The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 1 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NATION TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN CENTS THE VICIOUSNESS OF NEGROES IN OPPOSING EACH OTHER Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: My message to you this week is one of explanation, because I think it necessary for the better enlightenment of all concerned. As President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the leading Negro organization in the world, it is my duty at all times to bring before you conditions as they do exist and affect us. Sr.ey of Race Conditions After a thorough and careful survey of race conditions within the last five years, and especially that period immediately following the war, we discovered that in time, and shortly, there would have been a severe industrial and economic reaction in the United States of America and the Western world, to affect terribly the existence of our people. We realized that the abnormalities that existed industrially would gradually pass away, leaving the bulk of our people the greatest sufferers. Anticipating that, we were forced as should be relieved and the anticipated suffering of the people be prevented, or at least alleviated. It was in that wise that we decided on the African colonization plan of helping to build up Liberia and other West African countries industrially as places where Negroes from the Western world could settle, finding their permanent homes and helping themselves to a greater industrial expansion. Having this in view the association organized its African expeditions and within the last twelve months more energy was put into the proposition to make it a success. To carry this out in a practical and business way, several missions were sent to Africa; one in 1920, two in 1921, and the third in 1923, at a cost of over $40,000. The missions were instructed to arrange for certain rights and concessions which could be used by the association for the carrying out of its industrial program in Africa. Such concessions were arranged and the association was advised to promote the plan above referred to. Carrying Out a Proposition After due publicity was given to the proposition and the association undertook to spend large sums of money for the carrying out of the idea, the usual group of Negro obstructionists in this country, working in conjunction with other narrow-minded Negroes, started to undermine and block every effort in the direction of making the proposition a success. Recently the association undertook to assist in building up the Republic of Liberia industrially as a natural homeland for the dissatisfied of the race and in this direction a proper organization was perfected. According to arrangements a group of expert engineers as well as consignments of materials were shipped away, costing the association over $30,000. In the face of this, the same group of Negro obstructionists who have always blocked every legitimate effort to assist the race, started to use their influence to prevent the plan going through to the extent that they have sought to misrepresent the association to the British, French and Liberian governments as to bring about a terrible situation that cannot be easily overcome. The group of obstructionists have been our leaders in public life for many decades. Their selfishness has been so marked as to leave them without credit for one real substantial act of benefit to the people. To the contrary, they have waxed fat and rich at the expense of the poor masses and so now that the Universal Negro Improvement Association attempts to do something to benefit the entire race, we find them making every effort and using their energy to thwart the plan. Hinderances to Our Race It is sad to say, that the Negro leader, generally the big preacher, politician and professional man, is the greatest HOW THE SO-CALLED "BIG NEGRO" TRIES TO CRUSH HIS OWN PEOPLE THE CRY OF UNEMPLOYMENT THAT THE LEADERS ARE MAKING WORSE TRYING TO PREVENT NEGROES BUILDING A COUNTRY OF THEIR OWN JEALOUS OF EACH OTHER'S SUCCESS hinderance to the progress of his race. He refuses to do anything out of the ordinary course to assist his race and will not help on the part of anyone else. This narrow-mindedness and selfishness has caused us now to be in a condition bordering on our economic destruction, for there is no ignoring the fact that all over the country, especially in the big cities, you can now find hundreds of thousands of our people out of work, without any immediate hope of employment. The very churches that some of these preachers lead cannot be properly supported because of the non-employment of a large number of the members. The cry everywhere is, "No work among our people," and yet these so-called leaders will go out of their way to obstruct and destroy every effort that would seek to bring relief in this direction. When it is revealed that these so-called leaders have gone out of their way to send false and misrepresenting letters to the British and French governments and to the Liberian government asking them to block and prevent the carrying out of the plan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Africa, for the industrial development of these countries, you will easily see how vicious and wicked these men are. They have not only done that but they have tried to use and are using certain political connections with those unworthy white men in governmental office to handicap and destroy commercially the Universal Negro Improvement Association as evidenced in the infamous letter that was written to Harry Daugherty, late Attorney-General of the United States, asking to imprison Marcus Garvey and destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and as written to the English and French colonial governments in the West Indies and Africa pointing out to them that it was the intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey to undermine and destroy the existing governments of those powers in the colonies and in Africa, communications for which the man Samuel Duncan was responsible, working in conjunction with the same group above referred to. The men who have done these things and are still doing them are the so-called leaders of the race, the intellectuals who claim to possess a superabundance of learning. False Leaders What can the common people expect when their so-called leaders and educated men will stoop to the performance of such acts as to embarrass the entire race in their spite and desire to injure one whom they may be jealous or afraid of. Not only are these men wickedly inclined in this direction, but their dishonesty to their own race is so marked as to leave the impression upon other races that there is nothing good in us. It was the same group of political gangsters who prevented Liberia from getting the five million dollars that was sought from the United States some years ago. Not only was President Harding willing to let Liberia have the five million dollars, but the Senate was willing, until it was discovered that these political grafters would have collected 25 per cent. of the amount for commission and graft, discovery of which caused the Senate to refuse to sanction the loan. These are the men who hold themselves as patriots and leaders of the people; these men are the men who have been fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association; these are the men who stand in the way of a higher development, and so today I think it no more than duty to call upon the masses to bestir themselves and be awake, for if the people, do not start out now to exercise the power that rests in our hands that of repudiating these unscrupulous leaders, it will simply mean that another decade our condition will be such as to prevent our further helpless ourselves. Negro Own Enemy It is sad to admit it, but it is a fact that the Negro is his own greatest enemy. These Negro politicians and preachers who have been opposing the Universal Negro Improvement Association are worse than any enemy that we could encounter anywhere. That we have been handicapped in carrying out our work is not directly traceable to the white man, but it is positively traceable to the enemies that we have in our own race. The idea of men calling themselves leaders writing to foreign and powerful governments to take steps to block the development of their own race, and yet these so-called leaders will go back to the churches and preach to us about Heaven and God and the love they have for their people to get there after they have already created the world and brought them to desert such leaders and let them starve and die by the wayside. Can we recommend the political leaders of our race? Can we recommend the many preachers of our race who have been so selfish and inconsiderate? It is impossible. We recommend men of character and purpose, with a love and devotion to their people but not such as we have referred to. People Should Open Their Eyes It is time that the people open their eyes North, East, West and South, and see that the salvation of the race depends on themselves and not upon these unscrupulous leaders who have been in their way for nearly a half century. It is not that we fear these men that we recount these things. Because ultimately the Universal Negro Improvement Association is bound to triumph, but it is the hindrance and unnecessary barriers placed in our way, because our work would have been much easier if we had not such encounters. The Negro must realize that our leaders are selfish and wicked. If we must triumph, we must do so without their assistance. They haven't the soul of race consciousness as leaders of other races have; they haven't the patition of race as other leaders have. It is the selfish effort of our leaders to reach the top at the expense of others that has caused the race to suffer, and the poor unfortunate masses of our people must pay the price. If you doubt me, take a proper count of the men who lead you in your community and find out the difference between them and the people led. You will find that their leadership always results in their enrichment, while the poor people stagnate and in many cases go backward. Take your so-called big preachers all over the country. You will find them all rich men whilst the congregations remain poverty stricken without any hope of relief when bad conditions affect their community. Such are the men who are fighting from the pulpit and platform the effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to save the people. They fight us because they believe we are going to remove large numbers of people from the communities where they have waxed fat and rich to climes far beyond their reach where it will not be so easy for them to exploit them. It is that selfish purpose, it is that narrow-mindedness that has driven them to the extreme of doing what has been recounted. The Negro politician is no better in the same direction. He uses the people only for the convenience of what their voting strength is worth to him. Outside of that there is no interest and as the selfish preacher would resort to underhand and unscrupulous means to get rid of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so does the politician. Evils We Have to Fight These evils we have to fight and it is well that we know them. With all that has been done, however, the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands firm and determined to carry out its program and intends to fight to the bitter end to secure permanently and progressively this struggling and suffering race of ours. We can only emancipate ourselves, after we succeeded in laying a strong and solid economic foundation; hence we are all appeal to every member of the organization and member of the race to help the organization to put over its industrial plans. We want ships and more ships to help us reach the different groups of our people around the world, to trade among them, to take their produce from one section to the next and to build up an international commercialism upon which we can successfully build ourselves as a race and people. Let us do this and do it now. The weapon of freedom is in our own hands as the masses, and if we get together as such, we can put over any kind of a program that we want. The program now is for ships. Let us have the help that is necessary. Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York City, August 12, 1924. P. S.—All Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who are collecting for the Convention Fund, are asked to send in immediately their collections, and Secretaries are requested to send in their financial reports to the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City. Money is urgently needed to finance and carry on the program that is before us. EEDINGS OF FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION not written proceedings of the Fourth Annual International meeting of the Negro Peoples of the World, which ended on August 8, have been replete with satisfactory re- cords sessions were executed on schedule and the close of bound something definite accomplished, with a vast amount of said into every moment of the sittings. becoming at 10 o'clock when the gavel of the President-General James Massey Garvey, who is presiding as speaker in con- flict, calling the convention to order, the delegates and the presidents, presachers, teachers and artisans—were promptly phases ready to enter upon the day's agenda; and this in all the depressingly hot weather which was of sufficient in- fluence the vitality of the most robust constitution. Never- before the delegates and deputies, both men and women alike, have been under it with remarkable courage and displayed a physical prowess that cannot be rivaled by any race of people. It is doubt- able whether any other body of men and women could have sat daily hours in a hall none too well ventilated with the official meter registering 92 degrees in the shade, and deliberated with clear heads on the momentous issues placed thems without giving way under the mental-strain which was introduced. But these gallant pilgrims of liberty, profiting from the benefits of race consciousness which has been injected into the very life of millions of the race by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have realized that they are here on business not for intensives individually or for some particular community, but on the business of a race to emancipate it from the thraldom of abuse and oppression and to pave the way for nationhood. With this as a primary consideration they have prepared themselves to make every sacrifice in order that it may be expeditiously performed. This feeling was particularly emphasized when on Friday afternoon a station was made for adjournment till the following Sunday, several of the delegates expressed a desire to continue the sessions each successive day without intermission. PROCEEDINGS IN BRIEF disposed of during the week were of "Religious"—discussion of the day of Sorrows; the canonization of man; the idealization of God as a Hut but a creature of imaginary semblike image and likeness. reading of "Political"—discussing the Civil Union. reading of "Humanity"—discussing, object of the Ku Klux Klan; discussion and America towards the Negro reading of "Industrial"—ways and problem of the Southern States of the satisfaction of all concerned; and creating white public opinion to the cause. on the discussion of the convention received the reports of living general conditions in their respected their particular group and Negro Improvement Association. striking observance of the changes in the Universal Negro Improvement.

The encouraging and showed the growing rate the opposition it has received and of its progress, chiefly by enemies by jealousy or other evil causes we was, however, encouraging to find that were gradually being dissipated; finding their way into the folds of The matters disposed of during the week were as follows: Under the heading of "Religious"—discussion of the deification of Jesus as a Black Man of Sorrows; the canonization of the Virgin Mary as a black woman; the idealization of God as a Holy Spirit, without physical form, but a creature of imaginary semblance of the black race, being of like image and likeness. Under the heading of "Political"—discussing the formation of the Negro Political Union. Under the heading of "Humanity"—discussing, without prejudice, the aims and object of the Ku Klux Klan; discussing the policy of England, France and America towards the Negro. Under the heading of "Industrial"—ways and means of adjusting the race problem of the Southern States of the United States of America, to the satisfaction of all concerned; and ways and means constantly educating white public opinion to the needs and desires of the Negro race. Before entering on the discussion of the subjects above outlined, the convention received the reports of the delegates and deputies regarding general conditions in their respective communities as they affected their particular group and in their relation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In this respect there was a striking observance of the changes which have been wrought since the Universal Negro Improvement Association came into existence. Whereas at the first convention, the reports conveyed tales of oppression, humiliation and abuse imposed on Negroes, there was almost an absence of these abominable conditions revealed in the report at this convention, demonstrating that the influence of the association has been instrumental in bringing about a better understanding between the races in all parts of the world, and in uplifting the status of the Negro wherever he may be found. The reports dwelt chiefly on the status of the various divisions of the association represented at the convention. They were on the whole very encouraging and showed the growing strength of the movement despite the opposition it has received and the impediments put in the way of its progress, chiefly by enemies within the race who actuated by jealousy or other evil causes were seeking to obstruct it. It was, however, encouraging to find that these distracting influences were gradually being dissipated and the enemies themselves were finding their way into the folds of the association.

The issues discussed were all of great importance, but pre-eminent among them was the question of "The Formation of a Negro Political Union." With one accord the delegates agreed that in the formation of a political union lay the secret of the association's greatest strength in influencing the nations of the world to grant the demands of the Negro. Views were freely aired on this subject and the convention without a dissenting vote passed a resolution endorsing the forming of a Negro political union to promote and to secure all the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A., not only in this country, but throughout the world where Negroes dwell and to protect the entire Negro race, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Next in importance was the discussion of the "Deification of Jesus as a Black Man of Sorrows; the Canonization of the Virgin Mary as Black Woman, and the Idealization of God as a Holy Spirit, Witnout Physical Form. But a creature of imaginary Semblance of the Black Race, Being of Like Image and Likeness." This being a matter that will change the whole phase of the religious life of the Negro, it was discussed with a realization of its seriousness, and after careful consideration of all the arguments adduced the convention unanimously adopted the idea of God as a creature of imaginary semblance to the black race; that the picture of Christ as a black man be immediately circulated among the Negro peoples of the world, and that steps be taken to have a crayon picture of the Virgin Mary as a black woman to be subsequently circulated among the Negroes of the world.

Strange though it may seem, there were many delegates who looked with favor upon the Klan, declaring that it was a friend to the Negro in that it was the most effective agent in bringing Negroes together into organization, and that the Universal Negro Improvement Association had benefitted through its activities by an enormous increase in the membership, many persons having become affiliated with the organization who would not have been influenced to do so my any ASSEMBLY IN FULL SWING DELIVERATES ON VITAL ISSUES AFFECTING NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD DELEGATES AND DEPUTIES DISPLAY WIDE KNOWLEDGE OF WORLD AFFAIRS—REPORT GOOD PROGRESS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIVISIONS—U.

