MARCUS GARVEY SOUNDS WARNING TO RACE AGAINST TREACHERY AND SELFISHNESS OF "CONFIDENCE MEN" VOL. XIX. No. 9 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greetings: I take this opportunity to sound a solemn warning to you to be steadfastly on guard against the machinations and wickedness of those within the race or the group in a position to injure. These agents of the devil have come and will come to you with oily phrases and sanctimonious mein and the word of God on their lips. Flattery and cajolery are their weapons. They worm their way into your confidence, and when the poison has begun to work they strike. So keep a sharp look-out; be on your guard! Treachery With Smiling Face When, for instance, I was among you, I have sat in the chair at Liberty Hall, New York, and listened to the patriotic talk, the stirring, high-sounding phrases, the eloquent asseverations of loyalty and sincerity on the part of men who I knew, beyond all doubt, were at that instant scheming to do you injury. And while I ruminated on the best method and the best moment for their going from among us, I marveled that there could be so much deceit, so much deviltry, so much disregard for the common weal in the hearts of members of this downtrodden race of ours. With sweeping gesture and broad smile, they would turn from haranguing you to pay a compliment to "this great man, Marcus Garvey," when, if they would speak the truth, their cry would be, "Away with this obstacle in my path!" Increased Vigilance Required Marcus Garvey is now confined behind prison walls, and, even as men will continue to wax eloquent about "that great man, Marcus Garvey," so will there be found those who, without a thought for the welfare of this race of ours, will plan and plot to enrich themselves at the expense of the many. It, therefore, becomes necessary for the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to increase its vigilance and be more discerning than ever. To steal, exploit, trick or double-cross is no special trait of the Negro; it is common to all peoples within our civilization. But the Negro race, now in the making, is the only race that performs or practices the evils in a way that will bring wholesale destruction upon itself. How the Bigger Program Was Hampered The Jew steals from the Jew, but not to the extent of doing wholesale harm to the rest of the community. The white man steals from his brother, but not with the intent or to the extent of harming or destroying his race as a community, group, or as a whole. The Negro, on his contrary, steals from his own without the highest thought of consequences or any rea- so, what utter the bounty rate may be al- INCREASED VIGILANCE AND GREATER DISCERNMENT NEEDED TO COMBAT EVILS PRACTICED BY UNSCRUPU-LOUS TO DETRIMENT OF ALL U. N. I. A., Engaged in Work of Reform, Was Forced to Expose and Shame the Culprits, Hence the Great Ado Personnel of Executive Bodies of Other Organizations Remains Unchanged Because of "Understanding" and System of Election and Appointment Among Themselves Great Leader Framed-Up and Left to Suffer Because He Would Not Answer the Question, "How Much Is in It for Me?" less practice that the bigger and idealistic part of my world program, in the interest of the race, has been damaged by the unscrupulous who have affiliated themselves with the organization. Honest With Others; Dishonest With His Own And this dishonesty among Negroes, to which I refer, is confined to themselves as a race; they seldom extend that dishonesty in their dealings with other races. In fact, there is no race as honest in its dealings with the white race as the Negro. Dishonesty within the race must not be interpreted to mean only among the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but includes, in a larger degree, our churches, clubs, lodges, fraternities and all other organizations, not to mention our corrupt political groups. Reform Work Required Exposure The reason there has been so much ado about the Universal Negro Improvement Association is because we have tried always to expose, drive out and disgrace the culprits as we discover them in our organization, in that we are engaged in the work of reform. That is why, in criticizing us in one of his brutal articles, Dr. Du Bois, of the National Association for the Advancement of "Colored" People, charged that I cannot get along with my associates, in that my entourage has always changed. How Revenge Entered In The policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under my direction, has always been that of honesty and square dealing. My friend today became my enemy tomorrow on the discovery of any act of dishonesty. There was no "confidence game" with me in the Association, and this accounts largely for the disloyalty that has operated against me. In other movements the entourage is held intact and nearly changes because of the "confidence game." ditions. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association expose, dismiss and get rid of all our dishonest associates as we come across them; hence, there is always a fight either of revenge or to break up, as is so customary to human nature. "Will Never Deny the Black Religion" If I had compromised or conspired with men to cheat the organization or the people, then my encourag would have enjoyed perpetuity and no one would have heard a hard word said against me from within the race, while the poor masses would have paid. But I was brought up under a system of private and public life in which "graft" and the "confidence trick" were unknown. Until I started my activities in the interest of my people in America, I never heard the question "How much is it safe me?" I thank God that I have not fallen a prey to the system, and may my hands wither away and my tongue be silenced if I bend to the sinister influence of such a system. I would rather stand alone and be framed for the prison a thousand times than deny the religion (black) of my mother—mark you, not the white religion—the religion that taught me to be honest and fair to all my fellow-men. Appointing and Electing One Another In our churches and all other organizations the entourage always remains the same because there is always an "understanding." It is only when a trustee, deacon or pastor attempts to do what is right by the congregation or people there is a cry for him to go and a split when he is kicked out of office by the strong "confidence group." Other organizations, to preserve the ruling group and prevent them from being put out of office, manoeuvre to appoint and elect by and from among themselves, to the exclusion of a popular election among the people. "Left to Suffer" If I had clubbed with other Negroes to exploit or fleece the people, these confederate Negroes would have protected me by political power and influence, because in protecting me they would have been protecting themselves. Although I have had dozens of close associates in the administration of the Association, I have had not one friend, in that friendship in public life seems to imply that you must steal or concoct to be a good fellow and allow the other fellow to do the same, and protect him in doing so in return for a similar exchange. Let such friendship be damned and let me die, instead, a thousand times. It is not a part of my religion. If I have friends they must be honest and clean and not expect me to do them favors through dishonesty or by the betrayal of others. Because I did not fall a prey to the methods of "graft" I was regarded as a "bad fellow," the cry went up around me, "Garvey must go," and I was left to suffer from a general frame-up that shall have its place in Negro history. I shall conclude this article in next week's issue. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, SPANIARDS ENTER AJDIR, RIFFIAN CAPITAL, AS KRIM'S MEN WITHDRAW Occupation Effected. Without Resistance—Madrid Rejoices and Gives King Alfonso an Ovation—So "Civilized" Europe Endorses Shoaking Crime Against the Riffs MELILLA. Spanish Morocco. Oct. 2. - Adjir, capital, and stronghold, of the robulous Riffian leader, Abd-el-Krim, was occupied by the Spanish forces this morning. The enemy had disappeared. The Spanials immediately took possession of heights dominating the tow and the fertile land on the left bank of the Ghis River, just to the east of Adjir. Large stocks of material were captured. All the houses in Adjir showed signs of having been hit by Spanish artillery, while the castle where Abd-el-Krim had his headquarters showed damage from air bombardments. Madrid Celebrates Victory. MADRID. Oct. 2. B. Spanish troops entered Adjir, capital of Abd-el-Krim, the Riffian leader, at 11:30 o'clock this morning, according to official advises from Morocco.

American Fliers Reported Ambushed by Riffs Fez. 20th 10: Adel-el-Krim, leader of the Rifman tribesman, took the offensive last night in his own particular fashion against the American aviators who have been hobbling Berber villages. Three American filers and one American woman, the wife of a filer narrowly escaped death when they walked into a Rifman ambush in the dark, between Ouzezan and the camp, two miles south, where the American warden is quartered. The Americans were Captains Rockwell, Holden and Cousins and Mrs. Holden, formerly Edith Gillingham of Philadelphia. A furlough of shots fired by the Rifmans were aimed principally at Mrs. Holden, who, dressed in white, provided the best target. The bullets whizzed close but hit no one. Mrs. Holden and her escort jumped into a ditch along the road for shelter. Captains Rockwell, Holden, and Cousins, who have been carrying sidearms since it was announced that Abdel-Ketim has placed a price on their heads, returned the fire. It is believed that one, Riffan, was wounded. He was carried away by the others, who fled upon the arrival of a guard. American Correspondents Armed by French Fez, Sept. 30. — French 'General Headquarters allotted today ancient 1892 muskets and twenty cartridges each to the American newspaper correspondents who have been watching the fighting in the vicinity of Taza. This action was taken when the correspondents reported the Riffa frequently had shot at them, mistaking them for members of the American Escadrille. As a reprisal for the bombardment of their villages by this squadron, the Riffa organized special groups of sharpshooters with orders to bring down the flyers regardless of their nationality. French Reds to Strike Against the Riff War PARIS, Sept. 29.—French Communists have launched a defiant challenge to the Government in the form of an announcement that a twenty-four hour revolutionary strike will take place within the week. At the same time they issued a manifesto to the army inclining the troops to dishey orders when the authorities call them to keep order in the streets or to replace the strikers in transport and other services. The avowed purpose of the strike, which is to be general and nation-wide, is a protest against the Riff war. 500 Men a Week any money.

W. I., He Pleads the Case of the Benighted Negro Laborer Before Commonwealth Conference and Seeks Assistance Tribesmen Lose Confidence in Mankind Tangler, Oct. 1—Riffians continued the bombardment of Teutan yesterday morning and again this evening, firing about twenty shrapnel shells, apparently from two guns concealed in the mountains facing the town. Very little damage was done, but two or three people were slightly wounded. The Moorish population is drawing up a petition praying the Riffian leaders to desist from bombardment of the town. Riffians here propose in return that inhabitants of Sheshuan should petition the French commanders to cease bombing that place. Residents of Sheshuan complain although they are loyal to the Spaniards they have been regularly bombed for the last few weeks, by French airplanes and their houses and property are largely destroyed. They state their confidence in mankind has been shaken, but they still firmly believe in God and that He ordains everything for the best. French War Correspondent Killed by Sniper Feb. Oct. 1-1 Lieut. Col. Reginald Kahn, correspondent off the Paris Temps, was killed during the capture of Kerkoum, north of Kifane, yesterday. He was a reserve officer and one of the best known war correspondents. He was considered an authority on Morocco. Colonel Kahn asked to resume active service soon after the Moroccan campaign began and was appointed liaison officer between General Naulim's staff and the outposts. It was facing a Rifian mountain where the French were held up for a couple of hours that Colonel Kahn fell dead with a bullet through the side. Marshal Petain has recommended the collar of a commander of the Legion of Honor, which he wishes to confer personally at the funeral ceremony, for the dead correspondent. From the London *Herald* (Sept. 19). One of the outstanding personalities at last week's British Commonwealth Labor Conference, held at the House of Commons, was a black man. "He is Mr. H. Critchlow, the delegate representing British Guinea, and yesterday he gave a Daily Herald representative the stirring story of his fight for his fellow workers—a fight resulting six years ago in the establishment of the British Guinea Labor Union, of which he is now secretary and treasurer. "When the war broke out," he said, "rents and the cost of living increased tremendously." Laborers had to work 10 hours a day, and a system of quarter days was in vogue. Dock laborers—and I was one of them—were paid only 2s. 8d. to 3s. "As the cost of living was leaping up, I organized a petition to the Government, asking for more pay, shorter hours, the abolition of the quarter day, and the establishment of half a day's pay as a minimum. "No reply was given, and the result was a strike in 1917 which lasted seven weeks. In the end we got a nine-hour day and a 10 per cent increase in wages with the abolition of the quarter-day system. Dock laborers later went to a day, and moved to an. In 1916 a strike for the eight-hour day saw the importation of labor from Trinidad, Burmah, and other places, but I invited them outside workers to a meeting, and encouraged them not to undertake our labor. They agreed, and I helped them by giving them no help with their work with the government. But no workers can be encouraged to work." The following letter on the subject of the, Morocco shame is reprinted from the New York World of September, 38. To the Editor of The World: I have followed with interest your editors, denouncing the American airmen in Morocco. My husband and I have recently returned from Algeria. We lived in a small oak called Bou-Saada, not entirely spied by Cook's tourists, nor entirely free of them. The inhabitants of the village consisted of several thousand Arabs, 500 Jews who controlled the finances of the place, a few Negroes and some forty Frenchmen of the colonial biped on military and administrative duty. We lived in a native house, ate Arab food and formed many friendships with the Arabs themselves. About the middle of May we spent a week on the desert with a cold, an Arab chief. One evening a cavalier to the French administrator at M'Silla (an oasis about fifty kilometres distant) rode into camp with news of the offensive in Morocco. He had heard that, while foreigners had been seen fighting with the Riffans against the French. He asked us hopefully if they might be Americans. Our host, LABOR DELEGATEANA, IN HOUSE OFCONFERENCE WITH LABOR of Organized Labor in Wind-De Pleads the Case of theorer Before Common-and Seeks Assistance corporate the union, and we secured an eight-hour day for some sections and still better pay for the dock workers." For fighting to retain the eight-hour day, Mr. Critchlow mentions, he lost his own job. Owing to trade depression, wages in British Guiana had gone down again. "Now," Mr. Critchlow added, "we want the Commonwealth Labor Conference to help us in obtaining legislation to provide for workers' compensation, old age pensions, health insurance, unemployment exchanges, manhood and womanhood suffrage, a legal minimum wage, and an eight-hour day for all workers."

