The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 23. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 PRICE: FIVE GENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN GENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE WEST TEN GENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEW SPIRIT AMONG NEGROES FOR THE NEW YEAR 1925 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Again we must be reminded of the fact that we have entered upon the labors of a new year, with the desires not only to build to our own individual interest, but to that also of the race. Charged With Inspiration Humanity everywhere is charged with new inspiration at this time to co-operatively go forward, advancing the cause of human love, fel- Appeal to Heart Similarly we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association make an appeal to the heart, soul, and may we not say the mind of every Negro in the world? Mixed up as we have been in our western civilization, we have in the past encouraged a hatred among ourselves and a rivalry that have been the cause of our economic as well as our racial ruin. In America we have divided ourselves into different groups of antagonism, in the West Indies we have done the same. When it is not a class war within our own ranks, it is a color war, when it is not a color war, it is a parochial, national or insular war, but everything has been done to keep us apart from being one in purpose, one in race, and one in hope. Change of Attitude GETTING TOGETHER TO HELP THEMSELVES THE UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN CHRISTENING AND SAILING OF SHIP ON SUNDAY MARCHING TO SUCCESS FOR 1925 LET ALL MEN BE BROTHERS, IS APPEAL OF LEADERS groups can do our part in making the burdens of civilization lighter, and making it more possible for an approaching human brotherhood. The purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for 1925 is not that against races or peoples, but for the general uplift of the Negro race, and for the broadening out of the human brotherhood. This program, no one can be opposed to, neither white, yellow nor black, because it is through such a program that the world will see salvation. Discontinue Antagonisms Internally we emphasize the appeal among members of our race to discontinue our open antagonisms and oppositions to each other. Let us remember that we shall rise no higher than our own desire to be together. Let us not be spiteful to each other. Let us not seek to do evil to each other. Let us not seek to revenge each other. Let us remember that come what may, we are all children of the same common father. And this appeal extends not only to the broad members of the race, but even the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, active and otherwise. No Enmity We desire to say to those who have separated themselves from us, that we have no enmity toward them. We cannot, because they are still No Enmity they will succeed and make of themselves worthy citizens, not only of our country of domicile, but of the world. A Better Race It is this spirit alone that will make a better race, and a united one, and for that we do appeal to each and every member of our race everywhere. We are also glad, and every Negro should rejoice to know that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, has been able to acquire a ship for the race which is to sail out of New York Harbor on Sunday the 18th. Let everybody rejoice and feel happy, let everybody cooperate to make it a success. This should be the spirit to actuate us during the year of 1925, and for this we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do pray... Become Financial We also beg members and Divisions of the Organization to rally now more than ever to make the Association a success. Officers of Divisions can help by sending in their financial reports regularly, and see that their Divisions are paid up for the year 1924, and with a clean sheet for 1925. Each member of the Association must know that this is the month to pay in the annual tax for the upkeep of the Organization. Secretaries everywhere should collect this tax from each and every member and forward to the Parent Body. No member of the Organization will be considered financial except this tax is paid during this month. With very best wishes for one and all, I have the honor to be 1925 AN EPOCHAL YEAR FOR NEGRO AND JEWISH PEOPLES JEWS, MINDFUL OF THEIR HOMELAND FORM STEAMSHIP LINE TO REALIZE DREAM OF GENERATIONS OF JEWS Oosan Liner Will Sail on March 12 Under Flag of Zion Carrying 550 Jews on Journey to Palestine—Sailings Every Sixty Days—Triumphant Return to Land of Their Fathers as Free Citizens. WHAT PRICE BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING CO. AND FORTHCOMING TRIP OF "GENERAL GOETHALS" TO AFRICA? Substitute "Africa" for "Palestine," "Ethiopia" for "Zion" and "Negroes" for "Jews" in the article reproduced below, and get a thrill. Then sit back and think how blatantly stupid must be the mouthlings of those who would poke fun at the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and the Back-to-Africa movement, reared and nurtured by Marcus Garvey and the Negro peoples of the world—Editor the Negro World. On March 12 the dream of generations of Jews will be realized, for on that day a great ocean liner proudly bearing the flag of Zion will leave New York for a journey to Palestine. The liner will be owned by Jews and the passengers will be Jews bound for a visit to the land of their ancestors. The President Arthur, magnificent ocean steamship, will make regular journeys to Palestine and in the days to come other great steamers will take their place beside her, for the American-Palestine Steamship Line has been organized to maintain and operate a regular ocean service between the United States and the Holy Land. It was Judge Jacob S. Sturhl of Brooklyn, president of the line, who first envisioned steamship hearing Zion's flag which would carry Jews from the New World to their ancient land. And a score of the leaders of the Jewish community lobbed with him and financed the line, generating generously of their time and money, that the ambition of centurion be realized and that the childminder who had been driven out of the land to all corners of the world might triumphphanly return as free chief to a land they are now doing so much to rebuild. Associated with Judge Sturhl in the American-Palestine Line are Jacob Wacht, transcriber, Maron Kreiger, Philip Wittenberg, Bernard Grauseman, Morris Polaky, Harry Welfelt, Max Blumberg, vice-president; Joseph B. Gottlieb, secretary, and H. Epstein, general manager. Offices of the line are at 1403-1505 Broadway. The first not of the new line was to purchase from the U. S. Shipboard Board the Inner President Arthur, the magnificent steamship which once was the Princess Alice and later the Princess Matolka. The maiden voyage of the inner under her new flag will be made March 12, and she will arrive at the Royal Land March 27. There will be a stopover at Nuples and the steamer will remain at Hifa for twenty days. The first voyage accommodations are limited to 540 passengers. There will be sailings every sixty days. Capt. William J. Green, an able navigator, has been engaged by the line. The S. S. President Arthur will be operated under conditions that will appeal to the most fastidious. The 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glances Awakened in One Day" is in the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be drained any longer since the dislocation it is possible for those who rest "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth" often in a day's time, with Mando Forrest, a former Army officer who has taken the treatment. This fanciful discovery is bringing "renewed youth," and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "No vigor was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake of Manaim City, Ma. "Today I am 16, and I am still feeling the same feeling taking the treatment I felt I had do old, wear-out man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'grand rejuvenation' and am convinced my 'grandeur' is still being root on the discovery of old, a tooth of humanity." stormer will have a completely cultured synagogue, and facilities for other religious services. Sturdy kosher food will be served under authoritative supervision. The furnishings will be tasteful, and even luxurious, and arranged with a view of providing superlative comfort. Many of the world's most noted Jews will be among the passengers on the S. S. President Arthur's initial trip. This fact alone gives promise of most unusual and inspirational companionship during the Journey. The passenger list for the March 12 trip already reads like a "Who's Who in Judaism." There will be those aboard who will lecture on subjects pertaining to the land at the journey's end; its traditions, the scenes where Biblical history was enacted. The Bible will be interpreted in terms most applicable to the purpose of the studious tourist. "TURN BACK TO GOD," CARDINAL HAYES PLEADS Sees Moral Code Sinking and Blames Laxity in Upbringing of Children —Urges Stricter Teaching of the Young Pleading the "urgent need of turning back to God" of "our material and carnal age," Cardinal Hayes, in a pastoral letter that will be read at all masses in the Archdiocese of New York today in celebration of the Feast of the Circumcision, urges dedication of 1925, the Holy Year of Jubilee, in the training of children in the ways of obedience, reverence, clean thinking and holy living. "Serious-minded men are greatly disturbed, and rightly so," the Cardinal's message reads, "with the modern trend away from God's law if the very essentials of social order and of the observance of the moral code in public and private life." The "New Freedom" "Today the claim of the new personal freedom—namely, to think and to do an one wills, unrestrained by standards of right and wrong, of law and order, bears a striking resemblance to Lucifer's, 'I will not serve,' and to Adam's, 'I will be my own God, knowing good and evil.' Public health, the prelate points out, has been safeguarded by medical science and the enforcement on the individual of drastic regulations that will not tolerate physical conditions that may be a message to the community. "Why less care with moral conditions, no less dangerous, to say the least, to the well being of society?" he asks. "However, to suggest precautionary measures for safeguarding the morals of our youth in reading, recreation and camaraderie, brands as repatriatory the parent, the teacher or the priest who may think such protection who and necessary." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 Vendors of Tuberculosis Nostrums Can't Use Mails To the editor of The Negro World: We learn with distinct approval of the issuance in this city, within a few days, of a bulletin by the National Vigilance Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, under the heading, "Mails Closed to Vendors of Tuberculosis Nostrum." After going into minute details, the bulletin concludes, with these significant words: "A careful investigation of the subject will disclose that, of the hundreds of tuberculosis 'cures' investigated by the Federal Government, through the Bureau of Chemistry and the Post Office Department; not one has made good for advertising claims." This is directly in line with the warning to the public, repeatedly issued by this association, thus: "There is no medicine that cures tuberculosis. All advertised 'cures' are cruel frauds. Do not waste your money or your time on them." The real preventatives and remedies that are of value in fighting this needless scourge are: Fresh air in abundance, wholesome and nourishing food, clothing suitable for the weather, personal and home cleanliness and plenty of sleep—guided, most certainly, by at least an annual medical examination by one's family physician. The Associated Advertising Club of the World has performed a noteworthy public service. We welcome its help. NEW YORK TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION. 211 Madison avenue, New York, Jan. 6, 1925. Dr. John Hope to Speak At New York Urban League The annual meeting of the New York Urban League will be held Sunday afternoon, January 25, at Salem Church, corner 12th street and Seventh Avenue. Speakers of national reputation will address the meeting. Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, and Hon. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, are among the speakers announced. The report of the executive board for the year ending December, 1924, will be rendered by the Executive Secretary, James H. Hubert. The business meeting of the league for election of officers and executive board members for 1925 will be held Wednesday evening, January 14, at the league's headquarters, 602 West 136th Street. Born a Slave, Dies Rich and Respected MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Jan. 1, Thomas E. Smith, an aged Negro, born a slave in Virginia, who escaped to the Union lines and joined the Federal forces in the Civil War, died here yesterday the owner of a four-story block on Main Street. His estate will total about $30,000. Mr. Smith opened a small antique and second-hand shop. He developed the business, became well to do and won the respect of the community. He was an active prohibition worker and had been nominated for office on the state ticket. He was also an active worker in the Salvation Army, and attended the jubilee celebration of that organization in England several years ago, serving as a delegate from this country. and brutish realism, with a boldness hitherto unknown, challenges from the very housetops any distinction made by the church or state, school or family, between what is clean or unclean, healthy or putrid; in literature, art, the drama and public exhibitions." not-been previously available, though they rapidly adapted, themselves to the new conditions, of the industrial and community life to which they migrated, have themselves felt the effect of insufficient training; the sections to which they came have been severely taxed, not only in dollars and cents, but in the extra strain upon their welfare, forces and educational institutions; and the sessions from which the migrants departed have felt the loss of man-power, which could have been more helpful and contented had it been adequately prepared to meet high standards of industry and education. Such a policy would, I believe, result in a strong, durable, intelligent and contented citizenship, one which would be unwavered by propaganda or inducement, and which would remain loyal to its hemland and its people, far beyond any destiny to desert themmor. Every person in our country has the absolute right to become a citizen of any nation whose laws change; but observers be may be. It is urged to be guaranteed that he shall have been equally trained in the official standards of American theology and admonition. Then, he may bring and admonish them, the same for his servants that are open to all and no admission of the public will be required to enter any governmental office. ARE AMERICANS GROWING COARSE AND CRIMINAL? "Pessimists Have No Solid Ground Beneath Their Feet; the Spiritual World Can Never Grow Bankrupt," Says Former Attorney-General Wickersham BY STANLEY POWERS In the New York World A year has gone. A year is begin- ning. What shall be said of them, in retrospect and forecast? This little world, ephemeral spinning mote in the angelest starlight, does move, as Galileo doggedly muttered. Change writes a record of its progress. But have the changes of the decedent twelfmonth been for better or for worse? In what direction is, contemporary, "mankind headed?" And what, at this New Year's season, shall be said of these United States of ours? Our motion has been dubbed the most lawless one on earth, and supreme in murder. Our selfishness and crass materialism are persistently deplored, while by our own idealists and by possibly less altruistic alien critics, if we strike a balance and draw up an annual statement of our infinite riches — our intangible wealth in hope faith and charity— were shall we stand as a people? These questions were referred this week to George Woodward Wickersham—not the former Attorney General of cold, impersonal legie and legalistic mind, but the second George Wickersham, whom scores of friends admire and love as a wise and kindly philosopher. And, lawyer-wise, philosopher-fashion, he answered with counter queries of his own. "Is it true?" he asks, stalking up the first count in the indictment, "that we are more lawless than other natives." Or do we hear more about our own lawlessness? Does our press, for instance, record and exploit it with greater ardor and more thoroughness? "Of course there is no denying that violent disregard of law and order in widely prevalent at present. But there are many explanations for the increase in high-handed crimes. We have among us, for one thing, many men who, during the war, learned the use of deadly weapons. Our habitual display of enormous wealth without particular precaution is a constant temptation to the needier or less scrupulous to help themselves. And the easy getaway afforded by the automobile facilitates the exploit." At the close of the Civil War, Mr. Wickersham pointed out, the whole West was one vast unexplored stretch of virgin territory. The holder and more regrettable souls among the ex-army element found room to work out their spirit and tendencies there—some as ploneers in various elementally constructive lines, some, more picturesquely, as "bad man." "The whole literature of the West of the seventies and eighties," he said, "is full of the stories of both sorts. The like adventurous souls of today have to find a different outlet. There was, for instance, the burglar who was caught in New Haven, who turned out to be the conductor on a morning traif de luxe which hauls bank presidents and similar magnates to their offices in this city. He admitted frankly he had found his daily vocation horseme and (Continued on page 5) obligations, -of preparedness, which should have been fulfilled elsewhere. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Hon. James J. Davis, Secretary of the United States Department of Labor, in discussing some of the effects of Negro migration with Karl P. Phillips, Commissioner of Conciliation in the Secretary's office, expressed the sincere hope that simple funds for education and training, without exception as to race or locality, may soon be available in every State in the Union, in order that contempt and adequate preparedness may fully pervade the citizenship of all Americans, thus encouraging everyone to contribute a full share to the advancement of America, the greatest and fairest nation in the whole world. The Secretary of Labor said: "We do not live in this country as a white race or as a black race, but, rather, as full-bodied Americans, all under the same flag and the same government. Hence all must be prepared to carry the burden of our country, that all may share fully in its joys and its program. The Nine Month migration of the past eight years has taught us the lesson of the double cost of educational support. These migrants, to whom it is more mature of training in the industry] and educational standards of America had One of the Thrifty Boys Of The Negro World To the Editor of The Negro World: Please give me space in your paper, I am a small school boy, only 19 years old.