Warned by the President-General to handle this question with diplomacy because of its delicacy, the delegates followed that trend and ultimately passed a resolution expressing the sense of the convention that the alleged attitude of the Ku Klux Klan to the Negro is fairly representative of the feelings of the majority of the white race towards us, and placing on record the conviction that the solution of the crucial situation is the plan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for securing as speedily as possible a Negro government on African soil. In another resolution there was expressed the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to protest against any brutalities or atrocities perpetrated upon members of our race by the Klan or any other organization. Following is an abridged report of each day's proceedings: MONDAY MORNING SESSION. The Fourth International Convention of the Negro peoples of the World began its business sessions at 11 a. M., when the Hon. President-General and Provisional President of Africa, declared the meeting open and announced the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain." This was followed by the usual prayer laid down in the ritual for the success of the convention. Hon. Marcus Garvey, presiding as Speaker in the convention, then said: We are unable to perfect our state of organization because of the fact that all the delegates have not yet registered, and I am suggesting, if it meet with the approval of the delegates, that we adjourn until 2 o'clock in order to allow all the delegates to register, so that we may go into the business of the convention. Hon. S. J. Lee, of Chapter 27, Philadelphia, seconded by Hon W. E. Johnson, of Detroit, moved the motion for the adjournment until 2 o'clock, which was carried without any dissentent. The Speaker in adjourning the convention announced that the agenda of the day will be reported from delegates and representatives. AFTERNOON SESSION, AUG. 4 There was a considerably larger attendance of delegates at their places when the convention resumed at 2 p.m. The usual hymn and prayers were recited by the Hon. President-General. The minutes of the previous sessions were read by Hon. N. G. Thomas, secretary of the convention, after which on the motion of Delegate W. A. Sampson, of Dayton, O., seconded by Hon. Freeman Martin, of St. Louis, they were confirmed with necessary corrections. The Speaker then asked the delegates to rise and awe them in accordance with the constitution. The Speaker stated that the order of the day was reports of delegates and deputies as touching conditions as they were charged to lay them before the convention for the purpose of remedy and legislation. He suggested that one delegate be elected spokesman for each delegation, and also the laying down of a time limit. On the motion of Delegate Martin, of St. Louis, seconded by Hon. C. H. Bryant, of Panama, the time limit for speakers was fixed at five minutes. It was also decided that delegates speak from their places rather than from the platform in order to save time. Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, of Chicago, was the first speaker. He spoke of the progress that his division had been making under his administration. He had taken up the work of the division after a period of maladministration in spite of discouragements on the part of enemies of the organization, and at the sacrifice of much of his practice. They were progressing with the purchase of their property and had initiated educational and other schemes for the membership. They were proud also of the fact that they had in full operation all the auxiliaries that were existent in any other division, and that the membership was very much increased. Hon. Jacob Chambers, of East St. Louis, said that under his management, which dated from May 20, 1867, the division had been progressing very satisfactorily. He had found after having been a member of various chieves and organizations that the U. N. L. A. seemed to offer most for satisfying the needs and wants of the Negro. He had brought with him a report of the state of his division, which showed that since the reorganization there had been a membership of over 300, the debt were all wiped out, and there was a substantial balance in the treasury. Hon. R. R. Batchalor, of Oriente Cuba, said he represented several divisions, in that republic, and the work was progressing, but the most urgent need there was the presence of a commissioner, who would be able to explain thoroughly the aims and objects of the association. The presence of such a man would do good, not only to the people themselves, but to the association in general, as there were many who are in a position to help the parent body financially and otherwise. He also complained of the quarantine system which prevails in Cuba, whereby there is discrimination shown against our colored men and women after landing in Cuba, the whites being allowed to go free while our people are detained, and are made to suffer untold hardships while in quarantine. At the same time, he stated that the Cuban Government are in sympathy with the movement so that a commissioner, competent to represent the association, would benefit the members financially, politically, religiously and otherwise. Hon. Freeman Martin, of St. Louis, sald at one time his division had boasted of some thousands of members, but among them were several professional and business men who proved to be self-seekers and grafters, the result was that there were splits and the division dwindled in numbers. Since he had taken over the administration things were progressing owing to the fact among other things that the financial system had been improved, and many of the grafters were no longer in the movement. An organization, called the Oriental Trading Company, purporting to be affiliated with the parent body, had done a great deal of mischief by taking away many of the members until the President-General had notified them that it had nothing to do with the Universal. He spoke of the housing problem, which was the most difficult they had to handle, there being many restrictions to the occupation of certain parts of the city by our people. This, however, was being remedied. Hon. H. C. Holland, of North Carolina, said conditions in the divisions which he represented are fine, the people of the little towns of Winston Salem, living without any segregation, and there being no housing difficulty. The people had taken well to the organization, and the membership was increasing satisfactorily. Hon. R. H. McDowell, of Blytheville, Ark., said that the people, who were mostly farmers, were struggling with the organization in face of the opposition of the proachers and others, among them some professional men. But the organization had had the sympathetic consideration 'of the' town authorities so much so that when members of another Negro organization sought to prevent them meeting in the town, complaining that the gims and objects of the association were not satisfactory, the may not only gave them permission but recommended the work so being very good for the road. Hon. R. A. Martin, of Camagua, Cuba, said he indulged many of the remarks made by the delinquents from Oriente. He urged the passing of a commissary to the island who could speak Spanish and French, so there were the思索 of 'Spanish and French.' speaking people in that island who were thirting to learn more of the working of the organization. He also urged the distribution in those languages of more literature for the same purpose. Hon. J. B. Simmons, of Blytheville, Ark, said He came from the rural part of the country and his people had sent him to find out several things. He first wanted to know something of certain resolutions which they had sent up to the convention, and, secondly, they wanted some definite information concerning the ship that was expected to sail on September 1 next. Their division had had many setbacks, but still they were doing well. At a recent meeting the secretary said that he was 100 per cent Negro. Another member said he was 125 per cent Negro, and that was the opinion of lots of folks in his section of the country. Hon. R. H. Groseguy, of Natchez, Miss, said he pastured a little church of about 500 members, and every one was a member of the association, as he was of opinion that if he was to be a spiritual leader he should also be able to lead them in their temporal affairs. He attended the convention to see things for himself so that he could take back to the people who trusted him a true report of the work of the movement. Hon. A. G. Ellenburg, of Gary, Ind., said the people in Gary were in need of employment, the steel mills having closed down. In some of the shops there notices were posted to the effect that the white traders catered only to white trade. That was a serious state of things. They also were encountering opposition from the professional men and pastors, but the work was progressing satisfactorily. Miss Hattie Johnson, of Baltimore, spoke of her work in spite of opposition of those who, while acting as officials of the U. N. I. A., were also connected with the N. A. A. C. P. The result of this war that the division had loat a very large number of the members. She also complained of the treatment of our people at the hospitals and also the bad conditions at the homes of the people. She also complained of the stand taken by the pastors, but promised to continue the work in spite of all opposition. Mr. M. Askernesse, of Farrel, Pa. said that employment was scarce for the people in his district. The preachers no longer openly fought the association there because they had found that fighting gave it more strength. He had heard the remarks about the White Christ, and he had taken out the picture from its frame, and was only awaiting the time when the proper pictures will be published to replace the white Christ by a black one. He related how a near riot was averted by the confidence the authorities had in the U. N. I. A. and its members. Hon. A. Mills, of Newark, N. J., said that much of the success of his division was due to the fact that they had a very beautiful hall. They had lost some of their members, owing to dissensions in their ranks, and chiefly owing to the disobedience of an ex-secretary. They had difficulty in getting satisfactory treatment at the hands of the employment agents there and had as a result decided to open their own employment agency. He asked that some one from the parent body be sent to straighten out some of their difficulties. Hon. J. Smith, of New York Division No. 1, spoke of the fact that his division was the parent and spoke of the work that had been done at Liberty Hall and by the auxiliaries. Hon. M. Daniels, of Brooklyn, No. 2, complained of the neglect of that division by the parent body, and asked that more attention be paid to them. Hon. A. D. Johnston, of Indianapolis, Ind., said that it had not been for disma- sions in the division much more programe would have been recorded. He had, however, done much to improve the financial standing and the work in general. He had指令 to observe things and to take back a report which he hoped would enable them to work even more for the redemption of African. Mon. G. N. Lagen. @ Atlanta. G. said he people were all working towards the realization of the program of the association. Delaware Walker, of Delaware, said that though their membership was small until they were all 125 per cent, as had been stated by a previous speaker. Hon. W. L. Carter, of Norfolk, Va., said that the work had been hampered by the work of ex-officers who had sought to team them auncher and who had established some organisation bearing the same name, with an alleged charter from Richmond. He had, however, determined to stick to the association. In spite of all the efforts of the enemy. Hen. E. B. Grant, of Bermuda, reported on the progress of the division in that colony, spoke of the ruse he had to make in order to get to the convention, and then complained of the officials who had been drawing the monies of the association without working for it or without any authority. He asked that someone be sent to Bermuda at the expense of that division to straighten out their affairs. Rev. E. J. Smith, of Jersey City, N. J., explained the condition of the division in that city. He said the pastors were not opposed to it, and the membership was satisfactory. Hon. J. B. Sallisbury, of Homestead, Pa., also spoke of being both a spiritual and temporal leader of his people. They were anxious to know more about the Black Cross Company, as many of them were prepared to go to Africa and establish industries there. Hon. S. R. Weeks, of Chicago Division. No. 313, said he had found the division in chaos, from which he had managed to bring it at the present time. The membership was growing, although they had difficulty with professional and other men who had entered the movement for the purpose of exploiting the people. Hon. H. Clark, of Clarksburg, WV, said in his district there were about 20 divisions within an area of 50 miles, but many of them were between the hawk and the buzard. He came to ask for better supervision of the work of the association in that section of West Virginia. Hon. Mrs. H. Red, of Gary, Indiana, spoke of the large membership of his division and of his connection with the A.M. E. Church, the two organizations working satisfactorily together, although there were many members who sought to oppose the work and to take them away from allegiance to the parent body. Hon. E. Allen, of Toronto, Canada, made an appeal to the convention to send officers more often to the division to help along the work. Officers were sent to Detroit and other nearby points, but did not cross the border. Hon. Edward Allen, of Pittsburgh, Pa., said his division was getting along fine and they were doing good work among the auxiliaries. The preachers had been hard on the organization. The people of those parts were anxious to hear more about the association, as they did not well understand the aims and objects, and he was doing a great deal to help them. As to labor conditions, Mexicans were now being employed to replace the Negro, and this had caused many fights, as the people did not understand Spanish. The speaker at this stage suggested adjournment and the fixing of the time for the meetings. On the motion of Hon. Freeman Martin, seconded by Hon. S. J. Lees, the hours fixed were from 10 a. m. to 12 noon and from 2 p. m. to 5 p. m. The evening sessions, from 8:30 to 11 p. m. The adjournment was then taken at 5 p. m. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4' The convention assembled at 8:30 p.m. the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. Prayers were said and then the minutes were read and confirmed, Hon. C. A. Bryant, of Costa Rica, and Hon. S. J. Lee, of Philadelphia, moving and seconding the motion for confirmation. The order of the day was then proceeded with Hon. C. H. Bryant, commissioner for Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, then delivered his report, which dealt at length with conditions in his field. He detailed a number of vicissitudes through which several units in his field had passed, and announced that he had succeeded in overcoming all opposition and had placed the various branches and chapters in a position where they would be able to go forward successfully on their own account. Hon. E. T. Winston of the Highlands Heights Chapter, said his was a small community, with only 800 Negroes, but the spirit existing there was 100 per cent for the cause. Hon. M. Spencer, Cincinnati, dualt chiefly with the deplorable living conditions for Negroes in Cincinnati. It was time, she said; that Negro women exerted themselves on behalf of their children; who would be the U. N. I. A. of tomorrow. Women must take a leaf from white women's book and support their men with the ballot. Hon. Marcia Gustafson Hon. Maggie Scott, Cincinnati, endorsed the Hon. Spencer's remarks. Hon. Isaac Kellum, Columbus, Ohio, dealt with the internal affairs of the Columbus Division. Discussion was rife, he said, and an effort should be made speedily to straighten out affairs. Hon. J. W. Ross, Fort Smith, Ark., told of the impersonation of certain members of the division on trying testimony of seals and wicked Negroes. He was glad to be able to say that the man had been freed and consecrated by the court, and influential white people in Arkansas had endorsed the U. N. I. A. and its principle. Hon. Wm. H. Wood, Hartford, Conn. declared that Hartford and the other communities in Connecticut headed a commissioner, a real worker, to supervise the work of the association. Hon. W. O. Sampson, Dayton, said the Dayton Division was progressing splendidly. He asked the hearty cooperation of the parent body. Hon. J. B. Baton, Berkeley, W. Va., said his community stood four-square behind the organization and was prepared to respond to every appeal of the parent body, especially in connection with the purchase of a ship by the Black Cross Navigation & Trading Company. Hon. P. E. Johnson, Cleveland, spoke of internal affairs in the division. He appealed to the administration to hold up the hands of presidents, who, according to the constitution, were supposed to exercise the same control as the president-general exercised over the movement. Hon: H. Lowry, Portland, Conn. said Connecticut was in need of a strong man to supervise the divisions. The spirit was there and the finances were there. All that was needed was direction. Hon. F. A. Toote, Philadelphia chapter, dealt with economic, industrial and social conditions in Philadelphia, which, he said, boded no good for the Negro. Georgia was moving up North, and day by day it was becoming clearer that the U. N. I. A. was the only salvation. Owing to disloyal officers the Philadelphia Division was temporarily at a standstill, but he was glad to report that under his leadership, which he exercised temporarily, the chapter had added over 600 members in two months. He condemned the attitude of divisions in expecting the parent body to set their house in order. They do it for themselves. By the same token Negroes should not sit supinely by and say when a ship was procured support would be forthcoming. If the ship was to be procured support should be given now. The Philadelphia Chapter, he was glad to state, was giving its best in this direction. Hon. H. B. Williams. Boston gave an encouraging report of the progress of the work in his community. Hon. G. M. Brown, Miami, Fla. said Miami was cursed with some near-sighted preachers who sought to embarrass the movement. But the mass of people in Miami stood 100 per cent for the cause. Hen. Amy Lawson, Chicago, told of the splendid work the juveniles were doing. Hon. James A. Hassel, Seattle, Wash., in a very informative address, stressed the absolute need of the association acquiring ships. Ships made every nation great. They made the Japanese great. The Japanese in 1876 borrowed $275,000 from France for this purpose, and when the note fell due they borrowed a million from England to satisfy their obligation and to carry on. So they grew. Negroes must do likewise, never forgetting, however, that ships required money, and more money for their operation. Sixty-six years of age, he came from a family of, seafarers, and his knowledge of ships and shipping had prompted the division to send him to New York City to impress upon the convention the importance of holding up the hands of the administration in the shipping protect. At this stage the adjournment was taken, the Speaker announcing after the delegates had all made their reports the convention would proceed to discuss the formation of a Negro political union. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5 The convention was called to order at 10 a.m., Hon. Marcus Garvey, speaker, occupied the chair. Prayers having been read, the minutes of the previous session were read. On the motion of Hon. S. V. Robertson, seconded by Hon. J. J. Thomas, Pritchard, Ala., the minutes were confirmed. The order of the day, the presentation of reports by the delegates, was then proceeded with. Hon. J. J. Thomas, Pritchard, Ala., said he represented Pritchard and Mobile, Ala. The divisions were making splendid progress, though he must say some preachers opposed their efforts. Hon. A. R. Patesau, Alliance, Ohio. Make a very encouraging report on the conduct of the work in his community. Division 712, he said, though young, bowed to no branch of the association in its loyalty and contribution to the cause of Africa. Their units were all well organised, and the mainstay of the division. The preacher were the life and soul of the division. Hon. William Ware, Cincinnati, said he represented the parent body of the West, the Cincinnati Division, of which he was president. He invigiled in strong terms against the tendency of members of the organization to ascribe all their fills to Du Bois, the pressher and the snackers. What was required, he said (and the convention cheered the statement) was attention to the efforts of racially Negroes within the division who were the embodiment of faction and discord. Speaking of living conditions in Cincinnati, he described them as exegrable. Negroes were forced to live in dog houses, and the economic situation was becoming grave—work was alarmingly scarce. Hen. I. Curry, Monongah. W. Va. said she had no grievances to ventilate. She has been sent to the convention to ascertain exactly in what way and what measure her division could assist the parent body in the various projects it had embarked upon. They stood ruggy to give of their all to the furtherance and triumphant putting over of the program. Hop, J. A. Cralgat, Detroit, and he represented the second greatest division of the association, second only to New York. The economic affair there was, better than in the average city, thanks to the Ford Society, in which Negroes were employed, on equal terms with whites. It was true however, that the former whom Ford employed did not carry out what Ford will to the letter—they were victims of prejudice and discrimination. The Detroit Division was on the upgrade and was determined to stand by the cause to the last man and to the last dollar. Hon. D. H. Kyle, Larry Lee, W. V. lazard stress on the opposition the association encountered from certain quarters. This opposition was, however, being met successfully, and in time would be completely dissipated. At this stage the speaker asked the delegates to confine their reports to the general situation in their communities. He further suggested that the presentation of reports be concluded with the close of the morning session, so as to permit during the afternoon session the discussion of the formation of a Negro political union. Hon. S. J. Lee, Philadelphia, reported that his chapter was making splendid, progress. The living conditions were bad, but, thanks to the U. N. I. A., there was a silver lining to the dark cloud. Hon. W. Wallace, Chicago, in an address of much warmth and power, challenged the spirit exhibited by a couple of the members to underestimate the importance of intelligence as a pre-requisite of those who would guide the U. N. I. A. If the movement is to attain the maximum success, it must have intelligent and educated men at the helm. It was silly and stupid to attack the preachers or any established institution. The duty of the U. N. I. A. was to win over established institutions. This could not be done by knocking. His experience was that the preachers were for the most antagonized in those communities where the U. N. I. A. stood in need of intelligent leadership. It was the old story of the U. N. I. A. being criticized and harassed through an imperfect presentation of its aims and objects. He was glad to relate that in Michigan and Illinois during the course of his labors as a field representative, of the association, he had witnessed the conversion of preachers and, indeed, all ranks of the community to the cause through the intelligent leadership of the men at the head of divisions. Hon. K. E. Johnson, Detroit, next rose to speak. Exception was taken to his gaining the floor in the order of the day on the ground that another delegate from Detroit had already spoken. By motion, however, unanimously carried, he was accorded the special privilege of addressing the convention. The Hon. Mr. Johnson prefaced his remarks by taking exception to the fact that a special motion had been necessary for him to gain the floor. He explained that though he was the President of the Detroit Division, he was also supervisor of the divisions in the suburbs and neighing vicinity of Detroit, and in that capacity he had an indisputable right to speak. He had organized several divisions around Detroit. He endorsed the remarks of the Hon. Craitzen as to the economic conditions existing. He stated that the Detroit Division was now a power in Detroit Realizing the power of politics and the ballot, the division, 7,000 strong, had registered, and politician aware now courting them, conscious of the power they welded. To all those who ap proached him he had made it clear that the U. N. L. A. had no special candidate at present. Their votes would be cast for the man who would conserve and protect their interests. Detroit was ready to support the association, with all its resources. Hon. Bryson Hall, Milwaukee, said his community was in line, heart and soul. Hon. K. Bayer, Jamaica, said Jamica was a ripe field in which U. N. L. A. sentiment had been erupted. He asked the parent body to send out a strong man to reap the fruits for the association and the cause of Negro freedom. The people were strong for the acquisition of ships. Hon. S. V. Robertson, commissioner for Louisiana and Mississippi, said Louisiana was 100 per cent for the cause, and Mississippi was fast, getting there. He had organized 16 divisions, and he found popular opinion solid for the U. N. L. A. The association had recently won a brilliant victory in New Orleans, Louisiana, where two members of the association accused of having slain Dr. Eason, were liberated by a jury and the name of the association cleared. Hon. J. L. Simmons, Charleston, Mo. said his division was getting along nicely and becoming a power in the community. At this stage Hon. Peters, Chicago, moved that after the morning session all reports of delegates be suspended, and the chair use its judgment from time to time in calling upon such delegates as may have a pressing report to present to make their reports. Hon. Jackson, Georgia, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. The convention then adjourned until 2:30 by common consent. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUG. 5 The convention resumed at 2:30 p.m. The Speaker. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were reed and confirmed. The order of the day was then proceeded with—discussion of the formation of a Negro political union. The Speaker outlined the administration's viewpoint. He emphasized that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was not a political organization, but, according to its constitution, the association had a right of organization under its jurisdiction such departments as would tend to help carry out the objects laid down. The association felt the time had come to play an important part in the politics of the world; the time had come when the American Negro, and Negroes throughout the world, should vote rigorously to carry out the principles of the association. Politics was the advance that protected these human rights not protected by law, and if there was a man, whose rights were not protected by law, that race was the Negro race. The association intended to play an important part in the coming Presidential election. The votes of four million Negroes in the United States would be mobilized for that purpose. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, said it was indisputable that such a union was necessary. Hon. D. H. Kyle, Clarksbury, W. Va., said the formation of a political union would amusedly assist the association in putting over its program. Hon. William Wallace, Illinois, said he considered this one of the most important steps the association was about to take. With such a union, Haiti, the Philippines and Liberia could be helped in their fight for independence and expansion. Hon. J. J. Petera, Chicago, warned that care must be taken to checkmate the political grafter. Hon. J. B. Eaton, Norfolk, Va., said he trusted the administration had envisaged plans which would fill the self-hecking. Hon. Wattley, New York, deprecated the distrust, indicated by the previous two speakers. Hon. Lowry, Hartford, Conn., asked if it was the intention of the parent body to control the proposed union. The Speaker said if and when a motion was carried for the formation of the union the whole matter would be referred to a committee, which would report on the matter back to the convention. Hon. Wm. Sherrill, 2nd, Assistant President-General and titular leader of the American Negroes, said it was of vital importance that Negroes be taught and made to vote and for any particular party, but in terms of their ultimate salvation. The U. N. I. A. did not propose to indulge in cheap politics, to get a job for an individual here and an individual there, to help those who would help the U. N. I. A. America was the base of operations, and the Negro vote here should be corraled and concentrated, the various committees being kept under control. The U. N. I. A. was playing for big stakes—nationhood for the Negro in Africa. Bishop McGuire said the one thing necessary in the machinery of the organization was the proposal now before the convention. "With the Negro it was no longer a matter of party, but men and measures. He was glad that the convention was about to endorse the proposal unanimously, and he would move the following motion: "That it is the sense of the Fourth International Convention of the Negroes of the World, assembled in Liberty Hall, on this, the 5th day of August, 1924, that a Negro political union be formed to promote and to secure all the aims and objects of the U.N. I am not only in this country but throughout the world where Negroes dwell, and to protect the entire Negro race under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." Hon. Brewster seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. Hon. W. A. Wallace moved that a committee of eleven be appointed to draft the rules and regulations governing the Negro Political Union, the report to be submitted by Monday, August 11. Hon. F. L. Martin seconded and the motion was carried. The Speaker then named the following committee: Sir William Sherrill, Hon. William Ware, Hon. F. E. Johnson, Hon. Bishop McGuire, Hon. Wm Wallace, Hon. G. E. Carter, Hon. Dr. Peters, Hon. F. Martin, Hon. Hattie Johnson, Hon. Curry and Hon. Grant. The convention then adjourned. TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 5 The Convention resumed at 8:30, the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. Prayers were read, after which the minutes were read and, on motion of Hon. J. B. Eaton, seconded by Hon. Mary Massey, confirmed. The order of the day was then proceeded with. The discussion of the delicacy of Jesus as a black Man of Sorrows; the canonization of the Virgin Mary as a Negress; the idealization of God as a Holy Spirit, without physical form, but a Creature of imaginary semblance of the black race, being of like image and likeness. The Speaker led off. He counselled the Convention to enter into the discussion with full reverence for the Creator. There was no doubt that the Man, Jesus, had been accepted by the Christian world as the Spiritual Redeemer of mankind. Negroes, with the rest, had accepted this great personality, this great character, as their Savior. There seemed, however, to be a great deal of misunderstanding as touching the personality the race and origin of the man Christ. Different races had idealized Him as a Creator, representative of themselves. The Teutonic conception was different from the Anglo-Saxon. The Russian Christ did not appear to be the same as the Austrian Christ, and be the same at the various paintings and portraits of Jesus showed Him typified after the race to which the particular artist belonged. Negroes on this side of the river had accepted Christ. Those on the other side, many of them, had accepted Mohammed. The administration was not endeavoring to bring Mohammed into the Western world. Mohammed was not in need of change. He was a colored man, anyhow. But the great point was that Negroes in the Western world particularly were accepting the personality of someone who did not look like themselves. Christ was not black, Christ was not white, Christ was not completely red—Christ was the embodiment of all humanity. To be Christ he must have an equal part of all mankind in Him. The white people had claimed the white part and Negroes were claiming the black part. The Speaker characterized this as the most important topic on the agenda. It ought to establish a more philosophy the expedition. It could be to give the great Negro race and to emancipating pro whites a real racial federation, a real racial idealism. It could to inculcate self-respect and pride in the Negro. How could the Negro expect to lift himself to the high minima of human recognition and respect and achievement where his idealism was borrowed from others, an idealism completely out of tune. The Negro had been told that God was a form. Reduce him to physical form, and he was made representative of white men by white men. Negroes how believed God was white. Jesus Christ, God, the Virgin Mary, were all depicted as white, and hell and Satan and his lmpg as black. The white man had given the black man a measure of emancipation from physical slavery and had accomplished his spiritual enslavement. The Speaker warned his hearers not to be led away by criticism. Negroes had as much right to deliberate in this fashion on this vital subject in Convention as the Council of Trent had. Let the woglid say what. It cared. Negroes were now determined to think and act, for themselves. If Negroes were not to have and worship a Jesus that looked like them, what kind of Jesus were they to have? The Rt. Rev. Bishop Barber followed. He said he considered this one of the most important events in the history of the Negro peoples of the world. The subject was very far-reaching and destined to shape the destiny of unborn generations. He proceeded to show that the Virgin Mary was of Ethiopian extraction, descendant of Tamar and of Rahab. The genealogy of Jesus Christ included David, who had as his wife the widow of Urlas, the daughter of a Hittite, descendant of Ham, Solomon, son of David, was a black man. In his first book of songs, fifth verse, he said, "I am black." The Man of Sorrows was a direct descendant from King Solomon. Being so, he must have had some black blood in his veins, and black blood was very strong blood, for it only required a few drows, nowadays to take a man out of the white race. Even Moses, the speaker continued, was a black man, and recounted the incident when Moses was told to thrust his hand in his bosom. On its being withdrawn it was found to be white. John the Baptist, the speaker showed, was also a black man, and John had announced Jesus as a black man, with hair like lamb's wool, even like a name of fire, feet like polished brass. The speaker closed with a discussion of the origin of the Bible, which he declared, written first in the Ethiopian language, was incomplete and greatly hampered with. Rt. Rev. Dr. McGuile, Primate of the African Orthodox Church, followed Our Lord and Saviour, he declared If he came to New York today, could not dare live on Riveride Drive, but would be forced to dwell in Harlem because He certainly was not white He was of a reddish brown color Negroes must know the truth, and the truth would set them free. They must throw away the religious shackles with which they were bound and write their own theology. Who dared connexion the U. N. I. A. because the Madonna was carried through the streets of Harlem on August 1, pictured as a woman of the Negro race the disliked the word Negress? If it were a Japanese procession, the Christ would be a little yellow man with almond eyes. The Roman Catholic Church on Corpus Christi Day carried pictures of Christ and the Madonna. Dr. McGuire inquired who was responsible for the color scheme in rejection? Who made the devil black? In Africa, he understood, the natives all thought the devil white. Satan, they were told, was cast down from Heaven. If all those who dwelt in Heaven were white, then Satan must be white. The Negro was tired of being taught by picture that one race was superior to another. As a race looked up to its own standard, so would that race achieve. The Negro race was demanding new leadership and new ideas, and its great leader, Marcus Garvey, was supplying those ideas. The time had come when a day should be set apart for the burning in a bonfire of all pictures of a white Jesus, a white God, a white Madonna, now in the homes of Negroes. A new start must be made. Prehistoric man, he showed was a chocolate color and lived in subtropical regions. As he crossed to the Equator he became black. Other regions had other effects. The white man had lost something he had originally. It was all a matter of environment, distance from the Equator. The last point made by the Bishop was in recalling the incident of Simon, the Cyrianan, being "compelled" to hear the cross of Jesus. The word "compelled" was significant. Simon was a black man. The white man, the Roman, persecute, Jesus and prodded him with spears; the Jew, the yellow man, then mocked him, and a man of Ethiopia offered him sympathy. He would always think on the Deity as a great patriarchal Negro, and the Negroes of the world could not do otherwise without stultifying themselves. At this stage the convention adjourned. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6 The convention reassembled at 10 a.m. the speaker, Hon. Marcus Barvey, in the chair. Prayers were said, after which the minutes were read, and on the motion of Hon. William Ware, Cincinnati, seconded by Hon. R. A. Martin, St. Louis, confirmed. The order of the day was then proceeded with. Continuing the discussion in regard to the delicature of a Black Man of Sorrows, etc., initiated at the previous session. Hon. Hannah Nichols, New York, said this would be one of the greatest sources of inspiration, brought to the black man. She had to confess that she herself believed subconventionally in a Caddiscan God and Jesus, and full employment had only some with the disposition of the subject in that conversation. Hon. R. A. Boehringer, Ontario, Canada, emphasized that the various preschools present in conversation should question the greatest care in explaining the doctrine in the respective communi- tion. Hon. J. J. Petera, Chicago, said this was the age of psychology. There were more psychologists produced in the last ten years than in the previous thousand years. The time was opportune for the proposed step. Hon. T. H. Kyle, Clarksburg, W. V., contradicted the statement set forth in history, by white men that the Hamites belonged to the Semitic family. He emphasized that care be taken that the delegates return to their constituencies with a correct version of the discussion. Hon. Hattie Johnson, Baltimore. Md. expressed her impatience with long- drawn-out speeches and dissertations on the Bible in the discussion of a sub- ject on which all must be agree. One God. One Alm and One Destiny, and that God, a black God, was incontrovertible. Hon. Gill. Pittaburg, said Pittsburgh was to a man behind the proposition: Hon. Arnold Ford. New York. said he was not a Christian, though he believed in a Superior Being. Jesus was depicted as a black man, he said, until the time of the Renaissance in Europe, when a German, the burgomaster of Dresden, conceived the idea of having a white man substituted, and gave Europe and the white world a picture of himself, which it readily accepted to further its superior propaganda. He warned the convention that it should be remembered that the majority of black men dwelt in Africa, and they were not Christians, but Mohammedans. The great need of the moment for the black man is education. Hon. G. Weston. New York. said it must not be overlooked that they were dealing with religion, and not denominationalism. The convention was on safe ground. At this stage Hon. J. J. Peters. Chicago, moved that the discussion be closed. Hon. F. L. Martin seconded and the motion was carried. . . Hon. F. L. Martin moved that it be the sense of the delegates assembled in the Fourth International Convention of Negroes that the defilement of a Black Man of Sorrows be adopted as the ideal of the Negro race. . . Hon. J. B. Eaton seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. When the clause relating to the Virgin Mary was about to be adopted some discussion ensued as to the appropriateness of the word Negress. The chief objection voiced was that the word Negro was a Spanish word applied to the race by the white man and the feminine affix breathed contempt. . . It was fully moved by Hon. Hannah Nicholla, New York, and seconded by Hon. Minusco, New York, that the canonization of the Virgin Mary as a black woman be adopted as the ideal of the Negro race. The motion was unanimously carried. Hon. Begher moved that the idealization of God as a Holy Spirit, without physical form, but a Creature of imaginary semblance of the 'black race, being of like image and likeness be adopted. Hon. Bond seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. Hon. Bryd moved that the picture of Jesus presented to the convention by the administration be immediately circulated among the Negro peoples of the world. Hon. Wallace; Illinois seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. Hon. Hagsoll. Seattle, moved that the administration be empowered to take steps to have a crayon picture of the Madonna taken and submitted to it for pictures to be subsequently ordered and circulated among the Negroes of the world. Hon. Bryant seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. The convention adjourned until 13 p.m. the time being 2 p.m. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. AUG. 6 The convention resumed gt a clock Hon F L Martin St Louis reminded the chair of the suggestion of the Hon Kyle during the morning session in regard to the preparation of a pamphlet in connection with the meetings passed. The speaker informed the Hon. Delegate that he had ruled that such a motion would be acceptable under the item "Education." The convention then proceeded with the order of the day—the discussion without prejudice of the aims and objects of the Ku Klux Klan. Initiating the discussion, the speaker said the subject was a very delicate one. It was necessary for the association to take into deep consideration the practical side. The institution of the Ku Klux Klan was something that could be seen and felt. It was not only a name, it was not only an organization, it was a visible as well as an invisible institution, an institution promoted and supported by the majority group. Negroes formed the minority group, and it was, therefore, incumbent upon them to be very guarded in what they said. The Ku Klux Klan's activism were rampant in Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, and they would be felt in the North later on. The Ku Klux Klan was an institution made up of a group of people with an ideal of white murderer. It was then, the four of this convention to direct the attention to the consideration of wage and means to how it might get around it and escape its influence. The speaker then said certain extratime from Klan literature which he said, had been forwarded to him by a member of the U. N. I. A. This literature revealed the attitude of the Klan as contemplations of the Negro, who, it held, having been a slave, should not be allowed to attain to a position approaching equality with a dominant race, the white race, his first master. If the Klan, the speaker concluded, could tie up a Democratic National Convention, could impose silence on presidential candidates, then, he submitted, it was an institution that should be handled carefully, consideration being given to the precarious condition of the Negro in the United States at the present time. Hon. Maguire expressed his complete approval of the stand taken by the speaker.... Hon. J. Hassell, Seattle, Wash., said 66 per cent of the American people, was permeated by K. K.-K. Ideals. The only friend the Negro had at the present time was the capitalist, and the reason why he was the friend of the Negro, in a certain sense, was because he used the Negro to further his end. The day was coming, he predicted, when the United States would be assaulted by jealous white enemies, and on their treatment of the Negro this hour hung the coming of the Negro to their defense, an heretofore. Hon. H. Nicholas, New York, said the Ku Ku Klux Klan had set out to conserve white supremacy. Negroes should go and do likewise. Hon. J. J. Thomas, Mobile, Ala., said the activities of the Ku Klux Klan had redoubled to the benefit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, when the intolerance of the Klah pressed hard on Negroes they realized the logic of the "Back-to-African" slogan. Hon. J. J. Peters, of Chicago, said as the Jews were driven to nationhood by the Egyptians so would the Negro be driven to nationhood by the Klan. He emphasized the power of the Ku Klux Klan and, giving an example, said the Klan, could stop the Crisis Magazine from going into the South, could break up every branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in the South, could force them to move their headquarters from Fifth avenue. He invigorated against the attitude of the labor unions in refusing membership to black men. Hon. G. E. Brown, Miami, Fla. indented the last speaker's remarks in regard to the furtherance of the cams and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the activities of the Klan. He thought the best course the convention could pursue was to remain silent on this issue. He lived in Miami; and he knew. Hon. Johnson; of Detroit, said that while it was true that the Klan sought to take the law into their own hands, it was, at the same time, true that they wielded a very great power in the nation. He was glad, however, to find that the Klan made Negroes think. Hon. Ciprapunt, Trumbull, Hon. Robertson, New York, and Hon. Crossgrove, Natehoc, Mits., spoke, advancing the necessity for the Negro peoples of these United States doing nothing that would antagonize the Klan. Hen M. E. Boyd, New York, assailed the point of view of previous speaker, who she said, but spoken as if the Klan were a friend of the Negro. However true it might be that the activities of the Klan increased the membership of the U. N. A., it was cowardly to acquaint in the internecce the Klan exhibited. Negro men must learn that their duty was to place their woken in a state of independence. The race could not rise when women had to sorrow the flues of white men for a living. No race rose higher than its women. Hon Sir Wm Sheriff and assistant president, general and total leader of the American Negroes, said it was the duty of the Association and of this convention to protect against, and to condemn, any enswariy acts by the Klux but it was imperative that they do not lose sight of the fact that the Klux was strong and powerful. The Klux was no friend to the Negro, to say so would be to give the appearance of endorsement of the Klux's alleged teaching and burning of Negroes. He felt that the association should adopt a policy of neutral opportunism towards the Klux. They 'should be watchful and ready' to take advantage of any opportunity that might present itself in the program of the Ku Klux Klux to assist the Negro in realizing his objective. Hon McGuire then introduced the following motion: Resolved That the Foundational Convention of the Negro People of the World regard the alleged attitude of the Ku Klux Klan to the Negro as fairly representative of the feelings of the majority of the white race towards us and places on record its conviction that the only solution of the crucial situation is that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, namely, the soaring for ourselves as speedily to provide a government of our own on African soil.

The con- vention then adjourned until 8:30 p. m. WEDNESDAY EVENING SESSION, AUG. 4 The convention resumed at 8:20 p.m. the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garver, in the chair, Prayers were read, after which the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. The convention then proceeded to discuss the following subject: The forwarding of an appeal to His Holiness the Pope of Rome, His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, as leaders of Christianity, for an honest and human settlement of the problems of humanity, especially as such problems affect the Negro. In answer to a question by the Hon. G. A. Weston, the Speaker announced that the convention was being guided by Roberta's Rules of procedure, and by the custom est billed in convention. Initiating the discussion, the Speaker said the Negro. Using in a Christian dispensation and in a Christian civilization, desired to make to the great leaders of Christianity, an emphatic appeal, ethical and moral, for their assistance and help. The Negro had been turned down by the secular world and was still being abused. The church had a great influence on the life of the body politic, welding great power and influence of millions of men, in Europe and America. Hon. J. D. Barber felt that the appeal, if properly made, would have a splendid effect. The condition of the Negro race in Africa was vile, and the heads of the church should be made to realize that Negroes were alive to the suffering of their brethren throughout the world. Hon A. G. Ellenberg, of Gary, Ind, and Hon J. G. J. Peters, of Chicago, followed, supporting the proposal, the latter emphasizing the value of appeal even though the benefits may not immediately accrue. Hon G. E. Carter, Secretary-General, said it would be a means of notifying the church that Negroes were watchful of the situation, and that the exploitation of natives by missionaries who went to Africa, with the Bible in one hand and diplomacy in the other, must cause. He suggested that the majority of churches in America be reached through the federated council. Hon Mr. Lowry, of Hartford, Conn, said an appeal to local preachers bore good results, so would appeal to the religious heads benefit the movement greatly. Hon H. Stokes, of Middletown, O. stressed the effect the appeal would have on destroying the false propaganda that the U. N. L. A. was bent upon destroying the church. Hon Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President General, and titular leader of the West Indies, then moved that the discussion be closed. Hon S. V. Robertson, Commissioner Louisiana and Mississippi, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. Hon Rudolph Smith then moved that the chairman appoint a Committee of Steen to frame resolutions to be sent to the heads of the various churches, and that the committee report back to the convention on Wednesday, August 13. Hon F. L. Martin, of St Louis, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. The Speaker then nominated the following committee: Hon Rev. Barber, Hon Kyle, West Virginia; Hon G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Hon H. Bishop McGure, Hon A. G. Eilienberg, Gary, Ind; Hon H. Nichols, New York; and Hon W. A. Wallace, Illinois. Next before the house was the subject of an appeal to the President of America, France and Portugal, for a square deal for Negroes in Africa, America and the Colonies, and the forwarding of a petition to the President of the United States of America by the four million members of the U. N. L. A. on August 21, asking for his cooperation and help in the establishment of or applied by either the State and the Department. Note: No. of Patents earned that depended on the assignment, and the number of them be appended to the document and report back to the author. Mon. J. J. Potern, Chicago, and the motive was carried widely. The following committee was nominated by the Speaker: Sir William Sherrill, H. W. A. Moore, Illinois; Hon. S. J. Peterson, cage; Hon. Wm. Ware, Chicago; Hon. P. Johnson, Detroit; Hon. W. Martin, St. Louis; Hon. Wightman, Chicago. The following committee of five men then appointed by the Speaker to the care of the drafting of the petition to the President of the United States. Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Hon. Rev. Barber, Hon. Prod. Kyle, W. Va.; Hon. H. V. Plumman, Hon. Hattie Johnson, Baltimore, Md. The following delegation of seven to wait upon the President of the United States, on August 21, and present the petition, was then nominated by the Speaker; Hon. Sir William Sherrill, Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Hon. F. L. Marrin, St. Louis; Hon. Kyle W. Va; Hon. Lady Henrietta V. Davis, Fourth Assistant President-General; Hon. Bishop McGuire, and Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois. The convention then adjourned. THURSDAY MORNING August 7 The convention resumed at 16 a.m. Marcus Gervay, Speaker, presided. After the gavual preliminaries, the convention proceeded to discuss the following: The French policy toward the Negro, the British policy toward the Negro, and the American policy toward the Negro. The Speaker outlined the subject, giving his views on the different policies and suggesting the channels in which the discussions should run. He said that the British policy was skillful and hypocritical, harmful and dangerous; the French was better, and the American was more straightforward. However, it seemed that the French and Americans were gradually adopting the British policy. He called upon Bishop McGuire to address the house on the British policy. Bishop McGuire explained that on account of the stand he had taken. 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Controversy six-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, deformed skin, he decroaked any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth": often in a day's time, with Mando Foro, who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'last vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in Kansas City, Mo., 'Today I am' 56 but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God be the coverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, will work like magic in its capacity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have given, if you want to work with Mando you need a force of youth' we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.35 on 10 days' free trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not in need in every way, it costs you nothing. Send no money—just your name and address to L. F. Carlin, 606 Baltimore Ulds, Kansas City, Mo., and the treaty according to the simple directions. If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money, if it is refunded without this offer, it is guaranteed so write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial.

THE members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the readers of The Negro World will learn with sorrow and regret of the death of Sir John Edward Bruce, Knight Commander of the Order of the Nile, and Contributing Editor of The Negro World. Sir Edward has been in poor health for a long time, and he has borne his affliction with heroic fortitude, sustained and encouraged through it all by the ceaseless love, watchfulness and care of his devoted wife. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has had no more sincere and devoted member and worker than Sir Edward. He threw the whole energy of his splendid ability as a thinker and writer into the work of the association, through the columns of The Negro World, and during the publication of The Daily Negro Times, upon both of which newspapers he worked in sympathetic co-operation with the editor, and his staff. It is difficult to estimate the great loss sustained by the association and by The Negro World in the death of Sir Edward. He was a tower of strength, strong, forceful, brilliant, in his treatment of men and measures. The editor of The Negro World has known Sir Edward nearly forty years, having met him in Washington when he first came North from Florida to attend Howard University in 1874, and during all of that time he has found him to be a fine gentleman and a brilliant journalist. In the news columns of The Negro World today we give an article in appreciation of Sir John Edward Bruce which will be read with interest by the members of the association and readers of The Negro World. DIRECT POLITICAL ACTION ECT political action, based upon effective one of the essentials for the conservation and the best interests of the Universal Negro race, and of the Negro race. The principle has acted upon affirmatively by all of the civic organizations of the race that have been a year. The fact that the African Methodion church denominations, in their quadrisville and Indianapolis, advised the memberate in their voting in favor of those men, favorable to them, was among the new developments of the year, and put party management before as far as the Negro vote was concealment of President-General Marcus many important questions to be discussed. The Fourth International Convention of the World would be the formation of "The Negel will be received by the membership of the organization, it deserves, when the low political for country, and in all countries dominated by considered. The action of the convention teaching effect on the political fortunes of the DIRECT political action, based upon effective organization, is one of the essentials for the conservation and promotion of the best interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and of the Negro race. The principle has been recognized and acted upon affirmatively by all of the representative church and civic organizations of the race that have held their sessions this year. The fact that the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel and Zion church denominations, in their quadrennial meetings at Louisville and Indianapolis, advised the members of the race to discriminate in their voting in favor of those men and measures which were favorable to them, was among the most startling political developments of the year, and put party managers to guessing as never before, as far as the Negro vote was concerned. The announcement of President-General Marcus Garvey that among the many important questions to be discussed and decided upon by the Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World would be the formation of "The Negro Political Union," will be received by the membership of the organization with the seriousness it deserves, when the low political fortunes of the race in this country, and in all countries dominated by white men, is properly considered. The action of the convention is bound to have a far-reaching effect on the political fortunes of the Negro race. BLACKS WHO THINK WHITE people everywhere who are proud of the lious of all that is theirs, and instant in the one and the protection of the other, are the have been the people who are the most pre among their fellows. We do not mean, at are display of self-conscious power; we mean display of it. This disposition is greatly more generally cultivated among Negroes. THAT people everywhere who are proud of themselves and jealous of all that is theirs, and instant in the assertion of the one and the protection of the other, are the people who now and have been the people who are the most progressive and respected among their fellows. We do not mean, at all, an uphill and offensive display of self-conscious power; we mean a dignified and manly display of it. This disposition is greatly lacking and should be more generally cultivated among Negroes. Strange to say, we have a more general possession and display of this spirit of self-power and manly assertion of it in the Universal Negro Improvement Association than can be found in any other race organization. We need to keep on developing it among the membership because without it the race can amount to little that is necessary and worth while. The Florida Sentinel has a strong article on this vital question from which we quote the following: The Negro does not think in terms of his own color, his own people and their life. He thinks white. He reads from a white book, worships a God who is pictured to him as white; he looks upon white actors on the screen; he reads papers by white men with white news in it. He puts his money in a white bank; his employees are white and consequently he thinks that everything on earth must be white to be worthwhile. His own race is kept back, by oppression, and he thinks that to escape it, he, too, must be white. He does not think that the book by a black man is as good as a book by a white man. He doesn't think much of the Negro moving picture, nor the Negro actor unless a white man says they're good. The news in a Negro newspaper, of course, is not true, unless it flatters him. He experienced the failure of one Negro bank and three white, but the Negro just can't be a banker. His Negro employer pays him twenty dollars a week, and the white fifteen, but somehow the white man's fifteen is more than the black man's twenty. He lands the work of white artisans but he swears a Negro can't do as they, and the Negro business man who is business-like is simply an "uppish Nigger." Deep in his soul he wishes he belonged to the other race. He thinks white. THOUSA PEOPLE SAD SEA By T. Thor The delegates to International Convention Negro People's Office should embrace the while in New York Island, the recreative the more than 60 who make up the Greater New York The Negro who worships the white man fails utterly to profit from the example of this wonderful people. He does not see that behind the white man's goodness and behind the white man's meanness there is one object in view—the protection of his own, regardless: Not all the Negroes think white as the Florida Sentinel would have us believe. The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be accused of doing any such fatal thing, and they are teaching other Negroes not to do it. To them black is the supreme color because that is their racial distinction mark, if you will. "Our Father in Heaven," who is not the color of "the Son on earth," cannot be "in the image of" the "Father in Heaven," and the two may not be as one in the vital things of the flesh and of the spirit. If we are black and our ideals are based upon white there will certainly be a crossing of ideals which may not work for the betterment of either. General Jans Christian Smuts, the iron man of South Africa, who has no love for the native black people, who should have no love for him by the same token, and we don't think that they have, just before he was voted out of the premiership of the Union of South Africa, declared that the natives used to regard white people as gods but that they no longer do so. That is to say, the natives used to think in terms of white, but have been made by injustice and wrong to see and think black; that is, to see and think as they are and for themselves. That is great gain. It is the proper starting point, going on from which they are likely to reach perfection as nearly as they would be likely to fall short of it going in the opposite direction. The position recently taken by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that the father and the son must be of the same color, based upon the statement of Jesus that "I and my father are one," has created a great stir in the land, but the doctrine is bound to gain favor, because it appeals not only to the logic, but the common sense of it. Everywhere white people think white; everywhere black people must think black, or they are going to fall far short of all that is good, better and best in living.

