HON. MARCUS GARVEY WARNS NEGROES AGAINST BIG CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO DESTROY THE U.N.I.A.
The Hon. Marcus Garvey sends greetings to the Negroes of the world and urges them to hold to the faith and give their full co-operation to the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He desires it to be borne in mind that, however loyal and enthusiastic the various units of this great organization are, our objective can only be attained by the closest harmony and co-operation between the various branches.
To weld the millions of our membership into one homogeneous whole has been and is the task of the Parent Body. The United States of America with its teeming millions would be a mere rabble were its destinies not directed and guided from central offices in Washington, D. C. So it is with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every division, branch and chapter must stand 100 per cent. behind the Parent Body and those placed in authority so that the full benefits of mass organization may be reaped and our great program be put over.
ENEMY FORCES BUSY
The enemy forces are concentrating their efforts upon destroying the great organization which has been built up among Negroes throughout the world. They feel that now or never must this be done. The great influence which the Universal Negro Improvement Ass'n wields has caused the enemies of Negro progress and achievement to be fearful of the potentialities of the awakened black man, who sees no obstacles that he will not overcome in order to reach full manhood status.
"It is because I fully realize the deep cunning and subtlety with which the destructive forces are working that I make a fervent appeal to the membership to redouble the efforts they are making to support this great organization and uncompromisingly uphold its principles." This is the Hon. Marcus Garvey's charge to his followers.
URGES THE MEMBERSHIP TO REDOUBLE THEIR EEFORTS TO HOLD UP THE BANNER OF THE RED, BLACK AND GREEN
SUPPORT THE PARENT BODY TO THE UTMOST SO THAT THE ASSOCIATION CAN PRESENT A SOLID FRONT TO THE ENEMY
THE NEGRO MUST RECOGNIZE THAT THERE LIES WITHIN HIM SOVEREIGN POWER AND THAT TO HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
to the Parent Body," he says, "and see that your obligations are met in full."
The following article from the "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey" is reproduced below for the careful consideration of Negroes the world over:
MAN. KNOW THYSELF
For man to know himself is for him to feel that for him there is no human master. For him Nature is his servant, and whatsoever he wills in Nature, that shall be his reward. If he wills to be a pigmy, a serf or a slave, that shall he be. If he wills to be a real man in possession of the things common to man, then he shall be his own sovereign.
When man fails to grasp his authority he sinks to the level of the lower animals, and whatsoever the real man bids him do, even as if it were of the lower animals, that much shall he do. If he says "go," he goes. If he says "come," he comes. By this command he performs the functions of life even as by a similar command the mule, the horse, the cow performs the will of their masters.
DEVELOP WILL
For the last four hundred years the Negro has been in the position of being commanded.
even as the lower animals are controlled. Our race has been without a will; without a purpose of its own, for all this length of time. Because of that we have developed few men who are able to understand the strenuousness of the age in which we live.
Where can we find in this race of ours real men, men of character, men of purpose, men of confidence, men of faith, men who really know themselves? I have come across so many weaklings who profess to be leaders, and in the test I have found them but the slaves of a nobler class. They perform the will of their masters without question.
NEVER GIVE UP
To me a man has no master but God. Man in his authority is a sovereign lord. As for the individual man, so of the individual race. This feeling makes man so courageous, so bold, as to make it impossible for his brother to intrude upon his rights. So few of us can understand what it takes to make a man—the man who will never say die; the man who will never give up; the man who will never depend upon others to do for him what he ought to do for himself; the man who will not blame God, who will not blame Nature, who will not blame Fate for his condition; but the man who will go out and make conditions to suit himself.
WITH DETERMINATION WE MUST RISE
Oh, how disgusting life becomes when on every hand you hear people (who bear your image, who bear your resemblance) telling you that they cannot make it, that Fate is against them, that they cannot get a chance. If 400,000, 000 Negroes can only get to know themselves, to know that in them is a sovereign power, is an authority that is absolute, then in the next twenty-four hours we would have a new race, we would have a nation, an empire—resurrected, not from the will of others to see us rise but from our own determination to rise, irrespective of what the world thinks.

THOUSANDS ATTEND GARVEY DAY CELEBRATION IN LIBERTY HALL
UNANIMOUSLY INDORSE TELEGRAM TO BE SENT TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE AND ATTORNEY-GENERAL SARGENT REQUESTING CLEMENY FOR MARCUS GARVEY—RESOLUTIONS TO BE FORWARDED TO MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY ARE ALSO ADOPTED
Sherrill Makes Able Address on "Garveyism and What It Teaches"—Says They Who Oppose the U. N. I. A. Do Not Understand It—U. N. I. A. Is an Organization Seeking to Bring About Race Unity and Solidarity—Is Teaching the Negro to Rid Himself of His Inferiority Complex
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE GIVES CORDIAL RECEPTION TO U. N. I. A. DELEGATION—GARVEY SENDS. TELEGRAM BIDDING MEMBERS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK—GREAT PATRIOTIC PROGRAM RENDERED
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, May 3.—Garvey Day celebrated in Liberty Hall today, was attended by thousands of followers and sympathizers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey. At the evening mass meeting fully seven thousand people packed the building and took a lively interest in all that transpired. A special musical program was arranged and creditably executed by the choir under the direction of Mrs. Weston, and the Universal Band under the direction of Prof. Wallace, after which the meeting unanimously endorsed two resolutions to be forwarded to certain members, of the judiciary of the United States praying for a favorable report on the petition for pardon for Hon. Marcus Garvey filed with the attorney-general and signed by hundreds of thousands of citizens of this country, and sanctioned the forwarding of a telegram to the President of the United States and to the attorney-general, requesting favorable consideration of the petition.
The resolution was then read by Hon. Geo Weston, chairman of the meeting, and inanimously adopted on motion of Hon. Pereival Burrows, seconded by Mr. Edward Holmes.
Another resolution also read by Mr. Weston, was unanimously adopted on motion of Mr. Burrows and seconded by Capt. Carrie Minor of the Women's Motor Corps.
The telegram which was dispatched to President Coolidge and to Attorney-General Sargent read as follows:
"Seven thousands Negroes of this city in mass meeting tonight greet you and pray that you favorably consider our petition for a pardon for our leader, Marcus Garvey."
Mr. Weston, after reading a telegram from Mr. Garvey, made a few remarks stressing the importance of carrying out the wishes of Mr. Garvey as an evidence of the loyalty of the members to him and their faith in his leadership. The appeal met with a very hearty response.
This being over, Hon. William Sherrill delivered the following speech:
GARVEYISM AND WHAT IT TEACHES
Hon William L. Sherrell, speaking on the subject "Garveyism and What It Teaches," said: "I wonder how many of us here tonight remember the first time we ever heard Marcos Garvey speak? I wonder how many of us here tonight remember how lifted up and turned around we were after we heard that first speech. I will never forget the first time I heard Marcos Garvey speak. I was then in the city of Baltimore working with a Negro think, and as is the custom of men in business, I joined everything in Baltimore, including the Universal Negro Improvement Association. At that time I did not know anything about the Universal Negro Improvement Association but what I had heard, but realizing that it was good business to be connected with all churches, lodges and everything else when you are in business. I joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
After being in the Universal Negro Association for a short time I was asked on Mr. Girvev's first visit to Baltimore after I had joined, to attend the meeting. I had some business to attend to that night and I went out and attended to my business and thought if I got there to hear the beginning of Mr. Girvev's speech, it was all right; if the speech was half over, it was all right; about all I was interested in was seeing the man. I had
heard Negro leaders speak before and I thought I knew just what Garvey was going to say before I got there. I had heard Kelly Miller and Dulois speak on the race question; I had heard Rogee Conklin Simmons and other big leaders speak on the race question and I knew before I heard Garvey that it was going to be the same thing I had heard all my life. When I got there that night the ball was packed and jammed—Negroes standing on the outside fighting to get in. I managed to get in when Mr. Garvey was about a third of the way into the speech. I was unable to get a seat. Mr. Garvey spoke for about an hour and a half and I stood all that time and it looked like just ten minutes to me.
I don't know how people feel when they get that old-time religion that makes you want to jump and scream and shout; but I want to say that when I heard Mr. Garvey that night I had a fair example of just how they felt when they got that old-time religion. His speech was so different—the program he brought was so much in the opposite of those speeches and those programs I had heard before, that, for an hour and a half I stood motionless—transfixed—completely astounded and amazed. For that hour and a half I did not know whether I was standing on the floor or in the air, or whether I was sitting down; and from that night on I realized that the Universal Negro Improvement Association brought the hope for which I had looked ever since I had been old enough to think independently on the
race question. (Applause)
I am sympathetic with those Negroes who are indifferent toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They simply do not understand I am confident of the fact that they are only indifferent toward the association because they do not understand it. I have so much faith in the race that I do not believe there is a Negro who has sunk so low—who is so devoid of race love and race pride that when he understands what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to do, will not line up with it heart and soul.
The U. N. I. A. Misunderstood
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is one of the most misunderstood organizations We have got in this country today among Negroes. I am talking along this line tonight because a lot of you people who are members of the association do not understand, but in Liberty Hall every Sunday night we have numbers of visitors who come (come of them) from out of town; to see the people at Liberty Hall and learn something about the organization; hence I am taking advantage of this opportunity on Guy's Day, to reiterate some of the old things you have been hearing Sunday night after Sunday night.
I said the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the most misunderstood organization in the country today.
This is largely so because an unjust criticism. Intelligence is slow to criticize that about which it knows little or nothing. Intelligent persons, if they do not know the facts on both sides of a question, are slow to pass an opinion. Yet the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been grossly wrogged by supposed intelligent Negro leaders expressing in their newspapers and from public platforms their opinions on the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the feasibility of its program, who knew absolutely nothing about it.
You know the colored man is about the only man you can get to talk gelbly about a thing he knows nothing about; he is always quick to give information about that thing on which he has no information. About the three hardest words for a colored man to say are "I don't know"; and in his effort to know all about everything he -many times knowingly lies because he thinks it an unparalleled sum to say "I don't know". What is the Universal Negro Improve-
Let us go over briefly (just for the benefit of the visitors) what in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Is it a church? No. Is it a new lodge? No. Is it a new social club on a large scale? No. Well, what is the Universal Negro Improvement Association? The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a great world-wide organization seeking to bring about in the race a unity and solidarity sufficiently strong enough to establish somewhere a power and a force strong enough to

protect Negroes everywhere. (Applause.) You will notice I said somewhere. I did not say especially in Africa, because I am talking now to the visitors here tonight, and those Negroes who are not acquainted with the Universal Negro Improvement Association are insulted right away when you start to talk to them about Africa. That is all that a large number of Negroes in this country have against the U. N. I. A. They like the principles all right; they tell you it is a good thing; Marcus Garvey is a great man, but "they haven't lost anything in Africa." And that is simply because the Negro has been wrongly educated as regards Africa. All that they have heard about Africa is that which we have been able in the past six years to get out of your minds; and that is that Africa is just simply a fever-pidden, country teeming with cannibals who are just willing to die in the bushes ready to gobble them up the moment they land. So while they are willing to contribute to the missionary box to carry the gospel over there, when you talk about going to Africa they tell you "we haven't lost anything in Africa," forgetting that the black man has lost everything that is rightfully his, in Africa, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes this and is now organizing the Negro in order that he may go back to Africa and find that which he has lost.
What has has Negro lost in Africa? He has lost his mankind, he has lost his independence; he has lost his ancestry; he has lost his traditions, his racial characteristics, his liberty and opportunity in Africa, and he has got to go back there to look for it before we can end it. (Applause.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization that is raising the cry "Africa for the Africans" in the same strain that we hear "India for the Indians," "Asia for the Asiatics," or "Ireland for the Irish." The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization that is willing to pay the same price for a free Africa that the Indian is willing to pay for an independent Indian; that the Irish have been willing to pay for an independent Ireland, or that the colonists were willing to pay for an independent America.
The Teachings of the U. N. I. A.
Now what does the "Universal Negro Improvement Association teach?" Here last week we had a group of white students who came to Liberty Hall. Every year we have a large group of whites who come special nights in Liberty Hall to hear what the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is. When these white students were here last week I was to speak to them but I had to go to Washington to attend to some matters in regard to Mr. Garvpy's parlor. Nevertheless one of the executive officers spoke to those white students. Do you know what they asked after they had heard that executive officer explain what the program of the U. N. I. A. was? After they had heard that officer tell how the Negro wanted independent colonies in Africa—how the Negro wanted to develop along his own lines and work out his destiny according to the dictates of his own conscience—the chairman of that body of students arose and said: "Mr. Chairman, you say the Negro wants to develop along his own lines and wants to develop his own culture. You cannot do that. Mr. Chairman, until the Negro has been rid of his inferiority complex."
The Negro Must Get Rid of Inferiority Complex
Do you know that is the crux of the whole situation? Do you know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot put over this program—that the Negro will never realize the ideal that Marcus Garvey brought until we are able to rid the Negro of his inferiority complex? And that is just the thing that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to do in the last six years.
What does Garveyism teach? In an effort of rid the Negro of his inferiority complex, Garveyism teaches the Negro that his black skin and his woolly hair is not something to be ashamed of, but something of which to be proud. Garveyism teaches the

Negro that all those men who have contributed to civilization and progress are not white, but that a large number of them are black and that our ancestors gave birth to civilization on the banks of the Nile. Garveyism teaches the Negro that he is made in God's image, and that if the God whom none of us have seen, has any color, it is a color similar to that we ourselves possess. And why does Garveyism teach that? Simply trying to rid the Negro of his inferiority complex; because as long as the Negro feels that all those who have achieved and contributed look like somebody else as long as the Negro feels that everything in heaven is white, that the angels are white, that Jesus is white and God is white, so long will the Negro assume the title of inferiority if not consciously, unconsciously, which will bring about the same effect, so far as our social progress is concerned.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches throughout the country, and throughout the world to all its divisions, that the Negro must put on his walks, the picture of black men, must put in the arms of his babies black dolls. I have got a little girl who is about four years old, and that child has never had in her arms a white doll; that child rocks a doll that looks likeige herself, looks into the face of a doll that is likeige herself, hugging that some day God will give me a baby like her baby doll. I wouldn't have to have some other color girl in her arms and have that same hope.
I am of the opinion that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to make it greater studies when it starts with the clothes giving them that superiority complex, because this old Negro has gone past a little too far. I am afraid. He has watched the other to how so long and warned to be like him so long that it is hard to Marcus Garvey or anybody else to change him now. Some of us have followed the old psychology of white supremacy so long until it matters not what kind of tea long may be bought, somehow or other we feel we are not on the right track when we follow long other lines.
Let us take the next thing. Garvey sun-trodden teach the Negro that he is just as good; that he is made of the same stuff as other people; to teach the Negro that what has been done in the world by other names and methods; the Negro of himself can do. I am sure there is nobody here tonight, whether he is a member of the Universal Negro improvement Association or not, will not agree, with that kind of teaching.
Let us go further. Garveyism in order to give the Negro a clearer vision of life, teaches the Negro that if he is to make any contribution to the world's progress—if he is going to make any advancement, he is going to have to do that himself and not depend upon somebody else. In order to give the Negro courage to have and work and struggle, Garveyism teaches the Negro that he must are to like and enjoy this world's goods. You know, the other fellow, whether he is in the Southland or in Africa—the moment he comes to enshrine this race, he brings to us that hallowed propaganda of the "sweet bye and bye, and gets our minds fixed on pearly gates and golden streets above while he robs our pockets down here. Many people have misunderstood the Universal improvement Association, and some have said that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is against the church and is against the preacher. That is not so. The Universal Negro Improvement Association simply says to the Negro minister and the Negro church, that in this day and time when the Negro is fighting so strenuously for a place in the sun, that there has got to be a correct interpretation placed on his Gospel.
The U. N. J. A. has nothing against the church, but we are simply telling the Negro that if he is going to enjoy golden streets and wear golden slippers or whatever they are up there, he has got to have some shoes on his feet down here. Gaughter and applause. Since Emancipation the Negro has spent his time, energy and money in preparing for his "mansions in the sky," and the fellow that has been pointing him to the mansions in the sky has been riding around in his

at the same time telling the Nexto,
"You will be in it when you get up

Nexto has been sinning "In the sweet

But the current Nexto improvement
Association this year saying in the
black man, "If you try to play your

