The Negro World

The Dispensable Weekly The Voice of the Aurora Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 17 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1934 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRY AMERICAN NEGRO TOURISTS GOING TO THE WEST INDIES ABOARD SHIP OF NEGRO RACE Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is encouraging to learn that the race everywhere is preparing itself to enter upon the new period of our Association's life with new zest and determination to see that the great cause we represent is fully attained. Looking over communications from all parts of the world that reach our hands, we are buoyed to the heights of gladness to realize that the work that we have engaged ourselves in for the last seven years has been of such unparalleled success. The Universal Negro Improvement Association looks forward to 1925 as a year of universal readjustment when each group and section of the race everywhere will recharge itself with the fire of enthusiasm to further work for the crowning glory of Afric's scattered race. We in America are doing our best, and we feel glad that our co-workers in the West Indies and Africa are also doing their part. Preparation and steadfastness should be our guide and watchword for 1925. The New Policy Much that we could say must be left unsaid because of the danger of saying too much for the public ear that may defeat the grand purpose that we now have in view for the good and benefit of the four hundred millions that we represent. Silently and quietly we must make our penetration through the barriers of difficulties placed in our way. Say little, but do much, and by such policy we are bound to win but in the new change that is coming over the world. Shaping Ourselves Industrially and commercially we must also shape ourselves to the new adjustment. We must not forget that without a strong or firm industrial background we can hardly rise to be anything of importance in a world as serious as our present civilization. It is for this reason that we are redoubling our efforts and energies to TO SEE THE TROPICS IN SUMMER BLOOM GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION BIG YEAR IN STORE FOR PROGRESSIVE MEMBERS OF RACE HELP THE RACE GROW make a success of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The first ship of the line will sail away from New York on Sunday, the 11th of January, 1925, carrying America's first group of Negro tourists to the West Indies and Central America. An invitation is extended to all colored persons who desire to see the tropics and to visit the beautiful West Indian islands on the cruise to book passage on our ship, the S. S. Booker T. Washington. The passage is made as low as possible for the accommodation of all. Three hundred and fifty ($350.00) dollars is charged for the round trip of 31 days. Cruise of the Jews The Jews are also promoting a tourists excursion to Palestine and the Holy Land so that the Jews and others who desire to see their work in rebuilding Palestine may be accommodated. In a similar way the Universal Negro Improvement Association is backing the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company to offer to Negroes every chance and opportunity to see the rest of their kinsfolk in other parts of the world. Better Commercial Relationship There is no reason why a better and keener commercial relationship should not be developed between the American, West Indian and Central American Negroes. The Negroes in Central America and the West Indies are pro- ducers of great quantities of raw materials which can be advantageously used by wide awake and commercially inclined American Negroes as is being done by the white traders of America and England. All that it needs for the encouragement of better trade relationship is a better understanding between the peoples and this cruise affords an opportunity for such an understanding. American Negroes See the Tropics American Negroes should go to see the countries where the bananas, oranges, grapefruit, cocoanuts, lemons, cane, coffee and cocoa grow and at the same time enjoy seeing the beauties of the tropical climes. Three hundred and fifty ($350.00) dollars is not so much to spend for such a good purpose once probably in a lifetime. The white people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars during a lifetime visiting new sceneries in the old and new worlds. This is a chance for the Negroes of America to see the beauties of other parts of the American continent. With the deep interest of all concerned there is no reason why the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company may not develop to become the principal agency through which the race may rate itself industrially and commercially. Everybody's Duty It is the duty of each and every one to help in this direction, and thus we make a universal appeal. All those who desire to book passage for the cruise will write to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. All passages must be booked before the 25th of December. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.

SHAW With the Egyptian Userpation as Connecting the Suea Canal and Nile River with Murder and May Have to Pay the Piper LONDON, Nov. 28. "Our new government has destroyed the League of Nations. It is as dead as a doorbell, but I hope it may again arise from its ashes." "George Bernard. Shaw made this declaration in a lecture tonight, referring to the Egyptian crisis. He continued: "We have given notice that when anything concerning our nation arises we will not refer it to the League, but will pardon it to humble force. "We have been amazed in the last few days—we are pauping. In fact—over the 150,000 pounds that Mister Aigle, but the government went it one better and demanded a half a million pounds—blood money." "The government maintains that Egypt permitted Sir Lee Stack to be murdered—well, England permitted Sir Henry Wilson to be murdered in the streets of London in the same way, and the United States permitted Garfield and McKinley to be murdered in America. "Under this new style of assassination which our government has created, I suppose that from now on these murders of Presidents Garfield and McKinley must be considered suicides, since they were the government of America when they were murdered. "There is no end to the possibilities in this situation. We have commented on with murder and we have connected the Nile with murder. This new style of assassination may mean anything from the collapse of Europe to the partition of Asia. It might even mean what we tried for, and that is a little more war." Shawe is not powerful enough to fight an single handed but it may form an alliance the result of which may be war." Shaw said that "brute force has conquered superintellectuality." SUDANESE TROOPS REVOLT AT KHARTUM LONDON, Nov. 28.—Susanine troops mutuied at Khartoum this morning, attacking the military hospital and killing three British doctors, the natives later "receiving very severe casualties" from British guns. This news was received in Carro about noon in a brief dispatch, and since then official information here indicates all rail, telegraphine and telephonie communication between Egypt and the Sudan has been cut. The first apology at the apparent success of the British coup has accordingly given way to alarm, which is only partly allayed by the reported receipt of a wireless message from the British military authorities at Khartoum tonight that the situation is still obscure but in band. Behind the veil serious fighting may 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glends Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy- ninth Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, demeaned glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be drained and well-known elements. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated and regain the vital force of their mind" in the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery in bringing a renewed sense of vitality where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my host vigor was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says I. P.

The 11th Sudanese battalion, which precipitated the Khartum outbreak, contains volunteers who fought against Mitchelur at Oudhmar. Later dispatches than 'the' above from the New York World indicate that the Sudan country is in state of war and that the British in Cairo are making assaults of radicals on all hands, with resultant - discontent among Egyptians and native Africans alike; the dispatches also indicate an ominous unrest among East Indians. As The Negro World goes to press the war situation in Africa, as far as the British, the Spanish and the Italian governments are concerned, is of the most sensitive nature, with explosions in all directions imminent. SEGREGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA GRAVE PROBLEM Native Newspaper Suggests Country Be Divided Between the Races—European and Native White Interests Clash From Cape Town African Voice The Cape Nationalist Party Congress held its sittings last week in De Arz. A few weeks ago the congress of the same party was held in the Transvaal. In both congresses the important question which figured on the agenda was segregation; Nationalists claimed that unless the blackman was segregated whites civilization was doomed. The issue of "white civilization" was now becoming mainstream measure. It was being raised, it seems to us, not because of fear or love for it, but merely for purposes of exploitation. Therefore, to compare economic conditions prevailing in other countries of civilized nations with those in existence in South Africa is needless under the circumstances. It will be remembered that for the past fourteen years Gen. Hertzog, the father of the Nationalist Party, and premier, has been advocating for a policy of complete segregation. His argument, as well as that of his followers, has been that conditions have arrived to such a state that white and black could no longer live side by side. This recent elections were fought on this issue and—though curious—after Gen. Hertzog had been returned to power he has failed to outline his policy. At the party congresses, the feeling in this question grew high, but curiously again, none of the leaders, or the followers of the Nationalists seemed to adhere to a policy of complete segregation, but partial. It is therefore quite obvious that the motive underlying the policy of partial segregation is (a) to disfriendeus us; (b) to exploit non-European labor for the benefit of the farmers. It was beyond dispute that slowly but surely, "South African" white men were coming to the parting of the ways with the non-Europeans, and under the white man, who was in a better position to do so, cooperated as a guardian and not as an explorer; there we are even poised to justify the gloomy pictures viewed by persons of future. A teering of distrust is evildent and growing every day, and our conditions, with their superior knowledge and civilization should realize the gravity of the situation and play the gauge. If the blackman claims he is losing under disabilities, as we know him to be, if he appeals for cooperation, quality of opportunity and direct representation in the councils of the state which tax and govern him, it is for the white man to consider seriously the advisability of giving the black man the tran渠 in South Africa as well as courtesy of opportunity. Partial segregation would never lead to a solution of our great problem; it would only leave posterior with a graver problem to solve. There is no alternative if future peace and good will are to be secured. The only other alternative is to divide equally South Africa, give one part to the white man and the other to the black man who will from his own government and decide, with further than fidel-pendent of the incurrences of a white parternment. "See What the King Will Give?" Yes From Johannesburg International The insult of all the recent talk about black and white in South Africa is that more hard murs be found for the blacks. Who is going to and if thought? Once more the bourgeois philanthropists with their parental and professors will exhibit their importance against 'vested interests'. Like the industrial worker, the landless native himself will have to fight his own fight, finding his allies among his fellow oppressed, and so extort, by dikt of organised power withdrawn can paralyze capitalist industry in twenty-four hours, what neither a pact government nor a native land act will ever secure to him. Indeed actually denied to him, an at Rustenburg. "Open your mouth and shut your eyes" wins nothing. The emancipation of the workers, black or white, industrial or rural must be obfuscated by the Writers themselves—the very thing the philanthropists must mark, which only shows up the value of their philanthropy and the folly of ignoring, as they do, the 'relief conflict' inherent in their beloved bourgeois society, whether "domestic" or ornamental, such that even with the best of intentions "the king" will give you nothing. BLACK ARAB AND NOW BOB UP IN BLACK AUSTRALIA Mr. St. Clair Ford, residing at Port Talbot, South Wales, U. K., has sent us the article reproduced below, as it appeared in the London Daily Express of November 18. Mr. Ford, writing from the other side of the world, says: "Please publish the article in The Negro World, so that the Negro who reads it won't be ashamed to be black. I am a Negro and a member of the U. N. I. A., and a yearly subscriber to The Negro World. 'Wat's moor,' I am thinking Black. You're for Africa." The article is as follows: Was Adam an Australian black man, or, at any rate, a black man like the modern Australian aborigines, who lived on the continent of which Australia formed part? The idea that this may have been so is set forth by Dr. Ramsay Smith, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a zoologist, anatomist, anthropologist, etc. of Adelaide, South Australia, in his book, "In Southern Seas—Wanderings of a Naturalist" (John Murray, 16s. not.). Dr. Ramsay Smith indicates various lines of investigation into the question of the place of origin of man, and sums up thus:— "A study of all these subjects would appear to furnish material for a theory that man-originated somewhere in, and spread from, an extensive land mass consisting of a southern continent continuous with Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia; that his origin dates back many hundreds of thousands of years; that the ape families were not his progenitors, but his collaterals, and that the Australian aboriginal is probably, among surviving peoples, nearest to the primary stock and not impossibly the source from which many, if not all, of the other peoples originated. "There is perhaps more scientific foundation for this, theory than for many that have been advocated." One of the theories that Dr. Rumsay Smith mentions is that "in Africa the little pigmy was first evolved from the Pithecanthropus erectus, or an anthropoid age in the Nile valley, and that these little red men, the first human beings on earth, spread all over the world until not only Africa, but Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Oceania were populated by them, evolution continuing progressively in the following order—Rushmen, Malabasa Negro, Nilotic Negro, Masi, Mongoloids, Aryanists." The Australian Adam may not have abandoned falls and monkey nuts for shoes and tobacco in that continent of Australia; indeed, Dr. Ramsay Smith says that it is accepted as almost indisputable that the Australian race migrated from some distant center to its present habitat. Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace pointed to resemblances between Australian aboriginals and certain Asiatic races, and Dr. Senon adopts the theory, says Dr. Ramsay Smith, "giving the reasons that lead him to do so, that the Australians and the Dravidians, primitive inhabitants of India, have sprung from a common branch of the Mexican race, and that the Caucasians have undoubtedly sprung from the Dravidians." "This makes the Australian, morbid more nearly allied to us than the comparatively civilized Malays, Mongols, or Negroes. Speaking popularly, according to this view, the Australian aboriginal, racially, would be the uncle of the Caucasian." Most anthropologists, however, if added, now accept the theory of one original race, and Professor Hamass Smith writes the opinion of Sir Arthur Keith, the most famous living anthropologist, who states: "Of all races of mankind now alive, the aboriginal race of Australia is the only one which, in my opinion, could serve as a common—ancestor for all modern races. The common ancestor has to yield descendants which, on the one hand, might become the typical inhabitant of Central Africa, and, on the other, the fair-haired native of Northwestern Europe. The Australian native has those intermediate and generalized characters needed for such an ancestral form." The Australian aboriginais are a primitive, but not, it is insisted, a degraded race, either physically, mentally or morally. Men over six feet in height are not uncommon. The legs and, arms are longer than in Europee—a feature which "appears in certain ancient directan works of art which have been regarded as of the greatest beauty." The ordinary black - fellow" says Dr. Kenneth Smith. "It is From the New York World Compare these three events in the world's history: (1) On November 15, 1897, two German missionaries were murdered in the Chinese Province of Shantung. Germany demanded not only punishment of the assassins and reporation for their crime but the favorable conclusion of certain negotiations for railway, mine and harbor privileges which were pending at the time. China capitulated. Shantung became a sore spot in international politics for twenty years. (2) On June 28, 1914, the Arehduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife were murdered at Sarajevo. Austria was pushed on by German diplomacy. But Austria demanded of Serbia not only punishment of the assassins and reporation for their crime but the favorable conclusion of certain negotiations which were pending, concerning activities in Serbia directed against the territorial integrity of the Dual Monarchy. From Sarajevo came the war. (3) On November 19, 1924, Sir Lee Stack, Governor General of the Sudan and Birdar of the Egyptian Army, was murdered in the streets of Cairo. Great Britain demanded of Egypt not only punishment of the assassins and reparation for their crime but the favorable conclusion of certain negotiations which were pending over Sudanese water-rights and the control of foreign policy in the new Egyptian state. Egypt has promised punishment of the assassins and paid an indemnity of $3,000,000. But for the moment Egypt holds out against England's political demands. In all three cases a powerful government addressed a weaker government. In all three cases the ultimatum turned out unhappily for people near at hand and people at a distance. British rule may be vastly superior to native rule in Egypt; unquestionably it is. All the facts in the dispute over water-rights may be on Britain's side; quite possibly they are. It may be that empire and the world's good demand that Britain steer the foreign policy of Egypt now, tomorrow and forever. The fact, nevertheless is that a group of British statesmen have used an assassination, as the Germans used an assassination in Shantung and the Austrians used an assassination at Sarajevo, for the presentation of political demands and the achievement of results which diplomacy had been unable to accomplish. The same forces are not necessarily present in the background. But in so far as there is prescient for this event, it promises England, Egypt and the rest of us a small reward. Salutes First Ship of The Black Star Line From the "Business and Industrial Advocate This New Negro Steamship Co. incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, with its executive office at 56 West 135th street, New York City, and Marcus Garvey as its president, seems to be making some rapid strides. According to reports, it has, within the short period of its existence, raised several hundred thousands of dollars, acquired its first ship of more than 5,000 tonnage, changed its name to S. Booker T. Washington, and announced its expected voyage on January 11, 1925, from the Port of New York for Central America, the West Indies, Panama and the south of the U. S. A. We are always glad to note such progress among the race and wish Mr. Garvey and his corporation much success.

