martínez y Gonzalez, vecino de Santa Lucia baja 57. Martínez entregó al Sr. Juez de Instrucción en la Estación de Policía la ropa, zapatos sombrero y polainas del soldado Quintana y expuso que este era amigo de el desde la Habana y que la operación del cam- bio Europa lo efectubo sin su consentimiento. El uniforme entregado por Martinez fue remitido al Cuartel Moncada. El Jefe de la Policía Municipal con algunos oficiales, emprendió marcha en busca del autor del hecho. La misión dominicana en Nueva York Presidida por el general Horacio Vázquez, presidente electro de la República Dominicana, se, halla en Nueva York una representación de los más fuertes elementos directores de la vida nacional de Santo Domingo. La bienvenida que representaciones distinguidas de lo más saliente del país han dado ya al general Vázquez y sus acompañantes, refleja bien, sin duda, el sentir nacional. Santo Domingo sale de una dolorosa etapa, en la que no han faltado los heroismos tradicionales en un pueblo heroico, netamente hispano en sus reacaciones contra los enemigos de su libertad. Ias trabaja y cortapistas puestas durante los ultimos ochos años a la soberania nacional empiezan, una tras otra a caer. Y el pueblo puede ya ver en proxima perspectiva el día de total y absoluta independencia del país. Nada más grato que este espectáculo. Nada más ejemplar, también. El dolor de la invasión extranjera, el hochorno de la intercerción de su vida nacional por extranios, seria irrepareable si no sirviera a un país para siempre, por siempre jamás, tenerlo presente y evocarlo cada vez que volviera el peligro de provocar nueva la situación que lo hizo posible. Porque modernamente, a vuelta de retóricas y artificios diplomáticos que se emplean para disfrazar el uso de la fuerza bruta, cuando un país interviene en otro por la violencia necesita, de primera necesidad, para justifinar ante el mundo el atropello, razones de indole altruista que invocar. Asi se meneciona siempre que las intervenciones en país extranjero se hacen "en bien del pueblo". Exitat esto, impedirlo a todo trance, haichendo imposible que una situación de orden interior amenace la existencia normal del país, con sus deducciones de amenaza a los intereses exgranjerias, debe ser la preocupación patríctica de los gobernantes dominicanos. Su país, como muchos otros de América y de Europa, desencadenan ambiciones enormes y desatentadas en vecinos ambiciones que deben sofrerarse y reprimirse. Pero un pretexto, habilmente utilizable, una causa que invocar en bien del pueblo dominicano mismo, serviria como la servida ya para desatar la tem petadad.—La Prensa, N. Y. Este país no es ya la nación justa y humanitaria, dice un periódico japonés El haber firmado el presente la ley de immigration con la exclusión japonesa, ha causado los disgustos consiguientes según expresan los perioditos de Vulcan. El departamento de estado se ha laa en espera de la protesta que el Japon ha hecho por mediation de su embajador en Washington y no se han hecho comentarios sobre el asunto por carcer de informes oficiales sobre la base en que esti sentada la protesta. Segin aviso que se han recibido de Tolio, la protesta está basada en supuras vas violaciones de ciertos tratados y tal comunicación es seguro que recubrir de la administración mis consideración que munguna otra, pues en el largo debate que sostuvo el congreso al final del cual se paida la ley que dio por resultado esta protesta, se le hizo ver las dificultades que podrian venir de la violación de algn tratado con las naciones interesadas. Los periódicos en el Japon se deshacen en toda clase de comentarios. El Japon dice. Es lastimoso que el Japon se haya dejado andar de un niño mudo. El niño tal vez no se docuenta de las consecuencias; pero eso no altera el hecho de que las consecuencias pueden ser de lo más grave. Una protesta ahora es tan inutil como si sechara agua en cantaro roto. El Niño Niño, aunque agradecede los esfuerzos del presidente por omitir la exclusión, pregunta que porqué no vetó todo el proyecto y dice: América ha demostrado al Japon buena voluntad en el pasado; pero eso ha sido temporalmente. América ya no es la nación justa y humanitaria. No es esta la hora de discussiones; llegó el momento de que el Japon presente una fuerte résolución para proteger el honor nacional. Otro periodico dice: El 26 de mayo debe de ser recordado como día de humillaciónjanonesa. Debemos de organizar un movimiento nacional con los Estados Unidos y anunciar en lo más reconocido del país que América no merece la amistad del Japon. El primer ministro de Italia y sus compañeros de gabinete están sentidos con el fracaso de sus diplomáticos en Washington, al no poder con seguir la emenda de la ley de emigración y sera probable que se llame a Italia al embajador. Ha muerto un grande Hombre! muerte, esa inexorable ley de la naturaleza que coloca sobre un mismo nivel todas nuestras preocupaciones terrenales, ha tronchado la existencia de un hero... Simón Despainge ha dejado de existir. Aquel grande hombre, aquel gallardo paladin del derecho humano, aquel que un dia fue a conquistar la libertad de esta tierra librándola asi del despotismo ibero, hoy se ha unido de nuevo a sus antiguos camaradas de lucha que percieron en el cumplimiento de un deber sagrado, para desde esa morada contemplar con gran pesar las arbi trarriedades en contra de una parte de ese mismo pueblo, digno de mejor suer. El patriota Simón Despainque hizo número en el laqueño grupo que allá en la histórica Demajagua, se lanza al campo de batalla manifestando al mundo de ese modo, que la Isla de Cuba tenia derecho a la vida de los pueblos independientes. Fué el fundador del Capítulo No. 71 de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Su muerte, en estos momentos de prueba para nuestra raza, es profundamente sentida por todos aquellos que aspiran al reconocimiento de nuestro derecho. El sepilio tuvo lugar a las 4 de la tarde del dia 30 de mayo, rindicosele los honores que a su gerarquia militar correspondian, como coronel del Ejercito Libertador Cubano. El duelo estuvo a cargo del que suscribe y del señor Isidoro Bravo, otro de los que tanto han luchado por el entecimiento de la raza. Simón Despainge ha muerto, y ya restan muy pocos de aquella plévade de patricios que eu unión del extinto Padre, de la Patria, hicieran resonar en los ambito del mundo el grito de; Viva Cuba independiente! Paz al alma del bizarro paladin de todas las causas nobles, santas y justas, y reciban su duesdos mi expresión mas sincera de condolencia. Ramón G. Apezteguia. Pizarro No. 10, Santiago de Cuba. El incidente británico en Méjico En procedimiento ordinario, la solicitud de un gobierno de que el agente diplomatico de otro gobierno que se ha hecho perturbador sea remado, causaria su immediato relevo. El caso de Cummins, agente de archivos británicos en la curdad de Mejico, es uno de antiguo origen. Se hicieron gestiones ante el negociado extranjero de Loudre, por Mejico desde hace dos años, pero por razones una confesadas Lord Curzon no tomó ninguna medida. Desde entonces se ha hecho la misma demanda del relevo de Mr. Cummins más de una vez, y ningun resultado se oluvo de ella. Solo cuando Meinio, tal vez en forma una falta de tacto, obliga a dar una solución al asumo, se diren Londres la orden para la retirada de Cummins. En el caso de cualquier otro país en circumstances semejantes habría dificultamente habido los mismos exasperantes aplazamientos, porque los precedentes y prácticas diplomáticas no lo habrian permitido. Aparte de la hoja de servicios personal de Cummins, que la base de la reclamación de Méjico, la expresión del deseo de que fuera retirado debería haber sido suficiente. El gobierno laborista heredo de Lord Curton zura que querella con el gobierno de Obregón, pero a causa de ignorancia por obstinación la ha hecho suya. Al romper con Méjico por un incidente en el que evidentemente no tiene la razón, ha manifestado un espiritu hostil que hace discutibles sus motivos La convención democrática El próximo dia 24 inicia sus tareas en Nueva York, la convención nacional del partido democrático para designar su candidato a la presidencia en la lucha electoral de noviembre. La Prensa, naturalmente, mantendrá invariable su imparcialidad en las contiendas políticas del país. Asistiremos con atención, pero sin apasionamiento a la lucha. Y cualquiera sea el candidato triunfante en la convención y el presidente electo por los comicios, tendrá nuestro cordial respeto. Pero entre los lectores de este diario, parte importantísima de la colonia de habla española de Nueva York, se halla la colectividad portorriqueña. Los portorriqueños, como se sabe, gozan equi de los de rechos de la clududanla. Tienen voto en las elecciones. Has formado clubs políticos. Y generalmente desarrollan con bastante intensidad actividades civicas dentro de la maquinaria del país. Aparte del interés general de cuantos aqui residimos por conocer la marcha de la administración nacional y local, los portorriquenios tienen el de informarse lo mejor posible de las tendencias y méritos de los distintos candidatos que ellos, con sus votos, pueden ayudar a elegir o recharzar. Para estos lectores nuestros publicaremos, especialmente, información detallada de la convención proxima a celebrarse en Nueva York. Una considerable mayoria de los ciudadanos de habla española, según nuestros informes, esta afiliada aquí al partido democrata. De ahí que en el proceso de designación del candidato democrata para presidente haya mayor interés entre los nuestros. No hay duda de que el gobernador Smith cuenta con extraordinarias simpatias, entre los electores hispanos-y aun entre la masa de nuestras colonias. Sus probabilidades de vencer son objeto de excepcional expectación para cuantos han oido de su simpatia por nuestros hermanos de raza, demostrada en varias ocasiones. Y eso nos nueve a enfocar sobre el ejecutivo del estado, que cuenta con numerosos elementos a su favor en todo al país, especial atención. La Prensa, pues, publicará informaciones especiales sobre política nacional. Debe seguirse esta con atención por los extranjeros. A todos nos interesa y todos, en nuestra esfera, sin pagar en lo más mínimo de nuestros limites, dehemos contribuir a que sus fases más transcendentales sean estudiadas y apreciadas en su verdadero alcance. Cuando se piecia en el papel decisivo, supremo, del presidente de los Estados Unidos en la existencia de cuantos habitamos en el territorio de la Unión, no puede parecer excesiva la atención que se dedique, aun por los no ciudadanos, al proceso de eliminación que siguen los partidos para llegar a designar a los candidatos al elevadismo puesto.— El régimen, dictatorial d Italia --- El primer ministro de Italia parece verse envuelto en una de las includibles penalidades del procedimiento napoleónico. Aquella admirable disciplina con que salvo a Italia del comunismo tenia evidentemente peligro. El regimen fascista ha sido abluita sacando por una explosion de los escandalos acumulados que son siempre la amenaza para los gobiernos dictatoriales. Un diputado socialista al parque ha sido asesinado cuando se hallaba a punto de hacer una revelación de la corrupción existente entre los altos funcionarios fassistas, en la reacción la opinión pública se ha demostrado inclinada a creer lo peor de un gobierno que hizo de la fuerza una tifofia. Hay rumores de un ministerio de coalición Giolitti y Orlando. Muscolini puede salir adelante por virtud de su extraordinaria personalidad. Dero el problema para otros pueblos, son evidentes. Se produce por una de las pequeñas coincidencias históricas en el momento en que la corriente de la opinión mundial se halla en su nivel infino con respecto a los parlamentos. El período de la última guerra dejó al mundo en una dificil interrogación acerca del valor del sistema representativo, y cuando Mussolini salvo a Italia de la anarquia salvandola de los políticos parlamentarios, sus brilantes exitos obscurecieron los peligros del procedimiento. Desde entonces los parlamenteros han perdido más bien que ganado en dignidad, y nuestros propios legisladores han dejado a algunas gentes con la interrogación de si Mussolini no seria una valiosa adicción a la colina del Capitolio. Es un viejo debate entre la eficiencia del dominio de un solo hombre y la responsabilidad de un gobierno representativo. El incidente italiano repite la lección que el mundo aprendía cuando los Estados Undos llegaron a la existencia; la de que la eficiencia tiene sus desventajas como la democracia, y que es preciso obtener el saldo util. El peligro del ejemplo de Mussolini fue siempre del que se tratara de aplicar el mussolinismo en circunstancias que no lo justificaban; indudablemente lo justificaban en la Italia de 1921. Los parlamentos y los congressos pueden ser malos, pero si no nos aferramos a la idea de que debe a todo trance mejorarles, seria lo mismo que renunciaramos a toda fe en el gobierno representativo.—N.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey NAPOLEON BONAPARTE once said that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Every man, every woman, who has achieved greatness, who has striven to make the world a safer and better place in which to live, could say as much, if he would. When women take the saying seriously they need not be accused of egotism; they should regard it as a high compliment and strive all the more earnestly to rear children who will be a credit to them and to the race. The conceit that mere man is the whole thing in the making of good men and women has long been exploded, especially in Christian countries, where proper respect for motherhood and proper care of childhood have become among the most important matters for the attention of legislators and administrators, the medical profession, and the educators, all of whom are working industriously and along the most scientific lines for the safeguarding of child life. Much needs to be done as yet-before motherhood and childhood will be placed upon the scientific basis where the very best results can reasonably be expected in the production of the best and highest type of manhood and womanhood. This will be accelerated by the systematic education which young folks are now receiving in the home and the school; education in how to do things as they should be done, in proper deportment in the home and in public places, and in the development of character, shaping it in the proper way so that "as the twig is bent the tree will incline," so that when the child reaches the age, when it must rely upon its own initiative it will go in the right and not in the wrong way. How important this is we all know. Much of sickness and death, much of running wild and getting into trouble out of which it is difficult to get, of young people is due to bad environment, lack of parental oversight and care, lack of proper education and reproof. "How shall the people know without a teacher?" asks the chief apostle to the Gentiles and which we may reasonably ask ourselves. And none of us ever grows too old to learn and none of us can begin too soon to learn the things necessary and worth while to know. The obligation is upon the Negro to have progressively more care in the consideration and provision for his womanhood and childhood. Much has been gained in this respect in the past fifty years, but much is required, and there can be no let up in the good work. The world expects more of the Negro everywhere today than it did yesterday, and the Negro is expecting more of the world. We have developed millions of homes in which the parents are educated and thoroughly alive to their obligation and duty to give the children the consideration, reproof and training that make most for strong adultage, for service in home and State and church, and for race, and we shall make greater progress in the same direction in the immediate years. But, however much progress we may make, we shall hardly be able to meet the growing need for a properly trained childhood, in order that we may have a properly trained manhood and womanhood, for many years to come. We need trained men and women everywhere; we need them, as other races need them, to do the larger work that has fallen to the lot of the race in these latter days. The editor of The Woman's Page is proud of the splendid work our women have done in the home and school and church, and are doing, and are better prepared now to do than in other and more unfortunate days, and she has faith to hope that they will do better work in the coming days, as we tread always on the heels of them in the present, the present and the future being indissolubly lock-stepped, and we should all keep constantly in mind the fact that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." MOTHERS SENT TO JAIL TAKE THREE INFANTS WITH THEM Texas Justice Shews Might Beats Right HONSTON, Texas--Three seaking Nene babies passed through Houston recently on their way to the pennantary. They are charged with no crime but their mother, offender, brothers, and their defenders were convicted of assault to murder in Pound county. They were an charge of Bod Ensel, perpetrators' agent. The asst. jail was made up of Sheriff L. D. Campbell and his deputies when they made an official visit to the farm operated by the Nene. The brothers, Elenne L. and Nathaniel L., were contended to the reform school. Their mother, Luke, and the three women, Becton Lewis and Matthias, were sentenced to the State farm for two to three years. The Labs are Emma Sim, 7 months old, May Louren, 6 months old, and Dobby Cloud, 3 months old. The entire family gave their contribution as Wells. When the Labs are prepared from the farm the will be happy to testers. the form they will be history competer. "We can't done nothing" one of the women said. These white folks said that we had to go and they wiz nobody to take the babies so they had to come long too." The Negroes are said to have fired on the sheriff's force with shotguns. But in spite of this, he gave a letter to the agent directed to penitentiary officials, asking that the family be treated kindly.