We rely on the Nexto can serve God

he can serve his God as well if he

The Universal Negro Improvement Association then points to Negroes to a place in the same here, for we are to that if the black man plays his part in heaven will come of ease. Then finally the Universal Negro Improvement Association says that in the world to this purpose it is necessary to have the future of your children and must be loved and do the work which will compel the present of the world to the world Negro own possession and as we will power. The reason we tell the Negro to begin to build in Africa is because we believe Africa offers him his greatest opportunity in this digression. The Universal Negro Improvement Association declares that the woman is the most important country he has to lay with, because it is in all the experience of man that we believe Africa will allow us to have the power to help us. Hence the purpose is to advocate for the Negro improvement. We are collecting the information that the Negro improvement will be the best way for the Negro improvement.
First and we had the occasion to go to Washington. I saw an account of the Nazi troops that the delegation which went to Washington last week got not so the President. These people must undoubtedly test well because they he so easily. The American Navy Improvement Association sent at Washington to Washington for the response to interning the President on the Labor question and other matters, and I want to say that the delegation was received cordially by the President. We arrived there at 10:30, and got in touch with the White House and were told by the secretary to the President that the President was expecting us at 12:30. When we arrived at the White House at 12:30 there were hundreds of white people who had come down from the county in which the President had to pass through and shake hands with them. There were six of us in the delegation including Mrs. Garvey, each of us having a petition. We informed the President of our mission and he immediately stopped and allowed us to go in. We were not by the secretary, who ushered into his office and after we had remained for a moment or so, we were informed that the President was ready to receive us. We walked in and were each introduced to the President. He immediately walked briskly from behind his desk, shook the hands of each and every one and gave us an opportunity to present our cause. I happened to be chairman of the delegation, and I made the speech; after we had finished the President also made his speech of acceptance. After he had asked one or two questions and we had given answers, we expressed our desire to have him look into certain matters, we passed out and the white people continued their procession. We went from there to the attorney general's office and were also received; then we met other dignitaries in Washington with whom we took up important business. So those that say, we did not see the President, please tell them to investigate again.

LETS PUT IT OVER
LOYALTY TQ MR. GARVEY MOST STRIKING THING IN RACE HISTORY
WE think there will be no difference of opinion among unbiased people that the loyalty of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to Hon. Marcus Garvey, the President-General, is one of the most striking things in race history. The editor of The Negro World is in a position to judge of this matter because he has been actively engaged in race journalism for forty-five years and has known every leader of the race in America and in other lands during that time, personally by reputation, from Frederick Douglass to Marcus Garvey. None of them had the magnetic personality of Mr. Garvey; none of them could draw men to him and hold them as he. None of them had a world-embracing slogan that appealed to the Negro people everywhere. It remained for Mr. Garvey to touch the main-springs of the sleeping hopes and ambitions of the Negro people and to draw them to him as the magnet draws the needle.
We receive in the offices of The Negro World expressions of loyalty to Mr. Garvey from every quarter of the globe where there are Negroes, and those who write speak not only for themselves but for the brethren associated with them. It makes for mass sentiment, which is healthy reaction to high and noble race hopes and aspirations. No other man of the race could have done the work Mr. Garvey has done, because the times were not ripe for the man his work. When they were ripe he came, he saw, he conquered, Caesar did, before he crossed the Rubicon. That is generally acknowledged by friends and foes alike.
And that leads us to say emphatically that a great, many people who send us articles do Mr. Garvey a very questionable service by decrying the work other leaders of the race have done in the effort to magnify the work Mr. Garvey has done. That is not necessary: it is a disservice. Mr. Garvey does not need it. Mr. Garvey could not have done the splendid work that Richard Allen, Daniel Alexander Payne, Samuel Ringgold Ward, Frederick Douglass and Cooker T. Washington did, any more than they could have done Mr. Garvey's work. Each was shaped for his work in his time and place and they constitute, as the Poet Pope has said, "links in one suspendous chain." They built their own monuments in their good works, and it is for us to recognize, this fact and to glory in the splendid work they did and profit by their example. Each has his own place in race history and the places "differ as the stars in glory."
Whatever a person of the race has done that was necessary and worth doing is a race asset; it belongs to the race, it helps to give the race character and place in the big world of affairs, where men are rated by their good works and not by their much talk. And when we say that Marcus Gatvey has wrought a great and lasting work for the race, and that he has brought about a loyalty to himself of millions of aspiring souls, which is the most striking thing in race history, we do not leave anything more in praise of him to be said, and we do not say it at the expense of others but to the everlasting credit of Marcus Gatvey.
AFRICA SEETHING WITH UNREST
WHEN people who are wronged and outraged suffer and endure without protest, without an effort to remedy them, after a long time they forget that they have any rights at all that others should respect, and they sink into a living death from which there is no resurrection. The Indian races of the Americas were not noted for their intellectuality; they seem to have possessed a very low order of it; and they were not given to industrial pursuits, leaving those largely to their women; the men were warriors and huntmen, a sort of people who do not get very far in the world of progress; but the American Indians refused to serve the white man. They had manhood enough to stand out against that. And they would not allow white men to wrong them without seeking to avenge the wrong. Those are splendid qualities. It made the white man despise the Indian but respect his courage and his determination to strike back when struck.
The African tribes, in contact with the white man, have not always accepted his high hand and long arm methods; he has often resented these and sought to avenge himself in bloody wars, the most notable of which were those of the Zulus and Ashantis against the British. But, for the most part, the African tribes have accepted the white man in good faith and allowed him to steal their lands and labor by diplomacy and downnight rogery. They did not discover their error until it was too late to correct it. Massed troops, drilled for war to the minute, with machine guns and airplanes, are not easy means for people to go up against who have none of these weapons of warfare. It is on this account today that Europeans have a strengthened upon the millions of people of Asia and Africa that it is difficult for them to throw off.
But Africa is waking up. The world knows that. It also knows that Marcos Curvey and the Universal Improvement Association have quoted a contention, "Africa for the Africans," which thirstens the white man's supremacy in Asia and Africa, a contention which did not fit themselves. Even the whites are discontented with British
nule, and Premier Hertzog, in addressing the National Assembly, advised against the movement to separate the Union of South Africa from the British Crown. The natives are aroused in the union over the abuses heaped upon them, as we showed in the last issue of The Negro World, and the French and the Spaniards have their hands full in dealing with the Africans and Arabs of northern Africa. The tribesmen all over Africa have caught the spirit of unrest and protest. That is the first necessary thing, to getting a correction of wrongs and abuses.

It is the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to keep alive the agitation for Africa for the Africans, and for some self-determination in their social, civil and economic values under whatever flag their citizenship may for the time being registered. And it is useless to ask the white man for anything that is yours. If he had intended to give it back to you he would not have taken it from you. Fight for what is yours. Fight as the white man fights, but
LET US MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PLACES WHERE WE ARE
In judge from the character of the articles we have been receiving in the offices of The Negro World lately that a large section of the membership are disposed to despise the opportunities in the places where they are, and to spend a lot of time jawing back at imaginary enemies who are trying to do something for the betterment of race conditions, but who do not believe in doing so in the way that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has approved. They have their way and we have ours, but the charitable view is that they are striving, as we are, to better the fortunes of the race in one direction and other. When these agencies do not openly antagonize the aims and work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association it is the business of our members, when they do not lead in community work, to help those who are trying to lead, but it is the business of our members to lead. If a store, a school, a church, is needed, it is the business of our members to lead in the effort to get what is wanted. And we should have one or more stores wherever there are a hundred or more of us in one place, and when we have enough stores and enough industrialism to warrant it in such communities, we should have our own bank.
A home in Africa is the objective of the larger part of the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but that is a matter which we can only have in the future by what we do in the present. If we are no better prepared to hustle for ourselves in Africa than most of us are today everywhere, we should not be as well off in Africa as we are where we now are. African natives have now all of the ignorance and poverty that they can stand for. "They need our help; they are in no position to help us. If we go to Africa without knowing how to buy and sell among ourselves, without any mechanical and agricultural knowledge, without knowing how to build houses, and without knowing a diamond from a pebble, or a gold nugget from a lump of hardened yellow sand, we shall take them the same sort of ignorance they now have and which enables the white man to grow rich at their expense.
We have got to better our own condition, social, civil and economic, before we can help the African to better his; and we have got to make our development, as the Jews do, in the countries where we are now scattered, and we must help to create the spirit of independence and manliness and self-reliance among the natives by our precept and example and by a systematic propaganda among them at home for more and more useful education in order to determine what are and what are not things of value which the world wants and will buy from any one who has them.
Don't wait for the white man to clean up and improve the segregated districts in which you live. He does not wait for you to do it or him, he does it himself as a matter of personal pride and profit. Have plenty of flowers in your front yard, with a well cultivated truck garden in the rear, and a little barnyard full of industrious chickens, that work for you while you sleep, and have a fine pig in the rear of it all to eat the scraps that come from the kitchen and grow fat on against "hog killing time," in the Christmas days.
Not busy, you, where you are.
CHILD MARRIAGES AND THE HOME LIFE
ful work in making a comprehensive investigation of the question of child marriages in the United States. The practice was found to be more general than was supposed, as it has been easy for parents and relatives to connive at such unions, while license officers have not always serutinized too closely—the ages given by the applicants. The investigations of the Foundation should lead to the reforms necessary to safeguard the home life of the nation. Successfully, immature marriages can result in nothing but stunted children and dwarfed men and women. Carried far enough race suicide could easily be the outcome. A strong, vigorous man growth as a national or race type requires a strong, vigorous child growth. We can't have this unless we protect childhood from sexual abuses until it can in some measure protect itself.
It may be accepted as in some sort true that the children of this generation are wiser than their great grandparents in all matters of sex, and that the freedom with which the sexes mingle, which was unknown to the purists of another generation, has not developed the immoral conditions so freely predicted. Girls have become wiser and boys have grown more thoughtful, while the grownups have a broader outlook upon life than in the old days when Puritanic rules governed and made life miserable for the young. Let us hope that humanity is growing wiser and more moral all of the time, even when there are indications that make us doubt.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
Dear Mr. Fortuner. In the issue of
April 25, of the New York Age, there
is a rather considerable editorial
assault, upon the selection of judges
in Opportunity's contest. Inasmuch as
this editorial mentions you, I am
placing in your hands a statement which I
first intended to use as a reply, but
later changed my mind. This change
of plana was made because I did not
wish to make a controversial issue of a
subject which involved personalities
which I have always admired and
respected, and because, I did not see that
the criticism which involved your name
had anything to do with the objectives
of the contest in which, I believe, you
as well as all forward-looking Negroes
are as interested as we.
STATEMENT
The New York Age in the leading editorial of its issue of April 25, criticizes Opportunity's selection of judges, insisting that because half of the judges were not colored, this journal evidences a "lack of self-appreciation." Since "self-appreciation," almost to the point of boldness, explains this venture into the experiment of a contest, we feel impelled to reply to the estimable editors of the Age, who have missed the point of this effort so completely. These are the indictments—for poetry judges, two were white and but one colored; for short histories, eight were white and but one colored; for plays, three were white and but one colored; for essays, all were white; and for personal experience sketches, only one was colored.
The writer of the article contended that Opportunity should have sought the co-operation of the colored press, and, ventured the name of Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Robert S. Abbott Carl Murphy, Washington Rhodes Robert L. Vaim, J. E. Mitchell and Joseph Blub, all Negro newspaper editors, as possible judges. To this list were added Charles W. Chestnut, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Jessie Fauset and Walter White. As poetry judges, William Stanley Braithwaite and William Moore were suggested; as play judges, Jesse A. Shipp, Alexander Rogers, Miller and Lyles were offered; no one was suggested as judge for the essays or the personal experience sketches. We wish here to record our admiration of all of the perous mechaton, who with perhaps two exceptions, are known to this magazine, and whose abilities have never been questioned. But, really, the purpose of the context was not to introduce to them the material and ability which they all know exists among Negroes. Nor was it thought necessary to attempt a racial balance just for the sake of evidencing self-esteem. For short story judges we attempted to get the most outstanding short-story writers and critics of the short story in America. An implication of this selection is that to the stories by Negroes would be applied the supreme American standards.
The same consideration governed the selection of judges for other divisions of the contest. A foremost critic of poetry is Mr. Braithwaite. He was asked, but for personal reasons could not serve. Another is James Welden Johnson. He is one of our judges. Moreover, of other names mentioned as judges, some were contenders and some closely associated with another similar contest, one a judge of the other contest criticized, and, in the case of some of the others mentioned, we confess, apologetically, that their work is not known to us.
It is unfortunate that the editorial writer in the Age thinks that "the power and ability of celebrated editors and writers" is being deprecated. Really, the effort has been to avoid a depreciation of the whole literary experiment by getting detached experts in special fields of letters. "From that point of view, it was no more appropriate to ask the talented editor of the New York Age or his associates to serve as a judge of poetry or short stories than to ask the editor of the New York Times. Both, in fact, might know poetry and the technique of the short story, but their reputations are founded upon their specialization, which is journalism. "The support of the race," he concludes, "is essential to the efficiency of our racial welfare movement. This support can be most effectively sanctioned through the agency of the press and the pulpit."
The relation of this stock peroration to the question of who should pass upon the literary merits of contest entries, we confess, is puzzlingly obscure. If the Negro ministers object, it is only fair that the Negro lawsuye and the doctors and real estate men should be allowed to register a protest. We do not however, expect any of this. We believe that all of those mentioned by the Age are as interested as we in "fostering creative effort among Negroes, developing a body of literature about the Negro by Negroes, and in bringing these writers into contact with the general world of letters to which they have been, for the most part, timid and inarticulate strangers." This was our high, and this is what we tried to do.
CHARLES S. JOHNSON.
Nota—As The Negro World of last week reproduced the article from the New York Age, on "Lack of Soft-Appealization," and made an editorial reference to it. It is only fair that Mr. Johnson should be allowed to state the reasons why he pursued the young complained of in appointing so many white and so few Negro judges for their literary content, and let the reader draw his own conclusion. Aside from that phrase of the matter, we think
Greetings to Mr. Garvey
Written for The Near World
BY ETHEL TREW DUNLOP
O. Afric's poorest patriot,
That languages confined,
How freely hast thou given life,
And liberty and mind.
To lift the captive's heavy yoke
That burdens down thy race,
And lead to liberty's fair height
Where free-nice might find place,
Scorned by the race that dominates,
And sold by Judas, too,
Who deem his color hides his sin.
The whole world rails at you.
Yet spite of all the powers that be
Thine inner light prevails,
Ayaha alire, Kihino awakes,
The late they coming halls:
O. what is life compared with this,
The spirit's freedom fair?
We pledge our lives as free as dew
It's wondrous bloom to bear.
Thy gloomy prison bars that hold
Ethiopia's rarest bloom
Cannot confine its fragrance in
The darkness of the tomb:
And thy escaping spirit,
Dearing gladness to thy race.
Shall free four hundred million
And give to them their place.

