HON. MARCUS GARVEY REVEALS HOW CROOKS AND SHARKS PREY UPON THE PEOPLE IN REAL ESTATE UNDERTAKINGS
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: As I said last week in my article, which is concluded this week, it is necessary for the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to take long views, to be more vigilant and discerning than ever. On the average the Negro loses 50% more annually in real estate holdings, investments, stocks, bonds, part time payments on furniture, etc., than any other race group in the United States, as well as elsewhere. A general confidence game is carried on in this direction by real estate brokers, crooked lawyers and certain Negro leaders and agents. In this unscrupulous white men and their Negro associates indulge.
Building a New Church
For instance, a Negro preacher would start a new church, gathering together as many religionists as possible to worship in a sufficiently accommodating building, or he may be called to the pastorate of an already established church. After being there for a comparatively short time, and without his congregation increasing to any appreciable extent, he would be approached by some Negro real estate broker or agent of some white-broker. He would be told how wonderful a man he is and talked into building or buying a new church more "becoming to him as leader of the community." Already the broker has found out that the present congregation holds the major part or all the equity in the present church property. By a subtle appeal to the preacher's vanity, he is induced to take up the proposition of the new building, although nothing in the world is wrong with the building now occupied.
"How Much for Me?"
The question of "How much is in it for me?" comes up, and this being the very question the broker subtly suggested, the broker readily offers the preacher a substantial bonus or commission on the deal. The preacher now is in line and immediately starts to preach a "powerful" sermon, showing by holy writ that there should be a new house of worship. In cases where the pastor is too honest or upright to bite the bait, a deacon or trustee who has "a pull" with the congregation is influenced to "put it over." In such event, things are made warm for the pastor and he is forced to resign or put out by a trick. To build the new church or purchase the other, big drives and "rallies" are instituted among the people to raise money needed for the first payment, out of which bonuses, commissions, etc., are paid. Women and young girls are generally used in these "rallies" to collect the money from Negro men and white families.
When the deal is put through you will find that all the equity the people had in the original building and the moneys raised in the "rallies" are grabbed up in the first payment on the new

LEGAL OPINION ON ONE OF THE METHODS OF THE "SHARKS" PRESENTED FOR GENERAL ENLIGHTENMENT
property, and a first, and sometimes a second mortgage, are taken out on the new property that tax to the limit its full value, thereby wiping out all equity for the people, the plan being to charge as much for the new building as will dispose of the equity in the first payment. Then the said people are called upon year after year to "rally" to pay the interest and reduce the payments on the mortgages, and when sufficient of the mortgages has been reduced, or the property paid for, a new scheme is hatched in which the old performances are practically repeated. In some cases, such as in the purchase of fraternal buildings and some churches, too, another scheme is used by the real estate broker and his confederates. Bonds are sold to the members or to the people.
A. Legal Opinion
And here let me mention that it has been a terrible fight for me to keep sundry branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from falling into the traps of these sharks, a combination of whom, allied with politicians, are trying to crucify me, considering me in the way. The following legal opinion on one of their methods is recited for general enlightenment:
"You submitted to me a proposed contract between the U. N. I. A. and the John Doe Company. After reading carefully the said proposed contract, my opinion is not to sign it for the following reasons:
"The U. N. I. A. will bind itself under the proposed agreement with no assurances that the John Doe Company will carry out the intention, that is, to put up the building in the proposed contract. If this proposed contract would be signed by the U. N. I. A. they would be obliged to give a deed in trust for $4,000, which money would go to the John Doe Company. You would further be obliged to pay all the bills that the John Doe Company may incur, that is, for printing, legal fees, architect fees, engraving, trustees' fees, etc., which may amount to a considerable amount of money, and under this proposed contract you are obliged to pay this first before anything else is done. The John Doe Company will also be entitled to 15% of all the bonds sold as well as 10% for the supervision of the building and also another 2% on the total bond issue. If you study carefully this proposed contract it is my opinion that the expenses
that will go to the John Doe Company will run above 40%.
"There is also another provision in the proposed contract that the U. N. I. A. is to assist them in disposing of the said bond certificates.
"My conclusion is that the John Doe Company is not to invest a five-cent piece in this enterprise, but at all times they will derive benefits by reason of the clause that they are to get their fees first. They intend to create a campaign to sell the bond certificates among the colored people and they will insist upon you to give them all the assistance you can, and if the colored people will not take up sufficient certificates to go through with the enterprise they will drop it under the pretense that if the colored people are not buying the bond certificates why should the white people do so?
"The net result will be that of whatever certificates sold they will get all the money to cover their expenses and you will lose the property.
"I will also add that this proposed contract does not state exactly the nature of the building, what income may be derived by way of rents, etc., and also actual cost of putting up such building. Those are necessary elements before a contract is signed."
Purchasing Private Houses
In the purchase of private houses the real estate brokers and agents are even more merciless in their exploitation of the race. By finding out the individuals in the community who might have a thousand dollars or two saved, the brokers directly or through their agents would influence such persons to invest in a home, either by purchasing waste lands in some adjoining State or out-of-the-way places, or a house in their immediate neighborhood. They influence the purchasers to pay up nearly all the money they have in hand and six months, or a year or two after they conspire to foreclose on the property or by well-devised tricks get the purchasers so disgusted that they themselves give up the properties which generally fall back into the hands of the brokers or their clique.
The race is similarly robbed in the part time payment on expensive furniture they are induced to buy through confidence men. A careful study of the situation from 1914 to the present time would reveal an alarming state of affairs. I have only stated these facts to open the eyes of the people and to show you from what source my enemies within the race come. These tricks are common, and no organization, church or community is free from them. I make no exception of the great Universal Negro Improvement Association.
To work reform in such an atmosphere challenges the divinity of a Christ and not the frail and weak patience of a mortal. I have made my little sacrifice in creating the sentiment for reform. Let others now take up the work and carry on while I remain confined.
I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
MARCUS GARVEY,
Founder and President-General,
Universal Negro Improvement Association.
CONSCIENCE NOT DEAD IN WASHINGTON, BUT SLUMBERING
OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT OF 200,000 ON 18,000 HALTED, AS RAIN DESCENDS ON RIFF MOUNTAINS
Says Americans, Received No Official Remonstrance; U. S. Ambassador to France, to the Contrary, Was Sorry He Could Not Join
PARIS, Oct. 8.—With a four-inch ear on his left cheek which will require a special surgical operation to save the head of a man broke in and write shoe he entered the campaign against Abd-al-krima and the Riffs, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Kierwood, second in command of the American, air squadron now fighting under the banner of the Sultan of Morocco, arrived in Paris today.

