HONORABLE MARCUS GARVEY REMINDS NEGROES THEY MUST JOIN IN WORLD BATTLE OF WITS OR PASS OUT
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Allow me once again to convey to you my deep sense of appreciation of the splendid, untiring efforts which you are making at this time to hold aloft the banner of the Red, Black and Green.
Be brave, be loyal, be steadfast against the day when I shall return to you, better equipped than ever, to point the way to our great objective, to a free and redeemed Africa.
This week I shall give you a few thoughts on "The Battle of Wits" which is raging in the world today.
The Battle of Wits
"The world is an eternal battleground. The beings who live in it are the soldiers who are engaged in this eternal conflict. At the present time the human race is divided into many camps, each camp endeavoring to outdo the other. We who constitute one of the warring groups seem to be the least prepared for this conflict. On every hand you will see the different groups being marshalled by their most competent generals or leaders for the purpose of holding their respective places in the affairs of the world. Unfortunately, for a long while we refused to advance our cause under our own leadership. We divided ourselves and aligned ourselves with the different groups or with the different camps and have gone to war with them. Hence, in the past and even now, we find Negroes fighting under the banners of England, of France, of Italy, of Spain, of America, while the other groups or the other peoples fight under their independent banners. We refused to recognize the fact that we should fight under a banner of our own, but, as I said, aligned ourselves with all the other forces, scattering ourselves, and thereby defeating ourselves at every turn.
The Hour for Negroes to Stick Together "The hour has come for Negroes to get together and stick together and live together, and if we succeed, to die together. The most dangerous
NEGROES MUST REALIZE THE GOOD SENSE OF FIGHTING UNDER THEIR OWN BANNERS, AS OTHER GROUPS AND PEOPLES DO
IF THE NEGRO DOES NOT NOW ENTER WHOLEHEARTEDLY INTO THE STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE, THE NEXT GENERATION WILL CURSE HIS NAME
THIS IS A PRACTICAL WORLD, AND WE MUST PREPARE PART OF THE WHEAT AND THE MEAT FOR OUR OFFSPRING
enemy of the race at this time is that Negro who is telling us that all the world is not so bad and you must exercise patience and the rest of it because the other fellow's going to be good. He is the most dangerous member of our society. The world is not going to be good until Christ comes back, and nobody knows when He is coming. He may not be here for another million years. During that time if you do not get right you are going to get hell until He comes.
Negroes Must Get a True Concept of Life
Life is serious; life is earnest. If the 400,000,000 Negroes must live, they must first get a concept and a true understanding of what life means. Life does not mean playing the fool. Life means being alert at all times, being on the qui vive and being ever ready to protect your own existence. It is for that that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association fight at this hour.
The Fight for Mastery of the World
"If the Negroes of the world do not get ready to match their wits against the wits of the world or match something else, they are face to face with hell—the hell that we have been told about ever since we came into the world. There is going to be hell down here in this world in another few years in the battle of existence be-
tween the different racial groups for the mastery and the possession of his world. It is for that that the great Caucasian race is lining up itself; it is for that that the yellow and darker races of the East are endeavoring to line up, and if you do not realize your position and organize and fight to extricate yourselves out of the dilemma in which you are going to be placed by these different organized groups, you may as well sing your requiem.
If Your Children Must Eat
"I am appealing to you in all parts of the world to drop your sentiment and face the world with facts, because you are living in a practical world. The fight is for your loaf of bread. It is fight and struggle to the end if you must eat, if your children must eat, if your grandchildren must eat and posterity must eat. And if you don't lay the foundation now for preserving their part of the wheat and the meat when they come they will have nothing but the chaff and the bones.
Serious Times
"We are living in serious times, Negroes. Trust no one but yourselves. Trust no one but God, that God who loves all humanity, who was as fair to us in creation as He was to the white man, the red man or any other man; that God who has not forgotten us; that God who has not, as some would believe, taken away from us anything that we should have, but that God who naturally must be displeased with us because of our own lethargy. I want to impress upon you you have a tremendous responsibility resting upon your shoulders, a responsibility for your own generation of today and a greater responsibility for your children of tomorrow. If you Negro peoples of the world do not fight in this battle of wits, if you Negro peoples of the world do not fight in every way possible, your children shall curse you and damn you for perpetuating this race, for bringing them into existence and bequeathing to them nothing else but the husks of life."
PREMIER PAINLEVE AND ENVOYS TOUR MOROCCO WAR ZONE
BIG U. N. I. A. EXCURSION TO PHILADELPHIA
WITH PREMIER PAINLEVE, ON THE FRANCO-RIFFIAN FRONT. Morocco, via Fres, June 12. (Delayed in Transmission) – Premier Painleve of France knows tonight all about the rear of Abd-al-krim's cannon, for he has been up within earshot of them since 1915. He is also via train airplane and auto-Trem Paris direct to the front lines.
And Abd-al-krim, crafts, Pilman warrior, about whose ways Painleve wants to report back in Paris, staged an especial show for the Premier. It was not long-lived, for Painleve's fighters quickly sent the 'Riifians skulking back to silence.
The French leader left for the front early today. His way was 'along deserted roads where long-robed Atats peacefully guarded their hocks. Then he deflated where signs of war began. He planes hummed on the lookout for foes of the French.
Like American Indian Warfare
Here and there were mounted Arabs — fine horsemen they are—with their fites slung across their saddles, keeping guard against the stealthy Riffians, who filter in from time to time past even the watchful eyes of Palin-leve soldiers.
Then we come up to the headquarters of Col. Preydenberg at Al Ain Abqaiq, the American Indian warfare group in Sengalese in great numbers and many Arabs, some of the latter white-slimmed. Then, too, there are polygot foreign legionnaires — wanderers to whom the call of battle is stronger than the call of home.
Ascending the hill overlooking the camp, I met the Senegalese were predominant, but their call of warrenhom. Home troops, aplendid for fighting in Europe, would find this tropical land and this brand of warfare hard.
The Premier, after consulting long
with Freydenberg, visited (wounded

men in she improvised hospital tent. He learned that the Riffans attacked the post of Medioua this morning, but Aln Alcha itself was calm.
Then we proceeded to the post at Gara Mazlat, where Abd-e-khim's lines are only about two and a half miles distant.
Premier Heers Roar of Gunh 'Painlieve' was very energetic and eager and hurried up to the peak, out-stripping younger men in the party.
The post was encircled with barbed wire and trenches, and Painlieve mounted to the highest point to see the post of Souaines, two miles away, which at the moment was encircled by Riffans. The batteries at Taouat barked out, shelling the enemy, while Painlieve listened and watched interestedly.
His enthusiasm increased as the rear of the Taouat gun was wafhed over to him and he asked to be taken there. Col. Dugan objected that the Premier might be hit.
"But, Monsieur le Colonel, I wish to go where I can feel the battle," Painlieve interposed.
Marshal Lyaute came into the argument, almost explosively.
"It is idiotic," he commented. "You cannot go."
"You are certainly energetic," responded Palainie with a smile, bowing his acquiescence.
Painiele Decorates Germany
Subsequently Palainie decorated an entire battalion of the Foreign Legion with the War Cross. Most of them, oddly enough, were Germans. They could not even talk in the French tongue, and answered in German the Premier's quieries as to their names and records. Palainie shook hands with them, and intimated France welcomed cooperation of every nationality in the task of pacifying Morocco. Later, visiting the Arab village of Souk al De Tika, Palainie was cheered by a group of fifty Call, loyal to the French.
He decorated an Arab battalion and told the natives France intended to protect them against pillagers.
Then he introduced M. Laurent-Eynac, Under Secretary for Aviation, his companion of the air journey from Toulouse.
"This is the high chief of, French aviation," he said, and he has come to tell you that we will send the entire air force of France to protect you." He added that the French Quarter was zam. Rainiforma and swollen rivers forced a change in his original itinerary to reach this town, which lies to the northwest of Fez.
RIFFS CAPTURE
KEY POSITION
ON FRENCH LINE
MADRID, Spain, June 14.—The important natural fortress of Bibane, a key point on the Franco-Riffan front, has been stormed and captured by the Riffans, and dispatches from the war zone say that the entire garrison has been wiped out and the post burned. The garrison itself was not large, consistantly of a merchant and seventy-five men, but the outpost was strongly supported and the French esteemed the point as having great strategic value. All of the defenders of the blockhouse were killed. The Riffan losses were heavy. France, Premier Painlevé, said after his tour of the front, is merely nightingale. The French air forces have been increased by detachments from Algeria, Tunis and Lorraine, and further increases are planned.

FALSE PREACHMENT HAS LED THE RACE FAR FAR AFIELD
Written for The Negro World By F. E. SARGENT
The Negro has wanted so much time preparessing for the hereafter that he has placed himself in a very peculiar position in the now. This is due to the teachings of the preachers who assumed leadership of the race where we were set at liberty more than half a century ago.
The great majority of these go-called leaders, as was pointed out by our Auditor-General the other day in Philadelphia, feeling themselves "too light for heavy work and too heavy for light work," just up to apprehension, with the object in view of earning an easy living. And the college-bred theologians who followed them, have found it profitable not to change the methods of their teaching, but to enlighten the flock in harder to fool. So that the progress of the race, such as it is, is not so much due to the preachers' logic as it is in spite of it.
They have not explained to their people the purpose of life here is greater than the so-called terror and mystery of death, and far, far more important. Man comes into the world from we know not where, without his knowledge or sanction; indeed, his knowledge or sanction is his own. Man is at his well. From the moment of his conception he slvery want is seen in the most efficient manner. Cradled in the heart of its mother, an increasing physical burden to her, yet loved from the very first with a strange and holy love, which she nor any of us understand, since it is our nature to abhor that which causes us distress, but which love persists even to the day of birth, when that mother goes down, down into the valley of the shadow of death, but with no shadow of resentment. This one earthly friend is given in him whom he finds all the attributes of good, which will redound to his benefit.
Thus he is started in life. A plan more perfect cannot be conceived. Beyond the shadow of a doubt the supervision of a master mind is responsible. But it is the plan of this master mind that mankind shall work out its own material and spiritual salvation. The material for this is at hand; it is not hard to find. We see it with our eyes and hear it with our ears. And no after reaching years of disillusion, we begin to believe that we must be behold our Father's business in the midst of material things, to do well our task, believing that the great mystery which is responsible for our being here is also observant of all we do and will judge as rightfully and well in the last lap of the race as He did in the beginning. Getting into the race requires no effort on our part, but staying in the race, conducting ourselves creditably and winding up with honors at the finish will depend most certainly upon ourselves. And so it has been due to the doctrine of the preachers, who process to be preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that they are children of a King, "Jesus getting that princes and princesses do not submit 'tamely to being kicked about and spat upon by other people."
Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, realize that we are children of God. Fully believing this, we intend to begin first becoming free men, and women, and, in the strength and beauty of freedom, we intend to go forward under God and to be the reward of our perfection, material perfection, until we reach the mark of the higher calling which is the reward of all the sons and daughters of God, whether they be black or white. So let's not worry about the hereafter, but, rather, let us do our duty well here, and the hereafter will surely be pleasant and we will reap the reward of the faithful.

"WASHINGTON, D. C."—Two new books on the so-called racial problem have made their appearance. "The Basis of Racial Adjustment," by Dr. Thomas J. Woofer (white) of Georgia, sets forth his opinion of how the different races of mankind are to dwell together in peace and harmony; while "The Menace of Color," by Dr. J. W. Gregory (white) deals with the same topic in a very detailed way, and attempts to prove that "the color classification is of more value in political guidance than that based on the skull or hair." The first named, book is published by Glann A. Company; of New York; while Dr. Gregory selected the J. B. Lippecott Company, of Philadelphia, as his介意著 in-chief.

