WASHINGTON, FIRST SHIP OF BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY, SAILS Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Again the impossible has happened! Those Negroes who doubted their own ability and others who doubted the race, will again realize that by co-operation and stick-to-itiveness any group of people can accomplish anything that is humanly possible, and so the Negroes who have co-operated under the banner of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company have launched on the mighty deep a staunch ocean liner now known as the Booker T. Washington, a ship of 5,300 tons, equipped in every department for the marine service of the United States and the commercial service of the members of our race. Great Feat Accomplished The accomplishment of this feat was no ordinary task, because of the tremendous opposition that has been continually waged against the effort of real progress among us by our own. There is no doubt about it that the Negro is his own greatest enemy. The Booker T. Washington sailed from Pier 75, North River, New York, at 6:40 P. M., on Sunday, after having been inspected by over 4,000 members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and loan holders in the company, with a large number of spectators looking on. The sailing of the Booker T. Washington is another milestone passed in the achievement of the race, but it was not all easy sailing. Great thanks is due to the sympathy and assistance of the Port officials of the City of New York and the Custom Officers, as well as the Dock Master at Pier 75, for helping to make the sailing of the boat easy and possible. The only hitch that threatened to mar the pleasant occasion was that attempted by a Negro who attempted on Saturday, the 17th, no doubt acting in concert with the enemies of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, to libel the boat under some imaginary pretense. He endeavored to stage this feat by securing a libel warrant at just a few minutes before 12 on Saturday, thinking that he would have been able to hold up the sailing of the boat and thus make it impossible for the corporation to carry out its word in that the courts closed at the regular hour of 12 on Saturday. His idea, no doubt, was that the corporation would not have had time to have furnished the bond so as to make the boat sail on Sunday, thereby satisfying himself BIG CROWD ASSEMBLED TO SEE SHIP OFF NEGRO TRAITOR TRIED TO STOP SAILING WHITE OFFICIALS OF NEW YORK HELPED TO GET BOAT AWAY NEGRO HIS OWN ENEMY and his vicious group that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company was unable to carry out its promise to the public of sailing the boat on Sunday, the 18th instant. This is positive proof how viciously wicked the Negro is to himself. When everybody else was co-operating and helping, he, Judas like, traitor like, sought to stab his own in the back, but such are the things no doubt that races rising from the lowest rung of the human ladder must experience in their climb upward. On Her Way to West Indies The good ship, taking cargo and passengers in Philadelphia and coal in Norfolk, will be on her way to the West Indies and Central America, carrying to those parts many citizens of the United States who will come in closer contact with other members of the race in the West Indies. We feel sure that this closer contact will bring about a better understanding between the two sections of the race and that out of it will come a closer commercial and industrial union, upon which we can hope for a brighter and more prosperous future. It is worth while remarking that the old effort of the Black Star Line, which really made history for the race, paved the way to the Negro's recognition as a growing human possibility and was mainly supported financially by the Negroes of the West Indies and Central America, particularly by the Negroes of Cuba, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala and Bocas del Toro. The effort of these people made it possible to launch then the Frederick Douglas, the Antonio Maceo and the Shadyside, which comprised the ships owned by the Black Star Line, and now it is noteworthy that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, that has purchased the S. S. Booker T. Washington, --- has been mainly supported by the Negroes of America. In fact, 80% of the interest in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company is held by American Negroes, so that it can easily be seen that both sections of the race in the western world are ready to do their duty by themselves and for the promotion of greater business possibilities. Those Who Have Subscribed Only 3,500 Negroes have subscribed money for the purchase of the Booker T. Washington. If every ninety days 3,500 more will do the same, there is absolutely no reason why in another five years the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company cannot become one of the great steamship companies of the world. There is trade in the West Indies, Central America, Africa and the United States for the accommodation of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. It is our duty as a people to get behind it and see that it achieves the success merited. We must realize that, even though we have made a success in launching the first ship, our work is not even yet begun. We must now redouble our energies to finance the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company so that it can accumulate the necessary capital to run its ship. Do Your Part All those who have not yet subscribed for a loan should do so immediately. Each member of the race can loan $20, $25, $50, $100, $200, $300, $500 or $1,000 to the corporation for five or ten years, bearing an-interest of 5% annually. This money, if immediately subscribed, will help us to purchase our own cargo to carry to and fro, as well as to promote other branches of the business that must be done. Everybody Should Help Let everybody feel happy and glad of the accomplishment of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and let us all co-operate during the year of 1925 to make this venture a success.

N. I. A. —Bishop McGuire Conducts Dedicatory Services ON BOARD THE S. S. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, New York Harbor, Sunday Afternoon, January 18.—A new page in the history of the achievements of the Negro race was written today, when over 2,000 men, women and children witnessed with joy and pride the christening of the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., and bade her bon voyage and Godspeed as she started on her maiden ocean voyage flying the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, the symbol of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The occasion was the culmination of the efforts of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (under the indomitable leadership of Marcus Garvey), who, undaunted by the failure of their first steamship attempt in the Black Star Line, and the many obstacles that have been thrown in their way were determined to again place the race in the commercial firmament and reap the honor and benefits that accrue from participation in the maritime trade of the world. The S. S. Booker T. Washington—for such is the name under which the ship was re-christened—represents the perseverance and sacrifice of a small percentage of the loyal followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who co-operated in raising the $100,000 required to purchase the ship so that it may serve as a means whereby the program of the organization for the commercial linking up of the Negro peoples of the world may be fulfilled. The dedicatory ceremonies took place in the salon of the ship where were assembled many of the executive officers of the organization and the invited guests, among whom were Judge John P. O'Brien, Surrogate of New York County: Assemblyman Pope B. Billups, Alderman John W. Smith, Attorney J. B. Thorne, Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Rawlins: The officers of the organization present were: Hon. Marcus Garvey and Mrs. Garvey, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Hon. G. E. Carter, Hon. C. S. Bourne, and Hon. P. L. Burrows. At 3:30 o'clock the program commenced with a selection sung by Mme. Frazier Robinson, accompanied by the U. N. I. A. blad, following which Bishop George A. McGuire, primate of the African Orthodox Church, delivered the dedicatory prayers. The band then played one stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner," and one stanza of the African National Anthem. The christening of the ship was then performed by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, who escorted by Mr. Garvey, repaired to the deck of the ship, and breaking a bottle of wine against its side, named it the "Booker T. Washington." Bishop McGuire then delivered an address on the subject, "What Manner of Man is This," and the U. N. I. A. choir followed with the singing of the autumn, "Gloria in Excelsis." Addresses were then delivered by Judge O'Brien, Alderman Smith, 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six Years Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, deprived and sick, any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the " vital force of youth," often in a day's time, with Mando Forquil, is the amazing statement of one who takes the " vital force of youth" and is bringing "renewed youth" and " strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'lost vicar' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. E. Peake of Kannan City/Ma. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I was an old, worn-out man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my rejuvenation is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discovery of such a legacy to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by myself (the burglar) in the early 1980s, is based on the idea that it should be used to improve the health on people in need. Advises Americans to Christianize Themselves ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 15.—Bishop Francis J. McConnell, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, addressing the annual meeting of the Home Mission Council and the Council of Women for Home Missions here today, asserted that if America was to Christianize the world, she must first Christianize herself. The Rev. Charles L. White, of New York, executive secretary of the Baptist Home Missionary Society, was elected president of the Home Mission Council. o "America is as pagan as any other country in the world," the bishop said, "and the other countries are looking to us to set an example. Missionaries going into other countries are respected as individuals, but they are not considered an representative of the American nation. We must Christianize institutions and organizations. Too many people are 'incompletely' redeemed. Commenting on modern youth, he said that it did older people good to be rebuffed by their children. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 Assemblyman Billups, Attorney Thorne, Dr. Rawlins and Mr. Carvey, after which the choir sang another selection and the program was concluded by a bass solo sung by Prof. Packer Ramsey. The ceremonies were all over by 5:30, and the ship was cleared and set sail, her route being Philadelphia; Norfolk, Cuba, Hayti, Costa Rica, Panama, Colon and Jamaica. She is manned by a full complement of officers and crew under the direction of Captain J. De Rotter Hiorth, a Norwegian, as master. The crew consists entirely of Negroes and among the Negro-officers are Purser J. Balfour Williams, Third Officer Foulkes; Chief Wireless Operator Blackman, and Third Assistant Engineer Forte. She took out of New York a passenger list of fourteen persons, among whom were Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General of the U.N. I.A.; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis; Fourth Vice-President; Mrs. Hannah Nichols, Secretary of the New York Local; Hom. G. E. Ware, President of the Cincinnati Division, and Hon. F.

Almighty God, by whose word all things that we, or by which we are influenced, are hallowed, we assemble together in Thy Name and Presence for the purpose of invoking Thy blessing upon, and renaming this beautiful ship which by thine aid, the perseverance and courage of our indomitable leader, and the loyal and generous support of his followers, has been purchased and secured for the people of the Negro race in their struggle to work out their salvation in things temporal as in things spiritual, and to link together the scattered groups of the children of Africa. in their common hope in One God, One Alm and One Destiny, direct us, we pray Thee, in these dedicatory exercises, and grant that all, which at this hour shall be said and done, may be blessing in Thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

George Alexander McMurphy, Archbishop and Priest of the African Orthodox Church Mr. Christman, Laddie and Quentin: Having made the day quite on the occasion, having carefully being observed a High Court and Griefless, aware that the Court of Magnolia in Norwich had established a Memorial shrine upon me in June open on how Aphrodite, the goddess of love, is often depicted as a woman with a long, flowing hair and a crown of flowers.

It also absorbs in whistling that Normans should be urged strong breath and breath. Give your children a friend. and with a third sermon to be delivered at Solemn Vespers in a series on the Lord's Prayer, it behooves me to be brief and especially so in view of the array of oratorical talent to be presented, and particularly, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose message today will be heard around the world. For these reasons, I shall confine myself strictly to a written address of ten minutes on the words "What Manner of Man is This?" This was an interrogation and exclamation combined. The Man of Galilee had by the word of His power stilled the raging son. He had commanded the howling winds and the mightily billows. "Peace be Still!", and the tempest folding her wings, and the angry waves subsiding. "There was a great calm." Those twelve disciples of His, who in great fear had aroused their sleeping master, now in astonishment exclaim to each other, "What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? What manner of man!" These were the words of admiring friends and followers who gazed upon the mighty deeds of their leader in joyful surprise. Excited Jealousy But those very miracles of the Nagarene excited the envy and hatred of his jealous rivals and adversaries. When it was broadcast that he had MARCUS GARVEY, INDOMITABLE LEADER Shaping the Destiny of the World of Negroes merged the the to be the pre- Hon. today For myself ten inner after- ned. word asen. kinds raised Lazarus from the dead, and that he was entering Jerusalem from Bethany, the populace took an impromptu holiday and went out to welcome him, singing their Hosanna and waving their palm branches in his honor. This was too much for the Pharisees, the priests and rulers of the people, who saw their own leadership threatened. "Who is this?" they asked. "What manner of man is this? Behold the world is gone after him." And thenceforth they conspired against his life, and that of Lazarus also, because he was the living proof of the wonderful power of Jesus. What Mannor of Man is This Garvey? Without irreverence, I may say that as friend and foe asked it concerning the Galilean of 19 centuries ago, so are they inquiring today of the man whose name I have just mentioned. In jubilation, we who are his admirers, his followers and supporters, witnessing this latest achievement of his in the face of what appeared insurmountable difficulties, ask half in wander, half in praise, as we gaze upon him "What manner of man is Carvey?" Before his tread, impossibilities vanish as the snow before the warming sun. With a wave of his magic wand difficulties fades and there appears as if by a miracle a stupendous ship. The word "obstacle" has no meaning for him. unless it be part of a cross-word puzzle which spells "success." From my observation I am convinced that obstacles only serve to give wings to his aspirations and stimulus to his pursuits. For this modern Napoleon there are no Alps. Over the expansive glaciers, up the precipitous heights he leads, while his followers surprised at his courage and audacity, his energy and tenacity, follow on behind their leader exclaiming to each other, asking of each other, "What manner of man is this who plucks success can from the spear proof-crest of rugged danger?" What They Say But we are not singular, except in the motive which prompts our exclamation.

It was a peculiar atmosphere that pervaded the hall during the early stages of the meeting to the moment when, the musical program having been concluded, Hott. P. L. Burrows, Assistant Secretary-General of the Universal-Negro Improvement Association, called for three cheers for the Hon. Marcus Garvey in appreciation of his dauntless efforts in securing the ship "Booker T. Washington," and speeding her on her initial cruise under the auspices of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. One expected to see the assembled thousands seething with excitement, their pent-up feelings finding outlet in outbursts of cheering. But not so. And as for the great leader himself, no one observing the man would have Imagined that he was the Napoleon of an epocalyptic effort just successfully launched in the face of the bitterest opposition and in spite of seemingly overwhelming odds. Three cheers for Marcus Garvey! A mighty roar. And a grim and determined look again settled on the great gathering. It a remarkable scene. But gaining the floor, Mr. Garvey was soon holding his audience spellbound. There were cries of anger as he told of the despicable efforts of a Negro by a last-minute ruse to delay the sailing of the ship from New York harbor, according to schedule. And there was anger in the speaker's voice, too, as he recalled the "thievery" of those who, during his absence in the West Indies in 1921, had dissipated Black Star Line funds pretending to be purchasing a ship. At no one time, he said, had the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company $25,000 in its coffees yet in five and a half months a ship had been purchased for $100,000, with every penny of the purchase price paid. Mr. Garvey, with an eloquent gesture, returned the compliment to the great gathering that cheered him, telling them the cheers were all theirs. It was their co-operation that secured success and they I his heartfelt thanks and congratulations. Especially did he pay tribute to the splendid services rendered by Sir William Ware, President of the Cincinnati Division; Hon. Fred E. Johnson, President of the Detroit Division; Hon. J. Craigen, Executive Secretary of the Detroit Division, and Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, President of the Chicago Division, and other divisions that helped The other speakers of the evening were Hon., P. L. Burrows and Raja Mohder dra Pratap, an Indian patriot, now an exile from India, and citizen of Afghanistan. Raja Pratap, in a brief speech, emphasized that Africa and India had common cause and declared that the two races were working not so much for their respective home lands, but to give to a hardened, materialistic world the new message of human sympathy. The real object of any religious system, he said, should be the emancipation of mankind, and any religious system which did not have this in view was no religion at all. Following are the speeches: HON P. L. BURROWS SPEAKS Hon. Prescival Burrows spoke as follows: I feel that each one of us tonight should feel proud not that vaving pride that makes foods of us, but that sober pride which makes reasonable, rational beings of us. We have again marked another epoch in the history of the Negro race. When I say we I include all of us. But at this particular time I want to call your attention to a fact, and I have no fear in making this statement, that all our pride of tonight is due to our great leader. If we had reason to be ashamed we would place the blame upon him. But tonight I feel sure that each one of us shares and shares alike in the wonderful effort that we have succeeded in starting. The race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, but to them that endure to the end. Let us, therefore, as men and women, members of this great organization, members of this race of ours realize that tonight's program is an exceptional one.