been badly hurt when his machine caron on his left cheek which will require a special surgical operation to save the head of a man broke in and write shoe he entered the campaign against Abd-al-krima and the Riffs, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Kierwood, second in command of the American, air squadron now fighting under the banner of the Sultan of Morocco, arrived in Paris today.
His injuries will prevent him from taking part in the campaign for several weeks, and he has been assigned to serve as jason officer in Paris between, Colonel Charles Sweeney's "Garde Gherlione" and the French War Department. He is the first of the American flyers to return to Paris, although the others may be allowed leave of absence for two months, returning to the front when the rainy season subsides in January. Denise Using U. 8, Insignia of lieutenant Colonel Kerwood gave her Herald Tribune the first definite reply to the many criticisms which have appeared in the American and foreign press on the participation of the American flyers in the African campaign.
To commence, he said, "we are not wearing the American uniform at all. We wear a special form of the French Colonial uniform. Our planes wear the blison, not the American eagle as has been reported, and, besides me, it's some blison—wider than anything the Riffmans ever saw. We wear the American eagle as a special button.
We are just what we claimed to be, volunteers in the Sultan's guard, calling ourselves the 'Garde Cheri-Seine' and wearing the triangular insignia by the sutton, which has been presented to every member of the organization and accepted in person. We have never even claimed the right to use the title 'Lafayette Escadrille'.
Heard No Official Protest.
"We have never received official news or even official intimation that our activities were against the policy of the American government. If the government sent any official protest there might have been an inclination to submit to any decision taken by our home government; but nothing of the sort ever reached us and we have received constant assurances that our participation in the Morocco canvassing campaign was at home. For instance, didn't Ambassador Herrick send us a message telling us that if he were only young enough he would be delighted to join us in the work we were doing?"
The idea that the French expedition was a picnic-was dispelled by Lieutenant Colonel Kernwood. "It means fighting," he said, "fighting hard all the time. Our camp has been within-three kilometers of the advanced posts, a condition never known during the war with Germany. Frequently at night our camp has been entirely surrounded by the enemy, who filtered through our posts and fired for hours into our shelters.
"It has been impossible to leave camp after dusk without being shot at and Colonel Sweeney even had a horse shot under him if broad daylight. Other members of the Garde Cherifenne also have had narrow escapes. Don't get the idea that the Rifman is too flattering to the Rifman is fighter and is willing to fight for our own conviction is that the campaigns will not and as soon as many believe it will. At any rate, we are in a winter of it."
Leutnant Colonel Kernwood preferred to talk of his camp mates and their plans rather than his own fortunes. He admitted that he had

been badly hurt when his machine crashed in the first week of the "garde" operations over the Rifman lines. "I wore a plaster cast for three weeks and then I couldn't stand it any longer so I took it off. After a few nights something haplenied. I am not quite sure whether it was while dropping bombs or while rigging a machine gun, but an old break in a splintered bone responded in another place. They say I'm done for another two months but I'm just - anglia - as ever - to get back again."
Swaeney "a. Born. Leader"
He declared that Colonel Bweeney, who is a former officer, of the Foreign Legion, and who won the Distinguished Cross for services in the American army during the war, was a born leader of men and a soldier at all times. Although he was not an aviator before, said Lieutenant Colonel Kerwood, Colonel Bweeney now makes daily flights beidees handling the squadron's business transactions with the Sultan and the French officials.
"They have had lots of fun jokings about us back home," he weag on; "about our being fancy dress aviators but I want to tell you that, of the nineteen members of the squadron, fourteen are pilots. The rest are on almost daily duty as observers. Then there Jimmy Sparks, from Indianapolis, who came out as a combination aviator and dentist. Today Sparks holds a clinic in the mornings for the benefit of the French and native mechanics; then he visits the dispensary which he is opened up in a neighborhood as an observer, and when he is not doing anything else he joins the infantry columns for the fighting in the front lines. That is the spirit which every member of the squadron has shown from the start."
Avoid Bombing Villages
The American aviators, he said, at first were annoyed by criticism that they were bombing native villages in which there were women and children. In this regard and to show the extent of the operations of the American flyers, he said that for the last three weeks eight machines showed more than 420 flying hops, the planes leaving 100 miles away for three days to embarrass enemy concentrations. Frequently, he said, it was necessary to bomb villages which the enemy used as shelters, but this was avoided whenever the Riffans could be caught in the open.
"We were convinced," he added, "that the claims of Abdel-Krime are against, the law as laid down in international treaties. Even the American government has raised no protest against this attitude. Therefore, we have decided that we have the same right, even if we belong to a non-European nation, to aid in preserving peace and order; as any individual would have to go to the aid of a Paris policeman who had been attacked by a group of murderers and bandits openly defying established laws."
Though Lieutenant Colonel Keywood declined to confirm the report, it is said that more than the fighting is interesting at least one of the American flyers. A Pennsylvanian, with a fine military record in two campaigns, is said to have captured the heart of the beautiful daughter of a French official in the Moroccan administration. No engagement has been announced, but it is considered significant that this pilot refuses to take the air unless he has a white daisy painted on his bombs. He wears a daisy on his uniform and a huge daisy is painted on the front end of his fuselage.

My credentials had preceded me and my visit a year ago was pleasantly remembered. I found myself the only correspondent with the Riff forces.

New York Mob Raises Lynch-Rope Cry As Young Negro, Accused of Assault Is Kicked and Beaten Before Rescue
"A Native appeared before Mrs Shelley P. Court in the First Criminal Court yesterday morning charged with staring rudely at a European lady.
"Complaintant said that whilst walking along the epilapia on the evening of August 18, she noticed the accused staring at her from the side of the pavement. He had a knife in his palm with her for some distance, and had made no attempt to pass her or lag behind altogether. Witness stopped, and finding that he also stopped, she ordered him to go on and not stare at her. The native made no remark but continued to glare insolently into her face. At this moment a young European came on the scene and arrested the accused.
"George James Thomas Smith. of 23 Davenport Road stated that he arrested the native he found, with a knife very strongly of methylated spirits: in fact, continued witness. 'I would never have dared to strike a match near him.'
"The Magistrate remonstrated with the accused on his behavior, and ordered that he be sent to fall with hard labor for a period of three months." (Editor's Note:—This is one strong reason why Africa should be redeemed.)
WASHINGTON HEARS PARIS RECALLED RIFF FLYERS Belief Prevails Americans Will Not Return to Morocco Due to United States Stand
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11—State Department officials would not comment tonight on reports from Paris that the French government had instructed American aviators forming the Sheriffian Air Guard on the Riff front to return to France due to conditions which make flying impracticable under present weather conditions. It was stated that the American government had no official advice regarding the action of the French government and advisers were expected in the matter. Intimations were gained here, however, that when the American aviators come out of Morocco they will not return to the Riff campaign and that France will not ask them to return. The United States has not demanded that Americans abroad remain about from the French-Morocco campaign, but indicated several weeks ago that the American aviators flying for France might be violating certain statutes.
Fight. Against Pecn Labor in Mexico
MEXICO CITY. Oct. 1.—The Mexican Bar Association, whose membership is entirely Mexican, today called a meeting to frame a protest against the proposed amendment to the Constitution which would require all corporations, whether native or foreign, operating under Mexican law to be managed by Mexicans and to have a majority of Mexican capital. Leaders of the association intend to make formal protest against the proposal that Congress enact such an amendment, holding that it would be injurious to foreign investments in Mexico and detrimental to natural progress.
Riffian Minister Shot From Gun as Traitor
TANGIER, Morocco, Oct. 6. - Advises from the fighting zone report that Si Mohammed Zezali, Foreign Minister in Abd-al-Krim's Government, was bound to the muzzle of a cannon recently and blown to pieces. He was accused of betraying the Rifian cause. Several leaders of the Boocoyd and Beni Urtraguel tribes also have been executed.
The arrival of three detectives from the East 14th Street Station yesterday prevented the rough handling of a young Margo who was charged with attaching a Girl's girl in the hallway of a brass at 1777 Lexington avenue, between 1777 and 11th Street.