Burrows, in this note of appreciation, offer his undying, gratitude to the Black Cross nurses of the New York local, one of whose number attended him in his recent illness, Miss Amelia Sayers. It was largely due to her careful attention and splendid work, naturally along with the attending physician, who helped me back on my feet in such a short time. I say to the Black Cross nurses, keep the good work up, for upon your shoulders lies the humanitarian work of the organization. I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the many manifestations of friendship by visit, card, flowers or inquiries of members of the association and friends. uries as his white brother.

Mexican papers recently carried the announcement that the Japanese Government was backing a colonization scheme, to be conducted on a big scale, in Lower California. One journal even announced the coming of a number of officers of the general staff of the Japanese army. In company with a few of the leading bankers of their country. "Should this information be correct, those of our papers, which are everlastingly scenting the danger of a foreign invasion, will be long, make a good deal of ado about this matter. Although Japan is separated from our shores by no less a body of water than the great Pacific, Ocean, a Vertifiable fear has grown up in some quarters that a Japanese army might some day invade American soil. Now we wish to see any of these people come to us even in a peaceful manner; partly for the reason that we have been led to mistrust them. Although we number a hundred and ten million souls, Congress has deemed it necessary to stop over the very insignificant stream of Japanese immigrants which a former law had permitted to trickle through the partly closed gates. Before all, the fact that some fifty thousand Japanese had settled on the land in California was considered sufficient cause for deep concern. It is not the purpose of this article to criticize or command this policy. It would seem, however, that a people who deem it necessary to adopt such measures against another people, should be able to appreciate the reasons which led the Spaniards to institute the Inquisition. For seven hundred years they had carried on a war, the only purpose of which was to drive from the Peninsula the Moslem Moors. These had conquered virtually all of Spain, and it was not until after the capture of Granada that their power over that country was broken. But while the Mohammedan rulers had faced across the Straits to Africa, hundreds of thousands of Moors had remained in the country and had been permitted to continue in their religion. It was only after it had been discovered that the Moroccan were conspiring with their former masters in Africa that the government considered it necessary to adopt measures which alone seemed to promise success against an inadmissible internal foe. It must not be forgotten that the shores of Africa lie very close to those of Spain; that on those shores powerful Mohammedan rulers were so well entrenched that up to the very beginning of the nineteenth century they were able to exact tribute from every nation of Europe. Furthermore, just about the time the Moroccan were discovered to be enemies to the peace of Spain, the Turks, having captured Constantople, were making ready to invade Western Europe. In 1526 occurred the battle of Mohanes in Hungary, which cost the last king from the ancient royal family his life, while the Turks remained in possession of Hungary and its capital, Buda-Poash, for virtually two hundred years. As in the case of the antagonism of the people of the Pacific Slope, and for that matter, of Australia, toward the Japanese, the original Spaniards were influenced by their racial aptitude to the Moroccos. The celebrated historian, Leopold von Ranke, in one of his first works correctly sensed this as one of the basic reasons why the Inquisition was really popular with all true Spaniards. He emphasizes the great value which pure blood, the simpleza, had in their estimation. Not to be of pure Spaniard blood seemed to them a felony, and since descendants of Moroccos and Jews who had expelled Christianity, were in secret still adhiring to their former faith, while the people of pure blood were Catholics of strong conviction, heresy and impure blood became synonymous. Leopold and Ranke contend that the Inquisition because it was, so to say, a weapon of the pure blood against the impure, the children of Germanic and Romantic Christians against the descendants of the Jews and Moors, obtained so great a backing by public opinion. After our entry into the late war, state councils of ware organized in each commonwealth of our country. The danger which they were organised to meet was virtually negligible when compared with that which the Spanish people faced about the year 1600. The means those councils adopted to suppress even the slightest antagonism to the war, including the conquestions, education, were not, as we aware as some of those employed by the Inquisition. But one may readily cognize what might have been, had the enemy been repersonated from us privately by a strang and had one of our leading statements been accompanied by a German, while alone Pluko HAIR DRESSING PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Co.

The Naming of the Ship And Building Commerce From the Richmond Planet President: General Marcus, Garvey announces that he has paid enough money on the steamship to enable him and his company to secure possession of it and that he only needs $21,000 more to complete the purchase. This is a remarkable achievement on the part of a remarkable leader. So far, so good, but it seems to us to be plainly apparent that an appeal or at least $250,000 more should be made to enable the management to have sufficient funds, in hand to make the venture a success. The purchasing of the steamer is the smallest part of the venture unless it was done simply for advertising purposes. The need is to place the vessel upon the high seas as a paying proposition and there should be some leader near enough to Garvey to enable the organization to attain success in this second breaking movement. Trade and commerce is the key to the success of any race or people. Whether Marcus Garvey and his followers succeed or fall, they deserve credit for having launched a movement in the right direction. Dr. James Made Royal Fellow WASHINGTON, D. C.-Dr. Herman Haughton James, a graduate of the School of Medicine, of Howard University, returned to the United States last Thursday with possibly the most distinguished honors ever conferred upon a Negro physician for work in his profession from this country. He is a licentate of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, of Edinburgh, and a licentate of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, distinguishing himself in medicine, surgery and midwifery. Dr. James graduated from the Howard University School of Medicine in 1912. He has practiced in Bridgeport, Conn., and New York city. He sailed for Scotland in September, 1923. (By the Associated Negro Press) DURHAM, N. C.-Dedicating their efforts to the motto, "Service to the Race, Rather Than the Making of Money," and declaring that "the future of the race depends upon our ability to develop business, solve our economic problems and take our places in the commercial world along with other peoples," more than fifty leading business men from various sections of the country met here last Monday to consider plans to stabilize, strengthen and protect Negro business. The occasion was the formal launch of the new million-dollar National Negro Finance Corporation. The group of earnest, capable men of affairs, representing in themselves and their institutions resources running into millions, who sat in conference all day studying the plan and program proposed, expressed the unanticipation that a step had been taken which means a new era in the commercial life of the Negro, and, therefore, by natural sequence, in his social and civic life as well. It was freely admitted that the corporation was destined to be very profitable, but the idea of service is ever to be held uppermost. The organization of the National Negro Finance Corporation was announced at the Chicago session of the National Negro Business League last August. Dr. Robert B. Moton, who originally proposed the idea, is its president. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual, is chairman of the executive board, while W. Gomez, of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of Durham, who is now recognized as one of the organizing (Continued on page 7) SAYS ORGANIZATIONS AND MOVEMENTS LIKE NATIONS FAIL FROM WITHIN—THE L. N.

Garvey Points Out Danger the Race Is Facing Through Negroes Living Above Their Means—Says the Negro Has Not Disciplined Himself Along the Lines of How to Live—Negroes Pay Higher Rents Than Others and Get Less Wages—How Do They Do It? TALENTED ARTISTS APPEAR ON MUSICAL PROGRAM—HUGE AUDIENCE IS GIVEN RARE TREAT LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, November 30. At a special meeting held in Liberty Hall tonight over 3,000 people attended, paying an admission of 50 cents, and were given a rare treat by the excellent musical program that was presented and the stirring speeches that were delivered. Among the soloists were such talented artists as Miss Ethel Oughton Clarke, one of the leadjig sopranos of the race; Prof. Packer Ramsay, the famous baritone, and Miss Vera Collins, all of whom, accompanied by Miss Vivian Douglass at the piano, executed their numbts with a skill and grace that brought them many encores. The speakers were Holl William L. Sherrill and Hon. Marcus Garvey. Mr. Sherrill, speaking on the subject, "The Danger Point," made an analytical discourse on the failure of great movements which he said was brought about not from outsiders, but from within the movement or organization itself. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to fail, he said, it can only fail when those who make up the organization allow themselves to reach the point where they make themselves a prey to those who would destroy. He warned the members not to fear such enemies as Dulbois, Pickens and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; for they can do no harm as long as the organization remains strong from within. Hon. Marcus Garvey gave a practical talk on "The Negro Living Above His Means," in which he pointed out the danger that the race was facing through Negroes trying to live above their means. Bringing facts and figures to bear he pointed out how the Negro in trying to imitate the other fellow was over-living himself and spending more than he actually earned by which means he was led to commit crimes and constituted himself a menace to society. He warned Negroes to pursue a different course of living and to adopt the same methods of careful calculation that other races used in their manner of living. Following are the speeches: following are the speeches: HON, WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS Hon. William Sherrill spoke as follows: I am going to speak to you this evening for a few minutes on this subject: "The Danger Point." We have just four weeks left; in the old year, I feel there is no better time than this for the members of the great Universi- ngal Negro Improvement Association, who are planning bigger things for the year 1923 than they have been able to bring about in the preceding years, to start box strengthening, the outposts of the organization and training so The Gland That Causes Men To Get Up at Night The gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a notorious trouble maker. It is estimated that sixty-five out of every 100 men post foetus, and many under that age, have prostate trouble, which, if unchecked, often leads to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washer. Naturally, when the bladder becomes inflamed by pilsons which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation spreads to the prostate. As the gland swells, it closes the neck of the bladder, making urination difficult and painful and causing pain in the back, head and legs. An easy way to great these annoying and dangerous conditions is to quip one order to run a pills after each meal. The renex formula has been victorious in thousands of such cases.

Movement Fail From Within Movement Fall From Within I want those of you here tonight to remember—to carry away with you and ponder this one thought that I am going to leave with you—that movements fall from within. Most of us when we think of the failure of great movements—of a great organization—we think of that failure coming from some place from without. We expect it from over there—we expect it from over youder. Many times looking for the approach of the enemy from the direction in which the enemy is not coming, we allow the enemy to slip up on us from the direction we least expect. Great movements start falling from within. Great movements like great nations fall after the heart dies. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, as we have said from time to time, is a great organization that is destined to live until the black man realizes the objective or the objects or the things for which he is striving. And yet if the great Universal Negro Improvement Association is to fall it can only fall when those who make up the organization allow themselves to reach the point where they make themselves a prey to those who would destroy. `When Nations Have Fallen` When Nations Have Failed History records the failure of nations. When we rend of the failure of Greece history will tell us that Greece was overthrown when the barbarians from the North overran her. But the keen student of history will discover that several decades before barbarians overran Greece, the national structure of the great Greek Government had been weakened by infidleness, much loathing, selfishness, making Greece an easy prey to those who would destroy Greece. Had Greece remained strong, had her solidarity been unbroken she would not have been an easy prey to those who would destroy and perhaps the history of her ascendancy and her achievement would have lasted for many centuries more. Rome had rotted at the heart half a century, before the vandal hordes swept down upon her. If Rome had maintained her solidarity—if the vitals of Roman nationalism had not been eaten with greed, selfishness, boasting, pomp and splendor, the mighty Rome that fall before the shrub of the Northern hordes would have perhaps lived for centuries longer. As with nations so with great movements. Five Reasons for Failure Five Reasons for Failure The Universal Negro Improvement Association's greatest danger point is from within. Movements fall from within for several reasons. Let us see what are some of those reasons. Movements fall first sometimes because the fundamental or the basic principles are wrong. These of us who are acquainted with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, those of us who know the program of this organization know that the basic or the fundamental principle for which we arrive in right. We have no doubt, we have no fear of that. We know that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. time simply ask in this world for guidance for all men. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do not rely Black men up and white men down. All we say in that black men must have equal opportunity, with every other race to make its contribution and play its part in this world. The basic principles of the organization are right. Let us go a little further. Movements fall again because these fundamental principles sometimes are wrongly applied. That calls to the attention of those of us who lead and of those of us who follow the necessity of seeing to it that, even with the righteousness of our cause, the basic or fundamental principles for which we strive, for which we work, and for which we sacrifice, are rightly applied. These movements fall again because selflessness and suspicion sometimes take hold of those who serve and those who lead. Movements fall because sometimes those who are at the helm become power drunk, those who are at the helm become drunk with sucess, those who lend become drunk with much prosperity and forget the sacred principles to which they have dedicated their lives, forget the sacred principles for which they have awaver to live and die by; thereby rendering the organization weak, and an easy prey to those from the outside who would destroy it. Movements fall again because sometimes of, the suspicion of those who make up the movement or the organization of each other. That is, sometimes movements reach the place where those who make up the movements, who must have confidence in the next fellow, begin to get auspicious of everybody and everything. As a result enthusiasm wanes, interest lags, making again the organization that they so dearly love an easy prey to those who would destroy it. And then the last or the fifth. Movements fall because of the lack of vision. And I think that the lack of vision would form the sum total of the other four reasons that have been given among the many that there are of the failure of great movements. A Misunderstanding Many of us who say we have the vision of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have not, because we so easily allow the least misunderstanding, we so easily allow the least dissatisfaction, we so easily allow the least petty jealousy to obstruct us or turn us aside from the goal toward which we are striving. What do I mean by the vision of what you are sir ving for? Some of you sitting here tonight have a vision of a home some day which inspires you to we and to sacrifice, inspires you to cut short those things which you would like to enjoy. You see that home completed, you see it furnished, you see every comfort that you want in that home, and that very vision makes you willing to undergo things that you would not otherwise undergo, because you have a vision of that thing that you want.

L. Gaines case against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in which he sued for the maximum salary and was given judgment for $6,608. The President-General and Council believe that the Association has a splendid case for appeal in that the verdict of the jury was against the weight of evidence and against the charge of the learned judge. Captain Gaines, during the trial, denied that the Association, in 1921, voted a minimum salary scale for executive officers. He was supported in this denial by the following ex-officials of the organization, who have been out of the organization for the last two years for cause: Eli Garcia, Sydney DeBourg and Thomas Anderson. A bond must be secured in another twenty-one days to stay the judgment. All divisions and members are therefore requested to send in a donation to the Parent Body to help fight this case successfully for the organization. All donations must be sent immediately and must be in hand of the Parent Body before the 18th of December. Already acknowledged: New York Local $180.00 Marcus Garvey 20.00 Send your donations addressed to the Chancellor, Universal Negro Improvement Association, marked "Gaines Appeal Fund."

