The Negro World

XVII. No. 7 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GRAVES AND TEN CENTS BLOSEWHERE IN THE TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES SECOND PAYMENT MADE ON SHIP OF NEGRO RACE Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We are marching steadily on toward the goal of progress. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has stirred up the sleeping members of our race to the extent that everywhere we are redoubling our efforts and energies to put over the program of African Redemption, not only in the political sense, but in the industrial, commercial, educational and religious sense. Today we wake up to find ourselves the great objective with every part. Just a couple of weeks ago we acquired our first ship for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, a vessel of 5,300 tons. This ship is to blaze the trail of African industrialism and commercialism, carrying to and fro our freight and passengers, taking from the Africans, South and Central Americans and West Indians their raw products, bringing them to the American markets and taking back to these peoples our finished products manufactured by our own hands in our own factories, where we will employ members of our own race. Help Make Payment for Ship We made a substantial payment on this first ship and a second payment was made on the 13th instant. There is another large payment to be made on the 13th of October, and we want every member of the Negro race throughout the length and breadth of the world to send in his and her loan to enable us to meet this payment. We want $48,000 more to complete the payment for our ship. We must have it within another couple of weeks. Those who have not loaned their $25, $50, $100 or $500 yet, now is the time for you to come to the assistance of the Association. We want money, not only to pay for the ship, but to capitalize the starting of the business of the corporation. Let us all remember that the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot put over its program except it is supported by its membership and those who are in sympathy with it. Ships on the Seven Seas We must not only have one ship, but we must have many more ships to carry out suc- APPEAL TO MEMBERS OF RACE TO SEND IN THEIR LOANS FIRST OF MIGHTY MERCHANT MARINE TO BELT THE WORLD WITH COMMERCE OF THE RACE WHILE DU BOIS KNOCKS AND WRITES HIS FROTHY STUFF. U. N. I. A. PILOTS BLACK RACE TO HEIGHTS OF SUCCESS DU BOIS KNOCKED WASHINGTON, WHO BUILT TUSKEGEE, AND IS NOW KNOCKING GARVEY, WHO IS TRYING TO REDEEM AFRICA cessfully the ideal that we are striving to attain. The Negro race, large in its dimensions and scattered over the globe as it is, ought to be able not only to have one ship, but hundreds of ships flying the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green over the seven seas. We have made a start. Let us keep it up. Let us go about it in a business-like way. The Negro who would not help to establish his race in commerce and industry has absolutely no sense of responsibility. For us to attain the higher heights in religion, politics, art, science, literature and education, we must have first a solid industrial and commercial foundation. When we can provide employment for ourselves, when we can feed ourselves, then we can talk politics, discuss our views on religion and find time to indulge in the fine arts. Until then you are at the mercy of the other fellow who feeds you, and that is the condition of our race throughout the world today. That is why we have no racial opinion, because we are dependent upon the other fellow for the support that we get, and naturally he dictates our policies, shapes our views and directs our opinions. To free ourselves from this we must take the initiative in building for ourselves, and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association wants each and every one to do in supporting the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Men and women, let us have ships, and still more ships. Let us belt the globe with the merchant marine of our race. Let our ships be sailing into the ports of England, France and Germany of Europe; into the ports of Asia, into Japan, China and India; into the ports of Africa, South, East, West and North, and into the ports of the different countries of the Americas. Let our ships carry the same raw materials and finished product of the one country into the next as the ships of other races are doing. It is only when we start to do business in this concrete way can we develop a strong and healthy independent race, out of which we hope will ultimately come a great political freedom, culminating in the redeemed republic of Africa. Send in Your Loan Please remember that we want $48,000 more to pay for our ship. We have all done splendidly already. Within the last couple of weeks we have reduced the amount from $70,000 to $48,000. Let us in the next few weeks pay off the remaining $48,000 and take complete possession of the ship that is to be the first of the line of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Send in whatever amount you may have—whether it be $20, $25, $50, $100, $200, $500 or $1,000—as a loan for five or ten years, bearing an interest of 5% annually. Send in your loan addressed to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY. Universal Negro Improvement Association. Raleigh, N. C., September 23, 1924. P. S. Again I desire to ask all members, branches, chapters and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to redouble their energies in helping to raise funds for the Parent Body to enable us to clear off all outstanding debts against the organization. The Parent Body can only carry on its work successfully when the members, branches and divisions rally to its support. All those who have moneys for the Convention Fund please send in same immediately. All secretaries and presidents are requested to send in their monthly reports. Please let your reports be up to date. By so doing we will be able to face the new year with great success. M.

OUR LETTER BOX “Managing a Household” fo he Editor of the Woman's Page: In order to mange @ house, a woman must know how to take care of her children. She must be a home- maker, a housekeeper and ® «ood apender. A budget Is necessary in the managing of a home. The budget ts composed of six parts: Food, cloth- ing, shelter, fuel, savings and ad- vancement. Ne A family, with the average income should not run their credit account above their income: Ono-third of the Income should be spent for food, and one-fourth for rent or. shelter. A thrifty housewife would put aside a certain amount of money for food, clothing, etc. por month, and would not permit the other members of the family to exceed thin num. A housekeeper im not necersarily a home-mnker, because a woman micht keep a clean houne and cook well, but tlis does not mean that rhe is a home-maker. A home-maker has tho prwer to draw all the membern of tho family together in one unit, and thus make the home the center of Interest an® aocial activities. Since the woman spends mont of the money in the home, ft fs neces- sary that she know how to spend tt winely.."In buying clothes for .the family, she not only looks after the price of the goods, but the value, dur- bility and quality of the materinl, in buying food she does not look for he expensive and dainty dishes, but wrmlesome and nourishing: food. Therefore, it fs necesnary for ourselves nd family to know how to manage . home on a small’ income. ROSA LEE SMITH.

WOMEN OF NEGRO.RACE | LET THE WORLD KNOW ~ - WHAT YOU Ang, THINKING AND DOING | Wend bn. your articles, seems end vennye to Mire, Amy Jecqune= Gorvey, core of Mopre: World, 68 West 100th Si, Mow York Gitp THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1984 Lo que ella ha hecho es obra, no de un grupo de personas dirigentes; no de un cebrero superior impulsador. Sino que es obra de la masa y realizada al cabo, de años de lucha, de alternativas, de aciertos y equivocaciones, como todo lo que vale, es firme y perdura en la vida. Un gran patriota, representante de nuestra organización, nuore en Liberia—Aquel jefe de justicia era un verdadero hombre con grandes iniciativas—Nuestros enamigos nunca tuvieron influencia alguna sobre aquel gran carácter, su lema era la verdad y el derecho La inauguración de la nueva casa de la Union Benefica, que revela el estado floreciente y ya consolidado de la sociedad, demuestra también que los españoles de Nueva York han llegado a desenvolver el espíritu de esfuerzo colectivo en forma definitiva. Cuando más de un millar de hispanos han conseguido mantenerse unidos y arraigar con el sólo esfuerzo de sus aportaciones una entidad titil, tan seria, tan firme y tan llena de porvenir como la Union Benefica, no hay motivo para creer que el resto de los millares aquí residentes, no compranedan que puedan y deben hacer lo mismo. Experimentamos al presente otro gran pesar con la muerte de uno de los caracteres mas firmes de nuestra raza, en la persona del honorable juez James J. Dossen de Liberia. Muy pocos fuera de los limites de dicha república conocían los méritos de aquel gran hombre; no era, el solamente un verdadero patriota leal a su país, sino también un amante de su raza, cuva única esperanza era la de en dia no lejano los hijos e hijas de Etiopia se congregaran de nuevo en la madre patria, y allí, bajo la protección de un gobierno propio, disfrutar de todos los privilegios de la verdadera libertad. Cooperando a la sociedad y formada? ? Desarrollando las otras existentes? ? Fundiéndolas todas en una sola suprema organización que une todos los recursos y toda la autoridad de las colonias? Eso es cuestión de procedimiento que se resolver poco a poco, a medida que las discusiones ya en curso ganen voluntades y unifiquen el criterio general. En tal dirección le vimos siempre poner a disposición de la raza, mediante la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, toda su energía y ability en pro de la reconstrucción de la república de Liberia, como una nación de primer orden en el continente africano. El, como todo nuestro elemento conciente, nunca dudó del propósito de nuestra organización en su país; su inteligencia era muy preclara, el era muy liberal y muy patriota para pensar por un momento que otros negros tuvieran otra intención que la de solidificar la raza y así convertirla en un gran poder en el concierto de las naciones. Por de pronto lo interesante y esperanzador es que el esfuerzo colectivo ha hallado cauce ordenado y seguro. El exito ya conseguido será la mejor propaganda, las ventajas ganadas, el mejor acicate. Los pesimísimas, los