El Hadj Saad, had heard of Cuba. He also knew the Spanish colonists. He asked my husband many questions. In the light of recent events they are embarrassing. Abd-e-Krim has been fighting the Spanish for more than ten years. It is his boast that as long as there are Spanishs in Morocco he will never want for ammunition. When the Rifian supplies are low horsemen ride down into the Spanish camp and help themselves. It is interesting, to note in the Blasco Ibanez pamphlet, "Alphonise XIII. demasque," the fact that up until the last two years Spain has had more than 100,000 men constantly in Morocco. The Rifians have numbered about 10,000. In the ten years the Spanish Army has never achieved a decisive victory and has suffered many defeats. Such odds are not, however, possible over a long period. We had ample opportunity to test the French colonial instillate. The formula appears to be to squeeze the colony for produce and to give it little as possible in return. Educational facilities for the Arab are entirely inadequate. The money necessary to pay for a single child's education is practically always prohibitive. The Arabs' property rights are many times abused and at the same time few opportunities for work are supplied by the Government, and such work is privately underpaid. Although the Arab is conscripted for two years' service in the army, he is given no voice either in the French or colonial Government. (The French and Jewish "citizens" of Algeria send a deputy to Paris.) I can give only too many examples of rank injustice, and it is significant that justice itself in Algeria means a lash. The Arab is not even permitted to leave the country in search of work. And it must be remembered that these same men enlisted, were conscripted and fought for France in the World War. As for these American airmen who have gone over to aid in the miserable business of further conquest and subjection (thinly velled), perhaps it is wheeled to dismiss them with the contemptible title, soldiers of fortune, not forgetting the Hessian troops once in the hire of George III.

INDIAN EDITOR GALLS UPON ISLAN TO UNITE IN QUEST OF DEMOCRACY Indifference of Great Number of Moslems to Struggle for Liberty and Independence Viewed with Satis/action by European Powers—Zeal to Assort Rights Not Forbidden by Koran BY ABDUL KALAM' AZAD Editor of Al-Hilal (Calcutta) (In The African World) Republican and Democratic ideas are fast gaining ground the world over; detention and abhorrence of despotism are in evidence everywhere; and it is now universally acknowledged that legally and politically all humain beings are equal. It is being freely admitted and recognized that the people have a priority of rights over others in the claim to participate in the affairs of their own government. The nations of the earth have become firmly converted to these truths, the attainment of which is being keenly sought by every possible means. Many of these attempts have succeeded in achieving the object: while a few more are within a measurable distance of the desired goal. Muslims, however, who from a fifth part of the total population of the globe are on the whole, apparently unaffected by the sublimity of these truths. To the few, who are supposed to be aware or awake, the conception even of the ideal is too terrifying a picture; although to them should have belonged the honor of leading this right-demanding and redress-seeking party, because their prophet came into this world expressly for the purpose of delivering man from the Bondage of Man. This panorama of the Muslim's inertia and of their ignorance of actuality and reality is being placidly watched with satisfaction from a distance by the Nations of Europe. We are, by way of kindness and sympathy feigned, being warned against the dangers of besetting the perilous path of Freedom and Liberty; and in tones angry and stern the warner's voice is heard to proclaim: "Beware ye! Your strenuous efforts to break through the fetters will only aggravate the tightening of its tentacles." No! Contrary to Koran Many a political pindit is, by way of religious advice and compassion, preaching to us Murrells that in attainment of political freedom and judicial equality such conscious efforts and such excessive zeal are opposed to the teachings of the Qur'an or are contrary to the dictates of Islamic Traditions. The fact, however, remains immutable that the events of recent dates have stirred up with life their lethargic and dormant feelings, and throughout the world of Islam the long forgotten dreams of its past greatness are once more assuming a vivid reality. The revival among them of a tumultuous eagerness to render homage to Heavenly Writ stands out in marked contrast; and since the lessons of true Islamic Freedom, Liberty, and Equality are again being taken to heart by the votaries of Islam, the advisers, the sympathizers, and the preachers ought now to despair of the reformation of Muslims, because their perdition is now better for them than their salvation. "Verily God Guldeeth into the right path whomever 'He pleases'." (Quran). According to its own exposition, Islam came into this world for the reformation of a corrupt temporal and spiritual state of human society; it follows therefore, that it carried with itself the blessings of both this and the world hereafter. No Muslim, therefore, could even conceive of such an assumption that the reformative emporium of Islam is devoid of virtuous materials essential for regulating the temporal affairs of mankind; as that would be tanta-mount to a confession of its failure to accomplish one-half the objects of its mission, to the human race. It is imperative under the circumstances, that henceforth every Muslim should become "conversant with the traditions of Islamic politics and with the significance and import of its reform of secular authority. Condition of the World Before the Advent of Islam "Corruption had prevailed over land and sea." (Qur-an, XXX, 41.) Thirteen hundred and thirty-one years ago the world was in the throes of a fermentive despotism and thalidom; its very fibres were enfeffered in orbitude and hodge. The potentates of principalities, the elders of cities and the chiefs of clans were all in their own spheres what the Qur'an terms "lords besides God." in whose hands the serfs and captives were like lifeless, tools, the main object of whose existence was to serve and minister to the whims and caprice of their captors or masters. The significance of all event, or the importance of facts were invariably decided by a mere wink of a despot's eye or by a single utterance of a chieftain's tongue. Seventeen hundred years before Christ, the most pure, the most sacred and the most sanctified repository of the holiest attributes was the person of a monarch, which was as irreproachable as it was devoid of human frailties, because it was God, the Shadow of God or at least something above the average level of mankind. The Pharaohs of Egypt were Gods, hence 1700 years before Christ, one of them, as Chronicles in the Qur'an, told his courtiers: "I am thy God, the Ex- tended and High," and surprisingly asked, "Who was this God of Moses?"

LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, October 4. Disregarding the inclement weather, the followers of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association turned out tonight by the thousands and packed Liberty Hall nearly to capacity. It was Garvey Day and the spirit of loyalty that prevails with all true members of the organization, actuates them to lay aside everything and brave any sort of weather to the end that by their presence in Liberty Hall they shall evidence the fact that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, though in prison, is still their acknowledged leader and the policy of a free and redeemed Africa upon which he founded the organization is extant and being pursued by them with the same vigor as though he were at large. The great attraction of the evening was the presence of Hon. William L. Sherrill, Acting President-General, whose absence from Liberty Hall is always felt because of the inspiring message that he is wont to deliver whenever he graces a Liberty Hall platform. True to form, he delivered a masterful address tonight and held the audience spellbound as he dilated at great length on the necessity of unity within the ranks of the organization and strict adherence to the program of African redemption which is the goal to which the Universal Negro Improvement Association was working. Calling by name some of the most stalwart leaders of the organization who as presidents or other officers of various divisions have done noble work in stabilizing the organization and keeping it intact, he warmly commended their loyalty and steadfastness to the cause and made a strong plea to the membership all over the world for whole-hearted and unabated support and cooperation in the carrying on of the work. Hon. G. O. Marke, Deputy Potentate, also delivered an encouraging address in which he assured his hearers that if they are in earnest about the redemption of Africa, the native Africans were with them heart and soul to bring about this objective. Following are the speeches: Hon. William Sherrill's Speech Hon. William L. Sherrill spoke as follows: Since the incarceration of our great and noble leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, I have been a very, very busy man.

When Garvey Was Sent Away I have not been ignorant of the methods of our enemies in their efforts to destroy the Association. I knew full well that the first move after sending Marcus Garvey to prison would be to attempt to start internal fighting and bring about disarmy and discord which would eventually result in the disorganization of the thing Garvey had worked so hard and faithfully to organize. I knew that those who had succeeded in placing Garvey in prison and who were responsible for his imprisonment would feel that Garvey's absence presented an excellent opportunity to bring about disunion and to use members and officers even on the inside of the organization for the purpose of tearing apart the Association. And knowing Negroes as I do, I knew full well that those who are attempting to destroy the organization would easily find within the ranks of the Association, men and women who could be used—some knowingly and some unknowingly—for the purpose of disseminating secretly dangerous propaganda; their only purpose is to discourage and destroy the morale of those of you upon whom we must of necessity depend for the carrying off of the work of the Association. For that reason, I have given most of my time to the field.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1925 I have been on the alert to intercept this destructive propaganda in order that we may be able to hold intact until we have passed through these critical moments of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And true to my thinking, I met on the field as far West as Kansas City and as far South as New Orleans all kinds of propaganda, being disseminated by persons outside and inside of the organization—some trying to encourage Presidents to pull away and organize local organizations, some trying to destroy the confidence of the membership in those who were trying to carry on, and some trying to persuade Presidents and Commissioners and representatives to break loose from the support of the man who gave his very life to the founding and building of the Association. Membership True to the Aims But I am glad to say tonight that by constant vigilance we have succeeded in holding things intact; we have succeeded in intercepting this dangerous propaganda on the field and enabling the membership to again get its equilibrium, and continue on the path of African Redemption and special emancipation. I felt that Liberty Hall was sufficiently educated—having sat for six years or more at the feet of Marcel Garvey—to understand the machinations and the tricks of the enemy; but I am surprised that before I could even complete my itinerary I had of necessity to hurry into New York in order that I might assist in holding things down here, for Liberty Hall was not as well educated as I had thought. I want to say to you, that I have my eyes open to everything that has been going on in New York and in other parts of the country, and I bring to you tonight one message, because there are lots of things recording the stage through which we are passing now, that it is not polite for us to touch tonight. But the thing that is most needed at this particular time is Unity in the organization at any cost. It matters not what needs lighting or what needs turbing around, there is only one thing that will save the Universal Negro Improvement Association now, and that is unity on the part of the membership of the organization everywhere. The Universal Negro Improvement Association must not have internal fighting at this time. Those who placed Marcus Garvey in prison did not simply do so because they wanted to see Garvey looking out from behind prison bars; they did not put Garvey in prison simply because they wanted Garvey himself locked up; they put Garvey in prison because, knowing that Garvey was the moving spirit of the organization, they felt that that was the strongest plot to destroy the thing that Garvey had fought for; and if those of us whom Garvey has left behind are going to allow internal strife and blocking to bring about that which the enemy desired, then the enemy has succeeded anyway. No Time for Internal Bickering Unity is any cost is the thought which should be uppermost in the minds of each and every member; and it matters not what you have to sacrifice personally, it matters not what you have to stand for a little while, it matters not what you have to put up with temporarily at this particular time when the Association needs all of its strength and all of its power to fight forces on the outside that are trying to destroy us, is no time for us to be jumping at each others' threats on the inside. If the Universal Negro Improvement 'Association allows those who are opposed to it to succeed in destroying the unity within the Association then we have no mainstay. It is not because the chancelleries of Europe are impressed with the power of the New York local; it is not because the chancelleries of Europe are impressed with the power of the Philadelphia division; it is not because of the strength or the program of the Chicago division or the Cincinnati division or the Pittsburgh division; but it is because they feel that when $6 West 183th street speaks all Negro move. (Applause). And because the world feels that the black man is together—because it feels that the Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is controlled by white governing body and one governing land, it thrives and Motions to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And yet some of us are so short-breath of vision that we only extend to be turned around and be used for the purpose of bringing about disunion in the thing we have worked and sacrificed for seven years to organize. Concerted. Before Will Reese Africa One division cannot redeem Africa, and that is our goal. The New York division cannot redeem Africa; the Chicago division cannot redeem Africa; the Philadelphia division cannot redeem Africa. If we are going to allow our organisation to be divided into as many leaderships as we have divisions we can get nowhere. What can the Philadelphia division do left alone by itself? What can the Cincinnati division do working under its own leadership by itself? What can the New York division do working under its own leadership by itself? Nothing more than our lodges and societies have been doing for the last 50 years—taking care of the sick and burying the dead and parading up and down the street. But with united action, with united effort, with co-operation of all the divisions there is no doubt about it, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be able to realize its objective; and hence I am pleading with the membership not only of the New York local but the membership all over the country and the world, that we must have at this time unity within the organization at any cost. The patient may need an operation; the association may need aid; certain changes of necessity may have to come about but the system of the patient at this particular time is not strong enough to go under the knife; hence if we are to save the life of the patient—if we are to save the life of the organization, we must have unity within our ranks at any cost. It is this unity that the enemies of the association are trying to break. It is the breaking of this unity that will spell doom and death for the association. If they can succeed in persuading a division here or a division there to break those from control of the central office—if they can stir up friction and strife in a division over yonder or a division here—if they can get the organization working in separate groups, it will only be a question of time before they can kill the organization one division at a time. But as long as we stand together—as long as we work, and fight together there is nothing that can destroy the Universal, Negro Improvement Association, and those who allow themselves to be used to bring about disintegration within the ranks of the organization—those who allow themselves to bring about friction between the membership of the organization for the purpose of discouraging those who are trying to carry on the work left in their hands, are not friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Enemies to the Cauan They are enemies of the cause for which we are working; they are enemies of the cause for which we are fighting; and those who allow themselves to be lined up with the enemies need not complain it in the onward rush of black men toward a free and redemocratic Africa they are ground to bits. Softwart Leaders in the Organization I am proud to say here tonight that we have been fortunate in having on the field at this particular time such stalwart sons of Hum as those who are leading Divisions—men who have been able to see the approach of the enemy from a long way of, men who have and allowed themselves to be boodwinkels men who have lined up with the organization, have gotten a glimpse of the objective Africa, and have allowed I nothing to turn them to the right nor to the left. I believe in giving a few flowers while men live. Some of us do not know of those men who have been of much help and assistance to the organization during these trying times. It is for that reason I am calling their names tonight. Such men as Johnson, and Craigon of the Detroit Division. I hardly know what we would have done had we not had such loyal and unqualified support as we have received from the Detroit Division. Such men as Wallace of Chicago, the veteran of a thousand battles for his race, such men as fighting S. A. Haynes of Pittsburgh, a man who has put the Pittsburgh Divis ForAsthma and Hay Fever How to Relieve Worst Attacks.