How fast do you eat your noon meal? Not only your health, but the health of this and future generations depends on the answer. Call a half hour Health Commissioner Monashan. "The health of this generation and migrations to come is imperiled by hard-petrified by business men and women in eating their noon or lunches," declared the commissioner recently. "Men are not as good as women. They start into the nearest drug store, lunch counter or restaurant, "order the first thing they think of and consume it with the interest speed. It is insufficient and impoverished food and hence in consumption of food interfere with digestion and endure the well-being of the nation." Dr. Monashan "American would be much better off if they adopted the European current of taking from one to two hours for their monthly meal and allowing nothing to interfere with that arrangement." "The local lunch in the summertime for both men and women works consists of milk, crackers and whatever fruit is in season. I myself eat crackers and milk and strawberries with cream during the present season. "I personalize the soda fonts that have adopted the paper cup. In place of the common drinking glass. You may be sure you are getting real cream in a canned snowball. Do not skimp for cream found using more than one-eighth hotter fat in his ice cream will be prosecuted." SMILES The High Cost of a Word (From Pearson's Weekly) The estate agent suffered at the hands of his lady typist. He told her to write to a lady informing her that she could have a flat at a certain price provided she repainted, and redecorated it herself. But the fair scribe omitted one word, and the indignation of the would-be purchaser was great when she was informed, that she could have the flat "provided she repainted and redecorated herself." Under Oath Lawyer (to witness, after much cross-examination): "You're a nice fellow, aren't you?" Witness: "I am, and if I wasn't on my oath, I'd say the same thing of you." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 WOMEN SCARCE IN CANADA DOMINION IMPORTS THEM Canada Advertised as Land of Opportunity for White Women Early Virginia colonists recruited their zammina population from wholesale shipments of women, and today, after the passage of 800 years and more, our northern neighbor, Canada, resorts to somewhat similar means for the same end. Cargoes of women are arriving today at the ports of Canada, not in entire shiploads, it is true, but in large groups, assembled and conducted by Government agents, under assisted passage regulations for supplying Canada's defect of women. The Dominion is almost as urgently in need of the ministrations of women today as was the first American colony. With 6.5 per cent more men than women. Canada is one of the very few countries of the globe where men have all their own way numerically. In some of the new provinces women are as scarce as trees on the prairies. Even in the East, where to the general observer "women seem to abound there is the call for 'more women to share the household tasks. Surplus of Women in England The Canadian housewife is easily set with the servant problem. Mother helps, who expect to be accepted as members of the family, are practically the only sort of assistance available. Since the war the demand for servants has increased as, with the new era and its parliamentary enfranchisement, Canadian women have plunged into public life. As they turned to outside interests they began to look around for capable women, trained in household management, to relieve them of burdens at home. While the demand is raised for women in the Dominion, lament comes from the mother country, struggling with her burden of two million excess women—women for whom cannot be found enough jobs, enough husbands, enough homes. Canada, seeing the urgency for a redistribution of the empire's women, has set out to bring this about. At the same time she is opening her gates to women from other countries as well. Government agencies are at work in Europe trying to pick out the type woman the Dominion needs and send her across the Atlantic. The Canadian Pacific Railway has opened a women's section in its department of colonization and development. Here Canada is advertised as the land of opportunity for women. Inquiries are received from bona-fide workers; and efforts are put forth to fill the requirements of Canadian employers. Canadian officials follow up with personal interviews all applications for assisted passage, select suitable girls and conduct parties to Canada. The girls, chaperoned by women and shaded all along the route from exploitation, are landed in Montreal, where they are distributed. The arrival of these contingents is usually greeted with an automobile line several blocks in length, each car representing a Canadian housewife seeking domestic aid. British women are in greatest demand because they fit most easily into Canada. households. But women with unfamiliar speech and strange culinary traditions are welcome, provided they offer a pair of willing hands. In order to smooth the path of the newsmen, the National Council of Women of Canada has asked the Government to establish a degree domestic economy courses for immigrant girls. No Husbands Promised Thus a premium is once more placed upon women in the new world, a premium expecting far more expense than the few pounds of tobacco for which women could be imported in the old days, but the old guarantee of a home and a husband is missing. These things Canada cannot promise. She can only offer to women a chance to work toward homes of their own. It has been found, however, that practically all the girls who drift out into the great Canadian West are married and settled within a year. Some lonely man will almost easily ask the new arrival to cast in her lot with his, and they will rent a farm and start out on their own. In the East the chances are said to be as good, though the courtship may take longer. Inspiration of Mr. Poston's Life and Sacrifice To the Editor of The Negro World. The recent death and burial of the Honorable Robert Lincoln Poston has created a new apist, a new outlook, a new hope and determination in Negroes everywhere for a larger measure of freedom than we have hitherto experienced. Mr. Poston has given us the assurance he has done his part in discharging his duty most faithfully and joyfully. Therefore, it is expected of us New Negro's to take example in that direction and give lim. Marcus Garvey the necessary financial support in putting over the program which Mr. Poston died for on returning from Liberia. We have 'every reason to be proud of our president-general, Marcus Garvey. He has the quality that is demanded in every business. We may talk as much as we please, but what is asked for in this great world are honesty and simplicity of character rather than absurdness or intelligence. His action shows that he values his good name and the welfare of his people above any kind of reward. In spite of the false accusation that is against him, his people are still for him, and are just as proud of taking part in any enterprise he may have in view for the benefit of his oppressed people. SYDNEY SKILLING. 200 West 146th St. New York. ENGLISH WOMAN DESCRIBE NATIVE LIFE IN HAYTI Dancing Chief Recreation in Negro Republic LONDON, Eng., June 18—Lady Dorothy Mills, daughter of the Earl of Oxford, inveterate globe-trotter and smart society hovelist; will be next on the program list of the Ku Klux Klan. But recently returned from a trip to Haytli, she has "biddily and publicly confessed: "My visit there has made me lose all color prejudice and I have grown to love the natives." This from a half-American—Lady Dorothy's late mother was Miss Louise Corbin of New York—will certainly make her "heresy" the more menhous in the eyes of the Klan. Lady Dorothy is the wife of Captain Arthur Mills, a nephew of the Earl of Buckinghamshire. Compares Haytlians With Arabs After having spent considerable time traveling in Aram county, Lady Dorothy compares the Haytlians most favorably to the dwellers of the desert. "Unlike the Arabic," she says, "the natives of Hayatil are not obsessed by sex but by simple, warm-blooded men and women, who, if more temperamental than our English men and women, are not unpleasant so. In fact, marriages are usually happy and offer few of the complications that are so frequent in our countries. The Hylan woman makes a good wife and mother and is the most elderly and home-abiding of women. Her ideal do not extend beyond the particular sphere. In the bush the people live equally well-ordered lives, but in nine out of ten cases the man refuses to go through the formula of marriage. The reason given to me for this non-moral trait was that the Hylan man has found by experience that this woman is apt to be far more amenable, faithful and obedient when the tie that binds her to a man is one that can easily be broken. In fact—so one young man told me—the only way of keeping a woman up to the mark is by making her realize that you can easily get ride of her." What seemed to impress Lady Dorothy most during her three months that stay on the island was the natives' passion for dancing. "The Haytians are dance mad, and I have never danced so much as I danced during my visit there" she declares. "The favorite dance is the 'Meringue'. This is a dance that combines the tango and the two-step, with the addition of plenty of hip movements. The Haytians are also expert in other dances and are very fond of the fox-trot and waltz. In the more civilized parts of the island, and in the capital more especially, the style of dancing is very similar to our own, and there are few features that a European could possibly object to. But in the country and the wilder parts of the island I have never seen any dancing half as abandoned and unconventional, not even in Africa or in the East. Dance Until Exhausted Dance Out! Extracted "One of the chief features of this dancing is the continuous drumming which proceeds and goes on during each dance. The natives stand around until completely mesmerized by the noise and rhythm of the music, and then either singly or in couples they private round and round, occasionally leaping into the air, until, thoroughly exhausted, they make room for other dancers, who continue the same evolutions. The steps are very complicated and acrobatic, but possess few upward-ant features, except when the native has drunk more taffa than is good for him, or a man and woman are dancing together. They sometimes fall to the ground with arms and bodies entrained, or, if maddened into frenzy by the clamor of the tomtoms, tear their clothes from off their bodies and continue dancing in a state of undulation until fatigued from exhaustion. "Everyone dances—men, women and children; the educated malatties and quadruples of Port-au-Prince, the capital, in well-appointed ballrooms and smart clubs; the half-naked black peasants on the roadsides and in forest clearings by the light of the moon. There are social clubs in Port-au-Prince as good as those in any provincial English town. For nearly a week, that of Mardi Gras, I danced in them, with partners varying in color from phony black to pale cake au lait, who were full evening dress, or the immaculate white of the tropics. Our music was a string band that played 'Yes, We Have No Bananas' and 'Rumin' Wild! and once in my house, God Save the King.' Every third dance was a waitz or a fox-trot, but the other two, danced most enthusiastically by the guests, were the 'Meringue,' a dance of the south and the sun, with something of the awinging languour of the tango and something of the pulgating throb of the dances of Africa: one long, stressed step and two short ones. Learned Popular Native Dances "It is the 'Meringue' that the Haytians love, that sets dark faces smiling and white teeth gleaming. Its words, like the music, are by Negro composers, written generally in the native Creole, a strange, soft, incomprehensive tongue, a mingling of French, Spanish and old African. The words are native and quaintly imaginative, sometimes a little improper. I learned the 'Meringue' from a highly placed Haytian official in five minutes, and in return taught him the 'Blues.'" "Sometimes, after the club dances, I was metted away into the country over rough roads, and most nights we would see the gleam of a light; a small fire of sticks, maybe, or a flickering lantern and would stop the car, giving a friendly greeting to some one who called 'Qui moun car' (Who goes there).