Trouble With the South Is the Negation of the Negro
Of the various works which received Pulitzer awards, the most interesting is the editorial which appeared in the Charleston, S. C. News' and Courier, entitled "The Flight of the South." To say the least, it was an unusual piece to come from the South. Robert Lathan, editor of the paper, who wrote it, declares that the South is almost a negligible factor in national affairs: that she is without intellectual leadership, and that these facts had as well be faced honestly and death with.
Well, what is the matter with the South? The reasons which keep her out of a place of influence in national affairs are obvious enough. She is, to begin with, preoccupied with a race issue which by the very nature of it must be local. In addition, she is preoccupied with petty religious and moral disputes, none of which attain sufficient importance to gain attention outside the village church. But what is the reason for this provincial narrowness? Why, for example, did the Tennessee Legislature pass such an incredible law as the one prohibiting the teaching of evolution in the public schools of the State?
To the outside observer it looks as though such a state of affairs has its beginning in economic conditions rather than in any special narrowness of the Southern mind. One is struck by the fact that this kind of parochial narrowness is imacular—that is, it could be possible only in minds which had no contacts with large currents of thought. And one is struck further by the fact that the economic organization of the South is such as to make this isolation complete. The South is predominantly rural, and in most places is what is called "backward"—that is, the farmers scratch a bare living out of the ground, and that is all. With three coarse meals and heavy works their regular lot, it is small wonder that med have small interest in what the rest of the world is doing. But with an expanding economic life, with more case, more contacts with outside thought, less oppression from a lethal boredom—that thun? One pictures a far different South. Indeed, there are signs of it already. A few real universities have been built, magazines started, writers produced. These are indications of a civilization which is learning how to enjoy life in a more seemingly way. Possibly Mr. Lathan is too possessimistic. The South for sixty years has been a degenerated region, its recovery has been slow. But with recovery accomplished, there is no reason why it should not do impressive things.
"White Men Need Fear Tropics No Longer'
Philadelphia, April 25.—Physical oblasties have been overcome by science and there no longer remain any adequate reasons why white men cannot invade and successfully assimilate the vast tropical fields of wealth, Dr. Bowman C. Cromwell, professor of pathology at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, told the annual meeting of the American Philosophical Society yesterday.
"So far, the white man has been a failure in the tropics," said Dr. Cromwell, "but he need be no longer self-protection is now no harder there than in the temperate zones. There is no vital reason now why he cannot take advantages of the wealth of natural resources to be found there."
The conquest of yellow fever, malaria, African sleeping sickness and the bubonic plague, is almost complete, he declared. "Protection against the starting sun is simple," the professor explained. "The chief difficulty left is the malarial one. The host of the tropics retards a white man's mental reactions and maps his energies, but even this can be individually overcome."
Janet Miller of Chippewa, now two months old, was born with five black teeth, mild by physicians to be the first ones known where posterior molars were present at birth.

Men: Listen:
"Women wage earners carry double burdens," reads a headline in the Nation's Health. The Department of Labor made an investigation of 4,000 married women who were employed. "Nearly two-thirds of them were moth- of children under five years." Half of them received money to contribute toward the support of the family by keeping boarders or doing laundry, etc., which allowed them to watch over the children. The other half worked in the factories and mills. One of every five worked at night and took care of the children during the day.—Ouch
Relatives and landlords and kind neighbors were pressed into service to watch the children sometimes, and where it could be so arranged the father and mother worked one at night and the other in the day time so that the children could be supervised and rest obtained too. But one in twenty hired someone to do this duty while the mother went out to earn that fee and more besides. Most of the mothers left home at six or seven. In the morning and prior to leaving had washed and dressed and fed the family and prepared the lunch-eon.
Do you dream that these women went out to work for the "pure cus-sedness" of meeting men in their field of activity—the industrial world? I do not. How many of these women do you see on the subway cars, the surface cars? How many of them are you willing to help by offering them the courtesy of a seat? It may just happen, you know, that they shall not have time to sit down when they got home, for there will be the supper, the putting the children to bed, the snatching time to wash a few things or iron them, and such details which men seldom have to shoulder when they return after the day's work. They would not ask for it. They are good sports. They must be or they would not be doing double duty at home—making it—and outside of the home—helping to support it.
How about this? Ever think about it?
The Exceeding Great Riches Of East Africa Developing
"The potentialities of East Africa alone almost surpass the power of human appreciation," said Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman of the Pheles-Stokes Fund Educational Commission to East Africa, who arrived from London the other day on the Carmanna.
"East Africa's arable arcage, exclusive of, South Africa, in time almost may equal that of the United States, being three and one-half times the area of the United Kingdom," Dr. Jones said. "East Africa, north of the Transvaal, contains 200,000 square miles of high plateau, free of tropical diseases and capable of producing the crops of the temperate zone.
" Its possibilities are strikingly illustrated by the fact that two years ago in the Protectorate of Uganda about 100 bales of cotton were produced, and last year the output was approximately 200,000 bales."
Dr. Jones has just completed a report on the commission's eight month's survey of conditions in East Africa. He was recently the principal guest at an official dinner given by the British Government in recognition of the cooperation of the United States in sending the commission to Africa, to meet the educational needs of the natives. The investigation was made at the request of the British Government and actively supported by the British Colonial office, the United States Department of Agriculture, the International Educational Board (Rockefeller) and British and American missionary societies. Representatives of the British Colonial office are now in this country visiting Negro schools of the Tuskegee type and studying American methods, with a view to improving the lot of the masses in the rural districts of the Black Continent.

WORKERS PARTY OF UNITED STATES DEMAND RELEASE OF MARGUS GARVEY
(Continued from Page 2)
which is the enemy of the Negro people.
The real reason for the arrest of the president of the Negro association is the crude belief that this will cause the organization to fall to pieces.
Importance of Organization of Negroes
The Workers (Communist) party takes this occasion to point out to white workers as well as Negro workers the importance of organization of the Negro masses of this country. The Negro population is composed almost entirely of wage workers and the most severely exploited class of farmers, often landless. In addition to the ordinary forms of exploitation and persecution under which the white workers and farmers suffer, the Negroes have to endure the terrible burden of race persecution by which the capitalist class intensifies its class exploitation of the Negroes and also succeeds in dividing and weakening the exploited classes.
In America and internationally, in the world struggle against capitalist imperialism, the Negro movement is destined to play a tremendous part. The epoch of the world revolution which opened with the Russian revolution is also the epoch of the rise of the darker races, and the two form one inseparable whole. A movement among the Negro workers and farmers of the United States must be considered not only in the light of the class struggle within this country, but also in connection with the anti-imperialist struggles of the millions of West Indian Negroes and the 150,000,000 natives of Africa, and the awakening of the 400,000,000 of China, and the 300,000,000 of India.
The widespread awakening of interest among American Negroes in international questions, as shown in the desire to take part in the strengthening of the African Negro republic of Liberia and the winning of independence for the natives of Africa generally is a guarantee of this historical trend.
This newly awakened interest of American Negroes in international affairs, which found confused but correct expression among the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was one of the causes of the government's brutal attack upon the Negro organization. "The diplomatic ministers of the United States, Great Britain and France brought about the outwinding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from African soil. The president of the Liberian republic has publicly admitted the 'obligations to the great powers' had something to do with the exclusion of the Negro association from all activities in Liberia. A concession for rubber lands, claimed by the Negro association, was withdrawn and given to a big American corporation (the Firestone Fire Co.), through the machinations of an American diplomatic minister at the same moment that the United States government made its final assault to break up the Negro association. Here we see the sharp fangs of American imperialism determined to enter and ravage the African continent just as it ravages Haiti, Porto-Rico and Virgin Islands, etc.
The Workers (Communist) party, Composed of Negro workers as well as white workers, and standing for the solidarity and emancipation of the working class on terms of equality of all races, cannot stand idly by while the capitalist dictatorship attempts to destroy a mass organization of the exploited Negro people. We cannot consent that the Negro should be denied the right of organization.
The Workers (Communist) party calls upon the workers, both Negro and white, to protest against the persecution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
We demand the immediate release of Marcus Garvey.
We demand that Marcus Garvey shall not be deported.
We demand an end to the hostage of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the courts of law.
We demand that "Liberty Hall" shall not be taken away from the Negro association.
We demand that the bloody hand of American imperialism shall not strangle the African people.
We demand that the full and free intercourse of American Negroes with

RIO JANEIRO. April 22 (Relayed by wre from Cuyabo, Matto Grosso).—This dispatch is being filed at Cuyabo on April 20, within a few hours of our expedition's departure into the heart of the Brazilian jungle. Our stay here has gained us important information on the ruins of the ancient civilization we are seeking. We have also heard much of the present degenerate descendants, of a once mighty and cultured race.
Here in Cuyabena we are on the coast line of the old South American Mediterranean. South and West stretch the immense low-lying and, in fact, inundated area which extend almost unbroken to the foot of the Andes. Just north of us is what is known as "the Chapala," which appears here as a line of cliffs and reaches an altitude of about 2,000 feet above sea level. Cuyabena is at an attitude of approximately 400 feet, which is why the Paraguay and its affluents fall to carry off the summer waters in sufficient volume to avoid inundation.
On the Chapado and to the north are found the remains of gigantic animals, fossilized trees, and even the foundations of prehistoric buildings. These last are so damaged or buried as to have attracted little or no attention. North of 14 degrees south there is no civilization in this great State, except a telegraph line in the northwest which traverses a somewhat uninteresting section and the few settlers who extract a precarious existence from the Tapajoz and Araguaia. They are de-organized more or less by the few and degenerate Indians who deprived of their land by more powerful tribes, have established themselves on the banks of the principal rivers.
In the direction where our expedition is going, an Indian told of an ancient building, round and tower-like, partly fallen down. From its doors and windows there is always a light. What it is the Indians do not know, as the bad troglodytes live near and they have not ventured too close. But I think it may be a huge light-giving crystal or some other form of illumination unknown to science. The building lies between civilization and our main objective. We purna it because we cannot avoid it even if we wished to, which we don't.
A Brazilian friend living here ensures me that again and again he and his people have sat in the veranda of his house and listened to the peculiar and inexplicable sounds which periodically come out of this region. He describes it to me as the flight of a distant rocket or a blasting shell, rising into the air and seemingly plunging down to the earth, ending with clear "boom, boom". He has no idea of the cause. Nor have I, unless it be that the curious meteorological phenomena resembling discharge of arillery are repeated here, as they are heard periodically in the eastern Bimalaya.
It is a region of curious volcanic formation and lofty hills. Near my friend's propensity and bordering a rapid of a well known river is a great wedge ripple forming a parallelogram, six feet long by about three feet square. It is perforated by three holes, two from side to side, but the middle one stained at either end by a stone plug and what is apparently a cement formed with small pebbles. Bubbled it on a great rock by an inscription in brunge characters consisting of fourtons letters or signals. They have been cut, obviously, by tins, with metal knobs.