Men like Fred Toote of Philadelphia, one of the biggest little men we have got in the Association,.- (Applause.) Men like William Ware of Cincinnati; (applause.) one who has always stood loyalty behind the Association; and come to the rescue of the Parent Body whenever called; men like Christian of Columbus; men like Wheat of Chicago, one who has always been found on the firing line when it is for the cause of his race; men like Kell, Pelt of England, Robinson; Commissioner of Louisiana and Mississippi, and many others whose names do not come to me at this time who have been standing loyalty for the program of the Association. We must have men, real men, in this race if we are to get anywhere. Must Have Real Men If you have not got within your race honest men, consecrated men men who are willing to lay themselves upon the altar for the cause of their race, you may as well stop how trying to do anything for the black man; but because these men have stood fighting the enemy we have been able through these trying times—and they have indeed been receiving—to hold the Universal Negro Improvement Association intact. Many of you do not know what we have had to contend with during the past six months. Of course, to hear lots of you talk, you have got lots of information, but I am telling you the truth in all earnestness, friends, many of you do not know with what we have had to contend during the past six months to try to keep the doors of the Association open, and many of you will never know, because there are some things we will never tell. If it would help us achieve our troubles it would be another thing; but we have had to resort to a hundred and one means to try to hold together the Association. We have indeed missed Marcus Garvey. (Volcens: Yes; yes.) Regardless of the price, however, it is our duty at this time to give everything there is in us to see the job we have tackled through. Cannot Stop Now Some of you now are beginning to rest on your ears some of you have begun to get discouraged, some of you have completely given up, and others are just watching to see what those Neuros are going to do. But you have paid too much to bring the Universal Negro Improvement Association where it is to stop now. It has cost the black man too much to pay to the Negro in the Association the world prestige that he has. For seven years you have given your time, for seven years you have gone into your pockets time and time again and given your money, some of you have lost your reputations; some of you have broken up your families on account of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Why? Because when you started out you saw the possibility of a free and rebelled Africa, you saw there is the delightfully perfumed Pluko Hair Dressing, containing the finest hair growing oils known to science— This wonderful preparation which so quickly straightens hair and makes it long, soft, glossy and easy to arrange in any manner is now being used by thousands of our men and women, whose beautiful hair is the admiration of all— Among them is Miss Gussie Williams of the famous "Runnin' Wild" Company, who says: "I just love to use Pluko Hair Dressing. It has such a delightful fragrance and makes my hair so soft and easy to arrange in any manner I wish." the solution of the damnable race problem and the establishment of a nation in Africa. You have paid a tremendous price to bring the Association this far; if you stop now you use the heavy losers; if you stop now the race loses; if you stop now, generations yet unborn will lose. Difficulty Can Be Easily, Overcome In spite of our difficulties at this time we can easily extragate ourselves; we can easily put the organization on a clear road toward carrying out the program Garvey has given and is giving us, but it is going to call for the committed support of each and every member. It matters not what our efforts are; it matters not what we are attempting to do, we can do little or nothing unless we get your support. I know that in the past you have supported everything and every effort that the Association has made, but the thing that you have tackled is a thing that does not simply call for your support for six or seven years, but you may go on through your lifetime contributing and supporting the Universal Negro Improvement Association and your children may have to take up where you left off before our dream is completely realized. The Negro has started out for nationhood. We have not had any program such as this before step that we make is almost an experimental step; the job of redeeming Africa is a new job for black men; we have not been carried out by country before; we have already carried out a country somewhere; we could get the pattern and follow it in the sandtracks and perhaps we would not make any mistakes; but we have tackled a new job; we have tackled a tremendous job. It is an experimental job and we can expect lots of setbacks and hurdles, but if these setbacks, etc. are going to stop the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who say they are willing to sacrifice and die for the realization of their program, then we are not within us that stuff that is necessary for nation building. If you read the history of the great American people you will find that they not only lost much, paid much and gave up much to make America what it is, but you will find that even today America, which has learned lots of things about government, is letting much in her effort to put forward various projects and do certain things. We Must Go Forward Like One Man With the tremendous obligations of the Assignment, if for just a short while, we can not get the support of every member done just his little bit, these things can be easily taken care of. It is not easy to sit down and grumble, but this was done and that was done or the other thing was done; if we have obligations it is not for the members to accuse those of us who are trying to do our best in bringing this obligation or this obligation.

The destiny of a race is show in our hands; the future of a people now rests with this association. We are not in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for fun; we are not simply here to go some place to hear speeches. We are in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the purpose of redeeming Africa. One division cannot redeem Africa. One division cannot open up a grocery store; it may be able to open a restaurant; it may be able to build a Liberty Hall, but one division cannot redeem Africa. If (Continued on page 2).

THE WILLIAMS of WILD COMPANY HAIR SSING --- Congress in Africa and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the new world are working by the same sign and by it they cannot but succeed in arousing and unifying the Negro people. It is a great and glorious work. Splendid Progress Negro in Ed Spits CUBAN NEGROES AND CO-OPERATIVE FARMING it. And you can't construct anything unless you have the intelligence to know what you want to creste and to properly use it after you have created it, and the money necessary to make the creation effective. If you have the intelligence and the money, os capacity to earn and save the money you must have, anything is possible which you may desire in a material way. Without intelligence and money nothing can be created that is worth while and necessary. One industrious, saving Negro in any community of ten or more Negroes can easily serve as a light-set upon a hill which all the others could follow in doing the things needful and which make for respectability and power. The individual is the unit of doing anything. Without the individual unit, that does things and shows others how to do them, there is seldom anything done. Stagnation and death in life prevail. There is so much common sense in the suggestion that members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should make themselves the center, wherever they have an organization, of social, civil and economic uplift and betterment of themselves and of the community in which they may live, as to commend itself to all of us, and to invite the active co-operation of all of the members in the good work. We should have more talk of the constructive kind, along the lines indicated here, and such as we have in the article by Mr. J. A. Siveright, as published in The People's Forum of The Negro World of September 26, and which we reproduce here. Mr. Siveright said: Many Negroes may have the desire to do something for the race, but we must realize that we can do nothing unless we work together. Single handed we can do next to nothing. It is organization that the world fears most today. Some weeks ago, Mr. Campbell wrote in The Negro World a letter suggesting a plan whereby the Negroes of Cuba might make agricultural success by establishing a sort of co-operative business: I think that his plan was an excellent one. It would be well if such a plan would be brought before the various divisions in Cuba so that they might devise ways and means to promote agriculture in a progressive way among our people here and work through the divisions to do so. Many excellent schemes could be promoted in this way and the work as well as the individual members would prosper thereby. Mr. Siveright hit the nail squarely on the head. The divisions in Cuba should hold a joint meeting in which a constructive plan of farming could be thoroughly discussed and ways and means adopted. We have the organization in Cuba and we should easily get the cooperation necessary to the success of the undertaking. There are many members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Cuba. Many of them are from the West Indies. Most of them are engaged as workers on the sugar cane and tobacco plantations of white persons mostly British and American corporations; who are in the business for all they can get out of it. The way to do a necessary thing is to go ahead and do it. Let our farmers in Cuba get together and consider what it is best for them to do to get the most and not the least out of their economic values. THE AMERICAN HESSIANS IN MOROCCO HESSIAN is one who fights for pay. He is not moved by any sentiment of patriotism or humanity. He is just a free lance, without a country and without such morals as make for character and respectability. His greed for adventure is of the bloody kind which accepts pay from the master he serves for time being and in whose service he is ready to cut the throat and rob the pockets of a fallen foe. The Americans who have enlisted in the service of the Sultan of Morocco and are fighting under the French and Spanish flags to conquer Abd-el-Krim and his Riff tribesmen are men of this low character, in the last analysis, but you could not convince them that they are. The New York Sun, a daily newspaper of light and leading, stating the case against the American Hessians fighting under the flags of France and Spain in the service of the Sultan of Morocco, says: "If France and Spain can't defeat the tribesmen there are those in this country who will feel that Americans have no business to turn the scale for them. It is rather a conventional idea here that if a man sees two big fellows jumping on a little one he ought to remain neutral or help the weaker side." That is the size of it. The Riffmen have been holding their own splendidly against the French and Spanish forces and the best newspapers are saying that Abd-el-Krim is a great commander. The Riff are few in numbers as compared with the French and Spanish forces, but they are resourceful and courageous and have a mountainous country with which they are familiar in which to fight, and they are making the most of all of the advantages that they have. The baffled French think so, anyhow. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Mastered an second class matter April 18, 1818, at the Post- office at New York, N. Y. under the Act of March 8, 1875.

ANOTHER · AFRICAN PRINCE HAS COME AMONG US NOTHER African prince, has come among us. This time he does not come to us by way of Paris, as Prince Kojo did, but he comes directly from the African Gold Coast. He is King Nana Amoch III, of the Fanti tribe. He speaks good English and is a Christian. He is a widower with four children. He believes in the one wife principle, although he admits that many of his tribesmen still believe in polygamy and have several wives. He came over second class, dressed in a smart English walking suit, but to satisfy the newspaper men he shed his London clothes and allowed them to view and snap him in his native costume, which was rich and gorgeous enough. He kept to himself the voyage over. King Nana wants to study the Negro in the United States and will visit the centers where he is most numerous. We dare say he will have plenty of opportunity to study the American Negro as well as the American white man, the latter being the most psychologically enigmatic of the anthropological exhibit. The Negro world welcomes King Nana to the United States and hopes he may have a pleasant and profitable stay among us in the matters concerning which he wishes to be instructed. And may he escape annoyance by the Nordic prejudiced cranks and their allies, the Nordic police. EVERY PERSON SHOULD QUALIFY TO VOTE VOTING is one of the highest of the privileges and immunities of citizenship of the United States, and all persons "born or naturalized, are citizens of the United States and of the States in which they reside." Every person who has a vote and votes has a voice in the government under which he lives. That is as much as can be reasonably expected of a government. The alien who has not taken out his papers and become naturalized has sacrificed the most effective weapon he can have to help make an administration of public affairs which will protect him in his life and property, and which will give him a reasonable measure of participation in the conduct of the government. The person who can vote and neglects to do so is a bad citizen. In many States of the South Negroes are not allowed to vote and be voted for, and they consider it a great injustice. So it is. They are at the mercy of those who arbitrarily vote for them and make the laws and designate the officers of the law, as they did it under the Slave Code, which is no longer in force except by force and violence in those States where the injustice obtains. In New York State and in the city of New York we can all vote and be voted for if we have qualified to do so. If we have not so qualified we have fallen short of the highest duty of the citizen. We have only to consider how much we have gained in representation in the civil service, in the public teacher force, in the police force, in the public works department, where thousands of workers are employed in the rough work of street cleaning and the like we have only to consider how much we have gained by taking an active and sensible part in voting in New York city to show us that we should do more active and sensible voting, in the approaching election for municipal control. It is the duty of every citizen to register and vote. He owes it to himself and to the State to do so in the coming municipal election. When we are not allowed to vote we howl long and loud, and there be many who sympathize with us in our disqualification; but if we can vote and neglect to do it, we are worthy of the splendid privileges and immunities of citizenship? We think not. All attempts to give the race a distinctive and exclusive standing in the body politic of our present day civilisation, are failures. Our race makes progress only in proportion to the measure of co-operation which we receive from other people. It is true that other people prosper by this cooperation, but our group, being the most dependent, profits the most. If we should undertake to harness racial activities, combining them to the sphere in which our people move solely, it is evident that we would soon reach the bottom of our progress. It would be well for all of our group to learn and practice these ways ofistent lessons—Perthelad Advocate. A LIBERTY HALL FOR THE AFRICAN CONGRESS The African National Congress has grown so strong that it has been able to dedicate a Liberty Hall of their own at Cape Town, South Africa, at which the ceremonies were grand and solemn and significant of the work the Congress is engaged in. The temple is likeness of which our esteemed contemporary, The African World, published in its August issue, and which will serve as the headquarters of the congress, is a beautiful structure, and looks much like a fort in the front and side view given us. We hope to reproduce the picture of the splendid structure in 'The Sage World.' Our people must become organized directly and indirectly with the affairs of the government and their feelings and desires must be interpreted as an organization of representative action in the exercise of taking the wishes and desires of the group known—Birmingham Reporter. The African congress stands for the principle, "Africa for the Aphrics," which the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for, and they give Hue. Martins Garvey the credit due him for his pioneer and chief apotheosis of all Negroes who are fighting for African integration and repatriation. The congress has had and been empowered success in summoning and educating the natives the lynching of 3,500 colored citizens since 1863 has occurred in America by Jawless Americans, contaminated citizens of the South. Can any government claim to be a republic democracy which tacitly permitted 3,500 citizens to be lynched? Red Bank Echo. What is the good of Negro leadership in public life, if it is plant and docile and silent? Kansas City Call. Students in attending school have only one thing to lose—ignorance. The public schools, where the fundamentals of education are taught, are free. The public schools are free, there are any number of children who are not attending school. The race has too much to stake for the parents to permit their children to run the streets while school is in session and the demand tomorrow will be more stringent than it is today—St. Louis Argus. That every man should have aptitude and talent for some particular kind of work to be a truth and also a very good profession. And that every man should feel himself and develop his individual ability to apply a good skill to his fellowman. Hardly any man should devise and present, he should get to his truth or enlighten others, entertain others, help and inspire others. Not like in just some times before do we do. And just as in some times before and past we do, so in some times before and past we do. And more precisely, we do. Splendid Progress of the Negro in Education in Spite of Handicap (From the Christian Record) There are many reasons why our people should take courage everywhere and one in the splendid progress we have made against great odds in education. It is well known that the majority sentiment in the South was against our education, and it we are to judge by the meagre allowances made by the southern States at this time, there is no overwhelming sentiment in favor of Negro education. There is certainly, nowhere, in the South a sentiment that a Negro should be educated in the South for South Carolina gives $5.99 to educate each white child, while Georgia gives them $7.00 and $48.02 respectively; Mississippi $6.00 and $23.57 Louisiana $8.20 and $74.24 respectively; Alabama $9.00 and $22.23 respectively; Florida $12.00 and $15.22 respectively; Arkansas $8.70 and $40.93 respectively; and North Carolina $12.80 and $62.08 respectively. These are late figures. In times past the comparison was even worse. But in spite of it all, the Negro has reduced his illiteracy from about 90 per cent in 1870 to 70 per cent in 1850; to 57.1 per cent in 1850; to 44.5 per cent in 1900; to 30.4 per cent in 1910; to 22.9 per cent in 1920 and to about 15.5 per cent in 1925. The highest per cent of illiteracy at the last census was 30.4 per cent in 1910. In Louisiana the percentage was 28.9. In Alabama 11.3. In South Carolina 29.3. In Mississippi 29.3. In Georgia 29.1. in North Carolina 24.5; in Virginia 23.5. These seven states had 1,221,766 of the 1,442,611 Negro illiterates in the United States in 1920. That is, seven states have over 91 per cent of the Negro illiterates. In the states where Negroes have a fair chance in education they have less illiteracy than the Southern white people have. In spite of the heavy migration to the North, there was only one northern State which had over 10 percent of Negro. Illiterates — Rhode Island's percentage was 10.2. New York had the lowest percentage—2.9. New York is the one state that has no color line in schools. Negroes and whites go to school together, teach together and there is no difference. In 70 Years, within the life time of thousands of Negroes, the illiteracy of the race has been reduced from almost 100 per cent to 18 per cent. What will the next 70 years bring? Not only has the Negro learned to read and write—pass literary tests—but he has been apt to acquire higher education. It is said that the first Negro to graduate from college was John B. Russworm, Bowdain College in 1826. Up to 1470, five years after the close of the Civil War, it is estimated that about 66 Negroes graduated from college. One of the members has grown steadily until now we have about 1,000 Negroes a year graduating from colleges and professional schools. Negroes have taken the highest degrees in the greatest American universities, won the Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, studied in Berlin and Paris, and won the Phi Beta, Kappa Key in nearly every institution which they were allowed to attend. Negroes some years ago, took over the majority of their race, they are gradually taking over the teaching and declaring of their people, and getting a larger and larger share of the legal business of the race. The Negro has shown he can compete, when properly trained. And in proper, training lies our hope. There ought to be 100,000 Negroes in college today and, 25,000 to graduate every year. Russia Again: Wet After 11 Years of Prohibition MOSCOW, Oct. 4—After eleven years of partial prohibition Russia today became completely wet. Whisky, brandy and liqueurs containing 60 percent of alcohol, and vodka of 40 percent, strength grain appeared in the cafes, restaurants and stores. The new order was to have gone into effect on October 1, but as this was within the recruiting period of the Red army, it was postponed until today. Several hundred thousand bottles of pre-war liquors of various kinds which could not be sold previously on account of their high alcohol content were automatically released for sale at from $1 to $4 a quart. Hereford the government has maintained a monopoly of the manufacture and sale of spiritous liquors, but under the new order private individuals will be permitted to make and sell liquor.