PSYCHIATRIST URGES CARE WITH CHILDREN The Future Success Depends on Methods of Handling Them, Says Dr. White Success is needed for a life of sanity, according to Dr. William White, noted psychiatrist, who stresses the stimulus of success as a factor in normal life. Dr. White has been for more than twenty years superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital at Washington, D.C. This is a government hospital dealing with the mental ill. In addition to this he is professor of nervous and mental disorders in Georgetown university and also at George Washington University and lecturer on insanity in the United States Naval and Army Medical School. "Children should not be constantly criticized, ridiculed, slighted or made to feel inferior," said Dr. White, who is at the Hotel Pennsylvania. "We all need a certain amount of the stimulus of success, else we get that what's the use" feeling and stop making any further efforts in life. This is just as true of a child. A child needs this same stimulus, a certain amount of Appreciation of his efforts, a certain feeling of self-confidence and self-reliance; otherwise he grows up under a tremendous handicap and perhaps remains an under dog all his life. Upon the management of a small child depends his future success or failure. I would say that the real pattern of a person's life is laid out by the time he is five years old. "Part of the work of the National Committee on Mental Hygiene, of which I am a member, is establishing in various cities 'child guidance clinics' in which we take up the case of the problem child, and demonstrate to parents and teachers how to deal with him. By the 'problem child' I do not mean the child who is mentally deviant, or an epileptic, but the child who by reason of temperamental and nervous deprivation finds difficulty in adjusting himself to his environment. "The National Committee for Mental Hygiene is now planning an international counter of psychiatrists and psychologists, to be held in this country sometime in 1995. The program is in a tough form so far, and I can tell little about it except the main outline. "The study of education from the point of view of the psychologist will be one of the important works taken up. This will be divided into two parts: the adjustment of the student to his school and the psychological factors in education as such. "The relation of mental hygiene to delinquency, the study of mental hygiene in industry—which will deal principally with the need of seeing that the individual is given the kind of occupation best suited to his special abilities and inclinations—and, of course, the matter of mental hygiene in childhood, will be given a great deal of attention. "Men who were affected by the war had the foundations of mental instability already laid. We do not say now that the war caused insanity, but that the draft uncovered a lot of mental defects.