esternos descontentos, los que para disimular su propia falta de voluntad ó su impotencia auguran desastres para todas las empresas de elevación, de progreso, de engrandecimiento de las colonias, tienen, su mejor respuesta en el acto del domingo en la nueva casa española de la calle catorce. James J. Dossen tenía razón; él se compenetró de nuestro propósito de hermanad y de cooperación, y por ello, con hombres como Arturo Barclay, defendió la causa que habría de significar progreso en la vida de su país y de au raza. Pero desgraciadamente, ha emprendedo su viaje hacia el infinito. Demostró su sinceridad por la causa hasta sus últimos momentos, cuando postrado en su lecho, entregó su plana de servicios a la raza y patrocinio a nuestra organización, a aquellos en quien el tenia gran confianza, recomendándoles no abandonar la nave de nuestra causa justa cuyos principios son honestos, por el mero hecho de que los enemigos del movimiento hayan manifestado lo contrario. El c counsel general de España en Nueva York, don Alejandro y elocuente pronuncio atinado y elocuente discurso, presidiendo la inauguración oficial de la nueva casa de la Unión Benefica Española. El acto fué brillante, cordial, espafollisimo. Y el jefe de la colonia púsole adecuado prologo en manifestaciones que es interesante subrayar. Poniendo de relieve la significación del acto, el señor Berea declaró que le era doblemente grato porque presentaba una demostración de lo que podía el esfuerzo colectivo. Nada más exacto. El hecho de que Nueva York tenga ya una sociedad española capaz de comprar su segunda casa e invertir en su insultación y reconstrucción sumar importantes, demuestra — como el consul declar — lo que puede el esfuerzo colectivo. El juez Dossen demostro en mas de una ocasion su entereza de caracter, no permitiendo ser influenciado por ninguna de las varias agencias que luchan en contra de los fines de esta organización. Malintencionados en este lado del Atlantico, quienes publicaron y enviaron a Liberia artículos viciosos en contra nuestra, nunca tuvieron acceso en la firme convicción de este grande hombre, cuya perdida nos ocasiona el más produndo pesar. El prejuicio que hubiera podido crear la circulación de tales artículos no produjo el afecto descado, debido a que hombres como el siempre honorable y nunca olvidado James J. Dossen, pudieron interpretar la intención en contra no solamente del avance de este movimiento en Liberia, sino que también en contra de los beneficios que el mismo pudiera redundar. Esto, sin embargo, tiene mayor, mucha mayor significación, porque se trata del esfuerzo colectivo español; y porque este se ejercita en Nueva York. Tanto se ha dicho y predicado sobre la disolvente característica de los españoles, acerca de su indisciplina social, contra su repugnancia a la coordinación y el orden, que vale la pena de hacer resaltar cada acto de cooperación en el esfuerzo, de unidad en las actividades, que se advierte en nuestras colonias. En este sentido, pues, la Unión Benéfica Española, es algo más que una sociedad española. Es, en realidad, un simbolo. -La Prema, N. Y. El daño que estos hombres han hecho no solamente ha injuriado la causa de esta organización, sino también la causa de Liberia y la de la raza en general, apesar de pretender ser colegas de aquellos que se hayan actualmente en el poder en dicha república. Nos place sobremanera el haber tenido y el tener aun hombres del calibre del honorable juez James J. Dossen, hombres que no pueden ser facilmente persuadidos, hombres cuyo lema es la ejecución de la justicia y el respeto al derecho. Los que formamos parte integrante de esta organización hemos de venerar la memoria de este gran patricio y rogar por el descanso de su noble alma. Su labor por el enaltecimiento de su taza no ha de pasar desapercibida, sino que será inscrita en las páginas de nuestra historia, como un recurdero imperecedero. La igualdad en la justicia Si Leopold y Loeb, los jóvenes criminales millionarios de Chicago no mercian ser colgados porque tenían menos de veintitrés años, por qué habría de merceirlo ninguno otro asesino de Illinois que sea también menor de edad? Una de las consecuencias immediatas de la sentencia de Leopold y Loeb es una demanda de clemencia en favor de un asesino de diecinueve años, llamado Grant, ahora sometido a una sentencia de muerte en una carcel de Illinois. Si el juez Caverly estaba en lo justo al mantener que la pena capital debería ser eliduja para los menores de edad, cualquiera que fuera la deliberación y salvajismo de sus crimenes, entonces el veto que apicó la semana ultima-deberia prevalecer en todos los casos, bien defendidos por un numeroso personal legal y con el fondo de una publicidad sensacional, o bien defeadidos obscuramente por medio de escasos wages de abogados o aun, por designación del tribunal. a expenses del mismo estado. En la reconstrucción de la antigua Etiopia hemos de eregir otro gran monumento a la memoria del que fué en vida James J. Dossen. Mientras nos agobia la pena de tan irreparable perdida, no dejamos de reconocer que existen aun en Liberia hombres de la talla del ilustre fenecido; con caracteres tales hemos de ligar nuestro esfecido y nuestro sentir para llevar a cabo el gran programa de nuestro movimiento, el cual estriba principalmente en el desarrollo en un sentido general de aquel pals, convirtiéndole en un poder entre las grandes naciones. temple del honorable juez James J. Dossen; hombres que se eleven muy por encima de todos los prejuicios y de todas las rivalidades en la vida de nuestro pueblo. Debido a la propaganda malsana de los enemigos de raza en America, muchos de los que llevan las dielas del gobierno en la república de Liberia, creen que Marcus Garvey desea ir allí para constituirse en la presidencia ó intervenir en la política del país; pero la masa conciente sabe que Marcus Garvey tiene mucho que poner en práctica en beneficio de la raza en general, antes de domiciliarse en Liberia ó intervenir en su política. Toda su ambición es ver a la gran Liberia convertida en una gran nación, una de las muchas que de crear en Africa para beneficio de nuestro La ley de Illinois no hace ninguna distinción a causa de los veintiun años, en el impulso asesino o en la responsabilidad por el delito. Pero si tal distinción ha de hacerse en favor de algunos menores deheria hacerse en favor de todos. Y la jurisprudencia deberia ser leyada al texto legal mismo, no dejada al azar de la observancia individual de las ordananzas judiciales. Lo que se necesita en Illinois y en todas partes es un reconocimiento más claro de que la ley debe ser imparcialo de que la ley debe ser imparciale y constante, más allá del favor o el temor. Una justicia para los altos y los bajos, para los ricos y los pb- bres, sin varación ni sospechas de cambios; asa es la concepción que el piso de los Estados Unidos desea conservar y que fué lamentablemente violada por las sentencias de Leopold y Loeb. En pro de la paz universal Este pais y Rusia, aunque no son miembros de la Liga de Naciones, serán invitados a concurrir a la conferencia international de desarme que, bajo los auspicios y por disposición de la Liga, se celebrará no más tarde que en junio de 1925. Mientras tanto, la comisión está dando los ultimos toques al proyección de conventión en que se establece, además del arbitraje obligatorio y las garantias de paz, la conferencia de desarme mundial y en la cual no estarán representadas únicamente las potencias sino todas las naciones del mundo. Algunos han sugerido que la conferencia de desarme tenga lugar primero antes de la aprobación de la conventión por la asamblea, pero la casi unanimidad de las naciones esta porque la conventión sea el punto de partida del desarme. Las naciones europeas confian en que el arbitraje obligatorio, presentado por primera vez por el delegado español almirante Magaz y patrocinado luego por los primeros ministros de la Gran Bretaña y Francia, con la aclamación unonime de todas las naciones hispano-americanas y los pequeños países de Europa, sera el verdadero fundamento de la paz en el futuro. El consejo de la Liga de Naciones aprobó un empréstito de cincuenta mil pesos para la obra de socorro de los refugiados griegos en el oriente. Lord Parmoor, uno de los delegados británicos, propuso que al reino de Irak, una de las nuevas naciones sacadas del viejo imperio turco, se de una constitución propia para ensayar durante un periodo de cuatro años. En caso de que sea un éxito el nuevo régimen, se le daría la completa independencia y el derecho a figurar en la Liga de Naciones. Contienda civil en China Nuevas tropas se concentran precipitadamente a todo lo largo de la muralla que defiende la capital de China, para enfrentarse al ataque innimente del general manchuriano Chang Tso-Lin. El ferrocarril Shanghai-Ninking hace dos semanas que no está en actividad, por destrucción en sus lineas. La linea Pekin-Mukden está ocupada por completo con el traslado a toda prisa de las tropas con que el general Wu-Pei-Fu hará frente al general Tehang-Tso-Lin, que viene con milares de soldados a atacar a la capital. De Pekin informan la captura de dos mil carros. El dictador militar de Pekin, general Wu-Pei-Fu, ha enviado al frente su propia tercera division a librar combate a las tropas de Mukden y con las cuales las tropas del gobierno han estado en los dos últimos días de batallas violentes y sugrrientas. Ignorarse el número, de muertos, que se calcula en immense. Wu-Pei-Fu actualmente esta en Pekin, después de inspeccionar el frente a lo largo de la gran murala, dejando momentaneamente sus fuerzas bajo las ordenes del general Yang, que esta resistiendo a los mancuarrios. Despacho del cuartel general de Mukden dice que el efectivo invason ha capturado a Ciao-Nang y Taipei y que, el general, Chang-Po-Lin viene avanzando como una tropa hacia el sur. Las tropas del gobierno rechazaron un taque en Naulin, las fuérzas del general Chekiang mantienen sus posiciones a pesar de los ataques por mura yierra. Bugues de guerra han bombadoado a Kindlargo de la muralla de Pekin, La grán hecatonble ocurrira en la sangrienta batalla inminente a lo largo de la muralla de Pekin'. Levántate a conquistar La conquista de almas es la conquista por excelencia. Diariamente debes levantarate con el propósito de conquistar a todos aquellos de tus hermanos con quienes el destino te ponga en contacto. A unos los conquistaratas con tus palabras amables a otros cien tus miradas afectosas, a los de más alla con tus servicios. Sé un don Juan de almas. Deja en cada una de las que encuentres una huella de luz. Además de la intima alegría de estas conquistas, podras, merced a los que te quieren, hacer