CIVILIZATION IN BRAZILIAN JUNGLE To Heart of Unknown Tropical Area Tribe Led by a Woman, Fat but
pictures. Here near Cusaya on the Chapada, exist places with carved pictures and inscriptions. They are to be found everywhere around the region which we are about to explore. About eight or ten years ago a rubber gatherer in one of the rivers obtained from a forest Indian an egg-shaped rock, crystal with a highly polished surface. In the interior of this crystal was the picture of an Indian with hair bobbed. The Indian was nude to the waist. It was seen by many people here, but seems to have caused little comment because antiquities do not appeal to a people whose entire energies are devoted to a struggle to live. Its owner sold it for a couple of millets—a quarter. There was no obvious cleavage in the stone, which was reckoned to be very old. Its origin was questionably Indian.
These things force one to think forlornly. Art seems so for from a naked river Indian. And yet, the lowest river Indians of Matto Grosso, the Caxibis wear ornaments of amazing artistic excellence—a river mussel shell carved into a perfect fish and used as an carving—ornaments for wrist, arm neck of cotton woven with figures of birds, fish and animals, head dresses of feathers, and feathers and cotton work-like the mitre of a bishop and so on.
Unfortunately communications has so far always ended tragically, and it is only from dead bodies that these things have been discovered.
They, too, have women chiefs. A Curuba expedition, fifty strong, descended, a certifying river not long ago, some distance down they encountered the first party of these Indians. The latter after a while accepted presents. On the following day, the party having camped, they observed standing on the edge of the forest a fat very fair woman, surrounded by equally fair Indians, as a species of court. She was unapproachable and very dignified. They were warned to get out, which they did—and were attached 'during the process.
Fossils Show Animal Life 5 to 15 Million Years Ago
CHICAGO, April 27.—Fossils of prehistoric animal life buried five to fifteen million years ago in South America when the southern part of that continent was a "world apart," and different from those found anywhere else in the world, have been collected for the Field Museum by Prof. E. S. Rigg on a scale not hereoforetained by an American research institution. It was announced today by D. C. Davies, director of the museum.
Prof. Rigg, associate curator of paleontology, returned today after twenty-eight months in South American fossil fields, as head of a Capt. Marshall Field expedition.
He followed somewhat the route of Darwin's famous scientific expedition of a century ago on the coast of Southern Argentina, and also collected for five months in and about Tarja, Bolivia, known as the "Valley of the Bones of Gianta." George P. Sternberg and J. B. Abbott, collectors for the museum, and Harold Riggs, Prof. Riggs, soh, also were with the expedition.
The expedition covered about 5,000 miles and collected approximately 300 specimens of 100 species.
"The first summer we spent in and around Santa Cruz, Southern Argentina, which must have been a world apart," said Prof. Riggs. "The animals mostly were sloth-like creatures, not used to traveling far, although there in wildlife that some horse-like creatures, most of feet, existed in the region at that time."
The Mogro Has More Opportunity in the United States. Than Anywhere Else on Earth
To the Editor of The Negro World:
- The New York World of Saturday, April 25, has on its front page an account of a rupture in the proceedings of the meeting in Washington on April 24, of the American Society of International Law. It started when one of the speakers attacked the patriotism of the American Jew. The attacker is quoted as saying that "he Jew is a wanderer who settles temporarily in a country."
The Jew, though debarred from many high political offices in, nevertheless, strong politically, because of the vast pressure he can be to bear, through his economic power. The foreign person of the present, or only one generation removed from alien birth, is in much the same situation. Open door in business, partial admission in politics. For the Negro is reserved a system of suppression and cruelty that would disgrave savagedom.
Yet, if any of the proscribed groups follow their natural bent and rear walls of defense or evolve means of pro-greasing against this tide of aggression the very people that oppress and proscribe accuse them of dual nationality. It brings, back vividly to mind a conversation this writer had with the late "Bruce-Grit" of noble memory. He stated very clearly his reasons for saying that the Negro could not be a real patriot in America.
"How," he would ask, "can a man develop true patriotism in a bud where he is denied as a citizen the commonest, privileges extended, to an allied." The words may not be the exact ones he used, but they convey the thought he sought to express. It is not that the Jew or the Negro cannot love America even to the point of self-sacrifice. It is quite likely that a fair percentage of our Negro dead in past wars were actuated in fighting by a love of country. It is more reasonable to deduce that they fought to impress America, with the face that people willing and ready to rise death in her defense were deserving of better recompense than prescription and mob murder. However well he may serve her, no matter how high his respect for the ideals blasted forth by fourth of July orators, the Negro cannot love America in the sense that a white American does.
The white (native) knows that his boy is potentially Governor, Senator, Cabinet Officer—even President, and seeks the protection of a Government without giving it his whole-hearted allegiance. Like all half truths, it more pernicious than an copyright life. And it interests us off the UNLA) because sentiments somewhat similar are at times expressed regarding our activities. We are often accused of fostering a pro-African feeling in our group to the detriment of National collection, a statement which, like that made with reference to Jew, is only half true.
The subject is "growth of deem thought. How manifestly unfair it is to abuse the Jew for his internationalism When that internationalism is the direct and only logical outcome of contours of oppression." There is no denying that the distance mechanisms of these "people manifest themselves at times in rather displeasant ways."
No doubt the age-long devotion to money-getting, desperately as it was, first for purposes of self-protection has developed in place to post-nuclear and megadatrices. No doubt the custom among Christian nations of murdering defenseless Jews at or at least affecting them a contemporary relevance has teemed to throw them bound upon their poor culture for that fullness of expression that offers a room for in national life. But which to blame for that? If you build a door across the main entrance of a powering stream it is but logical to expect that not having sufficient force to break the dam, the stream will diverge above it. This diversion of interest was badly denounced by our team Sherrell at the opening of the 1923 visit convention.
He decried the cowl of a system that kept ten per cent. of the Nation's population thinking eternally in terms of self. He pointed out the waste of energy when half our efforts are directed at combating rapid prejudice.
The issue is, big-tail too big—the most of the men with pleasure mind-attempting to handle it. In these quiet moments, when our prejudices are asleep we can realize that much of this interference is heritage of the past and not to be easily eliminated even by education. What is neglected most is a larger tolerance with the other fellow viewpoint. Think as you see it and give the other fellow the privilege you claim for yourself.
And last of all, keep your mind open to reason. If these men who know better would only give their reasons free rein instead of setting up an uplift of intolerance and worshiping at its shrine. If only reason were the sole highway to conclusion. But most of us use our reasoning powers to bolster up the conclusions we already are arrived at regardless of the right or wrong of them.
That's the thinker's greatest handicap.

SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL IS PLANNED FOR THIS OCCASION
GENERAL ADMISSION 25c
Science and Religion, by J. Arthur Thomson. Charles Scribner's Sons. $2.
That Universal and public manuscript" of Nature that they expanded unto the eyes of all" was mage last year the theme of a notable series of lectures under the Morse Foundation at the Union Theological Seminary by J. Arthur Thomson, resus professor of natural history at the University of Aberdeen. They have been gathered now into a book that offers an engaging declaration of the beliefs of one who is list of all a scientist but who is yet a religionist; of one who has quite definitely made up his mind that the conflict between science and religion is a conflict of stiffened devotion, whose only common ground is determination that if there is to be any concession it must come from the other side.
"Scientific description of terms of Lowest Common Denominators." Insists Dr. Thomson, "announce in any radical antithesis with reliigious interpretation in terms of Greatest Common Measure." So, the powers of the one and the dialogue of the other sit him to imminence and he calls for the "arbitration of a frontier commission." He offers such an arbitration, indeed, said if Religion may find something more of comfort, in his conclusions. Science must yet console his unfailing confidence for him.
Dr. Thomson is the "modern view that the aim of Science is descriptive". His in a Science that "has shown the order and unity of the world, deposited the Faces of Nature and New life in the past the Line of No Injuries that prepare good, but the world is only, has shown how things have shown and how living creatures have enjoyed. It is one thing to do the admiration of common life in the way he does not benefit. Many worldly vices are now high-yields that which is more designed to be used and so are, when he is to be called to any "You must change his content to a different and thesarcast man" for. Thompson states that Rebeccas all become large up. "But if they have to be in an inhumation for the people, scientific intelligence is the whole part of the nature of the region he is a little less as a scientific attack on the performance form they are some more like you," he altered " as the use of the film, aged " have been. " What does " an impropable force of a Venerable man wanted he taken, he was " the re-filling the scientific flux, a generation afterward.
If I am to be the author of this book for which I think, "Theismon would have no journal at all with it. But it has no such place and when he hears one say too briefly: 'All come from the primes and the elements of the primive mist,' he answers firmly: 'No, not from matter and energy only, but from matter and energy and mind.' He is an Aristotelian in holding that there can be nothing in the end that was not also in kind on the beginning, and by no jonkey-pawkery, as Scott
folk say, can 'Mind' be got out of Matter? "If it emerges, it is because it was there all the time." Accepting, of course, the physical irreducibles of electrons and protons and waves in space, he adds another irreducible, Mind. He dwells upon the impressive fact that one system of formulation suffices in the chemico-physical world from the smallest particles to the stellar universes," and finds "this unification congruent with the concept of God." Elsewhere he offers the concept of a "Prime Mover who made things make themselves," and again of "the God of the electrons and protons" as the God who made these irreducibles make the mystery of the mountains and the sea and sky eternally new." Step by step, he submits, as Science advances "the world becomes more and more interpretable as the working out of a Divine Thought."
It is with something like delight that Dr. Thompson contemplates the "astounding and, ever-increasing disclosure of the scientific "inflexibility" of the world," the "periling order" that Science discloses. It follows, in his thesis, that "the more we know of the world, the more it becomes like a home in which the religious can breathe freey."
Upon this conclusion he raises the question of Purpose, as before he raised the question of Mind.
Is there (the asks) a purpose in the cosmic process from nebula to cooling earth, from amoeba to man: When we think of man and his achievements, we recognize an outcome that is not, so far, an anti-climax. Whatever may be his destiny—in regard to which Science has no light—man is an achievement that may be said to justify the inexplicably long greaning and travelling of creation.
The course of evolution looks as if it had been pre-arranged with a view to the emergence of man. It looks as if Nature were Nature with a purpose. Unless we are there drifter with the tide, we recognize purpose as the central reality of our life. Behind all, we say in religious language, there is the Will of God.
It is difficult he concludes) to keep from pressing certain questions who answers he beyond Science. What is the meaning of this cosmic process getting for hundreds of millions of years, what is the meaning of man and his flesh thoughts, will there be anything to show for it if the world was odied like a garment. To use the sarcasm of Avatable Enigma, will God then say to his counsels? That was a good play, let us have it very clearly. The history of religions now clearly that as man's needs grow in height and depth as well as in length and breadth God also grew. So it must continue to be, and one of the needs of the religious mind today is an appreciation, and interpretation of the world which made in some abbreviations. This must enter into our conception of God.

AFRICA AS THE THIEVES' KITCHEN FOR WHITE MEN
Will the Black and White Workers Ever Reach a Working Understanding?—A Laborite's Estimate of the African Situation
IN LONDON SUNDAY WORLD
The masters of Europe have acquired the habit of mind that looks upon Africa as upon their own kitchen department, and upon the Africans as a white mistress looks upon the lower orders in the dark and steaming regions where the menials prepare her food.
The Negro is the Workers' "dark horse." How is he going to react to the present era of his economic and political subjection? Will he acquire a social consciousness? Will it be a tribal (nationalistic), a racial or a class consciousness?
The distribution of the more distinct families of Africans he been artificially cut across by the boundaries of the various colonial empires. So that the growth of a nationalistic local patriotism has been retarded.
Rit in the case of all, who whatever Negro begins to think, he finds himself a victim of expropriation and exploitation on the part of a distant imperialistic state. Now, if the representatives of, white labor, working alongside their black comrades, encouraged this newly discovered class feeling, it is easy to see what a social revolutionary, force will be around, possibly without the added complications of local patriotisms.
On the other hand, if the contradiction of the color bar is allowed to spoil the united front, then the native workers will be driven back upon their other basis of strength in their race solidarity. And, since the more privileged white workers have been slow to grasp their true policy upon this question, the slogan has already been proclaimed of "Africa for the Africanans": "The issue for the Negro is being largely fought out in America, where the millions of "emancipated" Negroes are pondering the alternative of class war or race war. In other words, "the land for the Workers" or "Africa for the Africans." There is a considerable movement, united in sentiment if not in clear thought, campaigning actively under the litter slogan, working from America.
In Africa itself the two centers of growing work and organizational care of the Union (Cape Colony Natal, Thornville, in South Africa and in Eugene, in Northwest Africa. In South Africa the labor matters is mostly Negro and partly British, Dutch and German, and to an extent (though limited) Indian. But the Negro, whether in industry, the mines, on the plantations or in exploiting the service, works generally in an illegal, indetermined system on short period renewable contracts, with local partners, and he breaks any of the rules on labor conditions.
Sixty per cent. of colored women of Jekkoville, Florida, are breadwinners.

Want to Recruit Labor from Africa, While Opponents Insist That It Is Impossible, and That Labor Should Be Recruited From Other British West Indian Islands
We Say It!! IF IT IS PRINTING
BECAUSE WE HAVE IN OPERATION ONE OF THE BEST MODERN EQUIPPED PLANTS IN ANY CITY.
From the Georgetown Daily Argosy
The government are to be congratulated upon the appointment of a large committee, "to consider what steps should be taken to introduce such numbers of agricultural families of African race or origin as the economic conditions of the colony may justify and may be found possible under the Colonization Scheme of 1919." Still more are they to be congratulated upon the personnel of the committee. At the first glance we were inclined to take the committee as a joke, because, apart from a leavening of responsible members of the community, it comprises the majority of the most notorious fire-brands, the most poisonous preachers of race hatred and the most irresponsible agitators for agitation's sake that this unfortunate colony has imposed upon it for its sins. Indeed, if the names of Mr. A. R. P. Webber and Mr. J. Dudds were added, we should see assembled upon one committee the whole of the most notorious Negro and colored agitators of British Gulang, and nearly the whole of the Garveyites. The great and only Jordan has been unaccountably overlooked, but perhaps it is not too late to secure his valuable assistance.
Where we think the government are wise is that quite obviously the chief purpose of the constitution of the committee is the education of the hedge politicians, of whom it is chiefly composed. It will be remembered that almost precisely a year ago the self-appointed officials of that somewhat masonic body the Negro Progress Convention presented to His Excellency the Governor, a so-called "reasoned statement," which was "more remarkable for extraordinary statements than anything approaching reason. The concluding paragraph reads: "This committee is of the settled opinion that a deputation to the several West Indian and African colonies, including the Union of South Africa, will succeed in securing thousands of families to migrate to these shores on the same terms and conditions as are being offered to the Indians."
Now it is quite certain that if there are any considerable number of people in this colony who hold such diseases
without anything whatever upon which to base them, beyond a knowledge that the governors of several African colonies have stated, emphatically that there is no surplus of labor available for migration or colonization elsewhere, and if the people who have, without any knowledge whatever of life and conditions in any part of Africa, jumped at such a conclusion are the most active and the most loud-mouthed of our local agitating fraternity, who may do harm and cause unrest by forcing their misguided views upon other even more ignorant people, then the sooner these gentlemen are confronted with cold, hard facts the better it will be for the peace of the colony. A little elementary knowledge upon the geography, the ethnology and the constitution of the African colonies will do them good—or perhaps we should say 'will do them good if they are informed firmly and decisively in advance that there are no K. C. ships going abnegating and very little prospect indeed of any of them earning ten thousand dollars or so apiece by means of a holiday excursion to the African colonies. In this connection it would be interesting to know how many of the gentlemen in the later portion of the committee list—which reads almost like a record of the daily calls upon Sir Joseph Nunan during the last few days of his sojourn here—have been promised by the ex-Attorney-General that they shall be members of a travelling delegation. It might smooth the labors of the committee if the chairman at the initial meeting could elicit this information—though perhaps on second thoughts, that would be indiscreet, as it might awaken jealousy and suspicion and lead to a flow of oratory which would extend the settings of the committee until Doomsday.
We have little doubt that the government- is in possession of information, which will doubtless be placed before the committee, that it would be absolutely useless to send a Colonization mission to anywhere in Africa, for the good and sufficient reason that no government there would permit recruiting, to say nothing of the fact that the African native would be practically useless, without a period of tuition, as an agricultural laborer. We cannot call to mind natives of any portion of Africa, outside Egypt and some portions of North Africa, who could justly be described as agriculturists. That seems a sweeping statement to make, but it is based upon fact. There are individual exceptions, of course, but it may be taken as a general rule that—left to himself—a Negro of Africa despises
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY.9, 1925
agriculture as a pursuit fitted only for women. The march of civilization, the restraint upon inter-tribal fighting, the gradual disappearance of game, are causing economic changes, but primarily speaking the African native is a hunter and a fighter. The gentler art of agriculture he has always left mainly to his women-folk. It may be taken for granted that no government in Africa, British, Portuguese, French, Italian or Belgian, is going to allow recruitment among sections of agricultural or forrest pursuits, and no others are wanted in this colony. It is almost equally doubtful whether any of the 'raw' or unskilled natives would be permitted to come even if we wanted them.
If the African colonization committee, then, is wine it will confine its attention to the matter of attracting people of Negro blood from the West Indian Islands, and especially Jamaica. When our unnecessarily large colonization deputation waited upon Lord Milner, then secretary for the colonies, in July, 1918, he frankly expressed the opinion that "black labor" was not available, and that at any rate, he did not know "where it is coming from." We prefer the opinion of a statesman with the wide experience of conditions in Africa of Lord Milner to the uninformed views of people like Messrs. Fredericks, Nichols and Bruyning, the three moving spirits of the Negro progress convention, not one of whom, so far as we are aware, has ever set foot on African soil. In the same interview, referring to the surplus Population of Barbados and other West Indian Islands, Lord Milner said: "There is no reason why you should not attract them."
That expression of opinion, we think should provide the keynote of the work of the new committee. If Jamaica can supply laborers in large numbers to the sugar plantations of Cuba, why should some of those laborers be attracted here? There are undoubted possibilities in the islands. There are none whatever, except upon impossible conditions, in Africa itself. The committee should do useful work if its members will confine themselves to realities and if they will set themselves to the task of devising or suggesting machinery to make known throughout the islands the advantages we offer to settlers with agricultural experience, and to smooth away the difficulties of transportation confronting those who are able and willing to come. We are afraid, however, that the path of wisdom and commonsense will not be followed. The demand of the "reasoned" statement was that the Negro progress convention should select a delegation to go to the West Indies and Africa. The recent publication of the figures showing the luscious "pickles" of the Nunan Mission will have whetted the appetite for so lucrative a jount of the gentlemen who were anxious to form a deputation a year ago. Perhaps the ideal solution of the problem would be the appointment of Messrs. Fredericks, Bruyning, Griffith, Frank and Eddison as permanent recruiting agents in Jamaica, Barbados and elsewhere. The whole colony would breathe more freely in their absence.