Unless we gently inhibit the spirit, our conception of the future does not give any serious answer. We must be entitled to live for the day, and to spend all our strength of the year. Nothing we encounter will quell our mourn and thought to the present day of water and earth. Nature further demonstrates how these things will be used and state laws will be HEALTH TOPICS There are several conditions, which may excite the nervous system and cause an attack of epilepsy to appear. These may be slight of more or less serious in themselves. Rickets in babies who are beginning to get their teeth may be one. Diseased teeth causing irritation of the nerves of the teeth and jaw have been known to bring on trouble. Injuries to the head, falls or blows, may be thought to be the starting point of the epilepsy, because the attacks dated from such an accident. Such things may be the stimulating causes, but are not the underlying cause. Sunstroke, acute infection diseases and poisonings of various sorts may have an unfavorable effect upon those who are predisposed to epilepsy. More important than any of these, however, are troubles with the digestive organs. Indigestion, improper elimination, worms and such conditions set up sufficient irritation to cause the balance of the nervous system to be upset, and if there is an epileptic tendency will produce a seizure. Masturbation may cause a similar irritation. Eve strain and any other physical defect should be corrected in every child, but it is especially important that they be presented and corrected in the children. If the child is poor and in those who have epilepsy, Any abnormal condition of the body tends to excite the nerves and so gives rise to stimulations which cause the distressing convulsions or other manifestations of this disease. There are many types of epilepsy. There is the form which shows a transient loss of consciousness without convulsions. called "petit mal". Loss of consciousness with general convulsions is called "grand mal", and convulsions of certain insults, without loss of consciousness go by other names. Some people may show the milder form, "petit mal", only. Others may start with that form and later have more serious attacks of "grand mal", which may increase in frequency. After a visit of eight weeks in this country, Byram Chicejee, a Parasee and a wealthy Bombay merchant, who sailed yesterday with his three daughters on the White Star Liner Majestic on the last stretch of a trip around the world, found so little to his liking in our Western civilization that he could not resist saying so. Clad in the conventional dress of the high caste in India he issued a statement, to this effect. He said that our boasted Western civilization was in fact not a civilization. It lacked spirituality, which is the basis, of all civilization, he said, adding that we needed to be recivilized by the East. "In the first place there is no respect for parents here," he said. "In India I bow to my parents every morning, just as my own children how to me. It is on respect and love within the family on which civilization rests, and this respect is sadly lacking in the Western world." "You Americans pride yourself upon your progress," he went on. "It is an amazing thing, but if you eliminate the spirit what is there to it but so much machinery and so much construction? You cannot build up a fine, high civilization in the way that you are progressing here." So alarmed was Chiceejo over the conduct of the younger generation in this country that he would not allow his daughters to mingle with them. He would not allow their names to appear on the passenger list and would not allow them to be photographed. Service the. Negro. Press Is Rendering the Race "The Negro Press is rendering in valuable service in keeping before the race and country the worthy achievements of bur people by advocating in season and out of season the principles of justice and fair dealing, that are the legitimate aspirations of our race. I sometimes think that in the casual reading of our own journals we fall off grasp this deeper significance of their work. There is no one of us but who has been inspired by their stories of heroism, of achievements in business, in art, in literature, in social service, in education, and in religion. This is the story that keeps hope alive, that strengthens confidence and inspires to greater effort. It is a small outlay that brings these papers to our homes while the service required to us in this way is out of all proportion to the cost."—Robert R. Motion, in The Southern Workman. Unemployment and Destination in England And on the Continent "If the American Federation of Labor never did another thing but push the laws restricting immigration through Congress it would have justified its existence and the expenditure of every dollar the workers have contributed to its liberty. Amani of Burlington, delegate of the federation to the recent British Trade Union Congress in Scarborough, declared on his arrival in New York on the President Harding yesterday. "In three months I have visited the British Isles. France, Germany, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia and Poland, and, save, in France and Germany, the amount of unemployment and misery is appalling. Were it not for the restrictive laws this country, would be flooded with labor that would badly affect our wages and conditions of living. It may seem impossible, but in early morning tours about London and Rome I saw people salvaging food from garbage, cans. I did not believe it until I saw it. "The one country which seems more prosperous than any other is Germany. Everybody is working there, but the wages of the workers are fearfully low and conditions of unemployment are extremely bad. We are in hard conditions and their pre-war standards. "But everybody is working, the workers' homes through the country are well kept. If they are not contented they are determined to regain the prosperity they lost through the war." "What of England?" he was asked. "Things seem to he getting worse there," he said, "but the opinion of those who ought to know is that they will 'muddle through.' The trade unions are in more or less of a turmoil over radicalism. It showed in the sessions of the congress, which talked a great deal but did not decide very much." Mussolini, Italy's Despot, Seeks Further Power ROME, Oct. 4. - Premier Mussolini intends to concentrate more power into his own hands and correspondingly curtail the already severely limited preagregatives of the Italian Parliament, the Fascist papers announce. A bill, it is reported, will be introduced in the Chamber when it reconvenes which will scrutinize the powers of that body to ensure that they will virtually cease to exist. This bill proposes to make Mussolini free and independent of all parliamentary control and make him responsible solely to the King except in exceptional cases. It is understood, too, that the Cabinet during the next session of Parliament will frame a measure providing that Italian citizens abroad who defame or insult their, own, country or rule will be liable to the loss of citizenship and their property. This bill is aimed especially at the Italian living in the United States and England who are writing articles for the press and magazines criticizing Mussolini's policies. Berlin Uses Electric Signs To Run Down Lawbreakers BERLIN, Sept. 26—The Berlin police are giving publicity to crimes with the descriptions, of the criminals through electric advertising signs with moving letters, as a means of notifying policemen on their beats and also enlisting the aid of the public in running down lawbreakers. The German capital has nine of these boards, with which the Police Department has made arrangements for aiding the Department of Justice. The first use of the electric boards by the police was not concerned with crime, however, but announced the loss of a pearl necklace by Frau Breitenstraeter, who is the wife of Germany's champion boxer.

Handshaking may disappear soon as one of the amenities of life in Soviet Russia. A nation-wide movement against this form of greeting, which has the support of N. A. Semashko, Commissar of Health, began here today, circulating issued and placards posted showing the evils of handshaking from a hygienic point of view. Resolutions were introduced in trade union organizations and workmen's clubs against the practice. In a letter endorsing the campaign, M. Semashko declares that handshaking is one of the most potent means of spreading disease, the slightest handshake being sufficient, he says, to convey serious skin and blood diseases and even trachoma. He recommends that a modified form of military salute be used when two friends meet, this, he says, being practiced in America. M. Semashko some time ago began an active movement against kissing, which he characterized as not only an unnecessary and frivolous practice but a pernicious source of danger to health. So it known to the world that my husband, Samuel Augustus Lewis, of Jamaica, B. W. I., brought me to the Republic of Cuba on the 7th March, 1921, and has left me without protection from the 1st September, of the same year, The only news I received of him in 1923, October, was a letter written by one A. E. Barrett stating that he died in a hospital in the Province of Camaguey, Cuba. It is therefore my intention to be married within three months from the date of this first publication.

Organization Only Salvation of the Nagro-Advice to Follow the Old Hand - Picked Leaders Should Be Spurned By HAYWOOD HALL The American Negro Labor Congress which convenes in Chicago. October 25, marks a new epoch in the history of Negro Labor. It will be the first time in world history that a similar body has been formed. In consideration of the fact that 88 per cent of the Negro group in America are wage workers and farm workers, this body will be more representative of the Race than was the Sanhedrin, which met here a little over a year ago. The Sanhedrin was strictly a petty bourgeois group and its interests were with those of the Negro petty bourgeois and not with that of the great Negro proletariat. This was shown by the fact that during the whole time it conversed only a small portion of its time was allotted to the important question of Negro labor. This question should be paramount with any group that professes to have the welfare of the Negro at heart. The Negro is beginning to realize that organization is the only way to effectively combat the forces that are at work against him. The realization of this fact by the Negro workers is beginning to be a source of anxiety to the capitalists and their henchmen of the daily press. That this awakening of the Negro masses is a source of growing concern among the capitalists has been amply demonstrated by articles and editorials of those same capitalist newspapers. The policies these papers pursue when they do mention the Negro at all (and that is usually to magnify some petty crime than an individual Negro commits as a racial stigma), has been to use a surcastic and ironic tone, always trying to belittle any attempt on the part of the Negro at self-assertion. These policies will be continued as long as the Negro remains unorganized. But now that he is beginning to learn the proper solution of the problem, that is, organization in the proletarian movement of the world, their concern becomes apparent. These articles also show that they have woefully under-estimated the intelligence of the Negro masses. The Negro should not be fooled by the hypocritical attitude adopted by these papers. In their willingness to offer advice, He should see that their advice to him to follow their old leaders is a terrible indictment against those same leaders. Therefore, the only safe policy for the Negro to pursue is that policy which is in direct opposition to this advice. We have great cause to doubt the superiority of this advice by the lateness of its appearance: Self preservation has forced the Negro into his present position, and force at the command of the capitalists can keep him from taking his rightful place among the proletariat of the world...(ANL'). Colored Baptists Urge Memorial WASHINGTON: Execution of a national memorial building in commemoration of heroes deeds of Negro soldiers and sailors in all wars of the United States was the subject of a series of resolutions by the national convention of colored Baptists, which were presented last week to the President, Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy, and Senator Simion D. Foss, of Ohio. A bill covering the proposal has been introduced in Congress by Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, and hearings have been had before the joint committee on the Library. The measure in Congress aims to create a national memorial commission to promote development of the building project as a tribute to the loyalty, devotion, fortitude and bravery displayed by Negroes in service of the army and navy from the colonial period through the World War. Resolutions of the Baptists cited the record of 3,000 colored soldiers and sailors in the Revolutionary War; 3,000 in the War of 1512; 175,586 in the Civil War; 13,617 in the Spanish-American War; and 400,000 under arms during the World War period.