"The main accomplishment of woman's entrance into politics," she said, "is that it has brought an interest in politics into the home. Also organizations of women find that they are more effective in bringing about reforms than in pre-suffrage days. I cannot instance any startling achievement of women due to their possession of the ballot, but what of that? Men are not required to justify their right to vote by telling what they have accomplished. "If it is true that women are, as a class, apathetic about, going to the polls, I am not discouraged about that. The reasons that influenced me to work for woman suffrage went far deeper than any belief that all women would be voting five years after they gained the right. The right, to vote is the main thing, and the girls now growing up, knowing that the right is theirs, will make just about the same use of it that their brothers do. Women are not angels, neither are they idiots. They are people and they will act as people. And in the years to come they will be more self-respecting people, and therefore better citizens, because the right to vote is theirs." -Mrs. Nogman de Whitehouse. More Truth Than Poetry That all are spring from one dim source. How soon we need the peace we prize? If Reagan ruled, instead of Force! But those in power appear to lack The vision that they should possess; They send their armies to attack. And urge them to be merciless. —S.G. Kiser in New York American. The Coming Elections The presidential election of this year will be the most momentous in the history of the nation for the reason that the women of all the States will, for the first time, have an opportunity to vote, and there is no basis for predictions in any direction. At the last presidential election when Mr. Harding had such an overwhelming majority, not more than half the qualified voters went to the polls. This year the total vote cast may be double - Detroit Independent Indian Origin of "Mississippi" There is an ancient tradition that the Mississippi River was originally named "Misha Sipokani" later distorted into its present form by the white man. The old name is said to have been given to the great river by the Choctaw and Choctaw Indians before they parted company and meant, figuratively, "the father of all its kind." About Women Recent statistics show that there are in the United States more than 7,000 women registered as physicians and more than 14,000 as artists and sculptors. The X-ray department of St. Andrew's Hospital in London is in charge of a woman—Lady Constance Butler, daughter of the late Marquis of Ormonde. Olga Netherole, who for years has been a prominent stage star, has announced her intention of making a film. Inquent, quickly broke down under the discipline of military life, and in his reaction against an organized mode of life his "military defects" were quickly brought to light. campaign for a seat in the British Parliament. The growing freedom of women in Turkey is especially noticeable in the larger cities, where they work in railroad depots, telephone stations and post offices. Boys. Twice as Bashful as Girls CHICAGO.—The percentage of boys who are hardful is twice that of bashful girls. Dr. Angus W. Morrison, professor at the University of Minnesota, told the American Medical Association at its assembly here. Dr. Morrison based his estimate on a study of 2,232 students in the University of Minnesota. "Forty-seven per cent of girls are sociable," he said, "and forty-five per cent of boys." Contrary to general opinion, "dandruff is harmless and does not make men bald," declared Dr. Walter L. Highman, of New York. "Most American physicians think that olliness of the scalp and dandruff are asymptomatic," he said, "but this is a mistake. There will be no hope for the bald until we find the germ which causes seborrhea, or dislaced oily condition of the scalp." Suggestions to Housewives When stewing cranberries cook enough for several meals and can them, for this saves a great deal of time. Apple sauce to which a handful of raisins are added makes a change and is also sweter. A shoe is not a good fit if the great-toe does not lie in a straight line. Halved Manga grapes on hearts of lettuce are a fine salad. Serve with French dressing. Women Take Pulpit In England In England women in Parliament are now being succeeded by women in the pulpit. One of the pioneers in this connection is Mrs. Pickles, who has succeeded her late husband, the Rev. Albert Pickles, as minister in charge of a prominent Congregational church in Liverpool.