'WHITE MAN NOT SENT TO RULE BLACK PEOPLES'
Churchmen Urge Full Race Equality—See Ghastly Tragedy in Preservation of Superiority. Idea—Prestige of Character Counts.
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Race problems occupied the attention of the Episcopal Church Congress at Eastbourne, today, and grave words of warning were uttered to the perils involved in ranging the white race against black, brown or yellow peoples. Lord Willingdon, who has been Governor of two Presidencies in India, and J. H. Oldham, Secretary of the Interpolational Missionary Council, who has traveled all over the world and been a close student of the Anatolic question particularly, agreed that it is impossible to continue the old policy of white supremacy, Willingdon traced to a war growth, the idea of self-determination of the colored races in the East. They not only resented the idea of inferiority, but believed that the Eastern standard of morality is in many ways higher than the Western.
"In my view," said Lord Willingdon, "there is only one solution of the problem. The white races must realize the necessity of treating all color men in the spirit of absolute equality and give up the attitude of color superiority. Providence long ago placed the white man in the position of a trunze, whose wards, the colored men, are now rapidly colonized. The colored men, by colonizing them, even for their good. At best he can only tactfully guide them past particular dancers.
"Hastily believe," he continued. "In the whole attitude of the white to colored races could be altered. If the white man would always act in a spirit of giving equality and opportunity to those who are colored, what appears now as an aggressive and unreasonable attitude on the part of the colored races would entirely change and they would be willing to choose the colorful race. In spite with a dual sense of the difficulties surrounding them. The only one way of doing this is by always carrying into relations with the colored races the principles of the Christian faith, and remembering that 'there is a divinity who shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will.'"
Secretary "Oldham, analyzing the causes of race discrimination, had special stress on the economic side, and said that the basis of the exclusive imprint policies of America, and the official standards of living might be affected by the admission of cheap labor."
As a keen student of eastern affairs, he pointed out that many of the leading Moslems of the Near East, with their eyes open to the irreconcilable differences between Holocaust and Mohammedanism, were filled with so throw in their lot with the Bolsheviks solely because they felt that the Bolsheviks treated them as equals, whereas the western nations did not. He urged the congress to remember that whilst theague the vast majority of the avid mobilizing man into classes and thinking of Indians or Chinese, and not of them as individuals. He asked the audience to face the faeta squarely.
"A solid white front inevitably means a solid yellow, brown or black front," he said. "And that can only have one morning—war. The only way to prevent drifting into disarray is for men of courage and true vision to refuse to be entangled into the snare of radicalism. They should strive to ensure the triumph of their claims of humanity, even though it brings them the opposition of men of their own race. Who must more fity take the role in another than the Christian Church," he concluded.
Bhoran Singha, a Christian Indian, who wore a turban and also addressed the congress, in perfect English, said. "We have got to get rid of the idea that God sent the white man to rule the black. We must get rid of the white man's prestige. Not the prestige of color, but the prestige of character will count in the future."

"WILL THEY FORGET ME?" What the Hon. Marcus Garvey Had in Mind When He Framed This Question
By G. EMONEI CARTER
Secretary General, U. N. I. A.
Memory is retentive, and in proportion to the attention and interest paid to the object or person remembered. We forget, when our interests are divided and the object to be thought of side-tracked for "something else," we must have discerned in a moment the holdings of the future, and its relations, as it had gripped his followers. He knew it was impossible for the masses to comprehend the magnitude of his program. He knew they had to be guided and led into the light of the task ahead—the building of nation. It is probable, therefore, when he asked, "Will they forget me?" that he thought of those in whose hands the leadership would fall, and that he was the guiding of the faithful masses. The "me" implied is not the man Garvey; but it is the ideal for which he stood—the ideal which obsessed him until it became his embodiment.
Will they forget that the white man has so trained his former slaves in the western world that this psychology is manifest in the children of these slaves even today. That they will only recognize willingly a leadership that is made by the white man and given to the Negroes as the embodiment of all that they again need. Will they forget the every thing attempted, and done by the members of the Universal. Negro Improvement Association. was done by Negroes alone and without the help of white men? Will they forget that he demonstrated the ability of Negroes to organize, collect, and expand, large sums of money without the interference of the other group?
Dictation by the Other Fellow
Ah. It is here that some of your slave have passed, we are allowing the other follow to dictate our policy and fashion the plans for training monies needed, as well as how it is to be paid back.
Will they forget that any sum, however large, that was needed was planned by him; and when his plans were put in operation, they always succeeded in raising the desired amounts? Will they forget that even though he is a man of great intellect in his career, he can and will devise plans for furtherness of his ideals. It consulted and given a chance to advise?
Will they forget that loyalty is attested not in words but in unwerving intellect to the cause he created and the ideals for which he now suffers martyrdom? Will they forget that he had counted the loss of African redemption and knew that he was a marked man, when he succeeded in awakening black men throughout the world?
Will they forget, that before he came, black men never left their work and play to spend 30 days in the hotest month of the year in deliberating on matters affecting himself; and, that during this time thousands of dollars were raised and spent in supplying the men with the black psychology and take on the black man's viewpoint, seeing things black—not with eyes blinded by prejudice—but with eyes open to the fact that everything held up as pretty by white men is not necessarily so, when measured by another standard. That beauty is determined by some fixed standards, and it is our privilege and duty to select our standard and not measure it. Will they forget, that he will return to us again; and in his return find his ideals crystallized or dissipated?
Then to whom will he turn? To those, whom he had hoped that the impression he had made was for good. For it is true, we remember beat the things we study. We study the things in which we become interested. We become interested in the things which engage and hold our attention. We love the things that fascinate and hold our attention. Hence it is easy to remember such things and objects. Can we forget the ideals, which he gave the world? Can we separate the ideals from the man? War he not the embodiment of his ideal? These are pertinent questions. We may forget his ideals, but when we answer these questions correctly, we can't forget their significance. Will they forget that he taught us the words of Ella Wheeler Wilcox: I will hold it true that thoughts are things.
Endowed with bodice, breath and wings.
And that we send them forth to fill
the world with good results—or fill.
It is God's law. Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known.
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life; and they
will fly.
And leave their impress by and by.
Like some marsh breast, whose poised
breath.
Breathe upon its favored breath.
And after you have quite forced
or all outgrows some vanished thought,
back to your mind to make its home,
a dove or rover. It will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have a vital part and share
In shaping world and mankind fate—
The system is so intricate.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE NOTIFIED LIBERIA ADMISSION OF U. N. I. A. EXPERTS WOULD BE CONSIDERED ACT OF AGGRESSION, IS REPORT
President King and Cabinet Taken to Task by Liberian People for Repudiation of Agreement With U. N. I. A. to Help in Industrial Upbuilding of Black Republic
PEOPLE ARE CONVINCED OF GARVEY'S SINCERITY
Harvey Firestone Not to Get Rubber Lands, Is Determination of People—Remedy for Depressing Situation May Only Be Found in General Election of 1927
If the masses of the Black Republic of Libera have their way, the Firestone interests of America will never fatten on the rubber lands of Liberia. So much has trickled through to the Negro World in spite of the close censorship on mails to America exercised by the Liberian authorities.
To grant Harvey Firestone the much talked of concessions would be to intensity feeling which is running high today in Liberia among the masses and to insure the downfall of the present government at the next general elections in 1927.
And so President King and his cabinets find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. On the one side stand France and Great Britain looking with previous eyes on any preferment granted American interests. On the other stands the great mass of people of Liberia determined that their lands shall not be bartered away, while ready money, though unhealthy money, as it will prove in the long run is there for the asking by a Republic solely in need of help.
And crowning it all, and strengthening the position of the people, in the memory of the recent repudiation by the Government of Liberia of the agreement with the Universal Negro Improvement Association to found colonies in four distinct regions and assist in the industrial development of the stagnant Republic.
People Aroused
Negro Improvement Association as it did on account of the pressure brought to bear by France and England to this end. France and England, it appears had intimated to Liberia that receiving "Garvey's experience" would amount to an act of aggression, and, with what France and England, holding territory on either side of the little republic, and the former already making encroachments under every specious pretext, to defy the big value would be to court destruction.
So the position stands at present in the little Black Republic of Liberia. The people are Garveyites the core and welcome the aid with the Universal Negro Improvement Association is able to render, while white imperialism and greed shoulders the blame for the repression of the righteous desire of a group of oppressed peoples to outstreet their destiny in the land of
The people of Liberia, the Negro World learns, are seeking with indignation over the churchill treatment accorded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the fall of 1922 when engineering experts from America, arrived in Liberia, with material and equipment valued at more than 50,000 dollars, to proceed, according to agreement, with the preparatory work of the colonizing plans for Cape Palmias And other districts, were turned away from Liberia's shores and sent back to America.
The material—sawmills, engineering stores, medicinal stores, etc.—remained in Liberia, the lamented death, just prior to the arrival of the experts in Liberia, of Chief Justice J. J. Dawson serving to remove the staunch friend and the greatest champion in that country of the cause of the U. N. L. A.
But a few months ago Mr. T. J. R. Paulinek of the United States, shortly after his arrival in Liberia, transported the machinery from Cape Palmins to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. On August 12 he took over another shipment; one more shipment remaining to complete the transport of the whole. Then the eyes of the Liberian people were opened.
We learn that that an attempted sale of the machinery was stopped by Mr. La Rue, American Receiver in Liberia, on the ground that it belonged to an American corporation. Be that as it may, it is a fact that, convinced of the absolute sincerity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the people of Liberia, represented by the most prominent citizens of Monrovia, 1946 the Government to task for its 1924 rebukt to the U. N. I. A. and President King and his Cabinet, were forced to explain.
Pressure by France and England
The people were told that the Liberian Government was forced to treat the vanguard of the Universal