More than 5,000 miles of track on forty-five railroads throughout the country have been or are being equipped with automatic train control devices. The Interstate Commerce Commission requires that 7,745 miles of track be thug equipped by January 1 next. All of the forty-five railroads designated by Class I carriers are adopting this improvement and thirteen have completed permanent Installations. One of the most extended Installations will be that of the New York Central. After twenty-three years of study an automatic train-stop system has been selected to operate over 111 miles of line. The cost will be more than $5,000,000. It is estimated the forty-five lines affected by the ruling of the commission will expend $26,000,000 in this further safeguarding train operation. Four general types of automatic control are being tested under the commission's orders, and railroads are at liberty to choose the mode best suited to their needs. The object of all is to eliminate the fallible human element from among the causes of railway accidents. The old system of signals is pronounced admirable in itself, signifying danger ahead without loss of time. But there remained ever the possibility that the engineer in charge of the locomotive would fall to see the warning. Eliminating the Engineer New train control devices make use of the present signal arrangement, but seek to eliminate dependence on the engineer. The presence of danger is brought to the attention of the engineer as before, but in case of negligence on his part, the new method takes control of the train out of his hands. Should there be obstruction of any kind ahead the approaching train is automatically slowed down—if necessary, brought to a complete standstill, before the danger point has been reached. In extreme cases the train will be stopped with emergency brakes. The new devices further safeguard life by bringing signals more insistently to the engineer's attention. There is always the chance that signals will not be observed. The engineer's attention may be diverted at the moment the train flashes past, or the signals may be observed by train, slow or fog. To prevent this a set of signals will be placed inside the locomotive cab. A series of light bulbs brightly announce danger and the engine is less likely to neglect these than warnings outside. As an additional precaution a whistle will be blown inside the cab. Tracks Carry Messages The control devices are surprisingly simple. The tracks may be used as conductors for sending electric danger signals. If a train is standing somewhere ahead, the circuit is closed, and so the approaching train is notified. The engine is employed in weatherproof and dependable under all conditions. Once an locomotive receives the warning the engineer may compel it to slow down or bring the train to a standstill. But should he fail to do so the train will stop without his lifting a finger. Many inventions have been submitted. One rail has experimented with no less than 350. General installation is expected to open a new era in the mechanics and safety of American railroading. Filipinos to Grow Rubber MANHUA. The presentation of rubber growing in the Philippines is occupying much space in the public prints and a number of measures have been proposed to encourage that industry. In addition to recommending amendment of the land laws to allow leasing of larger tracts of land to corporations and individuals, Governor General Wood has expressed approval of a bill providing free distribution of rubber seed to small farmers. The Governor General is of the opinion that rubber can be produced profitably on small plantations and has asserted that the rubber possibilities of the islands are so great that they hold out a hope of helping in building up the economic structure of the Philippines.

It was a homemaker who invented separate collars for men's shirts. The good wife, while celebrating Monday in the usual way, became angry when her efforts to remove the soil from a collar accomplished nothing. She took the scissors, slipped off the collar and wondered why so many shirts had to be washed and ironed just because their collars were not clean. This food for thought grew into action. Instead of sewishing the collar on the shirt again, she fastened a tape to it, and her husband used this to tie it on. He liked the arrangement. He told his friends about it. Manufacturers approved of the idea. All of us know the results. This is just one example of the discoveries women have made in their homes which have revolutionized man's world. Nell B. Nichols.

In spite of a heavy down- pour of rain, Liberty Hall was packed to its capacity. The meeting opened at 8 p.m. in the usual way by singing the opening cde. Mr. John J. Samuel, ex-president of the Francisco division and adjuster of this division, acted as chaplain. Mr. Jordon of the Moron division lead in player, after which a hymn from the ritual was sung. A short vernon brought the divine service to a close. The literary program was conducted by the President, Mr. Heynold A. King. Mr. King addressed the audience with much eloquence. He appealed to the people to be more energize in their work for this grand and noble cause. He also touched upon the persecution of the Honorable Marus Gavey, who is now in prison. In conclusion he urged his people to stick to the U. N. L.A. and be not wetly until the program is put over and we see the Red, Black and Green flying on the hills of Xtrion. The program was as follows: Solo by Mrs. Grant entitled "Where Is Garvey Tonghil?" which received thunderous applause; an address in Spanish by Mr. John J. Samuel, who outlined to the Cúbans the aims and objects of the Association and made it clearly understood that the U. N. I. A. is not intended especially for Jamaicans or Haitians, but that it champions the cause of Negroes throughout the world. Mr. Samuel has been doing excellent work in this division.

Save the Drunkard (Written by a woman who saved her husband from the drinking evil) My man is very good to me. He is smart. He never comes home really drunk. As other husbands do. But sometimes, we imagine "got too much." I wish that I were dead; For there's no sunshine in my heart. When moonshine's in his head. Some folks can laugh at such a plight. Of some poor and feeble soul. To me there's naudit but aching heart. And pity for Satan's toil. And when he has gone too many." I fear that we must part; For when there's moonshine in his head. There're no sunshine in my heart. We love the garden of my life. Love blood for every thought. But now I fear his willing fate. He must come to naught. I pray before life. He'll think how oft I've said. Are no sunshine in my heart, dear. Where're my moonshine in your head? I pray the book by Dr. Haines. Sent me by Dr. Haines. And I used the "Golden Treatment." The splendid manhood underneath Is freed from Satan's ennature. Our heart is moonshine in his head. I gave the powder secretly. He never even knew: Oh, women, do the same today. The act you cannot rule. Our lives are very different: Since that first ad I read: Our hearts are floods of sunshine. And no moomashine in his head. So we these near and dear to you from a life of degradation, poverty and disgrace. You can do it by cutting out the coupon. KENNER, LA.

BURROWS, Assistant Secretary-General. MAN OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey FRENCH DEBT AND BLACK MAN'S LANDS M. CAILLAUX and Secretary Mellon recently "knocked heads together" in an attempt to reach an agreement regarding the French debt to America; but both gentlemen being good business men and statute diplomats, played at cross purposes for several days with the result that M. Caillaux is returning to France with a proposed five-year agreement and opinion is evenly divided as to whether or not it will be ratified by the French Parliament. France is birdened down by two expensive campaigns in Morocco and Syria. In her attempt "to civilize" the Riffians and the Druses, it is a question whether she can afford to offend her banker (America) in the face of a prolonged war to maintain her foothold in the East. Yet she begrudges the idea of being asked to pay back cent for cent the billions she borrowed from Uncle Sam to purchase guns, bombs, poison gas and armored cars with which to kill the "brutal Hun," and "make the world safe for democracy." America is busy extending her boundaries and bids fair to become the greatest colonial empire of the future; bankrupt Europe is deeply indebted to her and will be compelled to make good in cash payments, or yield gracefully, if not willingly, some of their ill-gotten territory. As an indication of the imperialistic wind which is blowing toward America a writer in "The Nation" shows the usefulness to American capital of the barter of certain French possessions in liquidation of the war debt: "It would appear that France, without suffering any loss of national prestige or prospects of future greatness, to the mutual advantage of both contracting countries might cede part of her colonies to the United States as part payment of her debt. I refer to the following countries: French Guiana 32,000 square miles French West Indies 1,665 " " French Oceania 1,520 " " New Caledonia 7,650 " " Madagascar 228,000 " " "For these lands the United States could afford to pay a liberal price, the acquisition of which would enable this country to grow a large part of her imports of tropical vegetable products which now amount to approximately $1,500,000,000 per annum. Again, by the possession of the Marquesas and the Society Islands she would gain control of excellent harbors of great strategic importance in relation to the Panama Canal and strengthen her communications with the Philippines." "... and France still would be in possession of a colonial empire of 5,327,000 square miles." Since the cessation of hostilities both the French and American press have been busy molding public sentiment in favor of such an adjustment of the debt. It is obvious that when the statesmen of both countries are confident of the favorable opinion of their constituents in regard to this matter, the deal will be officially closed, and American capitalists will rub their hands in glee at the prospects of exploitation, while some Frenchmen will be saddened at the less to them of cannon-fodder and cheap labor. What will be the feeling of the poor natives and the real owners of the territories to be bartered? They are all Negroes (according to the American designation) and it is our duty to warn them of the danger that face them, by remaining weak and unprepared to forestall white exploitation, and to govern and be governed by Negroes. For these and other reasons the Universal Negro Improvement Association wages a relentless fight to redemem Africa and to secure independence for Negroes everywhere. What affects one group of Negroes in any part of the world affects all. We are all members of one race and our destiny, our hopes, are all one. We are strong in numbers, but weak in material protection, commensurate with the power of the white man, who seeks to destroy us in order to maintain the supremacy of his race; hence, we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are sparing no pains or finance to enlighten our brethren all over the world to a realization of their potentialities, and to bind ourselves in one grand and powerful phalanx to have and to hold our Divine inheritance for ourselves and our posterity. The white statesmen of powerful nations, may divide booty, but it remains to be seen how long they will be able to hold same, when Black Africa joins forces with Yellow Asia and Brown India in the armageddon of the future. "To the Day" is also the toast of the East. Irish Women Picket Capital WASHINGTON. → Irish Republic sympathizers, stirred by the barring of Mary MacSwiny as a delegate to the Interparliamentary Union and the seating of Richard Mulcahy as a delegate from the Irish Free State, made protest by picketing the Capitol. Nine pickets from several States started to carry into the Capitol their cards, denouncing Mulcahy; but the police blocked their path and ordered them to move away from the building. Thereupon the pickets took a stand across the street, where delegates to the conference could see their banners as they left the Capitol. One of the cards compared Mulcahy to Benadict Arnold. Another bore the legend: "Mulcahy—murderer of 77 Irish Republican Patriots." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2025 JOSEPHINE LEGGETT MISS GOLDEN BROWN Wins Beauty Crown and Hudson Coach.

Tudge, representative of Commissioner Lamb in Canada, announced recently that the Army was planning to bring 6,000 allens to the Dominion. In the last year 3,000 men and women, under the auspices of the Salvation Army, left their homes abroad to settle on Canadian homesteads. A glitantic campaign will be launched in Great Britain soon to attract experienced farmers to the Dominion. WOMEN URGED TO STUDY BANKING Atlantic City, Oct. 1.—Ninety-nine per cent of the troubles of life come from the pocketbook and ninety-nine per cent of the divorces are traggable to money difficulties. In the opinion of Mrs. Ralph Beebe, a leading figure at the convention of the Association of Bank Women. Mrs. Beebe is a regional director of the association and is head of the women's department of the Commerce Trust Company of Kansas City, Mo. Because of the close relationship of human happiness to money affairs she regards a banking career for women as affording an extraordinary opportunity for the display of human sympathy and understanding. Three Causes Wreck Homes She holds that three causes wreck homes. "The family should be a joint stock concern, where each member is responsible," she said. "There are three causes of wrecked homes. One where the wife is never told what her husband's income is, and therefore she spends money in the dark. "The second is where a girl marries with no training in money affairs and does not know the value of money; and the third is where the woman is a parasite and even when the financial situation of the household is explained to her refuses to do her path." "The banker knows more about people's troubles than any other person in the world," she continued. "The doctor knows a woman's physical troubles, but the banker knows all her troubles. "Therefore banking offers a tremendous opportunity for the display of human understanding and human empathy." Mrs. Beebe went into the employ of the Kansas City bank in 1915, when she had been married twenty years and her children were, grown and attending college. Advice to Married Women To married women with similar ambitions her advice is, yes, take up banking, but raise your family first. Only in cases of financial necessity does she advocate the married woman of the household taking up employment before her children are grown. "I always said to myself: she said, "when I had had twenty years of married life and my children were grown up I would take up some career." "At the end of that period I looked around to see what form of work I would undertake. It was while I was visiting my bank that I got the idea of my future activities. There, in a little reception room for women, I saw a coloured maid showing a wool dress, intelligent looking white woman how to write out a check. "That was my clew to my future business. I called upon the chairman of the board of directors of the bank and said, 'You need me.' "I then explained to him what I meant. "He listened to my story and told me to soome buck. When I returned he put me on the staff of the bank to create a women's department." Woman Judge in Cuba HAVANA, Oct. 1 (A.

The Christian Barbarians Spanish lechonaries serving in Morocco have displaced the ears and tongues of their Rifflan those on their bayoneta, thinking that such barbarity would deter other Rifflans from fighting for their country. It will not. I would like to call attention to the fact that the Spanish soldiers are presumably Catholics and that Catholics are presumably Christians. Those who still believe that Christianity or any other religion is anything but a monstrous fraud might try squaring the action of the Spanish troops with their conception of civilized conduct. Fortunately, however, the Rifflans are giving the Christian barbarians an exciting time. Good luck to them!-T. J. O'Flaherty. Obey or Love and Cherish? "Marriage is a mutual relationship, not a subordination of one to the other. The nomedit there is deed to use the force of such a word as 'obey,' the marriage has been lowered from its divine helmet. The moment you begin to compare marriage to a business organization or an army, where you rightly say that there must be one head from whom implicit obedience must be required, you show that you do not know what marriage is." -Bishop Slattery.