Some of you have a vision of attaining certain heights in life; some young man and young woman have a vision of becoming lawyers, doctors or merchants, or engaging in other pursuits of life, and that vision supplies the steam and the force and gives you the endurance to struggle on until it is flaized. Illumination is in the rear." (Laughter.) No Need to Fear Outsiders The lack of vision with those who strive for a great ideal cause them to lose the vision of the thing for which they strive; thus they work the organization, weaken the structure and make it easy for them from On Looking Ahead The Universal Negro Improvement Association's program for the last six years has been one of giving to you a vision that the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been striving to get the black man to see far enough ahead and see enough far ahead to inspire him to be willing to pay the price that is necessary for the realization of a great bleed. As I have said before, and as I say again tonight, the Universal Negro Improvement Association I feel sometimes has hard job on its hands in getting the Negro to see ahead. You know it is a job to get my folks to see ahead and why. My people are far as they see about the middle of next week. It is hard to get the black man to租 ahead. The black man never sees Main street until somebody else gets on Main street, owns all the newspapers on Main street, and then he goes down to Main street to get a job. The black man never sees the heart of town until somebody else owns the heart of town here in America where the black man hirs had the largest latitude, the greatest freedom commonly to build and buy and take hold of real estate. I go from town to town and city to city and find him on the outskirts and somebody else owning the main part of town, simply because he could not see that the white man that owns New York the white man that owns St. Louis, that the white man that owns Chicago, saw Chicago, saw New York, saw St. Louis when it was not much more than just a woodland, saw thirty, forty, fifty years ahead when New York and Chicago, City, and other great cities would be mighty thirteen metropolises and seeing ahead he got hold of that thing that make, him a millionaire today. To some Negroes that I meet that have been in the town I say: "How long have you been living here, Brother So-and-so." "Mr. Sherrell, I have been living here for thirty years; I was living here when--you see where the Union Station is--I was living here when down there where the Union Station is it was nothing but a woodland." The white man has got a $1,000,000 down there now. "You see over there where that factory is? I was living there when lots were selling for fifteen dollars aplice, and, says he, I had money then and could have bought land there, but I didn't know the town was going to go that way; if I had just knew then," says he, "what I know now." The white man now has got a big million dollar factory there employing two or three hundred white girls and white boys. The Negro was living in the town when the thing was the name, but he could not see, he wasn't able to see fifteen, thirty or forty-five years ahead of him. He could see a long ways back, but he couldn't see far ahead; if he could just live his life, over he would be worth money. We would have a great race tonight if we could just live over about thirty years of our lives. As I said somewhere in the countryside, the other night. "The Negro is one of a lightning bug all by illumination is in the rear." (Laughter.) No Need to Fear Outsiders The lack of vision with those who strive for a great ideal cause them to lose the vision of the thing for which they strive; thus they weaken the organization, weaken the structure and make it easy for those from the outside who would destroy to destroy the thing that they love. We need not fear in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for Dubois or Pickens or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They can do no harm as long as the organization remains strong from within. Then let me leave this parting word. "The danger is with you; the danger is not with the fellow sitting next to you or the fellow sitting behind you; you don't need to watch the fellow on the other side of you or in front of you. The danger is with you losing your enthusiasm, losing your interest, losing the vision of the thing that you started out for in 1921, or 1922 or 1923, thereby rendering the whole structure an easy victim to those who would destroy it. Let us remember that even though the clouds may some time disrupt the view of the star, that we saw them when the sky was clear and we know that they are there, and with that thought we are encouraged to struggle on until we realize the ideal for which we strive. (Applause.) HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marvin Garvey spoke as follows: I am going to speak briefly to you on the subject, "The Negro Who Lives Alone His Means." I have selected this subject because of contact and experience. An leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association it is my duty to advise, inform and educate as far as possible the members of the organization up to their duty, not only to the organization, but to themselves, their duty to the community in which they live, and their duty to the race as a whole Naturally as such a leader, I come in contact with other leaders, not only of my own race, but of other races. I also come in contact with large numbers of people from an administrative position and relationship. It is my duty to study them and it is my duty also to include everything that concern the Negro by way of information. My attitude of information is huge. I am told to talk about it I can tell you again, and I want to tell you that will help you to live better lives, happier lives, more prosperous lives and lives that will not only help you individually but lives that will help the race collectively as a whole. Starting Life Wrong The greatest sin of the average Negro today is that of starting life wrong and in doing so and in persisting in that wrong course he not only hurts himself but he hurts the whole community and the whole race. The point that I want to make is that of overdoing—that of over-living ourselves. A large number of you know that the people alongside whom you live in the great Metropolis of New York have opinions about you. It is every man's right to have an opinion; it is the employer's privilege to have an opinion of his employed and there is a great question that is worrying and puzzling the mind of large number of complaints all over the country, and all over the world for that matter, as far as the league goes. The question is how, in it possible for the league to go far of the fear that we are going? So had an answer to that question, complaints and employers have worked all kinds of objections, and yet the thing remains a mystery. In America we pay higher rent than any other group of people in the United States of America; yet we get the least wages. It is a purple to the white man and it is a pumple to the world. How you do it. God Almighty only knows. I don't know and I have been with you for 37 years. But there refutes a grave doubt—a great question mark—as to how we do it; and behind that question mark the opinion is not very good. I am talking new of the white man's viewpoint. I cannot tell you everything which from my experience I know what the opinion is, but I want to say just a few words, because we are drifting further apart—further away from sinless and sobriety and good judgment as a race of people. Would you imagine that there is no race of people in the world that lives as the Negro does? We are the only teq-heavy race in the world. We are the only race that lives beyond its means. Take a survey of all the other races of the world—the Jaws, the Italians, the Greeks, the Irish, the Pelos, the Indians, the Egyptians, the Mexicans, and everybody and you will find that we are the only race that consistently and continuously lives above its means. It is by that that we are judged in the eyes of the economic world. We are a puzzle, but behind the puzzle, as I said, there is not a pleasant opinion, and it is that opinion that we desire to break as an organization, why we want this heart to heart talk in Liberty Hall and this heart to heart talk with our members everywhere, so that we can readjust ourselves 'sobely and intelligently to meet the world in which we live. Toke the average Negro—the average Negro in America and in the Western world lives nearly 90 to 100 per cent above his means; and every one of you in here knows it to be true. The fellow who gets $20 a week tries to live on $50, and the result is that he is in hall for all his life. Life to him in always a misery. He is always borrowing; he is always paying; he is always turning the first cross street when he intended to turn the second, because he sees somebody coming up the street that he doesn't want to see. (Laughter). And when all his friends have found him out in town he moves to another town. You go to the pawnbroker's shop across the street on Lenox avenue and ask "Uncle Joe" who are his greatest customers, and he will tell you that 99% per cent of his customers are members of our race. Take all the pawnbroking shops from 149th street down to 124th street, and you will find that the Negro support all of them. We pawn TIS TRUE! YOU HAVE CORNS BUNIONS OR CALLUSES ON YOUR FEET?

LET'S PUT IT OVER MR. GARVEY'S DEFINITION OF THE INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF PRINCIPLE SOME one has said that an idea once born into the world never dies. It is indestructible. It renews its youth through the ages until it has completed the mission to which it was born. It may take ages to be worked out by many generations, but it keeps on working until its purpose has been accomplished, when it takes its place in the Valhalla of cosmic force. We like to regard a thought, an idea, from this viewpoint. And have you stopped to consider how few new thoughts, how few new ideas, are born into the world? We are mostly governed by commonplace thoughts and ideals which have become ours by prescription, but which were young and startled the people of the times in which they first made their appearance and began to influence the life of mankind. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in his Sunday night talk at Liberty Hall, November 23, and published in The Negro World of last week, talking about the ups and downs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has troubles of its own just as other organizations have, because it is very human, as all organizations are when they are not selfish and brutal in their constitutions and methods. Mr. Garvey said: "We have had some hard hits, but let me tell you men and women of Liberty Hall and of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world, we have not started yet in the experiences that we must go through before we reach our objective. There is much more we will see; there are many more experiences we will have before we can reach the goal. Take pattern after the people I have named—the great Irish people, who have suffered for 750 years; take pattern after the Indian people, who have been struggling for the last century; take pattern after the great Egyptian people who have suffered all the way up to where they are today. You have to duplicate the same sacrifice; you have to duplicate the same determination; you have to wade through the same avenues of disappointment and discouragement before you can reach the ultimate goal of your desire. And I say that those of us who lead and who know what we are about are satisfied that we have traveled splendidly up to this period that I spoke of last Sunday—the second period when the Universal Negro Improvement Association will take on new life. The bigger work of the organization is still before us, and those of us who are responsible are not afraid to show the responsibility of carrying on the work." That is to say, the principles underlying the Universal Negro Improvement Association are indestructible. Until Mr. Garvey gathered them together in one place and gave them an organization of people of the Negro race in every part of the world, who have become as one for the carrying out of the principles, it was not considered possible that such principles had any life in them or could draw to themselves millions of Negroes who believe in them in a world-wide organization. Now that the thing has been done, the organization and principles having become living facts to be reckoned with, they will not die and they will accomplish the good work for which they were born out of the consciousness of Marcus Garvey. HOW CAN WE EDUCATE THE BOY TO BE A SUCCESSFUL MAN? Now and then we find encouraging evidence that our schools and colleges are trying to discover the principles of vocational guidance and lessen the number of misfits in the world. Professor Brigham of Princeton, a psychologist, now says that the theory of natural aptitude for a particular business or profession is unsound. He contends that natural aptness counts for only 20 per cent, and general ability for 80. He says that so-called inaptitude for certain pursuits is a matter of distaste rather than actual inability. The professor's conclusions show how far wrong a man can go when he tries to apply scientific measurements to human nature. He soffs at "distaste" and emotional bias; but it is precisely these things that effect human ability. What man ever achieved a commanding position in a profession that he hated? Will power cannot get full results unless it is accompanied by desire. What amount of will power could have made an engineer of Shakespeare or a poet of Andrew Carnegie? Can you imagine Paul Dunbar and Booker Washington exchanging places? The very qualities that bring success in one profession bring failure in another. The prima donna's vanity, jealousy and temperamental fits which would disqualify her for anything else, help her to succeed in the opera. The oven temper and the cool self-control of the trained nurse make her too phelgmatic to the opera. We can never hope to pick out the exact profession for which you are best fitted, to say whether he should go into the steel business or the coal business; whether he should sell bonds or sell shares. But we can group and classify the professions, and thus not an early age how to direct a boy. Preaching, law and have upset points in common; so have medicine, dentistry surgery; so have chemistry and invention and mechanics; so have speech, literature, painting and sculpture; so have business and education. Given certain qualities a man might succeed in any profession in any of three groups. That is to say, Henry Ward Boscher might have made a great lawyer or politician; Edison a great chemist; Shakespeare a fine musician; Napoleon a wonderful financier; Rothschild a successful soldier. We do not say so certainly, for even cognate professions have decided differences; but our point is that a man's chances of success in turning from one vocation to another depends upon their correlation. A Colgridge or a Milton would be a joke in business; a Daniel Webster simply could not be a civil engineer; a Raphael as a physician would kill all his patients. A Shelley in command of an army would forget a battle while he looked at a beautiful sunset. Beethoven in a chemical laboratory would be blown to pieces while he dreamed about music. God for His own purposes made us what we are, and we cannot make ourselves anything else. THE COTTON REVOLUTION AND TROUBLE IN THE AFRICAN SUDAN LAST week tucked away in an inch of space on an inside page of the New York Tribune, there was a piece of news that signifies a revolution in the economic world. The dispatch stated that a ship had brought to Boston 850 bales of cotton from the Sudan, in Africa, and that another ship was on its way with 2,250 bales. When America begins to import cotton the world is indeed changing. Ever since Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, in 1795, America has been unrivaled as a grower and exporter of cotton. She raised far more than enough for the New England textile factories and she exported the surplus. From 1861 to 1865 there were serious labor troubles in England because the great textile mills of Birmingham shut down, and they shut down because the Civil War in America had stopped the raising and exporting of cotton. It was said that the North could not win the war because the South had the cotton and "cotton was king." All of a sudden it appears that America is not raising enough cotton for home consumption. For some time the British have quietly experimented with cotton in Egypt, India and the Sudan, and now they have started selling it on our own shores. The chief cause of the South's failure to hold its own is the tremendous Negro migration. The Negroes were the cotton workers and the economic backbone of the South. In time the South may come to realize that in oppressing the Negro it is killing the goose that laid its golden eggs. Another and connecting phase of the importation of cotton from Egypt by American manufacturers is to be found in the fact that Great Britain has just usurped the government of Egypt and supreme control of the Sudan country, ostensibly because of the murder by Egyptian radicals of the Governor of the Sudan and British commander of the army in Egypt. That is the pretext. The fact is that the pretext was used to usurp the government because of fear of interruption with the operation of the Suez Canal, and the fact that the British have demonstrated that they can raise cotton in the African Sudan to supply the home market and with some to spare for export, as the Boston shipment shows. The Nation, discussing the high-handed methods of Great Britain in Egypt, says it is more offensive than the methods of Austria in dealing with Serbia which brought on the World War. The Nation further says: "Egypt has paid five-sixths of the cost of administering the Sudan for the last quarter century, and now England, acting in the interest of her cotton, magnates, would boot Egypt out. The extension of the Geriza irrigation project is tucked in to facilitate the development of British cotton plantations in the Sudan. Here the hand of greed joins that of imperial brutality." The British public justifies the usurpation of Egyptian sovereignty and the League of Nations declines to interfere, while the British have reorganized the Egyptian Premiership and Cabinet in British interests and have withdrawn all Egyptian troops from the Sudan country. The censured news dispatches say that the natives are quiet and that no outbreak is feared, but we have a mind that the fire is only smouldering, and may for years, and will break out in fury. British rule in the West Indies, in Africa and in India, by the terrors of it to the subject peoples, is a scandal of the Christian nations and a menace to the peace of the world. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Never since emancipation—and since the Negro has had the franchise—has there been such an effort made to convince him that his political Salvation was locked up in his breaking away from his loyalty and allegiance to one party and giving support to all the parties. Never before had such an effort been made to convince the Negro that the Republican party is his only haven; but the Republican party is his only haven; but despite the admonition, many of the best thought of the race cast their lot with other parties and caused some little uneasiness in the running—Newport News Star. The poker craze seems to have broken out awe among the Negroes of Indianapolis. We are not thinking of the gamblers in Indiana avenue and others of the underworld about the city. We are thinking of some of our fine young business and professional men and their wives, who spend their leisure and their money in petty gambling. Some of these men are scarcely making a living for their families. Indeed some although dependent upon their wives to keep the wolf from their door, yet find money to gamble away at poker, not to mention the moral degradation involved. The young Negro can profitably wait a thousand years before taking up poker - Indianapolis Freeman. Japan is making itself heard at the league of Nations. No sooner is the monkey-wrench, of unharmed migration for her citizens throw into the league machinery than she demands that she be not discriminated against in the optum trade. It is very likely that she will be pallated. She has guns and ships and munitions of war. The week does not inherit the earth now-a-day.—Boston Chronicle. Let us have common sense, honesty and training! It is not enough to orate and measure our distance by beautiful plattitudes and interesting expressions of the history made since 1861, we should concern ourselves about the possibilities flow, the great good of the ground, how and set of work to use these possibilities to good end.—Pittsburgh American. Editor H. C. Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette, has not lowered his colors even in defeat, but is defiantly standing by his guns and defying the "enemy."—Richmond Planet. There is entirely too much lawlessness and too many criminals are running at large in this city. There are gangs of outlaws here who make their living preying upon an unsuspecting populace. There are numberless dens of vice that are incubators of crime and makers of criminals.—Norfolk Journey and Guide. Present necessity has no time to wait upon future developments. The needs of the present are imperative and must be met now.—Star of Zion. No group seriously consider the growth of the church, or its present states, without saying that the time is ripe for a great revival. The need of it is apparent everywhere and to every one. We know it ought to come. Let us pray for it as well as talk for it. If the church would pray for a revival it would come. Let us pray for it.—Christian Recorder. If our people had capable and proper representation, in the local Republican organization, these obstacles to vital racial progress in this community would be removed, and the greatly desired and needed success attained.—Cleveland Gazette. All of which leads us to the conclusion that a school of religion is no place in which to deline, who shall preach His gospel. It is an institution of training and not of selective Graft. The "drifting" is done by God, who will also decide "Who's Who and Why" so far as the preacher's calling is concerned. Let not mob psychology dominate religious training; let not selfishness banish faith.—Seattle Enterprise. More and more are we beginning to see the light of a new day. Slowly, but surely the Negro awakening to the fact that his salvation lies in his own hands. Accomplishments in the arts, sciences, trade and commerce by members of our group as drawing from our worst enemies the admission that we're almost human.—Omaha New Ira. THE SEASON WE CELEBRATE IS THE DEAD YEAR. The human creature is so constituted that he is never happy. Perhaps, happiness unalloyed is an unattainable thing. We have spasms of happiness, it is true, but they are always followed by convulsive agonies, more or less traceable to the spasm of happiness. In every pleasure there appears to be some hidden poison that spoils it all or leaves a feeling of loss and remorse. We can't understand, and perhaps we never shall. It seems incredible that human beings should be eternally doomed to such condition of existence as has been imposed upon them as far back as we have historical record of the hones and aspirations of the race. The season we celebrate from Thanksgiving to New Year's day is one of sorrow over the death of the Old and the birth of the New Year; and this is all the more strange because we all imagine that it is a season of relaxation, reunion, festivity and pleasure, into which we carry all of our pent-up hopes and disappointments. However we will, however, the shadow of the dead year seems to go over with us into the new year, and in our supremest relaxations and pleasures we feel "that coming events cast their shadows before." Christian people have been hopping for the coming of a new and better life ever since Jesus made the supreme sacrifice on Calvary, but they have had for the most part only the army of destruction, led until recent wars, by the cavalry of horse—which may easily spell the Cavalry of Death. Who of us knows? Certainly oceans of blood have been spilled by wars and rumors of wars among the Christians of the Faith since the Atonement. "Peace on earth; good will to men," appears as remote and unattainable as when the echoes first carried the message out of Palestine into all the world. Indeed, there appears to be more of race and creed hatred among mankind now than when the Christian era was supposed to have presaged and ushered in a new and better life for us all. Nothing has gone wrong in the "plan of salvation," perhaps, and it may be because we are ignorant of the mystical meaning of the word "salvation," and I have a mind that is the case. We don't understand the spiritual meaning of the words we use, even as many do not understand the physical meaning. We often think one way and talk and write another way. We don't understand. Will we ever? It doesn't look as if we shall to me. But it is not for me to strike the doleful note in this season of relaxation and enjoyment, in leaving the old and going into the new year, the new life, as it were. My philosophy has always been to make the most possible out of life under any and all circumstances, and in that way, I have found, we are bound to get a little happiness out of living to offset the big bunch of misery which we have with us all of the time. So, then, let us cheer up in the generous spirit of the season! We have much to gain by looking on the bright side of life and everything to lose by looking on the dark side.