France and England, it appears, had intimated to Liberia that receiving "Garvey's experts" would amount to an act of aggression, and, with what France and England, holding territory on either side of the little republic, and the former already making encroachments under every apостolic pretext, to defy, the big value would be to court destruction.

Harvey Firestone wants the Liberian government to accept a "loan" of two millions, white workers, to be introduced must be venerated, and if and when they commit offenses they must not be tried in Liberian courts. And so there is a depressing condition. The people, now fully awakened, are determined that they will have none of exploitation and, in the meantime, Liberia cries out for capital. What will be the result? The answer, perhaps, may be supplied by the 1927 general elections.

SEATTLE, Oct. 1 (A. P.):—Arnold T. Nichols, director general of the Atlantic City beauty pageant for four years, set forth his views of women here last night.
"The old saying of 'beautiful but dumb' is true," he said. "You can quote me to that effect if you wish. Most of the pretty girl I have met have heads as empty as their faces are beautiful."
Nichols predicted "the sweet, modest girl of old is coming back."

U. N. I. A. MEMBERSHIP URGED TO ACCEPT CHALLENGE OF THE FUTURE IN INSPIRING ADDRESS BY DR. PETERS
Sir William Sherrill Explains Situation About the Booker T. Washington
SIR LEVI LORD AND LADY HENRIETTA DAVIS GIVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND CHEER— ABIDING FAITH OF MEMBERSHIP RELIED ON
LIBERTY HALL, New York City, Sunday night. October 12. Liberty Hall was packed to the doors on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Enthusiasm ran high as a plethora of speakers addressed the vast audience with words of encouragement and good cheer; counsel and warning. Mr. G. A. Weston, Vice-President of the Local, occupied the chair, while seated on the platform were Sir William Sherrill, Setting President-General of the U. N. A. and Mrs. Sherrill; Sir Levi Lord, Auditor-General; Dr. J. J. Peters, Mr. W. McD. Holder, a Vice-President of the Local, and a number of visitors and friends.
Sir William Sherrill, explaining the situation in regard to the Booker T. Washington, warned his hearers not to be misled by wicked rumors that the ship had been sold. A contract had been entered into with a charter party for two years for the sum of $160,000, payments to be made monthly, the first payment to be made fifteen days after delivery of the ship. He hoped to make delivery in a week's time.
Inspiring addresses were delivered by Dr. J. J. Peters, Lady Dervietta Vinton Davis, Sir Levi Lord and Mr. W. McD. Holder.
Following is a report of the speeches:
Lady Henrietta Vinjon Davis was the first speaker. She said: "I am pleased to greet you tonight, and I brought to speak to you on the subject, "An Abiding Faith." Your presence here tonight in such large numbers shows that you have an abiding faith—a faith in the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as founded by the master mind, Marcus Garvey. St. Paul, one of the greatest apostles, and an abiding faith, greater possibly than any of the other apostles because he was imprisoned, and he said, "I am a prisoner for Christ," as Marcus Garvey is a prisoner for the Negroes of the world. But Marcus Garvey, although in prison, has an abiding faith in the ultimate success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we must have an abiding faith equal to that of our great leader, if we are to carry on the work that God Himself has given us that our race shall be free, and free indeed.
The Morocco Shame
We who scan the papers very closely examine regarding the news from Morocco, feel that the news we are receiving now is very greatly censored, because we read that Abdul-Krim has fled to the hills, that the Spaniards and the French are in pursuit of him, that they have taken his capital, that he has no more than 1,000 followers. But they mean to give forth to the world that Northern Africa is still in the grasp of the white man and that they mean to hold North Africa as well as East Africa, West Africa and South Africa. But we who have an abiding faith in the ultimate result, both in America as well as elsewhere and in Africa believe that Africa shall be free, and free indeed, free through the efforts of her sons and daughters, free through the valor not only of the native African but of the African in the Western hemisphere.

During the past three or four months we have been receiving hundreds of letters of inquiry from persons in this country and various parts of the world who are desirous of becoming Parent Body members. These letters come chiefly from travelers and persons who live in small communities where there is no branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
For the information of such persons we publish hereunder full instructions on how to become a member. It must be distinctly understood that in communities where there is an established branch of the association, application for membership should be made to such branch.