The Negro everywhere to keep on groove of music, of poetry, of song, of oratory him in his splendid inheritance and which him by legislation or hate. If there is one gift more than another that the Negro people possess in larger measure than the gift of music, of poetry and of song, we have not been able to discover it. The gift of oratory, the gift of speech standing upright on the feet, the gift to attract and hold the attention of large masses of people, the Negro possesses along with the musical gift; but the gift of music and the gift of oratory are so closely akin as to make for oneness. That is to say, music is oratory and oratory is music. The one appeals to and sways us as the other does, with this exception, that music and the attuning of it, its numbers, if, we may so term it, has a universal language of its own, it is the one universal language, whose notes are the same everywhere and therefore within the reach of all those who will take the trouble to master the interpretation of the notes. Music loses nothing by translation, because the language of it is a universal language. Music differs from oratory in this respect: The language of music is universal, while the language of oratory is racial and tribal and national, and can only be adequately understood in the language it is delivered. It suffers by translation, as there are words, there are tones and gestures, which cannot be translated into any other language. That the Negro people are so plenteously endowed with the gifts of music and oratory, of which poetry is but another related gift, is matter of great satisfaction, and will do much, when they are more fully developed, as they have done much in the undeveloped state, to help give the race the standing among enlightened people to which they are entitled and to which they justly aspire. The Virgin Islands Band, which is now touring the United States, under the leadership of Captain A. A. Adams, is one of the most creditable race organizations in existence. That it was fostered and nurtured by the marine administration of the Virgin Islands, under the directionship of a Negro musician, is a matter to be considered in the vast possibilities of which the Island Negroes of the United States and of Great Britain are capable. We have seen and heard the land on parade, and we have listened in for hours to its concerts over the radio broadcast, and we have felt a thrill of pride and admiration at the success which has followed these concert broadcasts. There are plenty of people in the country who heard the Filipino band when it toured the United States. It was developed to the highest efficiency by Major Walter H. Loving of the United States Army. The vogue the band obtained in this country and the Far East reflected great credit upon the American leader and the Filipino members of it equally. The Editor of The Negro World, when on an official mission in the Philippines in 1900, had an opportunity to judge of the affection in which the people of the Islands held Major Loving and his band. It is up to the Negro everywhere to keep on growing in the precious gifts of music, of poetry, of song, of oratory, wherewith God endowed him in his splendid inheritance and whicht can not be taken away from him by legislation or hate. HEALTH TOPICS BY DR. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Ass'n Chin-Cough This may seem a new name for whooping cough, but among some groups of people, it is by no means unusual. Whooping cough is extremely infectious and is conveyed in the ordinary way by coughing and sneezing and by any other means of putting the secretions of the nose and throat where other children can take them into their mouths. During the paroxysm which sometimes causes vomiting, the virus of the disease may be conveyed to another, either directly into the throat or to the clothing or the objects which may be picked up. It is not a thing to be treated recklessly, for among contagious diseases it is second only to diphtheria as a --- --- an another that the Negro people than the gift of music, of poetry and able to discover it.

In the past ten years approximately 100,000 children died of it. No doubt if we could estimate the number of children who died of some other disease toward which they had been weakened by a forerunning attack of whooping cough, we should and an even larger, toll. Is it not a terrible-thing to contemplate this enormous loss of life from a disease which it spread in a way which can be avoided? Why do we not concentrate our attention upon such things which mean so much to us? Why do we not insist that our children learn the simple rules of self-protection and the safeguarding of others? Why do not older folks set the correct example? If disease, and death can be prevented by covering, coughs, sneezes and by NOT expectorating improperly, why don't we see to it that these simple precautions are it fulfilled. --- THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BY "THE SAD SEA WAVES" By T. Thomas Fortune The delegates to the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World should embrace the opportunity while in New York to visit Coney Island, the recreation paradise of the more than 6,000,000 people who make up the population of the Greater New York. It is the greatest aid best 6,000,000 people gathered anywhere in one municipality, with better government and better understanding among its one hundred and more race types. There is little race friction in Greater New York. The race is represented in all of the departments of the City government, thanks to the Tammany Hall Democracy and Mayor John F. Hylan, who is as big hearted an American as ever lived and who has come very near wiping out the color line in the politics of Greater New York. We want it that way in all of the cities of the Nation, and we may have it in the long run. If the delegates should go down to Coney Island and return by steamboat they would see and learn something they would otherwise miss; but they should not miss it. Last Sunday I went to Coney Island with two friends. We all need companionship. The man who has to flock by himself is always a lonesome and may sometimes be a dangerous creature. We need association one with the other. When we don't need it we are sure to be queer, very queer. And the world is full of queer creatures. The boat we went down on was crowded with people, all running away from the excessive heat of the big city and seeking a breath of air by "the sad sea waves," as the poet has expressed it. For me there is never any sadness in the sea or its waves. Like Lord Byron, the ocean is always fascinating, always a friend, inviting me to its massive and sympathetic embrace. Every inch of the way on either side of the Narrows there are beautiful forts and villas and landscapes and waiting craft that entertained and distracted, with Bartholdi's Goddess of Liberty looking benignly over it all. As the steamer neared Coney Island thousands of people, in bathing suits, more or less abbreviated, lined the water front for miles, the people looking from the distance like so many yellow ghosts. It is said there were 600,000 people on the island, many of them in bathing suits and lunging in the water or lounging on "the golden sands," and all seeking relief from the heat. And do you know that all of them looked dark, very dark, a brownish color here and a yellowish color there, which gave me the impression that the vaunted Nordic color, the white color, had got badly mixed with the black color, and was surely fading into something which did not look and could not be classified as Nordic. O you Nordic! And the thousands who thronged the side streets of Faker Town—they were of all races and colors and tongues—but they were all bidding for trade. Here a bunch of blacks and high browns, there a sickly reddish, there again a whitish group of Takers, bidding to separate us from our pennies, the dear pennies that make the dollars. All sorts and conditions are to be found at Coney Island on Sunday. They are well behaved, they are tolerant, they are good natured, and they mostly look to be people who are vaguely turning from white to some other color not now easily classified, but not Nordic, not white, but something else. Coney Island on Sunday—it is a wonderful place to study. human types, human weaknesses, human colors, and to get separated from your money—if you don't watch your steps. U. N..I. A. SPORT EVENT Hon. Marcus Garvey to Bowl First Ball at Cricket Match on August 16 At Commerce's Field, Brooklyn, on August 16, an attractive sporting event has been arranged to take place under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. An eleven representing the U. N. I. A. will meet an all-star New York eleven in a cricket match at which Hon. Marcus Garvey will bowl the first ball. Delegates attending the Fourth International are asked to note the following directions: From New York take the Seventh avenue, subway going to Pennsylvania avenue, get off at Kingston avenue, and walk one block to Albany avenue, then south to grounds. Admission charge is 50 cents and tickets may now be obtained at 56 West 135th street, or at Liberty Mall in the evening. Game starts at 2 p. m. WHAT WE BELIEVE It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS It is our duty to see that the best Black man is selected to run for office. It is further our duty to prevent too many Black men from attempting to secure the same office, thereby dividing our limited vote and rendering it impossible to elect any of our Black candidates—Pacific Defender. We have increased from 2,000,000 freed in 1865 to nearly 12,000,000 today. But we have not yet spanned the gap between poorly paid common labor and better paid skilled labor. When this is done the Negro in America will be well on the road to economic prosperity. Our business will be progressing as much at the bottom as at the top. Then there will be less tumbling down—Gary Sun. Hereafter, we will not vote the Republican or Democratic ticket because of party preference, but because of the individual fitness of the candidates—Wheeling (W. Va.) Advocate This is an age of specialties and specialists. Just as it takes studious training to acquire the gentle art of plugging a tooth 'or amputating' a limb, just so does it take years of studious training to know what to do to make an investor's dollar bill grow whiskers while "runnin' wild." More training and better training are what we need, and we need them with interest before we can successfully build structural business bridges or outgrace the combination of a bank vault. It takes more than brains to handle corporate stock, and it calls for something more than a college degree for a man to know how to supervise the business of a steam laundry. That something is more training—better training in the plain, practical, honest-to-goodness principles of business—Denver Star. Any one visiting our city must be favorably impressed by the beautiful appearance of homes and surroundings occupied by our group. New buildings are going up everywhere and newly painted and reconstructed Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, offers one reasonable suggestion. He says: "God tells us to worship Him in our own image. We are black, and to be in our image. God must be black." He insists, therefore, on a black God for colored people, with black saints, and in addition, demands the whole of Africa for the colored race. Mr. Garvey's idea of adapting God to the racial color is not, entirely new. Missionaries in Africa long ago showed divine personages with black faces in order to make it easier to convert the Africans. Their primitive minds could not in a hurry get used to the idea of a white-faced divinity. Today, on the edge of the Mediterranean, in northern Africa, you might see a famque holy image, set black, offering comfort to many darkskinned Christian mariners. The color pleases them and doubtless does not annoy any Jivine being.

Mr. Garvey says, "When the white men were living in caves, we Negroes gave them a civilization that they snatched away from us." There may be something in that. Some historians agree, in part, with Mr. Garvey. But civilization belongs to him who has it, and knows how to use it. The Japanese seek to take it from us and improve on it. Honor to them, if they make a better success of it. CATE INCREASED INTEREST IN UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ENEMIES OF MOVEMENT ARE DENOUNCED—FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE UNANIMOUSLY PASS RESOLUTION TO PETITION CONGRESS—STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO CURB THE ENEMIES' EVIL SCHEMES WAR DECLARED ON DU BOIS AND THE N. A. A. C. P. ALL THE POWER OF THE U. N. I. A. WILL BE THROWN INTO THE FIGHT LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night. August 10.—Increased interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association created by the convention which is now in session, was demonstrated by the tremendous gathering that attended tonight's meeting. Sunday night in Liberty Hall is always looked forward to as a big event in the lives of Negroes in New York City, who grasp the opportunity of hearing first hand the messages that are sent over the world and to which Negroes everywhere look for inspiration, but convention time brings them together in considerably larger numbers that tax Liberty Hall to its capacity. So it was tonight. The usual program of musical numbers and the exercises of the military and other units of the organization, preceded the speeches. The speakers tonight were: Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division; Hon. W. A. Wallace, commissioner of the State of Illinois, and Hon. William Sherrill, second assistant president-general, each of whom held the audience with breathless attention as he spoke of the virtues of the movement, and denounced the enemies who are seeking to destroy it. To emphasize how the membership of the association is taking cognizance of the attempts that are being made by the enemies of the association to embarrass it and its leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, a resolution was unanimously passed before the meeting closed, authorizing the drafting of a petition to the Congress of the United States of America praying for a congressional investigation into the acts of certain Federal agents in relation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The discussion on this matter is as follows: PETITION TO CONGRESS Hon. F.

It is then put to the great gather- er 5,000 assembled. Hon. F. Johnson, Delegate from Detroit, said: Realizing the embarrassing position in which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been placed for the sake of this struggling race of ours and the undercurrent move of the enemy to destroy the work of this organization and its leader, I mean the enemy that lurks around our own fireside and secretes himself in our bosom that enemy that has the same black skin as ourselves who uses underhand methods to destroy this association and who has so embittered many of our African brothers against this association, making them believe we are going to take the government of Liberia out of their hands, we come tonight to present to the delegates here assembled, this resolution: Be it resolved, That we, the delegates attending the Fourth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, petition the Hon. Congress of the United States, of America for a Congressional investigation into the acts of certain Federal agents of the district of New York, who have allowed themselves to be used by Negro politicians, and rivals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to handicap and impede its efforts in working for a feasible and workable solution of the Negro problem, and that such investigation be made immediately. Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, said: "Fellow strugglers, realizing that the petition to the United States Congress is based upon the truth and that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is bound to an actual solution of the race problem, and recognizing that there are certain crooked leaders, white and black, who are attempting to destroy the morale of this organization. I respectfully beg, in the name of the Lord, and in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to second the motion." The motion was then put to the great gathering and carried unanimously by over 5,000 assembled. JAIL NO DETERRENT Hon.

Marcus Garvey said, owing to the late hour, he would make no address, and announced that at the next day's session of the convention he would present his report, which, at the evening session, would be followed by an address. He then made the following remarks: The enemy don't seem to understand they cannot embarrass me at all. Their persecution does not affect me one bit because I am tuned to the supreme sacrifice for the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) As I told them the other day at Carnegie Hall, the jail can go to hell where Marcus Garvey is concerned, in the fight for the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Only cowards and crooks, thieves and thugs are afraid of jail. Men who have principles to uphold and sacred trusts and responsibilities do not care about jail, the cross, nor the grave. They only care about those sacred principles that mean so much to the human race. And the fellows who are fighting me do not realize they cannot fight the spirit of four hundred million Negroes. (Loud applause and cheers.) They ought to realize that Marcus Garvey cannot be cowed or scared. The principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must live, and as long as I have breath in my body, I shall give it to the cause. Those who are fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association will get what is coming to them sooner or later. (Loud and prolonged applause.) HON. J. J. PETERS' ADDRESS The first speaker is the text of the speeches: The first speaker was Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division, who spoke on "The Scientific Applica- tion of the Principle of the Survival of the Fittest." He began by drawing an illustration to show that if anything which had life—man and animal—lived to maturity, within a hundred years from today there would be no room in this world for them all. The same holds true, said he, with or- ganizations. If all the Negroes who have had a notion of some solution of the Negro problem—if all the Negroes who have attempted to bring about an organization in the world had suc- ceeded there would be scarcely any from Detroit, said: "Position in which the Universal Negro men placed for the sake of this sturgeon current move of the enemy to disown and its leader, I mean the enemy and secretes himself in our bosom of black skin as ourselves, who use this association and who has a brothers against this association to take the government of Liberia right to present to the delegates here delegates attending the Fourth Art of the Negro peoples of the world, the United States, of America for the acts of certain Federal agents who have allowed themselves to be privals of the Universal Negro impugn and impede its efforts in world solution of the Negro problem, and immediately. : "Fellow strugglers, realizing that Congress is based upon the truth improvement Association is bound problem, and recognizing that there are black, who are attempting utilization, I respectfully beg, in the face of the Universal Negro Improvement." In the great gathering and carried ablade. ing to the late hour, he would make it the next day's session of the concert, which, at the evening session.

(Loud and prolonged room for more organizations among Negroes. The law of the survival of the fittest, observed the speaker, was a natural law, and it was the intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to apply it as against the enemies of the association, who seemed determined to crush it. "Referring specifically to the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. Peters said if the N. A. A. C. P. is more fit to survive, then it shall live; if it not then it would have to die." We are here tonight, continued the speaker, "to execute the law of the survival of the fittest by fighting every Negro organization, every business man every politician who has assumed a vicious attitude against the U. N. I. A. and we shall not cease until the truth is told." The law of the survival is a necessity; we must fight in order to live; we must struggle against adversity in order to survive, and if we failed to struggle we would die naturally. He wanted Dr. Du Bois and those of his liko to know that the U. N. L. A. was going to fight them to a standstill; "if they are going to fight us" he declared, "we are going to fight them back because we have got the power to fight back." The N. A. A. C. P., said Dr. Dr. was started some 16 years ago; the U. N. I. A. only recently. We had attempted to do nothing to them, but they have attempted to destroy us. If the success of the U. N. I. A. had created jealousy this organization was not responsible for that, but it would hold itself responsible in seeing to it that the organization was preserved. It was not so much the white people who are fighting the U. N. I. A., but it was the crooked politicians among the race who were far more dangerous, and who could really do more harm than the white man. Those Negroes may be used to offset our aspirations and may be used to destroy us more conveniently than any white man could; therefore, it should be the duty of the U. N. I. A. to find them out, and with the strength that is behind the organization crush them out of existence in order that 'the race may go forward. In conclusion, he admonished his hearers not to be afraid, but just bind their forces together, fight the enemy and execute the law of the survival of the fittest in order that the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be preserved. HON. W. A. WALLACE SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. W. A. Wallace, commissioner for the State of Illinois. He said this was the hour when the U. N. L. A. is calling upon every man and woman, connected with it to stand fast by the principles of the organization; to stand firm in the determination that this great program for the redemption of 400,000,000 Negroes, for the protection, advancement and improvement of Negroes everywhere, is to be carried forward regardless of the obstacles and inconveniences that might surround it. He felt that although we might have enemies on the outside and on the inside, that we should not stop because of them, but that we should become more determined in our hearts to go forward and fight the battle for the freedom and liberty of those with whom we are concerned. Too much sacrifice had already been made to think of stopping now in the putting over of this great program. In the operation of this great program, said he, opposition was bound to come; that was calculated upon in the very beginning, and having been calculated upon, it was their determination to go forward regardless of obstacles which may be met. So tonight they were calling upon every Negro throughout the length and breadth of this country and the world to stand by the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No program that was produced by human beings was perfect; being human they were liable to err, and why, in the name of God, should a few Negroes expect that an organization that is struggling to free the Negro from the bondage that has held them so long should be able to put into execution a perfect program right away. "We are conscious of the fact," said Mr. Wallace, "that mistakes may be made from time to time, but we will use those mistakes as stepping stones to future greatness and will continue to press forward until we shall have achieved the point that we are out to achieve." When we realize that throughout this country and the world Negroes have been handicapped in their advancement, limited in their aspirations and thwarted in their attempts to do the things they want to do for themselves; when we take into consideration that in the United States of America, where they pay as much taxes as other citizens, they get in return only a small portion of what they are entitled to receive; when we look on every hand and see how our people are suffering, there was no compromise for putting into effect the doctrine of the Universal Negro Impervament association the world over, and it is hard to think that in trying to put over this program there should be found men and women who call themselves leaders who are attempting to destroy a movement that means the salvation of this race of ours; that means the protection of this race of ours, that means the advancement of this race of ours, that means everything for this race of ours, that will bring it up out of the darkness and place it into the light of accomplishment as other races in the world have accomplished to their benefit in the world. The man: said Mr. Wallace, who stood forth and said he did not know anything about this movement, with all the furore that it has created in the world, with all the daily papers and great magazines in the United States of America and in Europe talking about Marcus Garvey and the Garvey movement, was not fit to stand in any pulpit, or on any platform, and tell Negroes what they ought to do. With the thousands gathered here tonight, and with the thousands, in Chicago-New Orleans, Detgott, and in the islands of the sex, gathered at the same hour, listening to hear the message that comes from New York. circling around the world, as pertaining to this great race of oura, all we have to do is to stand by, take hold of the Red, the Black and the Green, and go forward, saying that under it we will win victory or die in the attempt. The speaker told a story in which a monkey was accustomed to watch the engineer on a railroad train operate the engine, and one day, while the engineer was away, the monkey, seeing what had been done to put the engine in motion, went through the same operations, with the result that the engine moved on full speed on the track. The engineer heard the bell of the engine ringing and, seeing what had happened, telephoned to the next station to clear the track, for the monkey was on the main line. "What we are telling the world tonight," said Mr. Wallace, "is that Marcus Garvey is at the throttle and the train moving down the line. Clear the track, for the Negro is on the main line." (Applause.) SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL'S ADDRESS Sir William Sherrill spoke aa follows: The Universal Negro Improvement Association that has for the past six years been starting the world and awakening Negroes is not an organization that just happened. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is, by no means an accident. There is behind this organization much thought, much dreaming, much meditation. There is behind this organization much planning and arranging. The great organization that the world sees today the great organization which has been instrumental in raising your hopes to that point where you feel now you have everything to live for, is an organization that has been born of much thought and meditation. It is an organization that has been organized not simply because somebody had an idea, not simply because somebody wanted to organize something, not simply because somebody had an ambition to push forward themselves or aggrandize themselves but an organization born out of the cool calculation of one of the members of the race the organization has come to serve. Having behind it much planning and deliberation and meditation, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is able to present to Negroes a definite program that has been well thought out, a program that has been well planned, a program the leaders of which have taken into calculation every obstacle that may come up in the way, every bend there may be in the road, every mountain we may have to climb, and every river we may be called upon to span. Wanting the Same Thing Always! Wanting the Same Thing Always' The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not repose on a group of Negroes who want one thing in 1920 and then another thing in 1921, and another thing in 1922, and so on. The same thing that Negroes wanted in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1920 they want today. The same thing that they want today they will continue to want until the wants of the Negro of the twentieth century have been satisfied in the establishment of a government of their own where they will realize their ambition of their wants and the ambition of their desires. Now the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene for one particular purpose. It is not an organization that was born for the purpose of fighting she N.A.A.P. This organization was not born for the purpose of fighting the Negro churches and Negro pre-her. The Universal Negative Improvement Association was born for one definite purpose, and that was to better the condition of a down-brodden and distressed race. And to give to black men the opportunity to be taking their place in the world, and giving expression to their own vocal instincts and, there own 1444 ideals. It was born for the purpose of solving in the West Indies the dimmable racial problem; it was here for the purpose of solving in America the racial problem. It was born for the purpose of raising from the backs of black men the burdens that they leth to bear, that they bothe to carrying longer, standing their feet on the them rock of self-government, giving them an opportunity to go forward. Removing the Root of Suffering Those who gave birth to the organization were those who studied the problem of the Negro not only in America, but in the West Indies; they had studied the problem of the Negro in Europe, they had studied the problem of the Negro in Africa. They had found out there was one fundamental cause for Negro suffering and Negro oppression. They had found out that Negro suffered not only in America, but Negroes suffered wherever they happened to be domiciled and wherever they came in contact with the other fellow, and the conclusion was reached that the reason why this black man suffers in not that his skin is black and his hair woolly, the reason why this black man suffers is because he is living in a material age and he finds himself weak, ignorant and unorganized, being unable to protect himself so a race; that the majority group wherever the Negro will become part and parcel of that group; that as long as the Negro, whether in Africa, Europe or America, accepts a certain position that the ma- Are you looking WEBQUEST?

Only One Objective If Africa Went I see nothing wrong with the program but the countries that control Africa have been working earnestly and globally to see to it that the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not spread its propaganda in Africa. Europe today is a backdrop if Africa were to work in Africa beneath the Atlantic and the Pacific. Europe tomorrow morning would be dominant. It is upon Africa that England is depending; it is upon Africa that France is depending that Italy and Belgium and Portugal are depending in order to build up her hands. Europe has gone M. K. W.

Her population is increasing, and Europe finds it necessary to lay hands on some virgin country to resuscitate her exhausted treasures, to rebuild her towns and cities, and she looks to Africa. Europe is dependent upon our home for a livelihood. England has therefore, started a very uffful fight against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in many of her territories not even allowing the Negro World to go in because the Negro World carries "dangerous propaganda." "Dangerous Propeganda" Dangerous Propaganda Any propaganda that tells black men that the time has come to redeem the continent for themselves is dangerous propaganda France has been equally busy in seeing to it that the Universal Negro Improvement Association spread not its propaganda in the French Colonial possessions. The countries of Europe have been anxious to spend large sums of money to see it that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes little or no progress in that great continent. We would expect opposition from England; we would expect opposition from France. England is only trying to protect the country that is hers. England is only trying to preserve the civilization that she loves. England is only trying to perpetuate English ideals and to see it to that English posterity will always enjoy a plague in the sun, and will be able to hand down to her children a rich heritage. Why They Oppose We can see why England would fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We can see why Europe would oppose the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—France today, whose birth rate is below her death rate, is struggling in order that she may live. France today being surrounded by enemies on all sides who are waiting for the next chance to take back land that France has stolen from them is anxious at all times to safeguard and preserve the independence of the intelligents and the progress of France. We can see why France would oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Millions of dollars from Africa in law materials are ammunition are turned into the coffees of France and the coffers of England. But the Universal has set its eye on the good, and if it is determined to fight, We were not organize to fight the white man. the brown man or the yellow man we have caught a vision and we have started out to redeem Africa for the black man, and whatever happens whatever obstacle arises in the path of seven million Negroes of the universal Negro Improvement Association on the road toward the realization of its ambition we are prepared to destroy it tooth and nail. (Applause.) Sometimes it is necessary to tear down in order to build up. Sometimes you prop an old building up on one side and a little later you try to tear the old building up by patching and propping, and then you realize you must tear it down and rebuild. Race's Fortunes Lie with U. N. L. A. There is in this country a group of Negroes who from the moment this organization came into being have set themselves as stumbling blocks in its way. Suppose they succeeded in destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association, what does it mean, to these Negroes? What does it profit the race? If the Negroes who are trying to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association succeeded, their success means France's success, their success means England's success, their success means the success of the very agency that is trying to keep the Negro down. What does it profit these Negroes to place obstacles in the way of the organization so that it will not be able to carry out in Africa its great program of industrial and commercial development? What will they gain? Now, those of you who don't belong to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, let me say to you, whatever benefits the Negro in the organization benefits the Negro on the outside. And the thing outs both ways. Whatever hell the Negro in the organization gets the Negro on the outside gets the same. The successful putting over of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should be a vital concern if Judithy Inspires Do you know the basis, culture, and opposition the U. N. L. A. has encountered has been founded upon the jealousy of the near-sighted leaders who for 25 or 30 years have been trying to lead the race and never had brains enough to strike upon a real program? At the base of all Marcus Garvey's persecution is jealousy. How dare Marcus Garvey, say some of these follows, come from the West Indian islands to tell us Americans how to reform the race? Let me tell you, I am an American Negro, born under this Southern psychology. And let me repeat something that I have said before. Whether Marcus Garvey had (Continued on page 13) re again, following fast upon the death of Sir Robert Lincoln Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement relation, death has claimed another devoted member of the station. Sir John Edward Bruce, Knight, Commander of the sir of the Nile, and long Contributing Editor of The Negro sir died at Bellevue Hospital, in New York City, Thursday, at 7, at 3:15 p. m., in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He buried from Liberty Hall, in New York City, Sunday, August at 1 p. m., under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improve- t Association and with Masonic honors. Subjects concerning the life and work of Sir Edward, incorporated in the following sketch, were furnished by Prof. John W. Cromwell of Washington, D. C., Mr. Arthur Schomberg of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the editor of The Negro World: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH John Edward Bruce was born of the parents at Piscataqua, Md., Feb- ruary 22, 1856. It was at a critical period in those movements which aff- ected so largely the status and the purpose of his race. The lad's mother, when the fame of John Brown was expanding throughout the land, resting under the galling yoke of bondage, became a fugitive. Instead of following the North Star she came to the Distri- tion of Columbia, in which she found male hiding from her pursuers. She did not need long to continue the pre- vention that shielded her and her boy from the oppressor, for the contending fleece of human liberty and slavery race in battle array, and the latter. April 16, 1862. succumbed to the hosta- s of freedom. With the dawn of freedom came equation. The National capital was not only a military, camp, but a school of instruction in which thousands of ducky faces, from six to sixty years, were found eagerly pouring from early morn to dewy eve over the "blue back speller," and the "Freeman's Primer." Public schools for the Negro, begun in the District about 1864, were, prior to that date, conducted under the surpises of the Freeman's Aid Societies of the North, and later by the Freedman's Bureau. Young Bruce attended these, but before they had developed to any degree of efficiency he had to leave school to go to work. He had, however, lightened his torch, and an irresistible desire early in the seventies led him to write for the newspapers. It was his employment in the office of the Washington correspondent of the New York Times that gave him the opportunity to see and observe the ways and methods of newspaper men and that caused the fires that had smothered within him to glow, and the purpose to be a newspaper correspondent to become a ruling passion. Whenever and wherever he could induce the publication of any of his fugitive letters they appeared; but R was no uphill work to secure their publication, for there was individuality and merit about them that was rare for one of his years. In 1857 Mr. Bruce entered upon the journalistic sea in his own craft, founding, "The Argus," a weekly paper, in Washington. It flourished only for a while. In his malden effort at proprietorship, he was associated with that brilliant winter, Charles N. Otey, of Raleigh, N. C. Three years later Mr. Bruce became editor of "The Sunday Item," which soon was a terror to evildoers, who vainly sought to intimidate him, first by threats, then by a criminal prosecution. The effort miscarried. Mr. Bruce became stronger as a consequence, and when he published "Grit" in 1854 its popularity was found showed. So strongly marked were its contents by fearlessness of expression that the term "Grit" became hereforth linked with his name and the subsequent "Bruce Grit." It was him.