HERBEN of 4the New York Tuberculosis Ass'n UNPROTECTING CHEST PROTECTORS Where are the old red flannals which were used for the making of those protectors of ancient fame in the proposed prevention of pneumonia, colds and tuberculosis and all the rest of the diseases to which the chest of man is heir? Gone with the "rings" which when worn "drew out" the disease. At least I hope so, for, neither the red polor no matter how warm and brilliant, nor the flannel availa much when it comes to the prevention of these diseases. Indeed the very fact that deaths from tuberculosis at least decline gradually from decade to decade would seem to follow rather closely the enlargement of men's minds and the freedom from flannel superstititions. Indeed, it is not certain that the old red flannel chest protectors did not make a person susceptible to colds and the allied infections. Not that the color or material had anything to do with it, save that the latter was overly warm at times. Rather the danger lay in "codding" the neck and chest until it was susceptible to cold. I am certain that better than flannel layers laid under the sensible clothing which most people wear in cold weather is the cold sponge bath every morning, summer and winter. I mentioned this in the article sometime ago on preventing colds in children who seem susceptible to them. It is a simple procedure which is as efficacious in adults. The rendering of the body's surface immune to the influences of the first cold breeze that blows, to "toughen" and "harden" it is to cloth oneself in a more protective covering than all the red flannel we use. A body which has been done in "cotton woul" and never given the fighting chance which a good dash of cold water or cold air would give it is apt to be pretty weak when the almost inevitable clash with some "dratt" comes. Make your skin and your body defenses ready to withstand the onslaughts of cold weather. Nunsen, you know, once had to jump into the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean and swim out to his boat, which was drifting away. He never could have stood that terrific exposure to freezing waters. if he had not been for years subjecting his body to the toughening processes of small doses of cold.

If you don't believe in newspaper space and printers' ink as business-getters, then you had better take lessons in how to succeed from the man who failed. to business groups. Speakers have volunteered their services to address groups on street corners. We find the residents of Harlem genually interested in our campaign. From the most influential men and women in the community down to the little children who come to us for help, we find a strong desire to make Harlem a healthier place.

THE NEGRO THINKS WHITE AND SO RUINS HIMSELF 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 employers are white, and consequently he thinks that everything on earth must be white to be worth white. 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 $20 a week, and the white $15, but somehow the white man's $15 is more than the black man's $20. He lauds the work of white artisans, but he sweats a Negro can't do as they, and the Negro business man who is business-like is simply an "upfish Nigger." Deep in his soul he wishes he belonged to the other race. He thinks white. The Negro who worships the white man falls 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. The pages of history record the greatest sacrifices ever made by man, that the generations of white men might have a better life. But the Negro never thinks of his generations to come; he lives today and yesterday. The Negro never considers his own first; all others come before them. But if he should become blind, dark hands put coins in the cup; if he is crippled, dark hands wheel the chair; if he becomes ill, dark hands administer to his wants, and dark sisters, and brothers from the edge, the church bring him the dues and donations which help him to live. If one dark woman is bad, he loses confidence in all dark, women, yet a dark wife lives her life for his contentment. If he would enjoy himself, he dances with the daughters of dark men, and receives the attentions of dark women. And finally when he has reached a decrepit old age, the dying days are made easier by the attentions of dark children, dark men and women. Still the Negro thinks white. 135th Street "Y" Notes Walter Lambert, of the Junior Division, and Robert Henderson, of the Midnight Division, will guide the destinies of their respective league basketball teams during the 1924-1925 season, which opens on Saturday, December 13.

Black Soldiers Returning from France Said to Have Turned Upon Their Black Parents—Horrible Fate of Cargo of Black Women Sent to France as Domestics and of Another Cargo Shipped to Columbia—French Government Indifferent The following remarkable letter, relating the experiences of Rapon Remi (Rotville), was addressed to Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and is given to the readers of The Negro World for what it is worth. Mr. Remi describes himself as a mechanical engineer, chauffeur. Born at Trinite, Northern District, residing at Port de France, Martinique; now at Christobal, Canal Zone, Panama Canal. If the conditions described by Mr. Remi exist and are countenanced by the Republic of France, it constitutes a scandal which the republic cannot well take the responsibility for and keep its face with its black subjects in Africa, upon whom it so much relies in any time of trouble. The color bar is a dangerous thing wherever it is found, and by whomsoever it is established and maintained. The British are finding that out in the West Indies, in East India and in Africa. Mr. Rapon Remi writes as follows: Sir: Please allow me to enter into communication with Your Excellency in order to make known to you the following facts: battlefields, covered with glory their parents and relatives enclosed (2) most them and enfold them in their arms. I am the son of a black man and of a black woman born under the French flag and considered by the French laws on the same footing as a white citizen. But being a full-blooded African I have always made it a practice to keep a close watch on race prejudice. In school I had occasion to notice that the teacher always took a deeper interest in white children than in the colored. I could not make any comments at the time, owing to my being a more child. As I grew up I found it impossible to reconcile these manifestations of race prejudice with the three tabistic words which the French have placed at the top of their official documents, to wit: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." The World War of 1914-1918 crowned my project of looking into these matters with success. The European doctors who came to recruit young soldiers from the colony concocted a plot with the resident whites, in which plot they were aided, and abetted by some of our own colored men who have studied medicine in France and who having returned home, serve as agents to the whigs to the detention of their own flesh and blood. What a crime! The well-laid plan of the European and Colonial whites, assisted by their colored confederates, was to send all the blacks to fight against Germany and to declare all white youth physically unfit for military service. A few Negroes having ventured to make this remark, they were immediate commissioned as officers, the better to reinforce their brethren. The incident and passive negroes of the French colonies, believing themselves superior to their brothers because of the gilt braid they wear, do not care to associate any longer with their black families, and an longer choose to marry with women of their own race. They say they must marry with white women since they are French officers in every respect. This is so true that after the war they landed in Martinique with white wives and inadmiral their black mothers pass as servants. As to their brothers and sisters, they are considered too black to be considered as members of the family. I, seeing their ignorant airs, while ridiculing them ironically, thus expressed myself: "We are a downtrodden race; let us strive to vindicate the claims of our ancestors, for, in spite of all this so-called French lables, we are more obverse than our antecedents. For they have made our brethren eat sour groves and they are going to make us eat pelides and thorne." "What can be done?" said one of them to me. "Well," said I, "the French liberty, equality and freedom was not made for us pungy Negro descendants of the African race. We have only a travesty of a liberty of masquerade Liberty. Well, since it is nothing but a carnival affair, let us attend the carnival and unmask the French people." Stoutful and passive, my comrades turned their backs on me and went their way. Another time, at the age of 16, in the factory of a citizen, in which I was bound as an apprentice, I cried out in a loud voice: "My father's ancestors were brought from Africa into a life of slavery. My own father is still being exploited in brood day; shall I, the descendant of that race, knowing that in the eyes of divine justice I am a human being equal to all those created in the image of God, shall I submit to the same infamy? No, never." Having succeeded in grouping around me a few comrades of my own age I said to them: "Oh, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity of the French Republic, how many crimes are committed in your name against the no-called adopted members of the black race." Previous to their departure for the promise of the World War these black boys loved their mothers and their people. On their return from the slavery battlefields, covered with glory their parents and relatives enriched it) meet them and enfold them in their arms. What happened then? instead of embracing their parents, these black soldiers kept their relatives at bay with the "Narde a vous," and the astonished families, realised the fact that they were now confronted by enemies more cruel tan the Boaches that had been driven from the French soil. These black boys were loaded down with amunition, such as grenades, bombs, etc., brought back from France to wield against their own mothers. Aristocracy, race prejudice fraud in this, that the black officer must not bow to members of his own family; mulattoes, descendants of the white and black races must not associate with Negroes; educated blacks or mulattoes holding high offices are not to be assimilated to the other colored members of the same colony—this is what French liberty has given us. Satisfied with this state of affairs, the European and Colonial whites who occupy three-fourths of the Martinique territory have established a policy entirely detrimental to the unfortunate black laborers on this island by delegating their authority to the class of colored men to whom I previously referred. The Governor, the head officials, the European constabulary forces, considered as the white guard, are all at the disposal of the civilians of Martinique, where is prefessed the creed, "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity." My plans having developed adulterably from the age of 16 to 24, I thought it time to get married. I did so at Fort de France, October 25, 1919. On June 5, 1921, I landed with my wife at Christobal, American zone. Three months later I was employed in a postal service styled "The Royal Blue Line Special Postal Service for White Americans." Only one Negro in that service, myself, in the capacity of chauffeur, and there I commenced to observe. There also I met your secretary, Mr. Godfrey. At the end of two years I had seen and observed all I wanted to in the Canal Zone. I went to Mr. Godfrey and told him that I had found the answer to my question: that all whites, whether French, English, American or German, all have the same prejudice against the black race imported from Africa; that we are considered like a lot of serfs destined to work unremittingly for our masters and that the worst of the whites are the French. I also told him that at whatever cost I must leave my employment and return to Martinique, caligthen my fellow men and beg them to give assistance to our black brothel in America. He answered me: "You are young; go ahead." Now, how did I come to unmask French people on American territory? In 1933 a commander of the French merchant marine by the name of Renard landed in Martinique, saying he had learned from reliable sources that there was no work available in the locality, and I that he had made a contract with some respectable families in France to bring out some of their colored sisters as servants. The whole thing was a lie. It was nothing less than the beginning of a slave trade. Yet neither the Martinique authorities nor Congress said anything to the man, and he exported some 500 Negro women from Martinique and Guadeloupe. When they reached France our women had to suffer from the climate, and to make things worse, the Commander demanded the payment of 60 francs per month to cover the cost of their message. Not being able to furnish this sum of money, and not being able to speak the French language sufficiently well to understand what was wanted of them, they had to take refuge in flight and to get their living in any way they could. The Congressmen, authorities and Minister of Colonies have commenced an investigation, but it is too late. Those Negro women that have been thrown on their own resources in that wide France will never reappear. But-I, who am also a Negro, who am nether-a Congressman, counselor-general, politician or go-between, but having the Negro blood in my veins, I was watching him closely as to decommes him some day to my married pawn. After this incident of the French Commissioner come the term of the Republic of Colombia. Fourteen women called from Fort de France, Martinique, for Columbia. They did not know where they were going, their papers were not in order and the government of Columbia did not want these black slaves. The Governor had signed their papers without asking these women what was their destination, only charging 10 francs for the signature. When they reached Columbia the authorities forbade them to land. Arrived at the ship's destination, which was Christabel, a caution of 500 was required. As the money was not forthcoming, the Americans ordered that they be sent home. Thereupon some bandits from the Spanish zone decided to land them for immoral purposes. I went to the French Consul and told him about the case. He answered it was not his business, but that of the Martinique Government, who had delivered their passports. The outcome was that they were clandestinely disembarked and dragged to the Spanish zone by the police. And there they were, not knowing a word of English nor a word of Spanish, and abandoned by their own representative. Under those conditions I had to resort to decisive action. I went first and consulted with my wife, and, at the peril of our lives, I went and asked three months' furough, giving my reason for the request. It was granted, but the patron showed clearly that he was displeased. I interviewed the Spanish, authorities, the enigration doctor of the American zone, telling them that the French Consul refused to help in the matter. The doctor put some detectives at work, with the result that the women were rescued and the Compagale Generale Transatlangique Francais was compelled to give them free passage home. I was warmly complimented by the American authorities. In answer to my inquiry how they had come to leave their native land, the women had said there was too much politics going on, people could not get a living, the country will have to be given up to the whites. I set sail at once with my wife foot Martinique, after dispatching this cable to the Governor at a cost of $15: "Rapon Remi to Governor Martinique: "Don't deliver passport to Martinique inquan working women for France, Central or South America. Coming, steamer Puerto Rice. Landing on the 11th of July, I went at once to the Governor with the rescued parties. Out of hypocrisy he congratulated me. He also offered me a position, but as it implied doing political work as a sort of go-between, I promptly refused. I then started to hold meetings in favor of our brethren in America, and I have succeeded in rallying to the Negro cause in America all the unfortunate classes of Martinique. I told them: "People of Martinique, he who is speaking to you is a Martiniquan like yourself. From the age of 16 I have been observing the injustices committed on ourselves through prejudices of color, and I must tell you that we are a prey to the most abominable policy. After seeing what happened to some of your people through the actions of Commander Renaud, and later in Columbia, I can't believe you are going to let any more time elapse before joining hands with your brethren in America. There was much applause. I also informed them I was going away again to have a talk with you, and, on my return would found a branch in Martinique. I Kyo told them they must be guided by principle. "The white Frenchmen had helped the white Americans to gain their independence, so we were colored Frenchmen should help the colored American people. To always remember these words: America-France, Ladayette-Washington. Thinking I may be of some use to you, I am informing you that I am at your disposal in Cristobal. You have only to order and I will obey; for I am not employed at present; On my arrival here the same company told me to wait. Even if you have no need of my services, please remember that the black race must be re-planted in its native soil, never to be supplanted again; and remember that a Negro, born under the French flag, gave his assistance toward the advancement of his race without thought of reward, but solely because of racial affinity. Please to accept, Mr. President, my respectful salutations. (Signed) RAPON REML "There Is Confusion" Arthur L. Funn, 21, colored, of 29 Carlton avenue, Brooklyn, N.