Salut: Dans la lutte acharnée que nous Race doit compter avec les ennemis ranges. Les attaques perpetuelles de n isme, étroitesse d'esprit, et le manque c autte acharnée que nous hvrons pour arriver auputer avec les ennemis qui se trouvent dans taques perpetuelles de nos ennemis sont bass d'e-prit, et le manque d'une vision. Le progr Dans la lutte acharnée que nous lvrons pour arriver au but, notre Race doit compter avec les ennemis qui se trouvent dans nos propres rangs. Les attaques perpetuelles de nos ennemis sont bassées sur l'égoisme, étroitesse d'esprit, et le manque d'une vision. Le progrès de la Race a été retardé de plusieurs décades par les defaults incorrigibles de ses propres enfants. Les vices que nous condamnons, semblent, malheureusement avoir persistés à travers les siècles, jusqu'au nos jours, tout en prenant des propositions alarmantes. A droite comme a gauche vous trouverez le Négre egoiste dont le dessin arrêté n'est autre chose que l'amour de soi-méné. Ces misérables sont tellement décidés dans our projet, qu'ils ne s'arrêtéont à rien dans le lut déterminé de détruire ta plus belle espérance de la Race, lors'mème que cette espérance embrasse l'épanouissement complet d'un plan, merveilleux pour la rédemption de l'Ethiopie qui, actuellement, se empresse de tendre ses mains, vers Dien. Le rôle est veau pour nous de consolider nos fores et décréter une halte contre l'invasion à ces misérables, et ce, pour notre propre conservation, si canine une Race nous devons survivre dans le terrible conflict qui, sans entailles s'acharne entre les Races, entre les peuples et entre les nations. Judicieusement parlant, pour le vrai patriote Nègre, il n'y a qu'une décision celle à la redemption de L'Afrique, si toute fois la Race, tant dans le mongole occidental comme dans le monde oriental, doit être sauvée. Ceci étant vrai, nous eny-ageons la malheureuse conduite de ces méchants qui s'appellent des leaders, et qui feront tout ce qui est humainement possible pour empêcher le succès final du plan ci-dessus mentionné. Ils ont miné les fondations de notre organisation; et ont cherché à tordre les principes que nous préconisons, à mettre sous un faux jour le but de L'Association, à nuire et à faire un tort immense à tous les efforts déployés pour la réelle solution du problème de la Race. A chaque fois qu'un effort vers le progress est tenté ces gens se sont constituées des véritable pierres d'achopement, et nous avons trouvé par fois, au lieu de marcher à l'avant nous restons dans le statu quo, et fort souvent nous rétrogradons d'un décade à cause de la présence de ces misérables gavaches fort pen scrupuleux et qui ne s'arrêtent à rien pour retarder le progrès de la Race, pourvu que leur avarice soit gratifiée. Nous ne voulons être personnel, et à cause de cela nous ne citons pas de nom, mais il est un fait notoire que les hommes qui se constituent le "judicatum solvi" du peuple, n'ont fait que tromper ce pauvre peuple, escamoter leur argent, sous prétexte qu'ils accomplissent des merveilles pour leurs dupes. Ils n'ont rien accompli, cependant. Jusques à quand devons nous continuer dans cette voie? Et quand les gens du peuple font de réelles efforts pour faire oeuvre qui vaille, alors ces mêmes délinquants se groupent ensemble pour saper et détruire même une setblance de succès. Jusques à quand vont-ils tromper le peuple, et jusqu'où, dans ces conditions, arriverons nous! Les masses sont déterminées à mettre fin aux machinations de ces Machiavel qui adoptent le faux nom de conducteurs. D'après l'exposé ci-dessus, nous faisons un appel à la masse de nos congénères aux Etats-Unis de se rallier autour de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre, afin de prévenir la furie de ces vicioux imposteurs dans l'Oeuvre qu'ils font de miner le programme qui est l'unique value de la race. Nous pouvons arrêter la course de leurs ravages tout en donnant à l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre l'appui et l'élan nécessaires pour la réussite complète du programme de colonisation Africaine, colonisation pour le développement très expansive de l'agriculture et de l'Industrie dans le pays de nos ancêtres où, comme Race, nous serons à l'abri de l'injustice politique et économique des autres nations, vivant, nonobstant, dans une parfaite paix avec tous. Le développement du plan que nous avons devant nous a été retardé par les Nègres égôistes qui se disent conducteurs, et qui redoutent, cependant, le retrait de nos congénères du monde occidental pour d'autres rives où ils seront à l'abri de ces péculateurs qui, naturellement, perdront leurs sources de revenus. Ce n'est pas étonnant que des hommes comme Murphy de Baltimore et son equipage kittent, s'acharnent même contre l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Nègre; ils redoutent la perte de leurs belles situations. Ils ont tout essayé pour détruire cette grande oeuvre sans, cependant, l'ombre du succès. Nous concluons en priant nos membres de vouloir bien continue à préter leurs concours à la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, afin de lancer sur les hautes mers le premier navire de la marine marchande noire. FRENCH SECTION ESET S D'AMERIQUE 1877 que samedi, publié dans ation Universelle pour e de Communautés Directeur-Editeur : Etranger .....$1.25 .....2.00 .....3.00 Element payable d'avance. ction NEW YORK, E. U. A. Ce que penses le Docteur Americo Lugo, un prestigieux de St-Domingue, des pretentions dominicaines En 1910, alors que le chauvinisme de nos frères de l'Est était on ne peut plus exalté, à l'occasion du reglement de l'affaire des frontières, le Docteur Americo Lugo, avocat prestigieux de S.-Domingue, un des leaders du nationalisme irrédentiste dominicain, 'eut le grand courage d'écrire un livre dans lequel il fit ressortir, lumineusement, que les prétentions dominicaines étaient, pour le moins, exagérées et fit entendre raison à ses concilioyens. L'ile, dit le docteur Lugo, no formait, a un moment de notre hisoire, qu'un seul Etat. Cela seul suffit pour rendre caduc si jamais il n'avait etre annulé par d'autres raites postérieurs, le traité d'Aranjuez, cheval de bataille des dominains. (C'est le docteur Lugo qui parle.) Des circonstances occasionnèrent la séparation de l'ancienne partie espagnole de l'Haiti, de la République d'Haiti. Elle se constitua en Etat indépendant. Lorsque la nouvelle République, longtemps après son indpendance, n'était peuple que de huit cent mille habitants, la République d'Haiti a dans les deux millions cinq cent mille âmes. Cependant, nous autres dominains, nous occupons plus de deux tiers de l'Hle. En toute justice, nous ne pouvons avoir la preintention de recharger les arrondissements de Hinche, de Lascabos, de Mirebalais, etc., occupés par les haitiens. Même si faisant droit à nos injustes revendications, le territoire dont nous contestons la propriété à la République d'Hauti nous était retournée, ou prendrons-nous des bras pour, l'ocuper. Certes, avec une population plus forte que la notre, la République d'Hauti voudrait empirer sur le territoire dominicain. Il nous appartient de prendre des mesures pour obvier à cela. Nous n'avons qui voter une loi déclarant que, dans limite de taint de lieues, les hancens ne pourront plus devenir propriétaire de biens fonciers. Cette loi n'aurait pas d'effet rétroactif. Nous savons déjà que presque toute la ligne frontière est occupée par des familles haiticaines, nous ne pouyons les en chasser. Et cette loi viendrait conditionner le droit de propriété des haitiens, qui occupent déjà les terres de la ligne frontière. Ils ne pourront plus les revendre à des haitiens et le gouvernement dominicain pourrait les racheter d'aux. Par ce résumé, les haitiens se rendant compte comment la question des frontières est jugée, par les grands juristes dominicans, notamment par le Dr. America Lugo. Nous allons traduire des chapitres du livre de l'éminent nationaliste et les livregons au fur et à mesure à la publicité. Le Nouveau Gouvernement Dominicain (Le Courrier Haitien) La chambre des députés et le Sénat dominicains se sont installés le 10 mai courant et ont ouvert leur session. Voici le programme des ceremonies qui devaient avoir lieu, à cette occasion chez nos frères de l'Est: d'après notre confrère Listin Diario, 1. La journée du 10 mai, date de l'ouverture des chambres, a été déclarée jour feiré par toutes les communes de la République. 2. Le 10 mai, à 10 heures du matin, une saive de 21 cops da canon a été tiée, tandis que solemnement les chambres s'intalient. 3. Après Louverture de leurs travaux en sienne solennelle, les membres de la chambre et du Sénat se sont rendus en corps à la Basiboue de St-Domingue où a été chante de "Un Tr Drum" d'actions de grace. 4. Les forces de la gendarmerie nationale dominique, municipal en tête et drapeau d'deployes, occupeient les abords de la cathedrale, pendant la cérémonie religieuse. 5. Le 10 mai à 4 hs. 30 de l'après midi, les élèves des écoles et été en pelerinage sur les tombeaux des fondateurs de la patrie déposer des fleurs offertes par les membres des deux chambres. 6. Le soir, il y a au concert, retraite aux flambéaux. N. D. L. R.—La gendarmerie dominicaine est exclusivement commandée par des officiers dominicains. Son chef, le général Cabral, de l'ancien régime, et qui fut gouverneur civil d'Azua dans les premiers tempa de l'occupation de St-Dominique, n'a jamais été sous les dres, comme officier supérieur, de l'occupation americaine. Le médecin major de Ja gendarmerie nationale dominicaine est le docteur Fiallo, cousin du grand patriote Fabio Fiallo. Il n'y a pas d'instructeurs americains dans la gendarmerie dominicaine. Jamais, même alors que St-Domingue, avant l'installation du gouvernement provisoire, était gour verpé millitairement par un amiral américain, jamais on a commandé en anglais dans la gendarmerie. Il y a, chez les dominicains, un ministère d'hygiene public. Le service sanitaire relève de ce département ministériel et tous les officiers et médecins de ce service sont dominicains. Le ministre des travaux publics est le chef effecif de son departement. Il n'est pas un portrait comme en Haiti. Les communes de la République de St-Domingue sont essentiellement autonomes. Cent trois mille dominicains ont pris part aux élections du 15 mars dernier. Ils ont voté pour le président de la République, le vice-président, les Sénateurs, au nombre de douze, les députés, au nombre de trent un, les constituants, au nombre de quarante trois. Ces derniers doivent voter le projet de constitution élaborée par les deux chambres; en collaboration avec le gouvernement provisoire. Les premier bulletins de voté des electeurs comporaitaient les noms des gouverneurs de province (ils représentent nos prefets, et sont plus par le peuple qui est le véritable souverain.) ceux des candidats pour être juges aux tribunaux de cassation, d appel et de première instance. Les juges de ces divers tribunaux devront être choisis par les chambres des listes de candidats élus par le peuple et seront commissionnes par l'exécutif. A St Domingue, les conseils communaux sont souverains et autonomes. La police des villes, qu'il ne taut pas confondré avec la gendarmerie nationale dominicaine, relève directement des conseils communaux. Les commissaires principaux et officiers de la police des villes sont élus par les conseils communaux et cette police est entrée en par les municipalités. Il y a, pour la ville de St. Dominique, 100 hommes de police relevant de L'ayuntamiento (Conseil Communal) de la dite ville. Il y en a 80 à Santiago de los Caballeros relevant exclusivement du Conseil Communal de cette ville, et ainsi pour chaque Commune, chaque village ou bourg. Prés de chaque Conseil Communal dominicain, il y a un syndicat par les Conseillers. Ce syndicat est un fonctionnaire civil chargé de l'exécution des arrêtés et réglementes Communaux. Même alors après n'y avait pas de gouvernement provisoire et que seul un amiral américain avec des officiers américain-comme chefs des départements ministériels, regisait en maître à St-Domingue, jamais les Conseils Communaux, ni ont été contrôlés par un officier américain, dit cotuit Conseil commun à Harii. Les plans ci-dessous seront exécutés dans la construction de chacune des quatre colonies; la construction de tous les édifices gouvernementaux doivent être sous le contrôle du Gouvernement de la République de Liberia, et toutes les personnes doivent se conformer aux lois du pays. Il n'y a jamais on et d'un autre pas à St-Domingue de Concéler financier. Le Revoir général de douines assure la perception des droits. He est régis par la Convention Domenic molaine de guerre g. 1949 et est port les pervoirs et étendre de notre Revoir général de douines. M. Pulliam, L'auteur Récèver général des domains des mariages, n'est jamais sorti des termes de la société Convention. Et cela paraitre étrange à plus d'un d'un à été toujours lutter face l'occupation américaine. Il a certit de nombreux articles, qui ont été publiés dans les grands journals américains et dans tout l'Amérique latine, dont quelques-uns ont été repérites par "Le Courrier Haitien" en 1921, pour dénoncer les crimes commis par de "Marines Corps" en territoire dominicain et protéger contre l'occupation américaine. Les chambres dominicaines doivent seulement ratifier certains ordres militaires, puis par le gouverneur américain, ordres qui ont créé des droits auprès. La Chine Suivant des informations de Monkiden, le marchech Tchang Tso Lin aurait déclaré qu'il tient à avoir la haute main sur la Mandhebourne septentrionale, et il insisterait pour que le gouvernement soviétique acceptait à leur valeur nominale les anciens billets de banque russes qu'il a lui-même acquis au pair avant la dépréciation. Tous ceux qui veulent aider le Nègre dans sa marche ascendante sont priés de s'inscrire sur notre liste de souscription ouverte en faveur de la construction des colonies, jusqu'à la concurrence de $2,000,000.00. D'ici quelques joues les premiers ingénieurs partiront pour commencer les travaux de construction. Prière de nous aider par une donation en faveur de la construction de ces quatre colonies. On estime que ces déclarations du marchel Tchang Tso Lin porteront préjudice à l'accord sino-rueque qui d'autre part, n'a pas été affermi par les notés japonaises adressées au représentant soviétique à l'Epkin, lesquelles insistent sur les privilèges et les intérêts japonais dans le chemin de fer de l'Est chinois. La teneur de ces notes n'est pas révélée, mais on croit que les privilèges en question se rapportent au trafic direct entre le chemin de fer de l'Est chinois et le chemin de fer de la Mand-chourie méridionale (Sud-mand-chourier aux Japonais), taïdis que les intérêts comporteraient notamment une créance de 10 millions de yen sur le chemin de fer de l'Est chinois pour matériel livré.