Two years before the appearance of "Grit". Mr. Bruce led a forlorn hope in "The Republican" at Portsmouth, Va., when the political "straight-outs" and "readjusters" were joined in their last combat. In 1856, Mr. Bruce ran up the standard of "the commonwealth" at Baltimore; eleven years later, in 1897 in collaboration with Charles W. Anderson, he published and edited the Chronicle in New York City. For five years, ending in 1901, he was associate editor of "Howard's American Magazine," which is the pioneer of our modern attempts at magazine making. During all of these years Mr. Bruce was a constant contributor to such papers of the Afro-American Press, the St. Louis World, Indianapolis World Petersburg (Va.) Herald; Virginia (Richmond) Staff-Chicago Conservator, Florida Starinel, North Carolina Enterprise, Star of Zion, Charlotte N. C. and Black and White, Valdaosta, Ga.; New York Freeman and New York Age, Voice of Missions, New York; Elevator, California; Denver (Colorado) Statesman; the Colored American, Kansas City Call and Omaha Monitor. He was editor of the Masonic Quarterly-Review, New York, and contributing editor to The Negro World. Mr. Bruce did not restrict himself to the United States, but occasionally contributed to the New Age of London, England, the West African Lagon Record, South African Spectator of Capetown, and the Jamaica Advocate of Kingston, Jamaica, the African Times and Orient Review of London. His journalistic ability has also been recognized by the New York press, Buffalo Express, Boston Transcript, New York Times, New York Herald, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Washington Evening Star, and other well-known papers. Mr Bruce was president of the Negro Society for Historical Research, and a member of many other societies, among them the Stylus-Club, of Howard University; Society International, the Philology Science at Beaux Arts African Society, London; Negro Academy, Washington, D.C., and Knight of the Order of African Redemption, Liberia, Africa. He was appointed a Commissioner of the Tennessee Exposition in 1897 by Governor Morton, and was elected as delegate by Westchester county to serve at the Caratoga conference which renominated Charles F. Hughes for governor Mr Bruce is author of many tracts, the more important being "The Biography of Emigrant Negroes" "The Blood Red Record," "A Tribute to the Negro Soldier." Mr. Bruce has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Lucy Pinwood, a contralto vocalist, of recognized merit, at Washington. The woman, who has presided over his domestic fireside in recent years, was Miss F. Adelahde Bishop of Cleveland, O., who has been of great assistance to him in his literary work. He was a member of the A.M. E. Zion connection, and a great friend of the late Bishop Walters. THE FUNERAL Impressive funeral rates were performed over the remains of Sir John Edward Bruce at Liberty Hall, 138th Street, New York City, Sunday, at 1 p.m. They were of a threefold nature. Rev. Charles Martin of the Moravian Church, where Sir John worshipped, conducting the first part of the exercises. Rev. G. Eimonen Carter, secretary-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, conducting the second, while the concluding ceremony was in the hands of the Prince Hall Masonic body. Shortly after 1 p.m. the cortege progged from the undertaking parlor of Duncan Bros. corner of 135th street and seventh avenue, along Seventh avenue to Liberty Hall, where it was met by the officiating clergy, units of the New York Division and the Universal Choir. The case, it reposed in the center of the hall in front of the platform. A solemn service followed, in the course of which Rev. Martin and Rev. Carter and Sir William Sheriff, second assistant president-general of the U. N. I. A., delivered eulogies. Beethoven's funeral march, a favorite of the deceased, was played by Prof. Weeks, and several favorite hymns and solos were also rendered. Hon Marcus Garvey, president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, addressing the gathering, which was representative of all classes and creeds in Harlem, said: We are about to lay to rest another stalwart son of Africa, Sir John E. Bruce. He has known us in this association as a counselor, friend, brother and father. For several years he mentioned himself with this movement, and through his pen helped to shape and to form public opinion in the face of 14 THE LATE SIR JOHN E. BRUCE, K.C.O.M. Who Left an Enviable Record of Service to His Race organization. The success of our organization demonstrates how splendidly he did his work. graphs were gathered by and American Negroes into relation with African Mr. Bruce was known to this organization throughout the world as one of the highest knights, as one of its most leaders. Every meeting of this association brings us closer to the character that we are about to lower into the grave this afternoon. At all our meetings all over, the world we open with a prayer he dedicated to this association and which I believe will ever be read by our members and by the association throughout the world and for all time. I am going to ask you to stand and repeat with me this prayer: Prayer for Opening of Meeting Dedicated to the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World By John E. Bruce-Grit Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.—Zach. 4 v. Stand with us in our struggles for The triumph of the right. And spread confusion ever o'er The advocates of might. And let them know that righteousness Is mighter than sin. That might is only selfishness And can not ought not, win. Endow us, Lord, with faith and grace And courage to endure. The wrongs we suffer here apace. And bless us evermore. Resolutions, indicating the very high regard in which the deceased was held and conveying condolence to his devoted wife, were presented by the following: The Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, the Negro Society for Historical Research, the American Negro Academy, the Negro World Editorial Staff, the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, the Secretary-General's office, U. N. I. A. headquarters, the New York Division and various auxiliaries. The resolutions of the association were as follows: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in His divine wisdom to remove from a life of usefulness and real activity for racial uplift, Sir John E. Bruce; and Whereas, In this removal his wife, relatives, friends and race sustain an irreparable loss through his demise; be it, therefore. Resolved. That the sacred memory of Sir John Edward Bruce be perpetuated in glorious deeds of accomplishments, to the honor and interest of 400,000,000 black men, women and children without subordination of things of the soul, evincing at all times the courage and sincerity, as was evident in the service of the deceased to his race during life. That we extend to the wife, relatives and friends of the family our sympathies, and command them to the care and keeping of his unfalling love. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and a copy be spread upon the face of our minutes. Respectfully submitted. The following resolutions from the Negro Society for Historical Research were read by Mr. Arthur Schomberg: The members of the Negro Society for Historical Research deeply regret the passing of John E. Bruce, its president, and extend their sympathy to his heroic wife. Having made a brilliant record as a writer for both the white and colored press, and having earned the nom de plume "Bruce Griff" by his fearless articles and editorials Mr. Bruce began a score of years ago, to get in touch with noted men of African descent in the West Indies, India and Africa. The result of that interest resulted in the formation of the Negro Society for Historical Research, which numbered among its members the most distinguished scholars of the Negro race, in different parts of the world. graphs were gathered by the society and American Negroes were brought into relation with African and West Indian Negroes. This society was the first to force the public to recognize the black man's part in developing Ethiopian and Egyptian civilization and to teach black men that they had a history of which they could well be proud. Mr. Bruce's homes on Sunnyalpine Farm and Warburton avenue, Yonkers, N. X., became Meccas for struggling authors and for scholars from across the seas. Those who attended the reception in honor of the Liberian Legation in the summer of 1908 will ever remember the memorable gathering. The judicial mind, the police, dignity and manliness of Mr. Bruce, and the gracious hospitality of Mrs. Bruce can never be forgotten. And now having rounded out his three score years and ten, having served his God, his country and his race for nearly half a century as a writer, the noted scholar and historian has ended his earthly career and entered the realm where the spirit of man, unfettered by bodily limitations, by the limitations of time and space, communes with the Father of Spirits. He has left these terrestrial shores; but the influence of his personality, life and works will live. His physical organism has gone the way of all physical organisms; but the immortal soul enshrined in that organism will live forever. So we say: "Good-bye, John; good-bye, John. We trust that the talents and character nurtured here will find an ampler field of exercise over there." The following resolutions from the American Negro Academy were read by Mr. Arthur Schomberg; The members of the American Negro Academy express their regret for the passing of John E. Bruce and their sympathy and appreciation for his noble and self-sacrifice wife, whose care and devotion prolonged his life and cheered his last days. The American Negro Academy was founded by that prince, priest, prophet and scholar, Rev. Dr. Alexander Crummell, in Washington, D.C., in March, 1897. Dr. Crummell believed in encouraging aspiring Negro scholars, in teaching black men to aspire after the highest things in modern civilization and in teaching black men to believe in the possibilities of their race and to respect their women. He stepped from time to eternity in September, 1895, but his mantle fell upon and his spirit descended upon John E. Bruce, who throughout his life implicated pride of race and manliness in his ebony-hued brethren. With hardly even a grammar school education, John E. Bruce improved his leisure time and associated with those from whom he could learn something. Before he was thirty he had become fairly well read and, had developed into a writer with a keen wit, a terse and trenchant style, and by the time he reached the half century mark he had become a remarkably, well-read and well-informed man, the master of an epigrammatic style of writing, characterized by striking phrases and staccato sentences. He was ever learning and ever growing and at the time of his death was one of the most erudite scholars of his race. His career itself is a noble illustration of the possibilities of a race whose lease he so mindfully championed. He will live in the memories of the American Negro Academy as a grand old man and a princely soul. Jacksonville Gives Bishop Brooks $1,000 Bishop W. Sampon Brooks, A. M. E. Bishop of the West Coast of Africa, has been visiting Bishop Hurst in the State of Florida, and is meeting with wonderful success in his $10,000 drive for his West African work. Mr. Zion A. M.

He also made an appeal to the ministers attending the summer seminar at Edward Water College, and received a good re- From the New York "World" PARIS, July 29 - Determined efforts to unify differing religions have changed the face of Asia, according to Prof. Osmanowski, author of a recent book on exploration and adventure in Siberia and Thibet. Two years of solitary wandering from one end of Asia to the other, including Thibet, Mongolia and Manchuria, and close study of the political situation everywhere, convinced the author that the inhabitants of the whole country have been stirred by the breath of emancipation and liberty that swept from the Pacific Ocean to the Persian Gulf. The present movement is vastly different from that after the Russo-Japanese war, Prof. Ossandowski says. At that time Japan was looked upon as the regenerator and savior of the Asiatic races. The Asiatics told Ossendowski that movement failed because the Japs were like the whites—started out to be conquerors and not guides. Now, it appears, the high priests and leaders of Buddhism, Brahminism, Confucianism and Mohammedanism are united in preaching to the faithful the union of all Asiatic peoples and the end of religious dissensions that hitherto have kept them apart. Prof. Ossendowski relates that whereas one formerly would hear remarks like, "He is an enemy, he worships a false god," the Asiatic are now taught by their priests: "No matter what gods you worship, you are before all, brothers; you must love one another and give mutual aid." Only a leader is lacking now to weld Asia into one formidable bloc in world affairs. Soviet Russia is trying to be that leader. Edward Waters College Gets a New President JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—The trustees of Edward Waters College, conducted by the A. M. E. Church of this State, have just elected Prof. A. B.

By order --- P PARENT BODY U. N. I. A. An accounting of the estate of the late Margaret Olivia Sage, widow of Russell Sage, filed repeatedly in the Surrogate's Court, shows that since the last accounting was filed by the executors in December, 1929, there has been distributed a balance of $13,544,407 among thirty-ax institutions. Since the last accounting the executors made payments to the institutions, left legacies by the will of Mrs. Sage, as follows: $1,630,000 to the Russell Sage Foundation, $605,000 to the American Bible Society, $300,000 to the Troy Female Seminary, $260,000 to the Troy Polytechnic Institute, $200,000 to Princeton University and $239,000 to Yale University. To each of the following institutions was paid $236,000: Hampton Institute, State Charities Ald Society, Presbyterian Hospital, New York Infirmary for Women and Children, Tunkegee, Normal and Industrial Institute, Wellesley, Smith, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Hamilton, Unibn, Earnard, Dartmouth, Williams and Amhest College, New York University, Children's Ald Society, New York Public Library, New York Zoological Society and New York Botanical Gardens. Syracuse University received $474,000, while $472,000 was distributed among the following: American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Charity Organization of the City of New York, Presbyterian Board for Relief of Disabled Clergymen, New York City Mission Society, Board of Home Missions of the Prebysterian Church and Women's Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. The accounting after stating that $2,075,517 has been paid to general legacies in settlement of balances due on legacies left them by Mrs. Sage resumes that since the last accounting in 1920 there has been a decrease of $1,360,000 in the value of certain securities of the estate. The executors state they now have on hand a balance of $3,446,061 consisting of stocks and bonds, and real estate valued at $71,500. This balance, they state is ready for distribution at the direction of the court. Colonel Joseph J. Slocum, Mire Sangel's brother, was left $8,000,000 under her will. rtant N TO ALL , DIVISIONS, CHAPT BRANCHES OF THE NEGRO IMPROVEMENT NATION IN AMERICA come to return to head petitions to be forward Meet at Wilmington, N.

(From the Basseterre Messenger) With the termination of the 1924 crop at the Basseterre sugar factory and the gradual return of many of our laboring people from Santo Domingo, we are faced with the problem of employment. There is only one source which will absorb a goodly portion of the present inbor supply, and that source is the railway extension work which, we understand, is to be undertaken by the factory. If, however, the extension work was permanently recurrent, the question of unemployment would not be as acute; and, hence, it becomes an obligation by necessity laid on every responsible individual to consider what is to be done to provide work for the many who will be forced to remain in partial idleness until February, 1925, about which time the next reaping season will commence. It is true that the growing plans will require care, but this work needs only the minimum of labor and at a minimum wage. The governmental restrictions to be placed on persons of the laboring class emigrating brings us immediately to the declaration that the responsibility of making it possible for these very people to be profitably employed at home should be borne by the government. It goes without saying that the presidency is not overpopulated, and, if in the face of this fact, emigration is still a necessity, we cannot avoid the conclusion that there is neglect, and accumulated neglect, somewhere. The acuteness of the position is accelerated by the action of the United States Immigration Authority in applying their Immigration Law to the West Indies, thereby making it increasingly difficult and expensive for those who will fill the "immigration quota" to travel thither. We take it that it is now necessary for every intended immigrant from these parts to the United States to visit in person the office of the United States consul at Bridgetown, Barbados, for the purpose of having his passport vised by that official. It hardly needs a statement from us to enable our readers to understand what this will mean to an intended immigrant from Tortola, Anguilla or even St. Kitts. It amounts to this: that fewer and fewer of our people will be able to travel abroad, and in consequence will be forced to remain at home. That agriculture is one of the most independent industries no one will, we are sure, attempt to dispute. That these islands, in particular, lead themselves largely to agricultural pursuits is likewise well established. In one of our previous impressions of this paper we recommended a land allotment scheme as one in which the local authorities would be using their good offices to help the people and, at the same time, placing the islands on a permanent basis for future property. Ere we can ever hope that conditions generally will change for the better an opportunity should be provided whereby the laboring people may emancipate themselves from the present system of industrial serfdom. Not only will the system be broken up, but it will in time be abolished, to the general good of all sections, creeds and classes. In this, rapidly advancing age, this presidency can hardly expect to keep pace with the rest of the world if the responsible element of its inhabitants refuse or neglect to countenance the very ideas which have made other countries and peoples prosperous and contented. The time has reached our very threshold, when we should give careful thinking to suggestions having for their object the gradual emancipation of our working class without at the same time jeopardizing the general welfare of the communities. X GRAVE TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE IN ALABAMA COURT Brutal Policeman Assaults Two Women, Murdering One—The Other Is Fined —Slayer Is Exonerated in Court As time goes on and men become more enlightened, race problems and race conditions become more intense and grievous. Where an individual race or an individual himself ceases to have the protection of the law of his State and yet called free men, that race or that individual of all races and individuals is the most hilarious. However much we plaster over and make excuses for this and for that, the fact still stares in the face that we do not have the protection of the law; we do not have public sentiment in our favor as a race, and the little comfort that we now enjoy is uncertain and may be wiped away by the ill desires of any person of the opposing group. Would we counsel carefulness in a matter of this kind? We would; and we do. We ask for the exercise of patience and manhood on the part of our own people and to continue our appeals to that remnant of friends who respect the law of the land and who regard all races of humanity as God's creation and entitled to the protection of the law which they are taxed to support and do support. There can be no question in the minds of the citizens of Birmingham who will take a moment to think but that there is a well laid plan to discourage and intimate the Negro people of this community. Many incidents will prove this feelug, and some of the foulest known in the annals of history against any race group. There is no disposition to criticize the opinion of our courts in matters affecting the Negro in this community when his interest is to be protected against that of some white person who has violated the law or otherwise. We are emphasizing that fact that no man should be free who is a violator of the law because he is white and none should be punished merely because he is black. A few weeks ago a police officer had a difficulty with two colored women in a white neighborhood, in the back-ard of an aristocratic white family. The character of the women as expressed by white people was good. The officer, at least, had been under charges before for what is styled as a similar difficulty with a Negro-man. He shot the two women; one of them died from a pistol wound in the head, while the other was able to appear at the court and testify against his conduct. The officer was acquitted and the woman who was able to appear at court was fined $55. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. She says she did not resist the officer. When he appeared at the home of these colored women they were busily engaged at work, and that he, the officer, provoked the discussion which finally brought on the assault. One of the women is dead, the officer is on the police force, free from all charges, and he is understood that at the time of the shooting he was not on duty, but was on vacation. It seems that his duty would have been, the colored women were disturbing the peace of the community, to first give notice to Mgs. Dozier, on whose premises the women were, and a regularly engaged officer on that he called to spell whatever disorderly conduct might have been carried on by the girls. But they were only Negroes and that in itself means that there need not be any special rule of approaching him or killing them. This set of injustice is an outrage upon the entire citizenship of our great community. Certainly the court had to rule according to the evidence before it, but our position in this community would have been more secure had the evidence been brought under the purview of the court; and in cases so outragous as this the color line should have been stricken and each of the parties meet the fate of MAKE MONEY Big Profita to Agents New Catalogue Ready Premium, 5 and 10 cent goods, varieties, bazaars and fair goods. Also colored dolls, pictures, post cards and calendars. A fine line of Christmas goods. their crimes according to the law involving murder and the carrying of controlled weapons. Pray all we want, sing all we may, but until we have the car of the court and the sympathy of those who love justice, we will lose. We are moving, but backward. We cannot be respected and we will not be considered until we protest in a becoming way all these ill-practices and inhuman attitudes helped upon our race members. We cannot conclude that there are not white men in this community who will, protect any man who defends the life and character of a woman, who oppose any man who destroys the life and character of a woman. We can but believe that this particular case is an expression of weakness and docility on the part of the black people and a lack of genuine interest on the part of those white people who love justice and fair play. Such intimidations and discouragements can but breed evil tendencies and disregard and disrespect for the things that we should love, cherish and obey. These tendencies to intimidate and discourage black people can be of no final good to any people. The spirit for law must be right on the part of the makers or the law in time will prove a charge against those who misuse it, and especially to those who disregard it.

CLAIM BANTUS FELLED PREMIER JAN C. SMUTS Natives Denounce Practices of White Christians Who Have in South African Union 3,000 Mulattoes Three weeks or so ago all the Bantu organizations gathered together at Bloemfontein to discuss matters affecting the black people of the world; that the time has come for changing government. It was sanctioned that the present government must go, and it has gone. It said, never to come back. Now we have a new Prime Minister, General Hertzog, through the Bantu Initiative. In the same way of determination we can have Africa redeemed. In the same way we can have the Red, the Black and the Green floating on the beautiful mountains in Africa. In the same way we can build a metropolis in Africa with a solemn resolve that the God of Right will our battles fight, with a little prayer and more work. Without the Universal Negro Improvement Association we can do nothing—emphatically nothing. Marcus Garvey, the indomitable leader has provided a legacy for our children yet unborn, that no Christian or Christians, no statesmen, no wise men can take away from them. Understand that. With one blood God created all nations to dwell on the face of the earth; therefore, each individual has a special duty to himself or herself. No man in the whole world can make you to be what you yourself don't want to be; therefore you have plenipotentiary authority to stand fact in the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the work that has now begun in Liberia. All plenipotentiaryism should be with one accord. Mr. Clementa Kadalle, the general secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union, in a mass meeting, said we allow the white man to come in our motherland with the understanding that he came to teach us the Gospel. Instead of that he has given us 3,000 multitudes and his days are numbered. Prof. James Tharle, in addition, said the white man must cease fooling. Bishop Parks Snr. Bishop Of the A. M. E. Church With the death of Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop W. H. Parks becomes automatically the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church—that is, senior in active service. Bishop R. B. Lee is the bishop longest in office, having been elected in 1592. As senior bishop, Bishop Parks thus becomes the ranking bishop of 7,000 ministers, who are pastors of 7,500 churches with a membership and following of nearly 800,000 people, and will preside over all the meetings of the Bishops' Council. Bishop Henry Blanton Parks was born in Georgia and educated in Atlanta University. He was missionary secretary from 1896 to 1908, and elected bishop in 1908. Was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in 1911; and served as president of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church. Was bishop over Alabama and Tennessee, served four quadrenniums over the Fifth District, and is now serving his first quadrennium over the 18th District comprising California, Washington; Oregon and Oklahoma. sphis, Teno, discogera & medicine worth EMLLARM, and has named it INDIAN KIDNEY AND ER.

The local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association received a great flip through the visit of two representatives from the association's headquarters in New York. These were Miss Henrietta Britton Davis, Fourth Assistant President General and one of the directors of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and who formed one of the delegation, headed by the late Mr. Robert Poston, which visited Liberia last December in the interest of the Negro race, under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. The other visitor was Mr. Samuel A. Haynes, who is the special agent of the new steamship company. Mr. Haynes is a native of British Honduras and served with the British West Indian Regiment in Egypt and Mesopotamia. A forceful speaker, Mr. Haynes, in the Ward Theatre on Sunday night told of the new company that is going to "carry on where the Black Star Line left off." The funds are to be raised through loans from members, and a great difference between this and the former company will be that the director of the Black Cross Company will be liable to dismissal just like any other official. It was not so in the case of the Black Star Line. Both Mr. Haynes and Miss Davis emphasized the fact that the N. U. L.A. is stronger today than ever in its history. Miss Davis told of her recent visit to Liberia, and evoked cheers from the audience by asserting that Africa rather than being "darkest" is the "brightest Africa." At Liberty Hall last Saturday night a reception was given to the visitors. The arrangement reflects great credit on Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Allen, Dr Bruce Forbes, local executive secretary, was the organizing head. Rev. S. M. Jones presided as chair- man, and welcomed the visitors. man, and welcomed the visitors. Mr. I. C. Frazer made the toast to the President-General, the "greatest man alive." Mr. Haynes replied by boosting Marcel Garvey. This toast was drunk after the Ethiopian National Anthem was sung. Dr. Forbes toasted Miss Davis and her associate. In her reply Miss Davis pointed to U. N. I. A. Ideals and told how the movement was going and growing. Mr. Jones gave the toast to the slamicala Division; Mr. P. Auken the Press, Mr. T. S. Phillips of the Slamicala Times replying. The toast for "our visitors" was moved by J. T. Allen There was a mass meeting at Liberty Hall on Monday night, when Miss Davis gave another routing address. Memorial Tablet for Distinguished Negroes As a part of the Sequester Centennial Exposition celebrating the 160th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence to be held in Philadelphia in 1925, a memorial tablet will be created. On this tablet will be the names of Leading Negroes who have contributed something substantial to the growth of our country since its founding. This flat will be headed by Richard Allen, founder of the African Methodist Church; Absalom Jones, James Barrett, Lotz Carney, John Lefeble and others who contributed to the founding of the Negro church, Frederick Douglas, John M. Langton, B. K. Bruce, Hiam Revela and others in the political field; Phelila Wheatley, Brent Lawrence Dunbar and others in the Literary field. The list will also contain the business men, artists, famous women and others. This list will be presented to the Sequester Centennial committee for final approval. Rev. H. P. Anderson, pastor of Bethel Church, who is chairman of the committee getting out the tablet, is asking for nominations of the great men of the race in order that the tablet may represent the best regards of denomination or section of the country that the Negro has produced as it will stand for all time as a monument in the City of Brotherly Love. Henry O. Tanner, the most famous Negro artist and the son of Bishop Tanner the African Methodist Episcopal Church, will model the panel for the tablet, which will be cast in bronze the cost of which will be about $10,000, which will be borne by the church as its contribution to the race.

BY CASPER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Council If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Naval Government of the Virgin Islands has recently paid to the Virgin Islanders on this side the highest compliment in its power. A little more than a year ago the Virgin Islands Congressional Council of New York created a child of its brain the educational committee, comprised of members from the various Virgin Islands Societies of New York. The joint educational committee raised funds to be used in bringing from time to time deserving students from the islands' for more efficient and liberal education in the States. The committee picked out Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va., as the first school for the new experiment, and several of their young men are at this moment, studying there. Among these young men is a student sent for by the educational committee whose expenses, board and tuition are being paid for by the educational committee of the Virginia Islands societies. The idea back of the committee's action was the very profound one that wherever a colored group is under control by a white group the education given it by the white group will always be enough for the needs of the white group, but never enough for the needs and interests of the colored group which will always require under subcircumstances. A supplementary education independent of the other. The educational committee has spared no pain to enlist the co-operation of Virgin Islanders in its prideworthy undertaking. It has given dances and other entertainments, and held many meetings to raise funds for the work which it saw long ago to be necessary. And at this point the Naval Government of the Virgin Islands butts it had no thought of any educational needs of Virgin Islanders that might be served at Hampton until the Virgin Islanders in New York whom it affects to despise, showed it the way. The Naval Government recently approved the authorities at Hampton Institute to seek placement for a number of Virgin Island youth each year under Naval government auspices. Whereas, the colored educational committee pays spot each for its students the white naval government wants to put in its students as chaperones students, the institute to stand the expenses which would make the students' wards of Hampton So far. Virgin Islanders have shown no exigencies for charity of that sort, and many are wondering as to the hidden reasons for this under-handed move on the part of the Virgin island's authorities. The grounds for suspicion are obvious enough to anyone who is acquainted with the past history of the "cracker" in the Caribbean. Our eyes on this side are wide open. We suspect that the folks on the islands have not yet been advised by their insular authorities of this move "in their behalf." There still remains one workable method by which the Naval Government may co-operate in the extension work which the educational committee is carrying on at Hampton. That is by having the municipal or national authorities appropriate funds out of which a number of students from the islands might be maintained each year. Recently, an unfortunate circumstance occurred in the death of one of our most able boys, one of Hampton's most brilliant students, who died. The educational committee saw to it that the remains of this youth were buried honorably. Under the pending circumstances, Virgin Islanders are asking of the government in the islands, should one of their charity wards meet an unexpected death, as one of our wards did, what, then? Has the government made any provisions for the burial of the students? Will the Naval Government come out in the clear and make known its object to Virgin islands? In other words, if the Naval Government wants to follow in our footsteps let it pay its way, as we are paying ours. Hampton is not for charity students. NECESSITY OF RACE UNION AND CONCERTED ACTION Dishonesty and Selfishness Must Be Weeded Out— The Race Needs Are Great and Urgent From the Louisville Leader WE MUST ACT. Our salvation as a people depends on action. We have been dilly-dilly-dilly, theorizing, temporizing, passing lengthy high-phrased resolutions organizing as if we were going to move heaven and earth and disbanding, without having done a single constructive thing, begging and imploring, resorting to prayer, waiting and hoping, advising ourselves to stand still and see the salvation. Surely we have done nothing but the right thing. It is not time to despair, but it is high time to discard old ways and ineffective methods. It is time to act it is time to do. WE MUST HANG TOGETHER. If we solve our own problem by division and autocratic action, by inter-group trade by lethargy and inactivity on account of personal egoism and ambition, we shall accomplish something that no other people who have succeeded have done. In many there is strength to be no lie. All history has proved the truth of it. And "A house divided against itself cannot stand" will be as true our case as it has unnerlying been in the history of other groups and peoples. Unity in ideas, in purpose, in actions means life for he. WE MUST DROP ALL SEEKING. The interests of the race are greater than the interests of any one member of the race. There is a better way to promote individual welfare than to promote the welfare of the race as a whole. There is an better way to wreck any project that has for its object the improvement of the condition of our people than to have connected with the effort a number of self-seeking Negroes—Negroes who do not give a rap for the big object of the movement, but go to work at once to see what they can get out of it themselves—Negroes who are constantly on the lookout for a more money, pittance, or a short-lived mental job, or a "pull" with the white folks, or the name of "race leaders" in their communities. Good Lord, deliver us frock the self-seekers. They are millennials about our necks. THIS ADVICE MAY FALL ON DEAF EARS. It is not now. Race men and women, with good intentions and race papers with sincere motives have been dining this advice into the ears of the race for a long, long time. It is sound, wholesome advice, and should not fall on deaf ears. It must be heeded sooner or later—or we perish. MEANWHILE WE MUST BE LAW-ABIDING. While we contend for the protection of the law, we must obey the law. Obedience to law is right, and however tremendous our problem, however difficult our contest for the rights and immutities due us as human beings and as citizens, we must not do wrong. To lose faith in the ultimate triumph of right is the very last thing we should do. Truth forever will the scaffold, wrong forever, on the throne—that scaffold awaits the future, and that you can hold always the future, and behind the dim unknown. behind the dim unknown, Standone God within the shadow, keep YOU POOR KID, WHY ARE YOU SO SKINNY?