He plans to take an evening course as the College of the City of New York after he graduated from high school next June. His chief interest is literature, and he mentions first among his favorite books, "There Is Confusion," a novel of life among the educated colored people in northern cities, by Jaske Redmon Fauset (Boni & Live-right). This book is recommended on the quarterly book list recently sent out from the central office of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau to all veterans' hostels, as aid to librarians in book selection. Lowell Thomas tells thru of his first meeting with the "Uprivered King of Arabia." Col. T. R. Lawrence, who was later to be the hero of his book, "With Lawrence in Arabia": "One day may not long after Almibad had captured Jerusalem I happened to be in front of a hamaar stall on Christian street, remonstrating with a fat old Turkish shopkeeper who was attempting to relieve me of twenty pendants for a handful of dates. My attention was suddenly drawn to a group of Arabs walking in the direction of the Damascus gate. The fact that they were Arabs was not what caused me to drop my tride against the high cost of dates, for Palestine, as all men know, is inhabited by a far greater number of Arabs than Jews. My curiosity was excited by a Bedouin who stood in sharp relief from all his companions. He was wearing an agal, kuffin, and aba such as are worn only by Near Eastern potentates. In his belt was fastened the short curved sword of a prince of Mecca, insignia worn by descendants of the Prophet. "As this young Bedouin passed by in his magnificent royal robes, the crowds, in front of the bazaraa turned to look at him. "It was not merely his costume, nor yet the dignity with which he carried his five feet three, marking him every inch a king or perhaps a caliph in disguise who had stepped out of the pages of *This Arabian Nights*. The striking fact was that this mysterious prince of Mecca looked no more like a son of Ishmael than an Abyssinian looks like one of Steffansson's real-heired Eskilmer. Bedouins, though of the Caucasian race, have their skins soorbed by the relentless desert sun until their complexions are the color of laya. But this young man was as blond as a Scandinavian in whose veins flow flowing blood, and the cool traditions of flords and sagas. The nomadic sons of Ishmael all wear flowing headdress, as their ancestors did in the time of Esau. This youth with the curved gold sword was clean-shaven. He walked rapidly with his hands folded, and he seemed wrapped in inner contemplation. My first thought as I glanced at his face was that he might be one of the younger apostles returned to life. His expression was serene, almost saintly, in his selflessness and repose. "Who is he? I trained eagerly to the Turkish profiteer, who could only manipulate a little tourist English. He merely shrugged his shoulders. "Who could he be? I was certain I could obtain some information from General Stora, governor of the Holy City, and so I strolled over in the direction of his palace beyond the old wall, near Salomon's quarries. General Romold Stors, British successor to Pontius Pilate, had been oriental secretary to the high commissioner of Egypt before the fall of Jerusalem, and for years had kept in intimate touch with the peoples of Palestine. I knew he could tell me something about the mysterious blood Biedom.

"I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good light, I have finished my course, I have kept the Faith." The interest of the Second Epistle of Timothy is altogether exceptional. It is the interest of a heart-moving tragedy; and yet the tragic gloom which rolls above its heavens is relieved; is lightened, is almost illuminated with golden glory by a strain and tempue of pathetic tenderness. It is as far as we are concerned, the last earthly utterance of an altogether remarkable man; the last will and testament, so to speak, of one in whose character commanding ability, simple and unswerving purpose, unflagging energy, unselfish enthusiasm and warm and wide and sunny sympathy were combined in a degree unraveled in the history of our race. And then, too, St. Paul, as he writes, may indeed be "the aged," but age can scarcely shaken power in such a soul, and here, consequently, he wins the unforbidden homage we pay spontaneously to one who, in the fullest vigor and energy of life, looks straight and calmly into the eyes of death. St. Paul is lying in his prison in Rome. It must be about the end of May or the beginning of June, 86. The shroud, the gathering shadows of that night which here, for each life, knows no morning, are closing around him thick and fast. The first trial is over; the last is not yet begun. Of the result of the earlier one he seems to have been from the first tolerably confident; he is no less persevered of the issue of the last. Death is coming—surely coming. It is true that he approaches it with unfaltering confidence, which was the necessary reward of so secure a humanity and so stolid a faith; but nonetheless with that deep and solum sense of the nearness of the great catastrophe which is surely the trial and blessing of strong and noble times. For death, at the best even, is always terrible; that one experience which comes only upon and leaves no messages behind. In proportion as the mental person are keen, the mental person is especially aided by the progenitor's sharpness of sensibility to perceive and to pay. To be much to the mind, vitality, to the mind, vitality, is required to create a more heritance, but so good, so strange, is human on seeing of the divine presence of sharpness and. And a little more of new being commemorates with the full interior feeling of the deadfulness of death. Love to life with the deadfulness of life. Still good need it. And so to know you will not question it to blin, are not only to commend with many noble impulses to die the deadfulness, tell to the full one way aligned to a want of empathy that deadfulness, is perfectly gone. What was it that handled the pale faced specimen? How was the grave transformed? In answering this we have the explanation of the subject. St. Paul, in his words, stated that his life is indeed predestined, in mind of the fact that God got his Moses. "The reign of law." We are all subject to that real realm. From the impetus made in the life of Moses and the Israelites, even where we are still in the present age, we know that the prophet, Joseph, was born in the desert of a place where nobody else knew how to live, but with such ideal of the God who reeds in the desert and who expires of a certain will. As in matter in the prefect and the wildest theologians, we are made most aware of the human spirit those which to each man to target that as a man's law, and not otherwise, shall be reap. Now there is one law of Christian conquest, and only one. It is fundamental, it explains, as it has guided, the church's influence in teaches, as it has trained, souls to treasure the only way of lasting usefulness. It applies to all. It is not the heritage of the persevering spirit, but also the rule of the quiet Christian obedience to it. It decides, aided by the value of our choice in cases of death, but it also ennobles the "trivial round" of daily life. Here, indeed, it is thrown out in vivid color from a dark background of death; here, indeed, in full force, it is born in upon the mind, because it comes as no abstract statement, but the life-rule written in the heart's blood of a living and a dying man. In him it found a wonderful completeness: it is the fundamental law of the Church of Jesus—the law of Mercy. How then, for Paul was the grave transfigured? Is the same power by which WEEKLY SERMON life was governed—by the law of sacrifice. "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." When, then, is sacrifice? By sacrifice, speaking morally and spiritually, as now, I mean this: The willing surrender of legitimate desire in submission to a sovereign, an authoritative claim; and the interest of the text lies in this, not only that it expresses he rich result of that law operating in its completeness in a human soul, but also, it limits the stages of trust by which such completeness was achieved. What, let us ask, were some at least of those stages? First, then he had waited up to the reality and requirements of the spiritual life. Man, my friend, is a creature of two worlds, but of one sphere of being, standing he is within the boundary of time, but one foot is planted across the frontier of eternity. Doubly man acts, in one sense, in the same the material world; but why is a matter of such unseen the actions which any soul is found who places, as its ultimate object some work, some design, which is only earthly? Why? Why, simply because, however, this world may be the theatre of manifestation, the springs of emotion in a world of spirit, the true activity of an funeral is a spiritual activity. Little we see of man's real working, just here and there a hint is given by the definite act which meets the senses, execles our blame or sets the chorus of praise re-echoing through the balls of history, but day by day and hour by hour man's spirit, shrouded, velled from his fellow-man, is at work in the spirit sphere. Now, to wake up to this, and to the consequent requirement of defense in this interior life, is to be brought and under the law of sacrifice because this at once to be under the necessity of war. None knew better than St. Paul the great reality of these spirited powers arrayed against the cost of man. St. Paul himself, had to experience the liberality of exertion, had been saved, had expired, and conquered the superiority of man. have some friends to meet Please send me C.O.D. the Blood Red Madison Tuxedo, the postman delivers the package I will pay him the special price of $8 only.

The meeting was called-for the purpose, as Chairman Spaulding expressed it, of talking over, thinking through, criticising and getting started on the plan. It was clearly established that the men and women of the country are a unit in feeling the need of and believing in the opportunities of such an organization as the National Negro Finance Corporation. Some idea of the enthusiastic response of the big business men present to the program when submitted may be gathered from the tremendous subscriptions to stock which they made spontaneously. One man alone, R. J. Beverly, successful farmer of Wadesboro, N. C., whose 1,300-acre farm is one of the finest in his county, rose to his feet, pledged $10,000 and wrote his check for $5,000 on the spot. An interesting phase of the discussion was brought out when it was explained why Moton was selected as president. Dr. Moton was not eager to accept the responsibility. He had work enough to do. But his friends and those who had surveyed the situation insisted that he accept; not only because he is president of the Business League and fostered the idea, but also because the Moton influence can bring to the use of the organization, after it is functioning, almost unlimited funds. Amazing information of the possible contract with the mythical Wall Street" was revealed, including the story of how Dr. Moton has, single-handed, during the past few weeks succeeded in raising $400,000 to save and stabilize a prominent Negro institution. This task, it was explained, could easily have been accomplished by the National Negro Finance Corporation had it been functioning, as the security was gift-edged and ample. Parrish street, Durham, which houses assets of some $50,000,000, was frequently referred to as the "Wall Street or Black America."

Ben Davis, of Atlanta, declared: "We must have faith, the same sort the white man has in its own. We have come to the right men, the ones who can put it across." "My heart is full," said Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Va., the only Negro woman bank president in the world and head of the Order of St. Luke. "We shall not stop," she continued, "but shall put our money and brains together and achieve a commercial emancipation." John B. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church and one of the directors, said: "I am heart and soul with this organization and to the extent of my pocketbook. Why should we not husband our resources and build and enrich ourselves? God consacrates the dollar when we put it in honest service. Let's make it bring heaven to earth and protect the farmer, laborer and the humbler people." Prof. W. G. Pearson, Dr. D. C. Suggs, of Livingstone College, and W. Gomez, who outlined the plan, were other speakers. Cross Country Meet Of Howard and Hampton WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Department of Physical Education made another advance in the promotion of intercollegiate athletics when it promoted a cross country meet between Hampton Institute and Howard University in conjunction with the recent football game between these institutions played at Griffith Stadium, November 14. Cross country running is quite a favorite in the larger institutions and has held a prominent place in fall athletics for a number of years. Unfortunately, colored institutions have been somewhat slow to avail themselves of this opportunity to train and develop youth. The runners finished in the following order: George Pendleton, Howard, first; Preston, Hampton, second; Clayton, Hampton, third; Clarence Pendleton, Howard, fourth; Douglas, Howard, fifth; Parker, Howard, sixth; Richardson, Howard, seventh; Stevens, Howard, eighth; Goodwin, Howard, ninth, and Greene, Howard, Lenth. The spectacle met with the hearty approval of all present, as was evidenced by the enthusiastic cheering of the spectators. The runners themselves are to be highly commended for their persistent training efforts, which enabled them to turn in a good race over a very difficult course. It is to be hoped that this meet is the forerunner of the development of intercollegiate cross country running among colored schools. The good die young. Ah, well; they wouldn't get on the first page, anyway. FREE WONDER OF THE 20th CENTURY The rare, valuable WONDER OF THE 20th CENTURY The rare, valuable secret book that has saturned the world.

The recommendation is subject to confirmation by the Church Assembly and to acceptance by Parliament. The Dean of Lincoln led the fight against "they," and told many amusing stories which provoked laughter, short wives who disobeyed their husbands because they disliked the word. Dr. Kidd, Warden of Keble, disliked the levity, as the subject was one of gravity, but the dean told him he intended in his own way to show that the word is useless. The dedication of the new national headquarters of the National Association of Wage Earners marks another milestone on the road of progress of Negro women. It stands out in bold relief as a monument to one who spares no efforts in consummating plans that she deems make for good. The action of the English House of Clergy will also have a sentimental interest for women of the United States and other countries, where the rules of the Church of England are, not enforced but where the word is generally used. It is possible that there may be other church denominations which the subject will give consideration similar to that of the English clergy, as the growing public opinion and law that gives women equality with men in social, civil and economic interests necessarily works for the breaking down of church restrictions and obligations upon women not also required of men. The independence of woman in her marriage and other relations with man have undergone a wonderful change in the past half century, especially among English speaking people, in so far that the man and the woman are not regarded, at least in law, as one any more; even when they are joined to each other by the mother church. Much praise should be given the president, Miss Nanilo Burroughs, for the untiring and purposeful efforts she has put forth to better conditions of women workers and for her opposition to the Foster bill and similar legislative measures which did not include the women in service. Miss Burroughs life has been one continued militant fight under many adverse circumstances to place members of the race on a plane of recognition. Her accomplishments are evidence of her success. Women in most lands have begun to take an active and helpful part in all of the activities of life. It naturally follows that churchly restrictions must give way as those of State give way to larger freedom and opportunity. The new freedom is making for a stronger, more self-reliant and self-respecting womanhood, and manhood and womanhood should both be gainers by it. There is no relation than that of marriage which requires wiser consideration and treatment by the man and woman and by the church and State. Moreover, her record lends confidence in any plan which she proposes; for, though it be far-reaching in its scope and difficult of accomplishment, one needs only to look at her record to feel assured that she will find some practical method of brinkling about the desired results. Her future program for the organisation is extensive, expedient and practical. Negro women, must be awakened to a realization of their future position in the labor world. They are—and need be more so—efficient, productive factors in the world of industry. New avenues of employment must be opened to them that each may fall in line with the grand march, thus developing into that type of working woman and creating that appreciative community sentiment of which a community may be proud. RHINELANDER-JONES ROMANCE GOES TO SMASH ON THE COLOR BAR THE country has been all stirred up during the past three weeks over the marriage of Leonard Kip Rhinelander and Alice Beatrice Jones of New Rochelle, New York. The newspapers did not bring about the marriage of the couple but it looks much as if they might not be held responsible for making it a failure from the beginning, as young Rhinelander has instituted suit or divorce on the ground that his wife deceived him as to her race and color. He belongs to one of the oldest an wealthiest of New York families, which moves in the highest social circles, the family reputed to be worth over a hundred million dollars. Those of the race who have commanding personalities and executive abilities should ally themselves with Miss Durroughs in carrying out her plans. Any project with so great a scope needs competent associated leadership. Mrs. Rhinlander has stoutly declared that she is not "colored" at all, and that may cost her dearly, as the record appears to show that her father is a West Indian "colored person," while her mother is an English woman. They are people of ordinary means and standing in New Rochelle, and Rhinlander has been on visiting terms with the family long enough to have known that his wife is a "colored person." He may find that to be so when the case comes to trial. He courted the sister of his wife before he courted her, and she married a "colored person," all about which young Rhinlander must have known. He has just shown the yellow streak because the newspapers have played up "the color bar," and his family have put the screws upon him. That is to say, he is a coward. What Miss Burroughs has done should show the value of upright leadership and the power of organization. It should encourage every member of the race to lend his or her support to the association and convince others, whose speciality is another phase of life; that in "union there is strength." Development of Character Part of Woman's Work --- We cannot see how such marriages can turn out happily anyhow. While the color bar stands in the way those who pass it must expect to suffer more or less social ostracism. The wife and the husband are "cut" by their social set equally, and they both feel it, and it makes for unhappiness and often for separation. Plenty of instances of that sort have come under our observation. Murry within your own race, marry within your own social set, or your married happiness may go to smash as that of the Rhinelander-Jones has. To the Editor of the Women's Page: Kindness is natural and normal in all human beings, since kindness is born or honor, and honor is born of integrity, and integrity is natural and normal in all human beings. In the kindergarten of Life the integrity of black men and black women, black boys and black girls, is weighed by means of the idea of white superiority; in children the idea of white dolls and Santa Claus, etc. Therefore, the kindness of our children is greatly weakened toward each other and toward a member of any other race variety. PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalp and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair. Don't Experiment! MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS WORLD REQUIRED and Mama. C. J. Walker's preparations for sale by Dr. George and by mail Ced Walker Mfg Co. and K. Thayer & Company A kindness by initiation, and a kindness that is unnatural and abnormal, affects our attitude toward dumb animals and plant life. If affects our relation to all forms of life. A black man who does not desire that he himself should live forever in statue, and song and story, will not honor his fellows from a natural and normal point of view, he will not honor others nor treat dumb animals as if they should be treated, nor will he treat a bed of roses as they should be. Any black man or white man will act in the same manner toward vegetation and animal life if he has not been allowed to grow up as God made him, natural and normal in integrity, in honor, and in kindness. Kind readers, my plea is for character building in our race species. My plea is for an aristocracy of will, as well as an aristocracy of intellect. I want us to prepare for a new world and a new democracy. I am sincerely desirous that black men and women take their places in the new order of things, and for that reason I am endearcing to show how it can be done without fear or favor. You asked, is it possible? I answer, it is. Spiritually I am looking this "race problem" quaintly in the face from a psychological point of view, and I say, frankly, here is your only remedy. Let us get busy, for veritably we are bound to stand or fall together. Let the women of our race, especially the younger mothers, get busy in helping to build a place for the present and future generations. We are calling for race-racing women who are not afraid to take a brave stand for pure womanhood. Remember, it is only through and by right living, right teaching of true women, that the world can hope to reach that state of pure holiness and happiness for which we hope and long to see and enjoy. Women of my race, I may to you everywhere, make up, get up, and look about you. This is no time to sleep. You have a great responsibility. God is expecting you to help make this world fit to live in.

Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Federation of Colored Women, one of America's leading Negro women, and Mrs. Jane Addams of Hull House, recently selected by popular vote as America's greatest woman and often referred to as the world's greatest woman, will speak on the subject; "Problems of City Life" at the National Urban League Annual Conference, to be held at Cleveland, December 2 to 5. Other speakers at the conference will be James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor; William J.

In addition, to the administrative problems and policies of the league the discussions will take up such subjects as "Inter-racial Relations," "Cooperation "Between Social Agencies," and "Industrial Problems." The Urban League is well known for its work among Negroes who have come to the larger cities in recent years.

Death of a Great Teacher From the Indianapolis Premen The death of Miss Rosa Selleck, for many years teacher of art in Shortridge High School, removes one more of that select and unusual group of the personalities who have given so liberally and unaccomplished to the cultural life of Indianapolis. Persons like Miss Selleck, the lauded Charity Dye and the one or two remaining immortals whose names and characters are written in the lives of thousands of Indianapolis men and women belonged to the old guard of the most spiritual ideals as exemplified and applied to all of the essential phases of noble living. Miss Selleck was a great soul teaching. It was out of the beauty of that soul, wonderfully endowed and constantly enriched by research and indelicate effort that she taught the youth of the city. The test of a great soul is attitude toward the unfortunate, the hindered, the needy, the man fartherest down. Miss Selleck met this test admirably. The children of the poor, the black boy and girl, the foreign-extracted, received in good faith and appreciated measure the cost she had to give of instruction, sympathy and encouragement, and inspiration. She lives in loving remembrance. There is much in the educational career of Miss Selleck worthy of serious consideration, especially of the faculty of Shortridge High School and of the citizens of Indianapolis. $398 ONLY FOR THIS FINE SLENDERIZING SILK BRAID No Extra Charge for Large Sizes Trimmed SERGE DRESS SECRETS Landondee St. Magnetts Road St. Inverness St. Adam's Road St. Adrian's Road St. John's Adam's Road We Rest St. Jerry's Oceanfront Rent St. Leroy's 21st.

From the Baltimore Afro-American Not only has there been a marked decrease of men and women in the ranks of domestic service, but a growing discontent expressed in increased labor turnover of those remaining, accord- ing to a government report based on an exhaustive study of the Baltimore Domestic Efficiency Association. Figure given in this report show that there has been a decrease of 19.4 per cent in women cooks, 23.7 per cent decrease in general servants and a 48.8 per cent decrease in laborers. In striking contrast there has been a corresponding increase in women barbers, handlers, manicurists, steward- esses and occupations which, according to this report, "do not have the objectionable features of personal domestic employment." While there has been a decrease of laundresses employed in private homes, there has been an increase of the same class of workers in the public places. The Domestic Efficiency Association of Baltimore was organized in 1923 "for the purpose of trying to get at the high labor tessier among domestication and improve the standard of service," and maintained an employment agency as one of its main features. During the first two years of its existence 6,199 men, and women applied to it for domestic work, of which 1,145 were placed. This association has also presented a house for training workers, and expects to start this phase of its work as soon as the necessary funds are raised. Hours and Wages Among some reasons for the low state of domestic service as a desirable vacation are the long hours and lack of standardized wages. The fact that there is no incentive arising from hope of increases due to efficiency is also given as a retarding force. The median wage paid here in Baltimore is $11.70 for women in domestic service. A study of the reports, however, show that wages are not the chief cause of complaint. When the fact that board and often lodging is included, the wages of this class of service corresponds and in many cases is higher than that paid in other pursuits. Family relations were given as another reason for the constant decrease. Married women who do domestic service are kept for the most part away from their families. If they have small children, they in many cases must make arrangements for them elsewhere. Notwithstanding this headache, two-thirds of the women placed by the organization were either married or widowed and had family responsibilities in addition to their work. Other factors included lack of opportunity, for recreational activities at the place of employment and the consequent necessity to spend the nights away. This often proves a strain on the physical efficiency of the younger employees, whose natural desire for pleasure takes them out at night after working long and exacting hours in the day. The whole background of stigmatized service must be changed, according to recommendations made. This includes standardization of wages and hours in this as well as other lines of service. Raising domestic service to the dignity in actual treatment of other professional service. Facilities for training and efficiency. WATERVILLE. Ne.. Nov. 21.

The astronomers are coming to the conclusion that stars heretofore believed to be only millions of years old are really millions of millions of years old. To the New Yorker accounted to waiting for new subways this fact may be interesting, but of no immediate practical importance. Yet it has profoundly affected the conclusions of a few leading astronomers and mathematicians. It has led Dr. Jeans, of the Royal Society, for instance, to change his belief that the earth is probably the only place in the universe that is inhabited to the belief that there may be many other inhabited planets out in the stellar spaces. The reasoning which leads him to this conclusion is somewhat complex. Dr. Jeans has been led by his mathematical researches to reject the common theory that the earth and other planets were thrown off by the sun as it whirled around. He has insisted that the planets must have been torn off from the sun by a very massive star passing close to it. Calculations based on the present position of the stars and their known movements, however, show that the chances of this happening are extremely remote.

Life in the Stars ATLANTA, Ga.-At its recent annual meeting in Richmond the State Interagricultural Committee of Virginia appointed a sub-committee to assist the Virginia Chamber of Commerce in drawing up an effective State housing law. It further urged that all local interagricultural committees get behind this bill when it is introduced into the Legislature and do everything possible to secure its passage. The local committees were asked also to help in the campaign recently undertaken for the better equipment of Virginia Union University of Richmond, a historic institution for the higher training of Negroes, which dates back to 1865 and now enrolls over 400 students. Local committees in cities and towns were requested to seek adequate library facilities for the colored people of their respective communities, and also to urge upon the authorities the good of establishing juvenile and domestic relations courts in each community, with probation officers for both white and colored people. The chairman of the committee was instructed to express to the several community chest organizations in the State the committee's approval of the generous inclusion of Negro welfare agencies in chest campaigns, as has already been done in a number of Virginia cities. The meeting was attended by about fifty members, white and colored, and was in session two days, Dr. R. E. Blackwell is chairman of the committee, and R. W. Miles executive secretary.

Address: COLD LABOR ONE OF PRESENTS MOMENT TO ALL A Constitutional Amendment Is Needed to Secure Proper Legislation to Safeguard Child Life— Agitation On A few years ago the people of this country were so convinced of the elementary necessity to give Congress the right to make laws for the protection of children in States which neglect or refuse to protect them that the child-labor amendment spanned certain of passage. President Wilson, President Harding and Mr. Coolidge had all declared for it. Now Massachusetts has voted against the child-labor amendment, and the forces of reaction have taken new heart. The American people has three times expressed its determination to stop the slavery of children in the mills. In September, 1916, Congress passed a bill prohibiting interstate commerce in the products of child labor. In June, 1918, the Supreme Court ruled that the bill was unconstitutional, holding that it was not in fact borne side regulation of interstate commerce. In February, 1919, Congress passed a new bill imposing a 10 per cent tax on the products of child labor. In May, 1922, the Supreme Court ruled this act, too, unconstitutional. It was plain then that if child labor was to be regulated by the federal government there would have to be a constitutional amendment. Congress adopted such an amendment last spring; to become effective it requires ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States. Arkansas has approved it; Louisiana, Georgia and North Carolina, as was expected, rejected it; and the people of Massachusetts, in a referendum distinguished by misrepresentation, ignorance and deceit, have also voted against it. In January, 1925, thirty-six State legislatures will assemble, and the battle will be on. It will have to be won a fourth time, and it will be. No defeat of such a measure is final, but every victory endures; a State legislature may consider a negative decision but not an KILLS ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER GERMS IN THREE DAYS KILLS ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER GERMS IN THREE DAYS Famous New Discovery, Aathma-Tabs, Succeeds After Everything Else Had Failed—Used by Thousands SENT FREE TO,PROVE THIS No matter whether your case is of long standing or recent development, no matter if you are troubled with any form of Aathma, Hey you are at our expense that Aathma-Tabs will riot you entirely of this terrible suffering in your life.

With the establishment in 1870 the army of British dominance over. The Commonwealth sold the peace for actively suppression—it is in the name of the people. What the British government would do in its absence to the national oppressed communities would be by the State of England. "The Commonwealth shall find peace in their republic and provide the kind of prosperity which most countries possessed." "Under every State in the Union has that power, but those States dominates much back through the years of pleasure effort to take the children out of the mills know how heartily the State legislatures have failed to use their authority. Some States have excellent chief lawmen; some have written laws, and those ill enforced. When this amendment is ratified—as sooner or later it will be—we may exempt federal legislation akin to that killed by the Supreme Court's vote. The federal laws passed in 1916 and 1918 sought to prohibit in mills, factories and workshops labor of children under fourteen, and to regulate—by establishing an eight-hour day and a six-day week—the labor of children under sixteen. They also sought to keep children under sixteen out of the dangerous quarries and coal mines. The National Child Labor Committee, which focuses the national campaign to stop child labor, also proposes to include tenement-sweatshops in the general prohibition, and to extend the prohibition for work in industries dangerous to life, health or morale, to the age of eighteen. No attempt has ever been made to prohibit child labor on the farms: the suggestion of such legislation is a bogy invented by the defenders of child labor to frighten the farmers into opposition—to the amendment. Child labor and illiteracy of courses go hand in hand. All the leading countries of the world except the United States have, by passing national child-labor laws requiring children to go to school up to certain ages, reduced the number of their illiterate citizens. We talk of our enlightenment, but our illiteracy rate is four times that of England or Germany. According to the census of 1820 1,060,783 children under 15 were at work in the United States, and 1,437,783 children between 7 and 13 were not in school. These unprotected children in States which have weak child-labor laws or which do not enforce the laws on their statute-books have a right to look to the national government to protect them. In Massachusetts the Associated Industries, affiliated with the National Association of Manufacturers, early transmuted itself into the "Citizens Committee to Protect Our Homes and Children." One might suppose an association so named a branch of the National Child Labor Committee. It was not; it was a part of an association which masked greed for profits won out of children's labor under the fair name of the American home, and deliberately set out to deceive the people of Massachusetts. It suggested that the campaign to stop child labor, waged so earnlessly in the United States these last decades, was an invention of Soviet Russia. It quoted or misquoted—we have not verified its quotations—from extreme Russian communists who propose to take children out of the home, and declared that these quotations represented the program of the heroic group which has been struggling to save American children from the mills. A letter sent out by Charles R. Gow, general manager of the Hood Rubber Company and chairman of the finance committee of this Massachusetts "committee to protect homes and children," quoted a statement attributed to Zinoviev's wife, that "We must remove the children from the pernicious influence of the family. We must . . . nationalizes them," and continued: The avowed purpose of the proposed Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution is stated above in the exact language of the chief of the forces who conceived, drafited, and lobbied that measure through Congress under the American leadership of Mrs. Florence. Kelley, formerly Wischnewetsky. Falsehood could hardly go further. Neither Zinovieva's wife nor any other Communist had anything whatever to do with the campaign for a federal amendment to sop child labor in the United States. Florence Kelley, a present-day saint, if there be such a thing, is a daughter of a former congressman, also named Kelley, from Pennsylvania. Her mother's maiden name was Boussall. She is American to the coyote one of her sons was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the war. Mrs. Kelley did work for the federal amendment—she has given twenty-five years of her life, as secretary of the National Consumers League, to campaigns in behalf of working children and women in the United States; that is the only truth in Mr. Gow's letter. By such lies—we use the word, deliberately—Missachusetts was induced to vote against the child-labor amendment. The rest of the United States will, we hope, show more intelligence. It will have its chance in January when the legislatures meet. 20 Piece Bedroom Quilt SUTHERN STATE BESTACT DEATH INVIRATION Burrell Sage Foundation Survey Shows Discrimination Against Negro Employment and Suggests How It May Be Met and Overcome "A report which points the way to greater employment opportunities for colored people, which throws light on their difficulties in securing jobs, and which suggests possible means of lessening these difficulties," has just been issued by the Russell Sage Foundation under the title "Publico Employment Offices—Their Purpose, Structure and Methods." While the study on which this report is based was not confined to the employment problems of any one race, there is much of interest to students of race relations in the findings and recommendations of the foundation with respect to employment problems affecting the country generally, and an entire chapter in the report is given over to the problems of colored workers. The report recommends the establishment of a nation-wide system of free public employment offices, to be operated jointly by the Federal, State and local governments, with the State government as the chief unit of administration. In the section discussing the management of local employment offices, the point is made that placement work for colored people can be done best by members of their own race. The foundation's investigators studied employment conditions, in the North and South, in large cities and in agricultural sections throughout the country. They find that race prejudice is limiting very much the occupations open to colored people; until comparatively, recently almost the only lines of work to which they were admitted have been farm and plantation labor, personal service, and common labor. This range of employment should and can be greatly increased through intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for certain other kinds of work, together with discriminating placement. "If a colored man with good training and ability is held down to a common laborer's job because of prejudice, he, industry, and the community all suffer an economic loss," says the report. The report declares that Southern States, in an effort to restrict the emigration of colored labor to the North, are through legislation and license fees making it increasingly difficult, and in some States impossible, for private agencies to send workers out of the State. There are numerous instances, also, says the report, "of the efforts of citizens to prevent the recruiting of colored people for work in other localities or States, some of these even going so far as threats of violence to the recruiting agent." This opposition can be removed through intelligent operation of public employment bureaus, whose object is adjustment, not mere shifting of men, and whose tendency is to place workers as near home an possible. Referring to migratory labor in general, without special reference to the colored race, the report says: "The transfer from one section of the country to another of workers in increasing numbers is an uprooting of home and community relationships that must be looked upon with concern. In the past we in the United States have talked very closely about shipping men from one part of the country to another, as though the desirability of shipment from an industrial and social point of view were unquestioned." That race prejudice has handcapped the colored worker by limiting his choice of occupation is recognized by the 'foundation's investigators. "The first step in reducing this race prejudice," says the report, "is a knowledge of the facts regarding the requirements of particular jobs and the ability of individual workers. When the specific qualifications of a worker are known—what he can do and how well he can do it—it is possible for an employment office to recommend him for SLENDERIZE Your Figure with this ENSEMBLE COSTUME SERGE DRESS $3.95 Cost Dress Size 32 in 84 a commercial job.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE PRESENTING FIRST RUN PHOTOPLAYS We are very glad to note that the policy of the Lafayette Theatre management is to present to the community first-run photoplay that have never been shown in Harlem before. This is gladly accepted because we seldom have the opportunity to see a really good picture up here only after it has made the rounds. That is why we want to make sure that the pictures go down to 128th Street. Just why the management does not feature these pictures more than they do is a puzzle to us because the picture stars draw a very large salary for their work; they are in presenting highly paid artists, not in promoting them, given them in so far as advertising is concerned. We might say that the vaudeville acts are a side line to the feature photoplay and should not be given more display than the latter. We are wishing the new management at the Lafayette Theatre should consider these matters that pertain to their success as theatre managers.