Dog Meat in Berlin Used as Human Food
BERLIN, June 11—Dog meat is still an article of human diet in Germany, and the Berlin chief of police has decreed that the inspection regulations governing other meat shall apply in the future to this article. The regulations prescribe that dogs slaughter must be examined for trichinosis both before and after killing.
Consumption of dog meat has decreased markedly in Berlin since the war, but it still flourishes in Saxony. The price for a fat dog food is $100,000, and there is an additional slaughter tax of 2 marks 30 pennils.
NATIVES REJOICE AS THE TYRANT LEAVES NIGERIA
Sir Hugh Charles Clifford, British Governor on West Coast of Africa, Leaves for Home Amid Execration of Natives—Battened on the Public Purse
Lagos, Nigeria, W. A.—"Good-bye for ever, to Sir Hugh Charles Clifford."
These and similar shouts of praise went up here at the departure of Sir Hugh Clifford, royal governor of the 17,000 native souls in this colony, for the past five years.
In remarkably frank and bitter articles the local press referred to Sir Hugh as the only discourteous individual who has represented British sovereignty in this colony since its creation. British government has been remarkable, for official squanderaminis. Intolerable participation autocratic obstinacy, persistent discourtesy and irrational blunder. The governor was so pompous that he insisted that the congregation at the church service he attended church services on Sunday ahead of taking a seat with the congregation he sat inside the altar rail with the priests and alcohols.
Specific complaints repeatedly filed with the home government by natives caused the recall of the governor were: 1—That he interfered with the Mohammedan religion, which is followed by 60 per cent of the natives. 2—Sixty years ago British soldiers forced King Docemo to sign an agreement giving the colony to Queen Victoria forever. Docemo was to get a pension of $5,000 a year. His son, Prince Aleko was awarded a pension of $1,500 a year. Clifford made the Prince retire to pensions made out of his pension, inning a petition signed by 15,000 persons which he declared was a worthless document. Natives pointed out that he had received in the past five years in salary and allowances the huge sum of $200,000 and that he entertained the Prince of Wales on his recent trip here as if the Prince had come to see him instead of the natives of the colony.
Negro Priest Officiates at Cathedral Ordination
NEW YORK—For the first time in the history of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine a Negro priest, Rev. Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Phillips. Episcopal Church, 212 West 134th street, read the preface to the ordinal. The occasion was the ordination by Bishop William T. Manning of a class of five young men to the deaconate and the advancement of five deacons to the priesthood. Among those advanced to the priesthood was Rev. Jason J. Ord fee, the assistant at St. Phillips. After the ordination Bishop and Mrs. Manning entertained the ten young men at their residence at luncheon.
Prison Terms of 20 Yr. Barbarians Who Bee
TARBORO. June 8. Twenty years at hard labor in the State's prison, the maximum sentence for mannailaughter, was imposed upon W. C. Gulley, foreman of the Rocky Mount road district convict camp, and N. V. Tyrion, a guard, charged with beating Joe Armstrong, a Negro convict, 16 Death, when they threw themselves upon the mercy of Judge N. A. Sinclair here this afternoon.
Directed by telegraph by Judge Sinclair to reconvene this morning, the Edgecombe county grand jury took the indictment sent up by Solicitor Don Gilliam and within an hour had returned a tree bill for murder against the two men. At 8 o'clock this afternoon they were arraigned and immediately entered a plea of guilty of mannailaughter, and at 6:15 were sentenced.
In passing sentence upon the two men Judge Simler was speaking in his demonstration of the crime by which he was about to commute them, believing that they, an antagonist of the law, had brought愈紧 upon the law by their horrifying, Stubbly's a spite just for the crime. Stubbly's being guilty he does not pay a penalty, and is not to be required on a basis, he does observe. He acquiesces to the opportune ope of the right that had ever been
JOHANNESBURG. May 14.—A strong demand for the withdrawal of the Color Bar Bill on the ground that it is contrary to the principles of Christianity was advanced at last night's session of the Johannesburg Diocesan Synod.
The Rev. Wilfred proposed a resolution to that effect and the debate, which ensued, was marked by serious differences of opinion between promiscuous Mr. Parker said that no matter how far the native had advanced or qualified himself to take his place in industry, he was condemned because of the color of his skin (cries of "ahame" and "question"). In his own country he was to be treated as an undesirable alien, and if he could not be deported the policy was to depress and obstruct the effect of such a policy would be to cause bitter anti-white feeling and to throw the natives into the arms of those who were trying to break down the whole social order.
It was deplorable to think that on the very day that the Act of Union was amended to acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God that the second reading of the Colour Bar Bill was sledge-hammered through the House of Assembly. It was the insoluble right of every human-being, no matter what his color or race might be, to make the host of his life. It had been said that the bill was being passed in the interests of civilization. The lack of Sue's law being the Staina Book would mean that civilization was digging its own grave (Applause). The Rev. A. P. Hill moved an amendment that every means be taken to meet the legitimate fears of the white man let his wages be jeopardized by the inroads of cheap labor. The amendment was, by agreement, incorporated in the resolution.
Mr. Hill submitted that the fear of the white man was inspired by the unfair competition of natives who had not the same standard of living to maintain. Nothing was so calculated to embitter feeling between the two races as the idea of the white man that he was being beaten, not because of inferior work, but because native labor was sold cheaper and the native standard of living much lower.
The Chancellor, Mr. C. F. Stallard, K. C. Chancellor, that the Synod must realize that in not dealing with this problem they were dealing with the fundamentals, not only of South Africa, but of civilized existence. It was doubted in the interests of the races of Africa that the white man should remain for the native would be poorer and worse. If the Europeans left the country.
But they could not have a wel-balanced policy if they were faced with a struggle for bare existence. That was why they must aim at a high standard of living.
"We know perfectly well," said Mr. Stallard, "that if there is to be a cut-throat competition in the rougher spheres of labor between white and black, there is only one outcome. It means the elimination of the majority of the white population. In the long run it will mean that the white race can only exist here as specimens, perhaps as leaders of different trades or industries, perhaps as leaders in the church, and possibly as leaders in the State.
"Is that likely to be good for the black? Can they get on without the (Continued on page 6)
The testimony presented at the direction of the judge in order that he might be advised as to the weight of his sentence, was revolting. Dr. H. Lodge, who acted as a special coroner, and Dr. J. A. Spiegel, who examined the body, described the condition of the body, and the actual whipping of the Negro. No evidence was offered by the defense, other than the claim of each man that the other was principally responsible. Conley, who was foreman of the convict guex, used a stick an inch and a half in diameter and 42 feet long, and Tyler, who was a wooden handle. The beating insisted about a half hour. Tyler turned the wooden handle on the Negro before the beating was finished, the witness deserved.
Says They Are Inefficient, Cowards and Repists—War Record Proves Him to Be a Liar—Defense of Our Brave Soldiers by Their Officers and Comrades
From the New York Herald-Tribune
Arguments both supporting and opposing Major-General Robert Lee Baldwin's criticism of the conduct of Negro troops in France were, contained in letters received year-round by the Herald-Tribune. The letters were provoked by assertions made by General Baldwin's this series of articles published in the New York Herald. L Edward Shaw, of Vetch, Shaw and Remsen, 45, John street, who was a captain in the 36th Infantry, wrote:
"I have read with much interest and appreciation General Bullard's Memoirs. His comments on the colored spider, and Major-Hamilton-Pish's letters in the Herald-Tribune of June 12 in reply, are worth noting. I think to this most interesting controversy,
I was one of the original officers in Colonel Hayward's 15th N. Y. Infantry - 3639 U. S. Infantry - and served continuously with that regiment during the war. I have since, the war been constantly engaged in welfare work among the veterans of the regiment and the colored people of Harlem generally. I believe that I understand the American Negro, and my experience with him under the most trying conditions has made me a stanch supporter of his race.
Prefers to Serve With Negroes
"Since the war I have been answering constantly one question, 'What do you really think of the colored soldier?' My answer has always been and still is. If there were another war tomorrow I should try to go with the colored troops."
"The 56th Infantry, the writer's regiment, could and did hold under the wart's shell fire. Contrary to Major Hamilton Fish's statement in his letter in the Herald-Tribune, this was not always true of the French Nro troops. Often after severe shelling on several occasions our French General Le Buc and his star of the 14th French Division, the French army, were assembled at this quality in our regiment, and they were sent to pick their colored soldiers in holding troops under bombardment. We saw this to be true in relieving one of the famous "Moroccan" regiments in the Champagne in July under heavy shelling. They had the wind up so much that they literally knocked our men down in their hats to get out of their positions when our reliefs appeared.
Major Fish falls to note that General Bullard did not say that the colored soldier lacks courage. In fact, he states that in his military experience prior to the World War the conduct of colored troops was excellent. Square to Be Dedicated Today
"The history of the Civil and Spanish American wars confirms this statement. General Bullard confirms his criticism of the colored soldier to the extent that he apparently substantiates it. The fault, however, was not with the colored soldier in this division, but with his leaders and the administration that sent him into battle untrained.
"In closing I wish to call The Herald Tribune' and its readers' attention to the dedication in Hagem on Sunday June 14; at 3 o'clock, at Edgecombe avenue and 135th street, of a square to Private Derrick Brooks, New York colored boy, born on 130th street, educated in the New York public schools, killed in action in the Arzone-Menue leading forward remnant of the Army in the Gun Company, 865th Infantry, after his four white officers, two colored gerguees and two colored corporals had been killed or wounded. As the grave of the Unknown Soldier at Washington honors all soldier dead of the nation, let this square, dedicated to a humble colored soldier from New York City honor the valor of the American colored soldier and stand as a permanent answer to all uninformed or prejudiced critics of the colored soldier."

celing about twenty or thirty replacements the night before we moved into the attack in Champagne or September 26, 1918. As I was making some final dispositions preparatory to "jumping off" I was amused when several of the new men ran to me and asked me how to load a rifle. While loading for them they explained that they were straight from the cotton belt and were drafted about six-weeks before and newer so much as drilled with a rifle. As the attack developed these men were either killed, wounded or scattered. One could scarcely expect more of them than to walk well-nigh helpless into the face of the enemy. But could they be blamed for this?
The remarkable thing was, and it speaks very highly for colored soldiers, that the presence of these fortunate men did not, under the circumstances, demoralize the entire company. General Bullard's allegations of cowardice on the part of the Ninety-second Division brings up a point, always difficult to prove, of how scared the other fellow—the enemy—might have been. I know from experience that colored soldiers have always struck terror into the heart of the German. Whenover he found that he was up against a black face in French Colonial brown, whether, they were native Senegalese, Moroccan or, and I speak from experience when I say our own 369th, they felt it was a back-to-the-wall proposition and let fly with everything they had, so much so that on occasions, we would pick up French blue overcoats and wear them as camouflage.
Perclival Sills, of 133 West, 1324 Street, who described himself as a Negro private in France, charges in a letter that American authorities assisted the French military mission, with the American troops to issue a document called "Secret Information concerning Black American Troops." He asserts the alleged document proves that Negro troops were discriminated against in France.
According to the document, the French mission, assisted by the Americans, instructed the French troops as follows:
"We must prevent the rise of any pronounced degree of intimacy between French officers and black officers. We may be courteous and amisable these last, but we cannot deal with the same plans as with the white American officers without deeply wounding the latter. We must not eat with them, must not shake hands or seek to talk or meet with them outside of the requirements of the military service.
"We must not commend too highly the black American troops, particularly in the presence of (white) Americans. It is all right to recognize their good qualities and their services, but only in moderate terms, strictly in keeping with the truth.
"Make a point of keeping the native cantonment population from 'spoiling' the Negroes. (White) Americans become greatly incensed at any public expression of intimacy between white women and black men. They have recently uttered violent protests against a picture in La vie Parisienne, entitled 'The Child of the Desert' which shows a white woman with a Negro. Familiarity on the part of white women with black men is furthermore a source of profound regret, to our experienced colonials, who see in it an overweening menace to the prestige of the white race."
*Negroes in the Indian Wars*
J. Friendland, 100 William Street, wrote;
"I come to the defense of the colored soldier after reading General Bullard's article.
I know the old 8th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 28th Infantry, all colored, who did valiant service on the Texas frontier in the early '70s against the Indians. "All the old officers who commanded them" - Generals Merritt. (Continued on page 10)

rows said the units equiluted themselves nobly and demonstrated, the part which the organization was playing in the life of the Negro in New York.
In conclusion, Mrs Burrows emphasized the riceressity on the part of the members of the organization to make their contributions to the carrying on of the work of the Black Cross Trading and Navigation Company and keeping ships on the seas. It should be the aim of every Negro, he said, to obtain the medal which was being offered by the Universal Negro Improvement. Association to every one who contributed $10 to the fund for purchasing more ships. We can do nothing without ships, the speaker said, as long as the Negro is kept off the sea he will be kept oppressed; as long as they are kept out of maritime affairs, so long will they remain paupers. It should be the desire of every Negro to maintain a fleet of ships on the ocean and thus avoid the humiliation to which the Negro is now subjected in sailing on the white man's ships. We must prove to the world that we can put ships on the water and keep them there and it was for every member and friend of the race to do their part in bringing about this result.