Officials of the National Negro Business League, who already are laying plans for the 1926 meeting, are determined to find out—One of the most interesting features of the Tulsa meet this year was the popularity contest, in which various Oklahoma cities vied with one another to name their favorite daughter. Miss Oklahoma, and delegates from dozens of other States expressed a desire at the next meeting to see their own girls represented, as well. Roscoe Dunjee, president of the Oklahoma State League, was appointed—chairman of a committee to work out a feasible program which would embrace all of the cities of the country and give each of them an opportunity to present its most charming representative, while it would be of, interest to the business men of every community. Mr. Dunjee has written Secretary Holsey that the committee has an interesting plan to present—one which will catch the fancy of both the most charming girls in the country and the business men and women as well. So that the 1926 league meeting ought to give a definite answer to the query. Who is Miss Negro America? Every-Woman in Russian Town Expects Stork MOSCOW—Every woman in the town of Zarubovo, Simplenesk province, is expecting a visit from the sork. That is what the women sore when a land surveyor came to supervise the distribution of land. The sudden discovery of the prospective increase in population may have been due, it was suggested, to the fact that under the Russian land law every peasant is entitled to an additional share of land for every new member of his family. The surveyor postponed his abatements pending the stork returns, but he ruled that in cases of twins of triplets the added share of land would be the same as though only single babies were born. Servants in England Demand Kitchen Radio LONDON.—The straine of Jazz and other music are considered essential to the cooks in English suburban homes nowadays. Domestic employment agencies in London say they did it almost impossible to induce cooks to accept jobs in the suburbs or the country unless they are sure that their kitchen will be provided with an extension from the wireless installation of the family upstairs.

Hospital NEW TORK.—Miss Mabel Davies, who made a notable record as a war nurse in France and was decorated by the British and French government, has been appointed superintendent of Beckman, Street Hospital. Ms. was announced by Howard S. Cullman, president of the institution. The new head of the financial district's hospital saw four years of war service in France. Early in 1916 she left the Presbyterian Hospital, where she had been in charge of wards, to join Mrs. Payne Whitney's unit of the American ambulance at Quillty. Later she joined Dr. Joseph A. Blake's staff at his hospital in Paris, and then went with Red Cross units to the American hospital at Neuf-Chateau. Shortly after this country's entry into the war Miss Davies was stationed again in Paris to assist in organizing and equipping the army, navy and Red Cross course units which were pouring into France with the American troops, and there she continued for almost a year after the armistice, returning to the United States date in 1912. Playing Both Ends Against the Middle One of the witnesses at a royal commission appointed to inquire into a case of alleged hirbery in an election, stated that he had received $25 to vote Conservative, and in cross-examination it was elicited that he had also received $25 to vote Liberal. Mr. Justice Matthew, in amusement, repeated: "You say you received $25 to vote Conservative." "Yes, my lord." "And you also received $25 to vote Liberal?" — "Yes, my lord." "And for whom did you vote at the finish?" asked the astonished judge, throwing himself back in the chair. And the witness, with injured dignity in every line of his face, answered with great earnestness: "I voted, my lord, according to my conscience!" — Vancouver Province.

OLD EGYPTIAN CITY DOG UP BY FRENCH Temple Found at Thebes— Book of Mohammed Is Discovered—Records of Unknown Pharaoh Uncarthed LONDON, Oct. 2.—News has reached London of important discoveries made recently by the French Institute of Ori- tinal Archaeology in Egypt. Work was carried out at four different points—at Abu Rosah, near Cairo; at Medamot, and at Dey Medines, on the site of ancient Thebes, and at Edu. A temple, a series of burial places and at one point a whole town was excavated. The burial places were unearthed at Abs Roah and belong to the remote epoch before the Egyptians began to mummify the dead. The cemetery uncovered consists of twenty burial places, including small truncated pyramids built from the beginning of the fourth dynasty to the end of the fifth, and fifty tombs of more ancient date. Interest in these burial places lies, in the fact that they belong to persons ranging from prehistoric times, when bodies were *interred* in a contracted position and without a coffin, up to the first periods of mummification, thus WE SAID IF IT PRINT YOU WANT TO HAVE DONE WHO CAN DO IT FOR YOU WANT IT.

These who desire --- presenting in a complete series the evolution of all methods of burial practiced. It has been established that the great incomplete pyramid at Abo Rosah is the tomb of Dagfafra, a king of the fourth dynasty, whose name does not occur on the famous lists of Pharaohs in the Temples of Abydos and Karnath. It is hoped that the excavations, which brought to light the tomb of one of his sons, will aired some light on the history of this king, who for some unknown reason was forgotten when the lists were made about the year 200 B. C. Ptolemaic temple is found As great temple of Ptolemaic period has been discovered at Meddam, six miles northeast of the Temples of Karnak. It has a frontage of 132 feet, which is exactly the dimension of the famous temple of Hathar at Denderah, recognized as the most perfect in Egypt. The excavations laid bare a great outer wall covered with sculptures and inscriptions (wherein occurs, among others, the name of Trajan) a passage round the inner temple, some of the inner chambers and the whole area of the colonnade. The temple was apparently built by the last Ptolemies and finished by Emperor Donatius, Trajan and Antonius Plute. It has produced inscriptions dating back to the eighteenth dynasty, 1500 to 1820 B. C., and even to the twelfth dynasty, about 2000 B. C. Exceedingly interesting is the thresh- BY IT!!. IT IS. NOTING ONE, WE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU AND JUST AS YOU YOU THIS?

Two magnificent statueses of Usenrion and Amen were also fotted. The most important epigraphical discovery is a has-relief showing a procession of the Nile's allegorical figures, which symbolized the different provinces of ancient Egypt. Inscriptions accompanying them give a quantity of fresh theological information, for the temple is dedicated to Monti, the Theban war god of whom very little hitherto was known. At Decir el Medina the French excavators laid bare part of a town which is extremely interesting because it was the quarter inhabited by the painters and sculptors who decorated the famous tombs of the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings and Queens. In a series of houses in unbaked brick were found all the usual articles of domestic life, toilet necessaries, children's toys and tools from the workshops which produced everything required for the burial of the dead. Names of Famous Artists Found. The scribes left rough copies of their literary and religious manuscripts, their account books, their registers and even intimate litters. Inscriptions in the chapels of the tombs reveal the names and genealogies of the chief painters and sculptors in Egypt and posterity will know the names of the painters Apu Nakhtu-Amen and Nefer-Renpti and the architect, Nefer-hofer, as the authors of works which have long been admired. The fourth point where the French institute conducted excavations is Edu. eighty miles south of Thebes and close beside the famous Temple of Horus. They laid bare an Arab and Coptic town of the tenth century, A. D. It was called Apollinopolis and it was not very different in appearance from the existing Egyptian town of Edu. Much fine glasswork was found as well as pottery decorated in red and gold enamel on a white ground. A preface find is a book of tales of the Prophet Mohammed, written on papyrus and bound in leather, compiled by an author of the eighth century, A. D. and believed to have been lost. Floods in China PEKIN, Sept. 25 (A. P).—Fifteen thousand square miles containing the homes of 2,000,000 persons now are flooded and it is feared that hundreds have been drowned in consequence of the break in the Yellow River dykes on the Shantung-Chihil border. The affected area is being extended hourly, and famine relief workers returning from the scene say the flood is the greatest since that of 1857. A further break in the main south dykes is allowing the waters of the Yellow river to flow unrestrictedly to the South, and a portion may reach the Yangtse River through the Grand Canal. The possibility is seen of a complete and permanent alteration in the river's course. Relief work is proceeding, with Yuncheghsi as the base. PARIS, Sept. 19.—Science, represented by two dozen English, French and American doctors, was last night confronted and confused by Tera Bey, the Indian takir, when he buried himself under the sand for nearly half an hour, temporarily "killed" rabbits, and had long spikes driven into him, all while the doctors looked on and watched carefully for any signs of deception on the part of the performer. Before a large crowd, including the doctors, who packed, the Salles des Fetes, Tera Bey allowed himself to be put into a box, after which the box was covered, a foot deep with sand. Another box was slipped under this stifling pile for fully 24 minutes. It had "originally been intended he should remain only 20 minutes, but on the protest of someone in the audience, that there might be a fake 'the four extra minutes were added.' When the lid was removed and the inside box opened Bey appeared as if dead, and when he stood up he looked as if he had really risen from the dead. A moment afterwards, he stepped briskly down among the audience. Spikes driven into his face, shoulders, and arms did not bother Tera Bey, while the scientists and audience gasped at the fact that hardly any blood appeared when the nails were removed. A long, thin knife was driven into his body, and the fakir smiled slightly as it was pulled out. The majority of the doctors admitted their bewilderment at the fakir's powers. WEDDING BELLS Mr. E. E. Mair, Formerly of the Negro World, and Miss Philip, of Jamaica, Wed The marriage of an old U. N. I. A. member and worker took place on the evening of Sept. 19, when Ernest E. Malr, formerly executive secretary of the St. Louis Mo. division, and later circulation manager of the Negro World, was married by the Rev. S. H. Bishop in St. Phillip's Episcopal Church. New York, to Miss Nora Ethlyn Philp, of Darlington, Jamalco. B. W. I. The bride was given away by Senor A. D'Acosta, white Mr. Aston Cooper acted as groomsmaster. The bridemaids were Mrs. A. Knox and Miss Louise Cooper. Following the ceremony a reception and dance was held at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. E. L. Palma. 291 W. 147th street, after which the couple left for a brief honeymoon in Atlantic City. Many valuable and useful presents were received from friends and relatives of both parties. West Virginia Colored Farmers WASHINGTON.-Since January 1, 1920, more than 200 colored farmers have located in the State of West Virginia, principally in Barbour, McDowell, Greenhurrier, Payette, Raleigh, Berkeley, Grant, Taylor, and Pendleton counties. Although sufficient tests have been made of the truck-producing qualities of the soils to show that a supply far in excess of the State's demand might be produced at home, vegetables valued at more than $5,000,000 are annually purchased from other States and distributed to consumers in the towns and cities of West Virginia. Adjoining States also furnish most of the larger towns and cities with much of their supply of cream, butter and milk, and it is because of these conditions that efforts are being made to increase the agricultural resources of the State.

Order the Oct. 1—Public opposition to the 'Stone Department's barring of Shapuril Sakirtalvah, British Communist M. K., was crystallized this week at a public meeting in New York City under the auspices of the American Civil Liberties Union. Frank P. Walsh, Congressman F. H. Luguardia, Arthur Garfield Hays, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and J. A. H. Hopkins, were the speakers. They were joined by Ronnie Smith, labor member of the British Parliament, Mr. Smith made his protest on three counts, he said; first, as a member at Parliament; second, as a member of the Inter- Parliamentary Union to which Sakirtalvah was to have been a delegate; and third, as "one who values freedom." Samuel Untermyer, presented from attending the meeting in person, sent a message in which he declared, "the action of the State Department not only without semblance of justification or excuse but clumsy and stupid." Saklatvala "is not only a member of the British Parliament twice elected and seated in that body with full knowledge of his alleged traitorous views." Mr. Untermyer said, "He was dyed accredited as a delegate to this conference. What shadow of right had we to censor the personnel of the delegates? The action taken is a gross breach of hospitality and as such should have been recognized." That there is a storm brewing over the incident in the sessions of the Inter-Parliamentary Union is indicated in a statement by Ronnie Smith, M. P., a delegate to the conference who has joined with the Americans in protest against Kellogg's decision. "I can imagine," said Mr. Smith, "that the Inser-Parliamentary will want to take its books off and see whether they were made in Liberty Store. They may even want to show the trade mark to all whom it may concern." Saklativla has cabled the Civil Liberties Union, in response, to an offer of legal assistance should some, way be found of testing the validity of Secretary Kellogg's ruling, urging that he be permitted to come and have a hear- JUST OUT There are many wonderful secrets revealed in this book of knowledge and creating an immense sensation.

Walker Co., Inc., ha iniciado un certamen para enviar los más conspicuous hombres y mujeres de la raza identificados con las diversas instituciones de este pais, en viaje alrededor del mundo a espensas de dicha corporacion. Los errores constidos por los demas resultará en beneficio para nuestra raza—En la constitución de un imperio ejecutamos lo realizable—La falta de confraternidad ocasiona la caida de los imperios—Si un solo caudillo africano puede contener el impulso de un gran poder militar, nada será imposible para cuatrocientos millones de negros organizados Un cierto numéro de votos es adjunto, a cada uno de los artículos preparados por la Walker Co., y los compradores pueden utilizar estos para dar su voto a su candidato favorito. El Sr. Percival L. Burrows, energico secretario general asistente de esta organization es uno de los candidatos, y en su apelación, a continuation persigue el soporte de los miembros de la organización. Imperios han surgido e imperios han caido; imperios caeran en el futuro debido a la conducta observada por aquellos que los dirijen. Hemos adquirido gran experiencia en la historia de los gobierno; hemos seguido paso a paso las actuaciones en la historia de los imperios. Hubo una Grecia, una Roma, una Babilonia, una Alemania y vivimos aún en una época de imperios, imperios que como en el pasado estan sujetos a la misma alternativa. A los oficiales y miembros de Divisions de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra He sido aceptado por la Madam C. J. Walker Co., Inc., como uno de los candidatos para el viaje alrededor del mundo, en el cual soy el representante de esta organización, y cuyo endoso ha recibido la aprobación de nuestro presidente general LHon. Marcus Garvey. Un gran número de instituciones de la raza estan representadas en esta elección, y estoy seguro que sera nuestro deseo el que la nuestra se ve también representada. Es mi aspiración abiter el primer premio como vuestro representante y para ello vuestro cooperación es requerida, enviando a estas oficinas los cupones, llenados que, se encuentran adjuntos a los artículos de tocador que dicha corporación fabrica. Nuestras observaciones en este sentido nos llevan a la conclusión de que la falta de consideración del sentimiento, de los sufrimientos y del amor fraternal para aquellos a quienes se gobierna, es el principal motivo para la destrucción de los grandes imperios. La caida de las naciones y de sus gobiernos ha sido siempre causa por el espiritu desorganizado, el sentimiento desorganizado de los que constituyen aquellas naciones; una clase oponiéndose y luchando en contra de la otra clase, estableciéndose la revolución social. Los conocimientos adquiridos en el estudio de la historia de los pueblos, nos determinan la constitución de nuestro propio imperio. En dirección hacia tal destino hemos de tener muy presente los errores cometidos por los otros pueblos; no incurriendo en ellos nada ha de interponerse en el camino hacia el éxito. Algunos, pesimistas aun, manifiestan que los que dirijen y compолen la Asociación Universal para el Adelatno de la Raza Negra aspiran lo imposible, porque Africa se haya controlada por grandes poderes nuestra raza nunca podrá competir con ellos. Porqué no tomar en consideración la historia del surgir y del caer de los imperios? En la seguridad de speciir vuestro soporte reefjendido asi la gran potencia de instrema organización; tengo el honor de ser. Vuestro obediente servidor. P. I. BURROWS.