The Negro Is Awake and Is Determined to Make His Presence Felt; Shall Combine to Cry Until Africa Is Redeemed—Lady Delegate from Chicago, Affirming Her Loyalty, Enthuses Gathering—Unborn Generations Will Be Proud of U. N. I. A. SUNDAY AFTERNOON MEETING criticise him, one attempted to criticise him that very day on the rea- LIBERTY HALL. New York. Sunday Afternoon, Aug. 10.—A mass meeting held at 8:20 o'clock was well attended in spite of the fact that most of the audience had been present in the hall participating for two hours in the funeral services of the late Sir John E. Bruce. They nevertheless remained throughout the meeting and listened with enthusiasm to the speakers (most of them delegates to the Convention) express their views in regard to the Universal Improvement Association. Hon. William L. Sherrill Assistant President General, in the absence of Hon. Marcus Garvey, conducted the meeting and in welcoming the audience commended them for their attendance in such large numbers despite the heat and the length of the services in which they had just taken part. A short musical program was then rendered by the band, the U. N. I. A. choir and a few soloists, after which the speechmaking began. In a very eloquent speech, the Chairman introduced Hon. S. R. Rivest, President of the West Chicago Division, whom he stated had done very effective work for the U. N. I. A. in the divisions. When East St. Louis was torn by faction and they needed a man who understood diplomacy, tact and ability in order to be order out of chaos, that officer was sent to straighten out the St. Louis division, and he not only succeeded, but he built up a gigantic organization for the Association. He had hardly rested from his labors when another division got into trouble, the West Chicago Factional fights began to develop; the division had dwindled in numbers and there was a fear that the division would be lost. Again the mind of the executive went back to this man and he was sent down there in the midst of the fights, bickering and misunderstandings. He again restored order out of chaos and built up a strong division for the Association. There were in the U. N. I. A. scores of earnest, consecrated, efficient, stalwart men and women who are fighting wailantly for the program of the Association who do as much for it as the members, of the Executive Council. He desired the members to be rightly appreciative of that fact and of every man who consecrates his life and his service to the work. HON WHEAT'S ADDRESS West Chicago Division, said he had to express his deep gratitude for the pleasure which and been given him to speak at Library Hall, New York. He had heard many speeches during the past week and after listening to them he had been impressed by the fact—which reminded him of a story he had once heard—that if Chicago didn't widen out it would be a goner. In 1917 he said the hopes of the Negroes in this country had been balanced in consequence of the dictum of the then elected President, of the United States to the effect that he would appoint no Negroes to positions where they were not wanted by the whites. All hope had been lost and intellectual Negro men and women began to grope in the dark and they had nowhere with all their intelligence and surroundings to go. In the days of Roosevelt they had had hopes, but there they were without any outlet and were screened off from the White House. But in 1918, in the Isles of the Sea, Marcus Garvey heard the cry of the Negro and he summoned them to get together under the Red, Black and Green to redeem the motherland Africa, and give freedom to the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. As a result, there came together not only the Negroes of New York and the Isles of the Sea, but those from different parts of the United States, in answer to the "Plumed Knight of Democracy," who inoculated faith and hope in the bosoms of the many who are now working for the redemption of Africa. Today there are many who KILLS HAY FEVER AND ASTHMA GERMS IN THREE DAYS Famous New Discovery Asthma-Tabs, Succeeds After Everything Else Had Failed-Used by Thousands SENT FREE TO PROVE THIS Mrs. C.

Townley, Asthma-Tab Laboratories, 173 Baker-Vawter Blg., Kansas City, Mo. criticise him, one attempted to criticise him that very day on the restrum, but such men were thinking only of the almighty dollar and not about the millions of Negroes in the world who were suffering today. There were three classes of Negroes. One class that know and, know that they know; another class that do not know and know that they do not know, and the last class who do not know and do not know that they do not know. With the first class you can get along pretty good; the second are willing to follow the lead of others who are working for the redemption of Africa; the third class is dangerous to the movement and to themselves. That class has been criticizing Marcus Garvey, but they have not stopped him, and he is continuing to marshal the forces of the teeming millions of the whole world, leading them to one God, one alm and one destiny, and toward the redemption of Africa. "We are going to do it." said the speaker. "We are afraid of no one—we have no boss but God." The Negroes who have in the past, been ruling in this country—the old, reactionary Negroes, the Uncle Tom Negroes—are now back numbers in the association, when such brilliant young men as Hon W. Sherrill, Hon. Rudolph Smith and others are coming forward, Please God they had some able men to lead them. He was at the convention, so as to be able to report their doings to his division in the country. That convention was a serious one, as it had to consider and decide upon important matters, among, others the steps to be taken for the freedom of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world and the redemption of Africa. He loved the association because there was no class or color distinction in it; young or old, strong or crippled were freely admitted into it. In all the organizations established heretofore the blind or crippled could not enter; but in the U. N. I. A. all were welcome, because they are doing the Master's work. We are "suffering little children to come unto Me," and therefore he was satisfied that, in carrying on the work of the association, they were carrying out the mandate of the Master. HON.:MRS. HOLMES' ADDRESS Hon. Mrs. Holmes, a delegate from Chicago, was next introduced by the chairman. She made a very telling address and was very loudly applauded at the conclusion. She said she was born again. "The day I heard the call of Marcus Garvey, though I had not seen him, I joined the association," she said. "I thank God I am born again; that is to say, my mind is changed, my heart is fixed and my understanding is clear as to the U. N. I. A. being the only organization on the scene. Though previously I belonged to six organizations, when I became a member of the U. N. I. A., I forgot the password. I want to tell you I am not discouraged. It does not matter who falls away. I know that God Almighty has inspired this movement, and, by His help and the determination of the sons of Haiti, we are going home, and we mean to go home. I want to thank God that we are all born in a new spirit, a better hope and a new determination, having as our motto 'One God, One Alm and One Destiny,' and I ask you all to stand together in order to be able to go back to your home and to put over the program that God has set out for us." HON. ROBERTSON'S ADDRESS that it has bound the white blood to a sample. (Laughter.) Whatthan Magee, Carvery go up or down, here is one, a volunteer, not a scriptor, who will continue to follow the doctrine. Since I joined the association, I became married to it, caring not what friends or relatives or even my wife may say. I have got to the place where I would even turn my back upon her saying though I love you, the U. N. I. A. is dear to me. The U. N. I. A. has laid down a platform for the unborn generations so that my children's children may wake up and see the red, black and green on the hill tops of Africa, and under those colors they will be respected all over the world. HON. JOHNSON'S ADDRESS Hon. F. Johnson, president of the Detroit Division was the next speaker. He said: It is with no small degree of pleasure that I come before, you to greet you in the name of God and of Glory. For thirty-one years I have been traveling toward this rostrum on which I now stand. I viewed the light of day for the first time 31 years ago with a yelp and a cry, unconscious of the fact that I was living, and with my mother unconscious of the fact that there was a great mission in life for me that a suffering race must be saved; that an oppressed people must be relieved from oppression and that a ravished and exploited Fatherland must be redeemed. I started crying then; I have not ceased to cry, and shall, continue to cry until Africa is redeemed and our boys and girls have found their place in the sun of world's affairs. I am going to speak to you on the subject: The Negro as the World Sees Him Continuing, the speaker said: The world looked upon the black man yesterday as a great and powerful people who contributed their part in the way of literature, art and violence to civilization. They then looked upon the black man as being of that royal blood that commanded the respect of other national powers. They looked upon the black man as being the embodiment of life and truth and strength, and because they saw him in such a light they began mobilizing their intellectual forces by which to rob the black man of his glory. They succeeded in doing so by underground methods. So by using what they style, tact, but what we call, chicanery, they directed the attention of the blackman and decoyed him from the land of his forefathers and brought him here to America and carried him to the lios of the Sea where they used him as a commodity, a tool and a convenience in order that other nations may grow into fame and wealth. They used him as such until England became one of the greatest powers on earth, and until America began to boast that she was the strength of the universe. They further beheld him as a coward, a slave and a sycophant. But how do they look upon the black man today? They are scratching their heads trying to fathom the depths of his intentions and desires trying to solve what they style the race problem. It is not a race problem but a problem of the laws of righteousness and one race alone cannot solve it. Today they look upon the blackmen as a regless and disafflicted group, not bullies, not boisterous and yet not cowards. But as a group that is thinking and the man that thinks causes the world to be much concerned about him. The man that thinks commands the respect of other people, being looked upon as one who is not safe to be tackled. Yesterday we were found slumbering or peeping through one eye, today it is different. The speaker then related the story of two brother Irishmen. The first brother had been in this country before, and had sent for the brother. When the second brother landed, Mike informed him that whenever he was in the street and saw a thing coming toward him very fast with only one glaring light he was to step to the right and get out of the way. This occurred twice and the new-comer successfully avoided collision with a motorcycle, and complimented Mike on his sense. But one might there approached him a thing with two glaring lights. He was puzzled as to what to do as he had not been instructed by his brother. He thought if he stepped to either side he would be struck by one or the other of the lights so he kept in the middle of the street with results which can easily be imagined. Today the white man finds himself in the same position with regard to the Negro and he does not know what to do and naturally he fears the result. The old attitude of the Negro to take life in the manner mapped out for him by the white man is passing away. The darkest hour is past and now comes the Negro with both eyes looking all around the world and seeing every move. Seeing Dangers Ahead Marcus Garvey sees the dangers that lie in our way and the dangers that lie in the distance, and the white man is upset because he does not know in which way to move. And God has called him to serve warning to the white world, and to every Negro, to them He has said the Negro demands the right of way, and if you don't give it to him, look out for yourself. The Negro is not satisfied and will only be satisfied with the best that life affords. We will only be satisfied when we walk into the Fatherland, Africa, with the likeness of a black Jesus, and a black Father, and when we go to the black people there and establish a black government of our own, so that the white people may respect the purity and virtue of our race, and cease exploiting and managing the land that God has given us. Mr. Negro, also you had better look out, because we have two big lights which are in the center of our machiners. You cannot see the machine, but you can see the light. If you step to the right, there is danger; if you step to the left, there is also danger. You better come on board this old boat, which is moving on, for safety, because the world is going to turn around just now. We have no regard as to how we will die. Millions of people die. It going someone bringing life to a task, the young man of this race are in a hurry to die; if dying means the evolution of this race of men, the young men are declaring, not only in America, but on the west coast of Africa, and in the interior and other parts, that they are premedicated to die and that are deploring that they will protect the chastity and virtue of any womanhood, and in this the women themselves say that they are prepared to jah. Do you think that I will allow our young women to die for me? And I selling them to the other man? Do you think that we are going to allow our race to be further exploited and savaged, or the ideals of our womanhood sampled under foot by the white man? Do you think that God is satisfied? If so, I would be. But being a part of God, that part tells me that God is not satisfied; Heaven is not satisfied, and if Heaven is not satisfied, something is going wrong on earth. And we who are in the real image and likeness of God cannot be satisfied. Want to Do Something The hour has come when our young men are going to marshal their force for the mighty work. I would feel that life has not profited me anything if I did not shoulder a rifle or sail in the air and do something for my race. I would feel like a coward. I want the day to come when I shall do something that would mean the salvation of the race. And I say to you people. If you want your boys and girls to come up with freedom, if you want them to find a place in the sun. Africa calls you to redeem her. She feels the hand of oppression: she feels that she is losing things that are valuable to her. Some people say we have lost nothing in Africa; but if you have lost nothing, you have lost your racial identity, one of the greatest and grandest things of any people. You have lost your name there, and you should go back to reclaim it. do not care about the Klu Klux Klan or any other group, so far as propaganda is concerned. I am afraid of no man unless he is particularly shifty, and I believe everything is fair in a fight. So I say to all to get out of the way of this mighty force, moving on to Africa, that we might plant our flag on the sunny hills of Africa. We should stand solidly behind our leader; otherwise the time, the energy, the money, and everything we have done will have been in vain. If one division is hard pressed, the other will come to its rescue. "I want you to carry these things out. We will treat the white man of the world right. It is our indispensable duty, according to the laws of nature. But if they continue to treat us as they have been doing, and the Hon. Marcus Garvey says we have had enough, then we will help him until he dies, and then we will carry on with his spirit until we shall have attained our object in the sunny plains of Africa.

Sir: Being propelled by the natural force of ambition for the progressive advancement of the Negro race, to which I belong, and of which I am so desirous to see standing intellectually, industrially, politically, economically and, financially equal with the other races of the world. I herein ask your permission to make the following comment in your paper in accordance with the impression made in me by the activities of the U. N. I. A. on the first of August, 1924. Having followed the procession throughout, and carefully listened to comments by non-member Negroes, I discovered that the procession has made an indelible impression on the minds of thousands of such non-interested Negroes. To some, it seems "only a waste of money," but to the more thoughtful it is considered as wonderful. They see in it a hope based upon a foundation of self-determination which will ultimately result in a colossal amalgamation of Negroes the world over. I am sure if we as individuals can rid ourselves of ambiguity, egotism and petty jealousies; if we would learn to respect one another's thoughts and weight them in the balance of reason; if we could only learn to appreciate and teach those under our guidance to appreciate the services rendered by others for the good and welfare of the organization, and finally concentrate all our mental faculties and physical energies upon the consolidation of the race as a whole. It would not be very far off when we would find ourselves bound together in an everlasting sunshine of racial unity. Bishop Alex. McGuire's Sermon It is my belief that Bishop McGuire has delivered the sermon of his life, "A Negro God." Beyond the shadow of a doubt it is the most philosophical, rational and logical psychoanalysis yet preached by the pulpit at a most opportune moment. If each and every preacher of the race would teach such doctrines it would help greatly in cementing our racial ambition. Curiously enough. Negroes have failed to see that it is through such means that the other races have succeeded in promoting their racial welfare. For instance, all races undoubtedly acknowledge God to be a spirit without any shade of color whatever; yet the white race paints God as being white. The unseen angels are white, the throne he elits upon is white, the robes worn in Heaven are white, the horse He rides is white, etc., etc. The Chinese Confucius is yellow; the Japanese Buddha is yellow, the East Indian Buddha is brown. These people possessed with their individual racial ambition attribute their racial complexion to the God they worship and adore. This was done and is being done simply to instill into the memory of their coming generation that what soever is good must bear their racial color. Unfortunately the Negro, not realizing this bit of racial psychology, has accepted and adopted the white God idea. Again we have been given to believe that the devil, or Satan, is black sin as is black as sack cloth, etc. This the Negro has also accepted whole-heartedly, which has caused him to lose the last bit of racial pride that he might have possessed. My plea to the race is to instill into the mind of our people the realization that a race, like an individual, is just what that race, or individual, makes it. I hope, as Bishop Alexander McGuire has begun, others will follow, unhestatingly. EDUARDO V. MORALES. New York City, August 3. GIRLS!

DIVISION On Friday night, the 11th of July last, our Camaguey hall was the center of unusual interest, the occasion being the visit of Mr. Rudolf Smith, the third assistant president-general of the U. N. L. A. and titular leader of the West Indies and South and Central America, accompanied by Mr. Smith. The distinguished visitors arrived that morning direct from Florida, and the announcement of their arrival brought forth eloquent response in a large turnout of members and friends of the association to welcome them. It was fully evident that everyone was impressed with the greatness of the occasion, realizing that a visit from one of the high executive officers of our wonderful organisation, bringing, as did Mr. Smith, a message of hope and encouragement, must mean a strengthening of our determination to stand for our glorious cause and a renewing of our vision of final victory. The meeting commenced at 8 o'clock, Mr. Miller, president of the Camaguey division, presiding. Among those present were Mr. Martin, president of the Florida division, and Mr. Manahan, president of the Guanabasco, Havana, division, and Senor Juan Delgado and Senor Gonzalo Ricordo, the two latter gentlemen being delegates sent to represent the Labor Union. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, extended welcome to the distinguished visitors, following which a solo was rendered by Mrs. Francis, entitled "Over the River, of Life" which was followed by a hymn by the audience entitled "The King of Love My Shepherd Is." Next, an able address by Mr. Manahan, president of the Guanabasco, Havana, division. Then an address by Mr. Gonzalo Ricordo, one of the delegates of "La Union", who, in a touching manner, expressed his esteem of the Negro race. Mr. Murray, newly elected secretary of the Camaguey division, next addressed the assembly. Then followed the reading of the credentials of the Hon. Rudolph Smith and Mrs. Smith. Next a message from the Hon. Marcus Garvey was read by Mrs. Smith. Then an address by the Hon. Rudolph Smith, which was being honored forward to with keen expectancy, and the members and friends were not disappointed. After greeting his audience in the name of the millions of members of the association in the United States, the Hon. Rudolph Smith, in pregnancy with sincerity, zeal and matchless eloquence, proceeded to present to the audience an enlightening and inspiring review of the activities, struggles, setbacks and triumphs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, as championed by the noble band of faithful heroes against the open opposition of enemies and the treachery of false friends. The speaker described the part played by that beloved leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose fearless stand for the freedom of his people and the redemption of their homeland has lighted the torch of hope in the hearts of millions—touching upon the plan for the establishment of a Steamship service. The Hon. Rudolph Smith made a strong appeal to his listeners for support of the worthy undertaking, which met with the tallest response. Mr. Smith's speech certainly won the highest admiration of his listeners, revealing as it did a zealous, unselfish conception of the great cause of Negro advancement. The meeting then terminated with the singing of our national anthem.

After the singing of the opening ode the Twenty-third Falmum was read, followed by hymn and prayer. The president in the course of his introductory remarks said he was greatly pleased at having the opportunity of being present at the first mass meeting held in our new hall, and more so of seeing the patriotic spirit shown by the new members of the division who were trying to keep the banner of the U. N. I. A. flying in this vicinity. He also made an earnest plea to all asking them to be steadfast in the high spirit they had shown to the program of the association. The minutes of the last general meeting were then read. The president asked those present to appoint a 'vice-president to fill the new vacancy. Mr. J. Adams thereupon introduced Mr. W. G. Bogle as the one he thought capable of filling the vacancy. This was put to the house and carried unanimously.

He pledged himself to do all in his power for the welfare of the division and the association in general. After the singing of the "Sheaves." Mr. J.

A. and what it stood for: Mr. H. Bailey was the next speaker. He carried away his hearers with an impressive address, asking them to carry on the good work for Africa's redemption, Miss O. B. Simmons, in her address, pointed out how much the association was dependent on the assistance of every member of the race for the carrying out of its plans. Miss C. Willite was the next speaker. She expressed her delight at meeting once more the members of the U. N. I. A., and in choice language contrasted the small beginning of the association, with its present day activities. The president then thanked the audience for the interest they took in the organization, and remarked that we were 'nearer our goal now more than at any other time in the history of the association. In conclusion he asked the members to persevere, to eschew dissensions and to work in harmony for the good of our great race.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM He Has Strong Faith That Marcus Garvey Will Win To the Editor of The New World To the Lord of the Negro world. I am a reader of your paper. It is the most wonderful paper. I have ever read. I am interested in the U. N. I. A. I think it is a great organization upon which depends the salvation of the Negro race. It is the greatest organization controlled by the Negro race. Now, the U. N. I. A. under the leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey, is engaged in the great battle of freedom, fighting against injustice and oppression. I can't help but believe that the victory will be won. First, we must conquer the foes within, then we can more easily conquer those without. The victory will then be won with less difficulty. May God bless Hon. Marcus Garvey and spare his life until the great victory is won; that the son of Ethiopia shall again rise to its glory and shine over the entire continent of of Africa. MARTIN SMITH. Couhatta Le. A Teacher in Honduras Strong for African Redemption To the Editor of The Negro World: To the Editor of The Negro World: "Please permit me to express myself, though a woman, but one who has will power, determination and a strong husband, in the fight for Africa's redemption. I mean to hold on to the skirt of Marcus Garvey, and never to let go until we die or Africa be redeemed. So; let the wind blow however it likes. Africa will be redeemed, for Ethiopia has stretched forth her hands unto God. The Red Sea is already divided and we are on our way through. Let Pharrach and his host come along. I am sure we shall see them sinking beneath the waves of disappointment. Those Negroes who are planning to overthrow this grand and noble movement, let me tell them, will never succeed, as they did not succeed in keeping Marcus Garvey within the gates of the Tombs in 1923. They will not be able to bar the gates of Liberia against her sons and daughters, for God has put it in the hearts of the Liberians to take hold of the hands that have been stretched out to them for over 850 years, and from her shores. Princes will be brought; hence they will not allow lilars to deceive them, and that the prophecy be not fulfilled. Courage, brothers! Do not stumble. Though the way be dark and dreary, there is a light to guide the humble. Trust in God and do the right. MATILDA INGLETON. Tela. Spanish Monduras.

Amen! G. N. NICHOLLS. The Editor of the Negro World: I am recently a resident in this city, direct from one of the British West Indies, which is the land of my nativity. I am not a member of the U. N. A. but a reader of the Negro World. The Hon. Rudolph Smith was here and has gone; he did not say goodbye, but au revoir. The presence of this distinguished gentleman compelled me to find myself in Liberty Hall for the first time. I was curious not only to see but to hear this eminent gentleman, this great ambassador, this advocate of Negroes' freedom, who is working so assiduously and ardently. And must I not say that I am satisfied? Indeed, he has given evidence which cannot be controverted. How awful it is to see that such men are working so nobly and strenuously for so sacred and righteous a cause and that those who are fighting the organization are within the race! How clear and plain is the solution If you are not a member of the U. N. I. A. and mean to take absolutely no part in helping it, why not remain neutral? Why continually make your- selves the laughing stock for white people? I am sure that those Negroes who are now fighting the organization are quite convinced, but not willing to accept the evidence. However, the words of Mr. Smith have caused many in this city to ston NOTICE TO DIVISIONS Guatemala, C. A. their cunning sophistication against the U. N. I. A. I only pray that once in a while the parent body will send us such gentleman who can so nobly expound the aims and objects of the association and give us new aspirations. ETHEL ATKINS. Carnaguey, Cuba. To the Editor of the Negro World: This comes to you as a call to duty. Our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, with his co-workers, has succeeded in bringing this race movement to the attention of the great governments of the world; therefore it is the duty of every member in particular, and every Negro in general, to do his duty, morally, intellectually, and financially in co-operation with the leadership in putting over the program. This is the psychological time in the life of our great movement. It behooves every member of the race to standby our leaders. A united front of the 6,000,000 members of our organization can put every feature of the present program over in a manner that will make the world set up and take notice. August is convention month. The door of the fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World is open for the consideration of the greatest program ever presented up to this time. The best minds of the race from every quarter of the globe will assemble to consider it and to make dispositions for the future progress of this great movement. Our great leader and his associated co-workers are engaged in convention planning for the future betterment of our race. Let every member and interested Negro get down to real business. Let us do some hard work in co-operation with them in setting a new milestone in the progress of the race that will be a memorial to future posterity. Delhi. La. J. S. PHILLIPS.

BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER (Lincoln News Service) As I sat down in the smoker and crumbled some homepun tobacco leaves, preparatory to a final smoke, my attention was drawn to a passenger who entered the smoker closely behind me. He steadied himself with a heavy cane and walked with a perceptible limp. Streaks of gray hair were intermingled with black, but his youthful features and complexion were those of a man who might have reached his early thirties. "Fine night, sir," he said, smilingly, as he deftly lighted a cigarette. "I like to sit up late on nights like this." he continued, pleasantly, as he looked at his watch, on the fob of which I noticed a medal which looked like a war decoration. "Well." I responded, as I eyed the decoration closely and became convinced that it was a Croix de Guerre, "since I see you're a war hero, I hope all the nights and days, too, for that matter, will bring full happiness to you and all the boys who saved our country." "Thanks," he said. In simple sincerity, "I'm particularly happy tonight, for I met one of my old buddies on board, and we had a fine chat, until he was called away, about old times at the front. For it was just this hour," he continued pulling his watch, which showed that it was half past nine, "that Jim, thinking I was a German, captured me half a minute before the out watch and carried me back to camp as a prisoner, only to find out that I was an American and belonged to his own division. Half an hour after that the German mines, which for some reason had not been fired, went off and bleam, up the wnolo section where we had been. We'd both been killed if we'd been there." "But how was it?" I inquired, "that Jim thought you were a German, and why were you so far away from your company? "Well, you couldn't tell anybody that evening, after the day's engagement, and without my uniform, the best part of which had been torn away. Jim, who had had blood in his eye for all Germans had sworn to get one more, and when he found me out scouting beyond the lines, he wouldn't believe I warl right until he took me into camp. After that we became warm friends, and saw much of each other very often. And just before the Armistice was declared I had the pleasure of saving him from an aeroplane bombing which came pretty near getting us all," he concluded, with a hearty laugh. "Well, you and Jim, whoever he is, are O. K., Guess I'll take one more smoke, as Jim might come in and I'd sure like to see him." Just then, the porter entered, and the war veteran reached for his cane, and with its help fairly leaped to his feet as he shouted: "Jim, old boy—for goodness sake hurry up with your work, so we can finish talking over old times. I'm getting off at Philadelphia, you know, and I won't be back East until July." Clasping the porter's hand warmly, the war veteran added, as he looked at me. "This is Jim, who has nine lives, two Croix de Guerre medals, and last, but not least, as warm a place in my heart as any guy who ever went over the top." And when I retreat to my berth at 10 o'clock, the buddies were seated close together; still talking over old times at the front. Arabs Say They Are Jews; Would Join Palestine Colon JERUSALEM, July 14 (Jewish Telegraphic Agency).—An entire tribe of Bedouins. In the neighborhood of Safed, has applied to the Palestine Government to help it to return to Judaism. The leaders of the tribe, which is named Alshmaini, declare that according to its tradition, handed down from generation to generation, the tribe is of Jewish descent, and now that the Jewish national homeland is being rebuilt they want to rejoin the ancient faith of their forefathers. THE LILY FLOWER By C. McKINZIE MUIR With laughing eyes, in girlish glee. She ran to meet me on my way. And gave with timid glance to me A-Eucharis lily, culled that day. With lips apart, yet naught to say. Expectantly she waited by. And swept the flaxed locks away That strayed across her bright blue That day is past, that sun has set, I mourn her in my lonely hour; But, Oh! I never can forget Her simple gift, the lily flower That fluttering skirts, the tossing trees, That on the breeze sunset streamed. The bounding step of eagerness. The eyes with 'welcome home' that beamed Fit wages for my day's work seemed; But brighter than the earliest gown. A star of hope and love, I deemed. That lily on its trail stem Cherus That day is past, that sun has set. I mourn her in my lonely hour. But in my heart I treat me yet. Her simple gift, the Lily Flower Boston, Mars.

ALL UNIFORMED UNITS OF UNIVERSALVENTION ON THE FIRST DAY AND JOIN IN THE GOD SAVE AFRICA !!! UNIVERS INDUSTRIAL SOCIAL LIBERTY HALL CROWDS INCREASE to control others. Of course, that smart Negro is simply a tool in his hands, but a psychology is fostered that gives him an independence he would not get otherwise. In Africa it is the same thing. The Frenchman, the Englishman controlling those natives can only do so by giving them a certain independence that the American Negro has no opportunity to enjoy. And somehow or other whether I met that Negro, whether from the West Indies or other lands, in the majority of cases he has a way of standing up, an air of independence, a way of talking that we can not imitate over here. Yet all the opposition is based on this—that Marcus Garvey is a West Indian. What does it matter? The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a program for West Indians, is not a program for American Negroes—it is a program for the Negroes of the world. (Loud applause.) (Continued from page 5) come or not. I had always felt, ever since I was old enough to think for myself, that if the Negro was ever to have, a real, stalwart, courageous leader that would be able to stand fearlessly and look the world in the face and tell them what black men wanted and should have, he would have to come from somewhere outside of the United States. And if Marcus Garvey goes today, or tomorrow I am afraid we will have to start somewhere in the islands or on the coast of Africa looking for another leader to fill his place. The American Negro The Negro in America has been raised under a condition so peculiar and so different to, that of any other Negro that it is now difficult to find the material that will make leadership for the race. The Negro in America from the time he leaves the cradle is Jim Crowed, segregated, kicked about, cuased and lynched and by the time he reaches man's estate he has no manhood left to exert. Now the Negro in the West Indies, I know, has suffered terribly at the hands of the British, but he is in the majority, and from the cradle he exercises a certain amount of independence that the American Negro never has exercised. In high positions of state, in city positions the British Government is compelled to use the smart Negro in order And so we find Negroes here moving heaven and earth to remove Marcus Garvey. They have done everything they could think of to hinder and embarrass him in the putting over of the program of the U: N: I: A. They started with the Black Star Line, thinking thereby to convince Negroes Marcus Garvey was a crook and a thief, but they discovered that the people will not stand for that kind of propaganda Marcus Garvey was arrayed before the court and the world to shake from him.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General the support of millions of Negroes who had lined up, and today they are using every means they can find in pursuit of the same vindictive selfish ends. Marcus Garvey, the genius of his race, they would destroy him. They tried to make people believe he had enriched himself at the expense of the people, and they are still looking about for the place he buried his treasure. I am glad the members of the U. N. I. A see this Negro a long way before he gets to him. I have said it in Chicago. I have said it in New Orleans. I have said it in Miami, -Fla., and I have said it in Atlanta, Ga.—Marcus Garvey is one of the world's providential geniuses. And those Negroes who would oppose and hinder are wasting time. (Loud applause.) LONDON, Aug. 1.—The action brought by George Parkington, well-known contractor of Blackpool, Lancashire, against the College of Ambulance and its secretary for damages for alleged violation of a contract to obtain for him a knighthood for £20,000, of which he alleged he had advanced £3,000, has been dismissed by Justice Lush. The Judge ruled that a contract to obtain a title was an unlawful transaction. £20,000 Price of English Knighthood and "treks" unerringly for the death pit. He may travel for days and even weeks and when he arrives at the edge of the pit he "nap" to his death. How much ivory lies there? Who will discover it? In Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil "ivory" grows on trees. It is gathered in the form of hard, white, fine-grained oval cuts, about the size of a small potato, which drop from the wild tagua, or vory nut palm. When dried, vegetable ivory looks like real ivory from elephant tusks. We are reminded just here of the Day of Sorrow recently observed in Japan. How those people, feeling humiliated because, of the unjust discrimination against them by the American government, solemnly protested such wrongs. The object of the observance of a day of that kind was to make every Japanese feel the insult: To make every Japanese feel that his pride had been humiliated. The leaders wanted to arouse the people to a full realization of just what had been done to them by the American government. So with us, let us remember those who inflict deep wounds in our pride, grumble, as it were, the blood from those wounds upon our gate, poets, so as we go in we will remember; and when we go out we won't forget.—St. Louis Argus. EDUCATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL When the Elephant Comes to Die He Makes for the Pit By Leonard-Massenger in Norfolk Journal and Guide The reason ivory billiard balls are so expensive is because the supply of ivory, a natural growth depending mainly upon the tusks of elephants, is exceedingly limited. Nevertheless, if some wanderer probably through the illimitable forests of Central Africa, or water called Victoria Nyanza, could stumble upon a certain "pit" and communicate his discovery to the world, the value of this commodity would drop to the nearest fraction of its present worth. Seeing that in Africa there are tens of thousands of wild elephants, one would imagine that travelers like Stanley and Cameron would have recorded coming upon the carcass of a dead beast. Yet they never did, nor has any other African explorer come upon an elephant which has died in its tracks from natural causes. What becomes of all the elephants that die? It is said that somewhere in the million square miles that constitute the African continent is a mighty pit with precipitous sides, which contains the bones, and therefore the tusks, of countless thousands of elephants. How did they come there? It is said, further, that, whenever an African elephant may be, when he feels the approach of death he leaves the herd 14. An appeal to the Presidents of America, France and Portugal for a square deal for Negroes in Africa, America and the colonies. 15. Discussing the Negro's attitude in the next great war. 16. Discussing the petition of appeal of the Negro Peoples of the World to the League of Nations for the turning over to them of certain mandatories in Africa now being exercised by alien peoples over the natives. 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) several 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 pair. 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 Negrdes 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 Negrdes 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 Negrdes of Trimidal 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.