And as these little boys so beautifully showed forth the principles of this great organization, as they pleaded for unity, so I am pleading that we should stand faithfully by the films and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Appearance) —
We did not start this organization for a day, for an hour, for a minute, but we started it for a lifetime. And we who have dedicated ourselves and our services to this great cause have an abiding faith that means to stand for ever by the Red, Black and Green. (Appeause)
DR. J. J. PETERS SPEAKS
Dr. J. J. Peters followed. He said: I want to congratulate you on this splendid audience. As Miss Davis has said, it shows that after all we have an abiding faith. Your coming together in such large numbers does not represent anything more or less in my judgment than your determination to stick through thick and thin. And I believe we should be congratulated upon the fact that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world are the only group which seems to stick, regardless of differences of opinion. We know that we must give every man his share, and I feel your coming together and holding fast and carrying out the work is something of precious value.
I shall say a few words to you on "The Challenge of the Future". By the "challenge" I mean the accounting of ourselves in this world, what we have done. By "The Future" I mean our posterity, those who are going to ask us after a while. "What have you done?" We hear the cry of the darker voice of the world today; we hear it in no uncertain terms; that they are determined to free themselves with the assistance of whatever force or courage or spiritual guidance that might be co-existing, and that they are do-

termed to do this, regardless of what others may say.
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been for many years carrying out this great program under many adverse conditions, in the face of threats from people who ought to be, in my opinion, far more zealously inclined to carry on the work. What does it mean after all for the Africans to be saying we ought to free ourselves? What does it mean for the Chinese and the Syrians to say they want freedom? Imperialistic France seems to forget that she owes America four billions. She seems to forget it is a just debt and must be paid. She is spending millions daily in order to crush and keep in everlasting submission those people in North Africa. I hope that American spirit will be so manifested that France will be forced to pay or be called to account. If she has money to waste in Africa, if she has money to fight and keep the Africans in subjection, she ought to have enough money an decency to pay America the four billions she owes (Loud applause).
Religious War, May Come
We feel tonight that this challenge of the future is directed by the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I believe we have the first claims on that idea. We were the first to usher the cry of African redemption, and because of this our brothers across the pond are taking up the cry and they are going forth and working that something be done. I don't believe the people of Africa want to make this a religious war, but, after all, all is fair in war. And if it becomes necessary for Krim and his brother and brother-in-law to summon All穆斯 to gather, to say to Islam, this is a religious struggle, then I believe France, England, Portugal, Spain and the rest will be doomed in Africa for ever. And I hope this will happen very soon.
This challenge of the future is something we should take very seriously, and it behoves us to give wholehearted support, both morally and financially, to the program, which we have and which is splendid solution of the problem.
Speaking to the Negro
President Coolidge delivered a very splendid address the other day. I don't want to be sellish, but the only time I feel that any great public man is referring to the Negro when he makes speech is when he calls the Negro by name. I do not believe the reference to racial biography and religious intolerance quite reached us. They must say stop hating the Negro. When that is said in plain language, I understand it. And when that is done I am disposed to take off my hat and say it was a great speech. (Heart, hear)
They must speak to us in common terms. We want justice equally as others, but, in my opinion, we shall never share the benefits of justice until we have force behind us. And by force I do not necessarily mean physical force I rather mean spiritual and economic force. The supremacy idea, moreover, is only mythology, and can be destroyed overnight if we change the mind of the Negro. After we have changed the mind of the Negro and instilled the black psychology instead, the myth of white supremacy will be destroyed.
It is not prestige that white men are after in North Africa. It is the goal the copper, the iron, the gyry, the malacology, that Europeanes are after in Africa. This talk of white supremacy is only camouflage behind the economic assault which they are determined to press to the extreme. So my friends, the challenge of the future is clear before us. What are we going to do for posterity? Must they come into the world and face the same terrible conditions, the same difficulties you and I have suffered, or shall we make them a place as an equal and independent race among the races and nations of the world? Are we going to hold back now and say, "Let us take it to the Lord in prayer," because after a while He will right matters. This is no time to talk of drunk. I have heard, many say, "I am prepared to die for the cause; for a free and redeemed Africa." We must change all that, and desire to live for the cause.
You can't, do much good, anyhow.
So let us live an work unitedly so that the program can be put over.
Message From Mr. Garvey
I want to say in conclusion I bring you greetings from the Hon. Marcus Garvey whom I have just visited at Atlanta. He sends his host love for you.
I want to say he has implicit faith in the leadership of the New York Division; he has abiding faith in the membership. His message was, "Will they watch with me a little while, while I suffer?" That is the great question: that is the message I have, brought back. But you cannot watch with him unless you watch with those who have immediate control of you. Watch with

your leaders, then Marcus Garvey will be satisfied, and all will be well. (Ap- plause).
MR. W. MeD. HOLDER SPEAKS
Mr. W. McD. Holder was the next speaker. He delivered a well reasoned address on what are Negroes thinking and how are they thinking. He recalled great men of other races who were not afraid to tell the truth and pointed that Marcus Garvey, the greatest Negro leader, was now suffering because he was not afraid to tell Negroes the truth.
SIR LEVI LORD SPEAKS
Sir Levt Lord, auditor-general, was the next speaker. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he stressed, was bigger than any individual, bigger than any set of individuals. It held a permanent place in the affairs of the Negro, and nothing could stay its onward march. He was glad to note that Dr. Du Bots had undergone a change of heart. He remembered in 1920 Dr. Du Bots declarin he had lost nothing in Africa. But recently in an address to Negro business men he said If Negroes desired to invest their money to advantage, there was no field more productive than the field of Africa. That was a striking change from 1920. And so the Universal Negro Improvement Association would go fashioning the thoughts of men until the goal was gained.
SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL TELLS
ABOUT THE SHIP
Sh William Silberman acting president-general, was the last speaker. He explained in detail the position of the ship, the Booker T. Washington. As had been seen in the papers, negotiations had been concluded for a charter party, the charterers to pay $150,000 in monthly instalments over a period of two years. The first amount was to be paid in fifteen days after the ship is delivered. Up to the present the boat had not been delivered, however, because the contract called for the meeting of certain requirements, as to putting on and taking off certain things in order, that the charterers may be able to carry the cargo they desired. At the last moment additional libels were placed on the ship by four more members of the crew. This was not serious, however, and would be tiled over. But the fact remained that the ship could not be delivered until money was forthcoming to satisfy the libels and do what was required. Arrangements have been made to secure the necessary funds, and confident that the $500 required would be obtained he felt that they would be able to make delivery in a weeks time. It was the duty of every person interested in the ship to do his and her bit immediately to make sure that delivery of the ship to the charter party be made shortly. He warned his hearers not to be pushed by rumors, that the ship was sold and detailed several rules adopted by the enemy to discourage the charterers from going through with the contract.