HORN. Woodhine, N. J. NATION'S WEALTH LAVISHED FOR PUBLIC WELFARE Gifts for Education, Art and Charity the Past Ten Years Have Aggregated More Than One Billion and Half Dollars From the New York Sun John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s gift of $1,000,000 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art closes a year that has been rich in donations for public purposes. The larger benefactions alone run up to $130,000,000, and estimates that include minor gifts have put the grand total as high as $150,000,000. The greater part of this has gone to education and research. A considerable portfoil has been devoted to hospital service, including the establishment of "homes," and many millions have gone to museums and galleries. The dedication of $150,000,000 by private individuals to public service in a single year is an impression daring. Nevertheless it is not unprecedented. Astonishing and noteworthy as have been the benefactions of James B. Duke, the most prominent donor, of the year; of George Eastman, of Elizabeth Frash (who contributed $10,000,000 to chemical research), and of J. P. Morgan (whose manuscript library has been valued at $85,000,000), these have been matched in other ways. In fact, during the last ten years $1,629,000,000 has been counted as having come to the American public in major benefactions, and it is, thought that if all the minor gifts could be recorded it would be seen that not less than $2,500,000,000 had been given. The yearly average for the first monitored sum is almost $163,000,000, and the supposedly banner year of 1920 is credited with $20,000,000. To make up this sum went $63,000,000 for the Laurus Spelman Rockefeller memorial, $60,000,000 from the Henry Frick estate, $26,000,000 from the Rockefeller Medical Foundation and the General Education Board, and $18,000,000 from a then anonymous person, who turned out to be George Eastman. The gifts of 1923 have been estimated at $25,000,000. The greatest of these was Milton Hershay's $60,000,000 for an industrial school for orphans. Yet if the year's record brings nothing hitherto strange to American life it brings a growing consciousness of the comparative novelty, of such great donations. The time is well within memory when a million, dollar-bonefaction was memorable and a $25,000,000 gift ephemeral. The busy and creative stream of wealth flowing into reservoirs that will supply the young with education, the sick with beds and the public in general with beauty or the results of research is a new source of strength and life. Only when reported in this light is its real importance comprehended. If there are $2,000,000,000—and this is a modest estimate—represented in private endowments of public work in America, the equivalent of $150,000,000 is being spent annually, from what work once private fund, in the interest of the American public. And this sum is steadily growing. Any year's gifts go to what might be rewarded as a good permanent fund, the influence of which used our life in education, in support of education in alignment or cure of disease and in cultural influence in already clearly pervasive if it is at the same time unadmissible. $^4$ Do not spend your life building apart to furnish of windows for you cannot make them there. BRITISH TYRANNY OVER BLACK FOLK A CRYING SHAME Whole British Rule Characterized as Oppressive, Against Which Negroes Should Contend — Property Is Confiscated "DELIVER, THE MASTER HATH NEED!" January 4. To the Editor of The Negro World: Permit me space in your great newspaper to sound a note of warning to the "loyal subjects" of His Brittanic Majesty, the King of England": That British rule is the most infamous, oppressive and destructive of all the white nations of the earth is a fact that should be known by every awakened Negro man and woman. I was never so impressed with the unChristian, 'Southern' and cowardly actions of the British toward our people as when I was on the West Coast of Africa less than ten months ago. Unlike the natives of East Africa and even more than those in South Africa, the people on the West Coast represent a very highly intelligent group. This doubtless arcmnms for the iron heel rule of the British. How long will more than 200,000,000 black men and women remain subjugated under the iron heels of 45,000,000 arrogant and oppressive egists of Europe, is a matter that rests entirely upon our own shoulders. Britons, as every one knows, just a few centuries ago were laboring under the whip of a Roman slave master. It was not through the help nor sympathy of the Negro but through faith in themælves, unity, determination and perseverance that they were able to have successfully wriggled themselves out of the shackles of Roman slavery to freedom, until today they are looked upon as the leaders of Western civilization and the "strongest power to be reckoned with." So to top it, the pecks of the hundreds of millions of Negroes must be saved from the iron claws of their British overlords, we must not expect the help or sympathy of the British, who have just gotten out of the same cage in which we now find ourselves, and whose "strength and great power," as a matter of fact, lies on the backwardness, ignorance and too-Christianlike attitude of her black subjects. We should seek our God; faith in each other, unite, co-operate, agitate and with determination and perseverance, we too, shall in time be able to rend, asunder the cruel and merciless chains of British oppression and, once more establish ourselves free men and women with the rest of free humanity. In unity there is strength. United we stand, divided we fail. That millions of money are now being spent and have been spent during the past seven years in the narrow work of keeping us divided is a fact known by every Negro man and woman worth-living. The co-operation of a united Negro race in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, therefore, will doubtless, produce the kind of strength in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League with which the "collectors of Sudan" will no longer fool. I here enclose two letters which I received January 3 from seven of the many hundreds of young men on the Gold Coast of Africa in whom I had instilled so much hope with reference to the engineering work that was to have been started by the U. N. L. A. in Liberlin, W. A. The first letter conveys to me the information that the British, who for some time have been trying to make my friend, Mr. Coblain, surrender his gigantic cocon and coconut estate to them for little or nothing have at last forcibly compelled him to do so for a tip of £2,500. Mr. Coblain's gesture as I saw it consists of more than 5,000,000 coconut trees and about 10,000,000 coconut plants. It has about 300 native houses, besides his own big dwelling house, and business premises in Jallah Coffee Road, more than 1,000,000, chickens, turkeys, ducks and other birds, and runs for milies. The British have bought all of this for £3,500. Good Lord, deliver us! A few of us must suffer, but we must all know the truth, hence I beg that you publish same in The Negro World.

Negro Qualified as Supreme Court Stenographer For the first time in the history of New York State, a Negro has qualified for appointment as official stenographer in the Supreme Court. This honor fell to I. Newton Braithwaite, of 2376 Sovereign avenue, New York, who, from a field of 153 candidates that took an examination recently held by the New York State Civil Service Commission, was among the 45 successful ores to pass and be placed on the eligible list for appointment to the Supreme Court. The examination was the acid test of shorthand writing skill and affords those who passed the opportunity of attaining to the highest possible stenographic position that may be reached in the courts of New York State. The heat shorthand writers of the country were among those who entered. Mr. Brathwaite is the proprietor and principal of the Brathwaite Shorthand and Business School, which he has conducted at 3376 Seventh avenue for the past five years, and from whence he has turned out a large number of persons who are now earning their living as stenographers in both the government service and private concerns. One of the Largest Negro Greek Letter Fraternities WASHINGTON, D. C.-The thirteenth annual grand conclave of the Omega 1911 Phil Fraternity, one of the largest colored Greek letter fraternities in the world, consisting of fifty-five active chapters scattered throughout the United States and Canada, with a membership numbering more than two thousand; came to a close in Washington, December 31, with the selection of Tuskegee, Alabama, as the seat of the fourteenth annual conclave. The following officers, who comprise the Supreme Council of the Fraternity, were elected for the ensuing year: Grand Basileus, George L.

AMOUNT REQUIRED LIBERTY HALL JUBILANT OVER ACQUIREMENT OF STEAMSHIP BY BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY LAST PAYMENT ON ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IS MADE AND TITLE TAKEN—SHIP TO BE RECHRISTENED ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, PRIOR TO SAILING ON THE SAME DATE—ANOTHER NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE RACE Garvey Points Out the Difficulties of Leadership—Pleads for More Appreciation on the Part of the Masses for the Man Who Lead—Deplores Lack of Proper Leadership for Negro Race Mrs. Garvey and Lady Davis Deliver Timely Speeches—Mrs. Garvey's Appearance to Speak Is Met With Hearty Applause LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Jan. 11.—Liberty Hall was jubilant tonight as the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, conveyed to the vast audience the news that on the previous day, the Black Cross Navigation-& Trading Co. had made final payment on the $100,000 purchase price of the steamship recently acquired in behalf of the race, and as a result, the Black Cross Navigation & Trading Co. had taken title to and become the owners of the great ocean liner S. S. "General Goethals," which, on next Sunday, January 18, prior to sailing on its maiden trip as the first big transatlantic line of the Negro race, will be rechristened the S. S. "Booker T. Washington." This achievement, said Mr. Garvey, was one of the most notable ones for the race in the present century, and through it the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world will be rendered a signal service that will send their standing up in the estimation of the other peoples of the world, over 500 per cent., because once more will the news be flashed around the habitable globe that Negroes have launched another big ship. He announced that the event will be an epoch-making one and will be attended with great ceremony; the plans for which will be given out during this week. The meeting tonight opened with the usual preliminaries, after which speeches were delivered by Hon. G. E. Carter. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis; Mrs. Amy-Jacques Garvey and President-General Marcus Garvey. The appearance of Mrs. Garvey was the signal for much applause, the audience being fully appreciative of the loyal and unstinted aid which she has rendered her husband (the President-General) in the great task of leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and planning the future destiny of the race. Mrs. Garvey's remarks were timely and were received with undivided attention. Lady Davis as usual held the interest of the audience with her pithy statements regarding the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the recent acquirement of the ship by the Black Cross Navigation & Trading Co. Hon. Marcus Garvey, speaking on the subject of "The Struggle of the Poor and Unfortunate to Rise," dealt with the difficulties and viscissitudes of leadership and pleaded for more appreciation by the masses who are led, of the efforts that their leaders put forth in their behalf in order that they may be lifted to a higher plane and be able to combat the forces that would keep them where they desire them to be. He deplored the lack of proper leadership for the Negro race, due possibly to the lack of appreciation, and said that they will not get the right kind of leadership until they get the right kind of conscious intelligence and conscious appreciation of justice to their fellow man for service rendered in their behalf. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporarily. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bed-ridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS SPEAKS Lady Henrietta Davis spoke as follows: We are glad to see so large a number present tonight, notwithstanding the bitterness of the cold weather from which we naturally shrink. But there is something that attracts us, draws us, magnetizes us in Liberty Hall. That is why we come to this fountainhead of hope and inspiration to the race. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been the greatest inspiration to Negroes in modern times. It has given to a race that has almost become hopeless, hope for the future.