the attacks would occur, and the marshal predicted to the day the beginning of the Riff offensive.
If the French reinforcements have not yet reached the scene, it is said, it is because the region along the Quergha River is flooded and the rainy season, which has not yet ended, has made it impossible to transport material and troops under proper conditions.
The Riffs War on France
Commenting editorially on the situation the New York Sun says:
France is now having her turn in war with the Riff tribesmen. She has been expecting; it ever since their successes against Spain brought them down to the coast region of the Spanish-Moroccan zone. She thought, however; that her troubles with these truculent tribesmen was likely to begin with an invasion of the northern section of her Moroccan protectorate and an attack upon the international port of Tauleur. The leader of the Riffs, Abd-el-Krim, was shrewd enough to see that such a move would bring the European Powers down on him and thus react strongly in favor of Spain. Returned his tribesmen southward to their own hills and persuaded them that if they must fight they should fight for possession of the Rifian lands across the border in French Morocco. This, he declared, would give to their war against France the same color of patriotism that they had sought to give to their war against Spain.
Fighting has been the Riffs' chief occupation for the last twelve years. In that time they have driven the Spanishlands out of the interior of the Spanish Moroccan zone and confined their occupation to a few coast garrisons under the protection of Spanish gunboats. Spain has not entirely abandoned her zone, and Peumo de Rivera, Spanish dictator, has sayed his face. Nevertheless, victory was really with the Riffs and they might now settle down with a sense of security in the enjoyment of hard won peace.
But peace is not what these tribesmen desire. Abdel-Krim has discovered. He is not a warrior but a lawyer, and a natural leader of men with a shrewd idea of international politics so far as they concern northern Africa and the southeast coast of the Mediterranean. It was his brother SI Mohammad, who led the Rifin in their war on the Spaniards and who now stands next to Abdel-Krim in the native Government, which is something in the nature of a patriarchal kingdom, set up by the tribesmen, with its seat in the Riffan highlands.
The two brothers have no easy task In ruling this state of their own founding. The Ruffs, while perhaps the heavest of the native Moroccan tribes are at the same time the most independent and the most defiant of restraint. They won a decided victory over a European nation; they are the most discussed of north African natives, and their fighting qualities have brought them fame which has spread from the Atlantic coast to the Egyptian border and has caused them to be looked upon by every north African native as possible leaders in a race struggle against foreign domination.
They have a supreme contempt for the Sultan of Morocco, who they believe, gave in too easily to the French, and they profess an anxiety to re-republish Morocco as an independent country. In trying their hand against France they will seek to recover the Rifian section of Morocco, to capture Fez, the old Moroccan capital, and then to extend their boundaries and power over Morocco and eventually to dictate its ruler.
Riffs have extended their lines over a front of sixty miles and are engaging the French isolated outposts much as they attacked in their war on the Spaniards. The French have advantages in their warfare which the Spaniards' did not possess. They are in actual military occupation of the country and have been preparing for the Rift assaults; they have, too, allegiance of native troops unfriendly to the Riffs, and having nothing in common with them. The struggle is not France's alone, but a warfare in which over power having interests in north Africa will feel the keenest integret.
Not so long ago it was the custom of the idle rich in London to have "Treasure hunts," which gained them much notoriety. The young folka now have a new diversion. It is giving house parties at which the guests sleep during the daytime, rise about 9 o'clock in the evening, have "breakfast" and then begin the activities of the day. Of course, all the members of the party go in for the same amusements and occupations. At 1 o'clock in the morning "lunch" is served, and the "day" is occupied with moonlight teenls and golf.
Heavy fines are inflicted on anyone who refers to the fact that it is night time. For instance, it costs an offending member $5 to remark at "breakfast." What a lovely night" instead of "What a beautiful morning."
The title rich have nothing else to do with their time but what seems foolish to those who are not so rich. Many criticize the wealthy because they are always doing something no one ever heard of before. I dare say that if more of our folks had money they would do things just as foolish. It has already been proven. One wealthy Negro woman had all her calling cards perfumed, when the best that some of us can do is to read the hacks in the newspapers about the cost of perfume. Another woman, who acquired wealth in a hurry gave a "Dawn Dance." Everybody just circled themselves and hummed popular songs, strummed Ukuleles until dawn, then the dancing began and continued until 7. In the morning, when breakfast was served. Those who didn't care to dance acted in the capacity of cook, waiter or dishwasher. I rather liked the idea, as it was a change from the usual humdum house parties they generally have. When things are a bit different they are more interesting. These peculiar antics only prove that no one knows what he would do if he had money.
One of the most amusing traits of character, in both races is to enjoy talking about their servants. If you make a business call on some women, almost before you are seated she will call "Vally, you had better bring in the clothes, it looks like rain." Then she will turn to you and say, "You know, my maid is new and very forgetful." Remembrer you are not the least bit interested if she is new or old. You are only concerned about your business transaction which will prove nil, if she continues to impress you about her maid. The trend of conversation among the women in some very wealthy families is about the new mop and the old mud or the price of their sweets. It is just idle foolish chatter. These traits are peculiar to those who have not always been rich. Things you have been used to come so natural that you actually forget to talk about them. Some delight in talking about what they used to have. It is not what you used to be and have, but what you have and are today. Past wealth has nothing whatever to do with your present condition. The only thing to do is to have faith in yourself and try to make improvements in yourself.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
ARE NEGRO WOMEN MORE EASILY SATISFIED THAN WHITE WOMEN?
WE had for a long time wondered in our minds what was the driving force that impelled white men to brave all sorts of perils in order to acquire territory, wealth and power, until our leader, Marcus Garvey, in two short words, answered our question, "Their women." In a speech three years ago he pointed out to Negro women the danger of being too easily satisfied with the progress of their men and failed them to inspire their men to go out and conquer for themselves and posterity.
Without doubt a man's greatest reward for any accomplishment is the satisfied smile of the woman he loves. Earth seems like Heaven to him when he pleases the angel of his choice, for is it not true that the love of man and woman may be material in its conception, but has its spiritual reactions.
William Johnston, author of "The Women," is fair enough to the sex of his race when he admits these facts:
"If it wasn't that women always wanted something, and that we men were always trying to get it for them, we all should still be living in caves and gnawing roots to keep alive. . . . All progress is motivated by women's desires. They wanted fur to bedeck themselves in and we dared the perils of the forest to slay tigers for them. They wanted pearls to wear, and we dived to the ocean depths to get them. They wanted slaves to wait on them, so we went to war with other tribes and conquered them. They wanted corsets with which to shape their figures, so we chased and slew the mighty leviathan of the seas. . . . In efforts to please them we men have learned to build palaces, to paint pictures to manufacture silks and velvets. We have scoured the universe to bring them gifts and—they're still unhappy, unsatisfied, wanting something more."
If Negro men were half as fair to their women as this white author they would proclaim to the world that the Negro woman is the symbol of all that is noble in her sex. Glance back to the days when Egypt and Ethiopia were in their glory, when black women reigned as queens, administering justice fearlessly and well; priestesses and prophetsesses gave out their, wisdom to the world; brave women fought side by side with their men in battle, when the contingency arose. Skip over the years of gradual retrogression, and we find them as slaves in this western world, toiling in the fields alongside of their men, at the same time beating them children, and being subjected to the abuses of their vicious slave masters. View her as a freed woman and you will see a thrifty, hard-working woman toiling to augment the meagre earnings of her husband, and trying to rear and educate her children for future usefulness and service to their
The average Negro man does not appreciate his woman as he should or he would marvel to know if any other woman could endure all the hardships she does, and yet emerge from a sixteen-hour day's toil with a smile. Yes! She smiles! 'Not because she is satisfied with her lot, but she sees in the awakened consciousness of the youth of her race, a determination to so work and build that in a short while, black women will come out of Mjss Ann's kitchen, leave her wastub and preside over their own homes, while their men bring home the bacon.
White men are the greatest pioneers of the age. They will brave hell itself to satisfy their women; this desire to please them is actuated by their love and respect for them. If Negro men would place the right value on their women, they, too, would feel that there is nothing on God's green earth too good to give them.
Again we repeat. Negro women are lot satisfied with their lot. If they were, they would sit idly by and drift with the tide of world events, but they are a forward-looking group, whose pluck and perseverance others admire, and it is commonly said that if our men were as unselfish and ambitions as we are the race would be farther ahead. But the new hope of Garveyism is permeating the breasts of Negroes and urging us all on to nationhood, and a rightful participation in those things that make for life, the pursuit of happiness and the protection of that which is ours.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1985
Aims of the Association Are to Improve Educational Conditions of Negro Girls, Raise Educational Standards in the Universities
The National Association of College Women held its second annual convention in Baltimore April 16-18 inclusive. The convention opened formally on Thursday evening, April 16 at 8 o'clock, with a public meeting in the M. M. C. A. building. Mrs. Vashti Murphy welcomed the group in behalf of the College Alumnae of Baltimore Anna P. Brodnaix, Wilmington, Delaware, national vice-president, presided over the meeting and presented the speakers of the evening, the first of whom was the national president Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, Howard University, who delivered the annual address. In the speech Dean Slowe gave the origin, purpose and history of the National Association of College Women, stating that it was conceived by the College Alumnae Club of Washington, D. C., for the purpose of uniting all colored college women into one association for the improvement of the education of colored college women throughout the United States. Mrs. Lucy Messer Holmes and Mary Cromwell were largely influential in bringing about this organization, which, at first temporary, became permanent in 1821. The National Association of College Women embraces to date the parent branch in Washington and other branches located in Baltimore, Wilmington (Delaware), New York City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City, Portsmouth, Petersburg (Va.), Charleston (W. Va.), St. Louis and Los Angeles.
The association has definite desires: first, to improve the educational conditions of Negro girls, to raise educational standards in the universities. To this, it is making a survey of the various colleges of the country in which women are trained. Such investigations are directed toward the housing, physical education, medical inspection, health, recreation and social environment of the students; toward the adequate training, compensation and general treatment of teachers; toward dormitory discrimination and the equality of opportunity for all girls in the Northern and Western colleges especially. The association desires further to stimulate study in the field of research for women of intellectual attainment, and finally to establish itself as an educational agency for scholarship, to establish for itself such a reputation for doing work that it can be entrusted with funds for the development of women. The president emphasized the singleness of purpose which characterized the association and expressed the hope that it would adhere, tenaciously to this purpose.
Other speakers on the association's program included Charles H. Wesley professor of history, Howard University, who gave on Friday evening a very inspiring address on the subject "A Challenge to the College Woman"; Mr. Maurice Moss, who at the luncheon conference, Sharp Street Community House, headquarters for the association in convention, discussed "The College Woman In Inter-Racial Relations"; Dr. Adolph Meyer, professor of psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University, who on Saturday gave a very illuminating talk on "Mental Hygiene for College Students," and Dr. Iva J. Peters, vocational advisor, Gouph College, who spoke on "The Orientation of the College Woman." In addition to these, the following members of the association led in discussions: Mrs. Anna M. Dingle, "How May the Association Be Financed"; Mrs. Helen B. Groksley, "The Organization of Branches"; Grace Colman, "Living Conditions Among Colored Girls In Northern College"—the results of an investigation conducted throughout the year.
Much of the day Friday was spent in the registration for members, and in the reports of committees, sectional directors and other officers. These revealed the fact that the aims of the association heretofore mentioned were already being carried out. On Friday evening members of the association enjoyed a very beautiful reception given in the chapel of Bethel Church by the Baltimore branch. During the course of the convention attention was directed to the fact that the association had published two journals, which give accounts of the conference, attending the temporary organization and of the first convention. A letter of congratulation was sent to Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, who recently received the degree Ph.D. from the University of Sarbonne, Paris, France.
The following officers were elected to serve for the appuing year: President, Luzy D. Slowe; vice-president, Anna P. Brodney; secretary-treasurer, Joanita P. Howard; corresponding secretary, Carrie B. S. Lee; sectional director for the East, Mrs. Lillian

BRITISH RULE THREATENED OVER INDIAN GIRL'S LOVE AFFAIRS
Gandhi's Associate Retained by Maharajah, Whose Untold Wealth British Fear Will Finance Swaraj Movement
From the N. Y. Herald Tribune
Is the security of British rule in India threatened by a quarrel which began in rivalry over a low-caste manch girl?
Are the hard hands of little Munzah Tegum, base-born manch girl who became the favorite of the Maharajah of Indore, destined to weaken or break the grip of European control over the polygiot Indian Empire, with its 325,000,000 people, and change the course of world history?
As the time of the Malabar Hill murder trial approaches, British statesmen must consider these questions. The case has stirred up much hatreds and religious animosities more seriously than any occurrence since the bloody Sepoy Rebellion years ago. The British hold on India is always precautious. What complications the trial will bring no one dares predict.
Agent of Maharajah Accused of Murder
Seven agents of the Maharajah, two of them officials of the Indore government, are charged with trying to abduct Mumtaz and killing the rick Bombay merchant who stole her from the Hindu prince. The attack took place just at dusk on the evening of January 12, as Mumtaz was driving through the grounds of Malabar, Hill with Abdul Baula, her lover, and an Englishman named Matthews. Baula was killed, the Englishman wounded and the girl face slashed with a knife.
The opportunity of a car filled with British army officers, who were armed, frustrated the attempted abduction. The attackers were beaten off, and one of them was captured. Mumtaz, before being taken to a hospital, was able to identify her assaults, and they were later arrested at Indore.
Hindus Against Mahometans as Outcome
When the names of those involved became known, goulding dices of race had fared up throughout India For Baula, the plain merchant, was a Mahometan and a leader of his people. There are almost 70,000,000 Mahometans in India; deadly enemies of the Hindus, who predominate. The Maharajah Tukul Rao Holkar, Grand Knight of the Cross, Most Emulent Order of the Star of India, Knight Grand Commander of the Most Emulent Order of the Indian Empire, is one of the richest and most powerful of the 700 Hindu priests who pay rebutant allegiance to the British crown. He has absolute power over the 1,160,000 inhabitants of India and is fabulously wealthy. To prosecute the murderers of Baula and throw suspicion on the Maharajah will arouse resentment, among the other native priests.
To hesitate in the prosecution, when the facts in the case are common knowledge, would bring British justice into scorn, and anger the Mahometans, who are always resolute. Either way lies danger.
Will the Maharajah Finance Swaraj?
As the date of the Trial approaches
the aspect of the case becomes even
more serious than it appeared at first.
Word has been received from India
that C. H. I. ins. Hindu lawyer,
who shares with Gandhi the leadership
of the anti-British Swaraj movement,
has been retained by the Maharajah to
defend the accused men.
This is taken as an implied threat
that the Maharajah is allying himself
with the immense forces of the
Swaraj movement, and is willing to
give financial support. Hereofore
the Swaraj has not worried the British,
because its millions of adherents
are chiefly among the masses. If the
leaders had money it would be formidable.
The Maharajah of Indore could furnish
the necessary funds. From his
grandmother he inherited a board of
gold and jewels worth $30,000,000,
and has added to it.
As the Malabah Hill case goes to trial, it is apparent that the drama of the mautch girl is only beginning. A halom slave girl of the East encountered the flapper freedom of the West—and the detainment of a nation may be affected.