mucho bien. El hombre que tiene amigos, es todopoderoso para la caridad. Lo que el no puede dar por amor a el lo daran con placer, los otros; lo que el no puede hacer, por amor a el otro lo harian sonrindo. Multiplicará ensisiblemente los dulces recurros y las fuerzas eficaces que le son necesarias, y podrá amar doblemente a los tristezas y a los pobres: con su amor y con el amor de todos los corazones conquistados. AMADO NERO. La política al día Los dirigentes de los partidos progresista, republicano y demócrata se mostraban muy satisfechos de los progresos de sus respectivas campañas en la lucha presidencial, a seguidas de recibir noticias sobre la apelación a los votantes durante la semana. Los progresistas están más que satisfechos con las respuestas al discuro pronunciado por su candidato La Follette y la invasión de estados conservadores como New England y Nueva York. Los progresistas han hecho resaltar que tanto los republicanos como los denomcratas estan en control de los intereses momentarios, que dirige Wall Street, y que en el caso de que cualquiera de los candidatos de los viejos partidos saliera elegido, habria que cuidarse de los privilegios e intereses especiales. Concluyen diciendo que la una esperanza de que haya justicia es eligiendo a La Follette y a Wheeler. El candidato democrata anuncia en Kansas que se dedicará en el resto de la campaña a concentrar sus ataques sobre la corrupción del gobierno republicano; conclusión a que llegó después de adverti que su serie de discursos pronunciados en los estados agricolos sobre tal corrupción habian despertado mucho entusiasmo en los auditorios. Sus ataques contra el exsecretario del interior, Fall, Denby, Forbes y Doheny, dicen sus partidarios, le han dado mayor fuerza en el oeste que ninguna otra faz de la campaña. Los democratas han concluido que la mejor manera para escalar la presidencia es haciendo hincapié en la corrupción del gobierno de Washington. El senador James Reed de Missouri le dijo que esa era la mejor manera y que debia ponerse guantes de cuero y olvidar su manera de entrar a la corte de apelaciones. Por su parte, el presidente Butler del comité republicano, concentra sus ataques en el denominado socialismo, de La Follette y dice que se hace necesario salvar la constitución. La lucha agrega no es sobre los métodos de gobierno, sino la abolición del gobierno. El partido socialista se ha prometido destruir la constitución, le destrucción de la corte suprema. Hablando del candidato demócrata, agrega: Por una combinación de circunstancias excepcionales en nuestra vida política, John W. Davis, el candidato presidencial democrata, un distinguido abogado, ha sido evidentemente eliminado de la contienda. Mientras tanto, Miss Ethel M Smith, secretaria de la Unión Femenina Nacional, organizada en liga, ha declarado que diez millones de mujeres votarán a favor del candidato independiente La Follette. Basa este calculo en el número de mujeres afiliadas a la Liga, que tiene ramas donde quiera que los obreros están agremiados y más miembros que ninguna otra organización femenina en los Estados Unidos. Seguir ella, no existe el hombre en la vida pública que ha hecho tanto como el senador La-Follette para traducir el program de las mujeres en ley y practica. Celebración del día de la La demostración militar más enorme que en tiempo de paz se ha hecho en este país desde que es mación, tuvo lugar al hacer la nación un inventor de su fuerza humana según los informes que recibió el departamento de la guerra de los diferentes estados de la Union. Las fuerzas regulares espacidas por diferentes egados de la Union tomaron parte en las celebraciones del día; pero lo que más ha sido del agrado del departamento ha sido la cooperación de miles y miles de partículares que voluntariamente han contribuido a mayor esplendor de la fiesta, indicando así la fuerza activa de que se puede ejerchar mano en caso de una futura agresión. Aunque esta prueba de defensa nacional fue hecha de acuerdo con el acta de defensa de 1920, el plan en si tuvó su nacimiento en los días de la revolución y especialmente en la milicia de 1792. En Washington las ceremonias del dia incluyeron, una parada de treinta mil individuos en los que figuraban tropas de las fuerzas regulares, la guardia nacional y las reservas, seguidos de sociedades patrioticas y particulares. En esta ciudad y en el estado del dia se celebró también en medio de la mayor animación y desde la seis de la mañana hasta las once de la noche se celebraron reuniones, paradas militares, ejercicios militares, a los que concurrieron científicos de personas. Las calles se vieron engalanadas todo el día con banderas y miles de transeuntes que indicaban también el buen contingente de fuerzas que se podían movilizar en tiempo de guerra. Los simulacros de combate practicados en State Island y otros lugares han resultado más prácticos de lo que se esperaba y la realidad de las ceremonias llegó hasta el pum to de suspensión obligas perroum al contengimiento las solicitas que hicien guardia en los offices de correto y otros edificios del gobierno. LA BONNE PRESSE ET LA MAUVAISE (Les Continents.) Dans flotte grand confrère quotidien Paris-Soir, notre éminent ami et collaborateur René Maitan, a fait paraître sous le titre: Troupes Noires, un article consacré au cas du solda Kagpo, que notre directeur avait présenté récemment dans nos colonnes. Malgré certaines protestations d'une mensongère loquence, désormais tout le monde sait, ici, que la présence des troupes noires sur les champs de bataille de France, n'a été obtenue que grâce au volontariat obligatoire. On agissait déjà de même avant la guerre. Sera fixe sur ce point qui voudra bien lire: Hien le Maboul, de feu le capitaine d'infanterie coloniale Détranger en littérature Emile Nolly, et, surtout *Des Inconus ches moi*, de Mme Lucie Cousurier, page 195, 196 et 197. On ne parfera, en effet, jamais assez de ce beau livre, vrai, humain, pathétique et douloureux. Pendant la guerre, on fit mieux bien mieux. A Batna, par exemple, pour obliger les Algériens à s'enroler, on terrorisa la population au moyen de mitrailleuses. La Randonnée de Samba Diouf, des frères Tharaud, nous indique comment, en A. O. F., les fonctionnaires s'y penaient pour pousser leurs noirs administrés à s'engager spontanément. En A. O. F., de janvier à juillet 1916, on descendit, de Bangui sur Brazzaville, enchainés, de malheureux Baandas et Mandjias qui, par imbécilité ou hypocrisie, feignaient d'ignorer qu'ils jouissaient de l'insigne honneur d'avoir été choisis pour aller défendre un pays qui n'était pas le leur. Volontaires-la-cordeau-con, tel était le surnom dont les Européens avaient baptisé les pauvres bougres traités de la sorte. Malgre m science en la matière, jusqu'ici, par lassitude, je m'étais force à croire que l'on procédait maintenant à des enrôlements moins illegaux. Il n'en est malheureusement rien. L'histoire que voici va prouver. Containsez-vous Kagpo? Non. Kagpo est un Dahoméen que, pour le moment, on soigne au Val-de- Grâce, service du deuxième neuvres. Natif de Hinvi, prés d'Alada,—orphelin de père—pour faire vivre sa vieille maman, sa femme et ses deux enfants, Kagpo exerçait la profession de cultivateur. Un jour,—à ce moment son deuxième enfant, une fillette, n'avait que trois mois—l'administrateur de son cercle丹 demanda s'il ne voulait pas s'engager comme tirailleur. Il répond que non, qu'il n'aillement l'intention de quitter son pays. Un mois s'écoule. Certain après-midi, un nilicien vient Jui ordonnier de passer à la residence. Il s'y rend, et se trouve en présence de l'administrateur, d'un medicine-major et d'son chef de village, leur complice. Derechef, on lui demand s'il ne veut pas s'enager. Nouveau refus et formel. Alors? Oh alors, c'est simple. On passe outre à son retus, et on le met dans L'obligation de choisi soit cent francs soit deux cents,—la première de ces sommets n'étant pas autre chose que la prime allouce à tout engage volontaire pour deux ans, la deuxième pour trois. Apeurre, ancanti, Kagpo empoche cent francs. "A peine a-t-il eu le temps de faire ce geste que, sans lui permettre d'aller embraser les siens, on le dirige dare-dare sur Quida cipon Cotonou. La, on l'équipe en hâate, en même temps qui tan des lamentables bêtes humaines, ses frères. Eet, en hâte toujqurs, on expédie sur la France, ee convoi de bestinux à deux-pattes. C'est à que Kagpo est depuis plus d'un an. Et comme n'ait ne sait ni litre ni cérire, il n'a pu donner de ses nouvelles aux siens depuis qu'il a quitté son pays, c'est-a-dire depuis plus d'un an. Un point, c'est tout. Et puis non, ce n'est pas tout. Quelles que soient les opinions qui les animent, il n'est pas en France de journaux digner de ce nom, qui puissent tolérer pareille sequestration. Comment ! voilà des gens à qui l'on import tous les devoirs et à qui l'on n'accorde aucun droit ! Dans le dessein de préserver de la destruction certaines familles de la grande race européenne, on les a soumis, comme les chiens de la Courtine, mais pendant quatre ans, à de mortelles expériences. Cette ignominaire n'a done pas suffi, puisque les bureaux compétents du ministère des Colonies, d'accord en cole avec crux du ministre de la Guérpa, occit continuer à prêter des ordonnées de ce guérpa, dans la tempa que toutes les nations supprédess, La France en she, les pression sur l'Abyssinie, elle puisse réprime la traite der seclaves qu'elle pratique à sa frontière! Nous en avons assez, des histoires coloniales, et des mensonges de tous ces coloniaux qui, hypoestris par l'appat du gain, desservent, à tout insu peut-être, le bon renom de leur pays. Nous voulons dire tout haut tout ce qu'on nous engage à faire. Nous ne voulons plus qu'un cruel silence veille l'agonie de ces races en retard, que la civilisation, en féignant de secourir, assassine. Il leur faut beaucoup d'air beaucoup de lumière, et, si possible, un peu d'humanité immédiate. Et juqu'à ce qu'on les leur donne, jusqu'à ce que les bureaux responsables se décident à faire leur devoir, je necesserai de faire le mien, en signant à la patrie qui m'a adopté, la dupliciate à la fois honteuse, ignobile et l'ache, de ceux sa qui elle croit pouvoyé se reposer en toute confiance. Nous sommes heureux d'annonce à nos lecteurs qu'à la suite des articles du prince Touval et de René Maran, l'autorité militaire a fait admette le soldat Kagpo à l'hopital militaire du Val-de-Grace, ou il est actuellement en traite-ment, en atteidant son renvoi à Dahomey. Mais cette satisfaction ne nous suif pas. Il faut que l'Etate paie à Kagpo les dommages-intérêts aux-quels il a droit, et que soit poursuivi et puni le fonctionnaire qui a ordonné sa sequestration.