PROF. J. DU JAJA HE WYFEL AIRPORT, M. V., GIY, M. V. We are about one-third in the month. The first day of this month we made great resolutions for the new year, and I am wondering how many of us have held out for those few days with the great resolutions that we made for 1985. This month will tell us whether or not we are going to hold out for the eleven months that are to follow. I believe that we will hold out in many resolutions. Our race has been tested in the last six years as it has never been tested before, and we have shown that stamina; that preservation and loyalty will conquer notwithstanding all the hardships. Notwithstanding the many disconsequences that we have had, notwithstanding the many setbacks, we are going hopefully forward, we are preparing manfully onward towards the great goal of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the redemption of Africa.

A race that can do that after all the setbacks, after all the plans and plots of the enemy, there is hope for that race.

It differed from the church in that the church represented the spiritual side of life, but there was no desire on the part of the organization to advise its members to forgive the church. Both the church and the Universal Negro Improvement Association were necessary. In their respective spheres, but what was needed was unity of effort. Say "Bayer Aspirin" INSIST!

AFRICA, THE MOTHER OF NATIONS, IS NOT "THE WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY" It is a characteristic of the white man that he claims everything, wherever he is, whether he owns it or not, leaving the rightful owner to make good his ownership if he can. Very often he cannot because the odds are against him. It was that way with the Red Men of the Americas and the West Indies; it is that way with the Malays of the Pacific and with East India. These have been claimed and the claim confirmed by the might which the white man's morality makes right, and their peoples have been conquered and subordinated to their conquerors, and when this could not be done they have been exterminated, as the Red Men of the United States and Canada have been, and as the Malay races are fast being. The Red Men may be said to be an extinct race. In Latin America the Red Man has been very generally absorbed, amalgamated, with the Spanish conquerors; making very largely a mixed race, in which there is a vet at blend of African blood. The debates revolts of the English speaking people, who want to be styled as Natives in North America, including the United States and Canada, to keep their precious blood free from the admixture of the Red Man and the Black Man, may have succeeded if they had begun to practice what they now preach in the beginning; but they have gone too far, and the thing has been going on for too long; a time, of mixing their blood with that of the Red and the Black races to have any success whatever now in striving to unmix it or prevent further admixture. It has become the common thing for white Europeans to speak of Africa as "The White Man's Country." It is true that they have gone in and taken possession of the land and subjected the people to their rule, even when tribes are left free to exercise a qualified independence, but they have not as yet conquered the people nor reconciled them to the overlordship of the white man. Will they do it? Can they do it? They talk as if they have already done it; but talk is often loud and long to conceal a bogus claim. The Black people of Africa have just begun to be aroused to themselves; their sub-consciousness has just begun to assert itself; they are just beginning to wake up to what is being done to them by the white man. There may be a struggle of a century, of two centuries, for the ultimate mastery of the Continent of Africa, but whether the white or the Black Man will come out of the conflict as the master remains to be seen. A. H. Tatlow, of the South African State Railway, is in the United States and he is one of those white men who speak of Africa as "The White Man's Country." He invites Americans, only white Americans, as black ones are not desired, to visit his country. Among other things, he says: "Africa ever has been the enigma of continents," he declared, "although the first to appear in the history of mankind, it has been the last to be known and explored. Vast, strange and incredibly rich, it remains a lonely and distracting figure among the countries of the world, commanding the interest of many by virtue of its fascinating exoticism and brooding aloofness." Now, what is the white man fighting for in the Black Man's country? He is fighting for one of the richest of the continents. Mr. Tatlow indicates the wealth they are fighting for in the following summary of Africa's wealth: Despite the fact that 58 per cent. of the world's gold supply comes from this portion of the earth, and 95 per cent. of all the diamonds, agriculture is the chief industry of the country. Corn (or maize as it is called there), is grown in large quantities and much of it is exported to Europe. Wool, cotton, sugar, large amounts of fruits, ostrich feathers, mohair, hides and skins constitute the remainder of the constantly growing volume of exports. There is also an inexhaustible coal supply. Travel is cheap and comfortable in South Africa, where the railways are State-owned. Three cents a mile is an average rate, which includes Pullman accommodations. It has been said that an Englishman will chase a pound note around the globe and be satisfied in the end if he can collect 5 per cent. The American has developed a like selfish thriftiness. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was the first to organize the African peoples of the world to the fact that Africa belongs to the Africans and that they should fight for what is theirs. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1985 SWALLOWING A CAMEL STRAINING at a gnat and swallowing a camel" is as trivial of some of our twentieth century reformers and teachers as it was of the Pharisees when Jesus, the Christ, lived among men. No day passes but sees millions of words hurled at hundreds of gallons of ink spilt "in the cause of prohibition"—teaching and telling the people of the United States what ruin impedes for this fair land if men persist in violating the Eighteenth Amendment by drinking anything containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. The constitution, we are told, is being undermined; the disregard of the Eighteenth Amendment will breed disregard of all others; and in time "might is right" will secure universal acceptance in the nation. In October, 1923, a Committee of One Thousand for Law Observation and Enforcement was formed, principally to urge observance of the Vbistead act, and at an annual meeting staged in New York Tuesday night, January 6, the evils of drinking and the wiles of the evasive tippler were almost the exclusive topic. And on Wednesday morning a committee of nine headed by Judge Elbert H. Gary, the great industrialist, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., man of many millions, breakfasted with President Coolidge and hammered bootleggers and alleged lax prohibition officials. All of which reminds the plain citizen, particularly the Negro, of our Lord's words, "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hype crites . . . strain at a gnat and swallow a camel." The following splendid editorial on the subject is reprinted from the New York Daily News, the premier newspaper of America: "STRAINING at a guat and swallowing a camel" is as true of some of our twentieth century reformers and teachers in it one of the Pharisees when Jesus the Christ lived as it was of the Pharisees when Jesus, the Christ, lived among men.

In October, 1923, a Committee of One Thousand for Law Observance and Enforcement was formed, principally to urge observance of the Volstead act, and at an annual meeting staged in New York Tuesday night, January 6, the evils of drinking and the wiles of the evasive tippler were almost the exclusive topic. And on Wednesday morning a committee of nine headed by Judge Elbert H. Gary, the great industrialist, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., man of many millions, breakfasted with President Coolidge and hammered bootleggers and alleged lax prohibition officials. All of which reminds the plain citizen, particularly the Negro, of our Lord's words, "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites . . . strain at a gnat and swallow a camel." The following splendid editorial on the subject is reprinted from the New York Daily News, the premier picture newspaper of America: OUR PARTLY SACRED CONSTITUTION Judge E. H. Gary again causes our trenchant typewriter to become, in a manner of speaking, vocal. That's too bad. We had thought, after the elimination of the twelve-hour day in the steel industry, to let the judge alone. But his concern about the sacredness of our constitution and what he has had to say about respect for the law have made of him a too inviting target. Judge Gary spoke feelingly of the "blot on our escutcheon" caused by failure to enforce the law. His specific reference was to the Volstead law and the escutcheon whose smudging he deplored was the Eighteenth Amendment to the constitution. That reminds us—and we would remind the judge—of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, also parts of the constitution. In case you are not familiar with these two almost forgotten amendments, we'll tell you what they are—or were. The Fourteenth undertook to make and keep inviolate the rights of citizens, to deny to States any power of abridgment of the right of male citizens to vote, and to reduce representation from any State that did abridge such right. The Fifteenth was brief and pointed. "1. The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." "2. The congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appropriate legislation." Everybody, including Judge Gary, knows that these two amendments have as much life as King Tut in the South. There the colored man doesn't vote. The lightning in the white man's foot easily nullifies that right. That makes two more blots on our escutcheon, and they've been on it a long time. Judge Gary is pretty well along in years, but we never heard that he deplored these two old blots. As we get the judge, our constitution is only partly sacred, but the most sacred part is the Eighteenth Amendment. The men who make, or procure, and drink anything containing more than one-half of 1 per cent, alcohol are criminals; the men who sit on the corpses of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments are good citizens. That's logical, isn't it? Yes, just about as logical as Judge Gary's old claim that the men who worked fourteen hours a day in the steel mills got so they liked it and would strongly resent any attempt to reduce their working day to eight hours. If consistency is a jewel, and Judge Gary and similar defenders of the constitution possess it, then all the rest of us can easily get fitted out at the five and ten cent stores. The One Thousand Committee is big enough for one hundred sub-committees. Now let but one sub-committee get to work ament one flouting of the Fifteenth Amendment and the nation-at-large will begin to think of a site for the erection of a Civic Virtue statue in honor of "Some Worthy Defenders of the Constitution."

ENGLAND RETURNS TO THE OLD GODS NEWS article from London states that the new British cabinet is composed almost entirely of university men. Ten of the members are Oxford graduates and Premier Baldwin and three others are Cambridge graduates; thus England's two great universities have their full share. Winston Churchill is a graduate of Sandhurst, which is the English equivalent of our West Point. The other members are graduates of famous English "public" schools, which in England are the same thing as what we call great private schools. Harrow, Rugby, Etoir and Westminster are represented. Thus, after ten months of government by Laborites, England has returned to her old gods. Before Ramsay MacDonald became A NEWS article from London states that the new British cabinet is composed almost entirely of university men. Ten of the members are. Oxford graduates and Premier Baldwin and three others are Cambridge graduates; thus England's two great universities have their full share. Winston Churchill is a graduate of Sandhurst, which is the English equivalent of our West Point. The other members are graduates of famous English "public" schools, which in England are the same thing as what we call great private schools. Harrow, Rugby, Eton and Westminster are represented. Thus, after ten months of government by Laborites, England has returned to her old gods. Beiore Ramsay MacDonald became Premier an education at a great university was regarded as an indispensable requirement for high office in England. The British Empire was developed, extended and preserved by university graduates, men like the Cecils, Gladstone, Röschery, Burleigh, Balfour, Palmerston. To go back three centuries, Oliver Cromwell was an Oxford graduate. For two centuries the British statesman was supposed to know his Greek and Latin as well as his English. We of America, glorying in our backwoods geniuses, have never agreed with the English idea, but we have to admit that it worked well. Over a long stretch of years, English produced the greatest statesmen in the world, trained to their task from infancy. Radicals seem to think that a man can be taken from a plow and put at the head of great affairs; but the experiences of mankind is against them. It must be conceded, regretfully, that the statesmen who have made Great Britain what it is have had, with few exceptions, little sympathy with the great mass of the English people outside of the nobility. They have represented for the most part the Tory feeling that the nobility were the salt of the earth and that those who were not of the nobility must sweat and slave for them. DEPENDABILITY FIRST REQUISITE TO SUCCESS. A great many people, too many of them, imagine that they can succeed along the lines of least resistance. They go about seeking for easy jobs, or easy money, and they usually fail and often fall into the hands of the police, where they properly belong. The gamblers and grafters are made up of this sort. They are dishonest at heart and their sins always find them out, and when they least expect it. We do not need to waste any sympathy, on such sort. They are the victims of their own complex, and all of us have a complex more or less troublesome, which we must master or allow it to master us. The gamblers and grafters and fakirs seldom strive to master their complex; they gladly follow where it leads and are as happy as clams at high tide until their sins find them out; then they crumple all up in a heap, because at bottom they are mostly cowards: There is no royal road to success. Thousands, millions, of people have spent their entire lease of life striving to find the royal road to success. They do not appear to be able to accept the fact, after continuous failures, that they are chasing phantoms, which, like mirages of the desert, are always in sight but never in touch. When Ephraim gets joined to his idols it is no easy task to unjoin him. Often he reents any effort to help him do so. He finds his sort of satisfaction and pleasure in following where his idols lead him, and that is usually up a blind alley. Fads, hobbies, idols—all of us have some one of them for handicap and if we do not master them they will master us. There is nothing written in the silent pages of history and in the experience of individuals more evident than this fact. Landgrabbing and exploitation of the lands and labors of the darker peoples has become a craze with the white races. It is nothing but selfishness and greed. By those sins, men and nations have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, in all ages, with contempt for the women of the conquered peoples as the basis of the greed and selfishness, and in the fullness of time all such men and nations have gone the way of Babylon, Greece and Rome. You must respect the rights of others or pay the price. And what are the rights of others? Simply that your rights cease where the rights of others begin. There is no escape from that. All the commandments and the laws framed upon them teach no more and no less. But many read and few understand. After all, dependability is the first requisite to success. You may think that it is easy, but if is the hardest lesson the Negro people have to learn and ignorance of which is at the bottom of most of their civil and economic troubles. The person who renders good and faithful service seldom wants a job. A proper value is always placed upon him because he is dependable. If he be efficient as well as dependable and thrifty as well as industrious, it is always easy for him to have employment and a dollar to the good in any time of need. Every worker should place a proper valuation on the job he has, because it is his job, and because there is always, some one standing by ready to take it if he shows that he does not place the proper value upon it. The Selfish Struggle to Beat the Other Fellow From the Pacific Defender We hour from time to time discussions on what is profitable and we read articles and books and hear sermons and listen to lectures on service. Most people consider the two synonymous in the majority of instances, and it is that misunderstanding that has for a long time, and still continues, to create unrest and misunderstanding, and until there is a proper adjustment of the people's viewpoint and a clear understanding of the difference between these two expressions mankind will continue in its mad rush towards self-destruction. For it is the idea of profit that men possess in this day and time that is contributing so much toward his ending. In explanation I will say that profit means to get as much for one's self while giving an little as possible in return; service means giving in return for a property income amount reinstated. You can readily see that to make relationship in every way of life with your friend then might be covering the interest of selfish people by a kind of equality which would help both being enthusiastic and humble, and harmonious and humble.