Pointed Toe and High Heel To Stay Despite Reason
BERLIN.—The pointed toe and high heel have come to stay, thinks Prof. Gocht of the Orthopedic Institute of the Berlin University. Asked for his opinion on the influence of footwear on questions of hygiene, Prof. Gocht said that as most people will continue to drink, eat and smoke, in fact do everything they know to be injurious, so they will persist in following the precepts of fashion in the matter of shoes, contrary to all sense of reason. Not until health and feet have been seriously damaged, he said, will human nature finally resort to a more sensible kind of footwear.

contrain one sort of screen against bombs, all would be well. Bombs have been frequent and furious during my stay in the Riff, country;
Still, the European aviation experts cannot be said to be distinguished themselves, judging by the results of the last few days.
A whole cadrille of seven planes from the French zone bombed the holy city of Sheshan for two hours on Sunday and two hours Monday. The resultant casualties were only two people killed and one wounded. Both of the dead were non-combatants one woman and a Jew.
The combined French and Spanish flees bombed Wadhan and Tuzas Saturday. Total casualties were four killed.
A furious bombardment of Adjur on Friday resulted in only three deaths—two of the fatalities being Spanish prisoners.
It is small wonder that in spite of the gathering dangers of this war against treemouth odds, the Ruff tribemen are still confident. Events seem to prove that they are right—that European military methods are of relatively small avail here in the "Mountains of Allah."
From Reading "Spanish communiques and listening to Spanish generals talk one might suppose that a Spanish alpine never stopped a bomb without killing at least so Arabs. The truth about aerial bombing in the Riff mountains is so brittlely far from the official fiction that along the Spanish front the raids at times have become nothing more than a way of telling time, misnarras as they always occur at exactly the same hour of the day.
These mountains of the Riff are more suitable for song and poetry than for military accomplishment, great crumson clips, their incredibly against a sky of sacred blue, gorge magnification and terrifying, great valleys at peace between protecting prophecies. They are at times reminiscent of Colorado. At other times they remind you of nothing else on earth. Their deep burning red is unique, although a mining engineer would explain it promptly in terms of rich deposits of iron ore.
French Opposed-Successfully
The tremendous forces which France has poured into the Riff war during the past few weeks are being successfully opposed by a more harmful of Abdel-Krams's followers, according to the information which I received today from Self Mohammad, commander-in-chief of the Riff army.
France, he said, has now roughly 200,000 men on the southern front and Abdel-Krimeh has been so little disturbed by their activity that he has used against them only 500 Kiffans supported by a considerable number of Arab tribesmen, the total force numbering fewer than 1,000.

During the recent fighting, general orders were issued to the troops to take as much booty as possible and to strive, for many prisoners, "Fire hundred pesetas was offered for every cannon captured and 100 pesetas for each prisoner. Among the Rifflin prisoners taken were two onchain gunners who had remained with their weapons until every cartridge was fired. They were recognized as deserters from the Foreign Legion and summarily executed.
Dressing stations, well fitted out, have been found behind the Rifflin lines, sheltered in cages and cavities. Sanitary material was found, at the stations in great abundance, and from the evidence of modern methods which was discovered Spanish medical officers are of the belief that European surgeons are in attendance.
Wells Visioning Great Nations of the Future, Leaves Out Africa
LONDON, Oct. 11, H. G. Wells, the novelist, apologized for Great Britain in speech to Chinese students here Saturday night at a dinner in honor of the fourteenth anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese Republic.
"It is almost my duty, in view of what has happened during the last year, to utter an apology for the attitude of my country toward the applications of China," he said. "I'm sure I am speaking for a majority of my countrymen when I say I am ashamed for what has happened in China."
He predicted that in 100 years there will not be numerous nations, but only three great masses of people—the United States of America, the United States of Europe, and China.
French Communists to Strike for Riffans
PARIS, Sept. 29.—The communist party of France has decided to call a twenty-four-hour general strike a protest against the Moroccan war. The date of the strike was not announced, in order not to give the police time to prepare "repressive measures." It is known that the French police have at least one operative as a member of every executive committee of the communist party.

SEPARATE CAR RULES IN SOUTH AFRICA ALSO
The English masters of South Africa have introduced a separation of the races in travel not unlike that which prevails in the United States, and which is as much a violation of British and American principles of citizenship, and law of contract in the United States as in British Africa. Public service corporations derive their franchises from the State and their public benefits are always common and should so be shared by all of the people in a given situation without prejudice to the feelings or violation of the law of contract. "Separate but equal accommodation," provided for in our Southern States is never given and hardly ever will be, and we doubt if it will ever be in British Africa. Our esteemed contemporary, The African World, talking about the separate car rules in South Africa, says:
We have from time to time, O Africans, tried to imprint into your conscious self the Garvey ideal that the white man is a human and as such he is not infallible.
He must protect himself; he must build himself up; he uses all the available mental resources at his disposal and at his command towards the upkeep of this superstructure. The white man has sacrificed a great deal to achieve commercially and all told, what he has.
These tram-cars are his own creations, the trains, the automobiles and quite many modern conveniences. He has the right to tell you point blank, the black man, that he, Mr. Black, should keep in his corner when he is traveling on the trains of the white man. The black man must be thankful for this little privilege.
The Garvey ideal that white men are also human will hold good, however, and wherever twisted into service and insisted upon. They can and should be made to understand and respect the fact when they undertake to make it appear that they are "gods," and former Premier Jans Christian Smuts says the Africans are fast learning that they are not. The sooner all Africans learn the fact, the better for all concerned. But The African-World is all wrong when it admits that the white masters of South Africa have a right to build and manage railways for their exclusive use and to make such regulations as pleases them in the rules governing the operations of the service. Why? Because such railways are public service corporations, owned or licensed by the State, and derive their powers to be and to serve from all of the people whom they expect to serve. The rights of minorities and "the stranger within the gates," are just as sacred and binding in matters of government and public service as those of majorities and the privileged in citizenship. We give away the case in law and equity when we concede the contrary of this statement of the case anywhere.
The African World was considering a case of a "Colored Man," reported in The Cape Argus, who was fined by the court because he refused to leave a railway compartment when ordered to do so. He good on his rights as a traveler and a minority citizen. The insolent and aggressive judge told the traveler the following Nordic bundles:
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925
In order to have the remnant of this race, which has been allowed to suffer from neglect, the agitation for authoritative, systematic action has been revived. Interest in the Australian Aborigine has, indeed, become international. Dr. Hordicke, curator of the section of physical anthropology of the Smithsonian institution, Washington, is studying the primal habitations of man, in Australia, and more particularly his skeletal romania. But the immediate objective urged upon the various governments is to keep intact what there is left of this race, not only for its scientific importance, but as a moral obligation.
Many well intentioned schemes have been devised to give the natives what may be regarded as a fair deal, but the public conscience on the question remains, more or less, sommelier. The sympathy of the authorities has been sincere enough, but fitful and indefinite, while the attitude of politicians has been one-digit absolute indifference.
In South Australia, there is a movement for the creation of a separate State in the northern portion of the continent, to be called the Australian Black State, Australian Zion State, or any more appropriate native, the citizenship in which is to be restricted to natives who are full blooded blacks, half castes, quadroons or octoons. It will be necessary to approach the Federal Government, in whose territory the reserve will have to be established, but some time will be occupied in organizing the scheme, which has many difficulties, but a competent committee has the matter in hand and there is every indication that a most valuable lead may be given to Australian policy.
For a long time opinions have differed on the point whether there should be a large reservation, or a series of small stations. The advice of experienced travelers, who have come into close contact with the great black tribes of Central Australia appears to be now definitely in the direction of having an extensive area. The aborigines are wanderers and hunters, and to cramp those activities in any way must be to their physical detriment. Capt White, who has lived alone with the tribes in the Everward Ranges, formed the view that complete separation is the only fair and proper way to save the blacks, and more than once Dr. Herbert Bagedow, formerly federal director of aborigines in the Northern Territory, has referred to "the deplorable neglect" of the government to provide adequate medical protection.
But, whatever is done, some sort of official supervision, disciplinary, without being obtrusive, will probably be found necessary. "We must remember," remarks a long journever in the interior, "that we are doiling with a very primitive people, and that it would take two or three generations to develop in them a sense of civic responsibility."
The clash of color is a serious, repulsive and pitiless phase of the problem of the blacks, for the rate of increase in the half castle population has become alarming. At Alice Springs, where the problem is acute, there is a special organization to reclaim the girls, but the evil is apparent throughout the interior. According to the secretary of the Aborigines Friends' Association, the mingling of the races has bequeathed to posterity a legacy which, unless carefully handled, may prove a grave physical and moral menace to the community.
LONDON, Oct. 3—An urgent request for more policemen in order to cope with London's increasing criminal fraternity is the outstanding fact gleaned from the annual report of Sir William Harwood. London's chief of police.
Stating that the registered criminals now number 779,000, Harwood points out that of 18,514 uniformed members of London's police force only 9,190 are available for patrol duties after traffic duties and other functions have both provided for.