SWISS WOMAN DOCTOR FINDS PATERNITY TEST
Berlin.—A blood-test to aid in determining the paternity of a child has been discovered by a Swiss woman physician, Doctor Pluces.
Such a test is like to prove of the greatest importance in a court fight like the famous James Stilman divorce case, where the paternity of little Guy Stilman was one of the principal points at issue.
Miss Pluces has based her experience on the fact well known to medical science that, independent of race, age, sex or condition of health, and depending solely on the character of the blood, the human race divides itself into four kinds or groups, and that the blood of any one person agrees only with the blood of a person of the same group or kind. A mixture of the blood of two persons of different groups gives an entirely different reaction.
The differentiation is based on two characteristics of the red blood corpuscles, which are hereditary in such a fashion that they can show in the blood of the child only if they are already present.
If, therefore, the blood tests show that the child and the supposed father belong to the same blood group, the conclusion is justified that this particular man can be the father of this particular child.
If, however, the blood test shows that the blood of the child is different from the blood of the mother, as well as of that of the alleged father then the conclusion is justified that this particular man cannot be the father of this particular child.
The negative proof, therefore, is absolute and conclusive.
The positive proof, of course, is rather indelible and can be of value only in connection with other evidence as the identity of the father.
In the Swiss Medical Weekly, Miss. Pluss shows that in the cases of 330 children, from 120 mothers, on whom she tested this theory, complications in the paternity of the children were justified in 39 cases, unjustified in 2 cases.
This means that the test could be applied in at least one-fourth of the number of cases where the necessity of a cold is at issue. Washington Herald.

PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed.
There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalp and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

Health Rules for Babies By Black Cross Nurses
The Black Cross Nurses, of New York City have formulated the following health rules for babies, which we find good and which we have pleasure in giving a place in the columns of The Negro World:
Give the baby pure milk and give its feed regularly.
Keep everything connected with the baby absolutely clean. Cleanliness in the house counts for the baby's health. Lables that are not kept clean are usually not healthy.
Never allow the baby to get clamped. Keep its hands and feet warm.
Regulate the baby's day by the clock; everything about it should be attended to on schedule time.
Dishish the baby's food the moment signs of illness appear. Do not overfeed the baby.
Weigh the baby every week until it is a year old. The weight is an index to its health.
Every mother should get daily out door exercise especially in the warm weather. It means better health for baby, too.
Do not kiss, or allow the baby to be kissed too often. It thrives better with less kisses.
Do not amuse or play with the baby too much. Its daily regular course is all the stimulation its little brain needs at first.
Do not let too many different people take care of the baby. Even members of the same family make a baby nervous if they fuss around it too much.
Sick? Weak? Nervous? Irritable? Female trouble? Don't be discouraged. You can get back your health. Sit down and write to us now. In confidence. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman, because only a woman really undergains the sufferings of a woman. You need not send a penny. Just ask for the FREE 10-Day Treatment of Mrs. Summers Oubaline Remedy.
Easy to Use!
Test it for yourself; in your own home; privately.
It causes you no inconvenience, whether old or
young and does not interfere with your daily do-
tries. For more than 25 years, hundreds of women
have reported it successful even for the longest,
thought, with stubbornness. Thousands of your emirates have been, you can con-
tinue the treatments for about 126 per week. Sugely

42 Nations in World's Council of Women
WASHINGTON, May 4.—Delegates from forty-two countries are registered here for the opening tonight of the quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women.
Lady, Aberdeen, president of the council, which includes women's organizations all over the world, arrived Saturday with a large party of foreign delegates.
A feature of the convention will be a "peace and war" pageant, while exhibits on peace—and the League of Nations also will be arranged. Miss Phillip North Moore, president of the United States Council, which is host to the delegates, recently denied charges by the chairman of a New York woman's organization that the council would present a program of propaganda for the league.
Resolutions dealing with a number of international topics, including the league, already acted upon by individual councils within the International body, are to be placed before a resolutions committee and are exciting much speculation among the delegates.
Bertland Stern, aged 18, made an eloquent pathetic address at a flag rally in Madison Square Garden, New York, recently and it was broadcasted by radio to thousands of other listeners. He received many compliments on his speech from far and near.

A Baby In Your Home
MOTHER AND BABY
A mother and baby are shown in a tender embrace. The mother is seated, wearing a dark dress with a light-colored collar, and holding the baby in her arms. The baby is lying on her back, with its head resting on the mother's chest. The mother's hands are placed gently on the baby's head, and her eyes are closed in a peaceful expression. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, providing a neutral backdrop for the scene.
The image is likely a historical photograph, given the style of the clothing and the quality of the image. It could be from the early 20th century, a period when maternal care was a significant focus in public health and family life. The image may have been used to illustrate a concept or theme related to motherhood and care.

REMEDIOS, CUBA
On Easter Sunday there was a fine celebration in our Liberty Hall, in remembrance of the One who died for the redemption of sinners. There were two services for the occasion. A pleasant afternoon starting at 2 P. M. and a Silver Tree starting at 7.50 P. M. The participants on the afternoon program were the children of the Juvenile School of this division, who entertained us with time recitations, dialogues and songs. The program of the Silver Tree was rendered by members and friends of our division. The hall was crowded to capacity, standing room only being left. Great appreciation was shown by the gathering for our little ones, by the hearty manner in which they cheered them. The Silver Tree was decorated with the Red, Black and Green which made a fine display. The Red which was represented by Miss I. Forrestythe took the first place, the Miss E. Steward the second, and the Green by Miss E. Thompson the third. We give great credit to Miss Ilyle Foster, one of the stars of our juvenile school, for the mastery manner in which she entertained us. We recommend her as one to whom we may look forward for a bright future through the support and encouragement of her parents and the division. We also recommend Miss Porline Small, an associate member of our division, who thrilled us with music during the services. We coagulate her. She exhibited exceptional talent. At the close of the Silver Tree service an election was held at which the following officers were elected: Mr. J. Mitchell, president; Mr. C. A. Robinson, vice-president; Mrs. E. Murray, lady president; Mrs. W. O. Small, executive secretary; Mrs. Geo. H. S. Reid, general secretary; Miss E. Thompson, treasurer, pro. tem.

The mass meeting on Sunday, April 19, opened in the usual form with prayer by the Chaplain, Reserend Clark. The aims and objects of the organization were outlined by the president, Warren L. Kee. There were many good speakers, but above all we enjoyed the address made by the juvenile boys from the New York Dylvision. The first juvenile to speak was Mr. Frank Butcher, commanding officer of the Patrol Department Juvenile Cadet Corps. His words were very encouraging. He urged the members to press forward and stick to the aims and objects of Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The next speaker, also a juvenile was Mr. D. K. James, artist of the Universal Cadet and Juvenile Corps He said that Mr. Garvey is the best friend the black man has ever had and that we should stick to him at all times. The next speaker was Mr. Alfonso McCaskie, private of the Universal Cadet Corps. He said that Negroes have been asleep long enough and it is time we should wake up to the sense of our predicament as a people, and stand as one. These juveniles were not expecting to speak but at all times we welcome off sisters and brothers to the Newark, Division. We enjoyed their remarks because we see they are the coming Garveyites. They are the cities who will take our works when we are beneath the sod. We were favored with a solo from Miss Ruth Finch, a juvenile. Our new Captain James stated that he wanted the Red, Black and Green to float in Newark on Decoration Day. He gave us some very important information. We hope to have the whole division in the parade on Decoration Day. We want to turn out 100 per cent-strong and show the enemies of the work that Garvey may be in fall but his spirit is Newark. The president, W. L. Kee, presided at this meeting.

The Woodbine Division held a very encouraging mass meeting on Sunday, April 5, with the president in the chair. An interesting program was rendered. The president and chaplain spoke at length on the work of the organization and all felt encouraged and inspired. Our division is small because our city is small but the spirit of the organization is strong here and we are undivided in our determination to support our leader and the work of the organization. We will continue to follow the Honorable Marcus Garvey and no enemies of the organization can do anything to stop the progress of the work here.

Spanish Section
Tomando en consideración los centenares de miles de pesos, a la disposición de aquellos que luchan en nuestra contra, intentando destruir nuestra propaganda, lo poco que hemos invertido en propagar nuestro ideal, probar en el futuro el ser una de las inversiones más solidas realizada por pueblo alguno. Aquellos que siguen paso a paso el curso de los acontecimientos no pueden pasar por desaperoibido y convencerse de que nuestra organización lleva a la realización una grande y gloriosa obra, cuya influencia será sinceramente revelada por el historiador en un porvenir colmado de lisonias.
Abogando por la libertad de nuestro leader—Africanos nativos cancelan toda demostración de bienvenida—Su congreso declara "Africa para los Africanos"—La labor de la organización en sus seis primeros años produce su fruto en Africa—Nuestro elemento en el hemisferio occidental debe cooperar
De nuestras divisiones
LAS M1NAS, Cuba—En la manana del 10 de Abril, viernes santo, esta division demostro una vez más la popularidad de que es objeto, como recompensa de sus grandes esfuerzos. No solamente entre los miembros de esta, sino que también en casi toda la comunidad reinhaba la expectación del programa del dia. Las vias hacia el Liberty Hall, se veían concurridas con el gran número de personas, causando ello una grata impresión que ha de permanecer grabada por largo tiempo, en la mente de todos y cada un de los miembros de esta division.
Nuestro honorable presidente general se halla en su retiro altamente satisfecho con las demostracciones de entusiasmo y espléndida lealtad que por la causa de su emancipación nuestra raza desplega universamente. El quere hacer saber a sus hermanos de raza, que el mejor lenitivo para sus sufrimientos es la unión sólida y el patrocinio del programa de un Africa redimida, con la constitución de su gobierno como gran objetivo.
Desde su encarcelamiento, nada que haya ocurrido en el fragor de nuestras luchas por nuestro ideal, ha impresionado al gran leader con satisfactoriamente, haciéndole sentir que sus esfuerzos no han sido vanos, como la actitud manifestada recientemente por los nativos de Africa, en su determinación de soportar los principios de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, y la reconquista de sus derechos para vivir como seres humanos, en un Africa propia dirijida y gobernada por africanos nativos.
Se llevaba a cabo en dicho dia la inauguración del Capitulo791. To do estaba ya convenientemente preparado, y un gran número de delegados de las divisiones de Nuevitas, Elia y Florida vinieron a dar mayor realize a la celebración del acto, el cual se vio colmado con el más alto grado de cordura y alegría. A las doce y media en punto el presidente de la division. Sr. S. C. Alexander, ascendió a la plataforma y con tres golpes del malte indico la apertura del acto. En breves palabras dio la bienvenida y las gracias por la asistencia a aquella celebración, introduciendo como presidente de la mesa en aquella ocasion al Sr. S. Stephenson, presidente de la división de Nuevitas.
En el Africa del sur sus habitantes se han revelado en contra del mal tratamiento de que han sido victimas, de parte de los intrusos. Veintidos mil nativos se han declarado en luelga como resentimiento en contra de la intención del gobierno británico en paralizar la fabricación de la cerveza en el país. En Marruecos, como todos sabemos, una y otra vez las huestes invasoras han sido humilladas por el valor y la determinación de las tribus guerreras, mientras en la parte más septentrional del país los espartanos del presente se han levantado en armas, en contra de la dictadura detestable de otras naciones.
Después de tomar posición de su cargo, el Sr. *Stephenisen* en breve discurso hizo elogios de la vida, labor y sacrificios de nuestro leader, el honorable Marcus Garvey. *Terminado este, los miembros de la Legión y de la Black Cross Nurses marcharon hacia el frente y luego de saludar la bandera quedaron, en alicenición. *Dos misiones una señal de la presidencia, corrieron el velo que curiba la Carta Constitutional, y la audiencia puesta de pie entonado el himno "Etiopia, tierra de nuestros padres." El secretario dio lectura a dicha garta y terminada esta sevo de nuevo el velo del malte sobre la mesa. "Tocaba al ministro su bendición.

Ellas son los emblemas de nuestro anheliado nacionalismo, y como tales deben ser estimadas en lo más intimo de nuestro ser.
Y ultimamente llega la noticia cablegrifica al "Tiempo" de esta cuidad, de que el Principe de Gales, quien en no lejano dia ha de verse colocado a la cabeza del imperio británico, ha sido boycotizado por los nativos como protesta en contra de los hechos perpetrados por el pueblo de quien el es el simbolo viviente; y que el encarcelamiento de Marcus Garvey ha anadido calor al sentimiento de emancipación, que se haya actualmente esparcido por la superficie de todo el continente africano. El cable en cuestión apareció en dicha publicación del siguiente modo: Nativos de Durban cancelan toda demostración de
Johannesburg, Africa del sur, abril 21. — Grandes manifestaciones de protesta en refencia a la matanza en Bloemfontein fueon hechas en un congreso de nativos hoy. Unánimemente se adoptó una resolución para ordenar a todos los pueblos africanos, el que se eximan de hacer demostración alguna de bienvenida al Principe inglés, como protesta en contra de la villana matanza de inocentes é indefensos por los europeos. El congreso adoptó además una moción para pedir al gobierno de los Estados Unidos de America clemencia para Marcus Garvey. Durante la discusión de la moción, el presidente del congreso dijo: "El momento ha de llegar cuando nosotros adoptemos en concretiones resoluciones de esta naturaleza, gústele ó no al hombre blanco. No hay que dejarse guiar por las habladurias de que este será otro país para los blancos. Ello será'imposible. Este es un país para negros y así ha de permanecer."
Eran ya las tres de la tarde y el ministro auuncio un intermedio, después del cual se consumaria un programa especial, incluyendo mensajes de las divisions por los delegados allí presentes. Entre los numeros de númera figuran en un solo por la presidenta de la division Sta. C. Banner, la preciosa oda "El fue clavado en la cruz" cantada por la Sta. Baxter y el Sr. Stephenson y los himnos cantados por el coro, bajo la dirección del Sr. E. Humphrey. Mercee ademas especial mención el poema escrito y recitado por la Sta. L. Forrester.