If the Negroes of Trinidad desired to carry out any measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength for them, and so with any community where the Negroes live through- field. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the inter- Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro union.

CIATION New French Anesthetic Discovered There is no sickness and no ill effects on the liver and kidneys. New French Anaesthetic Discovered If platforms meant anything, no obligation would exist. The choice would be easy. But we know from experience that campaigns once over a party platform becomes just so much refrence literature.—Pittsburgh American PARIS, July 24 A new anaesthetic which is claimed to be far superior to any hitherto employed is being used by Dr Freudet of the Hospital de la Nouvelle Pute. It is called "commi-tore." In doses of ten to fifteen cubes centimeters it is injected into the veins after previous injections of morphine or scopolamine. According to the account given the French Surgical Society, the resulting anaesthesia is complete, permitting the longest and most serious operation. The patient remains plunged for twenty-four to thirty-six hours afterward in torpor, from which, however, he can be aroused from time to time for food. DETECTIVES Divorces, Investigations, Etc.

They thought that as the empire of secession freedom for the Negro, he was existing at the very roots of the British American system, which was part of the policy to subjugate and dominate the Black people. England had used the Anglican Church and other religious society with selling effect in the subjugation of the natives, and he predicted that she will become more concerned when she bears of the convictions that had been passed with regard to the defication of the Black man of sorrows. The mainstay of Britain's policy was "Divide and rule." It was very effective, especially among Negroes. Hon. W. A. Wellace, of Illinois, who was called by the speaker to speak on the policy of America, said that the political weapon was one of America's agencies. Negro preachers were easily secured for a consideration to preach to their congregations and get their support for a certain candidate. In that way an economical slavery was established. The doctrine of the South was a white supremacy, while the supporters in the North adopted the policy also of keeping the Negro in his place. The only solution of the problem facing the race in America was the building up of a nation in Africa which would be in a position to protect the inter-nactions of Negroes everywhere. Hon J. J. Peters, on invitation of the chair, outlined the policy of France toward the Negro. He claimed that that policy was the best of the three making comparisons as to the treatment of the people by the three different governments. He said the Negroes, under the French were considered as citizens and were given high office. The French, however, exploited the people in the colonies in the same way as the British, and handicapped them in many directions, particularly in regard to nationhood. He also discussed on the shrewd, vicious and bureaucratic policy of the British. In the discussion that followed, Hon. J. Hassell, of Seattle, Wash., threw much light on the various policies showing that he had a world of information in regard to the present position of the Negroes in the three countries. He spoke of the impoverishment of the West Indies in regard to sugar as being due to the fact that the British preferred to help the German best growers, than to help the islands because many colored people owned Because of our firm conviction that the Negro child should have a Negro instead of a white doll, the Art Novelty Co. is offering for sale, at the lowest prices, these beautiful dolls, as illustrated below.

As to the French, he said They were given many opportunities to film, and instructed the fact that at the beginning of the war, General Dixie, colored man, was adjutant general of the French forces, but had been retired because of the protests of the British and the French. He next pointed out the effect of the American policy and instanced Maravil, which was now under control of America, and which was now owned thereby by the descendants of the original missionaries, who want to those islands, and who married among the princesses and weakly natives. After some further discussion, the morning session adjourned. THURSDAY AFTERNOON AUGUST 7 On the resumption, discussion of the British, French and American policy toward the Negro was continued. Hon. C. H. Bryant, commissioner of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, referred to the concept of the British, who he said, were determined to maintain their domination of the Negro people, no means for doing, so being too despicable. France's policy was one of expediency. Negroes being necessary for her protection. As for America, the stars were for America, and the strips for negroes. Hon. D. H. Kyle, Clarksbury, W. Va., said he agreed with the previous speakers when they said that the British, French and Americans dominated through their system of education, the cult of white supremacy and white superiority. It was for Negroes through the U. N. I. A. to meet propaganda with propaganda. Hon. M. Ankerlee, Penn., emphasized that religion was used to subjugate the Negro. The lesson of turning the other cheek had been well taught. Hon. Arnold Ford, New York, said religion, education, the economic system, politics and the social order were the means by which the Negro was oppressed. Negroes must produce their own literature. It was a disgrace that they knew nothing of the principles that guided their fathers. Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba, gave a vivid account of the oppressive tactics and methods of the British people in their dealings with Negroes. It seemed to him that it was not so much "policy" as "poison," with which the British inoculated their victims. He had seen Negroes starving, unable to provide themselves with shelter, unable to secure a day's work under British rule, and yet singing "God Save the King" with the greatest fervor. Hon. H. E. Ellenberg, Gary, Ind. said that the American system, as far as the Negro was concerned, was physical bondage, then spiritual bondage, then intellectual bondage, all attended with a shocking inhumanity. Hon. E. B. Grant, Bermuda, endorsed the remark of the Hon. Bachelor, Hon. Edward Allen, Pittsburgh; Hon. Rogers, Newport News, Va.; Hon. H. Nicholas, New York, and Hon. Jackson, New Orleans, supported the point of view of the preceding speakers, stating that it was for the Negro to take steps to resist the propaganda of the white race with similar propaganda. Hon. G. A. Weston, New York, showed that the British policy was very shrewd and insidious and instanced that within his knowledge, in pursuance of the system to divide and rule, the British had employed Turkish agnite to preach Islamism to members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Hon. F. Johnson, Detroit, emphasized that America used one section of Negroes to oppress another Hon. J. D. Barber referred to the British and French policy of oppression in Sogamiland and the Sudan respectively. He suggested that the D. N. I. A. send out missionaries to counteract their propaganda. At this stage the convention adjourned until 8:30 p.m. THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7 The Convention was called to order at 9 p.m. the Hon. Rudolph Smith in the chair. The Hon. Rudolph Smith informed the Convention that the Hon. Marcus Garvey was absent, very pressing business concerned with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The discussion of the subject which engaged attention at the afternoon session—the British, French and American policy toward the Negro—was continued. Hon. J. B. Eaton, Berkeley, Va., dealt with the American policy, which, he said, was one of oppression through denial of political rights. Hon. Jacob Chambers, East St. Louis, said it was the settled determination of the white man to keep the Negro in a state of servitude. In East St. Louis, a law had been passed excluding Negroes from the South, and this attitude would in time become general, eventually approximating the attitude now adopted towards the Japanese. Hon. Daniels, Brooklyn, agreed with previous speakers who showed that a system of repression through the medium of education was in general use by the white man everywhere. Hon. Baxter, Jamaica, said the policy of the British as exemplified in Jamaica was destruction by starvation. He referred to the introduction of cheap labor from India against which the Negro could not compete. Hon. F. L. Martin, St. Louis, said the policy of the white nations was based on the survival of theittest. His wan, however, not so much concerned with consideration of the policy of the white man towards the Negro as the plane the Negro would adopt to combat the policy of the white man. Hon. Col. Wattley, New York, said all were agreed as to the policy of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1934 British, French and the Americans toward the Negro. The policy the Negro could adopt to oppose this was the policy of the U. N. I. A. Hon. J. R. Gill, Pittsburgh, said the Negro in America had no policy and proceeded to elaborate in this strain, when the Acting Speaker, ruled him out of order. The honorable gentleman thereupon took his seat. The Acting Speaker here vacated the chair to address the House, and Hon. Percival Barrows wielded the gavel. said the South would be sold for the Universal Negro Improvement Association if proper measures were taken to spread the principle. The Negro of wealth in the South stood between the masses and their salvation. It was that class of men to whom the attention of the U. N. I. A. should be directed. The policy of the white man was this, he told the Negro, prepare somewhere to go, for we are only betting you stay here until we are ready to turn you out, when we no longer need you. Literature. The white man philosophical, logical and with literature in forming him of the true association he would apprise the statements at their true value. The was a powerful instrument he used to the full. Hon. Powell, Chelsea Dowell, W. Va.; Hon. I also spoke, suggesting tion of literature after Hon. Smith, in a lengthy address referred to the tremendous hold which France and Great Britain had on Africa, and their determination, in their own interests, to maintain their grip. He referred to the policy of divide and rule which England had developed everywhere and said it was for the Negro to be educated to the meaning of this sinister instrument. He dwelt at length, on the antagonism of black against light brown which the British had stirred, among Negroes in the colonies. Propaganda was one of the chief weapons and he instanced how in Cuba, where the Association had a very large membership, one newspaper had declared that Marcus Garvey had been arrested as a bootleger. He moved that the Chairman of the Convention, Hon. Marcus Garvey, on his arrival the next day, appoint a committee of seven to draw up plans providing for the remedying of those ill affecting Negroes which had been introduced by the policy of the British, French and Americans. Hon. F. L. Martin, St. Louis, seconded. Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, moved an amendment, and several rose to speak on unreadiness, whereupon a motion to adjourn was moved and carried. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8 The convention assembled at 10 a.m. the Speaker. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. Prayers were read, after which the minutes of the previous session were read by the secretary. Winding up the discussion of the previous session. Hon. Martin., St. Louis, moved that a committee of seven he appointed to draft a plan to determine the policy of the association with respect to the policy of France, England and America toward the Negro, the committee to report next Friday. August 15. Hon. S. V. Robertson seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. The following committee was then appointed by the speaker: Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois; Hon. P. Martin, St. Louis; Hon. S. V. Robertson, Louisiana; Hon. J. D. Barber, Hon. P. L. Burrows, first assistant secretary general; Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba; Hon. S. R. Wheat, West The convention was prepared to discuss ways and means of adjusting the race problem of the Southern States of the United States of America to the satisfaction of all concerned. Intifating the discussion, the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, said the subject was a very important one. The South was the sore spot of the nation, but at the same time the South was the character-making center of Negroes. The South had given more character to the Negro than any other section of the world. It had made more real Negro men and women than had been made anywhere else, but, paradoxically, it was that part of the world where Negroes suffered most within the pale of civilization. It was, therefore, the duty of the convention to discuss how to educate the people in the South lands so as to render themselves best able to emancipate themselves. The highest purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were liberty and freedom for the Negro, but there must be the backbone of education if liberty and freedom were to be obtained. He was not prepared to condemn the whole slave or yet to uphold the South. Its people had shown themselves the most honest in their attitude toward the Negro American and African Negroes would become the finest Negroes in the world because of their contact with the brutally frank white residents in the South of America and in South Africa, a contact which incubated in the Negro the spirit of self-reliance, self-respect and self-development. The South, it must not be forbidden, he concluded, was powerful in Republican no less than in Democratic politics. Hon. Bishop McGullett, New York, drew a parallel between the relations of Negroes and Caucasians in the South and in America as a whole and these that existed between the descendants of Ham and the Hebrews when the latter sought refuge among the former. So long as two distinct races, living side by side, had both made up their minds to preserve their racial identity and so remain pure, there would be a dominant race and a subject race. He had visited the South on occasions and preferred living conditions there to the hive existence exiled out in New York apartments in Greenabore, North Carolina, he instanced. Negroes lived in palatial homes with every comfort and convenience and unmolested by the white residents, whose concern ended at segregation. Thank God for the South, he said; thank God for the opportunities Negroes enjoyed there, thank God for the limitations placed upon their enjoyment which made them think of their fathers' God and hold in mind the destiny of the race. Hon. Jacob Chambers. East St. Louis, said he was born and reared in the South. Talking about conditions that existed there, he said, would not solve the problem that confronted the race there. The only way to solve the problem to the satisfaction of all concerned was by, putting, more energy, more money and giving more help to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader. The people in the Minneapolis Valley and in Tennessee were ready to embrace the tombs of the U. N. I. A. and a strong sense and well-directed effort should be made to reach the masses of the South. Mon. M. McDowell, Blytheville, Ark. said the South would be sold for the North. Negro Improvement Association if proper measures were taken to spread the principle. The Negro wealth in the South stood between the masses and their salvation. It was that chans of men to whom the attentions of the U. N. L. A. should be directed. The policy of the white man was this, he told the Negro, prepare somewhere to go, for we are only betting you stay here until we are ready to turn you out, when we no longer need you. Hon. C. Minus, New York, said it must be remembered that Negroes in the South were taught from the white man's books and literature. The U. N. L. A. must seek to correct this. Hon. Henrietta V. Redd, Gary. Ind., said she was born in Mississippi, and lived there nearly all her life. She condemned in strong terms, the unsympathetic treatment meted out to Negroes who migrated from the South by their Northern brothers—she referred particularly to the States of Indiana and Illinois. Hon. L. Jones, Cincinnati, said he was born and reared in the Southern States. As he saw it the U. N. I. A. should concentrate its attention on the preachers and the teacher. Hon. Haywood Humpton, Georgia, suggested that the heads of great fraternal bodies, such as the United Old Fellows and the Masons, and certainly wealthy Negroes of influence should be brought together in conference. Hon. D. D. Dantels, New Madrid, Mia, said he was a native of Mississippi, and 76 years of age. The preachers, and teachers, he agreed, were the greatest stumbling block in the way of a successful solution of the problem. At this stage the adjournment was taken on the motion of Hon. C. Minus, seconded by Hon. R. A. Bachelor. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 8 On the resumption at 2 o'clock the discussion which engaged attention at the morning session was continued. Hon. C. Stokes, Middletown, Ohio; Hon. Col. Wattley, New York; Hon. A. R. Patesau, Alliance, Ohio; and Hon. L. Simmons, Blytheville, Ark., spoke suggesting the use of literature and the press. Hon. J. D. Barber said the eyes of the preacher should be opened, he should not be fought, the preachers were not to blame for they were in the majority of cases mere creatures of a system. He said that one of the reasons why the south did not want to see the Negroes leave was because they wanted the company of Negro women and it would be an excellent thing if they lined up with the white women of the south, and thereby gaining the friendship of the latter, in fighting the relations of white men with black women. Hon. B. Hale, Milwaukee, said if the masses were taught and converted, their leaders, the preachers would follow. Hon. Askernese, Farrel, Pa., was of the same opinion. If a house was on fire, he said, the tenants would not wait until the preachers told them to leave. Hon. Wightman, Chicago, said courage was needed in dealing with the situation. Hon. J. B. Eaton, strongly condemned the suggestion that the preachers be approached. Get the masses, he declared. It would be a waste of time and money to prepare literature for circulation among the preachers. Hon. May Boyd, New York, said it was economic stress that prevented Negroes of the north assisting Negroes of the south more than they did when they came north. The Speaker, Hon. Maffei Garvey, said two important points had been made. The statement of the Hon. Henrietta Bald, in regard to the attitude of the Negro to his brother was true. The big Negro or the educated or privileged Negro cared nothing about the unfortunate Negro. The race as a whole was suffering from the same capitalistic grafting bunch that the white people was suffering from and were now fighting. The fight was an internal one. The race had a group of professional Negroes who had no more consideration for their people than the Devil had for holy water, their one objective being the exploiting the unfortunate of their own race. The average Negro preacher was a curse to the race. Hon. Johnson; Hon. J. Richardson, Norfolk, Va.; Hon. A. G. Ellinburg, Gary, Ind.; Hon. Brown, Miami; Hon. W. Robertson, Hon. G. A. Weston, Hon. Allen, Toronto; Hon. Smith, Jersey City, also spoke, after which the discussion was closed. Hon. F. Martin, St. Louis, moved that a committee of five be appointed by the speaker to formulate the sug- gestions as to the ways and means of adjusting the race problem in the south. Hon R. A. Bachelor, seconded and the motion was carried. The following committee was appointed by the Speaker: Hon. Kyle, W. Va.; Hon. Robertson, Miss.; Hon. Henrietta Redd, Ind.; Hon. McDowell, Ark.; Hon. G. A. Logan, Atlanta, Ga. The meeting then proceeded to discuss ways and means of correctly educating white public opinion to the needs and desires of the Negro race. Hon. Kyle, W. V., said one of the greatest hindrances to the movement was the misunderstanding on the part of the white race and suggested that this understanding he remedied by a system of propaganda put out through Important Notice The commission of Lionel Francis as President of the Philadelphia Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been revoked, and he is outlawed as a member of the organization. The Charter of the Philadelphia Division is suspended and no payment of moneys for the organization must be made to its present officers. Any one receiving moneys for the Philadelphia Division will be committing a criminal offense. All members are instructed to await the final instructions of the Parent Body. No meetings shall be held until further notice. All those persons who continue to give aid to and associate with LIONEL FRANCIS in his rebellion against the organization shall be outlawed. PARENT BODY, U. N. I. A., MARCUS GARVEY, President-General Maturature. The white man was cool philosophical, logical and calculating and with literature in his hands informing him of the true principles of the association he would be able to appraise the statements of the enemy at their true value. The Negro World was a powerful instrument that should be used to the full. Hon. Powell, Clackmann; Hon. McDowell, W. Va.; Hon. Rudolph Smith, also spoke, suggesting the dissemination of literature after which Hon. Smith moved that a committee of three be formed to formulate suggestions as to the needs and desires of the Negro race. Hon. Martin seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. The following committee was then appointed by the Speaker: Hon. F. Johnson. Detroit; Hon. Peters. Chicago; Hon. Nicholas, New York. Hon. Weston moved that a committee be appointed to draft a resolution of condolence to be presented to the widow of the late Sir John E. Bruce, and that the committee attend the funeral exercises Sunday; and read the resolutions on behalf of the Fourth International Convention. Hon. Rudolph Smith seconded and the motion was carried. The Speaker appointed the following committee: Hon. Geo. Weston, Hon. Bishop Barber and Hon. Rudolph Smith. The convention then adjourned until 2:30 p. m. Sunday, Aug. 10. FRIDAY EVENING PUBLIC MEET- ING, AUGUST 9 On Friday evening a public meeting was held, and the hall was packed to the doors in spite of the intense heat. Hon. G. A. Weston, first vice-president of the New York Local, presided, and the principal speakers, named by the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the close of the afternoon business session, were Hon. Bishop J. D. Barber, Hon. D. W. Kyle, West Virginia, and Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois. An excellent concert program was rendered, and the speech-making followed. Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba, in a brief address spoke earnestly of the great task that faced members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Hon: Bishop J. D. Barber spoke from the text, "The lion is come up from his thicket, the destroyer of the fentile, is on his way."—Fourth Chapter. Book of Jeremiah, seventh verse. His address was cloquent and convincing and he evoked enthusiastic applause as he showed, quoting Scripture, that the day was at hand for the rise of the Negro. In the human scale a New world was at hand, the black world, and it behooved black men and women to take hold of their opportunity. The Fourth International Convention was making history for the race that would last forever. They had proclaimed a Black Jesus and he was sure in the very near future Nogroes would rise up and become, true Ethiopians, throwing off the name Negro given to them by the Caucasian race. Hon. D. W. Kyle, who was introduced by Hon. Sir William Sherrill, second assistant President-General, as one of the most fearless leaders of the race, took as his subject "Ideas." By close reasoning he showed how the Universal Negro Improvement Association was one of the greatest ideas of the age. If he were asked to name the ten greatest men of the twentieth century his choice would be Rosecvelt. Wilson, Kaiser Bill, Lloyd George, Mussolini, Lenth, Cardinal Mercler of Belgium, Foeh, Gandhi and Garvey. The speaker concluded with an eloquent plea for co-operation and sincerity. Hon. W. A. Wallace spoke from the text, "There shall come a time when every nation shall be gathered unto their people, and every people unto their country, and he that is left behind shall be thrust through." He referred to the splendid effort being made by the Jews to build up in Palestine, and said he relied that Negrros were now engaged in a similar task in spite of the policy of extermination and subjugation adopted by the dominant race. The meeting closed with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. J. H.

Name St. Add. City State Tetter Salve This Coupon Saves You Money—Use It Today INDIAN PRINCESS DAZZLES NEW YORK WITH GENES Accompanied by Maharajah Who Seeks Cure for Deafness On the tenth floor of the Waldorf- Astoria a bearded and turbaned Indian, who might have stopped out of the pages of G. A. Heaty or the Geo- graphic Magazine, paces back and forth before the apartments of Rajenda Bahadour, Maharajah of Jhind, potentate from the Punjab. The Maharajah is growing deaf and he is searching the world for a doctor or a climate which will let him hear again clearly. But his voyage across the Atlantic on the Leviathan was so tiring that he has denied himself to all callers and sends Major Singh, an officer of the Jhind army and the Maharajah's private secretary, to receive all visitors and to explain to the more curious why Her Highness the Maharanee of Jhind wears a diamond in her nose. The reason for the placing of jewelry in what Americans find an extraordinary position is very simple, the Major sold today. In India it is considered an 'attractive fashion', as earrings are considered here. The precious stone in her nose, moreover, marks the Maharasan as one of high birth, since none but the members of the highest castes are allowed to wear it. She is the daughter of another Punjab potentate. Major Singh explains that Jhind is not a large state, boasting only about 1,500 square miles of territory and 300,000 inhabitants, but that it is theoretically an independent state, under the protection of Great Britain. The Maharasan is, therefore, an absolute monarch, subject only to the infrequently exercised right of interference asserted by His Majesty's Government in London. The eleven members of the Maharajah's retinue are listed on the register of the Waldorf-Astorio simply as "party." because, as Major Singh explains reverently, "we are such inconspicuous persons." The party includes, in addition to Major Singh, His Highness' personal physician, Drs. S. P. Chatterjin, and an English, governess for the children. The three children, a boy, aged 5, the heir to the throne of Jhind, and two girls aged 5 and 3 spent a large part of yesterday gazing down at the streets of New York from the various windows in their suite and from those in the hall. They were dressed like American or English children and spoke English almost without an accent. Politica internacional SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Buen Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Ed. La doctrina de Monroe debiera desaparecer, aunque debieran conservarse suprincipio, declara el doctor Alvarez, distinguido publicista chileno, en un volumen que lleva ese título. Su importancia en la vida internacional de los estados del Nuevo Mundo es la de un factor para la promoción de la paz internacional. El doctor declara que debiera hacerse una distinción entre el aspecto político y el legal de la doctrina. Los millones de miembros de nuestra organización trabajarán en la próxima campaña electoral—Enemigos de las raza utilizan la política para entorpecer el progreso de la organización—La convención indicará el camino político que debamos seguir—Constitución de una unión política de la raza—Espíritu industrial y comercial Si ha habido desacuerdo y confusión respecto a esta doctrina, dice ha sido por dqs razones: en primer lugar, porque ciertos secretarios de estado de los Estados Unidos y publicistas de ese país han invocado la doctrina Monroe para justificar actos de imperialismo o hegemonia y segundo, porque las ideas hispanoamericanas sobre la materia no han sido tomadas en consideración. La cuarta convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo se halla actualmente en su apogeo en el Liberty Hall de este ciudad; el programa de su apertura fugi llevado a cabo con gran esplendor, y los delegados en ella reunidos procedentes de los cuatro puntos del globo han hecho tales demostraciones de sinceridad, de lealtad y de devoción por la cuasa de la organización, que nos erguimos en esta hora suprema para afrontar el mundo como una fuerza unida, con mayor determinación para sostener en la diestra el rojo, el negro y el verde, colores inmaculados de nuestro glorioso estandarte. Luego el autor procede a decir la distinción que debiera hacerse en los terminos siguientes: En la futura sociedad de naciones la aplicación de la parte política de la doctrina consistirá en hacer una distinción entre los dos continentes, lo cual no quiere decir necesariamente que ser opuestos. En tal sociedad las materias de interes mundial deberán ser reguladas por todos los países del mundo reunidos en conferencias internacionales. Las materias de interés continental deberán regularse en conferencia de los países del continente interesados. Las controversias internacionales de carácter universal y las que afectan la paz del mundo deberán considerarse por organismos políticos o legales representantes de los estados del mundo. Las de carácter continental por organismos que representen los estados del continente respectivo. El espíritu de esta magna reunión internacional de nuestro pueblo es un espíritu enteramente nuevo; el elemento que la constituye, hombres y mujeres representando sus respectivas comunidades, han puesto toda su alma y toda su imaginación en el único objeto supremo: una raza emancipada y una patria redimida. Hagamos votos para que este espíritu se acreciente más y más durante el presente mes y para que la confusión no penetre en el ánimo de los que componen este gran conclave, del cual indudablemente ha de dimanar la realización de todas y cada una de nuestras aspiraciones en no lejano dia, dependiendo principalmente en el nuevo espíritu de determinación que ha tomado posesion de nuestro elemento conciente. Entre el gran número de puntos trascendentales que serán sometidos a discusión, consta la formación de la unión política del negro, la cual será el clarín de los cuatrocientos millones de la raza. Es imprecindiblemente necesario el que tengamos una organización política poderosa para que exprese la opinión de nuestro pueblo, con el intento en estaEngoa en que este pa se prepara para su gran campaña electoral. En noviembre de este año cuatro millones de miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra han de votar exclusivamente por hombres, partido 6 principios cuyo sentimiento concuerde con el ideal de la organización. Sus miembros no han de dar por mas tiempo su voto infructuosamente, sino que ha de ser usado como un arma de defensa propia para la raza en general. Respecto a la parte legal de la doctrina, el doctor Alvarez declara que consistiria en la solemne reafirmación y sancion por todos los estados, de la América de los cinco principios contentidos en un proyecto para la creación de una unión continental sometida por el mismo Alvarez al secretario general del American Institute of International Law en la segunda sesión reunida en la Habana en 1917. Estos derechos fundamentales del continente americano, como se titula el proyecto, si los proclaman los Estados Unidos pueden ser la base, de una escuela Panamericana, llamada a ejercer gran influencia en el futuro desenvolimiento del derecho internacional. Los partidos políticos que actualmente aspiran a adquirir el voto de nuestro elemento para de ese nudo tener mas asegurada su victoria, deben realizar desgostos momentos que dicho voto no está en el mercado p.a la venta; los politiqueros de la raza no tienen ya más nada que vender porque a nadie representan, sino a ellos mistas individualmente. Hemos de votar unánimemente y vota para hechar a los enemigos de la raza fuera de los puestos que han escalado, debido a la sincera cooperación de esta hemos de votar en tal dirección para demostrarles que ya no nos pueden insultar, tratarnos indignamente y esperar que les demos nuestro voto. Si el sufragio de nuestro elemento tiene algún valor, este será notado en las elecciones generales del presente año. Al referirse a la recomendación del quinto congreso panamericano de que debiera renudarse la labor de la Comisión Internacional de Juristas, interrupida por la guerra, para codificacion del derecho internacional y la cual se reuniria en Río autonero el año entrante, dice el derec Mediante la codificacion del de internacional esta a punto aun, resen una nueva fase. Más de codificio de las materias que han dial o ame sean de interes numerose nuevosno, pueden establentes pueden copiios, o los existarlos con flicarse para conque prevalecen las y practicas nente: habiendo nuestro continternacional su ori el derecho en Europa, ha de desarrollo ahora, modificado y construirse los estados del Nuevo lado por Panamericanismo internio. El es egoista y lejos de tender I no ticularidad para el continentearal contrario a hacer todos susclecipios universales. De esta masi los estados americanos logadoptar un codigo de derecho, na rmalmente que ejercerca una influcia considerable en el desenviendo del derecho internacional pesar de que tenga en mientes resolamente en los estados americanos ciones generales del presente presente Existe un gran sentimiento de lealtad en todos y cada uno de los miembros de esta organización, y este se revela al responder ellos al primer toque de llamada. No estamos aun autorizados para determinar la dirección que tome el voto de nuestro elemento; esto está a cargo y será decidido oficialmente por la convención. Ya sea este dirijido al campo demócrata, al campo republicano o al campo independiente será colocado en la urna en pro de aquellos hombres, de aquellas medidas, de aquellos principios que tiendan a beneficiar a la organización y a la raza. Hay además otros tantos puntos de interés vital, los cuales serán discutidos desapasionadamente con el espiritu liberal que impera en la convención. impera en la convención. En esta organización hay sitio para todo decendiente de Etiopia con la buena intención de contribuir al progreso de su raza; los renegados se alejan, los traidores están temerosos y los vividores no ven esperanza alguna, pero los sinceros y leales han de hallar siempre confraternidad en sus filas. Al reunirnos nuevamente en esta ciudad como representantes de nuestro pueblo, el cual nos ha seleccionado para la defensa y protección de sus intereses, recurrimos a ese mismo pueblo que representamos para que coopere al mayor éxito de esta nuestra magna reunión internacional, con todo cuanto esté a su alcance en sentido moral y material. Promesas de partido La campaña electoral democrata prove por la mayor atención a la declaración por la independencia inmediata de las Filipinas. El texto oficial, actualmente en preparación, contendra una energía declaración en pro de la independencia, en la cual han colaborado los comisionados filipinos. moral y material. - La nueva corporación naviera, auxiliar de esta organización, solicita préstamos con el objeto de poner en práctica su programa de transportación. Ella aspira a obtener vapores que recorran todas las vias marítimas, estableciendo un intercambio y conduciendo nuestro comercio alrededor del mundo. En posesión de estos medios de transportación, hemos de reedificar indiscutiblemente nuestras industrias y dar de ese modo ocupación a millones de la raza. Es un deber que tenemos contraido con la presente y con las futuras generaciones, y hemos de cumplirlo progresando industrial y comercialmente. Si aspiramos a convertirnos en un gran pueblo, si queremos sobrevivir eternamente, tenemos que basarnos en una fundación solida. Tal es la nota sobresaliente de la cuarta reunión internacional de nuestro pueblo. La declaración dirá en parte: El partido democrata, manteniendo como sagrados e inviolables los principios de los fundadores de la república ha combatido desde el principio la política de la administración republican de gobierno al pueblo filipino sin su consentimiento. Después de hacer una recapitulación sobre la ley Jones y la certificación del presidente Wilson de que las tlas Filipinas han logrado una tener un gobierno estable, el tinto continúa: La cuestión principal en el problema filipino es por lo tanto si el pueblo de los Estados Unidos cumple no su palabra con las Filipinas. El partido democratico desde la escapación por los Estados Unidos del archipiélago filipino, ha siempre exteriorizado el sentimiento en todas las plataformas adoptadas desde el año 1900, que debe otorgarse a los filipinos su independencia, a que tan honorablemente se han hecho acreedores. El partido republicano ha abogado por lo contrario y es significante observar que en su ultima convención de Cleveland por la vez primera, considero el problema filipina a la misma luz y con la misma visión que el partido democratico la ha considerado desde que comenzó la soberania de los Estados Unidos en las islas y su plataforma prometió la definitiva independencia para el archipiélago. El partido democrata fue mucho más lejos en su ultima convención pues nuestro partido prometió a la concesión de la independencia inmediata, como consecuencia directa de la administración satisfactoria de la isla por el presidente Wilson y el governor general Harrison. Es halagador notor que durante el tiempo en que el pueblo filipino se le permitió la iniciativa, por la administración democrata a manejar sus propios asuntos, satisfacieron las más grandes expectativas. En pro de la paz universal La presentación de los alemanes en Londres marcará otro paso importante en la evolución de la paz europea. Por el convenio Herriot, a que se llegó el sábado pasado, Francia renunció el derecho individual de proceder en contra de Alemania. Por invitación a los alemanes los aliases han convenido en principio, por fin; en la idea de que las cuestiones europeas pueden solucionarse, sólo por consentimiento de todos. Esto representa un progreso efectivo, pero está aún muy lejos de una solución, y sólo puede producir un decepción quiénes no dieron su verdadero valor al plan Dawes. Es plan puede sólo acarrear la paz a Europa si se administra por hombres preparados a aprovechar su flexibilidad. Tratándolo como una rigida linea de escalonamiento de pagos mirado como un programa literal del dinero que se puede pagar y de los bonos que se pueden lanzar jamereceria el apoyo que ha obtenido. El plan tiene tantas perspectivas sólo porque los hombres que le apoyan y lo entienden mejor son también hombres que saben que Europatiene que ser llevada blandamente a la razón y al acuerdo. Esa es atra forma de deci que el plan Dawes puede ser solo interpretado por hombres de gran buen deo y generosidad de mente. El plan no es automatico. Está lleno de portillos. Tendrá que ser vigilado por quienes pusieron la tranquilidad de Europa sobre todas las demas consideraciones. Porque este plan ha de ser puesto en ejecución en una Europa en la que todavía ni Francia ni Alemania han hallado seguridad ni dominado sus extremistas. Las elecciones en Cuba Conservadores y Liberales han celebrado sus as ambleas de convenciones en la Habana, para proclamar candidatos a la presidencia en las elecciones de noviembre. Es ejemplar y digno de comentario que, en los preliminares de una conienda comicial que se anuncia emeniadisima, los liberales hayan relativo su problema en forma serena. a la democratía. tibiberales representan indiscuopu en Cuba la gran masa mientos asambicas, sus movijan castuchas internas reflela política sus resultados en decisiva.