When Marcus Garvey determines that.some- thing nfust be done:and blazes the way, the membership df the asso- ciation falls into line and sees to it'that it is done.

Some, who observe formality. to.the extreme, will wait for a car with feet almost frosted rather than tise up and-down on the toes, fearing some one would think them jazzy. Others whose sense of culture is not so fige,will dance’ a jig on an elevated plat- form or subway station and then get on the train’ with cold, feet. - It is a question if some folks really know when the sun does shine. ‘The funny papers. cast, slurs on the summer, git] basking on the béach, but now she can. tell them.a.few things. - Th¢ American Association for the, Advancement of Science re- cently met in New: York to show the value of the sun as a cure for diseases of men and animals.

His death was due*to the effect of X-ray exposures during experiments undertaken to discover a cure for cancer, Long ago his right arm-was so badly burned by X-ray that it had to be amputated. He kept on. . Afterwards he lost three fingers, of his left hand. -He kept on. Finally his whole body was atfected ; he-lived for many months in terrible pain; he knew that his death was'a matter of a few weeks. Yet he kept on and on, ‘fighting against cancer-as long as he could raise his head. Before such a man the world should bow its: head in reverence. It is such ‘heroes, such martyrs as these, that make our lives safe. We know, little or nothing of them. We are like‘the "passengers on la ship in mid-ocean, dancing, singing, flirting in the brilliant salon. ‘We chance to step out upon the deck and there are the, mariners of whose existence we had never thought, High on the mast between sky and water; straining his eyes through the dark night, is the lookout. Far back toward the stern, invisible to us, is the helms- man, his cye upon the compass. All through the ship are the work- ers .and watchers, going about their duties unseen, unheard, un- regarded. eg . It.is so with the Bergonies. Humanity carcens onward, heedless, singing. working, dancing, building altars to worthless gods, honor- ing golden calves, setting up its loud-mouthed trash as great men, going maudlin over its pugilists and cheap amusers. And all the while, in solitude, in the darkness, stand the Hergonies, warding off the demons that would destroy mankind and often giving up their own lives, dying? without a murmur, that we might live.’ “As the poet Lowell says: “Great captains with their guns and drums disturb our judgment for the hour.” But at last silence comes, and then we can truly measure the inartyrs. They work without thought of gain, of honor, of self. We laud the mother who forgets herself for her children: what of the men who give their lives for'us who do not even know them? The Saviour Him-' self ‘could do‘no more. All honor to Bergonie and to Pasteur, sons of France, who saved the world in war and would save it'in peace. “THE FAULT IS IN US AND NOT IN OUR STARS” HIS is a pretiy big old world, filled with many beautifut I things. We should think it so-if only because it isthe work _of our Creator, iow many times a week do we hear, “What ‘an awiul world!” Instead, it should be, “How can I straighten out this difficulty?? When everything goes smooth the world is beautiful,-as soon as there iy a hitch, the same, old ques- tion, “What, an awiitl world !”” ¢ There is a lot of-fun in this world if only you know how to’find it. ‘A period comes in every one’s life when conditions get so critical that after the crisis is over we can find semething to smile about. People who have risen to a better financiat-status make jokes of the times when abun anda cup of coffee would have to suffice, until the diet could be ‘increased io a'beef-stew, Such things go to make, a man: How often have we stood on°the brink of a final decision. There are some things we must decide for ourselves. “Some 'religiot's fanatic might say, “Let the Lord fight your battle.” ‘The- Lord ex pects us to fight-our own battles. When there is no other place to rest-a-burden, why want to place it on the Lord? “Lhe greatest batilefield is in the human brain, in: Which the conflict between tliat which is good and that which is-bad is never ending. ~" * It is in order to help our neighbor when he needs help, but he. should be worthy of it.

Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, declares in his annual report, made public yesterday, Eight hundred years ago, he said, there was a battle between reason and faith, fought "with the weapons of theology and philosophy."

Abelard the initiator "Abelard, who both started and best typified the intellectual movement out of which the true university eventually sprang, died in 1145," he continued. "His heretical teachings and his novelties of thought, bitterly resisted as they were by the orthodoxy of their age, became the accepted teachings of the generations that shortly followed." "Were Abelard to come back, his curiosity would certainly be excited and his sense of humor roused by much that he would see and hear in the intellectual life of the twentieth century. He might well wonder whether, despite his amazing intellectual conquests made so long ago, he had not lived and taught in vain. Now Minds Are Blocked "Having insisted, again and again that the use of reason precedes faith and leads up to it, with the aid of revelation and grace, he would be confronted with the spectacle of countless numbers of men and women, all hugely pleased with the brightness of their own intellectual illumination, whose minds are blocked to the progress of reason by the barriers of prejudice and of fanatical prepossession. "Abelard would quickly discover that to overcome these prejudices and these fanatical prepossessions is a tank far more severe than was that of routing the scholastic realists. Presently he would also discover that this very scholastic realism was back again and in control of the thought and action of men who do not know of its existence and to whom the language in which is was expounded in veritably a sealed book. Revive Ancient Fallacy. "Abelard would find men everywhere speaking of a common good, a common interest, a common advantage; as if this were something which had a real existence of its own quite apart from the good, the interest, the advantage of the individuals who make up a given community. "He would find a whole scheme of social and political philosophy and an elaborate program of social and political action based upon this ancient fallacy which he thought himself to have laid safely to rest 800 years ago." There are "the ironies of progress in the intellectual life," President Butler continued, and "they remind us once again of the stupendous which the life and achievements of men due to colossal and steadily increasing ignorance." Combat Seems Hopeless "There is no wasted in the material world which compares with this. The endeavor of education to keep pace with the rapidly growing ignorance appears to be quite hopeless, since there are year by year no many new things of which to be ignorant. Mankind is confronted by the alternative of choosing to be content with an ignorance which is universal or of endeavoring to acquire an ignorance which is selective." "The costly, ineffective and...even demoralizing character of much contemporary school and college work is observed and estimated in any public place. Natural Science ignored The extensive and intensive study of natural science, now carried on over more than a full generation, has made no impression whatever upon the public mind. That mind continues to come to its conclusions and to formulate its choices with serene unconcern as to whether any such thing as scientific method exists. Say "Bayer"- Insist!

"They live in a state of unstable intellectual equilibrium, without cognizance or appreciation of those ideas, those institutions and those ideals which silently and unconsciously shape and guide the action or the inaction of men. The free-mindedness and the rich-mindedness of Abelard are precious possessions and no true scholar is without them." His ideal of education was a sound one. Who will cultivate and civilise the teachers? Ridicules "Self-Expression" "The present-day mocking appeal to an infant that he gives expression to himself represents the addication of education. This appeal might just as well be directed to a physical vacuum. To stare youth by depriving it of intellectual and moral nourishment and to cripple and disable it by depriving it of the discipline of experience are among the newest and most popular forms of cruelty that have been devised to make education impossible. "The results are apparent on every hand. Much of the spoken English of both teachers and taught would assuredly affright even the Venerable Bede, who was accustomed to simple beginnings. "The ability to read has well high disappeared if the reading be sorris, instructive, or ennobling; the ability to write, so far as it exists at all, delights to manifest itself in forms of exceptional erudition and vulgarity; the ability to perform the simplest mathematical operations is, to all intents and purposes, confined to teachers of mathematics or to specialists in that subject.

"Views as to all sorts of things have displaced accurate knowledge of fundamental things. If these be thought: hard words, let him who so thinks look about him. Perhaps Abelard should come back and begin his task all over again." In his report President Butler denounces the government's plan of taxation as "false and narrow-minded"; since it takes accumulated wealth and spends it for current needs, and declares that as a result of this syst gifts to Columbia University are being reduced. Our methods of taxation, he said, diminish use of capital in new enterprises involving risk and imagination, destroy incentive for such undertakings and dry up "the source of supply for the maintenance and development of those notable and representative institutions that have been built up in the field of liberty rather than in the field of government." Boys Government Ownership Under such taxation, he added, "the whole face of our American civilization may be changed and our condition brought to that of Continental Europe, where practically all public undertakings are governmental, with all that that means." Gifts and bequests to the university in the last year totaled $2,375,691, of which $1,016,550 was gifts to capital. Total gifts to the university since 1890 have been $60,577,959. The total resources of the institution are now $96,40,968. Its budget appropriations last year were $8,815,761, and it finished the year with an income surplus of $180,456. This surplus is an indication of thrift and self-donald rather than opulence. President Butler said. He outlined at length the building needs of the university, discussing a program involving $15,355,000. Of this $3,625,000 represents buildings recently completed, $5,330,000 buildings authorized, and $6,400,000 buildings not yet provided for.

Howard Carter announced today he was leaving Thursday for Luxor to reopen Tutankhamen's tomb in about two weeks. Carter has given up all claim for a half share in the contents of the tomb and is expected to sign a temporary agreement with the Government tomorrow morning. He is to continue excavations on the Government's terms, which forbid giving, exclusive information to any one newspaper or group of newspapers. In return, the Government will consider favorably the gift to Carter of a number of treasures of which duplicates are found. The agreement must be ratified by representatives of the estate of Lord Carnavon, but that is expected immediately.