Niguna persona con algún sentido común ha de creer por un momento que el cable transcrito, es un reporte-fiel de lo 'acontecido en Johannesburg el 21 de abril ultimo; sin embargo, esa misma noticia convencer a los que aun dudan, que la emancipación del Africa es un proyecto practicable y que la idea de Marcus Garvey de un "Africa para los africanos dentro y fuera del continente," es el toque de llamada de un patriota, de un estadista y de un gran pensador. El Africa será redimida; el Africa tiene que ser redimida; y su redención será encarriada por la ayuda que sus descendientes en el nuevo mundo de sus hermanos en aquella patria. El espíritu destructor en contra de los grandes ideales, gracias a la Providencia, no prevalece generalmente en la masa de nuestro pueblo en este país.
La conferencia americana de mujeres, que.acaba de reunir aquí, fue atendida por delegadas oficiales de la Argentina, Brasil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Mejico, Puerto Rico y Uruguay, y adenas delegadas extraficiales del Peru y el Ecuador.

El programa de la conferencia concierre principalmente al progreso político de la mujer en los países americanos. Doctor L. E. S. Rowe, director de la Union Panamericana de Washington, en titular dirigido a las delegadas, dijo lo siguiente: Es una verdadera inspiración la reunión de las mujeres de las Américas para considerar los muchos problemas que son tan vitales al bioterror de la mujer de ooos continuas. Siempre he creído que el movimiento panamericano incomplete minimos la mujer de las Américas coordinativa con su paria en el eloquio del apelito de coopración y ayuda muta que los supelden del coopéración americana.

A la hora de los postres se levantó el ex-secretario Redfield; quien recordó que los Estados Unidos nacieron en la probreza y del sufrimiento; como nació Cuba. Dijo que leyendo documentos históricos se ve que Washington carecia de zapatos, ropa, polvora y otros efectos para su ejecución. y que penso refugiarse del otro lado del Mississippi para fundar alla una nació independiente caso de que fracasara la revplución. Hablo de la prosperidad actual de Cuba und parallelo que habla entre Coolidge y Machado por la enorme mayoria de votos que les eligió.
Tocó el turno al presidente de la Sociedad de Arbitraje, quien informó de su visita a Cuba y del momento emocionante que experimentó al hablar ante la camara de concerio americana de Cuba y la Sociedad Económica cubana remila, de cuya reunión resultado una resolución que lace sin duda realizables y con un la solución de las disputas comerciales por el arbitraje, ahgr rando así enorma cantidad de tiempo y dinero y evitando reencores. Mencionó los generales Machado y Herrera que los proceres cubanos que arriesgaron su vida en el vampo de lucha por la libertad de su patriot y hoy la dedican a contribuir a su prosperidad.
El secretario presentó al presidente electo de Cuba quien se levitó a hablar entre grandes gala-sos. Dijo que, aunque había escrito un discurso que estaba fraduido y leería el Dr. Carlos Manuel de Cepedes, no podía por menos de dirigir la palabra directamente a los presentes antes de que se leyera su discurso impreso. Empezo diciendo que habia venido a este país para fortalecer las relaciones de amistad que existen entre Cuba y los Estados Unidos, agregando que considera que ambas naciones deben guardar el más alto-respeto por las relaciones del mundo, pero muy especialmente entre los dos países, de las que dependen principalmente su prosperidad.
Dijo que no hablaba solamente el presidente electo de Cuba, sino el cubano que habia luchado por la libertad de su patria al lado de americanos. Dijos que Cuba ha resuelto sus problemas políticos con alto respeto al sufrimiento y que ahora resolverá también sus problemas económicos. Manifesto que espera que cuando se retua el Congreso de Cuba puerta enviarle un mensaje recomendando aprobue una resolución semejante a la aprobada por el congreso de aqui a recondenación de Coolidge, en relación con el arbitrario comercial entre los dos miemones.

ALGIERS, March 21.—in spite of the alarming reports sent out by newspaper correspondents about trouble being expected to arise with the Arab tribes, Algeria is tranquil and so is modern Morocco, the portion of that country under French protection.
Field Marshal Layutey, the French Resident General, whose headquarters is at Rabat, claims that Morocco is as safe today to travel in as any country in Europe, and Oscar Cauchois of New York, who has just returned from his annual two months' trip into the Sahara Desert, told me that he felt safer in the lonely roads, through Algeria at midnight, than he did in the streets of the Empire City of the West-eastern Hemisphere.
For a hundred years conditions in Morocco had been chaotic and life and property were never safe. It was a war that began in 1885, and the sultans were either deposed or poisoned. With 1,000 French soldiers Marshal Layutey has restored order out of chaos, built roads, and business being carried out in all parts of the country without interruption.
The lightning still going oil in the mountains Bliff country between its people and the Spaniards, but that is a hundred miles away from the automobile routes which have been established throughout Algeria and Morocco by the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, known generally in the United States as the French Line, H. Morin de Limoilais, the director general of the company in North Africa, told me today that 5,000 tourists have taken the automobile trips this season, booking directly through the company and another 5,000 booked by Thomas Cook and Son, the American Express and other travel companies. American, he said, who made their reservations in New York, Paris and the Riviera, Mr. de Limoilais said that the majority of the tourists went through Algeria and Tunisia and into the Sahara Desert in the broad six-wheeled automobiles, which were very comfortable travelling.
The travel in Morocco has been less for two reasons, he added, first, because of the sensational reports about the fighting in the Riff country, and secondly, because the country has not been advertised for years in all parts of Europe and America as Algeria and Tunisia, and has not been well visited, the director general said, but are not half as interesting as the old towns in Morocco. Fez, the capital of that country, which was formerly almost unreachable to foreigners unless they were accompanied by an escort of fifty Moroccan soldiers, can now be reached in a day by automobile from coast ports like Algiers or Tunisia without fetter. When he is too great by day the traveling is done at night, which is always cool in Northern Africa.
The French administration will not permit a single European town to be erected in Fez, in order that the old city may, remain in its ancient Orientale state, with crooked, narrow streets in which the houses overlap and the sunlight barely penetrates. The natives have come to regard the tourists as a source of income, and find it more profitable to take their feats than throw stones at the virola, although there is less sport in it. The automobile has conquered the prejudices of the Arabs. They realize that it is better to send their goods in two days by motor trucks than in the carriage. The old-distressed camel caravan, which was liable to be captured by rohbora on the road, Big motor coaches have taken the place of the ancient fourhorse diligence-which used to connect the out-of-the-way towns and villages in Algeria with the central railroad points.
Some of them are divided into three classes—first and second in the body of the coach, which are used by Europeans, and third class on the roof, used by Arabis. Qathara are devoted to the use of Arabis only, and are packed inside and out all the time. It is a strange sight to see the sons of the desert in their white barns and turbans rushing to get in at the market place on the New York train to get into the subway train at Times Square in the rush hours. The Arab today would sell his horse or steal his neighbors in order to get a ride in the motor coach. It fascinates him to whale along the hard white roads at twenty-five or thirty miles an hour.
Only the men travel. It is not good for women, their husbands say. When the suffer sego go out with their yawnemals on they walk. This generally occurs on a Friday, when the Moelum women, go to the cemetery, and sit on the tomba to discuss the soundels of the past week in their set-as to how many times Arroha's husband has beaten her; how the aunt of the plumk Pamah got the money to buy her now strifht of bands, and other goods of interest to the little groups of chatterbums. Moelum women are not allowed to enter the mongues because they have no coache on the men day. The old men and women do all the work in the country outside the cities and town, except the shoppers who come along the highways after their flights of sleep and goose. The French have kept the old ple
twosome Arab quarter of Algeria, accompanied by the Kasab; with its narrow, steep streets and quiet odees which seem even older than the stones of the houses.
Restaurants are still kept in caves built under the houses about the site of an innovation-trunk where the Arab chef gita crouched up leaning over a brasler on which he broils. tiny bits of lamb stuck on a wooden skiff little meat balks which he rolls up with his hands and when one drops on the ancient floor the chef picks it up and dubs the delicacy off with his apron before putting it on the broiler again.
Americans come ashore from the cruising steamships and gaze with interest at the stone walls of the old citadel made famous by the Dey Abulghazi of Algiers who said the utter depravity of the Christians drove him to tears and he had to hang twelve of them every morning. before kouzou kouzou to keep his heart from breaking. The worst of the world until Commodores Decatur with his wooden ships made them respect the American flag in the early part of the last century. Algiers has clean, wide streets and fine stores, with office buildings, street cars and plenty of taxis—until a cruiser comes in from New York and lands 400 tourists who commander them all and the residents have to walk until they have gone away.
Oscar Chauchols in the leader of a small group of New Yorkers who comp each year to *Algeria*, and put on Arab costumes which they go for their meals. They sit on couches and live on dates, dried *huius*, kouzou-koug and other dishes peculiar to the Northern Sahara beyond Tougen.
At first Mr. Chauchois used to try and explain that he was not a real Shelk when American tourists on a camel riding over the sand lifted up the flap of his tent and asked where his haven was. No, he just puffs at his narrowly and tells them to go away in Arabic, which is "Emphese", repeated three or four times in a stern manner with a deep guttural accent. Smoking, the magnificent is quite an art. The first deep puff inflated by the victim fills his lungs, eyes, throat and air system with acid smoke, which causes him to haunt suddenly become a human volcano. The second inhalation from the big brass mouthpiece afflicted to the tumour of the huge pipe causes a desire to die immediately, without saying good-bye to any one on earth. The third puff from the strong Persian tobacco, kept alight by a piece of charcoal and supposedly cooled by the water in the lower part of the pipe, around a feeling in the victim to destroy every living thing in sight.
EMIGRANTS SHOULD BE EXAMINED ABROAD
Many Spend the Savings of a Life Time to Buy Passage Here and Can't-Meet the Tests and Must Return to the Old Death
"From the New York World
The humane arguments in favor of the Department of Labor's plan to examine immigrants abroad are obvious. The suffering caused by the present system is notorious and needs no rehearsing. But there is another argument in favor of the plan which bears directly on our whole policy toward aliens. With a more efficient system to effect will not the immigrant approach us in a totally different mood from that which governs him at present. Consider what this means. We spend much time, money, and thought on what is called direct immigration. We wish with all the hope to become good citizen, to learn our speech and respect our laws. But we start this work under a heavy handcake. Before we reach him with our benevolence he has already been embittered by the stupid formalities incidental to his admission. When he made up his mind to come here he was in a friendly frame of mind. He had heard of America as the land of promise and made his plans with hope running high. If we could have resisted him then our work would have been effective. But for a solid month he has been having harrassing experiences. Medical examinations, questions, a long wait, and a lot of trouble by the fact that no arrogant he might find all his effort expended in vain. When he finally steps forth among him he is in a hostile frame of mind, suspicious of what his new hosts may have in store for him.
But with examinations ended on the other side, with all uncontainment, behind him, he would be a very different person. The trip across the ocean, instead of being an agony of waiting, would be a memorable experience; the tisque of Liberty, instead of being a mockery, would symbolise what it supposed to symbolise. We would get him at what is called the psychological moment under these circumstances? Much considerations apply not only to single immigrant here and there, but to every immigrant we receive. Whether they some cubs or storage, every one of them, as things are now, has uncertainty hanging over his head, and inevitably thinks our mother about the hospitality of the land that is to receive him. We admit about 18,000 alms a month, so that what we do in a matter of some importance.

Manager Way Miller has written in promoter George L. "Tiger" Richard and, W. S. Farmanworth, offering the services of his organizational, fighter, "Tiger" Flowers/free of all charges, as the opponent of Montague or Drab in a fifteen-round fight to a decision on this year's Milk Fund Benefit card.
Miller made the same offer for last year's show for Harry Greb. The offer was ignored, and Ted Moore selected to oppose Greb. Since this match Flowers has faced both Greb and Moore in no-decision contest, and easily defeated them both in the opinion of the newspaper agarica covering these matches.
Miller claims that, outside of Jack Duck (who is the only man to defeat Flowers in the past two years), the "finger" is the most logical contender for the middle or light heavyweight titles.
London. — Persistent opponents of summer time are never tired of asserting that it "deprives people of their natural sleep." This is all very well; but not nobody yet has defined when we ought to "sleep and how many hours." Many people sleep for too much; and it is a well-known scientific fact that excessive sleep diminishes the nervous energy and degenerates the small arteries and capillaries of the brain, says the Continental edition of the Moll.
Sleepiness is generally a sign of mental lethargy; neither Sancho Panza nor the Fat Boy in *Pickwick* outstanding examples, of "doughy sleepers," nor not noticeably brilliant, John Sinclair famous, that too deep sleep "blints and deserves genres, and renders both the body and mind quiet for action." Sir Herbert Weibl, the author of "Longevity and the Prollegation of Life," blames the habit of sleeping more than eight hours for the premature decay of mental faculties.
Many men of active brain are satisfied with little sleep. John Wesley was up at 4 o'clock every morning. Imanuel Kant slept very little, re-marking that much sleep exhausts the energy and shortens time. The latter conclusion is borne out by the fact that many long lived people spent but a short space of their time in bed.
Sir Julius Benedict slept only four hours a night, and lived to be 81. Sir Henry, Thompson, who lived to 60 years old, was a busy physician who tended social gatherings every night. Yet he found the time to write several large books on medical subjects, and began this to be in his study at six every morning.
Eminent barristers like Lord Reading and Lord Burkhead were entertaining or being entertained socially every night. Yet they would also at 4 or 5 in the morning and do several housework on their briefs before going into court at 10.
Commendable Housing Projects
A number of interesting real estate and housing developments for spared people are now going on in Southern cities, managed and financed entirely by members of the colored group. A notable example of such enterprises is that in Buchau, N.E., under the leadership of such men as G. C. Spindler, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest colored insurance company in the world. Similar projects are under way in Atlanta, Birmingham and Augusta. The purpose of the promoters in every case seems to be primarily to provide good homes for colored people at reasonable prices and on easy terms, rather than to make all the money possible out of the enterprise. It is a significant movement and one which should be encouraged.