Nuestra opinión no tiende a profetizar la caída o destrucción de ninguno de los imperios o naciones existentes; simplemente nos basamos en el hecho de que a menos que no se opere un cambio en la actitud del fuerte, la ruina sera inevitable. El monopolio industrial, el monopolio comercial, el monopolio económico, coloca el poder en manos de los pocos seleccionados y debido al egoismo de su administración, las masas sufren las consecuencias en el curso de su existencia. A esto sigue naturalmente el descontento del cual dimana el anhelo de correjir el mal, resultando el destronamiento del opresor y la anquilación de su poder. Imperios han caidó en el pasado y caerán en el futuro; su destino ha sido prescrito debido a sus actuaciones. El negro del presente se organiza con el propósito de fundar, un gran imperio africano en el mañana, pero si ignora la consideración de los que lo compongan, su imperio correrá la misma suerte de los demás.

Jefes de la Costa del Oro.se reunen para fustrar los métodos de esclavitud en africa (Del Gold Coast Leader) El próximo 7 de septiembre se efectuará una conferencia general de los reyes y de la Costa del Oro con la Sociedad Protectora de los Derechos Aborigenes, para considerar cuestiones vitales que afectan al país. Es de esperarse que todos los leaders atiendan en persona a esta reunión representativa y estamos seguros de que la sociedad aprovechará la oportunidad para extender invitación especial a los representantes que tomaron parte en la reciente conferencia de Nsawam. Tres de estos, el Hon. Nana Afori Atta, el Hon. Nene E. Mate Kole y el Hon. Nana E. doh III, son miembros exoficio del consejo legislativo. En cumplimiento de un deber no veniam la razón por la cual estos no asistan personalmente a la conferencia, toda vez que sus recientes actividades hace necesario que expliquen a sus jefes hermanos la fe que profesan con respecta la jurisdicción nativa. Experimentamos una crisis nacional la cual debe ser considerada seriamente. Algumos afos ha el gobierno introdujo un proyecto de Tierra de la Corona en este país, por medio del cual se intentaba concreter todas muestras tierra, pasando esta poder de la Corona. Este proyecto fue derribado. Sinimarango, tan pronto el mismo gobierno tuvo la oportunidad, confiqué todas las tierra de nuestro hematoma en el Africa oriental, declaró Tierra de la Corona. En esta parte del contencio ha derrubado una vez en menos del gobierno, dote himno grasos concretes a capítulo brilante de la parte infernal, y la talmán regresa solo permeada a las leones. En otros orígenes del diez. Y quién podra discutir que somos nosotros el pueblo que haya de enseñar al mundo las cualidades de libertad y de democracia, las prácticas de misericordia y de justicia humana? Quien podra dudar que de los escombros de los imperios el negro fundará un imperio modelo, el cual enseñe al hombre a gobernar propiamente? Si, por ejemplo, aquellos que colocaronJa fundación del imperio británico la hubieran basado en el respeto al derecho humano y tratado a los demás con la debida consideración, nunca hubieran existido discordia y descontento dentro del imperio todos sus componentes hubieran laborado en pro de su estabilidad. Pero debido a la practica de actos inhumanos, los oprimidos se revelan en contra del poder. Los estadistas en los gobierno predominantes prestam muy poca atención a las aspiraciones de progreso de las masas, y reusan legislar en pro de tal adelanto. Los métodos adoptados para subyugar salvajes o paganos, no pueden ser usados para gobernar los pueblos civilizados o cristianos. Continuées esa tactica y ellos se revelarán; continüese reusando interpretar las aspiraciones de las masas y los imperios irán camino de la destrucción. El negro no ha de iniciar ningua lucha armada; se dirije pacificamente por el camino hacia la restitución de sus detechos. En la hipotesis de que nutestra razá luengo de organizada debidoamente fueru forzada en una contienda, ¿cuánto no podría realizar cuando notamos al presente un pufido de valientes africanos contagiendo el impulso de un gran poder militar? cano oriental se haya absolutamente sin propiedad, teniendo al mismo tiempo que pagar primicias a la Corona. Para llenar este requisito tiene que, obligado por la ley, trabajar en las propiedades de los europeos. De la posición de dieños y produciendo por su detecho para el amplio mercado universal, el africano oriental ha sido convertido en peón en su propiedad y directamente un esclavo de un sistema económico de dominio y de explotation. Estas es una situación intolerable en la mayor parte del continente africano y tal vez hoy hubieramos experimentado lo mismo en la Costa del Oro. Es evidente que el capitalista británico no está conforme con la explotación en el oriente de Africa, sin que tiende sus mitas hacia esta regiones y con sus caitos de sierra expresa las ventajas del sistema de plantación, invitando a los africanos a reunir sus intereses con los de los europeos, indudablemente para beneficio de estos ultimos. Es poco conveniente para cierta clase de europeos el que exista entre los africanos elementos que discurran y pueden ver las tramas que se ponen en juego. Es nuestro propósito el explicarlas a una nuestro, pueblo para que la nueva generación realize el precio de libertad esta cotizado en el mercado de la previsión eterna. Un medio facil para tomar posición de las tierra se ha en la actitud servil de algunos, jefes. Apareja a la cuestion de propiedad en nuestra historia la cuestion de jurisdicción nativa. Si la jurisdicción hereditaria de los jefes es confiscada y estos permanece como figuras decorativas, es fácil comprender que el derecho a las tierra puede ser usurpado. Toda vez que los jefes en este pais son representantes elegidos del pueblo, por el pueblo y para el pueblo, el de el deber de ese mismo pueblo el velar por la salvaguardia de su derecho nacional tanto en la soberania como en la propiedad. Pasas razones es deber de esa conferencia estuarida ciudadamente la situación y tomar las medidas para asegurar el respeto a ese mismo derecho en el futuro. Se anuncia que el Hon. Orfushy Gore, se subsecretario para las colonias, hara una visita oficial a este país durante el mes de octubre de noviembre proximo. No estamos seguros si el gobierno estará de acuerdo con las bases por la cual se hace necesario para nosotros como pueblo, tomar más medida preventiva con respecto a nuestro derecho nacional. Estelóso no lo este, será deler de la Sociedad de Aborigenes el presentar; dicho secretario muestra protesta absoluta al sistema de plantación, el cual intenta aplicarse a Costa del Oro. En concepción con estos posibles el que tenemos el soporte de gobernadores en esta region, tales como Sir Hugh Clifford, último gobernador de Nigeria, nuestro actual gobernador y el gobernador de Sierra Leona. No hemos omitir el homenaje de apreciación a la Sociedad de Aborigenes de Londres, la cual una y otra vez ha advocado la causa de los pueblos debiles. La idea que agita la mente de los leaders de los hijos de Africa es la condición económica de esclavitud, con la cual capitalistas europeos y americanos resuelven absolver al africano, después de haber adquirido este su emancipación física. La causa es justa y apesar de lo insiduo del capitalista, el resultado no sera inicio. Africa anhela ser libre y Africa sera libre. Huelga popular contra la guerra. Los puntos principales que el partido laborista britanico va a discutir en su vigesima quinta conferencia anual, estriban en la nacionalización de los recursos naturales y la declaración de guerra fuera de ley. El capitalismo en todos los departamentos de la vida social hace la propiedad colectiva de los medios de producción, una necesidad imperatica que unicamente puede introducir en un gobierno laborista Los medios mas eficientes para impedir las guerras se han bosquejado en el consjo de industrias y el partido laborista recomendara la huelga, toda vez amenaza una ruptura de realciones diplomaticas. Hara además un llamiento al gobierno britanico para que de a los obreros chinos una norma de vida mas equitativa y condiciones de empleo mas adecuadas, y para que femente una política que reconozca la integridad china, restableciendo su status internacional. La causa del escrito en el mundo entero ha recibido appyo del consejo de la Laga de Nactones, con la adopción de un protocolo en que se proclama la abstinencia de la echuvitud bajo toda sus formas. El consejo ha invidido una comunicación a todos las mociones, requiriendo el envio de un pleno仲壕acion a la agapita gambalina para que firme el concurso. GARVEY DAY AT LIBERTY HALL (Continued from page 3) there is anything that has brought you into the 'Universal Negro Improvement Association,' it is the idea of 'African' redemption, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as far as the African today where it did in 1918. The redemption of Africa is not far off. If we rest now—if we sit down now, we are sitting down in sight of our goal. Africa already has begun to strike her blow for freedom. Some of us thought that it would be 25 or 45 or 55 years before Africa really struck her blow for freedom, but we are about to see the redemption of Africa take place under our very eyes, which attests to the fact that the African Imperial Association has not in vain. Africa tonight is in a new Africa; her eyes are open; her newspapers are speaking in more emphatic terms then ever before; congresses are now being organized in various parts of Africa for the purpose of taking care of the interests of the natives. Africans today are refusing to fight Africans; the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has now made a circuit of the world; Africans had so much confidence in Africans that they had the courage to go forth to battle and die upon the battlefields that the thing Garvey has been talking about may be realized. (Applause). If we stop now we fall the great cause to which we have dedicated our lives. Africa Needs this the U. N. I. A. Africa now needs the Universal Negro Improvement Association more than ever. I have been in touch just in the last week with two influential personages from Africa talking over the African program and just what they expect of the African Negro with Americanization in 1926 (plausible). I want to tell you Africa is serious. (Applaise.) These African are more serious than lots of us here, and as those men talked to me I could see in their eyes seriousness and determination and willingness to make any sacrifices regardless of what it was for the redemption of their country. There is much work that they expect us to do in Africa. As you know, our method of carrying our propaganda to Africa is now greatly changed and many things that will be going on in Africa are known by the rank and file of Negroes everywhere. As one of those gentlemen said to me: "We must do this because the job we tackled is serious." What is the Western World Negro part? What part are you going to play in this great awakening of Africa? Not to, he loaded on ships and carried back; but your part is to furnish the slaves of war; your part is to furnish the money and scientific knowledge necessary to assist in bringing about Africa's redemption. If we stop now we write our names down either as workings of forwarders or as missionaries; we will never forgive the Negro of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who had the opportunity to change his destiny as a race and as a people. Ready for Battle I am announcing tonight to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and world that I am ready for battle for the cause to which I have congratulated my life. Somebody is badly misled if they think that the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to sit quietly by and see this thing on which our hopes are placed destroyed. The light is on for the carrying on of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the same shape, form and fashion as given to us. Garvey has given his all and is giving his all for the program of the association; surely we who are on the outside not called upon, to make such sacrifices can at least prove ourselves worthy of the trust placed in us; can at least prove ourselves equal to the task of carrying on the great movement he so nobly started. If the real day of the Universal Negro Improvement Association it should be coming to Christianity did not really begin to spread until Jesus Christ was mailed to the cross; it was then that his disciples took the teaching of Christianity to the four corners of the earth. The world hardly knew Martin Luther until they burned him at the stake; it was then, that his disciples picked up the teaching of Protestantism and carried it to the four corners of the earth. But when Marcelus Garvey goes to prison, if those of his disciples left behind lose their courage and get cold feet they are not worthy of the responsibility and trust placed in them. For the Cause of a Race We have a duty to perform and that duty is to add and assist in the bringing about of the deprivation of Africa. Let everything we do tend to that one direction; if we build Liberty Hall it is but for the purpose of enabling us to get nearer to our goal: if we open up a business it is but for the purpose of getting additional revenue to assist us in getting nearer to our goal: if we engage in this business, or the other business it is, but the purpose of assisting ourselves in a financial position to reach our goal; but our objective is Africa; our objective is nationhood; we are fighting for the cause of a race and not the cause of a group; for a race that is 80 times the time of the Puritan women; for a race what a dangerous thing is race is when you get it stirred up. We are fighting for the cause of a race; so he is here in Liberty Hall reason us, responsibility and routine that we hold in our hands the destiny of a people of unknown generation. Assure yourselves like men; must understand one more: responsibility fighting toward the realization of our objective. Africa is depressing new our import. Africa bought is a new Africa; it can grow by the same after the edges of HOW TO ACQUIRE RACIAL KNOWLEDGE READ THE PHILOSOPHY AND OPINIONS OF MARCUS GARVEY Edited by AMY JACQUES GARVEY Know what is really going on in world politics to affect the Negro.