Sold at Leading Drug Stores) THOUSANDS WITNESS CHRISTENING AND SAILING OF S. S. BOOKER P. WASHINGTON FROM NEW YORK (Continued from page 2) who are endeavoring to diagnose what manner of man "this fellow Garvey" is. His early successes and triumphs aroused their envy and antimony. They objected to the Hosanna accorded him by the common people, and the palm branches waved in his honor, "Who is this Garvey?" Whence came he to threaten our leadership? "Behold millions of Negroes "everywhere are gone, wild over this man, and we must destroy his influence" and stem, the tide of his crushing movement." "The sequel we know." Up to the present their base and cruel schemes, to discredit him have proven abusive and Garvey has kept plunging away, a sword in one hand, and a tool in the other with the result that "The Booker T. Washington" has been purchased by him and the people under his leadership. "What manner of man is this?" they ask among themselves, "that he converts every knick given him into a boast?" But there is an allied question. "What Manner of People are These?" What is the secret of their devotion to Marcus (survey)? What occult influence does he exercise upon them that they respond to his call even in the face of setbacks and misfortunes? What manner of people are those who will sacrifice their last dollar for what others believed a lost cause? How is that when the shepherd is smitten and incarcerated, the sheep are not scattered? With every conceivable attempt made to weaken the moale of these "blind idiots," these "foods and tamarins," yet these "misused Garveyettes" cling to "their idol." What manner of people are these? The call of further engagements prevents me from revealing at this time the secret of this man's hold upon his followers and friends. The cause for which he lives, and for which, in the Providence of God, he will die will continue after him, and those who come after us will witness its final consummation. "The movement to which he has given the initial impulse will roll on through the marching years gathering size, and shape and velocity till our aim and destiny he fully realized. Not prosecution nor persecution of the man will ever annihilate the movement or eradicate the cause for which he lives and for which he dares to die if need be. My parting word is to the doubling Thomases. It could not be done! Garvey could never put another ship upon the ocean! You would have to see it before you would believe. Come out of Missouri and let us show you over this magnificent "Booker T. Washington" named for that immortal Negro whose memory will ever live in the annals of his race. Come and see if this is a real or a phantom ship. Feel it, walk upon its spacious decks, seek the evidence of its new, ownerships, and then when your investigation has been completed, return to your homes, and whether friend or foe, your thoughts will revert to this wonderful achievement of Garvey, and in acknowledgment of you will exclaim, "What manner of man is this?" Judge O'Brien Introduced Hon. Marceus Garvey in introducing Judge J. P. O'Brien as the next speaker, said: I am going to introduce to you a personage who is well known to you. He has been a friend not only of the race, but of the organization for quite a long time. I refer to Surrogate John P. O'Brien. He is a resident of our neighborhood for many years, who has befriended this association of ours and has, during that period of time, given us every help and assistance possible to carry on our work as peaceful and law-abiding citizens and as a people who desire to promote the best interests of our race. He has kindly consented to be he: this afternoon to witness the sailing of the Booker T. Washington that has been christened, and to say a few woe to us. I feel sure that every member of our organization is anxious to hear what the good Judge has to say. You will realize that among the millions who have heard about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and about our efforts, there are some who have been disposed to regard us with our curiosity and wish fun; but Judge O'Brien among the millions stands out as a real friend and well-wisher to us and to this cause, and it gives me great pleasure to present him to you as one of the best friends not only in the city of New York, not only in the United States of America, but one of the best friends in the world. (Appease.) JUDGE O'BRIEN SPEAKS Judge O'Brien rose amidst great cheering and said; Mr. Garvey, Ladies and Gentlemen—After the very eloquent and inspiring address of your Bishop, there is not a whole lot that I can say to you, but I am glad of the honor to be here today upon this speech-making occasion which means to me and to you and to the world at large something more than the launching of a boat. M. R. terminated and able leadership setting out to accomplish big things for themselves, their face and the generation in which they live. (Applause). Something Great and Inspiring And so this is something great and inspiring today. To my mind, as I said, it means opening up of a new age—a new era, not where you will swell up with vaunted pride and bonustness, but rather that you will most likely go about your way letting your works speak for themselves; letting your achievements and your great achievements measure up themselves and draw their "appreciation from the onlookers and observers who will mark your progress as you move on"; and so with our great educational institutions open at all times; with our great public school system in the Empire State; with our libraries and with all these means by which we can benefit ourselves mentally and morally, let us embrace all these opportunities so that while we are accomplishing things in the material way—accomplishing things that mean progress in a physical way, we will at the same time be accomplishing great things mentally and morally and educationally. (Applaise.) Message Will Ring Around the World So I say to your great leader today that the message that will go from 15th street will ring round the world. Whether you have many friends out in Chicago; whether your membership has strayed to the far West; const, they will hear the message today of the launching of the Booker T. Washington, and to them it will be a great inspiration first, not to flag before difficulties and not to feel drauged by obstacles that may beset their course in any effort that they may make for the benefit of their race, and again to show them the great possibilities of your race in any field of endeavor that they undertake to progress in. Mr. Garvey Congratulated Mr. Garvey Congratulated I congratulate your President therefore upon his great accomplishment. How he has kept his spirit and how he has kept his courage in the face of all the well-nigh overpowering difficulties and opposition and hostilities, is a mystery to us all, and I cannot conceive of anything that has kept his courage other than a spiritual and supernatural health. To him and to you, therefore, I wish you godspend. You will remain here as part of our city, and indeed an important factor. You have made and carved your place in New York City. Our city has something to be proud of with every race and every people and every creed making up its great constituency; and with New York growing from six to eight and ten and fifteen million in our own generation, our great city will progress; and it needs you as it needs every other race to make it succeed and to work out its great frultuation and harvest the efforts being made today to make our city a great place in which to live. I congratulate your President heartily. I come here out of interest in the great work in which you are engaged. I come here out of a sense of gratitude for friendship, when I sought friendship, and I hope we will never be looking in the greatest of virtues - appreciation. I come here because I know of the struggles that mark a century of history for your race in this country; and from the early days when, as a schoolboy over New England town, when I read of the difficulties and discouragement and the great achievement and the great power and personality of that great leader of your race. Toussaint I'ouverture. I have, since that time watched with great interest and anxiety the things that you have done, not only in big days, but in this generation. "Sun is Shining" The sun is shining. There is a great harvest in store for you, and I am sure that, under the wise leadership and under the guidance of a great leader like Mr. Carvey, you will move on to great and big things. Today you have consummated a great big thing; but bear in mind what I said a moment ago and which I will leave with you as a closing word this evening: after this great vessel that will blow the easel and carry people and friends to other climes, it is not what it represents materially, but, rather, what it typifies in the great work that you have before you, that you can succeed if you are determined to succeed and you are ready to make the sacrifice for the cause. (Vociferous applause.) At the instance of Hon. Marcus Garvey three justly cheered were given for Judge O'Brien. ALDERMAN J. W. SMITH SPEAKS The next speaker was Alderman John W. Smith, who said: I listened with tears in my eyes to the veneration of the previous speaker. This is truly an epoch-making day. After all, it is a good thing that we suffer. There was a time when I myself did not look seriously on the efforts of Marcus Garvey, because of the uphill battle that he was fighting. But Jesus Christ Himself had to make the supreme sacrifice in order that we might now be living in this age. There is not a man or woman within the sound of my voice. If they are mind-minded, who does not today endeavor to emulate and to appreciate the great uphill struggle that was made by Jesus Christ Himself when He was on this earth. And, my friends, anything that is worth while is worth suffering for. There is one thing in the life of Marcus Garvey that I have discovered; that, notwithstanding the uphill struggle and the difficulties which he has encountered, he has kept his head up. Notwithstanding that there are vipers and snakes in your organization, as well as there are in the churches, Marcus Garvey has kept his head up and borne the brunt of the battle. And with such a man as a leader, whether or not his material body lives or whether or not he is here to see the crowning of his efforts or to see the crowning of his ideals, I am satisfied that this organization will march on to prosperity some time in the future. Godspeed I am proud indeed to have the privilege of being here today to add just a few words to what has been said and to add a little bit to what has been done. I wish this ship Godspeed. "I believe this ship has taken thousands of our boys across the sea and brought them safely back. I wish her Godspeed. I trust that while she is plunging through the ocean she may do so with credit not only to herself but to the effort which has made it possible for her to plough the ocean—the effort of our great leader, Marcus Garvey. It matters not whether Marcus Garvey lives or whether he does not, he has typified what Longfellow wrote about when he said: "Lives of great men all remind us. We should make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." My friends, I say to you now that this is one of the privileges of my life to be able to come here today to express my appreciation and my heartfelt wish that this will be only the beginning of a great era; that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will live long and prosper, and may its indomitable leader have all that is good in life and may he be spared the privilege of being able to lead you until the great Maker says "Come up higher, Marcus Garvey." (Applause.) ASSEMBLYMAN BILLUPS' SPEECH Assembler, Pope P. Billups was the next speaker. He said: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - I am extremely proud of this opportunity to be present here this evening because of the fact that I think we are making history. Again I am glad to have the THE LATE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON opportunity of appearing here because of the fact that I for one take a decided interest in and find a real, true and deep sense of gratitude at every mark—at every rung of the ladder which my people climb on the ladder of life. I have had occasion to note the work of your organization from its very beginning. I think I had the pleasure of meeting your president within the first week after his arrival in New York. I had the opportunity to work with him part of the time. We all differ sometimes with reference to certain matters of polley, but, nevertheless, I have done this one thing—and your President-general I think will bear me out—I have carefully refined from doing anything that would tend to hamper him or to discourage him in what he has done for the best interests of his people and my people. The Cultivation of a Phase of the This ship today marks the culmination of a life spent with a fixed end in view. This is not the end of his ambition; it is not the end of yours, but when we come here this evening and get on board this ship, almost every dollar her represents actual life-blood wring from the heart of the man who stands at your head here today. I have oftentimes told him, and I have said it in the presence of a good number of your officials, that while I thought at one time—especially when I was trying to get through college running an elevator at $35 a month from six o'clock in the evening till eight o'clock in the morning—I thought I was a determined man. I did not think I had any determination at all compared with the case of Marvin Garvey. I would have crumpled under the strain he has been under. But it typifies this one thing: If you will notice it, in every period of the world's history the Dyline Providence has always so marked and steered the life of some individual that he could step into at the time when almost the existence of a race or a country depended upon some man being fitted to step into that breach. And we are fortunate this evening in having Mr. Garvey here at this time; after all the opposition that has been plotted against him to see here today that he has succeeded in getting a ship here to represent his people and to take a part in the life of commerce of the nations of the world. We Must Co-Operate One parting word and then I shall have finished. We must co-operate. No one of us could have purchased this ship we see here today. It represents the combined effort and cooperation of us all. This is indeed worthy, but we have got to co-operate further. This is not the end of what you might accomplish, but you should make this the beginning and by reason of the experience and by reason of the heartaches that you have had in reaching this far along the road, resolve to profit by them and strike out on the road that lies between you and further things which you hope to accomplish, and the only way you can do that is by continued co-operation. I do not want to talk politics, but I want to say to you now that every commodity of life is governed in a large measure by politics, and the most sacred right and the most influential weapon that any individual has or any group of individuals have in regulating these commodities of life is the careful and judicious exercise of the right of suffrage. I want to say to you that with this powerful organization my party, no individual within a parter that had to face this number of combined voters, who are determined along a certain line, would have the nerve or the efficiency to do anything contrary to the wishes of an organization that has such enormous power bounded to me. I want to inform you so falsely a decided interest Along with your other activities to life, in the political life of the nation, just like you and your colleagues have always all commercially aware, you want to be willing to support along with them. I am sure you will be THE FIRST STEAM SAILING IN THE WORLD View of S. GENERAL G. W. GOETHALS, rechristened the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON January 18, alongside Pier 75, New York. will increase the strength of your organization by a millionfold. Message of Hope May this ship that you have got here today serve as a beacon light to send out the message of hope and inspiration not only throughout the United States but throughout the world, so that our less fortunate brothers and sisters will join with us in the efforts that make for the cohesion good of the race, so that our little boys and girls in whom we must be interested will have a better opportunity in life by reason of the fact that you co-operated with each other to make things better for those to come. I congratulate you on this achievement, and it is my earnest wish that this will be just a beginning—a small beginning of what you are going to accomplish in the very near future, and remember, that if you do not accomplish all of this during the lives of you present here" it is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die" and I disagree with the poet who says: "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is often intertwined with their bones." I say to you that you ought to think of posterity, think of the little boys and girls who will be the men and View of S. 6, GENERAL G. W. GOET WASHINGTON January 18, women of tomorrow, and do what you can here for the betterment of the race of which you are a part. I congratulate you. (Appearance) DR. E. E. RAWLINS' ADDRESS Dr. E. E. Rawlins spoke briefly. He said he was very glad to have the opportunity to say a few words and express his admiration for Mr. Garvey as leader and for the members of the organization who have such splendid spirit in accomplishing something that has never, before been accomplished by our race, in spite of the difficulties that have been placed in their way. This achievement was one on which we may just pride ourselves and it bespoke a great future for the race. Most of the speakers had given due credit to Mr. Garvey, but he wanted to add his congratulations to the members and well wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for showing to the world that we at least can come together and follow a leader. ATTORNEY THORNE'S ADDRESS Attorney J. B. Thorne-spoke a few words in commendation of the present officers of the Universal Negro Association. "You have," he said, "in the organization at this present time men who have sacrificed. Money has not been their aim and object; they have wanted to in and do not perhaps without remuneration. They have stacked to their gums and are worthy of every effort that may be made in their behalf. This article explains the behavior of a new step; but we should not stop Thorne, let this also be the form of our new step, as this is the course. of this year we will we many more ships. Let us put our own efforts and work together for good and nothing in this world can stop us from accomplishing what we set before us. May God bless the ship and grant her a safe voyage. MR. GARVEY'S CLOSING REMARKS H. Marcus, Garvey said: The Booker T. Washington sells at 1490 this evening. The commander of the boat is occupied in other places of the ship and I am not able to introduce him personally to those of you who are here. You will understand that we are operating this boat under different management. The original line that we conducted, the Black Star Line that you all know of—was an effort to prove that men of our own race were able again to take their stand on the high seas. Unfortunately the venture was a costly one. Because of treachery and disloyalty the Black Star Line met with great difficulties. After suspension of activities in the steamship line for two years we resumed the effort under the supervision of Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. This is our first time. The note holders or the people who borne the money for the purchase of this boat are 50 per cent, original promoters and sun- THAL8, rechristened the BOOKER T. alongside Pier 75, New York. porters of the Black Star Line, which shows that even though the Black Star Line met with failure, they in no way have been discouraged and it points to the fact that they are determined to carry out the program they have initiated of linking the race throughout the world commercially. We on this side are endeavoring commercially to link up ourselves with the West Indies, Central America and Africa. It is for that reason that we have launched the Booker T. Washington for trade relationship with our people all over the world. The officers of this new venture are all white. The captain is a white man—a Norwegian, and the other officers are all white men with the exception of two colored men, one the third mate and one the third engineer, and we feel that by the proper discipline and proper experience members of our race from time to time will develop the ability and the fitness to take charge of the many ships that we hope to have in the future, but because of the experience we have had in the past we have had to step upon our white friends to conduct the venture as far as our boats going to sea is concerned, and I am able to report to you the splendid cooperation that is being manifested and the interesting between the new men and the officers. The officers have had change of the boat for the last six weeks preparing for men and they have improved the best cooperation with the best and the best discipline ahead the best in艘艇. I am sure that all of us feel that the Patiently, whistfully, silently, a little crowd stands in the dgrkness at Pier 75. New York Harbor, waiting ... A ship's horn-blows, deep and sonorous. A choir echoes through the night — once, twice — from throats tight with emotion. Like a phantom ship, the gallight atsamship Booker T. Washington moves gracefully out to sea and starts upon the first lap of her maiden voyage. All is dark; there is little to see. But this small group has waited to say the last word to breathe the last prayer to cheer on her way this ship carrying the hopes of millions. So ends the first chapter of the book of maritime and commercial success that the Negro people have begun to write. From early afternoon on Sunday, January 18, great crowds hurried to Pier 75 to see this phenomenon—a ship bought and paid for by Negroes to be operated upon the high seas by them for their commercial advancement and profit. But to the thoughtful observer the phenomenon was not the ship but the eager, hurrying crowd gathering to behold her. On they come! Here is the curious one who comes solely for the purpose of gathering information, blind and different to all else. There we see the double who comes to be convinced. And yet again we have those who come as on a lark, pleasure heist, looking for "something different." Here is the sober one, gloomy here all will not be well. But here and there we behold the eager, trustful countenance from which the eyes of faith look forth to encourage and inspire. All are there, coming "for to see." Almost all Negroes, the most interesting and the most puzzling race on the face of the globe. Presently the time arrives for the childening. The ceremonies are impressive, the speeches are interesting, the applause frequent and hearty. Praise is not lacking for the Black Cross, Navigation and Trading Company and its indomitable and far-sseeing greater. The loyal and faithful members who made the venture, possible are encouraged and strengthened. All are inspired. And so the afternoon passes, the ceremonies end and the ship is cleared to prepare for sailing. The thousands who came passed on to other things. A few braved the cold to remain until the end. And it was worth whatever discomfort the waiting entailed. The most solemn moment of the afternoon could not match the moment when that ship upon which so many black people have staked their arm moved out to sea. Silently and majestically it disappeared into the night. Negroes everywhere ought to be interested in and proud of the S. S. Booker T. Washington — "Douglas Thomases" who believed and preached that a ship could not be launched should cease their destructive propaganda and use whatever talent and ability they possess to put over this practical and constructive commercial program. No matter what our disagreements may be within the race, all Negroes ought to know that the white world sees you as one group. Hence, success for a portion of our group cannot fall to redemption to the credit of all. Likewise, failure of any considerable portion falls like a machete of dispair over all. This is inevitable; none can escape. The Booker T. Washington carries encouragement and inspiration to our brothers in Central America and the West Indies. Bound by ties of blood, we seek to bind them yet closer by trade and commerce. Who is there to challenge the practicality and worthiness of such a mission? The Negro grace, like individuals, must make a beginning if it ever hopes to take its place among the leading races of the world. Nothing worthwhile is achieved without effort and oftimes a struggle. A small beginning does not in any way indicate to what proportions a venture will develop. Since this is so, how much prouder ought the Negroes of America and the world feel over this very splendid and creditable beginning of a commercial program unlimited in its possibilities. The man who conceived this great plan is Marcus Garvey. To him, we must credit the wise and skillful leadership which made the booker T. Washington a reality. His unconquerable spirit, his never failing optimism in the face of the most discouraging opposition which at times has bordered on persecution, have been the means of keeping alive the spirit of those who would go forward at any cost. Mr. Garvey's worst enemy and most severe critic must recognize and admire the courage of this distinguished leader of Negroes throughout the world." Mr. Garvey has consistently and persistently seen nothing, but success until it came. All Negroes may not agree with everything Mr. Garvey preaches, but nons can bear him. (Continued on page 7) Booker T. Washington will go to meet this evening with a group of men (white and colored), who are working in union for the best interests of the colored race. As I said a while ago, we have many oceans, but we have also many friends, and in the civil life when we can depend upon friends like Judge O'Brien, we can also in the maritime depend upon other men of other races who are willing to help us so we can at least prove the motives we are made of and get a fair share of the world's goods, which are at the disposal of each and every one of us. Therefore I compliment the handlers in the Black Crescent Navigators and Trading Co. our friends and supporters for the volunteer help they give us to make this a succession (Australia). LIBERTY HALL THOUSANDS SERIOUS AS BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SAILS (Continued from part 3) tual work, to give a new message of real humility to mankind. Fight the Great Enemy Now, speaking just on the point of freedom of Africa and freedom of India, from a political standpoint, I should make it very clear that we should not start our work in the way that our mutual enemies may take advantage of. Even though there are other enemies, we should concentrate all our energy on one great enemy. The Religion of Love I will tell you one other thing touching on religion. I will not say more, because I have so little time. Here are some pamphlets you may take away. These will explain to you more of my religious views. But I will tell you one thing: I am not against Christianity. I think my religion is as much Christianity as anybody else's. I believe I am more Christian than many people who are, because I try to work to the principles of Jesus Christ, because I preach the religion of love. But I will tell you one thing, that, when you are working for Africa, when you are working for India, that one great obstacle is also in your path. In Africa today Christianity is not prevailing. There is very little Christianity in the name of Christianity in Africa. The ruling religion is the Islam religion, and you will have to go work out your plans for Africa that you do not make enemies for yourself. Because, after all, the followers of Mohammed, of Islam and of Jesus Christ are really working in hand, not for Jesus Christ or for Mohammed, but for the emancipation of mankind. That is the real object of every religion. That should be the object of religion. As soon as any religious system has not got this object in view, it is not religion at all. We find in many churches in the United States at present they only speak of religion, but they are no longer religious. They only make a show of religion. They will build palaces, have all comforts, but they think little of the poor people, for whom Jesus Christ came into this world and worked. I cannot take more time now, as I must be helpful. But let me thank you once again for your interest. (Apologies.) AN ANNOUNCEMENT Hon. Marcus Garvey then made the following announcement and appeal in regard to the Black Cross Navalization and Trading Company: Before I deliver my speech tonight and I have not yet made up in my mind what I shall say. I want to make an explanation and an appeal in the name of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Our ship went to sea at 6:40 this evening. She is now bound for Philadelphia, where she will arrive tomorrow and load coal and cargo and take on passengers for Norfolk, and from there for Havana on her cruise to Central America and the West Indies, taking thirty-two or thirty-three days. As you know, she carries aboard some of our most prominent residents of prominent divisions. Among the passengers that sailed today of the Boater T. Washington we have that taking height and worker of the organization in the West, St. William Ware of Cincinnati captain. We have that shuttle to supporter of our cause in the great city on the lake, the great city of Detroit, the Hon. Fred E.