Of, FRENCH SECTION Le grand patriote Libérien est mort—La République de Liberia perd en lui un patriote éclairé et la Universal Negro Improvement Association un représentant dévoué Aux Menibrés de la Race Noire, Salut: Il nous est penible, à cette heure, d'avoir à deplorer la mort d'un des hommes les plus éminents de la race, en la personne du juge suprême J. J. Dossen, de Liberia, décédé le 17 Août 1924, en son domicile a Cap Palmas, Liberia, Afrique Occidentale. Ils ne sont pas nombreux ceux qui, en debors de Liberia, connaissent la valeur de ce grand homme. Il fut non seulement un patriote loyal et dévoué à sa patrie, mais il fut aussi un serviteur zélé et convaincu de sa race. Son plus grand espoir était que les fils et les filles despersés de l'Afrique seraient, un jour, réunis dans la mère-patrie, sous la protection d'un gouvernement fort et autonome, afin de jouir de la liberté et de l'independence la plus complète. A cette fin, il était toujours disposé à mettre au service de la race, par l'intermediaire de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, toute son energie et tous ses talents, qui furent grandes, en vue de contribuer à l'édification de la grande Republique de Liberia et d'en faire une des premières nations de l'Afrique. En cela, il diffrait beaucoup de bon nombre de ses compatriotes qui regardent l'U. N. I. A. avec suspicion. Il fut un patriote aux vues trop larges, trop librales pour penser qu'il put se trouver des Négres nourissant toute autre intention que celle de contribuer à fortifiez et à consolider l'union de la race afin d'en faire une puissance mondiale. James Jenkins Dossen, donnait en cela, la preuve d'un jugement drot. Avec une admirable perspicacité, il savait lire dans le coeur humain. Il se rendit compte que l'U. N. I. A. n'avait d'autre but, en offrant ses services à Liberia, que de lui témoigner l'amitié la plus pure et la coopération la plus desintressée; et, pour ces raisons, il était disposé, lui et les hommes tels que Arthur Barclay, a contribuer de tout son pouvoir à l'avancement d'une cause aussi susceptible de promouvoir le bien-être de son pays et d sa race. Malheureusement, il n'est plus. Il est parti pour le grand Au-delà. Mais avec l'esprit de fidélité que le cafetarisait, jusqu sur son lit de mort il recommandait à ses amis, à ceux en qui il avait confiance, de continuer leur service à la race et de ne pas deserter la cause de l'U. N. I. A. à cause des calomniens répondues contre elle par des adversaires. Le juge Dossen fut vraiment un homme de principe et de caractère; un homme à convictions fortes. Il ne se laissa pas influencer par les menaces des nombreux adversaires de l'U. N. I. A. Si inebranlable enient sa foi dans la sus-die organisation qu'il démétait sans peine les mobiles de ceux qui la combattait. Les rapports préparés ice meine aux Etats Unis et expédies à Liberia pour y etre propagés dans le but de nuire à l'association se heurtait inevitably à l'impassibilité hautaine du Magistrat Dossen. Mais en somme à quoi peut ahouir tout le mal qu'on a tenté de susciter? Le résultat de ces machinations ne peut nuire à la cause de Liberia et à celle de race. Et cependant ceux qui se livrent à cette sorte de propagande se disent les amis du gouvernement de Liberia. Nous nous rejouissons de savoir qu'il nous reste encore des hommes tels que feu le juge J. J. Dossen, des hommes qu'il n'est pas facile d'ébranler dans leurs convictions de ce qui constitue la justice, l'honneur et le droit; des hommes, disons-nous, qui préférent la mort au déshonneur. Nous ne pouvons ne pas repeter ici ce que nous avons déjà dit ailleurs. Nous sommes persuadés que le juge Dosen est mort non pas d'un mal physique, mais qu'il a été foudroyé en.apprenant que la gouvernement de son pays, nonobstant l'entente formelle qui avait été conclue, avait trouvé bon de rempre les engagements pris envers l'U. N. I. N. A.; engagements dont il avait été un des signataires. Les hommes d'honneur ne peuvent tolérer la traison, la duplicité, et James Jenkins Dosen était de ceux-la. Nous demandrons aux quatre millions de Noirs de par le monde de pleurer la mort de cet homme grand et noble; de prier que son âne recoive accès au Royaume de Dieu. Sûrement ses bonnes oeuvres lui survivront. Pour notre part, nous les graverons en les tablettes impérissables du temps et nous, garderons à toujours le souvenir de ses grandes et bonnes actions. Et lorsque sera venu le moment d'édifier l'Ethiopie surement nous érigeron à James Jenkins Dosen, un monument grandiose. Mais tout en pleurer le grand Disparu, nous nous consolons à la pensée qu'il existe encore des hommes disposés à rendre les services les plus éminents à la race et qui ont asséde de grandeur d'ame pour n'être pas jaloux, et qui sont prêts à s'unir d'ame et de coeur avec tous ceux-la qui désirent faire le bien. C'est sur la coopération de tels hommes que l'U. N. I. A. compte pour la réalisation de son programme qui est de développer le pays sous les rapports industriel, commercial et agricin d'en faire une desnations les plus avancés de la terre. Des Noirs inconscients et jaloux domicilies sur le territoire des Etats-Unis d'Amerique ont essayé par tous les moyens en leur pouvoir de neui aux intérêts de l'U. N. I. A. auprès du gouvernement de Liberia. Et certaines Libériens se sont laissés entrainés à compromettre les avantages de leur pays en se pretant à cette politique de machinations. Mais tôt ou tard la Vérité se fait jour, et lorsque les Libériens arriveront à se hendre compte qu'en dehors de Liberia, il ne possédent pas d'amis plus smcères et plus devonés que l'U. N. I.+A. ils s'apercevront du tort que leur auront fait quelques uns des leurs et ceux d'Amerique qui ne sont que des agents, des emissaires de ceux qui veulent asservir indefiniment le Noir et Texploitier le plus possible. Le monde a besoin de plus d'hommes de la trempe de James Jenkins Dosen. Il a besoin d'hommes capables de s'élever au-dessus des petiteses, des préjugés, des jalousies et des rivalités pour vivre et travailler en vue du bien commun. A Liberia, quelques uns de ceux qui sont au pouvoir s'imaginant que Marcus Garvey, désire se rendre à Liberia afin d'arriver à la Présidence ou pour intervenir dans la politique du pays. Que c'est stupide! James Jenkins Dosen ne traiptait pas à ces sortes de choses, pour la bonne raison, qu'il comprenait que Marcus Garvey a trop de travail à faire parmi les Mirai pour aller à stabilir à Liberia et s'immerce dans sa politique. La voie de Marcus Garvey est de voir une grande Libération, une grande nation unique, une d'entre plusieurs à fonder en Afrique pour le bien de la race née. Comment pourrait-il être à la fois Président de la République de Liberia, Président de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, constituer à tuteller à la création de nouvelles nations mèrres, fortes et paiments, afin de contriquer à Favonnement de la diguite et de l'honneur de la race noire? Si ceux qui sont jaloux du succès de leurssemblées peuvent se rendre compte qu'il y a beaucoup à faire par chacun de nous dans la sphère qui lui est propre, il est existait, parmi nous, nous de malentendur. Puisse la bon peuple de Libéría comprounde que fou le juge. Dossent fut un de leurs mémoires amis et patriotes. Nous, des Etats-Unis, nous l'amonna pour la grandeur d'une que le caractéristait. Nous honoreurques toujoursa m'épôrage à cause de la libéralté de sea vue, et nous formas le voeu que d'autres Libériens imiteront la vie et les oduvres du grand Disparu. Dans toute la correspondance qui a été échangé entre l'U. N. L. A. et la Magistrat Dossen, il n'est pas une page qui ne respire l'esperte de bienveillance enva sa race ou qui n'exprimme l'esperte de voir s'opérer un jour la salut a sa race et le retour ultime dans la mére-patrie, des fils et des filles disperses de l'Ethiopie. Sa dernière lettre, datée du ler juillet, est un document digne d'être conservé. Ce fut la dernière communication à l'Universal Negro Improvement Association. Elle nous est chère; et toutes les fois que nous aurons besoin d'un souffle d'inspiration pour nous soutenir la poursuite de la grande oeuvre que nous avons entreprise, nous re-lirons les dernières paroles de James Jenkins Dossen, le patriote, le voyant, l'honneur d'État et le martyr du Cap Palma, Libéría, Afrique Occidentale. Avec les voeux les plus sincere pour votre succès, j'ai l'honneur d'être, Votre obéissant servieur. "Etude du milieu indigène familial et plus spécialement du rôle de la femme indigène au point de vue de l'influence qu'elle exerce sur la formation morale des enfants." '("Les Contiments.") Même lorsque des parents pré voyants ont versé pendant plusieurs années des accompasses pour acquérir à leur fils une petite épouse,—ainsi que les parents en France acquiérent à leur enfant un livret de caisse d'épargne,—il arrive que les parents de la future épouse remboursent brusquement les premiers acquéreurs pour céder l'enfant à un amateur nouveau et plus rice. Cela explique la situation pénible des anciens tirailleurs de qui les fiancées, pendant leur campagne en France, furent mariées à des civils par des parents besogneux ou peu confiants dans le retour de leurs futurs gendres. Ceux-ci, démobilisés, ne trouvent plus dans leur village de filles à marier, et sont obligés de prendre des femmes divorées et souvent stériles, ce qui explique qu'ils sont souvent prives de progniture. Plus heureux sont les tirailleurs qui, mariés avant la guerre, trouvent, avec leur femme, les enfants que lui a donné, conformément à la coutume des fétichistes guineens ou soudanais, le frère de l'époux, son remplaçant. Ce qui précède explique, le nombre de réclamations concernant les épouses, dont les tribunaux indigènes sont assaillis de la part des honnies, en même temps que de demandes de divorce de la part des femmes. On entend très souvent des coloniaux français, ou même ceux d'entre les noirs qui connaissent les moeurs françaises, reprocher aux femmes noires de rélamier avec obstination le divorce, qui leur fera cependant perdre la totalité de leurs enfants, puisque les enfants restent acquis au mari, quels que soient ses torts, pourvu qu'il ait payé la dot, et malgré qu'on la lui rembourse. Mais on omet de demeiller que la femme noire se trouve dans les conditions mémes ou étaient autrefois nos nourrises dont certaines étaient très attachées à leurs nourrissons, mais n'hésitait pas cependant à s'en séparer, quel que fut leur chagrin; parce qu'elles avaient toujours eu, présente à l'esprit, l'idée que cet enfant ne leur appartenait pas. L'enfant n'negré, en effet, appartient à l'homme, il n'appartient pas à la femme, elle n'en a que la jouissance, comme le fermier ne jouit du terrain qu'il cultive que pendant la durée de son bail. Cela n'empèche pas les femmes d'aimer leurs enfants, cela n'empèche pas les enfants, les grands fils surtout d'aimer leur mère. Il est même remarquable qu'ils préférent leur mère à leur père, peut-être parce que les dettes sont plus doices à payer à la tendresse qu'à l'autorité, ou peut-être parce que la mère et le fils ont de communs souvenirs d'entraîde dans la servitude. Je crois utile de citer sur la dot et l'institution de mariage indigene quelques propos des intérêsses, propos que j'ai recueilli ils soit directement, dans les rares occasions où ils étaient émis en Français, soit sous la dictée d'un interprète. "La dot, me dit un jeune musulman fis de chef, les parents en constituent ici, en Guinée, un bien légitime alors que le Coran la restitue à la fille et