Must we scorn his courage, decry his zeal? Honor for aye! Till White acknowledge the meanest Black, Till the Father welcome the prodigal back, And the Altar shine o'er Rope and Rack—God's Dreams shall stand alway! With swimming eyes and a reeling brain, Sturdily! The onslaught is countered again and again, Valour for aye!

HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis Asez' How to Treat the Baby With Rickets Editor Fortune's Message To Our Journalists From the Cleveland "Gazette" T. Theos. Fortune, for many years part-owner, and editor of the. New York Age" and now editor of the Nexro World. New York-City, as well as the associate editor of the New York "Tattler", is generally regarded as the dean of the race press. In his Xmas message to our journalists, Editor Fortune has the following: If a baby is not being fed in the normal way, and it is necessary to put him on artificial food, it is safe to give him fresh milk in the proper amounts and dilutions as the doctor will prescribe. The feeding must be done carefully, and the baby must be watched and weighed to be sure that he is making progress in the right direction. "Our press has reached a commanding position in the life of the race and the nation. It has had to traverse the valley of dry bones and death to do so, but its fidelity and loyalty to the race and the nation has been its salvation." In using pasteurized milk, sorts of fruit juice must be given too. Orange juice or prune juice is good, and the juice of canned tomatoes may be useful. These must be strained and at least two teapoonfuls must be given each day. It is well to start giving them diluted with water. At the age of six months there may be given beef juice, or the whites of coddled eggs and vegetable broths. As the winter is the time for most of the cases of rickets to develop, the Health Department has recently offered to supply a special preparation of the egg yolk to babies through two of the Baby Health Stations. If you have a child who shows any of the symptoms of which I spoke the other day, take him to the nearest Baby Health Station and ask about that material which will help your child to overcome the physical handicap which is his. Beside doing that see that the child's habits of eliminating the waste products through the bowels are correct. Take him out of doors for a greater part of each day. The children who are predisposed or who have this disease need much sunlight and fresh air. If you can provide the means of sleeping outdoors for the baby so much the better. "Valley of dry bones and death" is not putting it a bit too strong. About the only martyrs the race has produced in the last 80 years are the publishers of its newspapers. The "old timers" only, still in the business, can fully appreciate this statement and Editor Fortune's "valley of dry bones and death." Another paragraph from our conference's message is: "Our journalists helped to build the foundation of the race's moral, intellectual and material development, upon which growth is easy, and they have become one of the most dominant forces for good in the life of the race and the nation. That is a very great deal. It will mean more in the future." TRUTH! What a plly it is that more of our so-called intelligent and leading members of the race do not recognize this fact and at least show their appreciation by a much greater material assistance than they are giving. If it were not for the middle class of our people, those who do not pretend to possess so much intelligence and so much of the world's goods, we would not have more than 200, race publications. We, too, are "proud of the record our journalists have made in the past 45 years." The other treatment, such as giving cod liver oil and cod liver oil is particularly good in these cases—must be left to the judgment of the doctor, who is taking care of this baby. Do not neglect to put such a child into the hands of a competent doctor, for this disease is sufficiently serious both for itself and because of the dangers of the catching of other diseases, to warrant the utmost care on your part and the part of the nurse and doctor. The treatment through the administration of egg yolk in the special preparation of which I spoke above, is particularly useful in children between three months and nine months of age. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The problems facing the Negro today require intelligent thought and action. Men and women with vision will power and business sagacity must lead the way. This is the job for the college-bred man and woman. The fraternities and sorcieties should address the major portion of their time to these matters. — Pittsburgh American. power which enables us to, avoid temptations—Boston Chronicle. "Resolutions are in order for the New Year," but in making them it does not necessarily follow that they will be kept nor, in some instances, even remembered. Yet they serve as a guide for the more thoughtful and energetic. —Washington Tribune. "We have so many occasions to feel discouraged, it is quite pardonable in us if we grow superlatively enthusiastic over any happy exception that relieves the monotony. Almost every day we read of some mistake a member of our group has made—or reported to have made. Not that other groups do not make mistakes, but they are not emphasized as are ours.—Pittsburgh Courier. The present attitude of the government is as illogical as it would be to reverse the theory that fisheries and a merchant marine should be encouraged in order to provide seamen for the navy in time of war, and hold that the Navy exists for the encouragement of the fisheries and the merchant marine.—Star, Republic of Panama. Some women have more brains, more intellect than some men, but most men have more brains, more intellect than some other women. It is due to environment and conditions. The time may yet come when this inequality will disappear entirely from the earth.—Richmond Planet. A man, so to speak, who is not able to bow to his conscience every morning is hardly in a condition to respectfully salute the world at any other time of the day.—Savannah Banner. One may be an excellent pharmacist, embalmer, editor, cook, etc., but he cannot successfully run an enterprise unless he understands the underlying principles thereof. The only way to understand them is to read and study them.—Cleveland Call. This "do-nothing" logic is just what keeps this city world going along when it might be up and alert.

It is too late to wipe over the milk that is spilled, but we can profit by how and why the previous military helped.

Brutual Lynching of a Negro Boy Taken from Hospital Where He Was Chained to Cot, in Nashville, Graphically Told--Despite Big Reward No Arrests Are Made By WALTER F. WHITE In the New York World NASHVILLE,/Tenn., Jan. 11.-The taxicab turned into a narrow, winding street and drew up sharply before a ramshackle, unpainted wooden structure, capped by a tiny tower which seemed momentarily about to sink wearily to rest on the low-hung roof. This is the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church," remarked my driver. Somewhat dazed, with my subconscious mind on New York's avenue of that name, at the incongruity of the grand-eloquent name home by so humble a structure, I dismounted and entered. My eyes, acclimated to the inner darkness, I picked out the rough, unpainted news, the duggy walls, adorned with faded chromes of "Jesus at the Wedding Feast of Cana," "Moses Descending from Mount Sinai," the crude pulpit, the tiny organ. There was but one bright spot in the place—a snow white casket in front of the pulpit. Toward it I made my way. At my request a colored man in his early twenties, whom I learned from his story, was the undertaker, unsecreted and raised the cover on which lay a shiny, covered plate bisterned "Grin Best." Boy of Fifteen Within by a beardless youth of fifteen, his eloquent skin made a more lustrous, beautiful-black by the whitestatin, judged by the free above, he seemed "older" than "teen" but the marrow-shouldered, tipping-chested, immature form that flowed down into the covered portion of the casket marked him for his dad he had been. "His face is free of marks" I said to the young undertaker. "Yes, sir, but if you'll look close there just above the collar you can see the mark of the rope." I did look, and, sure enough, there was the swollen ridge like a huge welt. "I wish you'd come yesterday," went on the young undertaker. "I could have shown you his body. He has a bullet hole right through here—putting his finger on the second button of his vest—his right arm is all mangled where a load of buckshot went through and from his wrist down to his hips he's just like a sitter—yes, just like a sitter"— His abrupt pause said volumes more than any spoken word could in picture what condition the body before me was in. "Buckshot," he added, omniviously. Face at Peace I looked again at the peaceful boyish face. On it was no bitterness, no malice, no pain, no trace of the physical pal mind mental agony that preceded his end. "His left arm seems a bit out of place—was he shot there, too?" I asked. "No, sir—no, sir." the young undertaker quickly defended the faint suspicion he had not done his job well—the hung there so long before they cut him down hold begin to get stiff when we got the body. "I see—I see." I tried to cover as best I could the injury I had done him, took one last look at—Sammie Smith and edged toward the door as three of four old colored women came into the church and whispered softly as they bent over the casket. "And he was just a baby!" floated to me in a sibilant whisper, sorrowful) but devoid of bitterness, as I went outside and took deep drafts of the spicy air to shake off the oppressive, tragic feel of the place. I went from the church to the shop of my young undertaker friend. Softly questioning eyes surveyed me in mild suspicion, but with no hostility. An old colored woman, shabbily dressed, looked at me heathatically, a bit of yellow paper in her hand. She silked toward me and gently asked if I cared to help bury Sammy. * Eldest of Nine Children * "You see," she explained, "no matter how poor we are, we must help IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR. KAPLAN The Evening Specialist RELIABLE AND SEASONABLE EVER EXAMINED FREE FOR LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK Specialist Medicine Nursing STOMACH Dr. Kaplan, 120 West 12th Street, New York, NY 10017 (212) 255-7000 www.drkaplan.com Dr. Kaplan, 120 West 12th Street, New York, NY 10017 (212) 255-7000 www.drkaplan.com those in trouble". Sammie was the eldest of nine children of a widowed mother. The youngest was two. The mother took in washing, but wasn't very strong. It hardly seemed likely to me that any woman who had borne nine children in thirteen years would be very vigorous. Sammie was the only one of the nipe who was big enough to work, and now he was dead. If their friends didn't help Sammie would have to be "buried by the city". On Friday, June 12, Sammie and his uncle, Eugene Smith went to Nashville in the latter's office. Late that night they started back to Arrington. As they hurried along near Nolesville about one of chicks in the morning the car went into a ditch, turning over. The man and boy signed it and found one of the parts broken. Leaving Sammie in the air, Eugene went to a garage, nearly to get a new part for his car. When Eugene did not return Sammie went in search of him. He met Eugene coming toward the car and behind him walked a white man holding a gun on Eugene. The garage belonged to the owing of the child he bought Eugene in the act of stealing what he needed. "This boy with you!" the white man asked Eugene. "Yes she" was the answer. Yes, I was the answer. "Then come along with me, I'm going to put you in jail, too." The white man declared to Samme. Pulls a Revolver Samille whipped out a gun and fired. The white man, seriously wounded in the leg, required the tree shooting Samille through the stomach. Samille dropped his arm and red light the white man held his gun on Eugene until others, rushed by the chicks, came and took him to jail. All the rest of the night they sought Samille. Early the next morning they found him in a field nearby lying unconscious from the loss of blood and the rainy, scalded cold. Sheriff Bob Bailley carried him to the county jail, but soon removed him to the Nashville General Hospital on Name street. There it was seen at once that Samille's wound was a fatal one—but they took no chances with this desperate 16-year-old. 110-pound criminal—they chained him to the iron bed. Just after midnight Monday Larry Hardman, custodian of the hospital, was sitting in his office, according to his story. Hearing a noise, he turned and looked into the barrels of several shovines. Leaving him covered by two of the masked men, ten or twelve others, cut the telephone wires and hurried toward the Negro ward on the west end of the first floor. One of the masked figures, clad in khakis, was left to guard the hallway with soldiers to let him one pass. In the Negro ward there was a bone nurse, Miss Amy Wweagle, all the other attendants being, according to later statements issued, to the time eating their supern. The mob demolished of Miss Wearle that she point out the bed in which Sammie Smith lay. She refused. The mob began a systematic search of the ward, examining each bed to see in which one the occupant was chained. Miss Wearle stood in front of Sammie's bed, trying to hide the telltale chain. Helpless, his eyes wide in terror, his life so far gone already he could not possibly live until morning. Sammie Smith, Thirty-four desperate watched the half-score of his executioner's approach. A shout of exultation greeted the discovery of the chain. Miss Wearle was thrust, aside. The chain was rapidly sawed apart. "Get up!" demanded the leader. "I can't—I can't," tremblingly, pittenedly pleaded the terrified, half-dead boy. Forty-five minutes later the telephone rang in the office of the Nashville Teenager's. "It's all over, partner," the newspaper office was informed. The unknown voice went on to tell where, Sammie Smith's body was to be found. Nashville Shocked Nashville awoke the next morning horrified. The Chamber of Commerce held an indignation meeting, denounced the mob, and offered a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the lynchers. One member, W. D. Trabue, moved that the amount be made $15,000. "After some argument the amount was reduced to $10,000. Still later it dropped to $5,000." • • • Gov. Austin Pey offered on behalf of the State an additional $1,500 and denounced the lynching as a "horrible thing" and added, "Nothing has happened since I have been Governor so regretable." • • • Hilary E. Howe, Mayor of Nashville, declared that the brooding was like a horrible dream," and asserted that "the fair name of the city has been bromished." • • • Sheriff Bob Bralley daily stated through the press that arrests were apparently expected but on Friday following the lynching when I was in Nashville no arrests had been made. • • • Residents condemning the mob were painted by the garrison club of the First Lutheran Church, the Lion's Church, the family of Trowca College, the Briary and Kensington Club, the hands of all the educational instit- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1835 Plains (white and colored) in Nashville and others. and others. The Nisselle Banner editorially demanded the proptit arrest of the lynchers. The Nashville Tennessee declared that: "No more dastardly crime has ever been committed in this city. The invasion of the hospital was a cowardly act in itself. The premeditated murder of a helpless victim signified the community no less than it ablazed the murderers with a red stain that will not wash off. It was a revers on jungle methods, to the rule of the beasts which the God-feeling citizens of the commonwealth will not tolerate. Are we to accept this verdict of moral democracy that the mob has written to us, or are we to rise above our shame and humiliation and forget out the denizens of the jungle who grow among us and redeem ourselves in the eyes of the State and the Nation." The Klan Element I asked many reputable citizens of Nashville if they felt the Klan had any part in the lynching. No one knew positively—in fact, the Klan had hastily come out in the local press to disclaim any connection with the crime and "declared, instead that "this organization is grievous always at instances of mob violence." But always I found myself listening to the ominous and meaningful statement: "The Klan mighty strong out around Nolesville." It's strong in Nashville, tobe. The Klan has purchased a home at sixteenth and Laurel Streets, just five blocks from the exclusive Ward-Rement School for Girls, only ten blocks from Vanderbilt University and the same distance from the Poorly Teachers Training School. There they hold their meetings without fear of molestation, and the site felt as may be judged from its contiguity to the institutions named in an exclusive neighborhood. As one man said to me: "The Nashville Klan might have had anything to do with this lynching, but I'm pretty sure the moral Klans did." And his feeling was not an isolated one. And when I asked several other colored men why Sammy Smith had a resolver if he was such a good boy, never had been in trouble before and gave his wages to his widowed mother. In every instance I received the same two words as answer. These words were "The Klan." The Editor's Discretion In What He Publishes From The Tampa Bulletin On the average of at least once a week, the editorial mail contains an epistle from an individual with a hobby or a deviance. Part of the time these epistles emit wrath about something that has been printed in the newspapers; part of the time about something that hasn't been printed. But they have an unvarying conclusion, which is a threat to "stop the paper." Of course, every editor respects the opinions of his fellow men, whether they chance to be readers of his particular paper or not; if he didn't be couldn't expect his fellow men to respect his opinions; but the editor who undertook to vary the policy of his newspaper to suit every complaint or humor every hollow of several thousand readers would soon find himself in the poor house or the pooled cell division of the humatic asylum. For this reason an editor with a mind of his own and a certain amount of work to perform every day is obliged to keep a special corner of his waste but ready for the communications of heated individuals who feel the traps to step the gate. People have been "stopping papers" for a great many years, but for some inexplicable reason newspapers continue to be published. The answer probably is that where one individual with narrow conceptions and hidebound prejudices takes offense at some truthful article, saved hundred more are included to applaud it. Another reason, why editors are more or less contemptuous of the "Stop-the-paper," bulldozers is that the great bulk of American citizens respect a newspaper whiff is frank and courageous, even when they disagree with its policies, while they have only disgust for one which trims its sails to catch every passing breeze. This a free country, and nothing is freer than the privilege of taking a newspaper or leaving it alone. Editors would be the last of all persons to wish it otherwise. But the dear reader who imagines that "stopping the paper" also stops the presses is the victim of a childish illusion. He hurts himself far more than he hurts the offending editor or newspaper.