AMERICAN MELTING POT AND NORDIC MYTH
PROFESSOR MAURICE R-DAVIE of Yale University, noted sociologist, according to the New York World special correspondent, believes that "The Nordic theory of superiority, upon which the present immigration law is based, is a myth." "Again," says Professor Davie, "belief in the biological superiority of the native American who is taken to be Nordic and the inferiority of all others seems to me to have been one of the chief reasons for the support given the quota law." Professor Davie has made an exhaustive investigation of the American immigration problem. He finds that the American nelting not has not accomplished its perfect work, as the process of assimilation of the ethnic mass of aliens has not come up to expectation. The digestive machinery has been overtaxed. It ought to have finite to catch up with the slow processes of digestion. He makes the following extraordinary statement to prove his contention:
Experience in the recent war brought home the fact that we had not proceeded very far in the matter of assimilation; indeed, it forced us to realize that we had neglected to make any real effort along that line. First of all there was the language difficulty. In one camp alone it was necessary to employ interpreters of forty different languages. In New York City today any official communication that is to reach all the people must be printed in twenty-two different languages.
Of the 14,000,000 persons of foreign birth in this country about 5,000,000 cannot read, write, or speak the English language. Over half of the foreign-born white males of voting age are not citizens. In addition there are thousands of foreign societies, hundreds of foreign-language newspapers, and other evidence of a similar nature that the melting-pot has not been effectively at work. It is but fair to assume that some restriction of measure—there are over thirty counts on any one of which an alien may be debarred. No objection has ever been raised against this type of legislation. Every nation in its own interest must keep out defective and undesirable individuals.
The Nordic myth does not stand much show by this statement of the case. A wag has estimated that we have 57 varieties of peoples and languages in New York alone and that the process of molding them into one people and one language is one of the biggest jobs any nation ever had on its hands. We say that it is.
Yes; we believe in America for Americans. But who are Americans? Saith the Constitution, "All persons born or naturalized are citizens of the United States and of the States in which they reside." And there are some 57 varieties and languages of them to be counted. Can these 57 varieties be merged into one people, speaking the same language and hurrahing for the same flag? That it is which is confusing the wise men and causing much wagging of the tongues and shaking of the heads. And it is not the Negro's funeral. He did not make the conditions. He can only make the most and not the least of the conditions as he finds them, looking and laboring always for Africa for the Africans, as the Jews look and labor for a redeemed and repatriated Palestine.
When the white man, for his selfish advantage and gain, captured and purchased the African in Africa and brought him to the West Indies and the Americas and enslaved him and degraded him in his manhood and womanhood, he heaped up wrath against the day of judgment which he is noisy fighting and howling about, but from which he cannot get away.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
The sooner the white man learns that he cannot circumvent the opportunities and usefulness of the Negro, without circumscribing and limiting the opportunities and usefulness of himself; the better it will be for all concerned. He must learn that he cannot hinder the educational, economic and political growth and development of the Negro without hindering his own; that he cannot keep the Negro in the ditch without staying in the ditch with the Negro, or in other words, that any and all of his efforts directed against the betterment of the Negro simply innout to be a boomerang which returns and strikes his own interest—Atlanta Independent. The leaders among our people should feel a keen sense of responsibility because of the manner in which the people confide in them. As a rule whatever they say to the people is accepted at face value without demurrier and oftimes without debate. Being the recipient of such abundant confidence, every utterance should be welged cautiously; every admonition should be wise; every condition should be dealt with in a sane, conservative, Christian spirit—Nashville Clarion.
their own brother in the development of their resources, will not saddle themselves with the advances of American financiers which would pitilately hand them in the same position as Heytl. It goes without saying that every black man has an interest in these purely African States—Gold Coast Leader, One of the "troubles" with the race to today is "crubs." Too many men who are influential will "rule or ruin." If they can't be the "whole show," there will be no show, no matter what the cost, to the people. Too many shallow brains, little hearted "leaders," want "to be consulted," else there is "nothing done." Too many want to head off some one from promotion. Let us get rid of the "crab leaders."—Dayton Forum.
Our educators seem to be following the line of least resistance: producing encyclopaedic minds—minds possessing a multitude of facts and theories and a kind interpretation, instead of training pupils to interpret present conditions and creating in them a desire to act for the common weal. They are therefore sending forth minds lacking, in initiative and thus collecting, rather than dispersing, the intellectual and financial, and political clouds of depression which darken our tomorrow—Washington Tribune.
Lynching has been tried for years. It has signally failed. America, disgraced too long by it, ought to rise up in indignation, in righteous wrath, in the might of her manhood, in her honor and for her good name on the earth: and, for the sake of humanity and the glory of God, and put an end at once and forever to the barbarous practices of Lynching—Louisville Leader.
But to most questions there are two sides and he is unreasonably hasty who passes judgment before hearing both sides. Also the one who holds divergent views should be tolerant of the views of others and not assume that he; and he only, is absolutely right. There are two sides always—Star of Zion.
If the Negro thinks that he can get any special advantage by toadying these days he is easily mistaken; yet there are a great many of our race group who bow and scrape to those whom they approach, with a view that it is necessary to stoop to get by. The person who lacks the manhood to be a man on all occasions, and who has acquired the habit of "heading the knee that thrift might follow fawning," is unable as any time to develop the true traits of upright manliness—Newport News Star.