en fait une défense formelle aux parents. Chose pire encore, ceux-ci ne laissent ni au garcon, ni à la fille le choix de leur union. Aussi dès les premiers mois, des difficultés surgissent dans le jeune menage. Il m'est arrivé d'entendre conter des aventures ou des femmes empoisonnent leur maris pour s'enfurir avec un amant. Tel serait à Siguríne, le cas d'un jeune homme qui, après la mort de son grand frère, a cru devoir, selon la contume, épouser sa belle-sœur, la veuve. Celle-ci ayant refusé, fuit contrainte, par le "Cadi" à accepter le marriage. Peu de temps apre, le bauvre homme mourut empoisonné. et la femme disparut quelques jours après et ne fut jamais retrouvé. Il est donc très dangereux r'épouser une femme qui ne vous aime pas. Dans les justices indigènes et maris. Oue de divorces!" A Bamako, un fils de cultivateur malinke, remarque aussi: "Je pense que la dot a l'inconvenient d'encourager les parents à vivre dans la paresse en comptant sur la dot de leurs filles et sur les secours que leurs beaux-fils seront obligés de leur apporter. Elle a aussi le tort de diminuer l'amour des femmes pour leurs maris, car elles ont le sentiment d'être vendues comme des bêtes qui n'ont pas de choix à faire entre leurs maitres. Elle rend les époux brugaux à l'égard de leurs epouses qu'ils pensent souvent avoir trop cherement achêtées. Bref, cette coutume est l'esclavage et la traite déguisés; ell est cause de nombreux différends que jugent les tribunaux. *Apres m'avoir dit à son tour que la dot est une des causes de la parisse de certaines familles qui compient sur les dots de leurs filles, une jecue sousou ajoute:* "Le fancies qui pendant des annees, s'efforce à l'économie et la réalise difficile, s'il n'a pas de parents pour l'aider, se trouve après le paiement de la dot et la distribution des cadeaux, dépourvu du nécessaire. Après le mariage, ses beaux-parents exigeront de lui sans cesse de nouvelles sommes, sous menace de dissoudre le mariage au profit d'un autre prétendant. Cela explique en grande partie la pauvreté du négre. Il eust à souhaiter qu'on réduise le montant des dots de 2,000 à 500 fr. Il y a des genis qui disent que les filles ne se soumettent pas quand elles savent que la dot est faible; mais cela provient de ce que le mariage est fait sans leur consenement. Il serait juste aussi que les parents ne touchent qu'une partie de la somme et que le reste soit versé à la fiancée pour acheter de l'or qui serait nécessaire en cas de divorce. Je pourrais citer contre les modes du mariage-indigene les témoinages d'autres jeunes gens qui tous concidaient. Quand les fonctionnaires français des colonies réclament le maintien des contumes locales au nom des indigenes, c'est au nom d'un petit nombre d'indigenes à qui elles profitent, grâce à leur alteration recente; c'est au nom de ces conservateurs que sont les notables, les chefs de provinces, les interprétrés, car ce sont eux dont l'ogoisme, le goût des triomphes immédiates盆 des consequences graves sur la vie familiale que j'ai la mission d'étudier. Révocation de M. Windsor Bellegarde M. Borno furieux de l'attitude de M. Dantés Bellegarde à Lyon, furieux surtout des attaques de ce dernier contre l'occupation militaire americaine d'Haiti —attaques dont la presse du monde entier s'est faite l'écho — a 'cré devoir, par représailles, révoquer M. Windsor Bellegarde, frère du délegué haitien à Lyon, de ses fonctions d'inspecteur général de l'Instruction Publique. C'est la tyrannie ombrageuse qui fait rage et sabre, farouche! Dire que M. Dantés Bellegarde, pour n'avoir pas sa faire sondevoir, dans le temps qu'il était délegué d'Haiti à la Société des Nations de Genève, a été vivement tancé par l'opinion. Pour avoir mal accompli sondevoir, avoir d'hailu, à Lyon en ralliant à la resolution du déliequé américain—lequel, comme M. Borno, dit que l'occupations en la d'Haiti quand il n'y aura aucune bien à accomplir—est vivement pris à partie par le nationalisme! Tant e est vrai que seule une attitude radicale et uniformement nationaliste assure de la quiété! est déséchant pour l'immagination. Aussi rompant avec la routine habituelle de la section française nous allons parler à nos lecteurs des femmes haitiennes qui s'occupent de litérature ou d'eouvres sociales. Au jourd'hui nous voulons leur présenter Mme Virgile Valcin, née Cleanthe Desgraves, qui vient de publier un volume de vers sous le titre de "Fleurs et Pleurs". Mme. Virgile Valcin est née à Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Elle a fait ses études au Pensionnat National de Demoiselles où plus tard elle a professé avec compétence et dévouement. Au grand-regret de la Faculté elle se retira de l'enseignement pour aller fonder un foyer. Elle ne renonca pas, pour cela, a ses goûts littéraires. De temps à autre on lisait dans les quotidiens de la capitale tantôt une poésie tantôt un article sous le nom de "Christiane R." Qui était Christiane R.? Nul n'la sa jusqu'au jour ou, dechirant elle-même le voile dont elle s'était entourée par ce pseudonyme, elle publia un volume de vers sous son nom veritable. Mme. Virgile Valcin jugeant elle-même son ouvre, dit de ses vers: "Je n'ai point la prétention de croire que mes vers parfaits, oh! non; aussi, est-ce pourquoi, je demande a ceux qui me feront l'honneur de me lire, de m'accorder toute leur indulgence". Ceci dit, nous allons reproduire, pour nos lecteurs deux poieses ou percent ou souffle ardent de patri- oisme: LE DRAPEAU Qu'il était beau ce jour ou tous, noirs et mulâtre. Aussi braves que fiers, formant un vrai faisceau. Leur étendard en main, après dix- huit cent quatre, Se juraient de s'aimer . . . O Dieu que c'était beau! "Qu'il est doux, disaient-ils, d'avoir une Patrie, D'avoir l'indépendance et surtout un drapeau, Du nôtre en vérité, dépendra notre vie; Après lui, rien encor, rien sinon letonbeau." Bien cher petit drapeau, tu n'as que trop de gloire. Quoiqu'on dise de toi, j'aime bien ton aspect. Flotte, flotte toujours, jouis de ta victoire; Le drapeau, quel qu'il soit, mérite le respect. MON PAYS! Il est un doux pays où le printenps, l'été. L'autonne et l'humble hiver sont tous vraiment semblables. Ses arbres ont tonjours une folle gaieet. Tant leur verdure est stable. Un pays où le roi de la clarté du jour Est sans fin rayonnant de splendeur et d'ivresse Où le ciel tonjours bleu nous convie à l'amour. Un pays où le sol tend à faire pousser Oui les abeilles vont sans jamais se lasser Aux fleurs qui les enchantent. Un pays captivant oui jamais L'Etranger Na commi le mépris, cette arme si froissante. Un pays re cendant par la douleur rouge. Mais qui vit et qui chante. Il chante ses malheurs et ses lauriers fanés, Il chante ses héros dans leurs beaix mausolées. Il chante tout ce que ses fils ont profane. L'âme bien désolée. Le connaissez-vous donc, ce pays que mon coeur Adore infiniment? . . . Eh bien! c'est ma Patrie. C'est le pauvre Haiti, la malheu-reuse soeur De la France chérie. A propos de notre représentation a Lyon "Qui n'entend qu'une cloche, n'entend qu'un son," dit le proverbe. Il n'est donc que juste de faire passer aous les yeux de nos lecteurs l'entretient suivant qui repréente l'appreciation du parti nationaliste hastien sur le discours de Mr. Dantés Bellegarde à Lyon. Quand il se fut agil d'ouvoyer un déligué à Lyon directeur la question haltitent devait l'Association pour la Société des Nations, nous avons eu à dire hautement, à cette place, les raisons qui devaient empêcher le comité haltien de l'association, de désigner Monsieur Bellegarde pour une telle mission. L'état de service américain de l'ancien ministre·de Dartiguenave nous paraissait être un obstacle assez important à son choix. Les dernières nouvelle recues nous donnent raison. Monsieur Bellegarde fut très éloquent, apprenons-nous. Nous pouvions le deviner d'avance, connaissant et reconnaissant difficulte ses rares qualités intellectuelles. Notre cause ne pouait être présentée dans une forme plus academique. Le maître est que le succès purément litteraire était le moindre de nos soucis. Il s'agissait d'obtenir un vote de l'association condamant ouvertement l'intervention americaine en Haiti, de pouver du moins nonseulement par des discours, mais par notre attitude digne et correcte, combien nous sommes révoltés du joug americain; que, remis en esclavage ou à peu près, nous ne sommes pas satisfaiste de notre situation; que nous n'admettons pas, nous n'avons jamais admis la présence de l'américain chez nous comme un bienfait. Ce n'est qu un mal horrible dont nous serons jamais tôt遗 livrés. En tout temps, en tous lieux, notre attitude doit être entière et tranchante et conforme à ces sentiments. Pas de demi-mesure. Nous devons repousser tout compromis comme un hontue abaissement. A Lyon, d'après ce qui est rapporté par les extraits des journaux étrangers publiés par nos quotidiens, un accord eut lieu sur l'ordre du jour à soumettre au vote de l'assemblée après la discussion de la question haitienne en sence publique. C'est Monsieur Duniway, le délégue du comité américain, qui le revela quand il déchara qu'il s'éconnait que le délégue haitien put discuter l'ordre du jour sur lequel on était d'accord. Aucune protestation n'a été faite contre cette déclaration. Il n'en a pas été rapporté du moins. Ce n'est pas tout. Après le brillant discours de Monsieur Bellegarde et la réplique de l'Américain, l'Assemblée expirale la sympathie (?) avec laquelle elle a entendu notre déglue et (in canida venomum!) sa satisfaction du fait que le Secrétaire d'Etat des Etats-Unis a déclare l'intention de soi gouvernement d'effectuer l'évacuation d'Haiti. Pour être complet, nous devons ajouter que le ministre américain a ajouté que l'évacuation sera faite après que les Etats-Unis auront realisé le hut de leur intervention. Or, nous disons que l'intervention est sans but et, si elle en a, elle est égoliste, purément américain, destructive de la nationalité haltienne. Comprenze-vous maintenant, leteurs, cette sympathie? Oh! l'assemble qui applaudi Monsieur Bellegarde nous est très sympathique, mais . . . à la manière américaine. Elle trouve que le gendarme nord américain a bien fait de venir nous mettre à la raison, nous apporter des leçons de civilisation qui nous a conité, helas! des milliers de vies haïtiennes. Quelle dérision, que la sympathie de cette association. En vérité, cette sympathie est une déconvenue qui m'insulte. A la vérité il était difficile d'esperer autre chose. L'américain a du surement exploiter les avantages qui lui étaient offerts par notre irreflexion. Mais le plus grand mal n'est pas dans le vote, il est pûtot dans le fait démoncé publiquement par l'agent américain à savoir que l'accord était d'avance fait sur l'ordre du jour et ensuite dans le geste par lequel le débogue haitien a apprové le vote de l'Assemblée. Il a donné l'accolade au délegué américain! Esclaves m'éprisés, nous voilà maintenant esclaves satisfaits! Ce est le pire des états parce que c'est le plus degradant. L'escavage est, sans doute, hontevu pour le maître, mais l'esclave prend la honte à sa charge lorsque son âme est soumise et satisfaite. En vérité, il eut mieux valu n'être pas représentée à Lyon, à ce prix-la. Quoïqui en soit, ne nous laissons pas décourager. A l'avenir soyons plus sages, plus reflechis, mettons plus de discernement dans nos actions et nos gestes. Comprenons que, à l'Etranger, nos yeu doivent se tourner vers ceux qui ont interêt à nous aider. C'est dans le continent américain que nous devons tronver les meilleurs défenseurs. Il y va de leur intérêt. L'occupation d'Haiti c'est, pour les nations de cet hemisphère, la maison du voisin qui brûle. Nous avons aussi aux Etats-Unis une même un noyau de gens disposés à nous défendre. Tournons-nous donc désormais vers ceux dont l'intérêt est de sympathiser avec nous. Surtout cherchons bien qui doit parler en notre nom. Victor CAUVIN. Newville Giverny La Navire Exposition Internationale attendu dans les eaux de Puy-de-Dôme le 10 septembre.