AMY JACQUES GARVEY, Bou Sh, Station L NEW YORK CITY Adel-Krish. Whichever Adel-Krish succeeded or fails Africa will be and remain a new African; for the very effort on the part of Krish in North Africa to release the native fruits white overlandship is a corporate example to the native Africa everywhere that with united effort and action they can overthrow this overlandship. White Superiority Punctured Africans, heretofore have regarded the white man as a god; they looked upon the white man as something almost invincible; but under the leadership of Klim they are learning that the white 'race' that controlled them are flesh and blood like themselves; that when they stick bayonets into white soldiers... they also groan and bleed; they have found out that if you starve the white man he dies. This realization on the part of the native African is bound to manifest itself in united effort on the part of Africans everywhere to overthrow their oppressors. If we fail at this time here in the Western World we would betray our trust. Hence what I am telling you tonight is: 'Let us continue on in this nant for African redemption; let us stand unitedly regardless of what it might cost; let us endure a little more; let us remember that when the enemy is knocking at the doors, is the time, for the occupant of the house to be on his guard to keep the enemy out; do not allow the follow on the outside to break into your ranks. Fight On We must and we will fight on as long as black men are brutalized, down-trodden and oppressed; we will and must fight on toward a free and redeemed Africa as long as black men are made the victim of oppression and exploitation. We must continue to fight on as long as God gives us the foreseeable to see, the wisdom to understand and the courage to fight. Let black men everywhere unitedly continue to fight on until those who oppress us, until those who entangle us, until those who rob and exploit the black men shall oppress, rob and exploit him no longer. Fight on until those who imprison black men because they agitate too vigorously for their race shall imprint black men no more; fight on until the naked and bloody hands of the lynchers shall cease to put the rope around the black man's neck; fight on until black mothers shall fear no longer for the children that they hear; fight on until black men shall reach their place in the world alongside other races and nations where they can enjoy liberty, freedom and equality. Fight on until black men shall suffer no more from blasted hopes, from crushed aspirations; fight on with a vigil and determination that will see no ceasing, that will stand no hating until the Negro has reached his objective. Methods to Be Fought I hate the methods used by the white man to keep the Negro in a certain sphere of activity, and I feel that every Negro hakes with the same intensity these methods. It is the duty of Negroes of the Universal Negro impoverment. Association especially—having seen the light as they do—to fight these methods, to fight that injustice as virtue fights vice; fight it as liberty fights tyranny; fight it as error fights truth; fight it with every fiber, with every bit of blood and bone in your bodies until black men have succeeded in building in the world a place like white men or like brown men have built for themselves and posterior. Yes, we will light on until black men will feel sneer the spirit of John Brown, the spirit of Tousaint Powerhouse, and the conservation of Douglass, and having felt anew takes spirit they will rise in the might and majesty of their power, take for themselves their place in the world, make their racial contribution and hand down to posterity and legacy, then that handed down to the inhabitant of this fair country by the Palikim Fathers. We have no time to lose. Let every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association make up his or her mind tonight that regardless of what the cost may be, we at this particular time are going to maintain unity within our ranks. (Great Applause.) HON. G. O. MARKE SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. G. O. Marke, Deputy Potentate. He said: I have been on the field taking notes; I have been to Canada and I have been among the divisions Mr. Sherrill has spoken about, and I must say that I am very much cheered indeed by the fact that in spite of the machinations of the enemy these divisions are going very strong; they are still 100 percent for the Universal Negro Improvement Association; they are loyal to the cause. I listened to Mr. Sherrill with great attention, and I say to you, please all who come here to lend and give you, and who does not complain the fate of a free and respected Africa is a traitor to the cause. I have come all the way from Africa and have given all my prospect to like to be accompanied, with you because of the convictions of my own heart and because you say you want to unite together as she grows all over the world, for the submission of that great continent, I am sure that the great continent every week all by week, divides, who come here, and I know what their minds are on the subject. I want to tell you that the people there are very, very expectant, and I am glad Mr. Sherrill harped on that question of unity. In Africa there is to a large extent more unity than you think. The African is not afraid of the white man; he never was. He has been foolhardy; all the time he has been using bows, and arrows to fight a man who could kill him from far away, and he had gotten to be shy; he never was afraid of him and I don't think ever will be afraid of him as long as he lives. He wants your backing; he wants the scientific skill that you have; he wants the training that you have had, and with our united efforts he knows that he is going to pull through. It is not a question of your bodily going to Africa to help us; if you can only infuse your ideas into this vast continent, among those people and give them courage and let them know that you are sincere, that is all they need. Sincerity is what we want; we want to know that you are actually sincere and that you are, really united so that when the day comes for African redemption, you will not fall us. We want, with Legions because we want trained young men to come and help us over there; we want the Royal Guards and more of them; we want all your units—the Black Cross Nurses and the Motor Corps. We want to show the great interest we have in you, but if the Africans over there get to see certain things and hear certain things they will be discharged if they find that you are fighting among yourselves, because this organization booms large in the estimation of the people there; they look upon you here for guidance; they are listening; they are hearkening. Your Negro World they read it every time they get it. You must understand (although you may not see tangible results as you fancy) that there are real things going on there; the minds of the people there are being educated in the right direction of racial unity and racial uplift and above all things for the redemption of their country. The Case of Liberia Referring to Liberia, Mr. Marke said there was no reason for fear or alarm because of the present situation between Liberia and the Universal Negro Improvement Association because there will be in the near future a change in policy and government; but a good deal demands ourselves—how we handle the situation; we cannot rush helter-skelter and pell mell into it; the motto should be "Festival Lente" "Hatan slowly the fishman I look 500 years to gain his objectivity and so must we bide our time." So I am telling you tonight, "Mr. Marke concluded, "that a good deal depends upon yourselves and your activities. If it is your desire that Africa shall be redeemed, independently Africa will be redeemed. The example of an independent Negro Improvement Association throughout the length and breadth of Africa and when the African says I am tired of the white man; the white man must go. You must understand that the relative strength of the white man there is different than it is here. You go downtown and you may walk blocks before you see a colored face; but go to Africa and you may walk for one month and you do not see a white face; so when the black man on Africa is convinced that it is not to his interest that the white man should stay any longer, the white man must go. He fights his battles, he feeds him; it is the black man's country and with God's grace and your help it will remain a black man's country. My message to you tonight is to carry on." (Apology) Funk Herd Gaming THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Cultivation of the Mind; That's the Thing To the Editor of The Negro World: I feel that the loyal members of the race ought never, to stop condemning the members of the race who are so short sighted and egotistical that they are unable to see that the welfare of Negroes everywhere ought to concern them. There is a certain type of American Negro which seems to be contented to stand idly and see the rest of the race go to ruin and destruction just so he is able to enjoy a modicum of comfort and peace. Such people as these can accomplish nothing permanent in the way of prosperity for themselves. Marcus Garvey has given to his people a program which will benefit his people everywhere on earth. Only in this way can we ever gain anything as a grot. The mind of Marcus Garvey is not centered so much upon acquiring the physical characteristics of the white man by attaining the hair, whitening the skin and such kindred methods. He advocates the cultivation of gray matter to the end that the race might be better mentally and economically. L. D. MONCRIEFFE, Baton Rouge, La. Abd-al-Krim Is Fighting The Cause of Africa To the Editor of, The Negro World: Black people everywhere should have great sympathy for Ab-del-Krim. He is fighting for the home which has been handed down to him by his fathers. He is being called a rebel and a renegade because he is fighting to retain and protect that which is already his by all of the laws of inheritance. There seems to be no good reason to advance why the Riffians should not be a free and independent people. The only reason for war seems to be that another nation wants to possess that which already belongs to the Riffians. We read that many Americans have become no interested that they have gone thousands of miles to fight the Riffians. We ask, "What have the Riffians done to them?" Africa is the home of the black man. It is his natural place of abode. If he cannot live there in peace, where on earth can he live? The Riffians are only destiny the natural thing when they desire freedom and liberty in their own country. MRS. LULA BLANTON. Chicago, Ill. Time Has Arrived for More people do not join the U. N. I.

The Negro has thought according to the dictates of the white man long enough. The time has arrived for him to do some thinking on his own account. He must create his own ideals, and his inspiration must come from within the race. The world will always try to put a backward people farther in the rear. But the new Negro is not satisfied with this second place. He is making a place for himself according to his ideas as an intelligent and progressive human being. The principal aim of the U. N. I. A. is to establish a universal confraternity between members of the race the world over and to assist in the establishing and development of Negro nations and communities. We hope that Negroes everywhere will come more and more to see the necessity for adopting the program of the U. N. I. A. and getting together to try to put it over. DAVID CLARK. Suffolk, U. By G. EMONEI CARTER Secretary-General, U. N. I. A. It was a cold, dreary day in the month of February when a deep, subtle plot came to culmination in Harlem. It was the work of those who opposed, not an individual, but the well-organized efforts of an individual, who had succeeded, in spite of every possible attempt to defeat, impede and destroy a movement of the masses. He had succeeded because he had a vision and sought ever to be true to that ideal as it was visualized. He had succeeded because he believed in the cause he served, the people held, and the ultimate triumph of the great cause, in spite of all obstructions which might be thrown in his way. Those who planned the overthrow of the cause through the arrest and imprisonment of its leader, had not reckoned with the intensive training of its followers, who had imbibed its teachings for six years. The misses can be depended upon as long as they are rightly and honestly led. They can be relied upon to do, at the right time, the needed thing, when they are properly informed. It is only when they forget, that they hear the voice of a strange leader and wander away from the fold. The Selfish Little Man Do you wonder, then, that this in- inspired leader turned to his wife and asked the question, "Will they force me?" Was it the voice of a prophet who was able to see the selfish little men, rising up here and there, clamming Garvey had done his work well, but it was left to them to stabilize and put on a business basis that which he had left behind? Was it possible that he could foresee that those whom he had trusted to carry out his plans would substitute their ideas and set forth actions as the necessary thing to be done at this time and the only thing that will save the people? Or was it the gift of a sage who could see the people, trusting and considering in those who were found in crying they Javed not Gavney but the principles his brain gave birth to and the organization which he founded? That they would always serve the U.N.I.A. whether Garvey lived or died; and that they would not be guilty of "criminal negligence" in serving the people. "Will they forget me?" Listen to the plaintive wall. It was the cry of a wise leader who knew by observation and experience that it was natural for men to forget a great objective, when their minds were diverted in another channel; and especially, when that channel led them to see the good that might accrue to them and to them alone. He knew that selfish interests would be likely to engage and breed the attentions of miny, when it was adroitly done by a master mind given to subtlyty, ever starling as a Saviour of the people, who had been kept in gross darkness for years and needed his light for their salvation and redemption. He saw those who chied 'Garvey, Garvey,' when he was privileged to go and come at will and served him because, they feared his voice and will while he was free. He saw those who would forget that one great truth taught by him, "That no man ever served another or a cause without being paid," and that no member of a stronger group ever helped a member of a weaker group unless that individual has designs, seen or held in reserve." "That great love for a struggling race is not born overnight in the hearts of a race far removed from like conditions of that people. That man only serves another when he is quite sure that he will obtain his ultimate goal, and that without detection on the part of those he essays to serve for nothing." Apt to Forget Will they forget that the redemption of Africa will be lost sight of when men and women become engrossed in the struggle to erect, maintain and pay for structures that will cost, nearly a million dollars in one building. That the more money invested in buildings and lands in the places you find yourself domiciled the more difficult it will be for you to cut away from these holdings, when the time comes for your moving elsewhere, and that toward Africa. Will they forget that ever cause, however detrimental to its followers, has its leader, who poses as a saviour and is always the best and greatest man that the then age has known, for those whose eyes are holden with the dust of selflessness? Ah, they may forget his teachings when other things are thrust upon them, but when they remember and awaken to their folly they will forget all but the madness. Then it will be dangerous to recall your day of triumph, the day you rode into Jerusalem on the back of an ass colt, because the deluded and befuddled folk will demand an have their, Calvary. It is ever thus, and Lincoln was right when he said: "You may fool some of the people all of the time; you may fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

With the Riff Armises. Riff General Headquarters, Targhzuit, Sept. 8, by Courlier to Tangler, Sept. 23. In closing his interview with me today, Gen.

For the first time in the North African war a voice representing the supreme authority of the Riff suggested intervention by America on behalf of peace. U. S.

The "To continue war is ruin," he said earnestly. "Is there nobody—America, England or Italy—who is ready to speak out for peace?" Fight for Existence "What is the explanation of this success against the mightiest military power in Europe? he asked. 'Perhaps topography and climate have a great deal to do with it. But most of all, it is our manners of fighting.' "We fight desperately because we are fighting for our existence, for our right to live in peace and liberty.' "What are the French fighting for? I confess I don't know. They are expending, easily $1,000,000 daily—probably more at the present rate. And for what purpose? Allah only known! Not for conquest, because even if they do conquest the Riff—which would mean many more months and many more thousands of French lives and hundreds of millions of dollars—it would do them no good whatever. They could never hold it." "No power since the world began has ever been able to control the Riff. French Are Blamed. "The French responsibility for the outbreak of this war is clearly proved and my brother, Abd-e-Krim, has all the original documents, which he will show you when you see him in a few days. "Having begun, this war, where do they mean to end it?" There is no means of knowing. "One party, headed by Lyautex, wants the blood to flow until France is again bankrupt—knill she has drained her young men, and until the Riff is totally ruined. Another party wishes to open negotiations as soon as the rainy season begins, in about three weeks. "As for myself, I have hope for peace. I have great faith in Painlova. I met him in 1923 when I was in Paris, and he told me then that he was ready to do anything in his power to help us achieve both peace and independence. Of course he was only a party leader then, not a Premier, but undoubtedly he is an honest man. Depends on Painlave "I hope he will be able to bring about peace negotiations. To do so is extraordinarily simple.