Whether It is Spherical and Finite or Infinite in Extent Still Unsolved At every point the speculations of the relativists run, into contradictions of terms, yet it seems not to disturb them. For example, a writer in your columns says: "The fact that the material universe is still functioning is proof strong; as holy Writ that space is spherical; that is to say it is finite and yet boundless." In other words, space is finite, yet infinite, bounded and yet not bounded. Are these things conceivable? If the universe of space is limited, what limits it? What bounds it? If a body is set in motion, according to one of Kepler's laws—which I trust has not yet been repealed—it will move forever, in a straight line, unless acted on by some opposing or modifying force. It is at least conceivable, then, that if a projectile were shot out toward the surface of this spherical space-universe, it would in time, if not opposed, arrive at such surface. Would it then pierce it? If not, what would stop? If not stopped, where would it go? If no material, substantial entity bounded this sphere, what could be beyond its assumed surface except void space? If space be not the absence of matter, merely, what is it? Can, any human mind conceive of a finite universe of space, containing within itself a finite material universe, yet so bounded that it can be thought of as a sphere, with nothing existent outside of it, not even void space? Kant held that there is a logical dilemma—that we cannot postulate either that the material universe is finite or that it is infinite without running into logical difficulties, and Herbert Spencer teaches the same, if I remember correctly from a reading of their works some 20 years ago. Did Einstein get his ideas of this finite, spherical universe from Kant? Kant did not run into any of Einstein's paradoxes of universe, however. Did Einstein get those from Fields grays on the mind? They may be found there, but only as mathematical conclusions from the purely imaginary celestie found there, but only mathematical projections. The projected parallel lines may meet up that sphere, but that does not mean that parallel lines really can ever meet in space. But I wish to refer briefly to the argument which preceded the above conclusion—that, if we assume "an unlimited space filled with either it seems an unbounded condition that the quantity of freedom is smaller an island universe must diminish by radiation until the matter of the universe would reach a state of absolute rest," I know what radiation of heat is, but I must yet learn what is meant by the radiation of motion, or that questions of quantity can be thus applied to mother. The heavenly bodies are, in fact, motion and, again referring to Keeler's laws, it is necessary rather to explain what can bring them to a stop than what can keep them going, if Keeler's laws express a truth, and if we assume that space is immaterial, hence frictionless, either is assumed to be unboundable. If, however, the radiation of heat from the heaviest bodies has a bearing on their ultimately coming to a rest, I say, "the them time." How does the relation know that they are not slowing up a bit? As a matter of fact, some of them are the earth, our example. It has recently been shown that the earth loses a second in 10,000 years, according to the astonomers. But this is, as Kurt surmised, one to the fractional effect of tides, caused by the moon's differential of attraction on opposite sides of the earth, the astrospheres tell us. They assume, and Kurt evidently assumed, still believing in Newton and Kepler, that, unless some such resistant force enters, the motions would go on undiminished. How could radiation affect it? And would not in eternity of radiation have the same result as a radiation through an infinitude of either? Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 13, 1924: A Friend Will Tell Us Our Faults; An Enemy Not From the Detroit Independent There are two ways, in which we learn our faults—from our friends, who tell us in kindness, to help us, and from our enemies, who bring them at the vindictively to hurt us. It is what might be considered the unimportant little things which make or mark our lives. We know people who have not much, gray matter, but who are moderately successful from being merely agreeable and courteous and devoid of obnoxious faults. Others, with twice their ability, ambition and industry, fall short of their goal, or make the gaining of it doubly hard for no other reason than that they are personally disagreeable. There is a man who is a gentius in his line; he has much power and wealth. Every door, upon which he has knocked, save one, has ultimately opened to him, and the one which remains ciped in his face leads into society. He stays outside, not because he is a self-made man, ad he believers, or because he is "in trade," but because he is paragonally objectionable. He has never had, nor ever will have, a friend courageous enough to lay his finger upon his fault and say: "Overcome it."

She has not the faintest idea why it is that she has little more than arrived before her employer begins to talk of "bending the force" curtailing expenses" etc., and he always begins with her. It is because she has no breeding and her real ability does not offset her bad manners. She calls her associates by their last names and rests herself tilted on the bind legs of her chair with her heels hooked in the rung. She has never been anything, but unfortunate and can not be anything unless there is someone who cares enough to tell her and convince that these things, which she unobviously considers trites, are responsible for her failures. We have eyes like hawks for the shortcomings of others, but we are astonishingly blind toward our own, and if there is someone sufficiently interested in us to point out the flaws in the eight spirit we should know him for our friend.

Those fans who were unable to see the ring genetically were be fought Johnny Wilson, a few weeks ago, were given a last chance after they had read the account of the tray the next day. That bad boys, for I know what you missed. This time Flowers meets Jack Delaney, the fellow who laughed out Paul Laichmann, which is a lot to his credit because Paul knocked out Larry Estridge a week or no ago and Estridge was the colored midnight champion, who was looked upon as a good man. There is no doubt about it, the night will attract a good deal of attention, because the winnery will be given a shot at Hiley Boxing. So early to get a shot as I predicted, crowded home.

(Continued from page 2.) had sought relaxation and change during the hours of darkness. Burglary was his form of sport, as golf or radio might be some others." If the West still beckoned, Mr. Wickersham thought, such a man would have gone there and unshackled his peculiar talents in a field less hedged about with restrictions. He would have become homesteader or stage robber, as the case might be. But the wide open spaces have lost their allurement. The great cities are now the strong mingens. "The raw material for stirring fiction which Bret Harte found in the mining camps," said Mr. Wickersham, his quiet eyes twining, "is now poured out in the establishments of despoiled pawn-brokers and incautious jewelers. reporters for the metropolitan press gather it up in superabundance. If O. Henry were still alive he would be instead of going off to Central America glorifying his stuff from the daily papers for it." "But all this, he was quick to add, seems to him a passing phase. Civilization cannot, permanently, permit such annoying interference with established routine." "We must admit," he commended, "there such sights as the progress of armor is through our main streets are a response to our social efficiency. We have been exceedingly easy going in intelligence toward robbery. But when the general patience snaps, a way will be found to solve the problem. We shan't be driven to the uncomfortable expedient of wearing iron clothes to protect our persons and property—as our ancestors did in the middle ages." He turned then to the theme of our national selfishness and materialism, as depicted by so many volunteer critics. On only a limited scope, if at all he said, "Would I be inclined to alter this change as valid against the average agreed to plant American. It is believed quite characteristic of us as a race to seek permanent success in any business or profession we unliterate. It is true that accumulation of money is commonly accepted by us as the measure of a man's success in business. And it is also true that competition between us is sharp and keen, because the percentage of highly trained and competent individuals among the competitions is so large. With the selfishness and materialism of our business, life are more apparent than real. They do not root in our bodies and souls. The moment an American gets ahead in business—when he has accumulated the wealth which is the symbol of success and If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once dive out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article added further the applicances of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an enduring remedy, recommended by those who have been benefited; to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Killmer's Swamp-Root. A preparation he has sold for many years and never haste to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent customer testify. No other kidney remedy has so largo a sale." According to a sworn statements and verified testimony, of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of the treatment with Swamp-Root is due to the fact, no many people claim, suffits almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

Chicago and demonstration of his capacities—he finds his greatest satisfaction in giving away his accumulations. "The daily press is filled with accounts of enormous gifts to various benvolent purposes, and every day there is far more of this giving which passes unheralded." "The fact is," continued Mr. Wickersham, "there are very few rich men in this country, who keep their wealth. They give all the time, habitually. Their mall is filled each morning with appeals from groups and individuals, and their cars are not deaf or their hearts hardened to these incessant pleas. To take one conspicuous instance—the huge sum raised by the Red Cross for the relief of the Japanese earthquake sufferers was the free gift of a multitude of contributors From private sources, in the same way. American dollars, by thousands, poured in to succeed the war sufferers in the Near East. "No true American is selfish in responding to any human appeal. We really kept alive a whole generation of Russian children and a whole generation of Armenians, just as in the days before we entered the war we saved the lives of a whole generation of Belgian children." Those he indicated, were hardly the acts of a depressingly selfish people. And he did not think America more materialistic than other nations. "The material things are the obvious things."