NOTICE TO READERS AND AGENTS From and After the Issue Dated July 5, 1924, the Price of This Paper Will Be 10 Cents Outside of New York City and Abroad The Paper Will Continue at 16 Pages THE MANAGEMENT LET'S PUT IT OVER THE SAVAGE DISPOSITION TO FIGHT BORN IN THE SPIRIT THERE was great outcry against the setting aside of Defense Day by the War Department, September 12, by the large number of people who do not love war but claim to love the ways of peace. These people thought that it was not a wise policy in the disturbed condition of the world for the people of the United States to make a show of armed strength. It was also declared that the people of Japan, whom the country has needlessly offended in dealing with the question of immigration, would regard such a demonstration of armed strength as a warning to them that the nation was ready if the Japanese wanted to fight. This aspect of the matter may have been far fetched and it may not have been. It depends upon the viewpoint. How did the people of the Unite States answer the call to fight? The Negro World regards the answer as very significant. It is estimated that some 16,000,000 civilians turned out to show their individual obligation and responsibility under the new national defense program, and that 2,000,000 were enrolled in the various fighting units. All this shows the disposition of the nation to fight if need be. Although we also believe in peace and would eliminate war entirely between Nations as well as between individuals, we regard the showing of national fighting strength as a good and healthy sign. When it is well known that a nation is ready to fight those who want to assail it think wisely before doing so. It is the same way with the individual. Those who know he will fight in defense of what is his and what he holds dear to him will hesitate to force a fight upon him. The fact is that the savage disposition is born of the spirit of man and is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. He is not alone in this destructive tendency. It runs through all animal life, all bird life, all fish life, all insect life. The strong prey on the weak because of selfish greed, or prejudice in some phase of its hydra heads. The little children on the streets, going in and coming out of the school buildings, begin roughing it in play and end up often in the tug-of-war that means bad feeling and a plentiful flow of blood. If a peacemaker shows up they turn upon him as the Israelites did upon Moses. As it is with the children so it is with the grown-ups and with nations. Mankind is very far from the brotherhood which assures "peace on earth; good will to men." WHY THE DEAR NORDICS DO NOT WISH THE NEGRO TO SUCCEED IN FISTIANA If you will search deeply enough you will find a reason for every objection, for every prejudice, for every controversy that be-sets us on all sides. Not one of us but entertains one or all of these stumbling blocks to a good and workable understanding between neighbor and neighbor, citizen and citizen. The perfect man, who is ready at times to "do unto others as he would that they do unto him," is a rare creature, if he exists at all, as it is at this day. Some flaw in the character of each of us is always to be found to make perfection out of the question. The disposition of white individuals and nations to prevent the Negro people from enjoying fully the opportunities which make for success and power, so general now everywhere, more so than in former days, has a well defined purpose at the bottom of it all. Just now, we find that the purpose is most pronounced, if that were possible, in what are called sporting circles, than anywhere else. Before Harry Wills met Louis Angel Firpo, the Argentine giant, last week, in the squared arena, and won the decision without knocking out his opponent, as he could and should have done, the "Brown Panther" was decried very generally by the white sports writers and the white public as being unable to do anything with the white man from South America, and therefore was not in Jack Dempsey's class and should not aspire to meet the greatest bruiser of them all in a trial of brawn and wit. After Wills showed that he was the master, the claim was set up that Firpo was not himself, that he was too fat, and that Wills should have kayed him instead of toying with him through twelve rounds and getting the decision on points, and that, as he did not put Firpo to sleep, he should now fight Tommie Gibbons before aspiring to meet Jack Dempsey, the champion fighter. All of which is so much Nordic bluff and bluster. The underlying opposition to allowing black fighters to meet white fighters came to the surface some years ago, when the color bar in fashion first appeared, and was started in Great Britain, if you remember night, when it was contended that the pictures of such painted fighters were shown in the movie theatres throughout the world, and especially in the West Indies, Africa and India, and THE MIDDLE WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 Just at this time, in the throes of a Presidential campaign, we are hearing much about independence in politics, especially among Negroes, who have been supporting the Republican party for fifty-six years, or since the elections in 1868, and who have got nothing out of their voting that they put in it since 1876, when the Republican party, by sacrificing the State organizations in the Southern States and with them the Negro Republicans, to save Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes and the Presidency, began to sidetrack the Negro in party consideration, and abandoned him entirely in the administration of President Harding, who repudiated them and left them to shift for themselves. President Coolide has done very little to undo the treacherous work of Warren G. Harding. I believe he means very well, but he has gone, about proving it by being as cautious as a politician who wants a reelection rather than as a statesman, who makes principle the guiding star of his public service. The Negro has had too much of that in Republican policy since 1876. I believe that every citizen should get as much out of his voting as he puts in it. It is much like buying cabbage or any other necessary thing. And what does a citizen put into his voting? He puts his citizenship, his manhood, his right to vote and be voted for, his right to a voice in the making and enforcing the laws under which he lives. When he does not get these things out of his voting he robs himself. Is it too much to say that the Negro has been doing that for forty-eight years? I think not. During all of those fifty-six years the Negroes in the Northern and Western States have voted the Republican ticket because they were persuaded that by doing so they were preventing the Democratic party from depriving them of the guarantees, as freedmen and citizens, in, the Civil War amendments, by adverse action against them by Congressional enactment and presidential acquiescence. I was never deceived by this specious business. Neither the President nor the Congress can take away from the Negro any privilege and immunity guaranteed him by the Federal Constitution of the United States, and the Federal Supreme Court has affirmed as much, but the States can make those guarantees of none effect. Why? Because the rights not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States, and all social, civil and economic privileges and immunities come within the reserved rights of the States. Voting, travel on land and sea, all direct taxation for schools and public works and the upkeep of State, county and municipal government, all questions of police power for the protection of life and property, are matters within the powers of the State not delegated to the Federal Government, and to get our share of them we must look to the State and not to the Federal Government. The Federal Supreme Court has affirmed as much, as was shown recently in an article published in The Negro World. It is not pleasant, sometimes, to look facts squarely in the face, but it is always the safer way. In the pending campaign I maintain that the main issue, the one that concerns Negroes mostly, is the right of citizens not to be discriminated against because of their race, color, creed or nativity. On this question, raised by the Klan, the Democratic party and Mr. Davis have taken a positive and aggressive stand, denouncing the Klan and all its works, while the Republican party and President Coolidge have not oply failed to denounce the Klan and all its works, but they have invited Klan support in Maine, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and some of the smaller States of the far West. General Dawes, the Republican candidate for vice-president, went so far as to pologize for the Klan as a necessary evil whose members were honest but mistaken. So, then, in such a situation, he is an independent voter who casts his ballot as he deems it best for his interests. That is what it shall do. What are interests? That is your business. obeyed the black people that is physical prowess a black man could heat down and conquer a white man, and that, it was contended, is not a good thing to teach black people. Certainly it is not, if the purpose he to deny the black man the opportunity to prove that he is the equal, if not the superior, of the white man. He who demands for himself opportunities he would deny to his fellow man equally entitled to the enjoyment of them, is a coward, and has his superiority only in name. The Negro World believes that it is the business of the Negro everywhere to claim and to fight for his place in the sun. Whatever natural or public benefit others enjoy in any given place and time he is entitled to his proper share and to enjoy it, and when it is denied him it is his business to protest and contend in all reasonable ways for what is his. That is the proper measure of real manhood, less than which no Negro needs in his business. Stand by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hold up Marcus Garvey's hands, in the fight for justice and a square deal everywhere for the Negro and the Negro people. THE SPANIARDS FAIL TO CONQUER THE AFRICAN TRIBESMEN THE latest news from the battle front in Morocco is that the Spanish army, under the direct command of Prime Minister and Dictator Primero de Rivera, as a result of crushing defeats at the hands of the African tribesmen, has decided to evacuate the greater part of the Spanish-Moroccan zone. Abdul Krim has the Spanish dictator whipped. The outcome of the long and costly efforts of the Spaniards to conquer the African tribesmen have brought them only blood and money loss and vexation of Spanish pride and arrogance; these latter being great possessions of the Spaniards. The Spanish people have grown weary of the cost in men and money of the fight against the tribesmen and there is persistent rumor that Dictator Rivera may be thrown out of power. Even the Spanish throne, it is intimated, may be shaken. The European powers do not look with satisfaction upon Spanish failure to conquer the North