L'armée japonais, bien que considérablement réduite depuis la conclusion des accords de Washington, constitue encore actuellement une force emtrémement importante. En mars 1922, la Chambre des représentants—l'équivalent au Japon de notre Chambre des députés—voulut diminuer ses effectifs, afin de réaliser sur le budget de ses dépenses une économie de 40 millions de yen. Elle proposa une reduction de la durée de service de huit mois. Au lieu de vingt-quartre mois, le service militaire n'aurait plus été que de seize. Les Negres auront une Patrie appartenant a la Race Le ministre de la guerre japonais, soutenu par l'empereur et les membres de la Chambre haute, se refusa à appliquer cette mesure. Il accorda toutefois partiellement satisfaction à la Chambre des représentants en réduisant de quarante jours la durée du service, en renvoyant dans leurs foyers, par des mises à la retraite anticipés, 300 officers et 20,000 engagés, en compensation de ces réformes, il modernisa l'organisation de l'armée, la dota de nouveaux moyens de transmission, de nouvelles armes automatiques, d'engins d'accompagnement pour l'infanterie. Les économies obtenues, par la diminution des effectifs et par la réduction de la durée du temps de service lui permirent de mener à bonne fin ces transformations sans crédits nouveau; il put même comprimer le budget de l'armée. (Economies théoriquement effectuées: 10 millions de yen.) La Universal Negro Improvement Association a déjà entamé son programme pour la colonisation de Liberia. Ces activités comportent la culture et le développement industriel, agricole, économique, intellectuel et social de la sus-dite République Noire, comme la Patrie permanente des Négres qui sont éparpillés dans le monde, étant sans patrie, et conséquentment sans protection, et qui, nonobstant, désirent de vivre dans un pays appartenant à la Race, et où ils pourront bénéficier de la liberté réelle et de la démocratie vraiment digne du nom. La bonne population de Liberia accueillera très favorablement chez elle les Négres, leurs frères, des Etats-Unis, des Antilles, d'Amérique Centrale, Amérique du Sud, le Canada qui sont ambitieux, industriels, de la dite nation qui est entrain de faire un reine—ménage dans sa vie économique et industrielle. De la même façon que les Juifs sont en voie de reconstruire et d'instaurer la Palestine, ainsi l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre est entrain d'aider dans l'oeuvre grandiose de la réhabilitation d'une Nation et d'une Race. La Universal Negro Improvement Association a entrepris l'oeuvre du développement de Quatre Colonies dans la République de Liberia. Le première établissement colonial sera dans la vallée de la rivière de Cavalla. Pour cette destination partiront en quelques jours les avant-coureurs de la colonisation africaine, et au mois de September de cette année les premiers colons laisseront New York. La base essentielle de l'armée japonais est la division. Elle est forte en temps de paix, de deux brigades d'infanterie à deux régiments à trois bataillons; d'un régiment de cavalerie; d'un régiment d'artillerie à trois groupes; d'un groupe d'artillerie lourde; d'un bataillon du génie. Conformément à son programme de construction la Universal Negro Improvement Association dépensera $2,000,000 dans les travaux de développement et de construction de chaque colonie, pour les travaux publics et autres utilités publiques. Les vingt et une divisions de l'armée japonais ont même composition. Les réductions effectuées par le ministre de la guerre en 1922 l'améné à supprimer une compagnie par bataillon (le bataillon japonien n'a plus que trois compagnies nomales, comme notre bataillon), un escadron par régiment de cavalier divisionnaire (celui-ci ne compor plus désormais que deux escadrons et une batterie par groupe. Le groupe reste à deux batteries, la troisième est constituée à la mobilisation par prélevement sur les cadres de deux autres. A l'heure actuelle l'Association est en bonne voie de recueillir les qui respecteront les lois, et qui veulent s'établir en Liberia et faire partie premiers deux millions pour la construction de la Colonie de Cavalla. En plus de ces vingt et une division, l'armée japonais comprend une brigade d'infanterie indépendante à deux régiments de trois bataillons, plus spécialement destinée à la défense de Formose. Quatre brigades de cavalerie indépendante, chaque brigade à deux régiments de quatre escadrons. Deux régiments d'artillerie de montagne à deux groupes de deux batteries. Deux régiments de chemins de fer à deux bataillons. Deux régiments télégraphistes à deux bataillons. Un bataillon de radiotélégraphistes. Six groupements d'aviation, dont deux de classe, trois de reconnaissance, un de bombardement. Ces groupements ne sont pas encore entièrement constitués. Les ressources extrêmement nombreuses, dont en cadres qu'en soldatins, qu'offre le Japon lui permettra de doubler, en cas de guerre, des le decret de mobilisation, le nombre de ses grandes unités. Il pourrait mettre en ligne, au minim, vingt-et-un corps d'armée dans deux divisions. Il possède tout l'armement nécessaire pour ces formations.

I never start anything I can't finish, and I am sure that in the physical rnd in the spiritual we are going to finish the job of African Induction. (Applause). Now about the Liberian program our tongue is tied, and somebody is trying to lesson it. (Laughter). It is going to remain tied. (Applauses). Those Negroes are trying to find out something which they will never know. And I want you to give no attention to what has been said and done and written in those Negro newspapers. Remember this, we are dealing with a government, a government of one of the recognised nations of the world. We do not want to say or do anything that would embarrass that government. Those who have sense and intelligence know the position and situation of Liberia. She is hewn in by a pack of national wolves who have been trying for years to devour her. We must say and do nothing that will help the enemies of Liberia to do any harm or injury to her. For that you son our tongue is tied. You quiet understand. How Much Is Paid? These Negroes who represent nothing, mere mischief makers, going nowhere, with never a thought beyond that of the minute, irresponsible to the last one of them, take it an all-time duty to middle in people's business, servicing people's business, and tiring it not going to play the fool with them. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached the point now, and has been there for some time, where millions of dollars have been spent and are being spent to direct its program. We who lead know that. Not men, but nations would spend millions to direct the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. How much of it these Negro newspapers get, I do not know. It does not concern me. They want me to say the liberator government has said this and has said that, and President King has said this and has said that. They have said nothing. They will wait a long time to hear anything said through me. They want to go back to school and learn the art of diplomacy. So what never is said does not disturb us one bit. We know where we are going and tonight we are here to get some more money to get there and there quickly to help. Laying the Foundation for a Race We started last week to put over the most gigantic program ever undertaken by a race. We started last week to lay the foundation upon which a race of four hundred millions of men and women will rest in peace, rest permanently, rest happily. Now we are not founting. We have spent six years to reach the place where we are tonight. We are on the border of the greatest triumph ever credited to this race for the last three hundred years. We are on the eve of putting over the biggest program ever undertaken by a colonizing people, a colonizing nation of a colonizing race. History will recall last week's event.

Material Shipped to Liberia We sent away from New York harbor Saturday a week ago and last Tuesday a serious group of men. We sent away last Wednesday on the Bull Line thousands and thousands of dollars of material to the grand old country of Liberia. The materials shipped away on a ship of the Bull Line to Cape Palmas, the east part of the Cavalia River district, where we are going to set up the first colony to help that great country, are to be used by those experts who sailed a week ago—our civil engineer, our mechanical engineers, who are to start building temporary homes for those who will leave New York in September for the old homeland. (Applause.) Let us therefore redouble our efforts now in putting over the program. A Tremendous Responsibility A tremendous responsibility rests upon the shoulders of each and every one of us. Our experts will survey out the first colony, the first township of eight square miles. The cost of the pioneer work that must be done by this association, the cost of the utility work that must be done by this association, is placed at two million dollars. A part of the materials has gone on the 20th or next month, July, we will have hundreds of thousands of dollars of other materials shipped from New York on another ship of the Bull Line toward the seven region. Materials are being ordered from England and Germany and other points of Europe. Materials are being purchased in the United States of America, all to be dumped there for the purpose of being used under the direction of our engineers and with an array of work cars during the months of August and September to make preparation for those of you who will be from here in September to arrive in October. That is the plan and the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We know no other program now than putting our forces in putting this thing over. Therefore do not be dejected. Understand what your responsibility is. $125,000 More Needed for Ship $125,000 More Needed for Ship The ship we are to have in September must be completely paid for by the atlst of July. We need $125,000 more to have this ship paid for. I explained to you last Sunday that we are negotiating for a ship of 11,000 tons to accomodate 1,000 passengers. A ship of that dimension, a ship of that tonne, does not cost a dime, does not cost $1,000, does not cost $100,000. It returns into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we want $125,000 more for doing that ship up to the 130th street South River, New York.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instructions are the way of life. -Prov. vi. 287 The law of dehovah (the Lord) is perfect restoring the soul, the testimony of dehovah (the Lord) is sure, making wise the simple. -Pax. 7. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit of both jointic and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Heb. iv. 12. Is the word (Bible) an adequate guide? To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. Isa. vi. 20. I belong to none of the Protestant churches of America, but I belong to the church of Christ, and my profession is a Christian. I am subject to personal grief or a moral committed malattentionally or a trespass. The Protestant churches hold that a Christian can break the commandment and be saved, if so, why cannot a sinner be saved if he is guilty of the same calme? But in vain do they worship me, Jesus, teaching as their doctrine the principles of men, we leave the punishment of God and hold fast the tradition of men, and he said unto them, "Full well do we reject the punishment of God that we may keep the tradition making and the word of God by your tradition, which we have delivered, and many such like things do we do." Mark, v. 7, 9, 13. There is no person in America who can find that a Christian can tell a lie and be pardoned and be raided if he can be pardoned all he has to do is to steal or lie, etc. and report and pray and be eased. I am 70 odd years old, and I have been an evangelist for 25 years. I preach in 40 villages and towns, and I have met some of the heat preachers, both white and Negroes and they say, if I am right, the world is in a bad condition, that all America is living under this doctrine.