KAPLAN The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE and REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 831 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK STOMACH Johnson, president of the Detroit Division, as also the Colonel of the great division of the Windy City, Chicago, and among the passengers she carries away from Liberty Hall are our own secretary, Miss Hannah Nichols. So that among the passengers we have people whom we can ill afford to send away, because we need workers now; but they need a rest and a vacation. And, again, some of them ought to get the education of seeing the tropes. She carries also as a passenger, and representative the Secretary-General. Hon. G. B. Carter, and she also carries that person that is always aboard, Lady Heuletra Vinton Davis. And she also carries that little firebrand representative of our womanhood, Miss De Mena, who is going to be the money-getter of the whole trip. So we have a splendid combination that has gone, and I feel sure the report will be good. Credit to the World of Negroes We have sent out of New York harbor today one of the biggest and best equipped ocean liners which is not only a credit to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and its bondholders, not only a credit to the association that promotes the activities of this corporation, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the sailing of the ship this afternoon reflects credit on the active race in the United States of America and the world. (Appease). They won't be able to say it is a rickety ship. (Laughter). It is one of the best-built ships afloat. Anybody will tell you that, and everybody who is not friendly regrets we have such a ship. But we have it anyhow, and I may say this that that ship sailed today and we do not owe anybody one penny on that ship. (Appease). That ship from soon to stern, from bottom to masthead, belongs entirely to Negroes, and only also represent actual cash. The rest want to see what we did. The sailing was no Joke. And I would like to relate my experiences. One of these days when I can find a little time I will write them and leave for you to read. But I may say that the Negro is the worst devil to himself in the world. There seems to be something in this race that you can hardly understand humanly. Do you know that while on the one hand we have a lot of disinterested white people who do not care about anybody or anything but their own, while on the one hand we have a number of people like that even among ourselves, we have an element that is worse than the devil himself. And when we come to think and speak of opposition the opposition is not so much from without the race as from within the race. If it were left to the black man the wicked-hearted black man, that ship would not have sailed today, because some did everything to prevent it from sailing. A Traitorous Negro Who would believe that when at the white people of New York today tried to help out and tried to facilitate and I want to say this the Customs authorities and the Postal authorities and the Book authorities have done everything humbly possible to help us to go through; if there was any influence or effect to handle, it appears a black man. A Negro whose name you will later know after pretending to be working for the good of caring through certain arrangements, he entered into with us, in that we went out of our way to give that Negro business because of our racial patronism; we could have gotten our business done quicker and better and more reasonably by giving it to representative white people to look after, but this colored man came with the usual plea of "Well, we are colored people and we ought to help one another," and we tried to do that. And who would believe that that colored man tried to trick us up to the last moment, and one minute before twelve—he thought he was smart—that Negro got a blake to place on that boat so that the boat could not sail out of New York, knowing the courts of New York close at twelve o'clock, and that we would not be informed of it until probably one o'clock, which would have been too late to have anything legal done, so that the boat would not sail today. Forestalled But that Negro only thought he was smart. We were not asleep, and when we looked into that Negro's eyes we saw he meant to be bad, and when he thought he had us at one minute to twelve o'clock we were ready for him at twelve. And where he thought, he would have been able to do harm to this corporation and to set back our intention, he is going to have trouble on his hands he has never had before. If it cost me my life and every penny that we have we will get even with that Negro. That Negro thought we had no money, and, therefore, we could not get a bond to put up, and he did not even want us to get a bond because he tried to do his dirt one minute before the Courts closed, so that we could not get the service of the courts to undo what he did. At the last moment we put up a bond of five thousand dollars. He thought probably we were down and out and could not do anything. But our worst enemies are not outsiders. There were white men in New York who erased shame at the acts of a Negro against his own, and when that Negro was trying to do harm to us there were white people in New York who were willing to come to the rescue of the Black Crocodile Navigation and Trading Company and prevent that Negro from doing anything, even against the progress of his own race. Congregating the Membership. And as I am able to report tonight the launching out into a new era, somebody moved. Chris choirs for Marcus Garvey a while ago for what happened today. Let us be fair to ourselves. The cheers are all yours—those of you who have honestly and truthfully and loyalty responded to the call, to the urge of service. Without your co-operation we could have done nothing. The ship sailed today and will continue to sail the mighty deep because of the response you gave, because of your faith in this great movement, because of your confidence in the leadership of that movement. The credit is yours, and I return to you the compliment that you paid me while ago because it is equally yours as it is mine. or thirty or fifty years more. Who knows, but God, that you might have been today the witnesses of the fore-runner of a great system of commerce and industry that may yet become the wonder of our civilization, that may yet be one of the marvels of the world. If all the members of the Negro race could only realize that behind the sailing of the Booker Washington is a possibility, is a height to be reached that is as much yours as it has been for other peoples, for other races in other ages, in other climates. The starting of that ship on the high seas today was marked with much BI In your SENT In your BLOG In your BON jug, and are you WEAKNESS NERVOUSN I thank you from the depths of my heart for serving yourselves, because sometimes we do not know our best friends, and, therefore, I have to thank you for serving yourselves. You will probably later on in the week, in the month or the year, or in time realize what you did today. You know the news has gone around the world already. The dockmaster said to me he had an appointment with the newspaper syndicate for seven. You know the crowd left before five-thirty because it was getting dark. Now that appointment was to state the exact minute the ship sailed, and the ship sailed at 6:40, and that news has gone around the world not only in serving the universal Negro Improvement Association, in proving of what backlone it is made, but the news has gone in service to the whole race, and tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, when the world reads, when the busy world is on its way to business and to trade, they will read of the Negro determination never to say die. (Applause.) Then and Now What Honest Effort Does And that only process to you what can be done if our people will only be honest and true to each other. I am satisfied that every penny of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company went into its right channel, and I in my surveillance and scrutiny of the officers must thank the Treasurer of the Black, Cross Navigation and Trading Company for placing every penny where it was intended. So that we have the boat and we take the honor to ourselves tonight of owing something that is real. You know no ordinary movement could have done what we have done. Show me a group of Negroes that could have gotten $100,000.00 together to do one thing. There is not a mortgage on it. The ballast aboard, the groceries aboard, everything aboard is paid for. We do not owe anybody a dime on it. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS$ MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for tonight is "Our New Effort." The world is made up of business activities. When we discard our sentiment, when we throw away our emotions, when we fail in our religion, there is one thing that stands out prominently in our existence, and that is our every-day tail. Take away from the world its activities in business, and in commerce, civilization comes to a standstill and the world becomes one great vast plain of ruin. Look around the great city of New York, look around the great country of America as far as you can see, throughout the world you will see that the tollers of industry, the tollers of commerce are the props that support the nation, are the props that support the race. Indication of Great Possibilities Those of you who visited the christening and took part in the in-spection of the new ship the S. S. Booker Washington, will ask yourself "What is this all about? Is it only a medium of sensation and of pleasure?" The answer from any reasonable thinking would be "No absolutely no!" Burrogate John P. O'Brien said when he was responding to the call for a speech that the effort to launch the S. S. Booker Washington was something pristoworthy for our race. But it was not the complete achievement that was specified; it was only an indication of the great possibilities that he before a people of vision and perseverance. The lesson to you who saw the Booker Washington today may live but ten or twenty or thirty or fifty years, more. Who knows, but God, that you might have been, today the witnesses of the forerunner of a great system of commerce and industry that, may yet become the wonder of our civilisation, that may yet be one of the marvels of the world. If all the members of the Negro race could only realise that behind the sailing of the Booker. Washington is a possibility, is a height to be reached that is as much you as it has been for other peoples, for other races in other ages, in other climbs. The starting of that ship on the high seas today was marked with much more compliment, was marked with much more satisfaction than many of the efforts that started among the great-rulers of the world today when they had to make a beginning. A Gift Hone We have started with a hope of reaching the highest in commercial and industrial glory with a ship that is equipped in every detail and that is regarded as as good a craft as any that sails the seas. But when we think of the great maritime power of England, when we think of the great maritime power of America, when we think of the great maritime power of France and Spain and realize through history the depths from whence they have come, we then in truth realize the great possibilities that are before us. The Carthaginians, the Spaniards the French, the Italians when they first made the effort and started out in the conquest of the sea and the building of the maritime commerce and industry started under less favorable industries than we started under this afternoon. And if we, as a bulk, as a race, as a whole, can only get to realize the possibilities that are before us as the Carthaginians did in their day, as the Sganzardis did in their day, and as the English did when they made their beginning—if we can only realize it as they did, the posterity of our race, our children, the children of those of us who visited the "Booker Washington" today would be able in days to come to feel as happy, to feel as grand, to feel as noble as the people of the gations that I have named who started in generations gone by under less favorable circumstances than we started under today. New Conquest to Be Made New Conquest to Be Made There is much more to be commercially and industrially to accomplish and to achieve. Sending that boat to Central America and the West Indies is going to open up a trade communication that may yet be the salvation of Harlem, yet be the salvation of the Negroes of America, the Negroes of the West Indies, yet be the salvation of the Negroes of the world. The launching of the "Booker Washington" is but putting into execution the program that we have talked about for the new year. It is a new conquest that is to be made. It is not going to be a conquest of words, it is not going to be a conquest of arms, it is the conquest of commerce and industry upon which the pillars of nations are built. So you will expect of those of us leading this great movement at this time our business experience in lifting the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company to the heights of success, to the heights of prosperity. And there is absolutely no doubt that we can get there; we can get there with your cooperation, your support—not your individual support—but by your collective support. When it is considered that this great big line was bought by thirty-five people, and that this great movement has millions of members throughout the world, if for the next twelve months we can mobilize the finances, the interest and the confidence of these millions of people, do you know what will be the business possibilities of this great movement at the end of this year? Ah, if we were dedicating a church we would not have seen so many curious faces today. We had French reporters there, we had German reporters and Italian reporters there, we had Kauter's Service of France and England, we had Japanese representatives there. If it were of such slight significance do you think all the representatives of the nations of the world would have been directed to pleas this afternoon? No. The Sober-Minded See Into the Future The intelligent and sober-minded world knows what will follow that great event when the Negroes are conscious of their responsibility. If you become conscious of your responsibility and will do what is right by yourselves there is absolutely no reason why the Negroes of the world will not be as powerful in commerce and in industry as any other race of the world. You have at your command two-thirds of the world's raw material. If you could only combine your intelligence commercially and industrially as you have combined for the past fifty years religiously, we would move the commercial centers of the world and bring men everywhere to recognize that the Negro is a man for that. Religion and Commerce Why, what have we done in fifty years? We have built up the greatest religious organization the world has even seen in our Christian civilization in fifty years. Take stock of what the Negro spent in America alone in religion and you will find that he owns more in churches than any other race in the world. That is one thing that you can say to the credit of the Negro—he knows how to build and buy churches. We have more in churches than any other race in the world, and there is no more religious people than the Mohammedans. They have their mosques and other places of worship everywhere. But the Negroes in the Western world beat every other race in investing in churches—in religion. If we could, in the next two years, mobilize the same spirit behind new commercial enterprises, do you know what would happen? Every Negro in the Western World would become self-reporting and independent as far as his race goes he would not have to go detritus of his race for cultivation or for modes of any kind, because you have Is your SYSTEM you down, weak, tired?