VICTORIA DE LAS TUNAS On Tuesday, the 11th November, the Victoria de Las Tunas division, No. 673, of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. was privileged to entertain a distinguished visitor in the person of the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, delegate to the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, and representative of the Island of Cuba. Prior to this visit we experienced almost continuous rains which lasted for two months. Luckily for the division, the advent of Mr. Bachelor synchronized with a change in the weather conditions so that we were able to hold very successful meetings for four consecutive nights. It was delightful to see members, friends and critics wending their way through the muddy streets towards Liberty Hall to hear the good news brought to us from the convention. At 7 p. m. m. sharp the president, Mr. J. M. James, called the meeting to order in the usual manner. The credentials of the distinguished visitor were then read after which he was introduced to the house amidst thunders of applause. He greeted the audience and then in an eloquent address brimful of interest explained to the audience the most striking features in the work of the last convention. On each succeeding night the gatherings increased, which showed a spirit of enthusiasm. It is most evident that the visit, of this young champion in the cause of liberty has brought a revival in the spirits of the few loyal officers and members, quickened the dead ones into new life and silenced the most captious critics. A few new members have been enrolled and the enthusiasm of lukewarm members has been rekindled through the soul-stirring addresses of the Hon. R. H. Bachelor. G. S. BARNES.

Now, it may seem amusing, but it is personal, it is dangerous. A race that lives above its means will ever live in poverty and want; not when you take good luck of the Negro throughout this country and throughout this Western world, you will find that all that we amount to in to work for others, keep on working and keep on suffering without ever living his as it really should be lived by sober-minded and judicious race! Look at the Jews—the Jew, whosoever he comes from Poland or Russia or Germany. Watch him carefully and when he gets $10 a week he lives on $8 and saves $2. When he gets $15, he lives on $10 and saves $2. When he gets $20 he lives on $14 and probably saves $6; when he gets $50, he lives on $25 and saves $25, and he keeps on saving and spending less than he earns for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years, and at the end of 20 years you will find the Jew a prosperous citizen and a successful business man, and 30 years hence you will find him one of the big millionaires of your community. Take the Negro who started at the same time with the Jew. He starts out on $10 a week. That first week he gets $10 and spends $15; so that before he gets his pay the second week it belongs to somebody else, and he starts to borrow in the third week, and he keeps on borrowing and borrowing until the end of the year somebody takes him to court and sues him for an unpaid debt, or he loses his job because those whom he owes are probably seeking him out at his place 10 or 15 jobs and change 10 or 15 homes. He is kept moving from place to place to evade his creditors, and then when it becomes too much for him he has to leave town and start life all over again. His life becomes one of misery and change, and 10, 15 or 20 years hence you will find that Negro in a worse condition than when he started at his $10 a week simultaneously with the Jew. At the end of that period of time you find the Jew in a better position than when he started. Not only is that true of the Jew, but of the Italian and the Greek. It is the same thing. Every one of them lives within their means except the Negro, who makes it a pride to live beyond his NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS AND OF THE NEGRO I am personally appealing subscribers of The Negro World lar in their payments for the is our policy to have the paper for the good of the race, yet it be for us to continue to meet the l duction without subscribers and prompt payments.

It is my duty, as I said before, to educate the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association into the right way of living individually as well as collectively, and I am making this appeal to you men and women because of the serious study that we have given to this problem. It is impossible for us to ever hope to accomplish anything better and bigger than what we have at the present time unless we change our methods; our methods are wrong. If we continue to live as we are now—above our means—we are always going to be in mental torture. We have made the great mistake of all the races in our economic prosecution of life. Take all history and you will find that there has never been a race that has started on the way to life as our race. Fifty years ago we were emancipated in this country. Eighty years ago we were emancipated in the West Indies and immediately thereafter we found the Negro jumping ahead as such a rapid speed that he has left the world wondering. Everybody asked the question, how is it possible for the Negro to live that way and make such improvement in 50 years? We have not made any improvement; we are only living a farcal life because we have no foundation; we have no background. An Odious Comparison Take the average Negro and classify him with the average white man or any other man and you will find that the average man of any other race is in a better position a hundred times than the average Negro. The other people can do it soberly and intelligently and judiciously. They live because they are able to support life with a profit. The Negro lives because he wants to show that he is living. The best way for a man to live is not to show that you are living, but to make the world feel that you are living. The Negro puts part on his back and the rest in his belly. The Negro starts off eating three big meals a day that cost 60 cents each while he is getting $2 a day. He wants a big room, paying $19 a week; he wants a $40 suit. How in the name of God can you do that on $2 a day? The other fellow who happens to fall in the same position, before he starts to eat and wear, he calculates carefully and apportions cent for cent and dime for dime and dollar for dollar. He finds from judicious and careful calculation that it is not possible for him to eat three meals a day at 60 cents each and therefore he will train his belly to eat twice a day and not thrice a day. The Negro will not discipline his stomach; he will eat any time he feels like eating, even though he cannot pay for the meal. No man has any right to eat three times a day when he can't pay for more than two meals; and you have no right eating three meals if you can't pay for two; eat one; you are not going to die. No man ever did eating one meal a day. The trouble is that the Negro has absolutely no discipline of mind, of stomach or of body; he takes everything by chance and the result is he never gets anywhere. Life is an important proposition and you have to reduce it to facts and figures. If you are getting $10 a week you have to live on $5 and save $2; if you are getting $20 a week you have to live on $15 and save $5; if you are getting $50 a week you have to live on $20 and save $20, if you mean to get anywhere at all in life. There is no crime in a man living within his means. You never commit a crime against yourself, you crime against your neighbor; you never commit a crime against the community if you continue to live within your means, but if you continue to live beyond your means you commit, a crime against yourself and it is only a ques- RHEUMATISM If you are RICK with RIEHMATATION, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

The people who generally outraged society are the people who live always above their means, and if the policeman had the eye of God nearly 90 per cent. of us who are in Liberty I have brought these illustrations to Hall tonight would be in jail. shows you the danger of over-living yourselves. Think of the misery you bring on yourselves because you have not carefully calculated the cost of your living. Why should you be miserable? Why should you not be able to walk down Lenox avenue on the east side or the west side of the street and book every man in the face? Why should you, in going to the subway, have to turn into 135th street to reach the subway at 135th street because a grocer happens to be in the middle of the block between 134th and 135th streets? Simply because you have lived above your means. Why is it you cannot walk down from 145th street to 125th street with your head erect? Because you don't know who you are going to meet. Why should life be so unpleasant? Simply because we do not carefully calculate. It is that careful calculation that we want to care for Liberty Hall and of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make of your lives and if you make that careful calculation like the Jew, like the Greek, like the Italian, you are bound to get through. The Jew came out of worse conditions than you and me. When you think of the Jew in Russia—when you think of the horrible condition of the Jew in Poland, and in Southwest Europe, human hearts would bleed over the cruelties inflicted and perpetrated upon the Jew. We talk about lynching and burning in the South—the crimes committed upon us in this country are nothing to be compared to the crimes committed upon the Jews in Europe, and out of those horrible conditions came the Jew to New York, penniless but not brotherless, and when he hands he is taken up by his brother and he is started up the ladder of life as every one has to start. They do not start him with an automobile and a big apartment house; they start him at $1 a week, or $$ a week, and he works his way up until Brother Abe becomes the owner of a whole block in Harlem or in the Bronx or somewhere else. Until Brother Abe and Uncle Joe are able to hang up their sign, "Moneys to Loan," and Negroes go in, not Jews; Negroes go in not by the dozens, but by the hundreds, where the three baskets hang out—"two against one you don't come out." (Laughter). Consider it, Negroes. We have lost more in pawnshops, in furniture taken away from us, because we over-calculated ourselves. Between the pawnbrokers shop and the furniture man and the real estate agent, the Negro throws away every nickel of his surplus cash, and the other race, through his careful and minute cal- Send me the wonderful Joyseon Medicine; also the tree book.

Une Ecole ou sera ensoligné exclusivement l'Espagnol sera fondée prochainement a Port au Prince par les soins du prochain gouvernemente du Nicaragua C'est la première fois à Port au Prince qu'on a vu une manifestation se préparer dans le silence et avoir un eclat aussi grandiose, une envergure aussi imposante, et se passer dans un ordre aussi parfait. C'est la preuve la plus visible que l'ame des foules vibre avant que celle de l'élite à la pensée de la libération du territoire, et que le peu a le respect de l'ordre dans l'accomplissement de ses libertés politiques. Ainsi que nous l'avions amonné samedi, le Bel Air était pavoise de drapeaux haitiens, et à la side d'une souscription de cinquante centines par t te, tout le quartier du Calvaire avait préparé une formidable veillee aux pieds de la Croix pour prior Dieu de deliverer Haiti. Toute la soirée de samedi toute la miit, des pelerins venus de tous les coins de la ville et des dafontons, allaient un agoniller devant le Calvaire durs une même, pensée. Les maisons du quartier étaient restées ouvertes pour donner un peu de cafe à tous ceux qui midaient la veille. Vers minuit, le nombre des pelerins qui venaient errier misericorde pour leur pays était tel, que les hauts grades Américains de la gendarmerie vinrent conseiller à la foule d'elle se coucher, mais cette foule dona-l'urance qu'elle garantissait Lordre, et que les autorités n'avient rien à craindre. Cest Dieu qu'on priait, et on désirait passer la miit et le prior dans le calme et dans le reseuillement. Il en fut fait ainsi. Dès quatre heures du matin tout le peuple a remplir les Eglises. Les messes se succéderent jusqu'à huit heures et demie, et toutes les Eglises et Chapelles virent déférer des milliers et des milliers de fidélies, tous vus dans une pensée patriotique. Apités la Grand Messe de la Cathedrale, les manifestants se sentiment devant cette Eglise, devant le local du *Contrieur Haitien*, et pour le Bel Air. Musique en tête, drapeaux déployés les trois groupes directent jonction à la Rue du Dr. Aubry. C'était alors des milliers et des milliers de manifestants qui dansam silence et un ordre extraordinaire, montaient vers la statue du Liberateur. Arrivés au coin de la gendarmerie, la police les fit continuer par la Rue Dantes Destonche pour éviter la place du Palais. C'est done par la Rue Lamarre que cette foule considérable gagua, la statue de Dessalines. Nous aurons beau écrireAMPLEUR de cette manifestation au Champ de Mars qu'on croira à Fexagération. Mais des photographies ont été prises, et les incredules pourront jouer. Les photos prononce que la matrice de l'insurgation de la statue de Dessalines en 1904, également le spectacle d'hier à la même place. Les manifestants ensuite continuent au Cinetière de Saint Anne. Devant les restes de Dessalines et de Pétion, une coupure prière fuit dure, et la foule regagna le Bel Air pour se disperser toujours dans Forder le plus parfait. Tas un quartier de la vide on ne se trouvait mais moi au moins par bloc qui ne fut décoffee aux couleurs nationales, et la rue de la gendarmerie fut ce qui a été la plus décoffee. A mihi précis, a l'angelus de chaque paroi, c'est deux minutes de silence furent religieusement observes. Dans les familles, c'est à genoux qu'on observa ce silence sacré. Beaucoup accomplirent ce devoir dans les epilises. La sirène qui fut achété par sonSCRIPT du peuple et qui depuis des années marque requeriment midi, ni pas vibre bier dans l'intention d'empêcher L'obervance de ces deux minutes dans les rues. Lacte est tellement petit et mesquin, sur tout qu'il vient à l'encourage de la plus toucheante des pensées, celle de la patrie, que nous n'misotis pas. L'opinion publique L'ayant déjà jugé ici, et celle des autres pays ne manquée de faire davantage. Il existe des choses sacres que les plus grands ennemis respectent. Le fait d'avoir voulu miure à L'observance de ces deux minutes, ni fait que du tort à ceux qui ont pris cette responsabilité car ils n'ont pas les rieurs de leur coté, même pas les rieurs Américains. Nous devons faire remarquer que cette manifestation qui a été si vaste, n'est que le résultat des efforts du groupe, car beaucoup d'autres organes et organisations avaient recommandé d'éviter quelque ce soit dans les rues et de pas ser la journée en prière. Or, si tous les groupes avaient joint leurs efforts pour donner un spectacle dans les rues en faveur de la libération du territoire, ce serait alors fantastique la manifestation qui aurait lieu. Devant des faits aussi patents, cette poignée d'honneur qui continue à faire croire que le peuple est satisfait de la situation, va-t-elle persister dans son attitude sans publice? Devant cette foule qui, piceusement, bravement, sincille devant le restes des Fondateurs de l'Indépendance, le Drapeau Haitien aux main, et ne rechannant qu'une chose : Thoumeur de la patrie, peut-on encore traiter de ridicule, de grotesque? Ce pays s'appelle Haiti et nous somme Haitiens: Avons du cœur! -Le Nacelliste. COIN LITTERAIRE BILENCE Non, je ne parlerai plus et tu ne sauras rien.