I am one for the redemption of Africa MRS. FRED J. WISE Newton Fall, O Some of us are especially interested in the welfare of the Negro peoples of America and the West Indies, and well we might be. But there is no reason why we should limit our aspirations as a people to one continent. Those of us who have been broad and intelligent, yet discriminating in our following and belief of things "African" have undoubtedly begun to realize that in the vast, yet unexplored regions of the Ethiopian world, there is a field for good, strong men who have nerve, ability and the desire to do big things. We have never been particularly keen on taking a chance in new fields, but if we are to catch up with and live according to present day standards, we must not only follow Berge. Okla. June 20 A Black Cross Nurse "Facts Facing Facts" Nation Building the beacon paths of other peoples; we must make paths for ourselves. Remember that the early fortunes of this country were made by men who went out and took possession of the land, with its natural resources of minerals and water and timber. Later on they turned these things into mines, power and lumber; for constructing transportation lines and factories. But first they had to have possession of the land itself. This applies to us, of course. If the adventurous white man can get up enough courage and a little money, to journey to Africa to make their fortunes, there is no good reason why we cannot do the same thing if we believe that we are an good as the other races at doing most things. White men have built a world empire on the heels of their pioneers who went out into the wilderness to make all or die trying, and most of them have battered themselves by taking the gamble in a new country. The Negro peoples of this world can do the same thing in Africa. WM POAG 1822 Washington St. Boston, Maar The Square Deal, However Won Out for Miss Borden From The Nation Because she stood higher than any other student, Hilda Borden, a Negro was named valedictorian of the graduating class of the Darby High School in Pennsylvania. Because she was signed valedictorian, thirty-one other students about half the class refused to attend commencement. They did not give as a reason that Hilda Borden was a Negro, they said that other than scholastic qualifications should have been considered in choosing the commencement officer, and that no adequate notice was given of the host of selection. But a majority of the student body, the whole faculty, members of the Good board, and the principal had this to keep in answer. Announcement was made to the entire school at the beginning of the year that athletics activities and such things would not count. In the second place even were the standings calculated. Hilda Borden would still win because throughout her school life she has taken part in every school activity but athletics she didn't take part in that because the students themselves wouldn't let her. And Kelly Patterson who stood second in the class and was the only possible contestant for the honor attended the convention and characterized the students as poor sports. The action of these embody Klinsmen was obvious and cruel, and they probably succeeded in turning Hiba Gordon shrugs put into bitterness and treatment. But the incident give encouraging evidence of how swiftly a reaction toward generosity and degeny often follows such an exhibition of intolerance.

HAVE THEM SELL remarks of our contemporary; remarks which, if they remain unchallenged, may involve us in an appearance of acquiescence. In British Guiana we have been more or less successful in getting rid of officials whom the obligates thought did not measure up to requirements; whether such officials happened to be a Governor Egerton or an auditor, Manges, and we have no doubt Jamaica will be as fortunate. Indeed, Sir Lealle Probyn. has not been slow to throw the hop to his critics, since the offending railway official has been "given leave," and a commission asked for to inquire into the administration of the entire railway. What the result of that inquiry will be is in no measure of doubt whatever. If the commission reports, that Major Thomas is the most efficient administrator in the world, he will be retired or "promoted" just the same, and Jamaica will be troubled with his presence no longer; even though the Colonial Office had to invent a similar excuse to that under which they retired Mr. D. C. Cameron (now Sir Donald) from Mauritius, when he gave mutual offense to the electives in that island. In that case it was said that his further usefulness in that island would be circumscripted in the future, owing to the opinion about the Mauritians, which he expressed in so far as Major, Thomas is concerned, the refusal of his salary came as a surprise to no one who has been following the Jamaica newspaper files. Major Thomas, it appears, is not an engineer by profession, but succeeded in developing opposition in every direction among his employees no less than among the electives, the press and the people. The "cleaner," in fact, declares that a large body of intelligent persons in the community deemed a change necessary and even imperative for our local contemporary, however, suggests that the electives were inspired by personal motives against the director, a charge as unjustly as it is unfounded. The Jamaica constitution, though superior to that of British Guiana in some respects, is inferior, in others in British Guiana there, is no latent power in the governor of Jamaica that of expenditure is prominent such as oblities in India or in Jamaica. If Mister Thomas' salary had been struck off by a majority vote in the Combined Court there would have been an end to it, and no necessity to talk of other threats to the Colonial Office, Major Thomas would have had to pack his traps, and hunt another job at No. 10 Downing street. Our contemporary suggests that if Canada or Australia wanted to sever the British connection tomorrow there would be no question of trying to enforce the union by force of arms, but infers that the whole power of the British navy and army would be invoked, to keep Major Thomas, or even an unpopular governor, in Jamaica. The idea is absurd. It is equally absurd to suggest that because these colonies do not enjoy full responsible government, they are therefore, compelled without remedy, to put up with any administration or official, sent by the Colonial Office. It is likewise just as untenable to suggest that the British connection MUST be maintained no matter what the provocation, how intense the exasperation, or how insolently the Colonial Office rejected representations, and refused to grant redress. There is not an island in the Caribbean anxious or even willing under pressure to pull down the Union Jack; but if in the unthinkable hypothesis of one arriving at such a decision, either to pass under the Stars and Stripes or a flag of their own, we venture to say that not one drop of blood would be shed in resisting such a desire.

STLEY HOTEL ASONABLE 5th Street E or Phone Harlem 9622 (In Indianaapolis university star) I remember reading some time ago a statement made by Prof. Commens of the University of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race until 1800 years after Christ, were accordingly primitive in their civilization, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb the highest Roman civilization. And I was particularly impressed with the assertion that, "Could their babies have been taken out of the forest 3,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern America, they would have covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries." Well, you say, that may have been possible in the case of the Teutonic race, but it is by no means possible in the case of the Negro race. You might say that if you did not know Blooah Glancing through a pamphlet published by Garrett Biblical Institute, I read with great surprise that the father of one of its students had been a "village warrior." I learned later that this student was a young African named Blooch, and that he had a perfectly fascinating lecture entitled "From Cocoanut Tree to College," and that this lecture was the perfectly DON'T BE Unlucky!

What, then, is the Negro's place. We men and women of the white race have treated the Negro badly enough. God knows. We have laid violent hands upon him and taken him from his home in Africa to serve us a hewer of wood and a drawer of water in America. We have debauched his womensfolks and then branded him as numoral. We have in many instances kept him in ignorance and then pronounced him hopelessly stupid. President Moton of Tuskegee is authority for the statement that for 2,000,000 Negro children in the United States there are, even yet, no educational facilities provided. We have treated the Negro badly enough. Has not the time now come for us to give him a fair chance?

Young, member of the Legislative Council of Jamaica, British West Indies, was the principal speaker at a meeting of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association last Sunday afternoon. Hon. G. Emonal Carter, Secretary-General of the Association, occupied the chair. Before he delivered his address Mr. Young was presented with an address, prepared by Dr. G. E. Stewart, D.

Speaking at some length, Mr. Young, who was given an ovation, reviewed certain political events in the island and gave the welcome information that of fourteen elective members in the legislative chamber eleven were Negroes. He reviewed in some detail certain mauses that were taken in the interests of the Negroes of the island, who formed 88 percent of its population, and commented on the race-consciousness which had come to the masses through the activities of the U. N. I. A. He said he regarded it as a great privilege to be given the opportunity to speak in Liberty Hall. "To read in far-distant Jamaica of the operations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," he said, "is one thing. But to come right here at the hub of this organisation and see how the ponderous wheels revolve and operate is another question.

Stand Side by Side "Whatever your hands find to do," he counseled his hearses, "do it with all your might, and don't ever let your leader feel that there are cowards in the ranks. You must be prepared to stand able by able with him in the march to victory. There have been times in the history of nations when it became absolutely necessary for men to risk their lives in protecting the interests of that race or nation. Other nations have had their heroes. Poland has had its Konechtuako; France her Joan of Ar. Why should we not have a hero, too? And if you have discovered your hero, then my advice to you is to be true to him, and in so doing you will be true to the trust imposed in you. There is something wonderful about the race to which we belong, and that is what I may call the Indestructibility of that race. You can not kill the Negro anyhow. You just can't kill him. He comes on top like cook all the time. You remember down in Egypt the more they tried to oppress those Israelites and to kill and annihilate them, the more they spung to prominence. Down in Australia the Moorah have almost ceased to exist before what they call western civilization. On this very continent some centuries ago the people who lived here were Indians, and they also have almost disappeared from the face of the earth before the civilization of the white man. But the more he tries to suppress the Negro, the more he increases. "I venture to say, however, and I paint it for what it is worth, there is no country in the world where the University Negro improvement Association could have made its establishment itself go well as in this country. And that is because a common oppression, to which the several members of the race are subject, by drawn them together and welded them together as a solid unit and has made them see the absolute necessity of putting together or falling together. And if you stand together, you cannot fail. "There is only one exception I have ever heard of with respect to the physicality is strength. It was only when they poured some water in the Southman's whiskey, and he would unidle not produce strength. But every other kind of union I know produces strength." The speaker agreed with an appeal to the audition to try and succeed then leader, to be prepared for sitting and suffice, to stand firm and turn so that the aims of the audition may be achieved. Brief addresses were also delivered by the chairman and by the Hon. L. L. Burrows, assistant secretary general. Catholic Training School For Negroes in Maryland (Lincoln News Service) BALTIMORE.