FEELING NEURALGIA the power at your control, you have the power in your hand, and that is what the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company is endeavoring before you fretly. I do hope that after the ship makes its first voyage you will not continue to lag in your duty and responsibility to the corporation, and allow us to go out into the open market-to get freight, but that you will have behind the corporation such a financial reserve that when that ship sails out of New York again she will take the cargo invoked in by you to the people of our race in the West Indies and Central America, and being back from them a cargo of their own as their investment, so that you may intelligently reap the profits that really go to make the world of business. The word is guided not by religion, because the whole of us would die in twenty-four hours for our religion's sake. I dare any Negro in here now who tells me he can live on his religion. You can't for more than forty-eight hours, otherwise a doctor will have to come and see you, and if you try to go beyond forty-eight hours on your religion it will pass the doctor's perogative—the undertaker will have to come and take you. You can't live on sentiment in these days caring not, however holy sentiments are. And the Lord Himself said you must live by the sweat of your brow. That is not religion, that is hard work. And the Lord knew what. He was talking about. Look at my brow now—I am working now. (Laughter). Religion of, Work Will Save The religion of hard work, the religion of toll, is the religion that is going to save the human race, not the religion of sentiment and emotion. And it is the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to this new year to teach the people commercial and industrial intelligence. You are going to be a power in Harlem, you are going to beta power in New York, in America, in the West India Islands, South and Central America and Africa just so far as you are going to put business intelligence behind your intentions. That is where the salvation of Africa lies. The situation of Africa that we aim at and which we are saying very little about for the most few years lies through our own possibilities, and the launching of the Booster T. Washington is but one ferryman to that time, and I pardon it will be in force, and I see a vision before me when those ignorant Negroes who lack and often will change their attitude. Talking about buying a flat instead of a ship. You know these big Negroes you should invest in an apartment house. Listen, if we and invested one hundred thousand dollars in an apartment house do you think we would have attracted at the opening of the house as many of those white folks that came down there representing the commercial interests of the world? That would have been nothing more than the ordinary. More Behind It "The buying of that ship, the acquiring of that ship, may be an insignificant thing to foolish Negroes who think they know, but to the intelligent world they know what is behind it, and that is what we want you to know. We want you to know there is something more behind it. What is behind it is my vision of the next five years when we will have on the ocean by God's help, by your combined intelligence, by one "Booker T. Washington" but fifty booker T. Washington." (Applause) And when that day comes, five, ten or thirty years from now that Negroes own fifty ships on the high seas there will be no more race problem in New York, there will be no more race problem in the United States, because at that time you will be one of the great races of the world. (Applauses.) If you West it then Negroes sit before me now, if you American Negroes sit before me now you only get a correct interpretation of what is in my mind and the mind of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company you will be got at heart and doubt the possibilities of the future, because through our combined efforts—and just as we are, we have not got to be millionaires to do what I am talking about, but by the hundreds of thousands of us getting together with our little mites, our dollars, or fifty cents, the things I talk about can be done.

Thanks to the Workers I am closing my remark tonight, but again before I close let me thank those of you who have so loyalty struck by us to raise this money. When the history of this great movement is to be written, and it is going to be written, surely we will not forget the people who have done their host to make it possible to carry out this great idea, and even though I personally as the leader of the movement may not have time to thank each and every one of you, you will understand it is in my heart. The time for expressing will come sooner or later, but realize, men, it is a duty each and every one of us must do and perform, and, as I said, I cannot close without specially referring to men like Ware of Cincinnati, Fred Johnson and Joe Craigen of Detroit, and J. J. Peters of Chicago, who at every call made for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company roused their divisions to activity to help us put the program over. I have gotten more support from these men than from anybody else. When executive officers tell down these men have stood in their divisions to help put over the program. And let me thank them publicly tonight for the splendid work they have done, and let me thank the membership as large for its moral and financial support. Without your support it would have not been possible. Take the thanks you gave me for yourselfs, take the three cheers for yourselfs because you are the ones I have to thank for the splendid work you have done of sending the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Training Company to sea. (ephepause). THAT SHIP OF OURS (Continued from page 6) thoughtfully without, being inspired to better manhood and womanhood. Those who have thus far faithfully and loyalty supported Mr. Garvey have given the lie to the leaders of our race who have believed and repeatedly declared that Negroes would not follow leadership. This one phase of his movement ought to command the attention of Negroes everywhere and especially in America. The S. S. Booker T. Washington is a beautiful and encouraging monument to group work among us under the direction of capable and efficient leader. But this effort is simply a beginning. The history of our commercial efforts is set to be written. Elected Negroes everywhere ought to acquaint themselves with the aims and plans of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, so that they may explain them to those who have no other way of learning of this great venture of our race. Those who make up what we call the great masses are willing to do their part. Let those who know how point the way. To what better cause can we dedicate our talent and training? Negroes everywhere are struggling and contending for social, economic and political freedom. Most of their efforts are an arrows speeding through darkness. One small group brave enough to believe and venture has presented the race with something practical and tangible. What are we going to lead with it? Are we going to rise now and go forward? Or are we going to sit tally by with indifferent or critical eyes, secretly hoping that the venture will fail and die? The Negro race is now being watched by the world and weighted in the balance. Let us not be found wanting. For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Katherine Swamp-Root, the great kidnapper.

Than Putting Them Out Zero weather brings with it not only the discomfort of facing raw winds that chill to the bone, but also the ever-present danger of fires from overheating. It is a very natural thing for one to pile coal into the furnace in an attempt to keep the home reasonably warm. But this leads to overheating, and overheated furnaces are the source of probably most of our winter fires, frequently quite disastrous. Care should be taken in feeding furnaces. The temperature should not be forced above that which the type of the furnace and the structure of the house permit. Every winter witnesses a heavy loss in life and property from just such fires which in most instances could be avoided were the proper care taken.

The interview in part states: "I don't expect to see a black Africa in any time," said Sir Harry, who is 66, and living in retirement in his Sussex home after his years of service throughout Africa. "However, it is entirely possible that within half a century all of Africa from the Zambesi to the Sahara may be a great black republic. "The northern fringe of Africa, from Morocco and Algiers to Egypt is pretty definitely and thoroughly European. Likewise it will be many years before the British holdings below the Zambesi, the Cape of Good Hope and Rhodesia, can be lost to the British flag. But many other considerations go to indicate the eventual success of a black republic throughout Africa. The deadly climate in the central portions—the Congo and the Cameroons—a climate absolutely fatal to Europeans, is one factor. The success of the Negro republic Liberia is another. The rising desire for independence—the flowing tide of color—is yet another. "Many of the Negro tribes in Africa are fully capable of independence and unless their political instincts are depraved by the ingress of Europeans, they should be able to take care of themselves. The African Negro at his best is a high type of manhood." It is peculiar to note how many Negro newspapers reproduced extracts from the above statements, and topped them with glowing headlines such as, "Vast Black Republic Foreseen for Africa, Africa Will Again Belong to Negroes." These same Negro journals ridiculed Marcus Garvey when he predicted eight years ago that Africa will some day belong to the black man. They continued to call him fantastic, dreamer, even mad man. How could Africa, or any part of it under the control of England, France, Belgium or Spain, become the property of black men, they argued? Until now that a white man makes the same prediction, their argument against the feasibility of it ceases. It is a fact. It will surely come to pass. This attitude displays the slavish mentality of some Negroes who can never see good in the members of their own race, but will readily believe what men of the white race say. Their firstwhile masters have loosened the shackles from their wrists but their mentality is still enslaved. This is the unseen power that keeps the race where others would have it be. Regardless of ridicule and opposition members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have rallied to the slogan of "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad," and have not allowed alien races to think for them, but to think about them. Now black and white are envisioning a vast African commonwealth, controlled by Negroes and stretching its powerful arms of protection to Negroes throughout the globe. "Glory be to God," the old woman in the Amen Corner in church would say. So let it be, we repeat. The desire for independence and nationalism for the Negro is the cry of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for that its members work, and it is gratifying to see how the cry has gone throughout the world and awakened to consciousness sleeping Negroes who never thought in terms of nationhood before. The dream of a redeemed Africa for Negroes will be realized in less than twenty-five years if all Negroes will forget their petty jealousies and insular prejudices and fall in line with the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The more workers for the cause the sooner will the objective be reached. The leadership of this great nationalist movement is linking up the scattered members of the race by steamships, teaching them that they are of the same blood, no matter where they may be domiciled; educating and preparing them as future citizens of the African Commonwealth. It is a great task, a noble effort, and should appeal to every man and woman with one drop of Negro blood in their veins. AN OMISSION In last week's issue of our paper an article on "Sojourner Truth" appeared without the name of the author, through an oversight, and for which we are very sorry.

Just beyond Blue Island, about fourteen miles from Chicago's loop lies Robbins, the Utopia for colored folk, a village of 99 per cent. colored population, colored preachers, colored teachers, and colored village officials; a settlement of, by and for the colored people. It is a village of practically no business, in which the police department has been discharged for lack of crime, which has doubled and redoubled its population since its incorporation in 1817; a center with a church on almost every corner of "Main street." Robbins provides an opportunity for Negroes from Chicago to experiment in the management of their own affairs. The experiment, it is universally agreed, has been a success. T, J. Kellar, who was the first mayor of the 'incorporated' villages, when its population was 350 and one of the outstanding figures in the development of the colored colony to its present census of more than 2,000, declared today that Robbins has solved the "Negro problem" in and around Chicago. "Just as Chicago has had trouble in some sections of its 'black belt,' we in Robbins," he said, "were forced to incorporate and keep order in our white belt." During the early years of the settlement, roadhouses and gaming resorts were run by unscrupulous white people within the limits of what we called our village, forced us to obtain legal strength. We recruited a police department and appointed a chief and brought the cases of law violation before our police magistrate. Finally, we succeeded in stamping them out and since have been able to disband our police force. There hasn't been an arrest in Robbins for gambling, vice or crime in years. We have no jail." On the 133rd street, the main street of the village, a sign indicates the village limits. Recently it has also borne the tar inscription "K. K. K." "The initials were painted by one of the youngsters of the village," explained the former mayor, who is a clerk in the office of the board of assessors in the county building. "We have no trouble with the Klan; in fact, we are on the best of terms with the few white farmers who live on the outskirts of the village and who are intensely grateful to us for having run out the divekeepers and gamblers. "In politics the villagers are just beginning to experiment. Most of them had never voted before coming to us and now they are running a bit wild at times, but so far the village is out of debt and it is only a matter of time before real constructive politics will exert its influence in building and improving public works." Electric lights and telephones have been brought into the colored village and negotiations are under way to bring in water and gas. Fire protection is provided only by a bucket brigade. "Colored folk are intensely religious and greet joiners." Mr. Keller went on. "At present we have no fewer than a dozen religions and sects and half a dozen fraternal orders. Every man, woman and child in the village belongs to some fraternal order. The most prominent are the Masons, Eastern Star and the Women's Improvement club. That last named recently paid for a $3,000 clubhouse out of 5-cent weekly dues and the proceeds from entertainments. They are now putting in a library. "There is still a school shortage, although we have two buildings in the village, with three teachers and room for 150 children. A third, a county, school, also accommodates children from Robbins. After the eighth grade the youngsters go to Blue Island, or as far as Englewood high school of Chicago, to take a high school course." Eugene S. Robbins, a white-man, who opened the subdivision on which the village stands, also owns tracts to the west of the two acre miles held by the community. This is soon to be added to the "colored metropolis" and will occasion another increase in population. Street improvements are not yet seriously considered by the village trustees, presided over by Richard Flowers, an electrician, the present president of the village. "We must wait until the voters start to show a keener understanding of constructive politics before we can start street improvement on a large scale," said Mr. Kellar. "At present 19th street and Clare Boulevard are LAGOS COUGH TONIC FOR Indigestion, Constipation, Asthma, Allergy, Colds and other Respiratory bruises.

Incidentally, we have posted signs warning motorists that the speed limit is fifteen miles an hour, but without a motorcycle, policeman we have been unable to enforce it." Lens charity and more responsibility for the colored man is most likely to effect a cure of his ill, according to Mr. Kellar, "and that is just what we are giving him in Robbins; a chance to learn just what it's all about" and to take an active interest in his community and his own affairs." NOTES OF INTEREST Knowledge That Is Power Knowledge is something more than the accumulation of facts. A parrot can acquire a storehouse of stereotyped knowledge. He can record it in his brain just as it would be printed in the books, but he could make very little use of it. Knowledge is not power if one is not able to use it. And knowledge that is not usable is a handlecap. It is just like an over-supply of furniture in the living room. It is in the way. You are better off without it. It interferes with mental stability. It lessons one's reasoning capacity.—Bernard Macfadden, in The New York Graphic. Mental Ailment Called Fear Physicians and psychologists are devoting much attention—but not too much—to the subject of fear. Fear they tell us, is a remnant of the animal which evolution has not yet removed. Writers on the subject generally classify it as a disease—a disease of the mind. Certain it is that there can exist abnormal and subnormal conditions of the mind, the same as exist in the body. Fear, being almost wholly a mental alliment, must necessarily be cured by mental means. Everybody is a "fraidal cat" about one thing or another. Some of us are cowards and don't know it; others of us are cowards and won't admit it, but we are all cowards in some particular—household Journal. The Ambition of All People The greatest engine of moral power which human nature knows, is an organized, prosperous state. All that man in his individual capacity can do, all that he can effect by his fraternities by his ingenious discoveries and wonders of art, or by his influence over others. Is as nothing compared with the collective, perpetual influence on human affinity and human happiness, of a well-consisted powerful commonwealth.—E. Everett. Don't nag your girls about getting married, mothers. Don't make them feel that they are not wanted at home. Have enough intelligence to realize that unless a girl makes the very best sort of a marriage, unless she finds a good man whom she loves and respects and who loves, and respects her, she is a thousand times better off single than she would be married. Have your girls taught some gainful occupation at which they can be self-supporting, and not be a burden on you, and then keep your hands off the marrying proposition. You will not need to urge that on them when Mr. Right comes along.—New York Evening Post. Domestic Vices As a steam pipe that bubblebth, as a riveting machine across the street; as a vacuum cleaner in the hall, so is a woman with a chattering tongue.