He will-start out in-some undertaking with so much zea “ped enthusiasm that one would be. inclined’to think that he could achieve his goal in less than given time, - Watch -his progress and ‘yeu will Observe that when he should be striving hardest his interest ‘wanes, he gives up.. “Ask him ‘his reason, ahd he will retort: non- “ghalantly. “I, ‘couldn’t~ be bothered -any’-longer,” or “Something _went wrong.” This indifferent attitude is exhibited in the actions of Negroés in alf walks of life. They lack stick-to-it-iveness, and do not realize that it is the plodder that rights.wrongs, surmounts dif- ficulties and eventually reaches his goal; Bae a Nothing in this world that is worgh while is easily btained, Whether it:is a good position, a bwsiness, a profession or .a life- companion, these prerequisites all require the elements of stamina, sperseverance and enduyance in one’s character to acquire them. Use this thought as an incentive when faced by difficulties and they wil! _sisappear before ‘your,intrepid onslaught. - * The youth whd’has to work and struggle hard to-acquire a pro- feasion usually appreciates it, and: puts it to better use than one whose parents paid his expenses.and furnished him with an office or the necessary appurtenances to practice such profession.“ The struggles to.attain one’s ambition brings out either the best or worst in.us. If we fail tofovercome our difficulties, we exhibit a weakness of character that could not-stand the test. of tndurance beéause the. elements of scli-confidence and’ courage’ were: undermined by fear and“doubt. Jf we overcome. otir difficulties we conquer Sur own _yweaknesses and thereby gain two.victories at”once—the attainthent pf our ambition and the conquest of our weaker self. ‘, ‘As in the lives of individual members of our race, so in the activi- ties of groups, Wwe find ‘the same progressive’ characteristic lacking: Most Negrocs regard every endeavor as a “nine days’ wonder” and suppoit it enthusiastically for just“that length of time; after that it ‘takes the grit and determination of a few to keep things humming. At is-for this reason that men ofyther races are surprised and cven alarmed ai. the large membership and, ‘progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No other organization of Negroes, controlled by: Negroes, could, have withstood the vicious attacks of governmental agents and treacherous Negroes. “The leadership of the U.N. I. A., having a thorough knowledge of the failings «it the race, launched an educative program whereby Negroes throughout the world are educated to live up.to-the highest and best in man. In so doing Jthey see no difficulties’ nor opjbsition that cannot be surmounted; fear has no' place in their hearts; a redeemed country” and an emancipated race is their objective and no earthly impediment will discourage them in-their journey toward their goal.

"Citron, thd “French automobile manifacturér, had planned. regular routy by ‘motor cars aeross the desert.

Because of our failure to raise the necessary amount of money we had to defer all arrangements until we raised the money and paid it and took title to the boat. Through extraordinary pressure, mental pressure and physical pressure and worry I was able with the assistance of a goodly number of loyal friends—a few in New York—and a few in other parts of the country—by my direct appeal to them, we were able to raise the balance of money, and at 12 o'clock on Saturday the Black Cross Navigation and steamship Co. carried out in its entirety the contract it entered into with the sailors of the boat and at 12 o'clock The Block Cross Navigation and Trading Co. became the owners of the S. S. General J. W. Goethals, which we will next send before she sells, officially re-chartered the "Booker T. Washington," as the first big transatlantic line" of the Negro race. (Applause.) Tremendous Responsibility . Tremendous Responsibility The securing of the money for this final payment was done, as I said, with no ordinary amount of physical and mental worry, knowing the attitude of an unreasonable crowd and multitude whose one desire is to blame when the crown and multitude of itself does nothing to help. With that facing those who were responsible for the existence of the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Company, and with the uncharitable scrutiny of an outside public and with the tremendous responsibility of having $22,000 of Negroes' money invested at stake to be saved by $10,000, and to have those same Negroes callously indifferent to the responsibility of urgently raising that $10,000 to give their own $22,000—having that much responsibility on one's mind was no ordinary pressure to bear during the whole printing. Our plant is up-to-date in every respect, and any order—simple or complex—will be carried out to your satisfaction. The business-getting value of our work can be judged by recent examples. Churches, Societies and Clubs think right when they place their orders with us. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JANUARY 12. 1968 week until we get into our hands that bill of sale that made that ship entirely the race's. I had to walk that office floor from flight to sight and from place to place all week, restlessly, yawn, at 11 o'clock on Saturday, when I was shown that I had that money in our hands to greatly pay for that boat so as to ascend the uncharitable and unjust criticism even of the many of you that I have spoken to and pleaded and begged to put a dollar in the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Company, so as to tighten the burden and responsibility for its to get this money to carry out this obligation to make the boat sail. A large number of people, who did not read the Negro World and did not hear the announcement first Wednesday night and didn't a dime in the Black Cross Company, came to see the boat sall today. I am very glad that you are disappointed. We have paid for the boat; we have the bill of sale; the boat is the property now of the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Company. I had to be careful, because outside of being President of the company I have my money in it, and therefore I am going to be sure with any Negro, who helped to recklessly keep my money in jeopardy. I have more to lose than anybody else, and my wife has all my money there, too; so that it is to my interest not only as President of the Company, not only as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but as one of the largest 'bounders' for cash in the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Company, to see that all its obligations are carried through and that the thing goes and meets with success. To Be Done Now So that we have our boat. And when I talk about having our boat, I mean those people who have actually put money in the Black Cross Navigation & Steamship Company. We have the boat, but it takes more than having the boat to have it sail. The boat to sell next Sunday means that we must have at least $10,000 of money prior to the sailing to pay for the provisions and coal and guarantee against accidents, and insurance. Every dime of it must be paid before 12 o'clock on Saturday, when the papers in the customs are passed for the boat to sail and to lie out in the stream until Sunday, when she will officially sail. That means, therefore, that before we can collect a dime for cargo which we are going to put on that boat, we have to meet all those obligations of coal, of provisions, of port wages for the crew and insurance. It means simply that the treasurer of the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Company, for the purpose of sailing that boat, must hold in his hands at least $10,000 this week. That is no fun. As Mr. Garvey said: "Sailing a boat is not like getting into a snuggle with a gallon of goncaline costing 18 cents. You have to store up 1,000 tons of coal in that boat by Friday, and the cost of the coal it $4 a ton; insurance must be placed on the boat for at least three months: food supplies for a thirty-day trip must be placed on the boat. All that must be considered and must be paid for, and those are the things that I have to face this week. And now we are asking for the cooperation of every supporter of the program—the economic and industrial and commercial program of the race for 1925. We want your airport by contributing what you can, by bearing what you can, so that the treasurer of the Black Cross Navigation & Steamship Company can have this available money. We are going to have a big program for Sunday. I will be unable to announce that program until Tuesday night. We are having big arrangements for Sunday, and those of you who are out of town and cannot be here on Tuesday night, I want you to read The Negro World this week to get information as to just what the program will be for Sunday. The Jawa' Example The Jews have their big ship, the President Arthur, which will be sailing, I believe, on the 12th of March for Palestine all crowded with Jewish passengers who will be going home to Jerusalem, some who are going to live there and other rihb Jews who are going to encourage them and to lead the Nigeria Remedy Co. This company concerns itself solely with the exploitation of the hidden sciences of Africa and now involves the creation of the World, first-class remedies whose effects are marvellous. These remedies have been carefully selected from the vast unwritten Materia. Medica of Africa and present in schools with modern scientific knowledge. All these remedies are registered in the Department of Health, City of New York. THE BOOK LIBERTY HALL IS JUBILANT OVER NEWS OF SHIP united ability of all black men and women, could be amassed, the redemption of Africa would be certain and we would again be masters of our past civilization. The trouble with the Negro, said Mrs. Garvey, is that our mental perspective is all wrong. We are living in a civilization that really is not ours; we are living under white civilization and instead of drawing from it all the good that is in it we draw from it most of the bad. We do not see ourselves from the right perspective; we see ourselves as inferior; we only see the good that is in white people, because we are seeing not through our eyes, but through their eyes; we see white instead of black, and that is one of the things that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to correct. Some people on the outside are alarmed at the growth of the organization. The reason for its growth lies in the samples of its program. In our Liberty Halls all over the country and through our newspaper (The Negro World) we are changing the whole perspective of the Negro and teaching him to think black. That is the reason we have gathered so many of our people together in such a short space of time. There was no such thing as disengagement in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Apart from the business program of the organization there was enough of encouragement all around us and we should go forward in the year 1925 seeing nothing before us but putting the Universal Negro Improvement Association over the top. In conclusion, she made a plea for the Black, Cross Navigation and Steamship Company. Although it was true, she said, that the organization had paid in full for the ship and it was proposition. The Palestine Steamship Line is a Jewish effort to supply the Jews with a steamship connection between American and Palestine. The boat will sail in March, a regular route will be established and more steamships will be added until they have built up a great Jewish merchant marine between the United States of America and Palestine. All the Jews do not agree with Aye Zionist movement and all the Jews do not agree with the back to Palestine movement, but those Jews that do not agree with the Zionist movement or the back to Palestine movement have nothing to do with it; they just leave it alone, they do not go and fight it; they do not go and countie to make it fall; they just don't believe in the thing and leave it alone and let those who believe in the thing carry it on, if they want to. And so, the Jews who believe in the back to Palestine movement have succeeded in really building up a Palestine and in establishing a steamship line between New York and Palestine and the other Jews have not done anything to interfere in that respect. Not So With Negroes Not So With Negroes Negroes are different. There are some Negroes who do not believe in the back to Africa movement, but they go out of their way to fight and kill the movement. That reference only reveals and shows how different Negroes are from other people. The news purchased their boat after ours and the President Arthur is now reader in Brooklyn and some of the biggest dawns in this country are going to sail on the President Arthur on the first trip of that boat to Palestine and we want the sailing of our boat on Sunday to make the same impression in New York. There is no doubt about it that if our boat sails on Sunday with your cooperation, the apprehension for this race of ours will go up another 100 per cent. We are going to render to the 15 million Negroes of America, to the millions of Negroes in the West Indies and the 500,000,000 Negroes of the world a signal service that will send their standing up in the estimation of the other peoples of the world over 500 per cent, because at 6 o'clock on Sunday if you and all of us get busy and do what we should do for this week—at 6 o'clock on Sunday the news will be flashed from New York once more around the habitable globe that the Negroes have launched another big ship. (Applause). You know what happened when we launched that little ship—that 1,200 ton ship, the S. S. Yarmouth—the whole world set up and looked and gasped about it, and up to now they are still gasping about it in so much that they call this movement the Black Star Line movement. The thing made such an impression on kings and emperors and presidents all over the world that up to now everybody knows that there was a thing called the Black Star Line. From next Sunday the whole world will know and hear about us. How I Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Near Sixty. "I am near 60 years, but I feel as young as I did at $0. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once, or twice a week. It keeps me healthy and strong and makes me feel young again," said J. H. Voh Schilok, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea. Just a few doses of this Bulgarian Tea blood tonic, and you begin to feel a change. You are going to be full of pop, vigor and energy. It just puts new life in you when you feel run down, tired or weak. new sure, still more money was needed to operate the ship. Operating a steamship the sail, was not like running an automobile, which required only a few gallons of gasoline. It took plenty of money, to operate a steamship supplying coal for its bunkers and food for the passengers and crew. He, therefore, appealed to the people to contribute liberally toward the steamship proposition in order that the ship may set sail at the appointed time. HON. MARGUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Margus Garvey spoke as follows. My audictor for tonight will be: "The Struggle of the Poor and Unfortunate to Be." The masses—the hungry, struggling masses of humanity, little rogue, no neglected they are in the world of civilized progress and human development. They very little realize how hard a task it is to serve them, how costly a price it is to serve them; probably not knowing how unfriendly they are in our friendless world, not realizing the tremendous odds against which they have to live, they pay little attention and little regard to the philanthropy, the sacrifice, the martyrdom that leadership among them or for them provokes. Leaders Are Marked Men Leaders Are Marked Men The intelligence of the world grinds, exploits and robs and murders the ignorance of the world, and the individual or individuals who attempt to tame the masses, to convey in diligence to the great human bulk, is the individual who establishes himself as a marked character in opposition to the will and the intelligence of the world, and whose destiny must naturally fall into the hands of that intelligence in the masses that are to be served are non-appreciative. And that is why in all human history leaders of the masses have had to die, leaders of the masses have had to suffer, leaders of the masses have been and to undergo martyrdom and sacrifice of the bloodiest kind. The intelligence of the world is not in sympathy with the ignorance of the world, because all the intelligence of the world presumes, becomes happy and lives on the ignorance of the world. The Difficulty in Getting Negro leaders I am talking in that way so that each and every one understands me. You all belong to a group, and I am of the group, too. You must have seen how hard and difficult it is to get leaders to champion our cause. And you know well, it is not because we have not got men. We have thousands in this country, we have thousands in the world, we have personally tens of thousands of deserved Negroes capable Negroes who have the ability of leadership. Yet at this hour the race remains without leadership. Have you ever asked yourself the question "Why? It is the answer that I am trying to give you tonight, the question of the higher degree of human progress has become so serious that it is afraid of liking its own existence in behalf of the unfortunate group that have been exploited by the powers of intelligence and human progress that be. It was because of that why Christianity had to wait for a Christian to come from heaven and not from among the people. Every intelligent man knew that the police was the constitution, and no intelligent man of the day was prepared to pay the price, and, therefore, the people told the coming of Christ, went without a spiritual leader. The price that the early fathers of Christianity had to pay was the price of martyrdom, the price of blood, because they were revolting against the system controlled by the intelligence they existed that rebounded to the advantage of the holy manages. And all ages it has been the same, and it is the same today. When I talk of intelligence I do not talk of the mere ability to read and write. I am talking about the intelligence of the source of life, the intelligence of control, control of our human social system. In the great world of Newport today there are but few—and I believe you can count them on the hand—who are willing to make the treagendous sacrifice for leadership that this race of our demons. Do you know why? Because they have not confidence in the masses of the people who must be led, and they are afraid of offending the power that exists at the expense of this multitude of people that they must naturally fight against for the leadership of those people with whom they cast their lot. Why do they lack confidence in the people? Because of experience. History teaches that the multitude with you today, and about "hosanna" Hosanna" and the multitude and the rubble in against you tomorrow origina "Crucify him! Crucify hip!" it is that human history that makes more alraid to make the overload. Appreciate Your Leaders Magic Fluid Takes Bad Curl Out --- tion? Can Marcos throw over anything favorable opened from the slaves once or any other time in the world? What should I accept but economically meet from members of our race? And yet, there are millions of Negroes in America and all over the world who judge the Universal Negro Improvement. Association from the opinion of sombody outside of the race. And yet our race calls for leadership. It means, therefore, that that leadership must go up against the tremendous opposition and tremendous force of the world that is lighting to keep the Negro in his present condition until he naturally passes away because he is not strong enough to exist. And I can do nothing more than to educate the masses of the Negroes all over the world that until you amass intelligence enough to know that you must appreciate your own ideals, your own objects, your own aspirations and the leadership that tends to bring those things to you, you will never be able to encourage leaders to serve you and to make the sacrifice that must be made if the people are to be led right. Leaders Discouraged Leaders become discouraged and dissatisfied from lack of appreciation by those whom they serve as added to the opposition they have to fight from without. What do I care what any man says or what any man does to Marcus Garvey? Any man of any other race in the world, whether he be English, French or German, can send Marcus Garvey to the electric chair, and hang him on the gallows or send him to prison for fifty years, saying Marcus Garvey was disturbing the peace, but when the Negro Marcus Garvey seeks to serve returns the compliment of his service by treachery and ingrudence, it is enough to question one's self whether it is wise or not to serve such people. I am talking this to you tonight for this reason; that no race can develop beyond its leadership, and if you can not appreciate the fact that a leader is made the target of abuse because of his efforts to lead. The whole wide world has abused Marcus Garvey because Marcus Garvey attempts to lead the four hundred million people whom the world, has been robbing for hundreds of thousands of years, and because of that Marcus Garvey becomes a marked man to the combined powers and influence of the world and when anything happens to Marcus Garvey if he is leading you in opposition to the will of the world the best Marcus Garvey can do is to expect appreciation from the people whom he attempts to make sacrifice for and to lead. That is why you have lost leadership; that is why you will never have the right kind of leadership until you get the right kind of conscious intelligence and conscious appreciation of justice to your fellow-pan for service rendered in your behalf. Cannot Rise Higher Than Your Leadership Necessity, if we are to rise above our common level we must rise with the intelligence that is natural and calculated to place us on a higher plane in life. And so tonight I warn, whether it is in the leadership of Marcus Garvey or the leadership of any other Nazro, you are not going to rise higher than that leadership, and if you yourselves do not encourage that leadership to represent one cause you will be utilitarian according to your own actions and be kept in the position the world wants you to be in. Leadership is the only medium through which a people can rise from a condition which is unsatisfactory to a condition they desire. And so on closing I warn you against encouraging the enemies of the race by talking against your organization through which you may see salvation. CARNEGIE HALL, Fri.