HON. J. HASSELL, PAYING TRIBUTE TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY, TELLS HIS HEARERS WHY THE NEGRO SHOULD OWN SHIPS AND WHY THE SHIPPING VENTURES MEET WITH SUCH OPPOSITION FROM THE ENEMY—SHIPS BUILD UP WEALTH
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, June 14.—The usual Sunday night mass meeting held by the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was attended by thousands of members and friends of the organization who listened to an entertaining musical program and inspiring addresses delivered by Hon. P. L. Burrows; Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, Hon. J Hassell, of Seattle, Washington, Dr. Spencer, of Gary, Ind., and Hon. Levi Lord, Auditor General.
HON J. HASSELL SPEAKS
Mon. J. Hassell spoke as follows: I am pleased, to be back in the great cradle of liberty of the Negro race, and it fills my heart with joy to see how loyal this race of ours is standing by the Negro Columbus.
A novel feature of the meeting was the appearance of the juvenile members of the New York local on the musical program which preceded the speeches. They took the place of the regular adult choir and rendered in creditable manner a number of vocal selections which were heartily applauded and afforded the audience an opportunity of seeing how the younger members of the organization were being developed by Mrs. King of the juvenile adet corps, along musical lines.
Garvey, the Negro Columbus
You have compared Hon. Marcus Garvey with everybody in the universe from Christ down, but Garvey is the Negro Columbus of the twentieth century. Read history and you will know I am giving you a true parallel. Columbus pleaded with the government at Genoa for a chance to go out and discover this Western world; he knew it was there; but they said he was a crank and a fool. He went over to Portugal and pleaded with the Portuguese King for a chance to discover this new continent on which we stand tonight, but the Portuguese thought he was crazy, but he did marry the daughter of a great Portuguese navigator and through that he inherited all the charts and great works of his father-in-law, and he studied deeper into the history of past navigations. He wrote to the King of England, Henry VIII, asking for help to discover this new continent; they told him he was crazy. "At last he appealed to a woman, label of Spain. Women, you are the salvation of all races; you are the lever that starts everything in the world, and if you Negro women will stand by your race you will free your race, you will free the Hill, Marcus Garvey and you will make the world respect you. (Applause.)
Hon. J. Hassell spoke happily of the loyal manner in which the members of the New York local were supporting the organization. He characterized Hon. Marcus Garvey as the Negro Columbus of the twentieth century. History, he said, would prove that the parallel between Marcus Garvey and Columbus was true in that they both had gone through similar stages. Columbus was called crazy because he insisted on setting sail from Europe to discover the American continent and Marcus Garvey was also called crazy because he undertook an adventure to free his face and declaring to the world that Africa must be redeemed and made the black man's country. He implored the members of the organization to stick by their leaders and carry on the cause. It was going to win, he said; there is to such thing as the Universal Negro Improvement Association losing out; we are getting stronger the world over every day and are commanding the respect of the white race.
Mrs. Garvey spoke in her usual happy vein. The spirit of freedom, she said, is permeating the minds of all people at this time, and it behooves the Negro at this time when the world was in turmoil to prepare themselves for the time when the opportunity came to strike the blow for their freedom.
Following are the speeches:
HON. P. L. BURROWS SPEAKS
Hon. P. L. Burrows was the first speaker. Referring to the dedication exercises held during the afternoon of the New York local participant, Mr. Bur-
Marcus Garvey is our Columbus, he has come through the same stages as Columbus of the 14th century. When he appealed to the Queen of Spain, the Premier of Spain, stood along the Queen in the interview and he said, 'Your Majesty, the man is crazy, even the men on the street shook their heads and said he has got the "lions". They have said the same thing about Marcus Garvey. After Columbus discovered this continent they were jealous of him that on the return trip they took him back to Spain and shackled him on the ships he commanded.
They have got our great leader in prison. When the day came that Columbus laid down and died we found the nations fighting for his body—where it should, rest. I tell you, whether Marcus Garvey lives or dies, the Negroes of the world will fight as to where his body should be whether in Africa, Jamaica or in the city of New York. I hope to see Marcus Garvey free our race, and if you women of the Negro race will stand by him you will have the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

every on the cause; you are going to win; there is no such thing as the Universal Negro Improvement Association losing out; we are stronger the world over every day and you are commanding the respect of the white race; they are afraid of you. There are only two races in the world that the white man is afraid of and who he is trying to keep off the ocean—the Chinese and the Negro. Since I left you, they have put the Chinese Steamship Company of California bankrupt and they had to sell their steamers. Why? Because they realize that the Chinese and the Negro are the two greatest states. Economically, you are keeping the other fellow rich and if you keep ships on the ocean you are going to take away his wealth, make him a painter and make him your servant; that is why they do not swanty you to have ships. If every Negro in the United States and the West Indies would give a dollar a month or $12 a year, you would have several million dollars to maintain your steamships and not be begging all the time. Woman, keep behind your men.
MRS. GARVEY'S SPEECH
Mrs. Ahy Jacques-Garvey spoke as follows:
We greatly appreciate the encouraging words of Mr. Hassell. Truth women are the burden bearers of our race; we have to toll outside of our men and as we toll with them we give them inspiration, but if they do not 'o' we will lead them and let them follow if they will.
The World in Turmcil
The world is in turmcil at the present time, and it seems to me that song of us are standing quietly and unaware of the amount of content going on in the world. There is China, seething with what they can't a rebellion; there is North Africa, holding her own against the explorer; there is South Africa waiting for the world to be given and, then all Africa will take the lead and oust the white exporter from their mist. White people are fearful; the entire white race is incarnated that this time they are fearful because they know that during all the time they have occupied this world in what they term a superior position, they have not dealt squarely with those whom they have controlled, but have exploited, oppressed and brutalized the darker peoples of the world. They are fearful because they know that when offences are a peon and can see ourselves and realize our potentialities we are going to strike back in no uncertain way. I would like you men and women and younger people to observe the turn events are taking, prepare yourself and be ready to seize opportunities when they come.
Some people ask the question, Will Africa be redeemed? This question we are not going to answer for them, but we answer for ourselves, and we say Africa will redeem itself when we can get black men to think black, work black and act black all the time. I repeat, the world is in turnself and it is well to realize it. Africa has a fearless soldier in the person of Abdel-Krim, and God grant that we have many more Abdel-Krims and Marus Gargoye. They are both fearless and assume no compromising attitude. There is no need for compromise when you know your cause is righteous and you are doing what God would have you do. We see the day ahead of us when Ethiopia's sons shall be once more nurtured and their power and glory restored. And when that day comes we will develop a civilization that will shake the world sit and wonder.
"China Seeing Yellow"
China is in rebellion. The hand of the yellow man is pointing the war to freedom at this time. And why? Because China is divided up by white capitalists of all nations. Anywhere the white man can see a little bit of gold, diamonds or minerals of any value, there he wants to plant his flag and oppress and brutalize the natives who hold that country. The eyes of China have been opened, and they are seeing yellow. It is not merely a question of a few workers who are discontented; but the rebellion, as it is called, is becoming a war, and it is a war where the yellow man is determined to oust his white invader and control his own country. That spirit is permeating the minds of all people at this time. Everybody wants to be free, all men are born free, but it is the propaganda of other people that makes them slaves. When they have enslaved their minds, then they enslave their bodies. When we as a race can emancipate ourselves, build up a mighty nation and command the respect of the world, then we are obeying the dictates of God Almighty, our Creator, and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to Install into the minds of Negroes everywhere.
DR. SPENCER OF GARY IS INTRODUCED
Dr. Spencer of Garv. Ind., was next introduced and spoke very briefly. He said:
"I bring to you greetings of the Middle West, and assure you that during the incarceration of our President-General, Indiana will stand firm with New York or anywhere, else that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is represented. I would that I had time to tell you of the condition of the Negro in the Middle West; I would that I had time to tell you of the prejudice that is being brought to bear against the Negroes of the Middle West; and to tell you of the freedom that you enjoy that we do not in the Middle West and Solom."

lies the salvation of the race and furthermore because it will bring vindication to the Hon. Marcus Garvey who founded it. Imagine, said he, a man with a five year sentence hung ever since using the mails to defraud in connection with the Black Star Line, having the courage to do, the same thing over again, proving to the world that he was doing the right thing, and for that reason he is behind prison bars tonight. It is our duty, therefore to carry on and he fell sure that the loyal members of the organization would carry on in spite of everything.
and "that place" for another class is fundamentally wrong and, as a consequence, can stand and be enforced only in the absence of right, which eventually will out.

INDUSTRIAL INDEPENDENCE NECESSARY TO NEGRO LIFE.
EVERYWHERE, in every quarter of the habitable globe, the struggle for existence has become the predominant one in the life of the people. The World War, which was precipitated by Germany to satisfy the ambitious military aspirations of the crazy Kaiser, and the selfish schemes of politicians not large enough to be statesmen, and the monopolists in the necessary things to life, the captains of industry, in every land, who have a league of their own to regulate production, distribution and prices, and from which there has not been found any appeal as yet, but from whom an appeal will be found—the World War turned the earth bottom up, the sacrifice of accumulated wealth and human life, so that the future must be bled in taxation for a thousand years to recover that which it destroyed in fire and smoke. We might as well face the facts. The earth will never again be what it was before the World War.
There is plenty of every necessary thing everywhere, as the display by the vendors abundantly shows, but the prices of everything are out of all proportion to the average wage of the average person. Rents, foodstuffs, clothing, luxuries, have all gone beyond the ability of the average wage-carner to make ends meet. Monopoly in the necessary things, and extravagant expenditure of public moneys, entailing oppressive taxation by all branches of the government, with the progressive demands of organized labor for more pay and less work, have brought about this horrible condition. Unless people can shake themselves clear of the thieving monopoly of the necessary things of life and the extravagant expenditure of public money, every Christian nation will be faced with bankruptcy. The statesmen of Great Britain, if statesmen they can be called, have solemnly declared that, unless there shall be a change from the industrial stagnation which prevails, Great Britain will be unable to meet its foreign obligations. Every European country is facing the same problem and struggling to avert the calamity of defaulting in its obligations. The United States is in a little better position, but unemployment is rampant, high prices and exorbitant taxation prevail, while people deny themselves necessary food and clothing because prices are beyond their ability to pay.
President Marcus Garvey, in his front page article in last week's issue of The Negro World, among other good things, says: "The efforts of the Negro should be concentrated upon making himself industrially free, I repeat, making himself industrially and economically independent. And that, among other things, is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to inspire.
"As I have often said, the purpose of the world is to supply the needs and wants of the people therein, and the purpose of the people in the world is to get the most out of the world, to get the most that the world yields. We have reached a point now where all people who are joined by ties of blood are struggling as a compact whole to get for themselves that which is not enough to be divided among everybody. And if the Negro does not rouse himself and think in terms of race; if the Negro does not cease his nonsensical talk about being German, British or Portuguese, he will find to his chagrin that his very existence, even on the lowest scale, will be seriously jeopardized through the systematic, unified efforts of other races and peoples to secure the things that are necessary for existence and comfort and which, in view of the ever-increasing demand, will not be enough for all."
Reduced to its last analysis, President-General Garvey means that wherever we are we should make the most and not the least of our social, civil and economic opportunities; that we should stand together as a race and buy and sell among ourselves as much as possible, and that wherever our share in a common right or opportunity is denied as we should contend for it, just as other races would do, and must do, or be oppressed and robbed by monopolists and by the government in lavish expenditures of the public moneys derived from taxing every necessary thing that makes for existence. In this way, we must do for ourselves and not expect others to do for the things that are necessary to be done. To do this we must

If you go into the botanical gardens, there you will find flowers that are protected, in the woods there are trees that are protected, even the fishes of the seas are protected, but no protection for black man, whether he be in Southblack of Australia or North Borneo. In conclusion, I will sum up with the three simple words, "We are called" upon to do that which we honestly and consciously believe to be for the permanent interests of the people with whom we are identified.
Each month, in Bloomfainten, there was a massacre, cold blooded murder, of our people by the white people. They simply put it down as "the natives have been drinking the kaffir beer and became bulterous and obstinate. The harbour and railway riffles were sumpmed, which resulted in five killed, eighteen wounded." The injuries sustained are of serious character. Now they want to make inquiries as to how those people were killed. That's marvelous, isn't it? Such is the condition under which we live in this part of the globe.
During the World War the Germans used some kind of method in the battlefield to which they said it wasn't fair for, the Germans to fight that way. Hence, they were well equipped. Yet they got next to use firearms against unarmed people. "No dog will fight another dog on account of a cat. Better for cats to have their union while there's day."

A Man Who Won Because He Knew How to Work
The sources of success in scholarship of Willig in Leider, bricklayer, who has won the Phi Beta Kappa key, emblem of distinction in studies, at Columbia University, are not mysterious. He achieved his honors, by hard work. He did not depend on good luck on favoritism, on sympathy. He set a goal for himself, knuckled down to the continuous, grinding toll its achievement involved and struggled through to triumph.
In the daytime he worked at his trade. While laying brick he can have had but little time to think of his studies. A bricklayer follows a pretty taxing trade. His attention must be concentrated on his work or it will be badly done and will be condemned by the inspectors. Moreover, the man who divides his attention, who thinks of one thing while doing another, is not the man who layes sound, true brick walls or earns the privilege of wearing a Phi Beta Kappa key.
When one day's work was finished by William Leider he began another task. That was to master his academic lessons, to prepare himself for classroom and quiz. The man who seeks honors at Columbia or any other great university does not choose an easy way. The confinaternity of scholars upholds high standards. It welcomes the man who can scale the wall, but it does not throw open a hospitable door to filers. The aspirant must prove himself. He can not lean on another. Work, hard work, is required, even of geniuses, and for it there is no substitute.
Eventually William Leider will teach philosophy. If he has his way, and obtains the Ph. D., which is now his ambition. If he does not change his mind the chances are he will get it. He knows how to work, and though he is working hard and must continue to work hard his health is not likely to break down. He is burning the candle steadily, but not at both ends, and work by itself is responsible for very few breakdowns. When Dr. Leider surveys his classes in the future what will he say to young men who complain that his courses compel them to overwork?