A le voir, aujourd'hui, nul ne s'imiginerait qu'il fut nuguerie la terreur de la terre d'Ashanti. A la suite de son renversement, ses lieutenants se chargèrent de mettre à l'abri des convoitises exotiques, le tabouret d'or symbole de souverainete royale. Des acajous geants Sur la cote occidentale de la vière San Lorenzo à Panama, on a découvert dans la forêt vierge de cette région, du bois d'acajou de grosse gigantesque. On a remarqué un specimen superbe mesurant 7 pieds de dianivetre, et 152 pieds de la base à la première branche. On a édébré à Stockholm, il y a quelques semaines, la 30e anniversaire de l'Union Postale Universale. Ceite manifestation illustre l'idée récente de la coopération internationale et la rapidité de la vulgarisation. Elle fut commémorée par le be congrès de l'Union qui vient de clore ses travaux, et le Gouvernement Suédio a émis une série spécielle de timbres dont le vente a atteint la somme renarquable de 500,000 kroner. Dans l'étendue de l'histoire, 50 ans ne représentent qu'une faible portion, et en tenant compte de nombreux siecles de guerre entre les nations, on constate que beaucoup de ce qui reste a faire dans la voie de l'entraîde internationale est moins renarquable que tout le progrès déjà réalisé. Avez les communications qui se développement constamment, et l'échange des idées qui s'en trouve d'autant facilité, que ne peut on espérer au cours des 50 ans qui arrivent ! Parmi les organisations internationales l'Union Postale est à vrai dire un vétéran. En même temps qu'elle tentait son congrès, avaient dans la capitale Sudoise la trente-troisième conférence de la "Société de droit international, dont l'ouvre capitale a été l'adoption des "Réglements appels" "York-Antwerp rules" relatifs aux pertes marigrins. A biene, l'Union Interparlementaire vient de tenir sa 22e session, bien qu'elle soit, en réalité, vicille de treinte deux ans. Les premières relations internationales des membres syndicates de travailleurs, viables un peu plus tôt que celle-là sous forme "l'expositions industrielles internationales" , furent tenues en Europe de le milieu du Pie siècle; mais parmi les associations internationales qui ont en une existence continue, l'Union Postale Universelle se range comme un des pionniers. Sa pretention s'être un des annecères de la Société des Nations qui est comparativement très jeune, sensible肥 fondée, encore que pour une institution 50 ans ne soit pas un bel âge. On doit le premier projet d'une organisation internationale des services postaux à un fonctionnaire dans nomme Joseph Michaelson. Il date de 1859, c'est-a-dire, la veille de la guerre de Sécession. Son but fut en partie d'accomplir le programmeriel dans la distribution des lettres et de faire avancer d'autre part la civilisation par le moyen de communications, plus régulières en contre les nations. "Ce fut dans le même esprit, motif sentimental," declare un curiavin dans le *Lemps* de Paris, que Fide de Michaelson fut reponse par le postmaster général des *Patrats-Unis*. Blair Mountgomery de Maryland, et est à biquer que est la témoin à Paris en 1853 de 15 représentant de différentes nations. L'Union universelle fut dissuée dans les conférences subsequentes, qui conduisirent au premier congres, tenu à Berne, où le 15 septembre 1874 fut finalement l'inaugure convention postale Maintenant, l'Union Postale est peut-être la plus universelle de toutes les organisations. Elle comprend une population totale de l'700,000,000 et couvre une superficie de 125,000,000 de kilomètres carrés. Le record du progrès dans la distribution de la maille postale durant ces cinquante années est vraiment impératif. De toutes les formes du service public, le service postal est celui qui a clef le plus généralement nationalisé. Dans la pratique, partont on Fadministration postale une institution publique, elle est administrée par des employés publiés.

Dans la vallee du Lau, les positions de Chéruda, Hfertan, Chantafa, Solano et Taza avaient et enlevées : les positions de Taguesut et Adgoz, situces en amont de Taza, venaient d'être évacuées après avoir fait sauter le matériel et les munitions que leurs, garnisons ne pouvaient emporter dans leur retraite qui fut, en effet, penible. Il ne restait donc que la colonne Serrano intallee entre Koba-Darsa et la mer. On venait de prélever sur cette colonne des bataillons qui avaient été embargues pour Ceuta; le reste pouvait resister, à l'abri de retranchements construits à la bate, en attendant de nouvelles instructions.

Toutes les positions des Beni-Hassan et Beni-Saïl avaient été perdues. Sur le territoire des Beni-Hoznar, qui a pour limite le rio Martin, qui baigné Tetouan, il ne restait plus que la petite position de Gorgue qui était assiegée. A Tounez de Tetouan, on ne pouvait faire plus de huit glomètres. Le marinau marquait Fendroit ou la communication avec Tanger était coupée.

Ve alli asociate con esa naturaleza siempre vestida de un verdor único, donde la grama tiene un color perpetuo, donde la foresta toda, sin destine alguno, vista el mismo traje durante las cuatro estacignes del año; donde los pajaros, capitancados por el concierto ruisector y el dorado canario, cantan continuamente, preladiando en cudechas muy tropicales las dulzuras y quejumbres de razas, que viven la naturaleza tal como es sin ningun discimulo en mistificación alguna en que la avarica humana tenga que intervenir para el comercialismo del aire, de la luz y de todo aquello que nos brinde el Divino Creador para el sosten de nuestra vida y completa felicidad. La supérieurité de l'homme On a longtemps délattu cette question ! L'homme doit il la superritité à sa croissance ou à sa main ! Helvétius désait que l'homme avail eu un sabot à l'exténtrition de ses bras, il n'aurait jamais fait un progrès. Ve y visita esas tierras, donde los rios y los arroyos te brindan una lina virgen traida desde las montañas, y sus cascadas y cataratas riman notas de arpejicos ultrahumanos, sin sufrir el proceso garapinoso de una helada causada por el invierno tarr temido en estas latitudes irrigidas. Contempla por ti mismo cuan feliz viven los nativos de esas tierras, siempre risueños, amables y simpaticos, cantando las bellezas de su bendito trópico y tendiendo una mano de bienvenida a todo el extranjero que toque a sus puertas, llenas de amor y hospitalidad. Millones de turistas blancos americanos van a los trópicoa disfrutar de sus delicias todos lo años; nuestra organización presenta por vez primera la oportunidad para que el negro disfrute de las mismas delicias.

La asociación está integrada por altos idealistas de nuestro porvenir y, jurgando sus principios y examinando sus aspiraciones, naldad es combatirla sino se la quiere apoyar. De nuevo hemos de hacer referencia al primer viaje de excursion que hacia las Antillas y Centro América, prepara nuestra nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra en su magnifico vapor Booker T. Washington, aconsejando a aquel elemento de la raza que pueda afrontar la oportunidad, que obtenga su pasaje para este viaje de recreo y educativo. La multiplicación humana inicia, como las aguas que rebasan el nivel del cauce que las contiene, la persecución de parajes donde continuar su acrecentamiento. La civilización introduce una series de necesidades en la vida colectiva que es imperioso satisfacer. Nuestra raza en el mundo civilizado entra en el apogeo de su esplendor y, como galardon a sus estuerzos por su progreso, sólo anhela acercarse a los de su misma rana, victimas aún de la ignorancia y de la barbarie, para cumplir su misión educativa. En esta estación, todo aquel que pueda resolverse económicamente, le es conveniente el salir de esta temperatura frigida y pasar algunos días recibiendo los calidos rayos del sol tropical, gozando de las delicias de un clima tan saludable y repleto de esencia natural, dada la floración que brindan paises como Bermuda, Florida, California y la hermosura del ropaje siempre verde con matices inimitables que nos presentan Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica y todos los paises de la America Central. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, pone a disposición de todo nuestro elemento en America esta esplendida oportunidad, para gozar de la vida del trópico a bordo de un-barco manejado y tripulado por individuos de su raza, siendo este el primero de la línea de la corporación naviera la Cruz Negra, con oficina principal en la ciudad de Nueva York. El cruce será por treinta y un días, tocando en su ruta las islas de Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica y los países de Panamá y Costa Rica. Prueba ineqivoca de la legalidad de sus gestiones, es los recursos que emplea para que ellas se desenvuelvan. Como, pues, creer que es torcida y malevola su intención, sino esta vedadía a nadie (porque no se labora en secreto) que se instruya de los fines que se persiguen? Nuestra asociación persigue un campo, donde nuestro bienestar se consolides sin las trabas del prejuicio; persigue la civilización completa del pueblo africano, para crear una nación donde la raza, al solidificar su contexta civica, se halle libre de las miserias de un medio donde se vea colibida por suspicion inadquenda. Corto es el espacio, para hacer un estudio de esto último, pero, pienses en nuestro estado actual, analice su complejidad y, sin apasionamiento, sólo en la inspiración de uno a nuestro progreso, se hallara su suficiente para apoyar muestre olla. Negro de América, se conduja vigor la longue, pensado que vistro viene aparecido al mismo tiempo que pata el mismo fuistre hecho a estas tierras, que quizás también descendientes de questa tama arrajan la miseraria de su ignorancia en tierra africana, donde olo nosotros podremos extingir la barrueña. ¿Ques el ideal de nuestra asociación? Suro cuidame de los hombres de nuestra raza que pertenan en la revindicación de miserios de ellos, por la fundación de una nacionalidad que, por medio del contacto constante en una laborio- concepción, laga surgar un pueblo modelo en constitución y cultura; bella idea es, que tropieza con todas las dificultades en una época con objeto de agolatarmo y de principios gloriosa idea es, porque sólo va inclinarse y pura en los condiciones concretes de los hombres negros, que no ven en ella vengasas torpes, sino resolución problema que de sayo dolostuosa, viene a perturbar frecuentemente la amonia entre la población de cesión, donde se hacen encantados los intéréses por ignorados prentidos, que no saden pesar el momento por vider abstracto sino por el momento de la piel. Hace con una confianza, pero es lo cuestio. Esta misma distancia la cuestio. Es la base de los bombas se crean con un conjunto de matriz de su piel dilatado en papel. Las razas seguiran divididas en infiernos y superiores el bombar, el más inteligente pero el menos bien de todos los seres cráodos, de penetración, argumentario para aguantar al bombar, el más sugrido de ultima sino por el color de papel. No se equivieren los actos alimitar nuestra condición en una computariva que la candidia no llega los ojos de nuestro entendimiento, y pese menos que solo nuestros esfuerzos han leghado bien salemos a costa de cuatro síbores, que gozemes de determinadas ventajas. Rememoremos en triste reminiscencia la odisea de nuestros antepasados. Si la etiqueta dobloca que contiene varios siglos y en la cual fue asunto legal la esclavitud, si las causas por la que el africano pudo tolerar la esclavitud, no nos dan una visión del porvenir de los dibiles e ignorantes, si no nos apida que aquellos que alla están, sucumban ante la inerza de la cultura que posee el egoismo y la ambition, digamos entonces que no mercenemos otro destinante el de los serviles.

A poor Jamaclan, an ex-soldier of the B. W. J. Jagment, and a long and faithful worker of the company here, having taken a few drinks, was a little lively. He was allowed by friends to go home, which he did. While in his house, without making a noise, disturbing any one, he was called out by one of the local policemen to go to the jail. He refused. He was caught by the police and they wrestled together. Other policemen, including the chief, crane on the scene. They beat him most shamefully with their machaesthes and the bout of their resolvers. The late, or chief, who would know better, took the most active part in beating and choking him. He was badly out-up, so that blood flowed from him like water from an open pipe or jet. He was then tied the long and taken to the station house, where he was again brutally woken. He was now in an awful state. The policeman was called but could not keep up with the sent for the doctor, who engulfed him to the hospital, where he was treated. West Indians were not allowed to visit him. on the 11th he was removed from the hospital, children still in bad condition to be pall in the next town.

Why Association Work Lags in Leeward Islands To the Editor of The Negro World: Kindly permit me space in the Negro World that I may unfold to you the circumstances why the people of St. Lucia are not taking an important part in the U. N. I. A. Many a time I have been questioned by many members of the U. N. I. A. concerning the association in St. Lucia, from whom I have hidden the fundamental fact. But now I have resolved to do so, to show those who are blaming the people of the Windward Islands, for not taking a part in the association, that the people are not to be blamed. St. Lucia in particular. 2. Whenever I peruse The Negro World and see how the Windward Islands who majority of inhabitants are Negroes, are not mentioned in this great Negro paper, my heart is filled with melancholy, for I do not see why those islands should not be taking a part in the association, St. Lucia, my native land, in particular. The fact why the people of St. Lucia are not taking a part in this great Negro association is that they have been deceived by a pretended member of the association who come to St. Lucia and organized the U. N. I. A. He succeeded splendidly, and the membership had increased to 300 persons; but, sorry to say, after he had obtained a substantial amount of money from the people, he secured that for his own use, which even cause the law to interfere. He posed as having been sent by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the people came forward to help the association, for they saw that it was for their good and welfare. Having been deceived by that Judas, the hope of the people was crushed, but the love for the association is still within them. Had it not been for that man the association would be doing wonderful work in St. Lucia. It is not the white man that hampered the association, but the Negro. When a trustworthy man shall recognize the U. N. L. A. in St. Lucia the people will come forward, as they had done before, and the time is not far when St. Lucia will stand at the front line of battle to fight for Africa's reedition. Thanking you for the liberty and space which you have granted me. CLIFFORD MCDOWZE. Central Vertientes, Camaquey, Cuba.

In Cuba's Camaguey To the Editor of The Negro World: On the work, train, farm and bound I was accompanied by a Haitian with blood pumping from his right arm. Upon inquiry it was found that a Cuban had shot him with a recoater of his workplace. At he took me, the Cuban was lifting some material of which he was in danger. He informed the Cuban to be careful, as the Haitian did not want to get damaged. The Cuban answered him saying he was only a Haitian and did not be damaged. He would be nothing, as the Haitian doesn't value anything. The poor Haitian then returned the same words and the Cuban began to indulge in abuse the Haitian's mother as their custom.

The British Flag Is Not One of Freedom To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow my space in your widespread paper to express a great surprise to see awful deeds of white people of Australia and their bad treatment to the natives because they are black. I cannot understand the enshrement of our black people under the British flag; and, yet, is a flag of freedom to all nations under the sun. But we should not be much surprised because this is only the aim of all white people from the early history of all black nations of the globe. 1. DIZO. British Guianian in England Looking Up To the Editor of The Negro World: Yesterday we Negroes looked down as animals do. It was a very bad position to be placed in. Why? Because it made you become stupid by looking down all the time. Today we all must be looking up to the U. N. L. A. where you will get the future written in the heaven. One who looks down is guilty of something he is ashamed of. Negroes the world ever must look up, so they can face the world face to face and "Man to Man." That word man is the English language.