From the other viewpoint. The Japanese coalition to show the unseen recruitment of the United States because of the brutal way in which the "Westman's Agreement" on immigration was overridden by the Congress and Japanese occupation substituted. The newspapers and public gatherings in Japan defied to discuss the abolition, which apparently stigmatizes the Japanese as an inferior people, hot enough to associate and assimilate with the Americans, the most mongolized population on the globe, and there have been several cases of hard-hart, self-destruction, in protest against the exclusion and the antimigration. It is not at all surprising that the American newspapers of alleged light and leading affect not to understand why the Japanese should be so excited and vindictive about the insult and stigma. The American people have allowed the Southern white mental and physical degenerates to corrupt them to such an extent that they are obsessed with the Southern idea that Africans and Asiatics are an inferior people, without feelings, without sensibilities, and that only white people have these and can finch when a pin is stuck into their bladderated pride. The thing is, disgusting, and is growing more so all of the time. Nowa comes across the Pacific that the Japanese have come to an understanding not only with Russia but with China and East India, and that Japan has begun a systematic drive to stir up all Asia. One of the heaviest newspapers, all which are breeders of race, civil and economic strife, the "New York Evening Journal" says: "Hanihara, of Japan, says that American and Japanese friendship will last. His friendly words are welcome. Of course, the friendship will last. Mr. Hanihara wouldn't want his daughter to marry an American, however much he might respect the American. He would prefer a Japanese. We feel exactly as he does. We don't want to mix populations, in spite of our greatest respect for our Japanese brothers, that's all. Of course, we'll be friends." The deduction here of the matter for the Southern white man's "social equality" rackets: "Do you want your daughter to marry a Negro?" is an insult to Ambassador Hanihara, who will regard it an such "Of course the friendship will last." Why heading between "the lines," because the "Evening Journal" amongst Japan is not strong enough to break it? This opinion is full of dynamite. The friendship will last until Japan is ready to emash it. Those who know the Japanese mind understand that very well. In its disputes with King Japan, Japan did not strike until it was ready in its disputes with the United States it will not strike until it is ready. The situation need not have been created, and no influence was greater in the creation of it than the Hearest newspapers, whose Jewish owner has been a race and economic strife breeder in American life for a quarter of a century added to his own work by Arthur Brisbane, a Punjabi amateur who received his journalism education under Charles A. Dumon of the "New York Sun" one of the most elite and most innovative universities in the nation. How does Mr. Hearest know that Mr. Hanihara would affect his daughter for intervening a designt American for the would fine one. He might predict that she marry a Japanese because the Japanese pride of race, but he might defy her wishes all things equal. "We don't want to only people in spite of our great respect for our Japanese teachers, that all of our students will be happy," the "Exiting Journal" could later 514-245-8888 MERCHANTS BANK OF NEW YORK 1 and 2 North Avenue York, NY 10022 Getting Up Nights Can Now Be Stopped ```markdown ``` "When in being my day defined the time when the white spray of Europe and America curled the "High hand" he allowed to regain a showdown.

Major Loving Defends The Filipino People From the California Verdict Sir: In my issue of April 30 and continued in the issue of May 8 you published an article on Philippine problems by Mr. C. C. Browna. You will remember that when this article was brought to my attention I called at your office and informed you that the statements made therein were absolutely untrue. To refute Mr. Browna's statements I need only to mention, for example, the regard which the Philippines held and still hold for me. On October 5, 1802, I organized for the Philippine government the now famous musical organization, the Constabulary Band. On three different occasions the band visited America, the first occasion being to attend the Exposition at St. Louis in 1803, the second to attend the inauguration of President Taft in 1809, and the third time to attend the Panama Exposition at San Francisco in 1815. Home' of the bandmen were approached by observers in the different cities where concerts were being given, and asked why it was that the band did not have a Filipino conductor. I do not know just what answer was given on each occasion, but I do know that the matter was the subject of much comment among the bandmen, and these comments even reached Filipinos in high official positions; but never were there any efforts or demonstrations made on the part of these high officials to have me retired on account of my race connections, and I retired from the service in 1916 at my request on account of ill health. In 1919 a mission from the Philippines visited Washington on official business, and one of their first acts was to have me return to the Philippines to organize the Constabulary Hand, which had greatly deteriorated since my retirement in 1915. As a matter of fact, I am the only American ever called back to the Philippines for service with the Philippine Government after having once been retired. I was called by Filipinos, and these Filipinos hold the highest official positions in the government service; yet I am a member of the same race which Mr. Browne claims Filipinos earn and treat with contempt. I am giving you the facts, and I shall leave it to your better judgment who should best know the Filipinos the undersigned, who lived among them twenty years, or Mr. Browne, who were there possibly more than a MAI Filipinos are among the most has "ESSENTIALS OF RACE LEADERSHIP" By Prof. A.

NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FUND OF TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR BUILDING FIRST COLONY IN LIBERIA EVERYBODY ASKED TO HELP WITH A DONATION FOUR SEPARATE COLONIES TO BE BUILT The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now starting to carry out its colonization plans for helping in the cultural, industrial, agricultural, economic, educational and social development of the black republic of Liberia, west coast of Africa, as a permanent home for the scattered Negroes of the world who desire to live in a country of their own where they may enjoy the benefits of real freedom, liberty and democracy. The good people of Liberia anxiously welcome to their country their hearts and their ideals the sober-minded, industrious, law-abiding, ambitious Negroes of America, West Indies, South and Central America and Canada who desire to settle among them and become a part of a peaceful growing black nation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now helping in this direction as the Jews are helping to build and restore Palestine. The Association has undertaken to develop four colonies in Liberia, the first to be built on the Cavalla River, to which the first group of colonists is expected to sail in September of 1924 from New York and regularly thereafter. The Association is to spend two million ($2,000,000) dollars on the development of each colony for public works and other utilities. They are now raising the first two million ($2,000,000) dollars for the building of the Cavalla colony. The following plans are to be carried out for the building of each and every one of the four colonies, all government buildings, however, to be under the direction of the Liberian: Government and all persons shall observe the laws of the Republic of Liberia accordingly: 2. Water Filtration Plant 3. Sewage System and Sewage Disposal Plant a. Transportation Facilities 1. Roads, Streets and Pavements c.

THE FUND WHAT OUR GRADUATES ARE PLANNING TO DO Why Do So Many Go in for the Profession and So Few as Tradesmen and Mechanics? (From the Washington Tribune) An absorbing question at this season of the year confronts the graduates of the various schools. The question is: "What shall I do?" The proper answer to that question for each graduate apella success. The failure to properly answer that question means wasted time, money and energy and a mediocre life. There is some interesting data in the year book of the Dunbar High School. Just off the press. The young men and women of the senior class are classified as to what course they intend to pursue after leaving high school. Of the 161 girls of the class, 134, or 83.2 per cent, aspire to be teachers; 12.2 per cent want to take professional courses, like medicine, nurse training, law and elocution, and only nine, or 8.5 per cent, aspire to get into the business world as typists, bookkeepers, modistes, etc. With the 60 boys of the class, 43, or 71.6 per cent, will take professional courses such as, 19 for medicine, 10 for dentistry, nine for pharmacy, five for the law, and one for the ministry. Only four of the boys have a desire to enter business, and none express a wish to pursue any of the higher mechanical vocations, such as machinists, architects, engineers, etc. "Economics is often termed "the science of business." With that idea before us, it is a sad commentary on our outlook economically, as a race, when less than one per cent of high school graduates aspire to enter business or mechanical pursuits. It is evident that the "future of America and of the race is in our coming generations. These young men and women who are coming out of our high schools this year will be the men and women in charge of affairs tomorrow. Our future depends on the vision and inspiration that actuates their lives. If they have clear visions, clean hearts and strong wills to carry out, their purposes they will mold a successful future for the race. The professional men and women of Washington are the controlling factors of the social life of this city; and "society" is the biggest thing in Washington. As a result few of our boys and girls are inspired by object lessons to pursue the more prosocial courses, of mechanics and business. A race cannot be built on professional men and women. They are in the minority in all well defined and progressive nations or countries: The economic phase of our life, creates a need of trained mechanics and business men, even greater than the professional demands of the race. Outside of the ministry, we are pretty well established with trained men in the professions. But on the economic side we are sadly wanting in equipped and trained men and women. Society, politics, professions and arts are supported and therefore dependent upon our economic life. Our failure to make headway economically is our greatest barrier to progress. We now need to appreciate the value of organized effort, and for leadership we must turn to men who have made that step themselves with their own capital and experience.—Kansas City Call.

That is a question, unprecedented in these parts, confronting the Hamburg District Court. The stone is an African tribal fetish, brought recently to Hamburg by Hans Schomburk, German explorer and movie operator, from the Liberian hinterland. The Liberian Consul General to Germany declared the stone was stolen, and has brought suit to recover it and restore it to the sacred grove whence Herr Schomburk obtained it. The stone, which has engraved upon it the figure of an alligator without a tail, has been venerated for centuries by the West African tribes, and people flocked from miles around to the sacred grove to how down before it. Herr Schomburgk claims that he bought it for £1 from a tribal chief, but the Liberian Consul General declares Herr Schomburgk merely bought the right to take pictures of it.

MacDonald Gets Another Warning in Commons LONDON.-The labor government sustained another defeat in the House of Commons by the substantial vote of 315 against 175 in consequence of a Conservative-Liberal combination against the government's plan to deal with the financial provisions of the housing bill. The defeat, however, was one of procedure and not of principle. No political significance therefore was attached to it.