El pary pitante. masas pal A la asamblea de la 11ª ureda currieron los liberares du cuadratos fracciones que se combina blica d dorosamente y que repres la lago de aspiraciones de grandes contes de electores. El choque se ped asamblea habia sido precedido sion enconada campana e diarios, metriings, juntas del partido y movimientos provinciales. Todo parecia indicar que se produca una ruptura, en la que el partido se dividiría en lineas netamente personalistas. No ha sido así. Los partidarios del candidato y susciendo, el coronal Mendista, acompañar la victoria de su rival, el general Machado. Y los amigos de date, en transacción, levaron a la candidatura el nombre del jugarteniente adversario, señor La Mendista. La asamblea de Madison Square Garden, o la asamblea de Cleveland, no podía haber regalado sus problemas mejor. De hecho, en verdad, la asamblea democrática de junio no lo hizo, siquiera, tan bien tan serena y tan sinceramente. Este ejemplo de liberalismo cubano, dejando jugar en toda plenitud los recursos del régimen democrático y encontrando, dentro de el la solución necesaria, es consolador y digno de mención. Es cierto que en no pocos, en la mayoría si se quiere, de nuestros pueblos, las democracías viven en una atmosfera más o menos velada de ficción y de tetralidad sin apoyo en la realidad. Es verdad que podrian senalarse muchos casos de pueblos de nuestra raza en que el personalismo vence siempre a la idea, y en que los partidos son simples coaliciones de personas concertadas para la elevación del hombre que mejor sirva sus intereses individuales. Pero, como en Cuba, ahora, empieza ya, a haber naciones de nuestra habla en las que el instinto ya que no la cultura popular, ha sabido asimilar la esencia del régimen de nicaragico y encontrar en su práctica sincera, la mejor solución a los problemas nacionales. Y uno de los más graves problemas en nuestros pueblos es la eliminación del personalismo eh la política. Los liberales cubanos deben estar satisfechos de si mismos. Labor de un diplomático. Dando gran credito a C. B. Warren por el restablecimiento de las relaciones más cordiales que nunca existieron entre este país y Mejico el presidente Coolidge acepto oficialmente la renuncia que presentó del cargo de embajador. Warren hizo una declaración en que expresa corresponde a la administración del presidente ei haber colocado en mejores bases las relaciones internacionales de los Estados Unidos, aluidiendo especialmente a la solución de problemas urgentes en el extremo orient y en Mejico y mediante el plan Dawes. El president dijo en parte: Vuestra insistión a Mejico ha obtenido el más hispano exito. Habeis resultado muchas de las intrincadas cuestiones en pro de la protección de las vidas y propiedades mortegranicas y de la solución de las reclamaiones controvertidas. Warren paso breve revista a la atención internacional desde el principio de la administración del presidente Harding. Expuso que la anterior administración de a Harding algunos lamentables problemas diplomaticas, muchos de los canales no podían atribirse a la guerra. Llamo particularmente la atención a la política de vigilante gpera de los Estados Unidos con respecto a Mejico. Tratado que da derecho a expropiar La república de Panama celebrará dentro de pocos días el décimo aniversario de la apertura del canal al commercio del mundo. En este período ha ido aumentando anualmente el volumen de negocios practicable a través del canal, especialmente el año último, en que las actividades commerciales han sido mayorres, tanto en el número de buques como en el tonelaje y los derechos recolectados. Aproximadamente la cuarta parte del tonelaje así como de los derechos recaudados en los diez años, esta acreditado al año 1924. El aumento significa grandes cosas' para al futuro. No puede predecirse con exactitud hasta donde alcanzara ese comercio, pero los planes que se preparan daran abasto a las crecientes demandas internacionales. Uno de los pasos para proveer por el futuro eugrandecimiento del canal es la orden del presidente, por la cual los Estados Unidos agregan un área adicional de vientidos millas cuadradas de territorio de la república de Panamá, o sea la hoya del lago de Alajuela, a la zona del canal. Se pedirá al congreso en la proxima o síntom que autorice la erogación nectria para reembolzar a Panamá y imprimen particulares el valor de las cia inexpopiadas. Uptura, que os se formará como iria en de esta adquisición anáel c mil millones de pies cuidarios el ag al actual deposit, com durante la estación de verano, con la capil so cruz que podrá hacer para la necessidades hasta 1955. Má alii de esa fecha no pueden profetizar los inquisieron peritos norteamericanos. Es posible que cuando usan el tiempo en que debe aumentarse el tráfico se obtenga alguna nueva reserva de agua, aunque es probable que se construyam más compuerertas a lo largo de las actuales. Hácese hincapé en que su construcción no ofrecerá dificultad insuperable a los ingenieros y que pueden empulderse y completarse a tiempo para hacer frente a las demasas del comercio y sin tener que hacer con la operación del canal mientras se estén construyendo las nuevas compuerertas. Las autoridades del canal creen que antes del año de 1955 parasan anualmente a través del canal cincuenta mil de teneladas. Si bien el canal de Panama ha probado ser una empresa solvente, provechosa comercialmente y de valor inestimable para los Estados Unidos desde el punto de vista militar, esta nación desea estar en los terminos más animosos con la república de la cual se adquire la zona del canal y remover todas las causas de friecion actual o probable. Por tanto, actualmente se negocia un tratado entre los Estados Unidos y Panama referente a ciertas cuestiones que han sido materia de controversia entre los dos gobiernos respecto de los derechos de los Estados Unidos en la zona del canal y otras cuestiones. Uno de los puntos del proveedad tratado se refiere a la adquisición por los Estados Unidos de más territorio panamene para uso del canal en el futuro, sosteniendo Banam que debe fijarse desde alba la porción de tierra que los Estados Unidos puedan expropriar, de manera definitiva, mientras que los Estado, Unidos alegan que el tratado de 1903 les dara derecho a expropriar todas las tierras que curan necesarias para la construcción, mantenimiento, operación, higiene y protección de la dicha zona del canal. Glorias del siglo XIX Una de los conquistas que michopran al siglo proximo pasó conquista, que sin ginero de duda atenua la fama de cruel e inhumane que aún lleva a cuestas el hombre, es aquella que puso fin a la céclayitud. Hasta principios del último tercio del siglo XIX, existió aquella tomina salvaje de tratamiante a los semejantes, y era de devenir, al tiempo mono que los principios liberal y de democracia regían ya a mucho pueblo, numerosos seres, humanos eran cordados a los plazas y mercados y venidlos como se tueran borges.

SAMEDI, LE 16 AOUT, 1924 Quatre milliones de Négres—Membres de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre— Poivent voter et travailler ensemble au mois de l'embre—Les Négres qui sont au pourvoir fort souvent sont les pirent ennemis de la Race Conteignons de la Race Negre: Saute. La Quatrième Convention. Internationale des Peuples Négres du Monde est actuellement en session. La nomenclature des faits brillants de la semaine écoulée est le gage solenel de la détermination de notre peuple d'arriver au bout de leur entreprise. Les délégués, qui représentent les diverses unités de la Race, en assemblée générale ont, et le'occasion de démontrer leur sincerité, leur fidélité et leur devotion à la cause de la Universal Negr Improvement Association. Revue d'un cachet de dignité parlementaire. L'esprit de cette Convention est quelque chose d'unique dans les annales de notre histoire. Nous n'avons jamais vu ni entendu jusqu'à cette heure les raits dont nous citions les temoinns de la part de la foule recieie à Liberty Hall. Les hommes et la femme perdant pour un instant leur individualité se sont adonnées corps, âme et esprit à leur objectif supérieur—celui de l'émancipation, la rehabilitation de la Race et de l'émancipation d'une contrée. Adressées au Supremie Auteur de nos destinées comme peuple, nos pièces requêtes pour que ce même esprit se manifeste, pendant toute la durée de la Convention. Parmi les questions vitales qui sont à l'ordre du jour, celles-ci est proimente, savoir, la création de l'Union Politique. Négre. La dite Union sera l'organe politique des 400,000,000 de Négres du unne entier. Faut-il bien, d'urgence, que nous ayons une organisation politique pour pouvoir exprimer les opinions de notre Race. Pendant l'année 1924 les 4,000,000 membres de la Universal Negro Improvement Association en Amérique voteront en bloc pour les hommes houncés pour les principes qui constituent notre ideal, comme Race. La Race Négre doit voter en masse, comme un bloc solide. Nous allons montrer à nos ennemis qu'ils ne peuvent continuer à nous insulter impeniment, à nous traiter avec indignité, et croire que nous allons les faire bénéficier de nos saffrages. Si l'urne signifie quelque chose (nous savons ce que c'est que le vote), alors on saura toute l'influence du vote de la Race. Négre en Amérique, pendant l'année en cours. Nous sommes fiers d'une chose, ce que les membres de la Universal sont fideles aux traditions précomises par notre association. Nous ne manquons pas de faire connaître en temps et qu'elle disposition nous allons prendre à l'égard du vote Négre; la Convention en décidaire. Que nous les disposons en faveur des Democrates en ou en favors des Républicaines, on en favour d'une tierce partie, c. a. d. d'un groupe indépendant, les dits votes, se seront données qu'aux hommes dont les principes sont décidiment en faveur du bien-être de la Race Négre et les intérêts commens de la Nation et de la Universal Negro Improvement Association. L'Association en Universelle pour L'Avancement de la Race Negre a de la place pour tous les membres de la Race, sans exception. Les renegres se dérobert et les traitres ont pour: mais ceux qui sont sincères ceux qui sont fideles à la Race et à ses destinées peuvent toujours trouser ver une place dans les rangs de la Universal Negro Improvement Association. Comme les delegues du peuple, assemblés en conclave, pour représenter les intérêts de la collectivité et pour-avirre l'oeuvre de la reconstitution confiance à nos soins, nous demandons aux peuples dont nous sommes les mandataires, de se缔er nos efforts afin que cette convention soit un brillant succès L'Association a un besoin de fonds pressant pour pouvoir achever son programme pour la régénération de la Race. Ceux qui ne peuvent assister à la convention peuvent,ependant, aider la cause en envoyant leurs donations afin que L'Association soit uneme de poursivre sans encombre l'oeuvre dont nous avons la charge Nous faisons également un appel en faveur de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Le navire est indispensable à la bonne reussit de notre campagne. Envoyez vos emprunts à la Black Cross Trading and Navigation Company. L'obligation pour la valeur enprenuente fortera un interêt de 5% Ian. En attendant, j'ai l'honneur être Hommage à L'Artiste, Mme. M. M. Sharpperson Young, pour ses créations ingénieuses, à l'occasion de la Quartrième Convention Internationale des Peuples Négres du Monde Parmi les personnes qui ont pris une part active dans la grande parade du premier août, et qui, par leur savoir, leur esprit d'initiative, et leurs indefatigables efforts, ont fait de cette dite parade un succès legendaire, nous citons le nom de Mme. M. M. Scharperson Young, la ligne Présidente de la Court Royale des Dames de l'Ethiopie. La Court Royale est une Société auxiliaire de la Universal Negro Improvement Association. D'une personalité gracieuse et élégante, de manières affables, douéc d'une intelligence très développée. Mme. Young est, par sa vocation et par le genie, un dissinateur de premier ordre. Cette artiste à talents rares est très habile et d'une finesse de goût très original. C'est grace à son savoir, son esprit second que la parade a été rechaussée par les divers "Floats" (Tableaux Vivants), dont les caractères historiques—"L'Ethiopie construit le Pavilion national de l'Afrique", "L'Ethiopie plaidant sa Cause devant la Ligue des Nations", "Les Infirmières de la Croix Noire"—font la gloire et l'écclat brillants de la dite parade. La section française du Negro World, envoie à l'illustre Mme. Scharperson Young, l'expression de ses plus chaleureuses félicitations pour son genie distinctif. La Race entière peut se féliciter, des talents de Mme. Young. T. S. Si une partie de l'Assemblée applaudit au geste de Gopinath, l'assassin de ce sujet britannique, c'est en.restant fidèle à la taïque du Malmaut. Le mouvement Gandhiste Les journaux, anglais exagérent à plaisir les nouvelles d'un schisme dans le mouvement national indien. Nous sommes en mesure d'affirmer que Gandhi desapprouvait le meurtre de l'Anglais M. Day, continue de conduire la conference du Bengale dans les voies de la nomenclature. D'ailleurs Gandhi annonce qu'il va prendre des mesures pour supporter à toute tentative de violence et que si le congres nationaliste indien ne le suit pas, il fondera une nouvelle organisation fidèle à ses principes de non-violence. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1984 En dépit de la laison déjà avancee, une assistance brillante, et nombreuse se pressait au dernier concert, générésement donné par notre ami Roland Hayes au bénéfice de la Ligue Universelle pour la Défense de la Race Noire, et sous la présidence de notre directeur, le Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou. Le programme était particulièrement heureux, qui comprenait notamment des oeuvres de Beethoven et de Bach et aussi quelque-unsides fauxeux "nego spirituals." Les musiciens accoupinent d'honorer en Bach le père de leur art, non pas qu'ils enlèvent leur juste prié aux écoles qui l'ont précédé les neunies gregioriens, si airiers et souples qu'ils sont comme de transparentes parés flappontes, les contpoints de la Renaissance, qui, prolongement de la supreme des architectures flamboyantes, combinent les voix humaines en mille cheveux au subtifs, les maitres du XVIII siècle, donnent toujours à nos sensibilités modernes les plus raires plaires. Mais Bach, a construit à la musique un temple achèvé et immuables, dans quelque route qu'elle s'engage désormais, elle sera jouée domine par ce divin Acropole. Miracle permanent d'un cœur merveilleusement riche, qui s'exprime naturellement dans la langue la plus severe et la plus pure. Quelles qualités une telle oeuvre, la plus surprenante réussite peut-être de l'Océant n'exige telle pas de ses interprétables. Il semblait bien qu'elle n'existe ses interprétables qu'à des âmes en en quelque sorte faconnées de longes siecles d'hérédité et de culture européennes: or un noir, d'une lingue longtemps courbée, sous le servage, et qui, a conserve pur en ses veines le sang des lointains et comme légendaires origines africaines trouve les accent et le style qui convient à l'un des chants les plus sublimes du maître d'Eisenach. Ne recevons-nous pas la de graves et fécondes leconz? Elles nous disent la sottise des lutte-nations et des haines de race et rendent un céatant témoignage à l'universalité de L'art, qui rend une mère ferveur les hommes que séparent les montagnes et les mers. Es satisfaire de depreindre l'émotion que donne Roland Haves à son auditeur quand il chante les "négro spiritual" ? Tres différences de celles des jazz (à qu'il faut bien d'ailleurs rendre hommage) s'en interpretation jailit des profondeurs les plus amonnantes du tempérament négre; alors que les jazss mettent en valeur des qualités de rhythme, de vie fréquie et de débordance. Haves en exprise plutôt la religiosité. Thumanite douleuruse et inquice. Il fait vibrer en nous des cordes, séretes et fontaines, dont le son nous est à la fois orange et familier; à leur appel anguise, nous nous sententant d'une même mère; humbies, amoureux d'une chaine dont l'origine et la funne nous également inconnue. Le 10 anniversaire de la victoire de la Marne Le 10e anniversaire de la victorie de la Marine ser celebre à Meaux, le dimanche 7 septembre. M. Lugol, maire de Meaux, sénateur de Seine-et-Marne, a demande à M. Herriot de présider cette commemoration, à laquelle la municipalité se propose de donner un trés-grand éclat. Le président du conseil a accepte. vons nous acquitter et permettre ainsi qu'un accord soit possible. Nous avons contre nous non seulement les nationalistes français, mais aussi les nationalistes, allenands. Notre devoir est de renverser cette autre Bastille, celle de la haine. M. Gumbel, professeur à Heidelberg; lui succéde et proclame également la nécessité de l'union entre les peuples. Il demande en outre que l'Allemagne paie les réparations. M. Grumbach, prononce ensuite en allemand un discours tres applaude et reclame une minute de reechement pour tous les miorts de la guerre, puis il lit une resolution disant notamment: — Les rapports de voisinage entre les deux grandes Républiques d'Allemagne et de France constituent une des conditions essentielles de l'établissement de la paix définitive. La réalisation des réparations justifiées de la République Francee d'une part, le respect de l'indépendance et de l'junité économique et politique de la République Allemande d'autre part, procureront aux deux pays la sécurité à laquelle leurs peuples ont droit et permettront l'antisément des nationalismes. Des discours de MM. Stecker, professeur à l'Université d'Jena, et Barthélemmy, professeur au lycée de Mayance, ont clôturé cette magnifique réunion. MORT DE SIR JOHN EDWARD BRUCE M. John Edward Bruce vient de mourir à l'age de soixante-huit ans. Ce brave héro de la Race qui vient de déposer ses armes était, malgré les désavantages de son jeune âge, un journaliste de première ordre: Editeur de plusieurs journaux et écrivain de haut valeur, M. Bruce simpose par sa haute moralité et par ses qualités intellectuelles. Homme de conviction et d'une intrepidite sans égale, M. Bruce laisse ce monde avec les regrets de ses nombreux anis. A la veuve éplorée de Sir John Edward Bruce, nous envoyons nos plus vives condoléances. La section Française du Negro World s'associe partiellement à ce deuil qui vient de frapper tous les journaux de notre Race, R. I. P. L'Empire du Négus cherche son Indépendance Economique-Protestations de la France gient ete aimantes par ce projet. Cela est d'autant plus, vraisemblable que le Gouvernement abyssin a accountu d'attirer l'étranger par l'appat des monopoles. Cette eventualité de l'obtention de privileges dans un pays ou les ressources immediatamente exploitables son nombrebres n'a pu manquer d'allécher tel ou tel consortium. (Le Courrier des Etats Unis.) Le gouverneimem ehiopien, desireux de se créer un débouché maritime direct, a engage des tracations avec le gouverneimem français en vue de se faire concercer à Djibouti même une enclave, attribution, en toute propriété à L'Abyssinie, d'une partie de l'orere port. Eh bien!-que le monde financier apprendre donc, s'il ne le sait, qu'en Abyssinie, plusieurs monopoles ont eie vendus deja et le Gouvernementussin s'est arrangé, chaque fois, pour en paralyser l'exploitation, les reprendre au moment oui les bénéficiaires, de guerre lasse, les ontabandonnes et les alienner ensuitepour recommencer le ménue jeu avecles nouveaux acheteurs. Ainsi, constate dans la "Correspondance Universelle" M. Ernest Outrey, deputé de Cochinchine, l'Ethiopie obtientrait son independence économique, au détriment de la France. Quant au Gouvernement abyssin, lui, a oui vise-t-il? Dijbonti, en effet, a été créé de toutes pièces par la France, qui avaient besoin, pour ses lignes de navigation de FOccan Indien, de Extreme Orient et du Pacifique, d'un pignon descale à la sortie de la mer Rouge. Cest en 1885 que nous nous sommes établis sur cette route, n'ai été édificiés alors que de vares huttes de pêcheurs Issas. A la fave de cette création française, Dijbonti ne tarde pas à devenir un pong de transit important, drainant du Hammar; dix ans plus tard, 4,000 habitants se pressaient déjà dans la nouvelle aggléération. Puis, ce fut de 1894 à 1917, la construction, par une Société Française, d'une ligne de chemins de fer reliant notre port à Addis-Abbaba et, en 1898, 10,000 habitants peuplaient la colonie; le recensement de 1921 accuse 65,000 habitants, compte tenu, cela va sainire, de l'élement nomade, très important dans ce pays. A accouvoir ses échanges, à procurer à son commerce extérieur des facilités nouvelles? Non, il vise tout simplement à réaliser un bénéfice immédiat pour subvenir aux besoins personnels de l'Impatience, du Prince Regeint, des Ras, et des différents dignitaire qui manquent constaint de ressources. L'Abyssinie, certes, est, intéressante par sa population, ses richeses naturelles, la situation que nous nous y sommes créée; mais il n'existe pas de Gouvernement abyssinien capable de prendre des responsabilités. Le pays se complément déorganisé, peu sur pour le Prince Régout lui-même et cela est si vrai que les célibié voyage, il lijge plus prudent d'émener avec lui, comme antant d'otages, les ras dont l'Amédition, en son absence, pourrait être tentée. Le maximum que, raisonnablement, nous puissions faire pour ce pays c'est lui consentir un crédit anisié. L'age que possible; mais ce à qu'on ne saurions consentir, sauf l'écest à l'Fabandon an profit de l'Ahysinie, des interêts qui constituent la base necine de notre influence politique et économique à la cote des Somalis. Le commerce general réflète une progression parallele; il était de 5, 284,055 francs en 1899; de 90,000,000 en 1916; de 142,964,071 en 1918; de 203,157,510 francs en 1919; de 34,852,444 francs en 1920, et depuis quelques années déjà, par son trafic commercial, Dijlhouv vient au quatrième rang de nos possessions, devrage de pou par Madagascar. Et nous serions bien insensés de mois alliser influencer par cetteorte de chantage qui consiste pour le Ras Tafari à voyager au Anglaterte et en balie comme pour insimer que ses offres iront à d'autres nations si la France ne les accente pas. En ce qui concerne la navigation, le port de Dijonhti a été frecuent au cours de l'année 1923, par 315 navires, dont 11 navires de quaterel 304 navires de commerce parmi lesquels le pavillon français tient le premier rang; la comparaison avec l'année 1922 fait ressortir pour 1923 une différence en plus de 52 navires à l'entrée et 49 à sortie. L'éthiopie, qui n'est pas une moussous laisser un influencer par cette admission dans la Société des Nations, meux traité amis que LE Gyppe, par exemple, qui敛容 diment beaucoup plus d'homme génére dins ses institutions, ne sent maître et se déveloper en oblige de, appétit, nonveux. L'Éthiopie, grâce à notre chien de fer et à notre port, a vu son essor économique de développer prodigieusement, elle est donc notre oldiege. Or, aujourd'hui, sous le fallaieux protrese que la voie ferre est question et pour 7. Se construite en territoire chériopin, et pour 1. Se seulement en territoire français on trouve tout naturel que de non-velles faculties, allant jusqu'élabourd de nos intérêts, soient acoudis par notre petite colonie à l'Abssime. La Française est bien divisée en disciplines signes. Enseigne de l'Etude que les conventions de collecte. POUR LA PAIX Les peuples doivent s'unir dans la justice et pour C'est précisément parce que nous ne possédons dans cette partie de l'Afrique qui une maigre bande de terre que nous ne saurions consentir, sans danger pour notre influence, à l'abandon du mouindre hectare. Nous avons conçu avec l'Thiopie des traités nets, bien adaptés aux intérêts conjugués de l'Empire du Négus et de la France. Grâce à ces conventions, nous étions garantis contre, toute inimixion étrangère, contre toute dépossession d'aucune nature et, corréativement, nous assurions à l'Ethiopie par-notre chemin de fer, le débouche sur la mer qui lui était indispensable. - Mayenne, 13 juillet - La manifestation pour la poix qui a eu lieu en matin au paré municipal de Mayenne a été favorise par un temps superbe. Cinq a six mille personnes se trouvaient reunes. - M. Ferdinand Bunson, président de la Ligue des Droits de l'Homme, a pris d'abord la parole et indiqué le but de la manifestation: - Nous sommes ici, duil, pour affirmer solemnement que l'heure est venu des grands changements. - Faisant au lieu au traité de Vergaille, l'orateur dit que le pape entre les nations, qui dénonte leur volotime d'eu finir avec la guerre, c'est la declaration du droit des peuples. Dans quel but, aujourd'hui蒸 draition modifier cette charte synal lagmatique qui satisfait les deux pays? On a parlé de la nécessité de renforcer l'amitié qui nous lie déjà à l'Abyssinie? . Cette assertion gratuite ne trompera personne; derrière cette explication de sentimentalité quasi-absurde, il y a, n'en doutons pas, la main de l'Etranger; troublires pas que l'Angletterre pessaye d'internationaliser le chemin de fer lorsque nous avons engagement pour sa construction, des pourpatiers avec-Menelick; troublires pas tous les efforts faits, depuis quelque temps, par le Cabinet de Saint-Janes pour detourner au profit du port britannique de Zeilah le trafic croissant de Diiibouti. H. proclame la necessité d'une union sincère entre tous les peuples et souhaite que toute haine disparaisse. En terminant, il declaree: — Nous pensons que ce n'est pas mpriser notre pays que de dire qu'il a quelque chose an-dessus de la France et au-dessus de l'Allemagne, c'est l'humanité; au-dessus d'elle, c'est la justice parlant au nom de la conscience humaine. — Le député socialiste allemand Bretschneider prend ensuite la parole et remercier M. Buisson, dont toute la vie a été consacrée à travailler pour la paix. La création à Dibouti d'une clave abyssine, c'est evidemment, pour la politique anglaise. La perspective d'une diminution de l'influence française, l'enlissement et eutère la faillite de notre petite possession. Par ailleurs, des groupement financiers européens ont certaine M. Breitscheid demande aux Allemands de comprendre la France, qui a des regions devastées et à qui l'on doit des reparations: — C'est pourquoi, dit-il, nous de- Par Georgez-Henri Rivière Dans Les Contiments PROGRAMME DE LA QUATRIE CONVENTION INTERNATIONALE DES PEUPLES NEGRES DU MONDE EN SESSION A NEW YORK, DU 1er au 31 AOUT, 1924 LES GRANDS PROBLEMES QUI AFFECTENT LA RACE SERONT DISCUTES Tous les chemins conduiront à Liberty Hall, New York, le 1er août. a. c. où le quatrième Congrès Mondial del Peuples Nègres aura lieu.