About one and a half miles from Ekwigwa, forty-five miles on the Tonto River, Nigeria. West Africa, could be seen a big two-story building and hundreds of little cottages scattered here and there, and leaving this place from the distance one is at once reminded of the West Indies, since most of the houses are covered with other shingles or galvanized sheets and are of modern identical with those I have seen in places such as Grenada, Trinidad, Bahamas and Jamaica.

FOR
Our ship was at an anchor in the port of Egwana, called "poho" by the whites. The quartermaster had struck eight beats. A few seconds later there was a terrific page, one was reminded of the days spent on the banks of the Suez canal, in Egypt; during, 1915, "Bum, bum, bum," twenty-one times I counted. "What are they telling those guns for?" I asked a native man who had just boarded the ship from his canoe. In his own way he replied, "Every day," I check, the twenty-one guns, everybody remember. Najja, "What is the name of that place?" was my next question. "Poho," he replied. "But if this is Poho, how can that be Poho also?" I insisted. "This no Poho. This Egwana." White man still Poho, no Poho. Whole Poho, got one white man; he assumed me.
"Who is Jane?" I asked. "Jaja good man long time Jaja king Poho. No afraid white man Long time white man come Alef, go Logos, go Romy, go Cobar Poho no go, Jaja too much tight. White man," he declared, "no good, till Jaja no want make fight, write paper make peace, Jaja go ship, warship, same time, Ship go England, carry Jaja. Heart no good, Jaja dead, before dead make paper white man come Egwanza, but Poho no go," he stated.
"I see, so you first twenty one gums every day in his memory. Suppose I want to go to Poho, will they let me go ashore there?" I required, "Yes, yes, you me," rubbing his skin with his inges, "same—you go Poho, white man go." Suppose you carry white man, what happened?" I asked, "Suppose the carry white man—too much trouble, no good," he declared, "Want go Poho!" he required, "Why, yes. As soon as I am ready I will let you know," "All right, me wait." he admitted me.
Having served dearest, I left my assistant, a native of Minneapolis, Liberia, to eight things one and in a few minutes I found myself in a small piece of woodskin, large enough for two, but as I thought, comfortable enough for one, on our way to the home town of our great, and never to be forgotten Jamaica King of Jamaica, Nigeria, West Africa. The skipper of this one man vessel rowed straight across the wide and navigable Jamaica river, then covered the mile and a half distance to Juba just a few yards from the land, which made me feel a great deal easier.

than I felt at first, as I felt sure I would have been able to swim the distance, had things turned out as I expected. The skiff, the skipper and myself, however, eventually reached Pobo, dry and safe.
"So this is the home of Taja, King of Pobo," I said, as I jumped out of the canoe. "Yes, sir," replied my native brother and guide. "Come, go see, and away we went from one house to another, introducing me to everybody and telling them in his own tongue what he thought of me. The pleasantness and enthusiasm of the people convinced me that my friend had told them good things about me and that I was not looked upon as an undesirable, as though I was a white man. Pobo has no streets or roads; the land is simply cleared of trees and brushes and houses built here and there for some distance. The people are very cheerful and friendly, but lament very deeply the ultimately end of their here—Jaja, King of Pobo.
In view of the sentiment of the people of Poho, as was expressed to me, the absence of white men did not surpass me. Poho does not fly the Union air, but its own flag of independence, the flag of King Jama, on the most head of the big two-every building which is its "black house." Its highness, the Prince of Wales, presume, will not visit Poho, Nigeria. There are no plagues in Poho, there however, a good deal of gun powder and a good many guns in Poho, and unlike other points on the Gold Coast, Nigeria and on the Cameroon, there are no white men in Poho. And it is the proclaiming of Lord King of Poho, who takes care of these guns and threaten oft twenty-one times daily at 12 o'clock in his memory—the Prince will hardly ever visit Poho, Nigeria.
WASHINGTON, April 29. Serious overcrowding of the Federal penitentiaries at Atlanta and Leavenworth due solely to increased numbers of viciousness of the predation and antimarcate laws, will be the subject of conferences between wardens of these prisons and L.C. White, superintendent of the Divisions of Prisons and Paroles of the Department of Justice, beginning this week. Mr. White expects to leave Atlanta to see Warden Smook on Friday.
Leavenworth and Atlanta prisons are each caring for several hundred more prisoners than they have collected. At Leavenworth there are now about 3,200 prisoners, and at Atlanta there are about 3,200. Temperary dormitories may be provided.
Mr. White will attend meetings of the parole baggage while he is away from Washington, and also will inspect both prisoners. The seriousity of the problem results from the fact that there are at this time no appropriations available; structural additions. Nor is there any prospect of thinning the ranks of the convicts.
The Supreme Court recently refused to review the cases of more than forty persons at Glory, Ind, the last including a former mayor and several lawyers, all of whom must serve time. About fifty Chicago policemen were ordered to Atlanta for violating the Volunteer law.
The prison staff find their resources entirely inadequate. The immediate solution probably will be tedious quarters. Such accommodations doubtless would be regarded as undisable for prisoners of the daring of Gerald Chapman, but officials believe they are many convicts who can be quartered thus with safety.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925
THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
To the Editor of The Negro World.
Why am I here? Why should I or any man live on? Am I playing any worthy part in life about me? Am I contributing anything worth while to my family, my friends, my trade, profession or community?
Surely these are days that afford us a chance to truly be and to do things. What worth while task awaits us? How varied the wrongs which need to be righted?
Perhaps our homes are now waiting for a touch of cleansing. Perhaps the sanctuary needs our prayers and energies. The community may be calling for our services. Services and now waiting for our wi-fi, on and our hands for their solution. Why am I or any man here? Surely to live for leness, selfish luxury, or ease. I am here to receive an allowance from all that is purest and noblest round about me and from the limitless realm of the Unseen.
And then, it and all men, are here to point that stream of life, the highest, holest, most ideal intellectual, moral and spiritual life, so the lives of others; into the life of the community, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the world over. And, finally, I am here to live that looking back from life's close I shall have the sweet consciousness that I have fixed worthy of all the powers, with which God endowed me. The world has had hosts of men and women who have lived in harmony with such a three-fold purpose. The world has hosts of such today. And we are here to climb the mount for our pattern and to enjoy all life in accordance with the pattern which God has shown to us.

Wants a Government of Our Own in Africa
To the Editor of The Negro World
A negro government on the continent of Africa to protect every member of the race is one of the chief aims of the U.N.A.L. Although the race has been so insecure as to find itself in such an environment, the U.N.A.L. inspired and led by President General Garvey, has imbued faith that it will free itself from every obstacle that impedes its advance to nationhood, racial independence, and the possession of our mother land, Africa.

Wants More Ships and Willing to Chip In
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I beg to call special attention to the Committee of Management to a letter written by Mr. K. L. Island of Curaçao da Xelia, Cuba, in or about the 7th ultime, in which he suggested to the millions of members the world over to fall in with his suggestion by making a present to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company by each member giving $1. But my suggestion is to make no hunt as there are some members who can't afford more than $2, while others can give $20. Let every member give as he or she is disposed. All we want is for the Committee to forward the suggestion to our Chief for his immediate consideration and decision on the front page of The Negro World.
We want our Chief to feel that we appreciate his services tendered to us for the last six years, awakening us from slumber and clearing the booms from our eyes, as now we are walking with our heads up, as other people.
May God give Mr. Garvey more faith to endure, more knowledge to lead us, and more understanding to carry on the good work that has just begun.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I am only thirteen years old but I am interested in the program of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. My mother is a contributor to the cause Africa, and I am now going to second the motion of Mr. R. B. G. Blackett by sending one dollar of my first after school earnings for the B. C. N. T. Co. this week. My mother sent her donation a few weeks ago, and intends to send more to help in this great cause. Someone suggested, this plan already and my mother answered the call.

Expects the Association
We do not fear the enemies of the Universal Negro improvement Association because they cannot prevail. The launching of the S. S. Booker T. Washington and the incarceration of the Hon Marcus Garvey, our Reader, will certainly enable us to aspire to the zenith of success. And at no distant date nearly all enemies will become friends.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
I sympathize greatly with our noble leader, Marcus Moson, whom God has chosen to lead his people to a free and redeemed Africa and who is now be-
hind the prison bars, beating punishment for his race.
Let us pray for his release, for prayer is the key that unlocks the door of injustice. With all our struggles, and difficulties in God's time the prison bark will be broken when this program of the U. N. L. A. is going to be put over, when the glories of Ethiopia will be restored, when Garveyism will be scattered around the globe.

To the Editor of The Negro World:
"Please allow me a small space in the columns of 'your valuable paper' to sanction a very wise idea that would set the marine department of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on a basis of success in a very short time. No better suggestion can be put forth than that of Mr. Thomas H. Movielton, Spanish Honduras. If every division and every chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in the United States of America, in the West Indies, in Africa, in Central and South America and else, where, will only collect from each member, $1.00, surely within a few months, some more ships can be launched by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company without the slightest burden being felt. I am quite certain that all the members of this great organization will be willing to produce their $1.00 each at the very first "call" of the Parent Body. I can, without hesitation whatever, "pledge the members of Livingston Chapter to give their aid in this respect viewing from their loyal standpoint. I am ready with my $1.00 at the first sound of your bugle."

facts, expressed itself as surprised and indignant at such public pursuit of the private vendetta and condemned Judge Williams's for the judicial indecency of trying his enemy without a jury and for the "crude injustice Gallas tough stuff" of condemning an editor to jail in the United States Virgin Islands for a mild comment which no Judge or jury outside of a grazy house would ever take juristic cognizance of in the continental United States.
How does Judge Williams proceed to square himself with American public opinion? First, he quotes the case of another Negro editor in the islands by the effect that in another case "his Honor Judge Williams displayed an even and fair-minded attitude toward the evidence added," and adds that "with this master stroke he has made

friends of all his enemies." And Judge Williams falls to see the humor of the thing! The clear implication of the last-quoted sentence is that for Judge Williams to display fair-mindedness is so unique, so unusual a procedure, that it constitutes a "master stroke" on his part. Then there is the further implication that it was his failure to display fair-mindedness that had made him enemies among the people. These implications are clear and striking. Set the able naval Judge is just so dense that he can't see it, and even cites it as an argument in a case where, even without these implications, its evidential value would be nil. But we must remember that Judge Williams halls from the South (from Baltimore), and that the South (as H. L. Mencken, himself a Southerner, tells us), is the most backward section of the country intellectually and spiritually.
The second "argument" of the unlearned Judge is even funnier; certainly it is more dishonest: he cites an article published in the Baltimore Sun by a correspondent ashamed to disclose his identity, which he hides carefully behind the jithals "H. O.," and which identity Judge Williams carefully conceals, although he professes to have met the man from his own city and talked and dined with him. Personally, I suspect that the correspondent is none other than Judge Williams himself. But that is only my suspicion. "Be that as it may, the unlearned Judge says that the nameless newspaper man says that there was no disagreement about the fairness of the conviction of Francis, the elder. Of course, there wasn't between him and the Judge, between Tweedledeen and Tweedledeen. But that is his near as Judge Williams gets in his four serves to the "facts" "Teaching on" and "appertaining to" the "case for which he was censured by the "Nation" and every other decent American periodical.
When this side believe that if Judge Williams' serveed to the various periodicals could be laid before President Coolidge, without a single word being uttered in rebellion for the side of the people whom he attacks, the President would see such obvious brainlessness, such lack of legal logic, such ignorance of judicial propriety, that he would realize how great a blunder was made when Williams was made Judge; and he might even be moved, in the interest of preserving respect for white men's intellects, to remove this ignorant and incompetent naval propagandist from the bench of the island. For it is not seemly that black men should see how pitifully poor brains some white men can become. If we must have white men to rule over us, let them at least be of such caliber that even if we don't like them we can't despise them.

EAST AFRICA'S GREAT WEALTH BARELY TAPPED
Educator Says 300,000 Square Miles of Healthy Area Ready for Modern FarmingAmerican Methods of Rural Education to Be Introduced
From the New York Times
In East Africa, where the perils of
deadly diseases and savage people are
fast becoming a memory of the past,
the potentialities for production of
wealth "almost surpass the power of
human comprehension," according to
Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chairman of
the Phleps-Stokes Fund Educational
Commission to East Africa, who arrived
here yesterday on the United
Linear Caramaria from Liverpool. Dr
Jones recently completed in London a
report of his commission's eight
months' survey of conditions in East
Africa.
On his arrival here he predicted that before many months the American system of rural education as taught by United States farm demonstrators, and by deanes Fund teachers, would be adopters in East Africa. Representatives of the British Colonial Office already are in the United States visiting Negro schools and studying American methods of rural education which they intend to adopt in East Africa.
Dr. Jones said: "East Africa's arable average, exclusive of South Africa, may in time almost equal that of the United States, being an area three and a half times the total surface of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. East Africa, north of the Tanganywal, contains 200,000 square miles of high plateaux, free of tropical diseases and capable of producing the crops of the temperate zone. Its possibilities are strikingly illustrated by the fact that two years ago in the Protectione of Uganda about 100 bales of cotton were produced, and last year probably less than 100 bales, whereby the estimate for this year approximates 200,000 bales.
"The appointment of the British Colonial Office's Advisory Committee on Native Education in Tropical Africa really begins a new era in African affairs." Dr. Jones pointed out. "This committee already has given a fresh significance to educational undertakings for the African people." Other Colonial powers will undoubtedly follow Great Britain in this direction.
"The commission found the belief current that education, as generally understood, is usually a decorative process unrelated to the life and needs of primitive people. A popular pastime of travelers to and from Africa is the exchange of jokes and ridicule concerning the 'mission boys' who are said to represent the futility and harm

of educating natives away from their place in the colonial scheme arranged by Western civilization / for the Africans. Careful inquiry into the origin of these antagonistic attitudes reveals a lamentable ignorance of an education related to the simple needs even of primitive people.
To avoid the appearance either of pedantry or scientific abstraction, these necessities of sound community life are called the 'simples' of education. They are, first, sanitation and health; second, agriculture and simple industry; third, the decencies and safetyes of the home, and fourth, healthful reeducation. Nowhere, has the commission found a difference of opinion as to the, importance of these four 'simples' as the objectives of educational endeavor.
Would Train Leaders
"The great...lessons of history, science, art and literature are, however, as essential to native African leadership of the people of any other continent and the educational system must provide for the training of both—the masses of the people and native leadership.
"The ordinary impression is that the Government is to rule, the settlers and traders and to exploit the missions are to save and the native people are to be governed, to be exploited and to be saved. There is enough truth in the statement to warrant the suggestion that sound government, sound economies and sound religion require a recognition of the principle that it is better to work with a people than merely for them. The progressive colonies are giving increasing emphasis to the contribution of the native people and their customs."
Before he departed from London Dr. Jones was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the British Government in recognition of the co-operation of the United States in sending the commission to Africa to help formulate plans to meet the educational needs of the native peoples. The investigation was made at the instance of the British Government, and was actively supported by the British Colonial Office, the United States Department of Agriculture, the International Education Board, a Rockefeller organization and the British and American Missionary Societies.