Marcus Garvey, Directeur-Editeur Résolutions a prendre pour la nouvelle année par tous les noirs du monde—Grand programme de coopération pour tous—Les noirs devraient s'unir en vlue du bien commun—L'Enterprise de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company réclame une action concertée Nous voici entrés de plein pied dans les expériences de la nouvelle année 1925. L'usage veut qu'à pareille époque nous presions des résolutions touchant notre conduite durant la pérode qui s'inaugure. Par consquent, il est desirable que nous formions, au début de cette nouvelle année, la résolution de faire; durant les mois qui vont se succéder, nonsulément ce qui tendra à augmenter notre bien-être matériel et personnel, mais aussi le bien-être de toute la race. La Universal Negro Improvement Association s'intèresse à toute l'universalité de la race. Nous sommes mis par ce sentiment que, comme groupement, il nous faut garantir et nous développer solidarité ou stagner et périr de même; no par un effet de notre choix personnel, mais par un effet des inexorables lois naturelles. Il n'est point de doute que le race qui ne deploiie aucun effort pour défendre ou soutenir ses intérêts propres, est condamnée à disparaître tot ou tard. C'est la constation d'une menace immanente de destructions racial qui porte la Universal Negro Improvement. Association à promulger des doctrines tendant à stimuler l'enthousiasme des membres de la race dans l'espoir de faire naître une formidable action concertée en vue de la self-preservation de notre individualité ethnique. C'est dans ce que nous en appelons aujourd'hui toutes les unités de la race pour les convier, à cette minute solennelle de denouyellenient de l'an, à prendre des résolutions conformes aux idéaux et aux fins rélevés de cette Association. Il nous faut, por l'année 1925, plus d'unité dance laction; une coopération plus chaleureuse et une plus grande manifestation de sympathie que nous n'en avons en eux dans les années qui se sont écoulées. L'organisation a eu beaucoup à souffrir d'un manque de cohésion interieure dans le passé. Car les embres de la race, loin de sencourager dans des efforts mutuels vers le progrès, se sont complus à se combattre. à se dénigrer, à s'entraver l'un l'autre. C'est à ces divisions interieures, à ces luttes intestines et à cet esprit de partis, que nous devons d'avoir à proliguer en xain tant d'argent et de temps dans l'effort de promouvoir nos plans de colonisation en 1924. N'attit-ce ces mesquines et steriles rivalités. L'assocation serait aujourd'hui en mesure d'annoucer la réalisation de merveilleux progrès dans son oeuvre de colonisation coloniale. Malheureusement, il a fallu que l'influence n'estfaite de cetrain groupements negrés,雯ure annuler le programme par nous entrepris. L'histoire enregistrera que Charles Dunbar King, l'actual président de la République de Liberia, et ses co-affidés des États-Unis d'Amerique sont les pires ennemis que nos frères d'Afrique aient jamais en eu le passe-comme dans l'avenir. Conseiennement, ou non, il a barré la voie au progrès de la race, pas seulement en Liberia ou au Afrique, mais dans le monde earlier. Quelque raison qu'il ait eu pour entrer l'exécution des plans de l'Association pour le développement de Liberin, lui sul le sait, car jusqu'à cette heure aucune raison valable ou juste n'a pu être déquite. Nous avons été très sensible au coup qu'il a si légèrement porté à la race, mais avec la foi et une confiance inebranable dans la saintêté et le désintéréssement de notre cause, nous croyons qu'il n'est pas bien éloigné, le moment ou Liberia pourra se sert à de l'avarice et de l'egoism personnels de ceux qui sacrificient, etement à leur gain et profits personnels. Cependant, le travail da la Universal Negro Improvement Association pour le développement de la race, n'a pas encore vraiment commenced. Comme nous l'avons annoncé récemment, l'effort en faveur du progrès industriel, commercial et économique du Noir ne sera pas accompagne de la propagande que nous avons suivi jusqu'à nous aurons recours aux principes et moyens qui seront les plus susceptibles de faire aboutir nos projets. Nous formons aussi le voeu qu'une entente plus cordiale régne entre les diverses sections de la race. Et nous demandons au ciel que l'année 1925 apporte des changements qui permettent à chacun de nous de vivre et d'évoluer plus librement dans l'atmosphere des affaires humaines qui transpirtent tous les jours autour de nques. Aussi nous demandons à tous les membres de la race de nous donner tous leur concours durant cette année afin de nous permettre de réaliser l'entreprise de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. Il n'y a pas que les membres de la Universal Negro Improvement Association qui doivent y contribuer: les noirs de toutes les parties du monde ont également inerêt à faciliter le succès de cette entreprise. Il nous faut la coopération générale, universelle des nutres pour mener notre programme à bonne fin. Y contribuer par tous les moyens possibles: tel devrait être la résolution prise par chacu en particulier a l'occasion de la nouvelle année. Tout en vous adressant mes remerciements anticipés pour votre biannuale coopération, j'ai l'honneur d'être, Votre obéissance serviteur.