Maple St. Nantucket, Massachusetts Fate of Red Indians Should Be a Warning to Negroes Pathetic Tale of Our Red Brother Who Has Gone Down the Western Incline of the World To the Editor of the Women's Bag To the Editor of the *Woman's Page*: While perusing an old book of orations, I came across Sprague's Indian speech, which I thought would interest the readers of our paper. It shows the simple trusting character of the Red Indian, who originally owner North America, and how his pale faced brother preyed on him, until the red man is almost exterminated. We, as Nexroes, scattered all over the world should be warned, and redeem Africa before she suffers a similar fate. The hands of the oppressor are not closing around our dear motherland. Rouse yourselves, black men, and rally to Africa. The following is the Indian speech: "Brother: We have heard you talk as from the lips of our father, the great white chief at Washington, and my people have called upon me to speak to you. The red man has no books, and when he wishes to make known his views, like his father before him, he speaks from his mouth. He is afraid of writing. When he speaks he knows what he says; the Great Spirit hears him. Writing: is the invention of the pale faces; it gives birth to error and to teuds. The Great Spirit talks—he hear him in the thunder in the rushing winds, and the mighty waters—but he never writes. Brother: When you were young we were strong; we fought by your side; but our arms are now broken. You have grown large. My people have become small. "Brother: My voice is weak; you can scarcely hear me; it is not the shout of the warrior, but the wait of an infant. I have lost it in the mourning over the misfortunes of my people. These are their graves, and in those aged pines you hear the ghosts of the departed. Their ashes are here, and we have been left to protect them. Our warriors are nearly all gone to the far country west; but here are our dead. Shall we go, too, and give their bones to the wolves? "Brother: Two sleeps have passed since we heard you talk. We have slept upon it. You ask us to leave our country, and tell us it is our Father's wish. We would not desire to displease our Father. We respect him, and so, his child. But the Choctaw always thinks. We want time to answer." "Brother: Our hearts are full. Twelve winters ago our chiefs sold our country. 'Every warrior that you see here was opposed to the treaty. If the dead could have been counted it could never have been made; but alas, though they stood around, they could not be seen or heard. Their tears came in the rain drops, and their voices in the walling wind, but the pale faces knew it not, and our land was taken away. "Brother: We do not 'complain.

I sincerely hope that all is well and all are rejoicing in the alms and objects of the association. To you at this, the opening of the new year, as friends and fellow workers in the fight for Africa's redemption, may I say to you that it is expected that you will stand like brave soldiers during this year which is fast opening, so full of possibilities, so rich with promises, so radiant with hope and so full of inspiration, so that, we might play our part-like men unfinchingly 'in making it the greatest year in the annals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The U. N. L. A. needs the financial support of each and every Negro the world over, so that we might be able to lay a proper foundation on the great continent of Africa upon which the future generations, shall build. It is no use for some of us to remain as drones and wishing the U. N. L. A. success. We should all buckle down and make it a success, because if the U. N. L. A. goes up all Negroes go with it, and if the U. N. L. A. goes down all Negroes go with it. It is quite time that we as Negroes understand that we are not living in an age of sentiment, we are not living in an age of emotion; we are living in an age of material truth an age of practical achievement. We cannot get things done by talking, we cannot get things done by writing about them, we cannot get things done by begging others; we have to get down to business and do things for ourselves, because the world in which we live has but very little sympathy. This world is selfish. As it is with the individuals, so it is with the nations; so let us as members of this great Negro family buckle down and demonstrate to the world that we are men, and as men we are going to play our part. We cannot always depend on the good-will of the other fellow for his job because the time is not far when there won't be enough jobs for his own kith and kin; then what will poor Negroes do if we fail to organize our forces industrially? Therefore, my father, I beseech you to purge your souls from petty jealousies, from malice, from hate, and from everything that will impede the onward march of this great race of which we are a part. Let us endeavor more than ever for this new year to stick more solidly to the U. N. L. A. It is quite true that there is a little setback with the colonization program through the disloyalty of some of the Liberian officials; yet that should not discourage us, because territorial power is good, because no race or nation is safe without a government. We can develop ourselves industrially and commercially, such as the Jews have maintained throughout the world for centuries, although without territory and without sovereign or national power. Still keep up the fight; be loyal and true to your colors. We shall see the travail of our labor and be satisfied. Let the new year 1925 be a banner year for the Tampoco division of the U. N. L. A.

To the Editor of The Negro World: I take pleasure in stating that the Negro population of this institution is 100 per cent. Garvey-ized in spirit. This time last year we were having conflict with our fellow inmates who thought they could mistreat individuals at leisure; but to their surprise and dismay they learned something they still remember very well as a lesson. On the first day of January, 1925, we were offered a treat to hear and see the performance of an outside vaudeville show that comes only once a year, but it seems that fate chose this day for the Negroes of San Quentin to display their ability to forfeit their pleasure in a body; to uphold a principle, to uphold honor, to demonstrate they are tired; yes, very tired, of forever being the goat every time in everything. The trouble started when our colored or segregated section of the dining room was chosen as the ideal place to entertain. Results—we would have the choice of seats of the institution to the disadvantage, of the other sections, which are far away to the side and rear. We were told to break up our special line and get in line with our white brothers, to our surprise. Unquestionably we have some white brothers who are men, and have proven it. What's more, we don't care whom we line up with. Negroes nowadays are very inquisitive and like to ask many questions concerning anything that has a catch in it which may affect him. At once the question arose. Why do our white brothers refuse to cat beside us during the week but were making arrangements, to be the first ones into our section on this special occasion? The question was soon over the institution. The guards did not like it. Soon two men were pulled from the front of the line because they protested. Of course, a little showing off was done but nothing obvious, although it created a very indignant frame of mind among the inmates of both races because I personally heard some white fellows make remarks of disgust which I dare not put in writing. After such an act, which was a direct insult to the Negro race, the men were so disgusted that a few got out of line and said they did not care to go to the show after all. In a minute dozens more were coming out of line and formed a body in the middle of the yard. After a short debate we decided not to go to the show at all in the meantime the other inmates were filing into the show. We then had the guard to ourselves. The captain of the guards came over to investigate. A spokesman thoroughly explained the matter. The captain said it was not right for the guards to act in such a manner. When two members of the Board of Pardons camp through they were informed of the act, and we feel assured that the matter will be given due attention. The inmates respect those gentlemen for the good they have accomplished in changing conditions of the institution. The united spirit displayed by Negroes in an orderly way this day will be remembered a long time. It is the talk of the institution. Everybody was surprised that such a majority of Negroes would do such a thing in sympathy with their own kins. I must admit we were a little bit surprised ourselves. We had a couple of Negro Worlds which arrived the night before and some other Negro literature. Many stood in groups, debating race conditions and the surest remedy. I learn that we have some real thinkers. Thanks to the Almighty, we are getting ready to put it over. JAMES ALLEN DAVIS, San Quentin, Calif. To the Editor of The Negro World: Utopias and any other plan of making men equal will never stand the test. If today you should place the same opportunity before two men who are equals what would be the result? Suppose two men to be equals at night and that one rises at six while the other sleeps until nine. What becomes of your levelling? Nature secures advance, not by the reduction of all to a common level but by the encouragement and concoction of what is best. Those were some of the questions that I tried to find answers to. They caused much thought and meditation. In whatever direction I stretched forth my hand for some tangible result always was it made manifest that the genius mind exemplified these deep truths. Men of genius are unmistakable guide posts where history records man's passage from the beginning to the end of world life. Men of genius are snow-covered peaks rising above the foothills covered by the submerged multitude. Thought is power. Again and again declare this great truth. Believe in dream it go forth and carry it into action. This paragraph appeals to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our matchless leader. May God continue to add his blessings to his work until Africa is redeemed and four hundred millions of us are freed. Membership Striving to Keep Alive the Spirit and Help the Association Would you kindly grant space in your most valuable paper to Diviaglia No. 34 of Puerto Barrios, Guatemala. There are a few faithful ones who are still holding on through thick and thin, calm or storm, bearing the brunt of the moral battle, which is now going on against the Universal Negro Improvement Association in almost every land. Here in Puerto Barrios we try in every way to do something which will assist us financially so that we may be able to give assistance to the efforts put forth, by the executives and the parent body. Some time ago we launched a movement to collect what money we could so as to present to the Black Cross T. and N. Co. a gift. We have succeeded in sending to save a part of what has been collected, also a letter requesting that said letter was to be published in your paper. The Negro World. We have an acknowledgment of the receipt of the money forwarded, but have not had the pleasure as yet of seeing the publication of the letter—we are hoping that some will appear at an early date. We have a club known as the U. N. I. A. Sporting Club, which offers to make entertainments, etc., of which the division should receive two-thirds, of our net profits, the club keeping one-third, and in the event of the dissolution of the club, whatever money he in the club's treasury shall be turned over as the property of our Division. No. 34. We inaugurated our first dance, which was not a great financial success (although a social one), but we made something so that *n* few dollars were turned over to the treasury of Division No. 34. During this Christmas season we prepared to have made a grander affair and sorry to say that it would have been a financial success if some of the race had not gone speaking against our end-users, doubling the good intentions of the leaders of the club, saying that certain officers were enhancing their own benefit instead of looking for any good for the association. We, the officers of the U. N. I. A. Sporting Club, beg to declare that as we have always been foremost in the right for all which the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands, we will always stand by God's help until we reign our places. We fear not the doings of the careless many, but will stand over, though few, with our faces to the foe, not giving one inch of our moral ground until we can with honor lay down this work to others who may be more worthy than ourselves. The U. N. I. A. Sporting Club hopes that those who had their talk will be convinced that they were doing harm to the race and its cause if hot to themselves, and also bog to state that we will still continue our intentions so as to help the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Cross Trading and Navigation Company. The club sends greetings to the Negro World and its thousands of readers, wishing all a happy and prosperous year 1925, and greater success to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in all its aims.

And it might be added that this play is the most sensational and most powerful of Shita-author's work. The scene of "Desire Under the Elms" is a New England farm house in the year 1548. The whole house is shown on the stage and the action changed from one room to another as the conflict wages between the farmer and his son for the possession of the rocky, New England farm. Suddenly the old farmer marries a young wife. She also hopes to get possession of the farm, but when she falls in love with her stepson and has a baby by him the action is complicated until the final denouement ends in a grim and clashing tragedy. The setting of the play is novel. In the first place it is unusual to have a full sized house shown on the stage, with a fence and a yard about it. Then when the action changes to an interior the side of the house nearest the audience is simply removed, thus showing sometimes a kitchen, or a parlor, or the bedrooms upstairs. Sometimes several of the rooms are shown once, and in every instance the changes of scene are made without any long stage walt. Walter Huston, who first attracted attention by his work in the leading role in "Mr. Pitt," plays the old farmer, bringing out every phase of the old New England Puritan in all its harshness and most unlovely aspects. Mary Morrell, best known hereafter by her performance as "Gleitrude" in "Fashion," plays the reheating woman who digs falls in love with her steward, whom she has been planning to defraud. And Charles Ellis plays the part of the joy, who, finally, when his child is murdered by the woman he thought loyal him, turns her over to the police, only to repent a few minutes later and accompany her to prison. In short, in "Desire Under the Elms," which is now approaching its hundredth performance at the Earl Carroll Theatre, O'Brien actually as well as in the acency strips away the fourth wall of life. president Philadelphia; Real Estate Board, representing Central Section; Walter H.

In addition to this array of talent, there will be Sam Wooding and his sensational jazz band, formerly with Florence Mills in the Plantation Revue which played the Lafayette a few months ago. Those of you who saw Florence then know, the kind of music those boys furnish. We were informed by Mr. Lyons that after their engagement at the Lafayette they will sail for Europe, stopping at London, Paris and Berlin.

The Gland That Causes Men To Get Up at Night The gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a notorious trouble maker. It is estimated that sixty-five out of every 100 men post forty, and many under that age, have prostate trouble; which, if unhooked, often leads to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washer. Naturally, when the bladder becomes inflamed by polish which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation appears to the prostate. As the gland swells, it closes the neck of the bladder, making urination difficult and painful and causing pains in the back, head and legs. An easy way to treat these annoying and dangerous conditions is to take one or two renex pills after each meal. The renex formula has been victorious in thousands of such cases. One authority says it also has a valuable touch effect. Anybody wishing to prove the value of the formula can get it full-size, two-dollar treatment of the pills under a money-back guarantee by sending the attached coupon to the address given therein.

Members and friends are doing all in their power to give their loyal support to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The religious part of the meeting was conducted by Mr. Plunkett, acting chaplain, who chose as his subject for the evening, "Journey of the Children of Israel to the Land of Promise."

The officers and members of the Banes division take this means of extending to the members of the Editorial Staff of the Negro World, the season's greetings. This division also takes great pleasure in reporting for the encouragement of our fellow-members everywhere, that we are still doing our bit in the interest of the cause that has become so dear to us. We as new Negroes are prompted to rejoice at this time of the year because of the fact, that Christ was sent as a gift to this sin-cursed world, making it possible for us to secure forgiveness from our God and Father. We must also be thankful for a leader like our president, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who has the future of the Negro Race at heart. Therefore let us all lift eyes of gratitude to this man who has proven that he is the God-appointed deliverer of this suffering and enshrined Negro Race. On Sunday, December the 14th, this division held a grand mass meeting at 6:30 p.m. The president presided over the meeting. The chaplain Mr. C. Clarke, conducted the religious part of the meeting in the usual manner after which he introduced the chairman of the evening. The President General's message was read and the president, Mr. A.