African tribesmen. They have tribesmen of their own in Africa who show a very unsatisfied and restless disposition, and the possibility of trouble is ever present. Reports of success of tribesmen in one part of Africa reach all of the others and shake the fear which the blacks have been forced by bloody wars to have of the European whites. It was only recently that Jan Christian Smuts; the fallen premier of the Union of South Africa; publicly lamented the fact that the "Natives no longer regard the whites as gods." Destroy the white superiority myth among the African tribesmen and the tribesmen will ultimately throw off the white man's overlordship. Spanish failure to conquer the Moroccans is helping to destroy that myth. The Negro World has an abiding faith that the African people will yet reconquer and rule their own land and compel the white people who remain in the land to behave themselves and have proper respect for the feelings, the rights and the possessions of Africans in Africa. All of the forces of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be directed to the accomplishment of a "consummation so devoutly wished," in the future as in the past. The membership of the association is thoroughly convinced, as one individual, that Africa must be saved for Africans. RACE HORRORS IN AUSTRALIA ARE UNSPEAKABLY VILE WE are indebted to The Labor Weekly and the Labor Daily of Sydney, Australia, for exposure of horrors in the mandated territory of New Guinea, in the Commonwealth of Australia, which are unspeakably vile, and which appeal from the injustice of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia to the League of Nations for searching investigation and redress. The condition of the natives under the administration of the Union of South Africa is bad enough in all conscience, but conditions in New Guinea are far worse. It does not seem possible that any such crimes against the weak and defenseless could develop under the British flag as have been shown to exist in South Africa and Australia. As far as New Guinea is concerned, the Labor Weekly and the Labor Daily of Sydney have made out a clear case against the Government of Australia for conniving at the enslavement and torture of the native blacks, for the forcible seizure of black wives to be concubines for white men, and for the common practice of white men of living with black women as a convenience, to be cast off with their bastard children when the interests of the white libertines appeared to require it. Such things should be impossible anywhere in Christendom, but they are not. Some or all of them prevail, or have prevailed, wherever the whites have conquered and rule the blacks. We have had much of it in our Southern States; we have some of it now in our Southern States. We should have none of it anywhere, and The Negro World will continue to protest and fight against it, in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, wherever it is found to exist. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Certainly there must be sentiment for law, there must be sentiment for order, if the law is to prevail, or order is to be had without serious difficulty. It is necessary to build sentiment. Divert the minds of the people from mob rule to a rule of reason and law.—Birmingham Reporter. We urge the youth of our race to take full advantage of their school opportunities and to do their utmost to excel in scholarship, athletics and school activities. We urge parents to co-operate with the school authorities, to visit the schools, know their children's teachers, to the end that the best results may be obtained.—Pacific Defender. One of the greatest blows dealt to the national prestige of the Republican party, so far as our race is concerned, is the bolt-of-William H. Lewis, the brilliant Boston lawyer, former classmate and warm personal friend of Calvin Coolidge. Lewis has declared for Davia. He points to the fair record of the West Virginiaian on race matters and his open stand against the Klan as cogent reasons why he intends to support him. Among the younger men of college training Lewis has a large and enthusiastic following. His action cannot do otherwise than have an important influence upon them. That Lewis is a man of outstanding ability cannot be denied. It will be a great mistake for political leaders to conclude that Lewis's defection is a small matter. His bolt and that of others shows a growing spirit of independent thinking and voting upon the part of many of the younger and middle-aged men of the race—Omaha Monitor. What Liberia needs, if we are to judge from the sources of information we have, received, is development of her industries. We understand that grants of land have been made to various churches in the hope of developing economic resources. But our churches are much unlike the Catholics in that they separate too far the economic and religious life. Our own guess is that if we could send two good business men to Liberia for every minister, and two good engineers for every preacher, Liberia and our West African work would make great progress. Let us hope that an intelligent group of colored business people might study the resources of Liberia and not leave the entire development of it to our white friends. We have put too much of sentiment into our African propaganda and too little of common sense. We are pleased to see the Dr. Solomon Porter Reed, American minister, on the needs of Liberia, particularly in the line of economic progress—Christian Recorder. One often wonders why comparatively ignorant people sometimes succeed in the things they undertake better than people of more training and ability. It can be often explained that the one has more faith though less knowledge, and faith is always superior to knowledge. One hostages in his desire to know; the other trusts in his faith to accomplish. — Christian Recorder.

Fleeting though they will be, to good account. That — as attending the Fourth International Convention of Negroes held last year under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were thinking along same lines when they stressed the need for encouraging professional men of the race to travel. If Dr. Moton and other race leaders are induced to think internationally and lend their aid to those who are; if out of the jaunt will come understanding and a willingness to support the U. N. I. A.'s plan to unite West Indian and American Negroes with strong commercial bonds, to their mutual benefit, then the "unique party" will not have been in vain. Let me hasten to sound a note of warning to the public. Not that I think the warning will be of any avail. Warnings seldom are. But there are certain people—and in Harlem their name is legion—who have their "fortunes told" at least once a week. And they meet the bill as cheerfully as the milkman's. I am prompted to sound the warning through something that has befallen me. I have just lost a friend I had, all because of some charlatan of a "spiritualist" or "fortune-teller," or both. You see, my eritwhile friend is a firm believer in the spiritualist's art, and it appears, at a recent session, was told to beware of a "youngish-looking man," alim, tall, getting bald." And that spelt my doom. Now I am regarded as an enemy. Can the police do nothing? The (D)amsterdam News is not a Dutch sheet, nor does it trown on Amsterdam avenue. It is a Harlem weekly newspaper, specializing in agony ads—the wall of tenants in a community beset with real estate sharks. It is a news sheet which, like its twin brother, the New York Age, has no ambition to evolve from the "weekly" age, and does not pretend that it has. It is pretty conservative, only going outside of Harlem for news when politics oblige. When it is not headlining some obscure, but pretty Harlem girl, who is divorcing or being divorced, or telling the lurid details of a Harlem killing, it is hard hit for scare headlines. Then it has recourse to Marcus Garvey. In Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association it can see nothing good. Marcus Garvey is just a "barbarian" as the Greeks would. say, since the slave ship bearing his great grandparents docked at Jamaica in the Caribbean, instead of at Virginia. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a hump, since it is preparing Negroes against the time when they may be glad to hike back to the place from which their ancestors were torn. If a stevedore in Louisiana, a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, slaps his wife, why—Marcus Garvey should be deported. The (D)amsterdam wears smoke glasses on a foggy day and, peering through the windshield, sees to see the hand of the traffic cop. And truth is, of course, a bitter matter. "Hit Garvey, though the soul perisheth," is its slogan. Albeth now and then, it designs to tell a half-truth, and, when the circulation manager nods, it will even print a decent photograph of the great Negro leader. But, taken all in all, "the end justifies the means," says the (D)amsterdam. "And now we are told 'Garveyites can't wear uniforms in the island of Jamaica.' What if they can't? Oh, the British tyrant is trying to prevent the Negro even from eating bread. But for this, too, I suppose, Garvey should be deported from the United States. Says our dear, beloved friend: "That followers of Marcel Garvey are not permitted to wear the NATTY BLACK UNIFORM! They do in the United States in GARVEY'S OWN HOME (capital is all mine), is revealed by an account in the Jamaica Gleaner of August 29, which tells of one of the legionnaires being fined $10 or $25 in prison." A man committed a breach of the Uniform Law of Jamaica, a law which appeared on the statute book in Jamaica long before the U. N. L. A. ever came into existence, and it has been prosecution in Harlem, New York. "Stutty BLACK Uniforms," the (D)Jamaican prots of its opening paragraph, and then reprints a talk of KHAIR uniforms.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 12. The need of trained ministers and an enlarged program for churches were emphasized by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, in addressing the National Baptist Convention, which is in session here at the Ryman auditorium, Friday evening. Dr. Moton pointed out to the large and appreciative audience, which packed the auditorium, that in order for any church or denomination to do effective work it must co-operate with other churches and denominations. "Jesus Christ Himself," declared Dr. Moton, "put the supreme emphasis 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glance Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened gla ds and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be overcome by the severity of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the vital force of youth. When the vital force of youth formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed awareness" to the worlds where everything else had failed. I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours. says D. B. Peake of Kansas City, Mo. Today I am 68, but I have been a doctor for over 40 years. Before 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 this be the first time a coverover 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 help you work like magic in its rap, lyrity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, you can still work with your body and you are necking, crooning and the "force of youth" we are so, confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 10 days' free trial.