French Section - A la séance plénière de la conférence économique franco-allemande qui est tenue la 12 December on est occupé des tarifs concernant les produits de Flindersite textiles. L'examen des questions agricoles qui devait avoir lieu ce jour-lait revêtu avec la Lundi suivant, de même que celui des articles relatifs aux produits chinois. Nous sommes à la veille de franchir une quovelle d'épée dans notre existence, comme individus et comme organisation. L'année 1914 àvuaitre et se développer bien des évenements; des évenements d'une importance telles qu'ils ont modifié le cours de bien des gouvernements, des nations, des races, de beaucoup d'individus et d'organisations. Un des évenements les plus considérables qui en ont marqué le cours est la signature du plan, de paix économique Daves, par lequel l'occasion va être donne à Fallemagne de renaitre à l'evidence normale d'une nation et dont le but est d'assurer nonseulement paix de l'Europe mais aussi celle du monde entier. D'importants conférences politiques ont eu lieu cette année à Geneva, à Paris, à Louderon ou les hommes d'Etats et les représentants de gouvernements s'étient reuniens dans le but d'étudier les voies et moyens par lesquels les grands problèmes humains peuvent être résolus. Les représentants qui assistaient à ces conferences étaient pour la part des personnes de race blanche qui peuplent l'Europe et l'Amerique et aussi des races jaunes de L'Asie. Par suite du retard héritaire du Noir il était peu ou puon représentait à ces conferences. N'aimmoins, de par les droits acquis à ces nations, il y fut représentate par les délégués d'Laiti, de Liberia et de l'Amérique royaume d'Ebibiope, comme sous le nom d'Abyssinie, qui a été admis cette année à la Ligue des Nations. Ce qui a fait en tout trois gouvernements negrés de représentés. Malheureusement, comme le disais tout à l'heure, la voix de cestro rémis ne peut-être que fajible au sein d'une assemblée ou la préponderance de puissance et d'autorité se trouve au côté des races adverses. Les déliques noirs n'ont pu assister aux importantes réunions ou les questions économiques ont été debattus ni à certaines conférences politiques, pour cette raison que les Noirs sont absolument en retard en qui concerne les affaires d'Eat et le contrôle politique du monde. Nous espérons que la nouvelle année 1925, verra le Noir mieux développé sous ces rapports, afin qui puisse s'ergue comme il convient dans les congrès des nations et dans la compagnie des races et des peuples. Cependant, nous sommes plus particulièrement intérêsses dans l'Entrée de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, c'est-à-dire dans le programme qu'elle a effectué durant l'année 1924. Beaucoup de changements se sont produits au sein de cette organisation. Nous avons en a déplorer la disparition de beaucoup d'hommes éminents qui s'écatent associés à nous pour travailler à la réalisation de nos buts. Parmi ces la nous devons citer en première ligne le Prince Robert Lincoln Pont, notre ancien Sérénateur-Général chef de la délivication que nous avions envoyé à Libéria et au Portugal. Il nous représente également dans cetrainies parties de l'Afrique ou nous avions des intérêts coloniaux en vue. Il mourut avant d'avoir accompli sa mission, donze heures avant l'entrée bateau en raide et nous émès à pleurer en lui la première parte de la cause de redemption africaine. Dans l'espace de quelques semaines, il fut suivi par Sir Isaiah Emanuel Morter, de Belize Honduras britannique. Sir Morter s'intéressait tellement à l'oeuvre de l'Association qui il légua un immobile évaluation à $100.000. Il se trouva, malheureusement, des ennis de noir oeuvre pour inspirer une contestation du testament et l'affaire est encore pendante devant le tribunal du Honduras. Puis ce fut le tour de Sir John Edward Bruce, le grand savant et le partisa nonseulement de la redemption de l'Afrique mais aussi des Drois de l'homme Après hit nous perdides Sir James Jenkins Dosen, Juge au Tribunal Suprême de Liberia. La fatalité a voulu que le propre jour ou nous eûmes a visiter notre bateau en rade de New York en preparation pour son depart pour Liberia, fuit le jour où Sir James Jenkins Dosen, ami devoué de l'organisation, rendait le dernier soupiur. Il y en a un autre que je ne dois pas oublier de mentionner. Celui-là fut un homme simple et modeste, appartenant à la classe des humbles. Il ne possédait a la volux ou la personnalité qui influence les foules mais il fut sincèrement dévoué aux doctrines et aux principes de l'organisation. Pas plus tard que la semaine dernière, il assistait a une réunion à Liberty Hall; il me paria personnellement pour re-affirmer son devouement et son enthousiasme. Le Lundi suivant il attrapa une pummol t l Samdi d'après il avait veuu. Parmi la chagmenta qui sont survenus dans l'organisation, il nous faut enregistrer la défection d'un cetrain nombre d'adherents à qui des postes de responsabilité avaient été confiés. C'est malheureux que des gens pensants puissent renier des principes es des idées tela que ceux préconsiders par cette association, maits telle est la vie; on ne peut échapper aux deceptions. Nous pouvons nous glorifier, cependant, de cet fait que le nombre des autres convertis qui forment la musse des membres de la Société est maintenu, s'est accerui au point de former, aujourdhui, un aggregat qui se chiffre dans les millions. Nous mettons nous glorie dans ceux qui nous sont restés fideles. Nous pouvons dire hautement, comme nous l'avons dit alleurs, qu'en 1924 la Universal Negro Improvement Association d'organisation qu'elle fut, est devenue une institution mondiale. Cette institution a attiré en 1924 plus d'attention que jamais aparavant. Elle a accompil plus qu'elle n'avait fait dans les précédentes années. Entraitures choses, a le puir tenir deux grands congres, l'un à Liberty Hall, New York: l'autre à Basutoland (Afrique N. W.). Et si cette Association ne devait pouvoir rien accomplir de plus loivre, ne perirait point pour cela: car elle a pu parfaire en Afrique une organisation qui est en mesure de réaliser le grand principe de la redemption de l'Afrique. Ceci a été l'achievement le plus coloré de cette organisation durant ses sept années d'existence. Nous avances maintenant vers la réalisation de notre programme de développement industriel, commercial et économique. Toit en vous remerciant de votre concours dans le passe, nous comptons sur vous pour l'avenir; et nous vous prions dans votre meditation solennelle de cette veillée de l'an de former la résolution de travailler en 1925 en encore plus d'élhousiasme si possible. LES CONTINENTS DE PARIS Les Noirs en Amérique L'opinion d'une Francaise Le dernier numéro de la tres intérées-sante revue *Europe* contient de précises. Notes sur *L'Amérique de Mme Andrée Jouve*. Nous sommes heureux de reproduire à l'intention des lecteurs ces quelques figures relatives à la situation faite aux noirs d'Amérique: On tolere les négres, puisqu'on ne peut plus les renvoyer comme les jaunes, et que le travail des usines, comme le travail des plantations ne peut se passer d'ours. Les philanthropes sont même disposés à leur faire du bien, pourvu, au! pourvu qu'ils ne pretenent pas des considérés comme des giants. Le prijget reste intraitable. Il s'endet à mener que les noirs montent vers le nord qui en ritait presque indonne. A Chicago il n'y avait pas le loi pour interieir aux négroides faces de tel quartier on de tel tecode.

Un ancien negre marron meurt riche et respecte Thomas Smith, un vieux négre mauit sur une habitation en Virginie. Esclave, il s'évade de la propriété et se rallie aux forces de l'Union pendant la guerre civile. Après la guerre il fonda un petit commerce d'objets antiques et de séconde main. Son industrie se devoppa, et il acquit le respect de la communauté de Middletown. Connexicit, oïl il s'était établi. H fut très actif dans la Prohibition et fut cité pour une charge publique. Il fut aussi un travailleur d'vouche de la Salvation Army et fut délégue à Londres, il y a quelques années, à l'occasion du Jubilé de cette organisation religieuse.

Spanish Section Prestemos nuestra cooperación a nuestras propias organizaciones, cumpliendo de ese modo con un deber sagrado —Unamos nuestros esfuerzos en este nuevo año para llevar avante el gran programa de la raza—Las mas importante de todas nuestras organizaciones El gran proposito determinado que se haya arraigado en lo más intimo del sentimiento de todos y cada uno de los directores de este movimiento racial, estriba en levantar el espíritu de los miembros de esta organización y de la raza en general, hacia el mas alto sentido de responsabilidad que hemos contraído todos en el presente. Durante el pasado año se llevo a cabo una disposición debidamente aprobada por un gran número de miembros y divisiones, de dejar el gran peso de responsabilidad ejecutiva, en lo que respecta al programa de nuestra entidad asocializ. al cuerpo principal directivo, sin darle a este la ayuda incidental para llevar a cabo las prácticas soluciones que demanda el programa de la institución. Por la negligencia de parte de un gran número de las divisiones y miembros de la organización, el cuerpo directivo ha encontrado muy difícil el resolver el problema de sus muchos gastos, tal como es el deseo y así lo demanda la honorabilidad de la organización. Algunas de las divisiones se han atrasado en sus informes seis y ocho meses, trayendo, esto, por consiguiente, un receso en la burea marche de muestra administración, no obstante la ayuda decida de los miembros locales, que han hecho y hacen esfuerzos titanicos para dejar sentados los altos principios de nuestro movimiento. Esta tardanza en enviar los reportes financiales al cuerpo directivo, ha creado un trastorno que retarda la ability de la administración, para llevar avante el trabajo organizador con el resultado de beneficio general para todos los miembros. Hengs encopezado el nuevo año bajo la misma impresión y con la misma actitud de años anteriores; no obstante consideramos que es muerto de deber levantar la conciencia de las divisiones, capitulos, ramales y miembros de todas partes que también cumplan el suyo, enviando a su debido tiempo sus informes financiales, de manera que el cuerpo directivo pueda atendar al soporte general, y una vez rehabilitado de esta manera, llevar adelante el trabajo para bios de la raza. Mientas el cuerpo directivo esta comprometido a ejecuar el programa impuesto por la organización, las divisiones locales, los ramales y calificitos están también comprometidos a ayudar en todo lo posible esta administración, en llevar a cabo sus planes con buen éxito. Se necesita financia en el año que transcurre para tan ardua labor; cada miembro, por consiguiente, de uno y otro sexo, esta en la obligación de aportar materialmente en tan noble empresa. Hoy más que nunca delos cooperar por el bien general de la raza, y ello no puede ser hecho aisdadamente o en pequeños grupos; pero como una gran organización, podemos unificadamente trabajar por el beneficio que a todos corresponde. No la lugar a duda que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra es la institución más prepotente en el mundo cuarto. Somos grandes numericamente hablando, pero es imprecible la coopración, esa ayuda financiera que nos ponga, en condiciones de hacer grandes cosas. Hemos de llamar personalmente la atención a los simpatizadores y defensores de la nueva corporación neglecta la Cruz Negra en todas partes, para que contribuyan a cimentar esta nueva empresa exclusivamente de la raza, de modo que podamos Fevar a la via de hecho trabajo que tenemos ante nosotros. Se recita financia, hemos de repetir, no en encarrier las actividades de esta corporación y ayudar la promoción de nuestro programa industrial y mercantile que no propone menos desarrollar en el corriente año. Debido a la falta de immedia cooperación de parte de aquellos que hayan podido hacerlo, nos hemos avisado a proposer por una canuna la salida de nuestro primer vapor, la cual lubio de llevarse a efecto el pasado domingo once de los corrientes, hasta el próximo domingo diez y ocho. La continúa tardanza en poner a nuestra disposición el suficiente monetario que demandan nuestras obligaciones financieras, para una u otra empresa, en nada ayuda a la responsabilidad ejecutiva que pesa sobre nuestros hombros, para llevar a la realización os planes do esta envuelva el exito que a todos nos conciere. Cooperemos todos: cumplíamos todos con nuestro deber, y entonces el programa nos hemos comprometido resolver será un hecho. Nuestra determinación para el nuevo año que transcurre, deberá ser mayor cooperación literal y material hacia la causa que todos se perseguimos y mas aún amanos. Le gouvernement egyptien a accédé à toutes les de mandes du gouvernement anglais relatives à l'assassinat du General Snack. Cette acceptation a suivi une conference qui a eu lieu hier et aura pour premier résultat l'évacuation par les troupes anglaises de la douane d'Alexandrie. Les ministres de l'instruction publique et des travaux publics ont démissionné et on s'attend à ce que le ministre des communications suive leur exemple ou ne mention ne pas la raison de ces démissions; On annonce ultérieurement que toutes les écoles fonctionnent-normalement. Mustapha Pacha et un certain nombre de magistrates ont envoyé une protestation au procureur contre l'arrestation-des dépôts et réclamant leur mise en liberté. Cette note exige du gouvernement égyptien premièrement de donner l'ordre d'évacuer le Soudan dans les 24 heures à tous les officiers et unes purément égyptiens de l'armée égyptienne. Les changements à intervenir de ce fait devrent être spécifiques ultérieurement. Deuxièmement d'informer le département compétent que le gouvernement au Soudan allait porter la surface à irriguer dans la noire de Geasra des trois cent mille à un chiffre illimité selon les besoins. Troisièmement de supprimer tous les empêchements des projets de sa Majesté concernant la protection des intérêts étrangers en Egypte. He leido, caro hermano, vuestro afectuoso articulo y no sabís cuan gratas han sido vuestras fraces, apesar de la visión cruel del pasado que con mano maestra me trazás. Vuestras-palabras han lacerado horribilmente ni corazón, haciendo exclamar lo mismo que vos: "Olvidemos, hermanos, olvidemos". Olvidemos, al, porque la antorcha del progreso se distingue ya entre las horrorosas tinielas que nos rodean; ella es el simbolo glorioso de la libertad y nos guía. Integrantes somos, yo lo acato, de una generación heredera de honores y derechos, pero responsables de viriles propositos. Recordando a los cayeron por redimitinos, debemos consugarnos a la grandiosa mision que queda abierta; aquellos muertos venerables que invocais, nos infundirian afectos crecientes por la causa loable para cuyo triunfo dio plena medida de su fervor. Ellos han de alentararios para prosegur el acerrino sendero, espaciendo resplandores en los terricos abismos de la perversidad y de la ignotancia, para alcanzar mas tarde la sonada altiva cumbre. Protonatíries del insano despotismo, aquellos que cayeron en el nativo suelo vendrán a prestárnos ayuda espiritual para la noble causa, afirmando asi en la suave planicie el alberge apacible, donde podamos, en unión de muestros sucesores, disfurar de legitimo sosiego. Invoco los augustos manes de muestros antepasados insignes, cuya vida salvaje ya radiante dejo luminosa estela, como norma perpetual del gesto eficiente que guira nuestra labor hacia el exito pauisible. Los requisitos del empeño planteado superan nuestra capacidad, mas tendemos a compensar esa deficiencia por la lealtad del designio y la tenacidad del esfuerzo. Verherem, bardo ilustre del heroico pueblo belga, escalta en los armionos yersos del futuro, las secundas vibraciones del esfuerzo: "La constancia (que todo lo medita, presa y sabe) excava el boquie espezo e inquieto, de los scres; ain cuando haya molesas y algún peso engañe. conquista el hom' es derechos y dobere." Veneros de cimiehes heuerosa, regada en fertiles surco, sagura exuberante floración, ograno fruto. Luchemos para formar -nuestra cuna que alentada por la grandeza del recupero, levantará en el maniana la regia arquitectura del familiar edificio. El recuerdo del pasado es triste; eibrinosismo con tupido velo y mirando hacia el futuro, luchemos para que en no lejano dia el hombre negro reholle y libre, trocado en gladiador bravisimo, se adelante a morir en el native suelo rodeado de silvestres flores y cubierto con la flamigera marcial bandera.