The activities of the New York Local on the threshold of the year are very encouraging, and the outlook for 1928 is very rosy. One of our distinguished visitors was Mr. Lauchland Henry of Boston; the famous baritone, who gives promise of developing a baritone voice of rare quality. On Sunday night, January 4, 1925, Mr. Henry, accompanied by Mrs. Frazer Robinson, sang with consummate ease "Recitative" and "Arl" from the "Messiah." We are pleased to announce that Mr. Henry will give a recital at Liberty Hall about the middle of February. The Liberty Hall choir was at its first on Sunday night when it rendered two anthems, "Arise, Shine for the Light is Come" and "Gloria in Excelsis." The members of this division are very proud of the choir, which in indubitably the premier Universal Negro Improvement Association choir in the United States of America. Our reorganization band is par excellence the leading Universal Negro Improvement Band in this country and is forging ahead by deeps and bounds. On Monday, January 2, a large and enthusiastic crowd listened to a masterly speech by the president general, who was followed by Dr. Martin-Dhow of Sierra Leone, West Africa. In the course of a highly interesting speech Dr. Martin-Dhow pointed out that during the dark period of the nineteenth century—dark from a Negro viewpoint, trained and willing West Indian collars were constantly used by the English to keep down the Negro in West Africa. It was but poetic justice, therefore, that in this enlightenment century a dauntless West Indian should come forward as protagonist of African rebellion. Dr. Martin-Dhow, who is a medical student in one of our universities, will shortly proceed to Harvard University to complete his medical studies. Other speakers of the evening were Mr. G.A. Weston and Mr. Samuel of the 62nd Street Division. On Wednesday night, January 7, our auditorium was comfortably filled and we were treated to splendid addresses by Mrs. Garvey, Lady Heleney Vinton Flavus and Mr. Weston. On Thursday night, January 8, the Universal Negro Improvement Association Band gave its first band concert and membership dance, which will be held at Liberty Hall every Thursday hereafter. The following selections were remanded by the band under the direction of Mr. W. W. Hassell; Song, "America"; "Connecticut March"; "Calif of Badagad"; Overlure; church organ; "The Elves," overture; "Sunny South"; Stabat Mater March, and the "Ethiopian National Anthem." The auxilaries are all making splendid progress, each auxiliary doing its utmost to outshine the others. The officers and members of the Juvenile Corps desire, through this medium, to thank the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia for the hospitality shown them during Yuletide. E. STREAT, Reporter.

C'est pourquoi nous, de la Universal Négro Improvement Association, faisons un appel au sentiment, a l'aime, et nous sera-t-il permis de dire à l'intelligence de tous les noirs du monde. Contondus comme nous le sommes dans cette civilisation occidentale, nous avons laissé s'engendrer parmi nous une haime et une rivalité qui ont occasionné notre ruine tant économique que raciale. En Amérique, nous nous sommes divisés pour former des groupes qui s'antagonisent; dans les Grandes Antilles nous avons fait de mieux. Quand ce n'est pas une guerre de caste qui se livre dans nos rangs, c'est une guerre de couleur, de paroisse, de localité, d'origine, soit nationale, soit insulaire. Quelle que fut le genre de guerre que nous nous livrions, le fait constant demeure que rien n'a été néglige de ce qui pouvait contribuer à nous désunir et coopérer que nous puissions nous solidariser en vue de la réalisation d'un commun espoir et d'aspirations communes. Notre désir est d'effectuer un changement d'attitude au cours de cette année 1925; et c'est dans ce but que nous en appellons à tout homme de couleur résidant dans ce États-Unis d'Amérique, dans les Antilles, dans l'Amérique du Centre et du Sud et en Afrique la mère-patrie. Si nous devons atteindre les cines, si nous devons surmonter les obstacles qui nous barre la voie du Progrès, il nous faut l'intention et d'action. Sous ce rapport nous ne pouvons mieux faire que de suivre l'exemple des races blanches qui surent lutter de concert contre l'envahissement des hordes asiatiques. Il est en notre pouvoir d'assumer une part dans la solution des problèmes de la civilisation et, notamment, celui de la fraternité humaine. L'objet de la Universal Improvement Association n'est pas de lutter contre les autres races ou peuples; mais de travailler à l'avancement général de la race noire et au développement de la grande fraternité humaine. Nul, fut-il blanc, jaune ou noir, ne saurait être raisonnablement oppose à ce programme, car en sa réalisation réside le salut du monde. En ce qui concerne notre localité propre, nous mettons même plus d'insistence dans la prière que nous adressons aux membres de la race mettre une fin à la campagne d'antagonisme et d'opposition ouverte que nous nous livrons. Rappelons-nous que dans la mesure que nous saurons nous solidariser, dans cette mesure-là seulement pourrons-nous avancer. N'ayons plus les uns pour les autres, ni esprit de malice ou de mechancête; ni esprit de haine ou de vengeance. Nous sommes tous les enfans d'un même père; soyons donc fraternellement unis. Cet appel à l'union, à la concorde, ne fut-elle qu'apparente, je l'adresse pas seulement à la race en générale, mais à tous les membres de l'U. N. I. A., actifs ou autrement. Nous tenons à dire à ceux qui se sont détachés de nous, que nous ne leur gardons aucune rancune. Cela nous serait impossible puisqu'ils nous sont encore unis par les liens d'une commune origine; nous les prions de croire que nous sommes animés des meilleurs sentiments à leur endroit et que nous formons des voeux pour leurs succès afin qu'ils deviennent de dignes citoyens et de leur pays de domicile et du monde en général. Il n'y a que cet esprit de tolérance et de bienveillance réciproques qui puisse faire de nous une race supérieure et unie; à la réalisation de cette fin, nous convions tous nos frères à coopérer.

Il jumeau, en conséquence, que les peuples civilisées devraient supplérer par la dame à leur défaut d'exercices physiques. La gran aspiración y mayor propósito de la Asociación Universal para el Adelantó de la Raza Negra en 1925, no abrigan maledicencia en contra de pueblos o razas; estriban en el enaltecimiento de la raza negra y en la expansión de la hermandad del hombre. Los fines que tal movimiento persigue no deben ser opuestos por blancos, negros o amarillos, pues por mediación de la práctica de su programa, el universo entero verá su salvación. En nuestro fuero interno hemos de poner enfasis en la apelación entre nosotros. A propos de moustiques Un Français, Mr Le Gendre, a fait savoir à l'Académie des Sciences qui a déconvert en Bretagne une race de moustiques qui n'entrent pas dans les demeures et ne pique pas l'homme. Un certain nombre de ces moustiques ayant été transporté en Charente, ils s'y sont partiaiment acclimatés sans perdre ces précieuses qualités. No debemos pasar por desapercibido el que todos somos hijos de un mismo padre espiritual; que cesen nuestras envidias, que cesen nuestras revanchas, que cesen nuestras intrigas. En nuestro vehemente deseo el manifestar a aquellos que, cual ovejas descariadas, se vean separados de nuestro rebaño, que no existe en manera alguna ningún sentimiento de enmistad para con ellos, por la justificada razón de que todos somos miembros de una misma raza. Para con ellos nuestros mejores deseos, en la esperanza de que culminen sus aspiraciones de progreso, haciendose meritorios a la consideración general y útiles ciudadanos no sólo para consigo mismos, sino para su pais y para su raza por igual. Le fait le plus interessant est qu'on a remarqué que depuis que ces moustiques non-piqueurs se sont multiples, les moustiques piqueurs qui infestaient cette région de la Charente ont notablement diminué de nombre. Il est probable que cette race la mange l'autre. Les cas de Mr. Boisneuf Mr Boisneuf, un des plus fermes défenseurs de la race au Parlement français, a subi des emmuis lors des dernières élections à la Guadeloupe. Il a accueilé d'exor lance des bombes. Sa fille, Mlle Boisneuf, s'est rendue à Paris pour diriger la défense de son père. El espiritu de confraternidad que se ha puesto de manifiesto entre los micimbros activos de nuestra organización, redundará como consecuencia directa en un mejoramiento de la actual condición de la raza. Creemos a ciencia cierta que como una raza y un factor de importancia en el concierto humano, debemos laborar en pro de nuestro adelanto y por ende en pro de nuestra felicidad. La activa competencia y la constante amenaza esfuerza a nuestra organización a promulgar entre nuestro elemento un entusiasmo, con la esperanza de crear en el espíritu de todos y cada uno la inclinación hacia un medio de acción práctico.

Editor Un deber nos manda como miembros Ejecutivos en activo servicio de este Capítulo Cubano Chater 71, que es regido por la gran Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Razar Negra, Liga de Comunidades Africanas que reside en la gran Ciudad de Nueva York, bajo la competent direccion del honorable Mascos Garvey, dirigirinos por medio de esta Circular, en este ultimo mes del año de 1924, a todos nuestros hermanos asociados, miembros activos y pasivos, con el desco de ponerlos al corriente de los movimientos habidos durante este año que fencece. No hemos querido empezar nuestra labor informativa sin antes cumplir con nuestros deberes de felicitarles el año próximo vendero y descarle a este conglomerado social una nueva era de prosperidad, salud, y buena suerte; y una paz duradera que sirva de bienestar y provecho a la colectividad humana. Eso lo descamos de todo corazón, y con la sinceridad que nos caracteriza, porque unicamente así podran cuatrocientos millones de negros que viven discinados por el universo gozar del gran adelanto social, educativo, religioso, político, industrial y comercial, problema de palpitante interes que lleva en via de solución la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Reunion armoniosa en pro de la hermandad universal del hombre—Nueva inspiración entre nuestro elemento en el presente año—Salida del primer vapor de la nueva corporación naviera—Camino hacia el exito—Tocando a las puertas del sentimiento humano—Cambio de actitud—Aligerando el peso de la civilización moderna—Contrarrestando el antagonismo La familia humana está posesionada universalmente de una nueva inspiración, y cooperativamente encarria la causa del progreso y del amor fraternal. De igual manera, los que formanos parte integrante de esta gran organización, recurrimos al sentimiento humano de nuestro elemento con el mismo propósito. Teniendo muy presente el que hemos entrado en la era, de un nuevo año, es nuestro mas ferviente anhelo no simplemente solidificar nuestro propio interés individual, sino que también el de la raza en general. Sin orientación fija, apesar de nuestro contacto con la civilización de este hemisferio occidental, hemos patrocinado una rivalidad y un odio entre nosotros mismos, los cuales han sido la causa tanto de nuestra ruina económica como de nuestra ruina social. En Norte America nos hemos dividio en diferentes grupos antagónicos, y lo mismo ha acontecido en al archipielago antillano; cuando este antagonismo no se manifiesta en una lucha de clases, se manifiesta en una lucha de color ó de nacionalidad, todo lo cual nos aleja mas y mas de la unificación de un mismo propósito y de un mismo destino. Eso lo esperamos y tenemos la firmisima seguridad que ha de ser un hecho, y sin temor a equivocar los auguramos toda vez que vemos que mientras una parte de nuestros hermanos de raza duermen confiados en que los que nada les importan hoy cliral sea sus destinos, ha de seguir luchando por el bienestar de ellos, otra parte numerosisima por cierto labora con lealtad, gran enteresa de miras y patriotismo por el bienestar de todos los oprimidos, marcha entusiasta hacia delante por el verdadero camino uncidos al carro de la civilización y lucha con fe poniendo al servicio de la causa todas sus actividades y el mejor desco con el fin de llegar por el esfuerzo propio a la meta de sus desces y aspiraciones. Por esa senda marchos, y esa misma tactica seguimos con fe perseverancia esperanzamos que en no lejamos tiempos, hemos de notar un cambio corpendente ya que se ha tenido en cuenta que el negro has sido una dependencia por muchos tiempos y a ellos es el resultado de su gran descontento y de su posición poco favorable en el universo. La masa consciente, esa parte de questros hermanos de raza que labora en pos de su adelanta y mejora han llegado al convenimiento de que por medio de su establecimiento industrial, conercial y educativo, podran adquirir su independencia, más respeto y consideración, conviviridose en un poder, reconciido. Unidos a ellos nos encontramos nosotros también, luchando con la misma fe, y gran suma de buena voluntad, laboramos, poniendo al servicio de esa causa incompatible que es la muestra, todo lo que posemos, en virilidad y patriotico interes por mejorar economicamente, pues tenemos el gran desco de no seguir siendo pesada carga ni gentes despreciadas. Nada nos detendra en nuestra marcha emprendida, toda vez que vemos como lo otra raza adelanta, y progresa y esto lo consiste porque lucha y a su solo esfuerzo se lo debe todo, vemos por ejemplo asiatico gentes no descrede en ninguna parte, elementos que en este país representaban el triste papel de neidigros; hoy figuran en primera línea representando su comercio, su industria y sus grandes centros sociales y económicos, ellos apesar que se quiera hacer alta desconsideración de todo eso que es virtud en el hombre que lucha para mejorar, son hoy por fuerza y razon más respetados y mejores atendidos, pues son los principales sostenedre del,erario público y eso ellos tiene gran transcendencia sobre todo en este hospitalario país. como han podido, esas gentes elevarse a ese nivel dando sentida satisfacción a sus deseos de mejoras para mejor vivir? Luchando, haciendo una labor conjunta y siendo constante defendiendo mutuamente. Eso lo podemos conseguir nosotros, ja que juchando con ese-fin estamos, solo un esfuarzo tenemos que hacer, y es variado de modo de pensar, haciendo ideal, teniendo fe en todo lo que emprendamos y perseverando en nuestras luchas llevando por norma la uniöh y el progreso. Estamos empeñados en que se opere un cambio completo sobre tal actitud desconcertante, y por ello nuestra apelación al elemento de la raza en los Estados Unidos, en las Antillas, en Centro y Sur America y en Africa. Si hemos de ascender ha de ser simplemente por-medio de un propósito y de una acción unida; en este particular debemos asimilarnos los ejemplos prácticos de los demas elementos, quienes como raza luchan unidos por su propio bien común, en contra de la gran competencia existente. Nosotros, dotados de las mismas facultades que cualquier otro ser humano, podemos de igual modo contribuir al dessarrollo del sentimiento de la confraternidad universal. Imitemos a nuestra hermanos en todo lo que sea virtud y demosno cuenta que ellos laboran siempre con el deseo de seguir sosteniendo a la cabina de la civilización no querienpoder dar el control que sobre todas las cosas tienen y se mantienen firmes sosteniendo las posiciones conquistas en la huchas giganteas en pretéritos tiempos, tratemos de apartarnos de todo lo que consideremos, defectinoso y denigrante que merne nuestro prestigio de gentes serias y consciente, si haimos causa común con estos puntos basicos; hemos de llegar a la meta de nuestras aspiraciones. Fijemos en nuestros hermagos del Norte America y notaremos el cambio tan radical, que han dado desde que han tomado como norma de conductas másimas, muy pronto hemos de admirar algo muy importante de esa labor, el dia 18 de Enero proxino saldrá una excursion rumbo a las Antillas y Centromerica, en nuestro palacio flotante, vapor de cinco mil y pico de toneladas comprado por nuestras propias gentes, lleva por nombre el de Booker T. Washington, el gran negro educador, que de esclavo se elevo a catedrático, el que pasa toda su vida enseñando a los de su clase proporciónandoles pan de la educación, por eso la Asociación Universal-paro el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, tuvo la feliz idea y muy plausible de tomar su nombre y bautizar el primer barco haciendo honor a su memoria para que siva de recuerdo a la posteridad. En ese vapor de la Empresa Naviera la Cruz Negra que en muy breve surcará los majes, vendrán un gran número de negros excursionistas todos elementos de solvencia económica que le facilia tener conposa posición y educación esmerada, ellos vienen en viaje de recreo y educación para compenetrarse de la verdadera labor de adelanto y de confraternidad de nuestro gran movimiento. Por cuyo motivo, el Capitulo Cubano 71 invita a todos sus miembros asociados, simpatizadores y clase neutra, a que se prepare prestando la ayuda proporciónar al Capitulo Cubano con el fin de hacer un gran recipiimiento a esos ilustres vij佬es en atención a la alta consideración y el merecido respeto a que son acreadores y en demostración a la cultura y civilización que posee este hospitalario pueblo. Eso lo esperamos ya que aquí nunca se la ha negado albergue ni hospitalidad a los que desde lejanas tierra han venido a nuestro terreno admirar lo que de grande y bello tiene este fertil y rico pais, y Cuba, la hermosa tierra antillana, esta vez no se mostrará remisa ante los que por primera vez la visitarán y Santiago nuestra cuna. la gran ciudad de los Maceo, Bandera, Moncada, Castillo Duany, y otros proceses de la libertad, esta vez correspondera como siempre la hecho quedando a la altura de los pueblos civilizados de la tierra. Por este medio llamamos la atención de nuestros asocirados y les suplican los primers en reponser presente a la llamada con dignidad y el fervor patriótico que siempre ha habido demostrar, que nos demos cuenta que debemos laborar sin demos y sostener nuestra causa que será nuestra salvación en el futuro, que no hay motivo para aprepararse; pues tenemos nuestra palabra empeñada y debemos estar prestos a gozar de los grandes beneficios, esta causa se emporará en no lejanos tiempos, que nuestro deber principales, como hombres organizados seguir laborando por la comodidad efectiva de nuestros pobres familias y prepararle un porvenir feliz a nuestros hijos, testamentar hermoso que hemos de dejar al hacer nuestro cambio de este mundo material. El campo bien abonado está los que a la dirección de este movimiento evolutivo, industrial, comercial y educativo; estamos, no nos hemos canados y sostenemos esta institución luchando con fe, entusiasmo por nuestras mejoras, con la conciencia firme de saber que no estamos arando en el mar; por eso pedimos la cooperación de todos y le reconduimos fe y nucha calma, procediendo con tácto y sentido práctico para triunfar. Jos momentos son propios ¡hagamos todo y cuanto podamos por obtener una radical mejora para asistir considerig mayor respeto y alta consideración y entonces la felicidad nos sonreira hastal el fin de nuestros vidas. Hermanos lucha por tu adelanto dentro del campo evolutivo, organiza tu industria, fomenta tu banco y habre tu comercio al mundo, serás considerado, atendido y respetado por tus semejantes.