But David was fully justified. An oath committing the use of one's powers against God or anything that is good and righteous is unlawful, and a man who will throw off the restraint of such an act and line up with the opposite side, representing truth and righteousness, is worthy of most supreme exaltation. It may again be argued that Abner acted in his own selfish interest when he abandoned Saul and that, although he knew that God's purpose was to establish David over all Israel, he Abner, had set up Ishbohelte king over the eleven tribes in opposition to David. It may still further be argued that the known will of God on Abner's part was but a cognizant pretext for the gratification of his own revenge and ambition. It must be argued that Abner's tardy obedience to the truth was unreal and therefore unacceptable to God, however helpful it may have been to David. But of course the world is bound to have its way for a time at least. But the outstanding fact in the life of Abner is that he enlisted on God's side and remained faithful to God's cause even to his last day. "And the king said unto his servant, know ye that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel." May I be permitted, my friends, to borrow three words from David, and tell you of our friend Lovi Jenkins Coppin, that a prince and a great man has fallen this day among us, except that Coppin had in a sense a truer and more perfect title to his princely estate than had Abner. Abner was made prince by royal decree and Coppin himself was a prince of the realm. He was born a prince and the princely qualities everywhere were manifested in his life and his relationship with his fellowmen. He maintained himself in a princely attitude. His life throughout, nothing mean, nothing miserly, ever characterized his action. He came into the world with the strivings of his soul always upward and he never once stepped down. Poverty was his early companion and he converted it turned it into untold service. Never has there been a pall or shadow around the humble home in Cecilitown, Md., in which he was born. There his mother acquainted him with the letters of the alphabet, and there also she introduced him to the ways of the Lord. I had the honor of knowing his mother—one of those modest, retiring women whom you found in goodly numbers years ago—a devout, praying Christian, she was thoroughly consecrated to her family and to God. She had a way of storing away in her heart and mind the things worthwhile and communicating them to her children, and thus make them strong. The other was himself a very thrifty man, both by what the son says of him in his "Unwritten History," and from what he related himself to me last winter touching a family incident. He said that one of his aunts lived in Delaware at a point not far from Cedarown, and was accustomed to come over as she could to visit her sister. In these days people of color in the slave states were not allowed to go without permission across one slave from another. But presuming that the fact that the distance was short she ventured to come over into Cedarown without that pardon, it was discovered that the seg- in Their Town and Earn a Good Commission to Use a Their Own Pocket Money All the enemy Negro Newspapers are fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

The mother stopped furfard and apprised the small earnings he had managed to lay side, from the small jobs he had done from time to time, and only thus was the family spared from greater embarrassment. Lovl increased his stock of learning through his own efforts and in his young manhood days after the emancipation he taught school in Delaware, having for his companion in the business John Stevens Durham, who in after years became one of the editors of the Evening. Lulletin in this city, and afterward U. S. Plenipotentiary Minister to Haiti. It was while teaching in Delaware that he received an impression to a call to the Christian ministry. He started with the aim of making full proof of his holy calling and he said to me on several occasions that there were ministers whom he set up as examples and marks which he desired to reach because of their great learning and great pulpit power, and among them was the Rev. T. G. Steward. He said he wanted to be a minister of that class. That he fulfilled his ambition is easily settled in your mind, if you ever heard him preach. He was one of the most accomplished preachers not only of our church or race, but that America ever produced. Always exegetical, lacking up the word of God with the same word of God, he had the art of making the Bible preach itself and he never failed to lift his hearers up to the altitude and one never left his service without feeling illuminated and enlightened in the scriptures and such subjects as tend to help to make the scriptures clear and compreensible. He was an ardent student, especially along the line of his calling, though I have known him to devote time to the works that constitute what may be called the American classics and English and others of other grades. He was at home in any subject you might take up with him: whether history, ancient or modern; whether the sciences or theology, or biography, and he was perfectly at home with the ancient classics, and he kept himself posted on all current events. He was not only what we call a well educated man, but a learned man. One of his most remarkable gifts was in making use of all that he had read and making what he attempted to say so practical and simple to everybody that listened to him that truly it was an education in itself to have had a day's association with him. He was a ready writer. I have seen him ask to be excused for a few minutes and bring back with him documents and addresses as finished and comprehensible and pointed as ever come from our most advanced writers and statesmen. His several books bespeak a mind vastly cultivated and sustained and pitches always to a high key. The style of his first books lay along the side of that of Thomas A. Kempis and of H. Francis of Assine—a style reflecting the atmosphere of the cloister—somewhat mystic, giving a meaning far more extended than the word used would suggest. But one who had been accustomed to read after him would not be slow to discover how more direct and rugged his style became after his sojourn of four years in South Africa, especially should that; one be convinced after reading his "Relation of Baptized Children to the Church," and his "Key to Scriptural Interpretation." He should read his, South African Letters. I have often thought was that change to be attributed to the configuration of South Africa with its rugged mountains or to the rugged character of the work that he had to do in that land. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 tastes, a man who possessed a deep sense of proportion and of relationship as to persons and things. He abhored extravagance in speech or diction. He frowned down upon anything that looked like display. The truly necessary things for him at all times, no waste, no excess, no loss for time. Everything had to stand for something. And yet, he was a most generous man, generous in his affection and sympathy... He was always in administration to human needs. He lived well and surrounded himself with abundant comfort, and no person suffered or was pinched by poverty or troubled by misrepresentation but that he would be there with his means to relieve that person, or with his great strength and influence to defend and rescue that person. He had a fondness for children, a fondness that amounted almost to adoration. In his pastorates children were the objects of his first care. He was always stirred that parents should so far neglect their children as to let them become victims to such delusions as that the dancing floor or the card table were suitable places for the children; and I often heard him say: "I would sooner bury my child than see her at a dance." He was a Methodist to his very bones and marrow, and to him the teachings of the fathers and God's revealed word were the only words that could lead to excellence in this life and to happiness in the life to come. He was a most devoted friend. Though a man with pronounced conviction, and though his stalwart frame measured every inch as much in courage as it did in stature, he often subordinated his ideas to those of his friends to avoid misunderstanding or offense. He had the art of keeping his friends, and his interest and love for them was unbounded. On his return from South Africa, we were taken off our feet as we saw him pulling over the old rough cobblestone paved streets of Baltimore looking up his old friends of twenty years and more back when he pastored Bethel Church. Baltimore, and the greeting given them would have moved a poet, and challenged an artist, so cordial and fuleghe he was. He was to a marked degree a public spirited man and loved his race with a passionate love. Nothing that was calculated to advance the race along any line, whether of education or economics, whether of a social or political character, but that without reserve he would line up behind it. If it required his money to make that thing go, he would put his money in it. If that money went wrong, he would put his money behind another. If it was something to lift up the Negro in his social or political life, he would lay by it until something was done. He was in common parlance a "live wire" where he lived and a mighty factor in shaping its life. He was a man among princes and the people respected and honored him. He was the high priest over his household. He would lift up his hands in holy reverence before God in their behalf, he would plan for their welfare and provide for their comfort, but never for one moment condescending to them. He was their brother, uncle, cousin, and all else, and they realize today that their best earthly friend has passed away. He loved and honored and respected his wife and baby in the glow of his fireside. To be introduced into that circle and allowed to tarry a while was in itself a benediction. His contribution to the church as a minister and bishop is a heritage that shall grow more and more precious with the years. He was dignified, able, progressive, and brotherly. The most difficult position a man may fill in this present day is that of a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. There is no place perhaps where a man's motives are more misunderstood. his acts subjected to more severe misinterpretation, and has labors more overlooked or underestimated. But when Bishop Levi Jenkins Coppin's labors shall have been measured, not in the light of pur prejudices and not with preconceived ideas and notions, but in a calm, im partial and judicial spirit, men will say that he was a rare character, like unto whom we do not meet every day, and we may say today that the world has been made richer and better for his having lived in it. Tuskegee Institute Opens With 648 Teachers June 3.—The fifteenth annual session of the Summer School for Teachers opened Monday, June 2, at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, with an opening day enrollment of 648 teachers. This number is twelve less than the total enrollment of last year, and 32 short of the record-breaking attendance of 1922. Registration opened Saturday morning and at the close Monday afternoon there was yet a large number to be registered and still others are expected to arrive during the second week. These indications point to the largest enrollment in the fifteen years of summer school work at Tuskegee Institute. The unprecedented attendance this year is due largely to the extension of the summer school session from six weeks to twelve weeks and the crediting of the work done during the summer session toward a regular Tuskegee Institute Diploma.

August. 4.—Communism is working well in a section of Africa, according to an official report submitted to the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations. The former German colony of Southwest Africa, now under the mandate of the Union of South Africa, is the district where Communism has been tried among the natives. M. Hoffmeyr, administrator, told the commission that extensive agricultural reserves have been set apart for the population. These reserves have a total area of 20,000,000 acres and the tribes live on this land under a regime of Communism. Irrigation, agricultural equipment and public schools have been provided. The natives are under a governor who is assisted by a local council. From the New York Herald Tribune LONDON.—Will an American some day control the Nile River? The prospect is not so remote as it might seem, and has been brought prominently before the British public by no less a person than Viscount Grey in connection with the new demand made by Zaghlul Pasha, Egypt's Premier, for dominion over the Sudan. LONDON—Will an American The prospect is not so remote as it prominently before the British Viscount Grey in connection with Pasha, Egypt's Premier, for dom Tails demand, which has been pressed more or less strongly ever since 1832, elicited a prompt refusal from the British government, Lord Parmor, the Labor Lord President of the Council, declaring in the House of Lords, "Great Britain is not going to abandon the Sudan in 'any seagate whatsoever.' With remarkable unanimity. Conservative and Liberal statesmen and publicists backed up this declaration, Lord Grey, however, while agreeing that Egypt should have no say concerning the government of the Sudan, admitted Egyptian interest in rationing of Nile water. A glance at the map will explain this to most Americans, who, like most, English, may vaguely think of the Sudan as a place where "Fuxzy Wuzzy," of Kipling's poems, comes from. Government Since 1899 Since 1899 African territory south of the 22d parallel of latitude has been governed jointly by Egypt and Great Britain—which, one might add, means governed largely by Great Britain. It is perfectly obvious that whoever controls this territory controls the sources of the Nile, and with them in the last resort the fortunes and prosperity of all lower Egypt, clear to Alexandria. "As The London Star" remarks, "The Sudan is going to be one of the world's great cotton-growing areas." Irrigation, however, is absolutely necessary, and water for irrigation must come from the Nile. For instance, it is estimated the dam on the Blue Nile, at Makwar, 170 miles south of Khartoum, will open 100,000 acres for cotton growing. The Egyptians are apprehensive lest the diversion of this water should diminish their own supplies. Hence Lord Grey suggests a joint Anglo-Egyptian commission to control Nile water, "of which, following an admirable precedent, an American might be made impartial chairman." "We must insure that Egypt does not starve the Sudan and that the Sudan does not starve Egypt," said Lord Grey. If this suggestion should mature, and there is no reason why eventually it should not, there would be created a post for some American—a post which, through its implication, would mean control of the destinies of 18,000,000 persons, inhabiting 1,350,000 square miles of territory. The appointment of an American to such a position would add a fresh chapter to the story of the Sudan, which during the last hundred years has been largely trapped. It was in 1810 Every Man Who Has Lost Force of You Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery Years Should Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is aside to have made by a scientific study of Scabian mountain people who, scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery will help scientists to all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor in the internal glands and, if these glands are blocked, the men might live forever and adorns such as tread, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervousness, poor memory, premature scentility, scrawny neck, reglessness at night, pain, headache, sleepiness, dependency, etc., should disappear. The difficulty encountered by the medical staff is the need to make the hair grow for the glands. This new discovery is simple, perfectly harmless, inexpensive, and can be used.

In 1888, after several abortive rallings, the Mabist movement swept the Egyptians from the country. In the '98s the Egyptians sought British aid, and Kipling's "Sergeant Whatismine" began training the Egyptian levies. By September, 1898, the British under Kitchener had com- pleted the reconquest of the Sudan— and very nearly precipitated war with France, incidentally, over the Fashoda incident. Since that time the develop- ment of the Sudan has continue-under joint Anglo-Egyptian control. When, at the end of the war, Great Britain proposed abolishing the projectorate she had assumed over Egypt, the question of the future of the Sudan was reserved from the list of subjects to be discussed. Now that the Egyptian nationalists have been told fatally that there is no chance whatever for the Sudan to be handed over to Egyptian sovereignty, it will be interesting to see how Lord Grey's compromise suggestion of an American chairman for a committee to ration Nile irrigation will be received in Cairo.

Wilmer J. Roberson says some things which will interest the readers of The Negro World. We take from his address the following: "We have been called upon to do a service, a service to ourselves, a service to our community, to our race, and for the civilized world at large. We have answered the call upon our own will and judgment because we believe in the program that actuated the call. We have taken our place within a group of men and women who are fighting for a cause in which we age deeply interested and concerned. Therefore we felt it our duty to become a unit among the many others that go to make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. We have said to those in authority: We are here, assign us to the many duties of bearing this downrodden race to independence and to nationhood." We are here, not to be frightened away by insignificant enemies but to stick to the principles that govern the actions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are here to step to the world: The Universal Negro improvement Association has a program in which all men and women of the Negro race may fill those places in life intended by our Creator for man and woman to fill. We are out to reach and maintain that future." "Our ambitions and desires have been manifest by the fact that we have taken up our part of the great burden and stand ready to bear it to success. We are not expecting to reach this success without encountering some opposition, for our work is like trading bad for good, and the only way to be successful is to out-wit the other fellow. What we should do is to close our eyes to our present surroundings and fight for the goat set by us as our objective. This being done, we are-sure to take along with us all that we come in contact with in our rush for success. "Our enemies are like a piece of waste clinging none too secure to the bank of a stream. They are there only to be forced away by the mighty power of the rushing water. We are to be like the water. Our determination must be such as to force the enemies to give up their job of trying to destroy us and join the ranks with a willing mind to be of some service to this great cause. This sounds well enough, but in order to make it an established fact, we as a people, must put our shoulders to the great wheel and do our part in pushing it up the hill. Our success largely depends upon our activities while in the act of making preparations to receive the future as we see it, looking through determined eyes. The success that we are fighting for is still ahead of us, and we can reach it only by hard and continuous fighting, not on the part of one man or one woman, but as a whole. We must join our forces together. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League deemed it necessary to have a military department, the same being authorized and roiling into effect some time ago. Then the call went out for soldiers to fill the ranks. The call was answered by men and women, and today we have in practically all the divisions a military auxiliary. "Why was it, it one might ask, they wanted a military department in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League? Well, I would say that, as other organizations of note, we needed soldiers to wear the principles of this great organization, not only at heart, but as a garment also. We needed men and women to wear the uniform adopted by the Association, so that when one see them he not only sees a man in a uniform, but will be able to see in his uprightness, his determined expression, and his nobility the principles of the organization which he represents. 'Now, as we see it, in this uniform there must be a power, and this power can in no way be better described than: The man in the uniform.' It is in his loyalty, dependability and courage that the nation or race places its confidence. We are doing what you might, call 'getting together,' and we expect for every person to play a part. We will also take special notice of the most disciplined division, those who are sending in to this office the required monthly and yearly reports. If you have not the proper report, Blanks, write for them and they will immediately be sent to your division for your use. We are placing a great responsibility in our commanding ethics and solving them to meet every effort in this direction. We want every man and woman to be strictly up to the principle of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League. And, I might say, that when the call is called, only those who have been praised in the workplace of this work good employers for the first change. We are joking at you, every one, through the great eyes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities League, hoping to see you in the field of labor, ever working for the redemption of that great continent and our future home—Africa."

ELMER WARRELL What care they for the Crimon Cress Who practice only might; Whose pleasure is another's loss— All heedless of the right: The sun of eve his farewell shone As near approached the night. As Christless Christians led him on. A man bereft of right. While Christ of Gallilee again Beheld Golgotha's height; Feeling the loneliness, the pain, Of one bereft of right. Once more He climbs the steep incline Of rugged calvary; For Him no silver crosses shine— Hard wood and nails only. He sees the shameless in their shame, The Christians in their might— For horrors of Golgotha claim A man bereft of right. Christ sees the priests of Holy Road, The cross of silver hue. Who spurn the cross of crimson wood, Only to Moloch true. How silently do priests approve The hapless victim's fate: For hever they in mercy, move Such misery to abate: "Forgive them, they know not, men. The depth of wrong they do" Christ cries and then, "Foresaken. O God—seen by the few." Dead is the faith; the illies bloom Where love lies dead below; For crucifix yet there is room.

We camped you have board of the practical demonstration of the strength of only given by an old Indian chief to his pain, to whom he desired to teach an important and needed lesson. He handed each of his sons a small dry twig and told them to break them. The twigs wrapped like pipe stem under very slight pressure. He then gathered several of the same kind of twigs into a bundle and handed this bundle of twigs to each gas in succession and bade him use his strength to break them. Each tried but could not break the bundle of twigs. He then told two to try their strength in breaking the bundle of twigs, but even then they could not break them. "Single twigs, you see, are weak my children, and can easily be broken; bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken." The lesson was well learned. And this is the lesson we, an a people, need to learn. United, intelligent action upon our part in almost any community can secure anything within reason and justice we desire. United support of worth-white business ventures among our people will rapidly develop economic independence. America's motto should be our motto and slogan: "United we stand." Division means weakness. "Union means strength." Single twigs are weak and can easily be broken, but bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken." OUT IN PERPETUAL DARKNESS By CHARLES W. GRANFORD Out in perpetual darkness. Groping, groping without light. Go millions of misguided wretches. Worshipping all that is white. "Lighten the skin and be popular." Such is the slogan of fools. Was ever there taught such a doctrine, In all our churches and schools? Is it our unlettered grandsires, Who teach us that blackness is sin? That an ebony hue is objectionable. And chemistry will whiten the skin? Why, not! 'tis the intelligentsia. Who crave so much to be bright. It is they who are teaching the masses. That all is holy that is white! Worshippers at the throne of whit- ocracy. Though children of darkness you are. Soon you shall see the daylight. Surely, 'tis not very far. So it is not perpetual darkness: It will not forever be.

The Red Indian Still Holds America—The Coming Type America is mailing the biggest expartment in the world, the expartment of city civilization, designs Shaw Demond. In his article in the August County, Mr. Demond says that America is developing centers of civilization in Boston, New York, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco and the other cities through out the country. He says that the reason for this expartment in city civilization is that America is young, not yet set, the American people, have not yet "dur themselves in." "The spirit of the Red Indian," he writes, "still holds. America. One could see them, with the eye, of the mind, riding and trailing and running alongside the Pullmann, those pachydermatous excrecens upon the desert, still as strange as antediluvian dinosaur. And if there is any type that the North American continent is developing out of the majestro of the nations it is the North American Indian type, which looked at the traveler in the streets of Chicago, in North Carolina and Virginia, as in the cities of the Pacific. High cheek bones, piercing eye, strong, sheering nose. All were there. "For America, despite and even because of her city civilization, is developing a collective type, as she is developing a collective soul. But it is a type of soul loosely knit. A decentralized soul."

Pittsburgh Avenue. Broadway. 6001. BALTIMORE, Aug. 9—It is now possible for a Jew who served in the World War to be recognized as "a real 100 per cent. American." E. Milton Altfeld, Assistant State's Attorney, today was the authority for that statement. Mr. Altfeld had what he called "indisputable proof" of its truth. He produced a letter from the Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlanta, inviting him to become a member of the order. "No, they didn't make a mistake." Altfeld explained. "We are Americans now. Read this; it makes us real Americans." "This" was a mass of Klan literature announcing that a "modified policy" made it possible for a Jew who served in the World War to become a member of the Klan. The chief platform of the "American organization" at the present time; according to the literature, is a fight against the reign of Catholicism in America." "Tent it wonderful to have that decided so definitely?" asked Mr. Altfeld, who is author of the book, "The Jew's Struggle for Religious and Civil Liberty in Maryland," which is now on the presses. "Am I going to join?" Mr. Altfeld, repeated the question several times. "No," he answered. "I do not ex- WHY BE UNLUCKY Many people agree of good for- come are urged to泊-O-Luck Chaos.

It is hot enough shaping these days in pajamas without extra sheets. Anyway, it is an invitation no self-respecting Jew could accept." A mass of literature from "headquarters" found its way from the deck to Mr. Alfield's hands. The "personal invitation" from the Grand Knight came first. When its pieces had futtered to the floor, the circular announcing the "change in policy" followed. Mr. Alfield, who served as a captain in the American Army during the World War, who had a grandfather who is buried on American soil, who comes of a family that boasts members in the American Army during three wars, permitted himself a smile. "It is wonderful," he declared, "to really be an American, particularly one of the 100 per cent. kind." LABOR GOVERNMENT AND IMPERIAL PREFERENCE The West Indian Viewpoint and Needs in the Light of Awakened Interest (From St. Kitts Union Messenger) The instances in which the consideration given the Dominion and Colonies have become a political issue are few and far between. The manner in which the question of imperial preference has been fettisoned by the present government: acting on the mandate of the British Electorate furnishes at this moment such an instance and has elevated this important issue to the position of a plank in the political platform of one of the national parties. Seldom in the history of the smaller colonies have British politics assumed the role of general interest occupied at the present time. In the West Indies, this is a sign that the people are alive to their own interests, since this big question around which revolves so many side issues in Great Britain, envelopes the future existence of West Indian staple products. We are aware that the Labor Party of Great Britain has been long committed to the Free-Trade doctrine, and we know, too, that this party represents the wishes of the large majority of the electorate of Great Britain on this particular point. Several editors of West Indian newspapers and other influential writers, in their effort to underate the leaders of the Labor Government have indulged in what may be termed abuse of those leaders. Such, an attitude should be condemned by all clear-thinking persons as both an act of injustice to the government and a futile, and profitable attempt to substitute abuse for argument. The Labor Government has our sympathy, because we feel that the day has arrived when the laboring people should enjoy to their full capacity all the rights and privileges guaranteed them by the letter and conventions of the British Constitution. It should be remembered that the question of preference was the one on which Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the leader of the late Conservative Government, appealed to the country, the result of which was his defeat and the ushering to power of the Labor party. The Labor Government is undoubtedly putting in action the mandate of the electorate in setting aside the recommendations of the Imperial Conference, and refusing to stand by the preference promises of the preceding government. If, therefore, there is desire to place blame, the electorate and not the government are the ones on which the odium should fall. It is to be clearly understood that we are not attempting to defend the action of the Labor Government, because we realize that the government, representing the wishes of the people, have broken faith with the Dominions and Colonies, and have invaded, if not destroyed, our pompous feeling as members of the "Great British Family of Nations." Their decision will affect us adversely and will do permanent injury. The present position is the result largely of ignorance of West Indian conditions, an ignorance which is general with the people. Lords and Commons, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, professional and laymen, of Great Britain. It is the duty, therefore, of the West Indies, to place the facts of their case before the people and government if they wish any modification in the general application of their preference decision. In the West Indies there is no party question, there is no political issue. The West Indies have an economic question, a question, the correct solution of which means food, clothing and shelter, and one which is bound to affect the army of laborers in these parts. We are sure that the people and government of Great Britain will be influenced for good if the West Indies present their case by a simple statement of the hard facts. We believe that all empire grown products should be protected against the competition of foreign goods, and we look upon imperial preference as a strong bond of empire. The necessity for creating a central body to speak on behalf of a united West Indies is at once apparent, and we express the hope that this expediency will produce a sincere desire on the part of the separate groups for a Federated West Indies. The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE AND REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 531 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK SUNDAY, JULY 10TH THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 Why President King Did Not Remain for the Burial of the Unknown Soldier and Left Without Getting the $5,000,000 Loan Alleged—Interesting View of the Mix-up In the midst of his colorful convention he is notified of his indictment by a Federal grand jury. We are not commenting upon the indictment, for he will be given a fair trial, and he will be able to secure justice as easily as any other man; we are commenting upon the fact that Garvey, who causes very little stir in New York, outside of the ranks of his own Negro people, had caused considerable stir in European chancellories. There are cute, cunning old men in Europe who do not like Garvey. They claim he is a dangerous agitator, because he has succeeded in arousing the enthusiasm of his own people and has offered them the thought of a real Negro republic in Africa. And in Liberia, supposed to be a republic, Garvey is very much hated. The Negro president of Liberia fears Garvey means to get control of the country, so he tells his consular agents here to grant passports to no one associated with Garvey. That will not block Garvey, for already two-thirds of the people of Liberia want him. They are tired of their present government and should be. They know they have been exploited and that the immense natural wealth of Liberia has been pawned to an international gang of looters. They know, too, that there is a close and mysterious connection between the present Liberian government and the Republican administration in Washington. Perhaps, they know what few Negroes in this country know that the president of Liberia greatly embarrassed the Harding administration during the disarmament conference. The president of Liberia was in Washington at that time attempting to negotiate a loan. He was there two days before the conference opened. Then some one told Secretary Hughes that if this Negro president were in Washington during the burial of the Unknown Soldier he would have to be given the place of honor in the parade because he was the highest ranking foreigner in the capital. What happened? The president of Liberia was told that it was essential that he go home, that the loan would be arranged later, and that the United States warship, the Denver, was waiting for him in Boston. Marines were sent with him to the railroad station, marines met him in Boston, and the warship carried him home. But those honors were extended so that he would be out of the way when the parade in honor of the Unknown Soldier was being held! Perhaps the same slow-thinking which induced the Liberian chief executive to quit the country to accommodate Republican politicians has embarrassed him in his administration of affairs at home. At any rate, he has made a mess of things and now he is very much afraid of Marcus Garvey. MINISTER HELD FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER OF NEGRO Hooded Mob Shoots Negro Chef in Back and, Believing Him Dead, Hold Ceremonial FAIRMONT, W. Va., Aug. 9. — A story of how a Negro with a bullet wound in his back feigned death while a hooded mob conducted a ceremonial over him on a lonely farm near her last February was revealed by authorities today, following the arrest last night of seven men on charges of conspiracy to murder. The Negro was shot when he attempted to escape from the mob after he had been enticed to the farm by a white woman to whom he is said to have made advances. Those arrested on warrants are Rev. E. O. Jones, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Shinnston; Joseph B. Cox, coal operator; Guy Uttack, T. O. Meredith, Beverly Garrett, Clyde Hagus and J. A. Landis Pastor a Klausman Utterback, Garrett and Landis were committed to jail, but the others were released under $10,000 bail each. The Rev. Mr. Jones, according to Prosecutor Amos, is an officer of the Ku Klux Klan in West Virginia, and Utterback also was an officer in the organization until last Wednesday when his term expired. The Negro Daniel Washington, was a chef at a hotel here when authorities say he made advances to Mrs. C. R. Brown, a waitress. Arrangements were made, they say, for a trust between Washington and Mrs. Brown at the farm on the night of February 29, and when Washington arrived he was surrounded by masked and robed men. He tried to escape and was shot in the back. Negro Feigned Death Dragged into a nearby ravine, the Negro feigned death and the ceremonial was held. After the masked men had departed, he crawled to the road and was taken to a hospital by a passing motorist. Mrs. Brown and her husband were indicted for the shooting and recently were brought back here from St. Louis, where they were arrested. Authorities say they have confessed and have revealed the names of the other members of the mob. Additional arrests are expected.

PHIL GREENE FREE NEW YORK OUTFIT East Indian Editor in Kenya States the Case as It Obtains With Both Races in Africa—Same Deceptions Practiced The following is from the Democrat, paper published by an Indian at Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa; and the Abantu Batho is a South African paper edited and published by native Africans of Bantu origin: In the struggle for power man reacts to subterfuges of all kinds to outdo the others. Christianity has been one of the most abused morals in the world. For hundreds of years men resorted to the Christian religion and used it to deceive the other portion of the world and the rest of mankind. It is the subterfuge of the white man when he wants to deceive you; he tells you about Jesus; he tells you about Heaven; he speaks of the beautiful things of the Christian religion which he himself does not believe in and does not practice. He preaches them to you because he believes it is the easiest way to reach your emotion and to appeal to your sentiment and deprive you of that which he wants. Such a subterfuge, the white man has used in Africa; such a subterfuge the white man has endeavored to use on all the unfortunate peoples of the world. He sends out his priest his bishop and his missionary to foreign lands to pave the way for colonial dominion or exploitation of the native peoples and their lands. Now, in the modern apalysis of things, the black man is wiping the scales off his eyes and is seeing things as they are. The Prime Minister, General Smuts, said in his speech at the City Banquet Hall, Cape Town, welcoming the deputation from the London Missionary Society: "There are many natives today who look upon the white man and the Christian religion as their enemies." This is not true. The native hates none in the great creation of God, but he realizes that he jumps in a coolie, heartless, material world. Christianity dehumanizes that he follows he mack and humble that those he no social discrimination that forgiveness should be practiced. "But after nearly 2,000 years of professed Christianity, 'do we find the white man humble, forgiving, or submissive? Sometimes he is forced to feel that the Nazareno died in vain and that he came into the world too early, for his advent has made but little difference in the white man's heart." White Man's Aim of Peace "The nations of the world have just emerged from a devastating war, in which they threatened the destruction of a civilization—remarkable for its scientific discoveries. Nineteen hundred years ago the world was enjoying a period of peace and calm such as it had never experienced before. Rome, mistress of the world, ruined supreme; her angels were carried by her well-disciplined and victorious legions; and so remarkable was that peaceful condition that the Romans erected a temple and upon its portals were inscribed in letters of gold the words, The Tempel of Eternal Peace. Nineteen hundred years have passed and that temple is now buried among the ruins of ancient Rome, and other temples have been erected for the purpose of preaching peace, the fatherhood, of God and brotherhood of man. Yet there is no peace. The peace which we are now enjoying may be likened to the calm before the storm; the nations of the world are only taking a breathing space before they once more come to grips in a deadlier and more destructive war. With such a conception of peace, the strong and rich-oppressing the weak and the poor; with the canker of racial prejudice eating at its very vitals, how can the white man expect peace in the true sense of the term? Who can think that he can come to my house, put me out, take all I possess and then talk to me about peace and justice, and after robbing and knocking me down, talk to me about a League of Nations for peace? All the burglars get together after robbing the black man of his land and then say: "Let us have peace. There is not going to be any peace until we all believe in the rights of all men."—Abantu Batho, a radical native South African paper. NEW DOMINICAN LOAN TO BE FLOATED HERE Donds are the amount of $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 are to be offered here soon by the Dominican Republic, it was learned in Wall Street today. Negotiations are pending between that Government and American bankers who have handled previous loans. It is probable that the interest rate on the new bonds may be 5 or 5½ per cent. The new loan would be for the purpose of retiring such portions by old 5 and 5½ per cent bonds as may be outstanding and to reinburse the Dominican treasury for runs spent in redeeming present loans nearly twenty-five years before maturity. When the bond issues of 1908 and 1918 were sold it was specified that all customs revenues above a, specified amount should be applied each year to the purchase or call of bonds for redemption. Customs exceeded the minimum figures to such a large extent that virtually all the bonds sold in 1918 and due in 1938 have now been redeemed, while of the authorized issue of $20,000,000 5s of 1908, due in 1938, less than $5,000,000 remain outstanding. This unexpected redemption of the national debt years before maturity, while testimony of the prosperity and wealth of Santa Domingo, has proved a heavy burden in the sense that money spent in anticipating the payments of future years have been diverted from productive employment in improvements, etc., which have been needed by the Domingo.

Address: GRACE GRAY DE LONG Miami, Florida EPISCOPAL NURS FOUND A CONVENT Sisters of St. Anne Inaugurate Good Work in the Virgin Islands (From The New York Sun) Two sisters of the Episcopal Order of St. Anne have founded a convent of their order at the Virgin Islands, and; although the rule obliges each new convent to be autonomous and to tend for itself, there is a connection with the home church in that the venture is fathered by the National Council, 281 Fourth avenue, New York City. The sisters will work in connection with All Saints' Parish in the Virgin Islands. Sister Louise Anne will, giver her arrival and take up the work, change her style of address to Mother Louise. She has been for some time given increased authority at the home convent in Arlington Heights, a few miles out of Boston, Mass., and has shown such executive ability that when the rector of All Saints' Church asked for the help of the sisters, with the approval of the bishop, the reverend mother picked out Sister Louise to be the mother in the new convent.