have leadership and organization in every community, to fetch the people together in one body and teach them what it is necessary to do in order to attain to industrial and economic independence. We must learn to market our own produce, to have our own co-operative associations for this purpose, to have our stores and factories and banks. We must start on a small scale, of course, and grow into a large scale, and we are doing so in many places. That is the law of the survival of the fittest, the law of supply and demand.
Every local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should be a school for the instruction in what are our social, civil and economic values, and in leading the members and their friends in developing these in the life of the community, of the Negro people. Stir up the people. Have lectures on some phase of the question every week. Teach the people. Lead the people. That is the mission of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
A BEAUTIFUL and helpful influence in the life of the Negro people passed from labor to reward, as the saying is, when Mrs. Booker T. Washington died at Tuskegee Institute, which she helped to make useful and famous, June 4. Mrs. Washington devoted her life to her famous husband and his children and to the women of the race, to all which she gave the best that was in her, and that was much. She was a product of the South, having been born in Mississippi. She prepared herself for the work of a teacher at Fisk University, and she brought more than a teacher's equipment to the work. Thousands of young women who have come within her influence at Tuskegee and who are scattered throughout the nation doing a good and helpful work, will testify to her great qualities of head and heart.
Mrs. Washington was interested as well, not only in the Negro women of the United States, but in Negro women everywhere, and planned a year ago, as she told the editor of The Negro World, to call a congress of the Negro women of the world. She was active in most of the organization work among the Negro women of the United States, and took to the work a loving sympathy and ripe intelligence which endeared her to her associates and gave her the opportunity to do a great and useful work.
Margaret Murray Washington was a great woman, as great in her way and in her sphere of work as her illustrious husband. All who knew her feel a personal loss in her death, but she left the race wiser and better than she found it by labors.
PREMIER PAINLEVE FLIES TO AFRICA
THE Arab war in Northern Africa between France and the Riff tribesmen reached such a point of desperation last week that Premier Painleve decided to go to Morocco and size up the situation on the spot. But the way of his going was remarkable, and shows that we have got into a new world where things are done in a new way. He left Toulouse in the morning, made three stops, and landed at Rabat, Morocco, at 5:40 in the afternoon. Imagine such a thing as possible, and you can visualize the progress mankind has made in conquering the forces of nature to his uses, as God authorized him to do in Genesis 12:28. "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it." He said. Man is doing that today. Are you contributing your bit? If not, why not? It is said that France and Spain, which each have zones of influence in Morocco, and both of which are hard-pressed by the Riff tribesmen, will come to an understanding that will combine their fighting and other resources against Abd-el-Krim, the resourceful leader of the Riff tribesmen. That was to be expected. But it is to be deplored that African Senegalese troops under French authority, should be hurled upon their brethren of Morocco. It is said that three-fourths of the French forces in Morocco are African and Morocco Arab troops. That is the horror, the tragedy of it—brothers in race and blood thrown against each other to keep all in servitude to the white European! It can be helped, and it must be helped. It is horrible, it is tragical, and a blot on the escutcheon of a people.
HE PUT HIS MONEY IN AN UNSAFE BANK
MONEY is blood. It takes so much money to produce so much foodstuffs and other necessary things to produce so much blood. If you squander your money so that you cannot produce the blood which is the life to produce so much money you rob yourself of life which is the blood thereof. Have you thought of the matter in that way?
Many people do not save anything. They spend as they go and go as they spend. Other people save, but do not make wise provision for safeguarding what they save. They are afraid to trust their savings with others, because they know the value of it, show hard it was for them to accumulate it, however small the sum total of their savings for the lean years which always follow the fat years. Such people even distrust banks, which are also human and often fail. But banks and safety vaults are the surest places yet devised for protecting the savings of the thrifty.
Take the case of the old Negro at Griffin, Ga. He was employed by the city as a street sweeper and he had managed through a long life of toil and sacrifice to accumulate $2,600. He lived alone. He kept his money wrapped in a flour sack in the bottom of his trunk. While at his work some miscreant riffled the trunk. In his old age the old man found himself alone in the world and penniless. He had put his money in an unsafe bank. If he had placed it in the savings bank of Griffin he would still have it to his credit.
* We sympathize with Rufus Jones, the victim, and hope he may recover his savings and that the thief may get the limit of the law.
MAHARAJAH DIES;
CREMATED IN PARIS
here May 22. and a personal physician of King George of England came to Paris to attend him.
Sir Mahdo Bao Sindhia, Maharajah of Gwalior, was 49 years of age, and ascended to the throne of his tremendously wealthy Indian province in 1886.
PARIS, June 6. The Maharajah of Gwallor, one of India's richest and most powerful princes, died suddenly here yesterday. He was cremated in modern style today, wearing his royal robes and with all his jewels, after efforts had failed to have his body burned on a great open air funeral pyre in Paris in accordance with his religious rites.
He was a great sportman and frequently visited England for pole and other contests. He developed in Gwallion an excellent system of light railways, irrigation projects and made other improvements.
The British Embassy, at Paris kept the wires to London busy last night, and members of the Maharajah's suite skimmed behind the city attempting to arrange for a funeral pyre of wood in the open air upon which the body could be burned in accordance with the brahmas rites.
The total attendance at Howard University this year, was 2,046 Drum of

A South African View Of the Ugly Situation
We are called upon to do that which we honestly and conscientiously believe to be for the permanent interests of the people with whom we are identified. If we are conscious of the fact that we belong to the big Negro race, then we must be willing, whenever the necessity arises, to undertake any big task. "We remember quite well" not so long ago the Japanese were rejected and spurned in this Capetown, but the Japanese came together with a determination and said among themselves, "We are called upon to do that which we honestly and conscientiously believe to be for the permanent interests of the Japanese." Today the Japanese are to be reckoned with by the powers of the world. What is possible for others is also possible for the Negro when the indeterminate leader of the Indians, Mahatma Gandhi, was incarcerated the Indians came together like phalanx. The result was that he was released.
Unlike similar circumstances, we must take the initiative as other men have done. The calumination of Hon. Marcus Garvey is by no shape or form possible to frustrate the followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are proselytizing for the U. N. I. A. orthodoxy. Nothing between the firmament and the earth can frustrate the 400,000,000 black souls.
A RACIAL HIERARCHY AND EMPIRE FOR NEGROES
Negro's Faith Must Be Confidence in Self—His Creed: One God, One Aim, One Destiny
The time has come for the Negro to forget and cast behind him his hero worship and adoration of other races, and to start out immediately to create and emulate heroes of his own.
We must canonize our own saints, create our own martyrs, and elevate to positions of fame and honor black men and women who have made their distinct contributions to our racial history. Sojourner Truth is worthy of the place of sainthood alongside of Joan of Arc; Crispus Attucks and George William Gordon are entitled to the halo of martyrdom with no less glory than that of the martyrs of any other race. Toussaint L'Ouyverture's brilliancy as a soldier and statesman outshine that of a Cromwell, Napoleon and Washington; hence, he is entitled to the highest place as a hero among men. Africa has produced countless numbers of men and women, in war and in peace, whose lustre and bravery outshine that of any other people. Then why not see good and perfection in ourselves?
We must inspire a literature and promulgate a doctrine of our own without any apologies to the powers that be. The right is ours and God's. Let contrary sentiment and cross opinions go to the winds. Opposition to race independence is the weapon of the enemy to defeat the hopes of an unfortunate people. We are entitled to our own opinions and not obligated to or bound by the opinions of others.
If others laugh at you, return the laughter to them; if they mimic you, return the compliment with equal force. They have no more right to dishonor, disrespect and disregard your feeling and manhood than you have in dealing with them. Honor them when they honor fou; disrespect and disregard them when they vilely treat you. Their arrogance is but skin deep and an assumption that has no foundation in morals or in law. They have sprung from the same family tree of obscurity as we have; their history is as rude in its primitiveness as ours; their ancestors ran wild and naked, lived in caves and in branches of trees, like monkeys, as ours; they made human sacrifices, ate the flesh of their own dead and the raw meat of the wild beast for centuries even as they accuse us of doing; their cannibalism was more prolonged than ours; when we were embracing the arts and sciences on the banks of the Nile their ancestors were still drinking human blood and eating out of the skulls of their conquered dead; when our civilization had reached the noon-day of progress they were still running naked and sleeping in holes and caves with rats, bats and other insects and animals. After we had already unfathomed the mysteries of the stars, and reduced the heavenly constellations to minute and regular calculus they were still backwoodsmen, living in ignorance and blatant darkness.
Why Be Discouraged?
The world today is indebted to us for the benefit of civilization. They stole our arts and sciences from Africa. Then why should we be ashamed of ourselves? Their MODERN IMPROVEMENTS are but DUPLICATES of a grander civilization that we reflected thousands of years ago, without the advantage of what is buried and still hidden, to be resurrected and reintroduced by the intelligence of our generation and our posterity. Why should we be discouraged because somebody laughs at us today? Who to tell what tomorrow will bring forth? Did they not laugh at Moses, Christ and Mohammed? Was there not a Carthage, Greece and Rome? We see and have changes every day, so pray, work, be steadfast and be not dismayed.
Nothing Must Kill the Empire Urge
As the Jew is held together by his RELIGION, the white races by the assumption and the unwritten law of SUPERIORITY, and the Mongolian by the precious tie of BLOOD, so likewise the Negro must be united in one GRAND RACIAL HIERARCHY. Our UNION MUST KNOW NO CLIME, BOUNDARY, or NATIONALITY. Like the great Church of Rome, Negroes the world over MUST PRACTICE ONE FAITH, that of Confidence in themselves, with One God! One Aim! One Destiny! Let no religious scruples, no political machination divide us, but let us hold together under all climes and in every country, making among ourselves a Racial Empire upon which "the sun shall never set."
Allegiance to Self First
Let no voice but your own speak to you from the deptha Let no influence but your own rouse you in time of peace and time of war. Hear all, but attend only to that which concerns you.
Your allegiance shall be to your God, then to your family race and country. Remember always that the Jew in his political and economic urge is always first a Jew; the white man is first a white man under all circumstances, and you can do no less than being first and a Negro; and then all else will take care of itself. Let no one inoculate you with evil doctrines to suit their own conveniences. There is no humanity before that which starts with yourself: "Charity begins at home." First to thyself be true, and "thou canst not then be false to any man."
We Are Arbiters of Our Own Destiny
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own creative genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law.
Let the sky and God be our limit, and Eternity our measurement. There is no height to which we cannot climb by using the active intelligence of our own minds. Mind creates, and as much as we desire in Nature we can have through the creation of our own minds. Being at present the scientifically weaker race, you shall trent others only as they treat you; but in your homes and everywhere possible you must teach the higher development of science to your children; and be sure to develop a race of scientists par excellence, for in science and religion lies our only hope to withstand the evil designs of modern materialism. Never forget your God.
SHIPS! SHIPS!
Help Create a Black Cross Reserve and Operating Fund
Fellow members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, greetings!
Our ship, the Booker T. Washington, has returned to New York, having completed its maiden trip to the West Indian Islands and Central America.
Another contribution has been made to Negro history. Many thanks to you who have made this possible, but the largest contribution is yet to be made, and we now appeal to each and every race-loving patriot to do his or her duty.
The trip just ended has taught us much. We have found competition keen and encountered a mountain of prejudice toward Negroes doing business on a large scale. The initial trip has been a costly one, because we were compelled to depend wholly upon the other fellow for cargoes. We failed to get business from him, and in consequence our ship was operated at a loss. It is, therefore, our first care now, in the light of our bitter experience, to make business for ourselves.
We must have steamships, and still more steamships, regardless of the cost, because these are the backbone of African redemption. But to own and operate ships in the face of the existing prejudice toward the Negro and the opposition to the Universal Negro Improvement Association it is necessary that we establish our own buying and shipping agencies, our own distributing and coaling stations. While this will require a greater outlay, greater benefits will eventually accrue, for additional jobs will be furnished thousands of our people and the revenue of the corporation increased to an appreciable degree.
To do the things outlined above WE HAVE LAUNCHED A GIGANTIC DRIVE.
Every member and well-wisher of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, every lover of the race is called upon at this time to contribute ONE DOLLAR A WEEK FOR TEN WEEKS to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company.
To every member of the race who completes his or her ten weeks' contribution a beautiful medal bearing the inscription, "Negro Patriot," will be given. In addition to this the name of every recipient of a medal will be recorded on our honor roll of African patriots and published in The Negro World.
Those who can are asked to contribute more than one dollar a week, but each and every one is expected to give at least one dollar.
Now is the time to show by your deeds that you are determined to secure liberty and independence for your children and your children's children. Pledge yourselves this very moment to give one dollar a week for ten weeks. We have received many letters from members and friends suggesting that we launch this dollar drive, so that every member may get a chance to support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. The opportunity now is yours.
Send in your dollar today. Acknowledgment will be made through The Negro World every week. See that your name is on next week's list.
If every member does his and her duty at this time the success of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company is assured. Address all letters to the SECRETARY of the BLACK CROSS RESERVE AND OPERATING FUND, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.