Paris of the French Line for a tour of England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt and Palestine. Making up the party was Rev. M. J. 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Gianda Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy- six Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, decadent glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-aware feeling need not be decadent any longer since the disease it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth" often in a days' time, with Mando Forrest, who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "Gianda Awakened in One Day" is restored and "glands renewed in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake of Kansas City, Mo. "D. I. am 16, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I was an old, worn-out man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May this be the discovery of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Stando, will teach you how to seem to work like magic in its rain city on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, the matter what your age or occupation, the matter what you have tried, if you want to be a force of youth, we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.50 on 10 days' free trial.

Every Man Who Has Lost Force of You Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery Years Should Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Sarban mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in the internal glands and, if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and aliment such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervous weakness, premature senility, scrawny neck restlessness at night, pains, headache, dependency, etc., should disappear. taken in the privacy of the home.

Burrisk, president of the United Holiness Churches of America and pastor of the Bethlehem Church of Athina, Georgia; Rev. S. S. Jones, president of Oklahoma State Baptist Convention, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church; Muskogee, Oklahoma; Rev. J. O. Hodtrox, Finance committeeman of the A. M. E. church, Pastor Allen Temple, A. M. E. Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. It is, singularly significant that these men are making so extensive a trip in such a hurdious manner without expense to themselves. It is to be recalled that they earned the trips they have begun by successfully competing against three hundred and fifty other entrants in the Madium C. G. 32 Walker Manufacturing Company grand trip to the Holy Land contest, which closed last July. Their departure marked the beginning of a two month's trip to the above-named countries with every time of necessary expense being paid by the Walker Company. This context represented the first and largest of its kind ever attempted by Negro business and the departure of the winners is but the successful fulfillment of every obligation incident therein. With clear weather and a good voyage forecast these ministers should reach Haiti, France, Sunday, and will proceed to Paris, where they will be guided to Versailles, the battlefields, Rheims, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Montmarvale, Bols, Eiffel Tower, and other famous parts of that magnetic city. From Paris they will see Switzerland, Geneva, The Alps, Simpson Pass, and all. And then to Italy, sunny, and intensely picturesque. From Triesse the party will epoxe the Mediterranean Sea to Alexandria. Egypt, where their minds will doubtless begin to drift back through all history to the dim, previous ages of legend, and tradition. Arriving in Carlo by train from Alexandria, the party will visit the pyramids, Spina Mameluke, Tombis, The Nile, bazaar museums, gardens, etc. They will view here that city's strange meld of races, hear the bobble of tongues and learn, of the stirring commluging of the Oriental and Occidental, the ancient and the modern, in architecture, art, dress, customs, costumes and street shirts and pounds. And, then, on to Palestine, a land held in reverence and veneration by the entire Christian world. The party will have headquarters in Jerusalem, the "Holy City," with its narrow, crooked streets, but every foot of which is replete with Bible books. A complete program of sight-seeing awaits them. Trips will be made to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mount of Olives, the site of Calvary, the Pool of Shaam, the Garden of Gethsemane, Jehoshua, the Tomb of David, place of the Last SUPPER, Nazaréth, Bethlehem, Tiberius, and countless other spots, hallowed to all civilized men. They will spend two full weeks in Palestine, deepening their knowledge of the Holy Book and seeing at first hand what they have read about for years. Belohim, vengers of relics, money-changers, letter-writers, soldiered women, strange traders, handicraftsmen, and beggars galabo form the crowd they will view, and among taken in the privacy of the house.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 AND THE SUN which pass a seemingly unending chain of laden camels and asses ..... Leaving Jerusalem they will proceed to Haiti, Port Girid, and sail for Marseilles. After an extensive sight seeing tour of this wicked port-of-all-men they will proceed by train through incomparable vineyards and flower fields of France, arriving again in Paris. Then on to Calais, across the English Channel to Dover, and thence to London. In London, city of a thousand sights, they will visit Windsor and Hampton Court, the National Gallery, British Museum, the parks, monuments, ancient buildings, historic sights and see many of the monuments of that country's great men. From there they go by train to Southampton, where they will sail for the home-land. Without a doubt it is marvelous trim these pilgrims are making, filled with romance, adventure and education. Our race as a whole should be proud they are making so fine a trip, and one, intelligent men as they will bring back messages to our group that will prove educational, inspiring, and highly entertaining. Notebooks and cameras are among the effects of these men and our group may expect to be helped by the wonders they will see and the lectures they are preparing and will give upon their return. They were boyish, with hopes, keen with anxiety, and filled with anticipation of the new experiences ahead, the new joys they will have, and the great knowledge they will receive and be able to share with those they serve. Bon voyage parties honoring these men were numerous. Among them was a reception given Monday evening, January 5 by the New York Walker Agents' Union, at which a large part of its three thousand membership was present. A brilliant dinner was given by Madam Alicia Walker at Villa Lawore, her mansion at Irvington-on-Hudson. At both of these affairs many New York and out-of-town celebrities were present to meet the pilgrims and to wish them a pleasant trip. A host of admiring, cheerful friends waved bon-voie as the political Paris streamed away toward Europe and radiograms followed the pilgrims way out to sea. NEGRO SOLDIERS FOR INAUGURAL PARADE Dr. Scott Has Made the Suggestion and It Should Meet with Approval— The Black Troops Always Fought Nobly WASHINGTON, D.C. As a member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Executive Committee, which functioned during the recent presidential campaign, Dr. Emmett J. Scott has suggested to Hon. William M. Buffer, chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, and Hon. W. T. Galliher, chairman of the Imaginal Committee, that invitations he extended to four colored military organizations, of which the colored people of the United States are very proud, to be present and take part in the inaugural parade on March 4. Included in this number are the "Old Fifteenth" of New York, now known as the 360th Infantry; the Eighth Illinois Infantry; the First Illinois Battalion of the District of Columbia, and Company L of Massachusetts, the latter two of which were units of the 372d Regiment of Infantry overseas. Doctor Scott, states that he feels quite sure that the governors of the States of New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts will gladly co-operate in the matter of sending these particular military units to Washington for President Coolidge's inauguration. Colonel Arthur Little, commanding officer of the 368th Infantry, the "Old Fifteenth" of New York, has written a very cordial letter, in which he states that he has already formally applied through military channels for official designation to be among these military units of the organization to represent the State of New York at the inauguration.

THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OUR WOMEN MUST CO-OPERATE WITH OUR MEN, SURE But Our Men Must Also Co-operate with Our Women — Trading with Those Who Do Not Trade with Us Nothing of Advantage To the Editor of The Negro World: The fact that 90 per cent of our men are not earning enough to support their families cannot be denied, and that our business men pay more to the wholesale dealers than the white business man does is no secret. The horrible and unpathetic economic condition of our people and the black prices we are made to pay for the things we want and must have, is sufficient evidence. All of the men in the white race are not business men, nor will all of us be business men, but will the establishing of wholesale business houses by Negro business men, who manufacture nothing, under existing conditions, disadvantages and handleups in a country in which we are hopelessly outnumbered nine to one, and in which we have no voice in the framing of the laws which guide and protect wholesale and all other businesses, ameliorate conditions or remove the disadvantages and handleups? Will the ignoring of our businessmen by our women who understands as well conditions and the disadvantages and handleups under which they are compelled to labor, with no other motive than that of "saving" a penny or two in the interest of their individual families benefit the race? Surely, a woman who has not only the interest of her individual family, but also that of her race at heart, would not think so. The race must build itself and if it is to stand up its industrial, commercial, financial and political feet, our women must help. They must be prepared to make the same sacrifices that are being made by the women of other races. These conditions and handicaps are not fixed, they are portable and can, in advance, be removed, but they cannot be removed while Negro women continue to throw the materials with which they must be removed over the other side. Remove the trauma and no cure will be needed. We are not advocating a policy of non-co-operation, but let us imagine that all of the women of India say, "Our business men are selling their 'rice and dolit' too dear, and are not giving just-weight, we are going to buy our 'rice and dolit' from British business men." Would they ever be able to single themselves out of their present sorry condition? Wouldn't it be time to Mr. Candhi to give up the ghost or return to the bar in South Africa? Fortunately for India the women do not feel that way about it, and are prepared to buy from Indian business men at any cost, even at a sacrifice.

Pearl Street Department 130 New York rather than from those, from whom they can get the most for their money. We are all of us good Christians, but the one who will assist his greatest enemy in getting out of the sinking sands has yet to be born. We are living, in an age of greed and selfishness, not so much individual selfishness, but tracial selfishness, and unless our women help us in our struggles to survive as a race, we must all go down with the sands. Our women in New York, Boston and all over the world, for that matter, must feel as the women of India feels. They must cooperate with their own businessmen at any cost, without any fear of them becoming rich men, for if we are to get anywhere as a race, we must have in the race rich men, bankers and millionaires. And our men can become bankers afg millionaires by pursuing the same course as others have and are pursuing. Let us all retain our interest in our individual families, but let none of us forget or ignore the most urgent need of our downward race—love her kind faith in each other, unity and co-operation. All of us cannot serve the race in the same line, but we can all serve in our own way. J. MILTON BATSON. New York City. AS THE TWIG IS BENT THE TREE INCLINES From The Bulletin- Appeal No other word in the lexicon of any language has such a bearing upon human conduct as the wild habit. It may be classified as both good and bad — constructive and destructive. Three factors are potent in the formation of a habit, joe. Following the least resistance — the easy way — environment, emotionalism. All three, when applied to habit, show about the same thing as to orientational possibility and lack of will power. Yet, results may be either good or bad. The human animal is in character similar. By nature he is initiative. Mindley affords the least resistance.

Are You Hungry to Enjoy The Blessings of Youth Again? German Scientist Perfects Wonderful Discovery for Restoring the Power and Vitality of Youth. Every man or woman who has grown old "too soon" may need to strengthen and vitality as in the days of youth. An entirely successful German scientist, after years of research, has discovered the need for strength and vitality in blasting and developing the mysterious ENDOCRINE glands that affect practically all of the vital systems of the human body. Laboratory was so enchanted over the remarkable results reported by eminent physicians that they were able to all who realize that they are "too old" for their years and feel the need of a dependable refuge. The only tissue that can direct, affective action is called GLANOHEUM, comes in tablet form, its insperative and can be easily taken by anyone. GLANOHEUM has been amazed at the almost immediate results, frequently within two or three days, and are associated to feel the view and strength of youth so much so that GLANOHEUM is due to the method of combining the GLAND and incentive—it will have a positive or good influence in the formation of habits. The conversion is true when the environment is of a low order. Its effect will prove destructive. Emotionalism—to be emotional, that is inordinately emotional, with will power lacking as a balance, is as dangerous as a ship without a pilot or rudder—a derelict. Such a condition may be either harmless in a human being or harmful, as the easy may be. Then the emotions, weak willed people, or people utterly without any will power whatever, are greatly excited, and may be carried into a freazy of fervor, religious, political, or morb violence. They are subjects that compose the greedy body of followers of false leadership. They are unfortunate creatures of circumstant es; not really or intentionally bad at heart. They are called by affenst morens. Habits—good or bad—when once formed grow with tremendous predisposition. The danger that threatens society today is the social condition.