If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money. You refund without this offer if it is written so write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial. surely the point of unity of those who believe in His name. In the life of persons, He good ones add this position; that they think in good ones we are, and that good ones receive the doubting and wrong writing among believers, that the world might believe that the Father sent Him." "As long," said Dr. Moton, "as the believers in Jesus are divided into opposing forces; as long as they find themselves unable to get together for practical purposes; as long as they look on one another with hostility and suspicion; as long as they are anxious of such ther and fighting and struggling against the success of one another; so long will the world be unconvinced that the kind of Christianity that they teach is good for the rest of the world." "Now this connection is a thing that the church itself should be anxious to keep up. To maintain this hold, however, it must direct its energies toward certain definite goals of achievement. In the first place the church must supply the people with a strong efficient, upright leadership. All of the other professions are today competing with the ministry for influence as leaders, and it is good to have it so. Every side of the life of our people must be developed, and it will take competent leaders to bring this about. There is little danger that our preachers will cause to be the leaders among our people, but the important question is the type of leadership which they represent. In all the other fields the influence of definite practical training is being felt. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, business men are today the product of careful training and preparation. The church must set up and maintain the same ideals for its ministry if its influence for good is to remain. "Again, if the church would hold its influence among our people it must enlarge its program for service to the race. I am not here to say what this program must be. It will depend upon the circumstances surrounding the individual church. I can say, however, that that church is rendering the best service to the kingdom of God, which finds a way in which to put every one of its members at some definite constructive task of making this world a better place in which to live." Dr. Moton further paid a glowing tribute to the progress which the National Baptist Convention had made under the leadership of Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, and pointed to the new $300,000 publishing house as one of the indications of this continued advancement. Text: 'My soul is ashamed for God, so the living God—Fei 61.2. Subject: "The sput's need and God's nature" (Continued from last week) At any rate, the curiosity of the child is so keen, so active, so simple, that you and I, in the observing hanguor of later life, might well wish we had it back again. What is that desire to know concerned about? Surely the enigma of our being, of the world, of that which is around us, in an, so beautiful, so strange, so startling, yet so real; this self-contradictory life—the explanation of this changing scene. The riddle to be read is—why we are and what we are, and, though in after days men may become too careworn or too callous to inquire, yet this eager longing is so much a part of our essential I selves that it comes out in every word, in every question of a child. What is that to know? Friends, pause and think. Surely so much as this, at least, is true. It is a clamorous cry which comes from, which proclaims abroad, a need of man. But close upon the heals of curiously there treads, an eager thrilling sense of aspiration, not unmixed with awe. Who of us has not stood upon the hills at sunset, and longed with a vague, wild, passionate longing to pass beyond the bounding clouds? Who of us has not watched with true, though unexplained, emotion, that most pathetic spectacle, the breaking of a summer morning? Who of us has not gazed at the increasing light as it crept across the mountain summits, broken, disparted by their jagged peaks, and longed, although we feared at our own longing, to be for a moment carried beyond those fire-enfolded crests. Friends, what did it mean? What was that sense of awe? What also that wild, that undescribed, that indescribable aspiration? Again, I say, it was a clamorous cry. Pause again for a moment and answer me. Which of us, as time goes on, has not known the heart-breaking passion of regret, which rises as we gaze behind, atwart the receding years? Why is it that, in spite of our well-formed, well-seasoned reasonings to the contrary, we still persist in clothing those days of earliest childhood with a life which is not all their own? That field, that flower, that corner of the street, that dear old house, that well-known room—how much gladder, sweeter, better, as we say, than such things, such places now! Everything was different and better. Each image that comes to us, lighted up, it may be, by the sunshine of some dear, long-loved, now-lost face, has the magic loveliness of age-buried years, coming with a fresh life of resurrection, ghostlike, dreamlike, from the silence of the grave. Why is it, this sweet, this sad regret? My friends, you will agree with me, whatever else it may be, at least it is a clamorous cry. All these cries of the creature-like curiosity, so strong, so keen, this awful aspiration, soaring beyond the stars—and this regret so deep, so passionate—they gather up in one wild wall of need. Oh, cynic though you be, careless though you may be—nay, indifferent or hostile though you be to serious thought—tell me what finds utterance in their voices? Is it not the same, the world-wide, world-old thought of the poor Judean exile on the wild Abrarim hills—"My soul is atheist for God, for the living God?" Ah, this eager, unsatisfied humanity what grieks it for but Him. Now, can that cry be answered? Is it heard? Does any answer come? It is answered. I am told in Revelation that there is a God, supreme in power, of essential apotelless holiness, the Absolute of Perfection, the Changeless Beauty, comprehending thus in Himself, it would seem, all imagined or imaginable objects of the desiring mind. Is not that enough? Strange creatures that we are, it is not. You and I want to know, nearer, more precisely, His nature and His character. For you and I are each possessor of a mysterious gift. We want to know, and till we know we cannot rest. Will He—the Unspeakable—suit Himself to the conditions of that gift? What is that gift? It is that distinguishing mark of beast, insect, flower or man that gives him motivation. It is life—the mystery of life—each soul has it.

A SUGAR COATED FUN-FROLL C MOBILE SISSLE and ENU IN THE PALMERY PLEASING MUSIC MIDNIGHT SHOW PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Probably the oldest piece of property owned by an educated exponent in America is the owned by the corporation of Bethel A. M. H. Church, Philadelphia, the mother of the African Methodist Episcopal Church denomination. This property is located on the east side of South Birth street between Pine and Lennard streets. It was deeded to the African Methodist Episcopal Church June 21, 1817, one year after the African Methodist denomination was formed in Philadelphia in 1816 by Richard Allen, Peter Spencer, Dahiel Coker and others. The original plot was purchased by Richard Allen in 1793 and was the site of the famous blacksmith shop church. In 1787 the colored worshippers under Richard Allen and Attuck Jones withdrew from the St. George's Methodist Church in Philadelphia because the white Methodists attempted to segregate them. After several years' worship in private homes, Richard Allen purchased a site and also purchased an old discarded blacksmith shop, which he moved upon the lot he had purchased and used as a place of worship for the newly formed Bethel African Methodist Church. From that day to this, more than 130 years, the property has been in the possession of Bethel Church, though part of the time the title holder was Richard Allen. On this site have been erected four buildings. The present church was begun in 1890 by Rev. C. T. Shaffer and finished in 1892 by Rev. W. H. Heard, both of whom afterward became bishops of the A. M. E. Church. Bethel Church furnished until quite recently the largest auditorium the Negroes had in the State of Pennsylvania—indeed in the entire Northeast. It is a three-story brick and gray stone building, with first floor for kitchen, dining room, engine room, etc., second floor with large Sunday school room and many small class rooms, and third floor for main auditorium, pastor's study, etc. The church is fully equipped with modern sanitary improvements, rest room, etc, and beside being the oldest piece of real estate is one of the most progressive churches in the country. While St. George's, the white church out of which Bethel came, is today deserted, Bethel is full every Sunday. The property is valued at $200,000, though it could not be reproduced for that amount. The most beautiful stained glass windows in any colored church in America are Bethel's possession, and people whose business it is to know say that these cannot be reproduced today for less than $20,000. Beside the church building, Bethel church owns four adjoining properties whose value is at least $45,000, and from which a good rental income is derived. Rev. H. P. Anderson is the pastor. The membership is close to two thousand and the debt only about $12,000.

The aim of the meeting will be to point out the good and beautiful in all branches of the human family, and especially to present the long overlooked virtues of the Negra. Race prejudice must become impossible by better acquaintance one race with the other. The whole effort of the association is based on the truth that you cannot hate one whom you knew. The distinguished persons to appear on the program assure the success of the meeting. President W. J. Clark of Virginia Union will survey the work of the association. Dr. James E. Gregg of Hampton and Prof. C. H. Maloney will discuss the question of race superiority and inferiority. Mr. Charles S. Johnson will read a paper on the "Scientific Study of the Negro." Prof. L. P. Jackson of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute will read a paper on the work of the early missionary teacher. President J. F. Lane of Lane College will deliver an address on "Race Relations." Dr. R. C. Woods of Virginia Seminary and Prof. Miles Mark Fisher will discuss the "Negro Church." Ex-Congressman Thomas S. Miller and Mr. A. A. Taylor, Associate investigator of the association, will address the body on the "Negro During" the Reconstruction." James Weldon Johnson will discuss "Negro Agitative Organizations Since the Civil War." Prof. John R. Hawkins will emphasize the importance of knowing the record of the race, and Dr. S. C. Mitchell of Richmond University will join the general discussion. This convocation of persons interested in the scientific study of the Negro brings to a close the work of an unusually successful year. There has been no large increase in the income of the society, but the investigators at work have been able to accomplish more than ever before in the history of the society. A statistical report on the Free Negro is now being published to show who these people were, where they were residing, how many of them lived in the respective family groups, and what relation they sustained to their white neighbors.

During the appropriate association publication concerning the Journal of New History, added them its beginning by Dr. Carter W. Woodson, the founder of the organization. This scientific review reaches readers of thought not only in the United States, but in countries of, North America, Europe, Asia and Africa, having been placed in hundreds of public, and college libraries. Among its subscribers are practically all of the accredited institutions of learning in this country. Fifty of these are white colleges and universities of the South, where the publication is used by advanced students of history and sociology. This magazine makes its appeal by scientifically setting forth facts on the presumption that facts will speak for themselves. Endeavoring to be of assistance in assuring the continuance of the work a number of prominent persons have become life members of the association, paying fifty dollars each. Seventeen prominent Negroes still more interested in the promotion of this cause have pledged themselves to contribute $100 each to the support of the work. Such pledges have already been redeemed by Mr. F. W. Dallrants, acting for the Indianapolis, M. C. A.; Mr. H. K. Craft, acting for public spirited citizens in St. Louis; Mr. W. P. Dabney, Mr. W. W.