High-Handed Methods of the Naval Government Compromise the Constitution and Good Faith of the Great Republic-When Conservative, New York Times Can Speak Out in Behalf of Black Peoples, Who Can Stand Aside?
We Say It!! IF IT IS PRINTING
DIVISIONS, CHAPTERS, LODGES, CHURCHES, CLUBS, BUSINESS HOUSES
When the stall, respectable and conservative New York Times devotes an editorial two-thirds of a column long to a plea for simple justice to black people contending against whites, all those who know America will conceive that something significant has come about and that these black people have a tremendous case. Even Philip Wilson—naval governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States" and that other Marshlander, Judge George Washington Williams, who pays off personal scores by crude convictions and full sentences, must feel ill at ease when they read the Times editorial of June 9 on "The Virgin Islands." For no even these twin sons of thunder dare deny that the New York Times is one of the very few great and most powerful morning papers in the United States. Nor can they pretend that that clausie organ of conservation" open to the influences of "prohibition" whether emanating from Virgin Islands or elsewhere. Yet the Times editorial advances with crushing judicial weight every one of the main contentions which we of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council have.

been arguing with unanimated vigor for the last three years—every one! The facts which the Times editor disgusted in the editorial have penetrated to the moral sensibilities of every influential American, and like a stench in the nostrils, they cry aloud for abatement.
The recent high-handed and tyrannical act of the governor in dissolving the Colonial Council (local legislature) of St. Croix, when that body wasathering to the Colonial law, might well have been the element that precipitated such an editorial as that in the Times. The facts are now available and we present them here for our friends, sympathizers and readers of The Negro World.
The Colonial Council of the island of St. Croix consists of 18 members elected and appointed; the appointed members by the governor under the present organic act of 1917, lightheartedly devised by Congress when its delilative wisdom was distracted by the pressing problems of an impending war with Germany. On the first and second of May the three hundred or so voters (out of sixteen thousand inhabitants) had an election for positions on the Council. The result of this election was that the People's Party were enabled, in poker parlance, "to fill all their hand." They captured enough seats to give them the majority vote. This result made it less easy for the "naval party" to control the Council as they had previously gone with their appositive members, plus a few elective.
When the Council convened it was discovered that the unanticipated governor had neglected to send his customary letter of appointments (of the two newly appointive members) in time to have them entered upon the published agenda of the Council, as required by the law regulating the business of the Council. The government members grove, desperately to get the acting chairman to depart from the regular order of business and insert the belated letter of appointments in the fore-front of the agenda, which would have seated their two members at the goutet, giving the government an equal number of voters, as the People's party, and thereby enabling a government's party
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925
man to take the chair again, as he has been the custom from the rule of majority as applied In the Council. But the matter could not then be added to the order of business without a violation of that very law which both the governor and the members of the Council had sworn to faithfully uphold. In stating his side, the chair said, among other things, "I shall act, in accordance with the Colonial law and the rules of business (of the House). If the Government makes blunders I am not to be blamed for it." He therefore refused to depart from the law, in which resolution he was supported by all the members excepting those in favor of the government.
pose in favor of the government.
Let it be noted here that in due time the letter of appointments would have been reached before the close of that same day's session. But this did not meet the impatience wishes of another Marylander who was acting as government whip. Upon the refusal of the acting chairman to digress from the regular order of business a snappy wireless was sent to the governor, who was then in the island of St. Thomas. At once and without any investigation, this monarch of naval rule radiated a peremptory order dissolving the Council. Under the Dynes there had been but one dissolution of the Council in its 53 years of existence, and that was only done to give those persons who had become votes under the newly-refused franchise an opportunity to elect their representatives. What a commentary upon the ways in which the prejudiced southerners of the navy department are distributing spurious samples of America's democracy to the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands.
In the meanwhile another election has been held in St. Croix and the voters have again returned the People's Party to the Colonial Colonel as an answer to the governor. But the governor's castist methods should be met by a gigantic petition for his recall. His proper place is on one of the Navy's ships and not at the head of a colonial government. Thus the government, as the Times puts it, is naval with a tendency to arbitrary power. Something more hardy and more American than a casual temporary government should be provided for the inhabitants.
Congress may not dodge much longer its plain duty to the Virgin Islands without compromising the self respect of the nation.
Fifteen Thousand Germans Fighting for the French
BERLIN, June 10. - According to Berliner Tageblatt, 15,000 Germans are fighting on the French side, against Andel-Krim.
The Berlin newspapers state the Foreign Legion is 25,000 strong, with 50 per cent of them Germans recruited from remnants of the old army; adventurers, deserters and many separatists who aided the French in the occupied areas of Germany and who now think it best to disappear.

Virgin Islands Dry, Going Back to Bush, Says Judge
WASHINGTON, June 19. (A. P.)—Declaring that only a naval officer may drink in the Virgin Islands, former Federal Judge Lucious, J. M. Malmun of the islands has arrived in Washington to wage a fight for civil government for islands, which now are under naval jurisdiction.
Prohibition laws are being enforced on the island, he told Secretary Wilbur, under the guns of the navy. The passions, he asserted, are "practically going back to the bush and becoming less and less valuable to the United States."
The English flag, he declared is the only one carrying mail to the islands. Oil burning vessels, he added, have taken away a source of revenue formerly available through coal loadings. The Volstead act, he claimed, has killed off the manufacture of rum, and bay rum, with unfavorable reaction on sugar, and molasses production.
Judge Malmin declared that the navy dominated the administration of justice in the islands and that he would seek to have this situation changed.

white man to lead them, without his brains and organizing ability? It is, in the best interest of both black and white, that there should be in South Africa a white garrison; and it must be pure white. *Hear, Hear.* The only remedy for the problem was separation of the two races, each working along its own line. It was as bad for the white to exploit, the muscle and show of the black at it was for the black to drag down the white standard of living. If that were done it would be a double injury. Unless there was utter separation of the two races irretrievable runawanted both. The clearance of the black from the town as rapidly as possible was the problem that confronted them. He regretted the way in which the government had tackled the problem from the wrong end.
"The policy of Mr. Parker's reservation" concluded the Chancellor, "is utterly opposed to that which I advocate. Or, it proceeds on the basis that white and black should be side by side in the towns and compete against each other. Against that I protest." (Applause 5)
**Christian Oppression**
A native layman said he was glad to learn that the whites had come to Africa to civilize the aboriginals by means of the Colour Bar.
"Temerraway," he declared, "I must go back to my native congress and confess to my people that oppression is the teaching of civilization and Christianity."
Bishop Karney said that what they had to fight was the exploitation of either race. The way to deal with the problem was to raise the standard of living all round. It was unChristian and uncongenial to say to the natives: "Thus far shall 'thou go,' and no farther."
Boosting Trade Between Canada and West Indies
OTTAWA—A conference, which is expected to result in a new trade agreement between Canada and the West Indies will open here June 19. Traffic experts of the Finance Department and the Department of Trade and Commerce are now preparing data bearing on the tariff as its affects the countries concerned and this will be presented to the conference. Other departments of the Government have been instructed to gather information covering the field of communication via wireless and cable. At present, there is a trade agreement in force between Canada and the West Indies, entered into in 1920. It provides for the institution of a subsidized mail, passenger and freight steamship service between the islands and Canada. Since this agreement came into existence, and more particularly during the past year, it has been contended in the House of Commons that the steamship service is inadequate, with the result that trade between the United States and the West Indies has shown remarkable growth while that of Canada has not.

From the New York Times
LONDON, June 13—Albert-Krim in an interview with the correspondent of The Sunday Times asserted that if his country were not rich in minerals European powers would not be fighting to take the Riffs.
The correspondent, signing himself "One Who Knows Him," tells of Krim's resenting being called a brigand.
"Supposing we Riffians were strong enough to come over to England because we wanted to get your rich coal miner," said Krim; "supposing your army, led by your King, came out to fight us and we called your King a brigand, wouldn't you be amused? What's the matter with you Europeans you're so stupid! Am I not the most powerful chief in the Riff? Can the press deny it? Then who is more entitled to be king than 17
"If I had not been appointed King, my people would not have allowed me to stay here five minutes. Spain has been at war with us for thirty years without result. In our mountain stronghold we can defy the outskirts world. The Spanish Government sent an ultimatum saying wanted to negotiate with me a friendly settlement, intimating that if I did not fall in with their views they would instantly crush me. May I ask what they have been trying to do for thirty years? To our poor Moorish sense of humor this is very funny. It is a standing joke among the women of the harems.
"English and Americans are welcome to our country' because they bring us money. They come and they go as they please, without armed force. I only used 15,000 men against 150,000 Spanish. 20,000 of them are prisoners."
OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
ENSLAVE THE MIND AND YOU ENSLAVE THE BODY
COMPARATIVELY speaking the world has few thinkers. Humanity of all climes and races is led by the opinions and conclusions of a few chosen thinkers. Ask the average man on the street why he thinks the earth is round and he will readily tell you because the great Aristotle said the earth is a sphere. Ask the fashionably dressed lady of today when she wears knee-length dresses, and she will answer, "Because Paris decrees it this season." Whether it be in science, politics, or even style, the majority follow the dictates of a few. Man is an imitative animal anyhow, and lie depends-largely on the leaders of thought in his community, nation and race to think for him, while he executes. Who makes wars? The statesmen, bankers and capitalists of the world. Who fights in the wars? The masses who had no say in the making of them. Many wars of aggression would never have been waged if the people were given an opportunity to think for themselves and to answer the question, "To light or not to fight."
The educated man is not necessarily a thinker. He reflects the thoughts of real thinkers and, parrot-like, he can quote from the writings and theories of great men. But the really educated man is he who thinks for himself and is able to discover new truths. When the mind is enslaved physical slavery, in one shape or another, soon follows. If a man is taught from childhood that he is inferior, and he believes what he is taught without question, then He is truly inferior, as his mind makes him what he is. The minute he starts to think independently and to believe that he can do what others have done, then the state of his mind frees him from the inferiority ban and enables him to go out and achieve.
Nations hold other people in subjection by enslaving their minds. The oppressed are always made to believe that they are inferior by their oppressors and that Lord God made them only to be servants. Having acquired this state of mind, they become the willing tools of others their ambition dies in them, they stagnate because of their enslaved minds. Should any one among them discover himself and by thinking independently expose the system that holds his people in thraldom, he is dubbed a radical and an agitator, a dangerous fellow to be gotten rid of, as a colonyist in the New York American states:
"Socrates was condemned to death for corrupting the youth: that is, he was teaching them to think. To think is always dangerous. The really safe man is the man who does as other people do around him. He looks to the right and left and keeps step with the crowd. If a man is to think for himself and venture out on his own conclusions, he is pretty sure to get into trouble."
All men and women who have sought to enlighten the masses of their people have got into trouble, and many have had to suffer even death in their efforts to better conditions which surround them. A reformer must be prepared for sacrifices, even as Jesus, the world's greatest reformer, made them. He is usually misunderstood by his own people; those minds are in eclipse; his life is eagerly sought after by the oppressors, who see the end of their career if those whom they seek to exploit are taught to think for themselves; hence reformers usually pay the supreme sacrifice; but their efforts are never in vain, even though, they are unpopular in their lifetime. Long after they are dead their teaching lives and the oppressed benefit by their contributions.
Two weeks ago a white business man, in a conversation with this writer, said, "Garvey has made the greatest contribution to his race because he has taught Negroes to think for themselves." The white man knows the value of independent racial thought. It is the power that makes or breaks a people. Marcus Garvey knows that and is satisfied to bear his imprisonment cheerfully, because he has given a new thought to black men and women the world over. He has taught them to think in terms of race, to aspire toward nationhood, and the achievement of the highest and best in man, hence it will not be long before they will stand on a platform of equality with other races because of their achievements and contributions to civilization, and demand the respect and appreciation of those who now call them inferior. Truly the man or woman who teaches others to think, emancipates them altogether.

McAndrew Says They're Too Short—"So Are Salaries," Retort Teachers
CHICAGO, May 27. Sept. William McAndrew, formerly of New York, now directing the Chicago schools, wants the short skirts of the younger teachers lower and longer. He called a conference and told assistant superintendents the short skirts took attention of boy pupils off their studies. Principals took up the nascent with the teachers, but the latter at a meeting of the Teachers' Federation determined to ignore the Superintendent's wishes.
Miss Margaret Haley, business agent of the federation, spoke in uncompilatory terms of the Superintendent's views, saying: "When they lengthen salaries, it will be time enough to lengthen skirts."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1928
THE MISSIONARY'S WIDOW IN WEST COAST AFRICA
Written for The Negro World
By J. M. STUART-YOUNG
Who looks on Nature through the sweeping curves of an arched plaza has the advantage of a frame—Pictures are always incomplete until they are confined within the limits of a border.
In all the world there is nothing so fascinating, so dazzling, so inspiring as trees and fields thrown into luminosity by the ponderous gloom of a shadowed veranda. The eyes cannot envisage in the open-air with such vivid power as when the observer is hidden behind the curves of an arch. In that hollow he sees, outside he merely glimpses.
At more I stand and watch the curtain of my glorious picture framed by the plaza jaws walls. Crimson poppies and golden rose are strewn in the pathway of the God of Dawn—With his courtiers, the clouds, he treads majestically into the sky, white the flowers are scattered with even greater profusion before his feet. When he has climbed beyond the range of my arched perspective, I see a molten glory poured above the splendid blue and gold of the forest.
It is night. My lamps are turned low, for I love to watch the bungalows opposite awake to the activities of evening. My neighbor on the extreme left is a middle-aged woman, whose husband died a month ago. She is a missionary; and she has refused to return to Europe. Her fate did to die late or soon, in sun-drenched Omitia, and to be buried at his side.
As the dusk deepens she can be seen lighting her lamps, before she sits to read, and read. She rarely goes out; and her words are few. Toward only the Negro will she relent, and become human. To us, fellow-Europeans, she offers an attitude of fatal reappointment. It is as though she were morbidly jealous of our happiness. Has she not a quarrel with the Unknown, for robbing her so suddenly of her mate? He died after only one day's Blackwater fever.
I watch her. From her monotonous gestures, as she instructs the native servants upon tuval domestic affairs: from her absorption in her book (can it be a volume of spurious pernials?) while she edits from her hissitude-as she sits alight afterward, still tirelessly reading, I have made up her history. I tell it over to myself with a sigh. Decry termination, without patience, without rebuke. But her hair has gone gray inside four weeks.
Archest: What ever the ascene my frame adds beauty and strength to the picture.
You tell me, "But your interpretations may not be right."
And I make answer, "What does that matter? My pictures have a least their rightful frames!"
WOMAN HOLDS THE PURSE STRINGS OF. THE NATION
CLEVELAND, June 13. Woman is the great spender of the nation. She apparently has control of the family purse, according to Thomas P. Danahey of Detroit, chairman of the renting committee of the National Association of Building owners and Managers, which is holding its eighteenth annual convention at the Hotel Statler in Cleveland.
"The retail buying power is held by women, I am convinced after studying reports which have come to me from all parts of the nation covering dental conditions in retail distress," said Mr. Danahey. "With her buying power woman can either make a store a success or a failure, and the woman factor must be given great consideration in the operation of a store."
"Women do not like to climb stairs, though they will walk down a flight of stairs without objection. If stairs must be used there should be a landing at least every twelve steps, so that the ascent is easy. Men, on the other hand, will walk up or down, so that a sturdy men's store can be successful on the second floor.
"Women have their preference regarding the side of the street that they will stick to, too. As the result, we often find stores prospering on one side of the street while on the other the merchant may be having a difficult time. Usually they prefer the side of the street that is shady during their shopping hours, which fall in the afternoon period. But on streets where there are tall buildings that provide shade for the eastern side after 1 o'clock the women can be kept on the east side of the street."
Well Behaved Child
A well behaved child is a joy while badly trained ones are an annoyance. It is no kindness to a child to let it have its own way when that way is wrong or unduly disturbing. Children should-not be allowed to interrupt the conversation of their elders unless it is absolutely necessary, and should be taught to preface the interruption with a courteous request for permission to speak, as "I beg your pardon, mother, but may I ask you something?" Touch the young child to watch for simple and thoughtful courtesies to extend to its elders. This will be a great means of character development. Impress upon every child the respect due a good book in the way of clean hands and careful handling.
By EMILE GUIZOT
In the Cleveland Call
From a private nurse to the founder and general secretary of one of the greatest—social institutions in the world is the record and achievement of Jane E. Hunter.
Miss Hunter was born in Pendleton, South Carolina in 1884. After acquiring her elementary education in her home town, she received her academic training in the Ferguson and Williams college, a Presbyterian school at Abbeville, South Carolina. She then entered and was graduated from the McChellan Training School for Nurses, and also completed, a postgraduate course at the Dixie hospital, the Hampton Training school for Nurses.
In 1905 Miss Hunter came to Cleveland and for six years she did private nursing. Because of her intimate knowledge of and close contact with the colored people in the South, she was in a peculiar position to realize the urgent need for the establishing of an institution for the moral and physical welfare of a large group of Negroes who were coming early to the city of Cleveland. It was a natural procedure that Miss Hunter should decide to devote her life to social work.
In 1911 an institution was founded for the purpose of protecting colored girls who came to Cleveland and to offer those girls who had received little or no training an opportunity to acquire a fundamental education. It also provided recreation for the colored girls of Cleveland. This institution was named the Phillips Whegley Association, in honor of a colored girl of pre-Revolutionary times who made the most of her opportunities and became a talented poets. James Thurber was a Widow of a new day. In spite of her unusual experience and training she felt that she needed further academic knowledge to put over her program. In 1913 she went to New York and completed a special semester course at the national office of the Y. W. C. A.
Only those living in or near Cleveland can fully appreciate the rock and triangles of anyone trying to put over a social or educational program which apparently borders on segregation. The story of the Phillis Wheatley Association and Jane E. Hunter, if printed, would read like fiction as romantic as the days of the Arabian Nights.
Miss Hunter came to Cleveland she says and she conquered.
In 1911 the Phillis Wheatley Association was a boarding house, accommodating 22 women and with a yearly budget of $1,000. Today this remarkable institution has given birth to four children, all boarding the magazine of the Phillis Wheatley Association. Recently the serves about 250 meals a month. It has a yearly budget of $76,666 and property valued at $14,000. Only a few months ago more $60,000 was given to the Phillis Wheatley Association in order to meet the needs of its present program.
And Miss Hunter is still a student. Four years ago she entered the Cleveland Law School. Now week she will receive her degree in law. Her name is known throughout the country and the CALL is greciously happy to look upon Miss Hunter as one of the great pioneers of the race.

How to Avoid Divorce
By LADY BUCKMASTER
BY LADY BUCKMASTER
Wife of the former Lord Chancellor of England, where "didcore cases on appeal" were filed. (From the N. Y. Ammonsal.)
(From the N. Y. American)
How is it that, marriage when begins with such passionate devotion, such serious resolves, such solemn vows, should end so often in disillusionment, in discord, even in mutual detestation? Is there no way of averning such a crushing catastrophe? I think there is.
Let the young above all things avoid the share of basty marriages, which generally entrap them into leisurely repentances.
The triumphal arch of marriage should rest on the sure foundation of a tried friendship, and her keystone should be mutual respect. Respect is the only foundation for a happy marriage or a successful career.
If respect be few fortified, the joy and delight of marriage should increase and strengthen with the lengthening roll of years.
The fetters must never be likewise or interface with the liberty of each partner, but there must be no deceit, concealment or subterfuge, for true partnership is impossible where there is mutual trust.
Jahsh Shofikeken in his best: "A man to the other such as this: 'Thy wives shall be my sorrows, they joy shall be my joy; whither they good, I will go, and where their good, I will look; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; the Lord do so to me and more also if aught but death part thee and me'." Ideal narratives are very nice, like many other offers which might be and are not, but I think all of us know of some.
As a rule, a woman must not expect much, remembering that both are provably "April when they are weeding December when they are wet, to one thing constant river." If she can continue to keep her health, her boss, her temper, her spirits, and a good table she will stand, a chance of being tolerated to the end.
Mortality may be compared to a game of "table for three" in chance of success. Partners play their hands combined.
"Today if a customary to champ-partners in marriage is in bridges, as a rule in neither case is such improved theology.
One of our "natural-born platoon" secretly told his audience at the 18th Baptist Church there are 65 in Washington that "The Ethiopian is prognosticous and dolichoholous" Great appalling followed the statement. CPR

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 scalps 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.

"We are enumerating a few of the diseases incident to babyhood and early childhood in order to trace out a numerous and important class of diseases, which are transmitted from parent to child, for diseases, like features, have a strong tendency to be reproduced in the child, and this tendency is known under the name of hereditary predisposition. Those constitutional predispositions to disease which are due to this cause and which are apparent in the young child, are sorbula, syphilis, tuberculosis and rickets.
These discussed conditions are so often met with in children and they are so very serious in their workings and results, that it will be instructive to know how far we are enabled to prevent their manifestation, or, having appeared, how far it is possible to hinder progress in the individual cases as they arise. Serofaia is one of these constitutional peculiarities which may be inherited from the parents or acquired by the child through neglect of its guardian in matters of food, fresh air, and other necessary conditions of
healthy life. The results are often more significant than the mere or both of these having evident alarms indicative of geriatrics or syphilis, from which it sometimes originates. If the disease exists in the mother, she could to some extent modify its appearance in her offspring by careful attention to her health during pregnancy; a great deal could be done to counteract heropathy by obtaining medical treatment. Syphilis commonly manifests itself in the infant during the second or third month of its existence. If the mother is the cause of this, she should not nurse her baby. The same precautions should be taken if she is tubercular. Brackets most commonly shows itself in a child, aged, from six months to two years. It is undoubtedly inherited from the parents of scrupulous habit to which it is somewhat allied. Tuberculosis is also a prediagnosing cause, but it is a disease which is perhaps

JOBABO, CUBA
Sunday, May 21, the Jobohe Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, No. 224, held a very grand mass meeting and election. The meeting was for the purge of slamming the petition to His Excellency the President of the United States, for pardon of Hon. McNeese Garvey. The attendance was very large, and could see by the manner of members and friends that each and every one was in great sympathy with our great leader.
The mass meeting was very short, and was followed by the gifting of the petition, which was done in quite a manner to show how much the Negro race had at heart the movements of Mr. Garvey, though three-quarters of those who signed their signatures are not yet members.
There had been no time in the history of this division when the people of Joliet were more enthusiastic than on May 21, when placements were posted for the meeting, and the purpose of the meeting.
Secondly, election to fill the vacant post of president, for our division, which had been pending, for over a year, since the absence of Robert A. Barrett. There were many candidates for the election and the result came off very satisfactory to the general membership from the fact that Mr John E. Campbell the first vice-president, had been elected as president On Monday and Tuesday, May 25 and 26, our newly elected president went to nearby every home in the vicinity of debate to have more signatures to the petition, as there had been many who were unable to attend the meeting. On Wednesday, May 27. The petition was sent to President Coolidge at Washington, D.C. Forlore "Forlore!" We erred in the holiest name, forlore. He hath conquered regions wide, but will not slumber

Make all thy nipples one.
Until he shall reign alone;

PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor
La campaña de Abd-el-Krim contra los franceses en Marruecos es una consecuencia inevitable de sus felices operaciones contra los españoles. Krim personalmente siempre se mostra cuidado al decir a los periodistas franceses que le visitan, ban, que el no tenia idea de desanar la ocupación francesa. Pero alquenos de sus protegidos fueron menos cautos. Sabian, y el mismo Krim sabia, que su programa comprendía la resistencia contra el protectorado frances lo mismo que contra el protectorado español. Su illanamiento racial, religioso y politico, se dirigía al resentimiento de los nativos contra, todas formas de intervención y dominación extranjera.
Debemos independizarnos industrial, económica y politicamente—La constitución de un gobierno propio en Africa para protección de la raza universalmente se impone—Grandes dificultades en el futuro a menos que no apoyemos el programa de nuestra organización—Tememos el que nos sea negado el sagrado derecho a nuestra existencia toda vez que no nos consolidemos
1. observando el curso de los acontecimiento en lo que a nuestra raza respecta, tenemos la creencia de que el problema de nuestra elemento en esta parte del globo dentro de cincuenta años más, será resuelto por medio de un plan económico restrictivo impuesto por el hombre blanco, a menos que no reconozcamos nuestro poder como raza y nos consolidemos para independizarnos industrial, económica y politicamente. Con tal motivo la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra aboga por la constitución de un gobierno propio en Africa, el cual proteja los intereses generales de nuestro pueblo en el universo entero.
Krim no reconoce la soberania del sultan Muey Hafid. Ha creado un estado rífeo independiente. Se ha convertido en una espécie de rival del sultan, cuya misión es liberar a Marrucos entero, y tal vez a toda Angelia, en el interés de la restauração política de los arabes y para la mayor gloria del Islam. Tales suenos han sido acaricados por otros leaders del norte de África. Krim estaba destinado a compartirlos, una vez que descubrió la facil que fue batir a los españoles.
El mariscal Lyautey ha salido desde hace-muchos meses lo que se proponía el cabecilla rifeno. Está llamado de el poder que sostiene al gobierno de Fez a proteger a las tribus de la región limítrofe con el Riff, que son leales al sultan legitimo. Ha manteniendo escrupulosamente a las tropas francas fuera del territorio rifeno y español. Pero no podía haber evitado tener planes disguuestos para hacer frente a la vigencia rifena. El ejército francés de Marruecos es un contingente excelemente preparado y competente para luchar, y no debería tener dificultades en batir a las menus discipuladas tropas de Krim. La verdadera angenaza de un levantamiento en Marruecos estaria en su atractivo en escala nacional para la patriotismo fanático y el celo religioso. Pero Krim es política y religiosamente un reheble contra el jefe reconocido del estado native que también mantiene su derecho al califato islamico. Como libertad del Riff del dominio español Krim desempeso un papel bien dentro de su capacidad. Al abordar la suplantación de Muley Hafid y la creación de un nuevo imperio moslemite norte-africano, estará aventurandose en un campo mucho más dificil y peligroso.
Ella se halla grandemente interesada en el futuro de nuestro pueblo; como un grupo, parte integrante de la gran familia humana, estamos en el deber de laborar en armonia en pro de nuestro progreso, siempre que no querramos perecer en el inmenso mar de las decepciones. La constante amenaza de la destrucción de nuestra raza obliga a esta organización a promulgar un entusiasmo universal, con la esperanza de infundir en el espiritu de nuestro pueblo un sentimiento de acción, que le garantice la estadidad de su propia conservación. Bajo este punto de vista llamamos la atención a nuestro elemento en general, para que haga su resolución en todo cuanto respecta al alto propósito del programa que estamos empeñados en realizar.
Anhelamos más acción unisona, más deseo cooperativo
y mayor aún la cantidad de simpatia que hacia nuestra causa hemos demostrado en años anteriores.: Hemos sido víctima de la falta de tal influencia inferna; en vez de simpatizar con nuestros esfuerzos en pro del adelanto de la raza, distintas unidades y varios grupos de nuestro elemento se han constituido en grandes barreras, para obstaculizar la buena marcha de todo aquello que hayamos emprendido en beneficio del negro. El mundo en que vivimos esta repleto de maldad e injusticia y la continuación de este estado erroneo de cosas, transformará nuestra civilización y nuestra vida mas allá de nuestro propio reconocimiento; en escala obligada iremos cambiando los actuales régimenes, y quien sabe a donde iremos a parar y que gobierno nos será imputo.
Traslado de los pueblos
Guando los Estados Unidos adoptaron una política de restricción de la inmigración fue evidente que produciría consecuencias en oras partes del mundo. Una de las más interesantes consecuencias ha sido la creciente importante inmigración a Francia, especialmente de judianos. Ha habido de hace tiempo un movimiento de policía a través de los Alpes marítimos hacia el sudeste de Francia, fomentado en parte por el predio nom de personas de origen italiano en aquello region. Pero la reciente inmigración ha producido cierta intranquilidad en Francia, que teme la presencia de grandes colonias de extranjanos. Es exacto que han ido al norte de Francia millares de polacos después de la guerra. Se les empleo en la rehabilitación de las regiones devastadas. Pero a los polacos no se les miro ni se les mira como colonizadores permanentes. Es distinto con muchos de los italianos.
Esa gradación política social obedece a la consecución de mas justicia, mas no obstante todas estas variantes tendientes a niveler el mundo y establecer asl un equilibrio permanente, para que el hombre encuentre su anhelada justicia, así con todo, es avance en lo político y en lo social, vemos que nos encontramos cada vez más lejos de ese ideal tan buscado y tan deseado para nuestra satisfacción propia. En el orden general de las cosas, los débiles somos los mas oprimidos por el crimen de injusticia establecido; por ley de conveniencias, el hombre fuerte tiende a la opresión del desafortunado.
La situación toda descansa y parece desarrollarse así, por la cantidad de fuerza que aporte el individuo, la raza 6 la nación en orden progresivo. Constando como verdad este practicismo impuesto por el orden de cosas existentes, nuestra organización predica la unión entre los negros, tanto para la defensa del individuo, como de la comunidad, como de la raza en general. Nuestro consuelo deberá estribar en que todas las razas tienen su dia de apogeo, sin duda nuestro dia ha de llegar. No hemos de prestar atención alguna al poderio anormal ni al mentido progreso de los otros, creyendo con ello que el mundo y la humanidad descansan en base firme. En un momento la creación puede desaparecer y los hombres, las razas y las naciones ser barridos y llevados al recinto de la existencia.
Cifras publicadas recientemente demuestran que emigraron a Francia doscientos treinta y un mil italianos durante el aio de 1924. Eso significaba más de la mitad de la inmigración total italiana en ese año. La mayoría de ellos tenían la ocupación de albaníles, mozos de la branza y braceros. Solo fueron a ultramar 130.000 italianos durante el año, de los que más de la mitad se dirigieron a la Argentina y una tercera parte a los Estados Unidos. Recientes restrictiones basadas en las profesiones y que ha adoptado el gobierno argentino han tendido a reducir, el exodo aqueil país. Durante el año corriente habrá mucho mayores reducciones en la emigración al Nuevo Mundo, ya que la ley de restricción de la inmigración que entró en vigencia en junio pasado reduce el total de la inmigración italiana a algo menos de cuatro mil en comparación con cerca de cuadrenta mil bajo las leyes anteriores.
Lo ocurrido a las razas, a las naciones y a las humanidades puede facilmente volver a ocurrir. La copilación de todas estas pruebas de edades y civilizaciones nos ha legado un dejo, amargo de resentimiento, proceso antagonico envuelto en un espritu de venganza, que ha venido transmitiendose de pueblo a pueblo, de raza a raza, de humanidad a humanidad, llegando este bagaje de injusticia hasta las puertas del siglo veinte, y dada la poca preparación de alma de esta centuria, el amplio edificio de nuestra actual civilización, ha acogido con beneplacito las mismas teorfas, los mismos preceptos inquisitoriales, amparados hipocritamente bajo el ropaje de un progreso mentido, que tiene por lema el poder del fuerte contra el debil.
La actual civilización ha caido en un descepso de tan baja degradación, que esta loca con su poder arrogante y usurador, buscando en el tamboleo de su pedestal material toda la injusticia, todo el fraude y toda la mentira para con este nefando bagaje, destruir el formato de todo sentimiento grande, de toda causa noble defendida por los pequeños, por los débiles desamparados de la fortuna. Más si aparemente estamos anquilados por el sistema de influencia actual, al estímulo sometidos a un poder tani derije dado el presente régimen social imperante que aumenta arruinar la causa justa y noble que defendemos, supuesto en el conveniencia de que esta disgraca al carrillo del tiempo, se levantará triumphante y escurecera sus gran replandor, la constancia turbina de los viles
Las consecuencias políticas de estos movimientos de población no se han presentado todavía abiertamente. Es interesante notar, sin embargo, que Francia empieza aocupare del peligro de tener demasiados extranjeros dentro de sus frontieras, y puede por consiguiente adoptar la actitud de los Estados Unidos y los dominios británicos en las conferencias mundiales sobre immigration y amiguración. Itaquí los estudios tratando de combinar la concepción de immigration y amiguración
asunto de política interior en cuestión internacional. y no es probable que acoja bien tal actitud de parte de Erancía. Ha sido esperanza de muchos italianos que sus emigrantes formen, de hecho; verdaderas colonias en el extranjero que permanezcan leales a Italia, y sobre las guales Italia pudiera ejercer por lo menos una influencia moral. Este punto de vista es común a tedas las naciones que exportan trabajadores. Pero no es compatifido por las naciones que los importan. Acerca de esta cuestión es probable que haya muchas discusiones.
Hasta Cuando?
Este país obligo al Senado haitiano a la ratificación de un tratado en 1915. Citamos las palabras, del almirante Caperon, de la Armada de los Estados Unidos que siguiendo ordenes de Washington era el encargado del asunto: "El carácter de miura administración en Haiti en ese tiempo, era sencillamente de dominio militar". Los marinos ejercen alli 'aun es dominio, con un presidente haitiano como testefero para llevar a cabo sus ordenes.
El tratado haitiano debia, según sus términos, ser válido por un período de diez años después de las ratificaciones, y por otros diez años si por culpa de una de las partes no se habian cumplido las condiciones en su totalidad. No hay indicio algufo que los Estados Unidos tengan intención de abandonar el dominio militar que impuso alli antes de entrar en vigor el tratado. Pero los americanos no pueden permanecer indiferentes, a menos de ignorar la realidad de los hechos, a la aplicación de los haitianos por medía de su organización nacionalista, para que se aparezre la restatución de las formas regulares de gobierno y la intervención americana sea reducida al minimo.
Desde 1917, cuando el presidente Dartignueva dissolvió los dos Camaras, no ha habido elecciones ni sesiones en las Camaras, que bajo la dominicana-americana han sido superimidas. En 1922 fue nombrado presidente Luis Borno, por el Consejo de Estado, cuerpo compuesto de veintiim miembros nombrados por el presidente y que el presidente puede destituir a voluntad, o en otras palabras, a voluntad del alto conisario americano, apoyado por el general Russell y sus marinos.
El periodo del presidente Borno termina el año proximo, pero con un Consejo de Estado nombrado por el, podra elegir a si mismo, su tener en cuenta la antipatia que le tiene el pueblo haitano, con el apoyo del jefe de los marinos. Como la constitución haitiana prescribe que las elecciones le licitavas se celebren en año par y que la fecha sea hija de por decreto presidential con tres meses de anticipación, los nacionalistas haitianos pueden que curenta miembros de la Cámara de los diputados y diecises senadores sean elegidos el proximo eno de otro modo el gobierno representante de Haiti no puede restaurarse hasta 1928 o despues.
Si se acede a esta demanda, el presidente Borno tendrá que publicar su decreto en el presumo octubre. Pero no es agente libre; actuará como se lo indiquen sus consejeros americanos. ¿Que razon puede aducirse para no dar este paso hacia el gobierno libre democrático? La elección de una legislatura haitiana no afecta en ningún modo la convención americana con Haiti. Se llevaría a cabo mientras dura la ocupación americana en Haiti "donde los marinos americanos garantizarian el orden". ¿Qué activitud a tomar la administración respecto a Haiti? Va a ser la ocupación militar indefinida o se va a volver al gobierno representativo de los haitianos bajo salvaguardias-razonables?
Emprésitito Dominicano
La convention celebrace recitamente entre los Estados Unidos y la República Dominicana; autorizaba un empréstito dominicano por un total de vinte y cinco millones de dólares para la refundición de la deuda del pais y dedica el resto a mejoras internas, por lo cual se requiere ahora la legislación dominicana al efecto.
Las deudas alcanzan a trece millones, pero los peritos financieros creen que la refundición de la deuda se llevará a cabo por cuotas, aprovéchándose de las ventajas del mercado. Tiene enriquido que los dominicanos necesitan aproximadamente cien mil dólares mensuales para obras, públicas, inclusive la construcción de caminos.
El ministro en Washington, declaró que los anunciados disturbios revolucionarios en la república son infundados. Dicha declaración fue hecha despada de recibir un cablagrama del presidente general Vásquez y del secretario de estado en que me amo la comunican. En dicho momento me asigno que remite transmisión en toda la república.

WEEKLY·SERMON
By G. EMONI CARTER
Subject: "Confidence Makes for Courage"
Text (Ps. 108:1): "O God, my heart is fixed."
This is the cyr of a man who had many varied experiences, "all of, which lens color to his life and its unfolding."
The cry represents a decision reached after he had been convinced that a settled will, for God and right was productive of much good, not only to him, but to those who came after him.
To have a heart fixed upon God, to have your mind made up to do the will of God, is not an easy task. It requires much courage; and this courage comes because of our intimate knowledge of having tried and proved God in severe moments of trish.
Confidence in God is not born in a moment, nor is it the result of mere speculation; but it is the result of being made conscious of his being, and being brought into the light of his everyday interest in our plans. This confidence is evolved out of the fullness of our experiences and is the embodiment of hope deferred, love resurrected and courage which knows no defeat. When a man or woman becomes fully awakened to a righteous cause and his will is made up to dare and die, then that man or woman is able to cry about David and say "Occluded, my heart (will) is fixed (stealthy)!" It requires courage to make such a declaration; but this courage is forthcomin' when confidence, in the queue is sufficient to make hold the assertion. The assertion is made because that maker knows that Truth cannot fail and will get, a rightful hearing in its own time, which is the now.
Thousands of men and women of color are crying aloud. My heart is fixed. O God, because they have caught the vision and the light of a new day has dawned. This vision grows believer, because confidence in God, their fellow men and themselves, helps them to trust.
Our wills are steadfast because six years, following in a well-heated path, whose light has emanated from an inspired source, has governed us that God wants a rate of men, and women who can be trusted in putting over a big job. God wants men and women who will not only speak for Him, but who will live for Him; men and women who will fight. His battles because they know that every action is related to action and that resping is had in this life rather than the great day of judgment.
A fixed heart! What is worth! To the one who possesses such an pristine. To the human family it is a treasure to be desired. To God it is a passport for Elsian Heights.
Let us raise a race out of one touch-out for fixed purpose in life. Let us set the opportunity to do and seek our God's will as it is to be manifested toward men. Let us give credit where it is due and place our guidance in trustworthy fields of light.
When there are 600,000 fixed will, steadfast in God and truth, the world will be because of its sons. Men of one color will undeterreded men of another color will undeterreded men shall be measured unto their because of the condidence in the unfailing Source. So courage to great hosts of determined, single-minded people who minds are strained on God.
Expansion Follows Migration From-South, It Is Said
Expansion Follows Migration From-South, It Is Said
(COLUMBIAN Press Bureau)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Economists far and near are baling with delight the findings which a recently made survey of the South have brought to light. The survey shows that in the solid area, beforehere solely dependent upon the cotton industry and agriculture, facturing is now a equal financial importance. Birmingham pig and steel are now finding markets in the Northwest and overseas; whereas a few years ago its limitations were restrictive. In yardage of woven goods, the cotton-growing States flow show an output which compares with New England's output as 4 to 3; and the South is now utilizing its climate, soil, and water power, mineral and forest resources, together with modern machinery and equipment. In a way as never before.
These changes have become most marked during the past decade which witnessed the departure from the South of more than a million Negroes, the majority of whom had labored long and faithfully to produce wealth for the South. And the effects of so great a loss of efficient labor were made more noticeable when the restricted immigration regulations, fostered by the Resistance in the endeavor to protect American industry from an influx of foreign labor, became fully effective. In the South, necessity became the mother of invention, and a remarkable progress, which cheers the world, has ensued.
This new progress in the South is being slowly augmented by greater educational advantages for Negroes. Those leaders in the South, who are rejoicing at the general improvement are realizing as never before that the South's educational and social systems must, like its industrial and agricultural systems, be made over again. An equal degree of progress in education, civic privileges, and law enforcement for all its citizens, will mean a fulfilment of American standards for that part of our country which has been the hope of all the great national leaders since the days of Lincoln and Douglass. Let the white South and the black South devise together that each may have its just place in American independence and freedom.

The New York State Department of Health has arranged a series of special lectures to be given throughout the State as a part of its educational work in venereal disease control. These lectures, five in number, are to be delivered by men and women of wide experience and special knowledge in sex education and venereal diseases. The titles and the aims of the lectures are as follows:
"Social Hygiene Education" presents to parents, educators, welfare workers and civic organizations the possible methods for directing the sex instinct into constructive channels.
"Coaching Your Roy on Life's Problems" is intended to advise fathers on the value of sex in the development of normal adolescent boys.
"The Gift of Sex" a similar lecture for mothers and daughters, deals with the value of sex in the development of the individual, the community and the human race.
"Building for Manhood" aims to give adolescent boys accurate scientific information regarding the sex imposition and to inspire them with ideals of clean, healthy, and self-respect. The focus is on loyalty, chivalry and the love for a square deal.

Will Help the Ship Fund And Garvey Day Fund
To the Editor of The Negro World!
I want to say now, the time has come for the Negroes to do something better side up. I know that each member of the U. N. I. A. can give $1 each to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company once a month as a donation. I shall give $1 each month for myself and $1 for my wife, and also for the protection of Mr. Garvey I shall give $2 on the first Sunday of each month.
Marcus Garvey as the Great Hero of Our Race
To the Editor of The Nogro World:
About 1,000 years ago, Jesus came into the world to lead and direct His people. And as Jesus gave Him life we find that some believed on Him and others did not. They mocked Him, scuffed Him, spat on Him, and did all manner of things to Him, but not withstanding, as we go down the long trail of life, we see Him (Jesus) unto death even the death of the cross. So, as we compare the past time with the present, we see that the Hon. Marcus Garvey's fate is similar to that of Jesus.
Five years ago Hon. Marcus Garvey came on the scene to be a leader and director for the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We find that this great man has suffered many things. First, we see him going to the tombs, and now to Atlanta Prison, suffering for me, and for you, just as our Lord suffered for my sins, and yours. He hears the punishment of prison all for his own race, that you and I may better our conditions in life, make better men and women of ourselves, establish a nation as the other folks have done to better their conditions. Still with all of his mockings and his suffering, we see him a great hero in the fight, heroism runs through his very veins, just as Jesus was a hero and shore His sufferings.
Mr. Island and His $1 Ship Proposition
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Division No. 78, Cloe de Auffin, of which I am Second, Vice President, has been watching carefully how splendidly the many divisions have been adopting and complying with my proposition to the membership of the U. N. I. A., the making of a present of one dollar by, every member to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, for the purpose of floating a line of steamships second to none in the near future. Owing to the fact that the vision of such an easy possibility has been caught in this division, we have decided not to run last, therefore, every member of this division has resolved to make self-denial and cast in his and her dollar. I hope that the divisions which have not yet complied will do so early so that if the Hon. Marcus Garvey shall have to serve five years in jail, when he shall have come back to us, he will find, two ships on the seas beside the one he left. Let us prove

A Port Limon View Of What Is Needed
To the Editor of The Nogro World.
Please allow me space in your life-
giving paper to express to the fullest
my sentiments of praise to the Hon-
marc Marcus Garvey for welcoming the
spirit of nationhood and a redeemed
Africa among us.
The white race knows well that this movement is right, and I don't believe any of them is so pleased when any black person goes to them about Mr. Garvey's business, for they know when they were organizing themselves together no 'black man or woman could ever dare to interfere. What I would like to see among us, as Negroes, is to leave off back-talk and call other faults and just link up in peace, harmony, unity and love. This work does not want only-big men and big talk. It wants big minds, big work and good sense that will give peace and justice to the whole world.

Unconquerable Hope Justice Will Prevail
Henry Marcus Garvey, the Negro world shout see by now, is absolutely unconquerable in his hope and efforts for Africa's redemption. He is physically conquered, but spiritually he is unconquerable. Through his hope he sees light and victory ahead. Though physically conquered by his enemies, in and out of his race, he possesses forward spiritually against every kind of discouraging obstacle. Though incarcerated, he is always cheerful, always strong in courage, which the Negroes of the world will do well to follow for the goal of Africa's redemption. The most pitiful of all peoples are those who have lost their hope. Having no hope in Jehovah and no human effort combined, a people is lost. May the Great Architect of the Universe so miraculously include this race of men to hope in Him, with every effort combined, that concession, for that matter, he the physical—yes, even spiritual—upkeep of this apostle and martyr of Africa's redemption. The hope he has set before us, is the strong encouragement and refuge of a redeemed continent. Hope, combined with effort, is then, something for my people to lay hold of as the foundation of encouragement.
If the Negro race less loses it is because it has no courage. Jehovah, ever more, give us the spirit of hope and efforts. Possessing grace, we have both encouragement and admorage. A race as we are, possessing a steadfast, intelligent hope and efforts in Jehovah, is not turned about by every little storm of trial and treachery, for we would be anchored to the epistles of Hon. Marcus Garvey, the apostle to the African race throughout the world. In his epistles to his race, the apostle tells us that in hope and efforts we have assuredly a redeemed Africa. Patiently, steadfastly, courageously, will our people endure, finally exist, if we possess the anchor of hope.
Do we observe, as we read the prophecy of Ethiopia's Day, that we should have patience, combined with efforts.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925
which give us the blessed hope of an Africa redeemed? In all oversee, majorial, even spiritual, it is first cause then effect. If we as a race would have the results we must have the twin chains—hope and efforts. And we must bear in mind that the great central point of our hope comes through the trust we must have in the Lord Jehovah, for in Him is everlasting strength. Looking for the blessed hope with our efforts in the name of Jehovah. He will, by his afore-determined plan, redeem to us the continent of our forefathers in a similar miraculous way that He delivered the Israelites of olden times. The anchorage of 400,000,000 or more sons and daughters of Africa, at home and abroad, in hope with efforts. Let our minds feed continually upon the prophecy of old, and with hope and efforts of the Negro world. Africa will be redeemed, and not many years hence. Lastly, let, our race pray, evening, morning and midday—even midnight—for both the protection of his body and his spirit, and so temper the heart of the Chief Executive of these United States of America that he may release; at no distant date, the physical form of Hon. Marcus Garvey.

Get Together and Stick And Fight All the Time
Editor of The Negro World:
I am not a member of the U. N. I. A.,
but hope to become one in the near
future. Marcus Garvey has taught me
something. I never knew anything
until I began to read the Negro World.
I should like to say much more than
I can write here. Remember that Marcus
Garvey warned you that some one will
take the country that you now call your
own. Negroes, take Marcus Garvey's
advice and do one thing that is reasonable,
one thing that is possible; that is,
get together in America, in the West
Indies, in Africa, in South and Central
America, and organize and stay organized,
so that the U. N. I. A. can bring
about the freedom, the liberty, that we pray for.

Cuba in the Best of Spirits
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Leaving home for two months and visiting several sections of Cuba. I have returned with a double spirit to fight for the cause of African redemption. Why? Because the spirit is now existing throughout the Isle of Cuba, since the imprisonment of our leader, has turned even the crates to become Garveyytes. Today we of Cuba say, "If we must die, we must die on the way, because it is better to die fighting for something than to die fighting for nothing.

Time to Work and Fight Is Now Upon Us
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Through our noble leader, the Hon
Marus Garvey, we find there are other
great men with noble ideas turning
over a new leaf each day for the re-
tief of our fellow man and the re-
demption of our Motherland, Africa. May
the S. S. Booker T. Washington ever
float upon the face of the mighty deep.
May the Hon. Marus Garvey he
crowned With the blessings of, good
health, as he sits in prison for four
hundred million Negroes, some of whom
laugh him to seep.
Why, the day is over; yes, life days
have passed. The time has come for
the Negro to fight for his rights. You
can't get anything free nowadays.
You must pay if it is in blood. The
day has come for loyalty. We must
love one another. If we will just unite
and stick together, in another seven
years there will be no need to separate,
for the struggle will be so far spent.
Let us carry on and out the program wrought by our noble hero. His hope is that we be loyal to him and the organization. If we have been sleeping, let us wake up now, for the day is over. This train doesn't carry any sleepers. If you would go, you must be

Some people think you must go to Africa if you would see a wild man or woman, but that's a mistake. The wild folks are right here in America.

(From The New York Times)
Passports are necessary for travel in all countries but Canada, Newfoundland, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Cuba Dominican Republic, Honduras and Mexico (if one goes direct to Mexico without stopping over in route) and Jamaica when the person is a tourist and holds a round trip ticket. Paraguay also does not require a passport of Americans, but the countries through which one must pass to reach Paraguay require passports.
Any American, native or naturalized, may apply for a passport at a passport agency of the Department of State or, in cities where there are no such offices, at the nearest Federal or State court authorized to naturalize alliens. The Department of State mainlines passport agencies in New York, Room 140, Custom House, Bowling Green, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco. A fee of $10 is charged for the passport.
There are four different application forms; a special form for native citizens, American-born persons or those born abroad of American ancestry; another for naturalized citizens, a third for persons claiming citizenship through the naturalization of husband or parent, and a fourth for citizens of the insular possessions of the United States.
Must Prove Citizenship
An applicant for a passport must present documentary proof of his citizenship and his previous passport if one has been issued to him since Jan. 2, 1915. The proof of American citizenship usually consists of a copy of the applicant's birth or baptismal certificate or an affidavit sworn to before a notary by either parent, a brother or sister or some other relative, preferably an older person. If an affidavit of a relative is not available, some other person may make an affidavit.
Restrictions for Women
A woman married prior to September 22, 1922, must present evidence of her husband's birth in the United States or his naturalization certificate. An American woman whose marriage took place after September 21, 1922, must present evidence of her own American citizenship when applying for a passport separately or jointly with her husband. An alien woman married to an American citizen since that date does not acquire the citizenship of her husband. In that case a passport cannot be issued to her unless she has acquired citizenship in her own right.
An applicant, born abroad of an American father must submit proof of

this father's birth in this country of his naturalisation. Naturalised citizens and all persons who claim citizenship through naturalisation of a husband or parent must submit their own naturalisation certificates, or those of the persons through whom they claim American citizenship. A person who has once submitted evidence of citizenship need not do so again. He should refer to his previous application.
An applicant for a passport must bring with him an identifying witness who will sign the avidavit on the back of the application form. The identifying witness, either man or woman, should be an American citizen who must swear before the passport agent that the applicant is the person he represents himself to be. Expired passports issued since Jan. 3, 1918, bearing signed photographs of the applicant, may be used as identification instead of a witness.
Get Return Permits
Non-citizens embarking on a trip to Europe must present income tax receipts or certificates of exemption and secure a sailing permit issued by Internal Revenue officials, without which no alien will be allowed to sail. This should be done at least twenty-four hours before sailing. Resident aliens who intend to come back must get a return permit from the Department of State or a non-quota visa from an American consul abroad.
Return permits can be obtained only in the United States. 'Application for such a permit is made on a special form and should be sent to the Commissioner General of Immigration at Washington, with two photographs, 2½ by 36 inches, in size. The application should be accompanied by a postal money order for $8. Separate application, photographs and money order must be submitted for each person traveling, adult or child. A return permit is issued for one year and may be extended for six months. It takes about from four to six weeks to obtain a return permit from Washington, as the Ellis岛 records of the immigrant must be verified.
Passengers who are not in possession of a permit to re-enter, but who wish to return to the United States, must visit the nearest American consulate abroad and make an application for a non-quota visa to return. A fee of $10 is charged for such a visa. Applicants must furnish proof that they are returning to the United States within six months of their departure from this country, that they were legally admitted to the United States originally and that they have maintained their domicile there. Passports, income tax receipts, bank books or a certificate of identity sworn to by the steamship compamy may be submitted as evidence of the passenger's previous legal residence in the United States. A violation of these rules renders a person liable to deportation upon his return to this country.

Wade, Hatch, Shaffer—all spoke of
them in the highest terms.
"Does anyone remember how Capt.
tainlain Dodge of the 8th Cavalry, with
his company of colored troops, recoued
Major Thornburg from magasac, who
had been surrounded by the Indians?
"Captain Dodge told me that it was
a turn of the hand as to whether any
of them came out alive, but when he
told his men the situation and gave the
order to advance a cheer went up from
every man. Captain Dodge was made
a major for his bravery and trans-
ferred 'to the pay' department and
finally paymaster general.
I was post trader at one of the Texas military posts for a great many years and never heard an officer speak of the colored troops except in the very highest terms as to their bravery and good soldier quality, all of which I observed during my years at the post. I therefore say all honor to them, and they deserve and should receive the gratitude of all of our citizens.