The Black Remnant
And the Half Castes -
Of Australasia
(From the New York Sun)
ADELAIDE—White Australia has its
color problem—in fact, two. One is the
preservation of the fast disappearing
remnant of the Aborigines, and the
other how-to combat the mixing
black, and white. Both arise from the
penetration of whites into the interior,
where they meet a primitive race—
"the Stone Age people of Europe, who
have become marooned in that country"
—as Prof. Darryn Naylor of the
Adelaide University puts it.
There are, it is estimated, 70,000 natives in Australia. Though there is an increase of their numbers on the mission stations, generally, owing to contact, with the white people, the pure element among the Aborigines is dwindling rapidly to extinction. The black in hisAMPLE environment, is a fine fellow—exemplary in his domestic code and an adventurous and skilful hunter. But he must have adequate roaming ground if he is to retain his characteristics. Once there is any interference with the free play of instincts and habits deterioration sets in.
Seven months have relied by since the Hon. Marous Garvey went to Atlanta penitentiary. Seven months of pain and longing for the millions who love and siteem him. Seven months of acid test for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Seven hectic months. Seven monotonous months. Seven epochal
The world watched, as the doors of the prison closed behind Mercus Garvey lost February, to see what effect his imprisonment would have on the wonderful organization this great man had reared. Would the sheep be scattered when the shepherd was fallen away? Would confusion and discord enter in to disipate the fruits of seven years of unremitting toll? Would the lessons received at the feet of the greatest Negro teacher of modern times be forgotten? Would there be those who would grasp at the shadow and lose the substance.
Garvey went, and the voices of the critics, chiefly within the race, became more strident. Historians sprang up like mushrooms. One fellow itemized what Garvey ate in 1920, spiking his record with all the noxious scandal ever breathed in struggling Negro journals, with even less foresight than circulation, tried to apprise the country of their existence by poking fun at Garvey on the front page. Every mail for a full month brought to U. N. I. A. headquarters applications for administrative posts by men who in a brief foretight could correct all Garvey's "blunders" and redeem black Africa overnight by erecting magic skyscrapers where white America will let them. And the clever Nordic, God's messenger to man, hugging to his breast his silvery superiority idea, stood quietly by waiting for his opportunity to administer the coup de grace under cover of confusion.
But the people stood firm and parried every thrust. The critics soon ceased their chitter. Some from bellitling, turned to praise. Du Bois became a cautious convert. Slowly but surely Negro journalists began to confess the good that lay in Garvey and his work. The Universal Negro Improvement Association weathered every gale. Garvey, spirit unbroken, his every thought for the preservation, of the thing he created and loved, did mental work in a Southern prison and smiled a smile that puzzled his jailors. And then—
The enemy, disappointed but not despairing, started a subtle sally. Came a white man upon the scene pointing out to Negroes, as a matter of duty, of course, that Garvey should not from prison he allowed to meddle with the U. N. L. A. Consult a convict! Never! Why, he has no status in the eyes of the law! Praise him, if you must, pity him, but ignore him. So it went. After seven years of Garveyism, there comes a tenacious white man essaying to tell Negroes who should be their leader! The thing is childish.
Garvey is the leader, the chosen leader of his people, and he will remain so prison sentences, legal opinions and musty claptrap notwithstanding. And those who administer the affairs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will continue to consult him and continue to receive inspiration from him. That is the will of the people. And the voice of the people, I have heard it said, is the voice of God.
Seven months have passed, and Garvey remains locked away from the race. But there is still communion between Garvey and his hosts. You can cage the man, but not the spirit.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not an oil corporation or a brokerage concern. It is neither a church nor a Sunday school. It is a spiritual movement, a militant movement, world-wide in its scope, seeking to fashion the spirit of the Negro of this age to the end that he may regain his self-respect and win a full measure of independence. Garvey is the living embodiment of the restless urge of the awakened Negro for a place in the sun. And Garvey's is an abiding place in the race's councils.
Two months ago a Negro was found hanging from a tree in Central Park, New York City. They cut him down and buried him. Last Thursday, on Lexington avenue, New York City, a white mob laid hands on a young Negro, accused of striking a white girl in a hallway. They kicked and cruelly beat him and would have lynched him but for the timely intervention of the police. If a white man wants to wreak vengeance on his white neighbors, or get a high price for his property, all he has to do is to hang this sign on his door: "Rooms for rent. Colored people only," as was done recently in Beekman place, New York city. Is the civilized, tolerant, democratic citizenry of New York, after all, many miles closer to God than the Mississippi "cracker," or

Kenya in East Africa Said to Be Model
While many governments, like spendthrifts, live beyond their means, Kenya Colony, the British East African dependency, keeps within its income. Revenue exceeded expenditures last year by $1,250,000 and the floating debt has been converted into a surplus of $295,000. After providing for $500,000 expenses for future improvements, the acting governor, E. B. Denhani, told the Legislative Council at Nairobi that the surplus will reach $522,000 by the end of 1925. During the first six months of this year the customs revenue showed an excess of $171,500 the estimates.
Kenya's increased trade brings heavier charges. Facilities of the ports are severely congested, harbor tonnage has increased more than 40 per cent in a year, lake traffic 82 per cent and cottonseed receipts 72 per cent. Kisumu, on Victoria Nyanza, and Killindul harbor, on Membasa Island, its ocean terminus, can securely handle the goods. The railway takes practically all the sea borne traffic of Uganda as well as 88 of Kenya. The government is planning rather late to build more deep water piers.
The colony is actually suffering from too great prosperity. Like New York City, it has grown too fast for its facilities. Farming returns almost dank harvests with restricted markets. The coffee crop is valued at $3,000,000, corn is flourishing and wheat promises to supply Kenya and the neighboring territories with all the local flour needed for their bread. Dairying is extending and soon will not only meet home demands but have an exportable surplus. The outlook is very invariable for this model British colony.
Business Church
Dedicated at Rochester
ROCHESTER. N. Y., Sept. 28. Three thousand persons attended the two dedication services yesterday for the new Baptist Temple here, Rochester's first "business church," a combined church, office and store building, fourteen stories high. More than $00 persons were turned away because the new auditorium could not accommodate them.
The new $3,000,000 structure "in the heart of Rochester" has been built, the minister, the Rpv. Clinton Wunder, declared in the dedicatory address, by hosts: the hundreds who compose the church's congregation, those who planned and designed the new structure and the thousands who have made the Christian religion what it is today.
- Secrets of city institutions. Baptist officials, former ministers of the church, its missionaries, representatives of other Protestant churches paid their tribute to the new monument of religion, either orally at the two services or through telegrams and written communications which were read.

Uniforms to Curb Snobbishness in Schools
CHICAGO; Oct. 7.-Dr. William Mc. Andrew, impartient of the Chicago public schools, is urging that teachers be required to wear a sample, neat uniform, similar to the ordinary smuck worn by painter.
The idea appears to have met the approval of everybody except Miss Margaret Baby, of the Teachers' Federation. A secret vote of the teachers showed a large majority in favor of the McAndrews plan. Teachers now punch the time clock and are paid for the time they are on duty.
Interviews with many parents and the teachers themselves show that the proposed wearing of uniforms meets with general favor. Some of the teachers and school board officials already are wearing snacks. Out of this has grown the suggestion, also meeting with general approval, of attiring the pupils in inexpensive school uniforms. This, it is averred, would eliminate the difference, so far as clothing is concerned, between the children of wealthy and of poor parents and each snobishness.

HEALTH TOPICS
EPILEPSY (Continued)
Once at a dinner party one of the guests suddenly stopped talking, dropped his fork and became pale, staring toward the door with the utmost fixity. Everyone turned to see what it was: that had so disturbed the man and not one but felt the goose flesh creeping over his own skin. But there was no apparition at the doorway, no horrible sight, no ghost, no angry intruder! They turned back to the man and found that he had recovered his police and had resumed eating as though; nothing had happened. Being well bird, the conversation went on as though there had been, no peculiar occurrence. They did not know that they had witnessed one form of epilepsy.
"Falling sickness" is in reality a minor attack of epilepsy, a "jettit mail" attack. In this form the patient may suddenly feel his legs give out from under him and he falls down immediately to rise again feeling all right. There was no dizziness or loss of consciousness. In other mild forms there may be only a convulsive modality of the head and this has been called the "squam spasm."
Such attacks are distressing to the victim of them because they may occur when it might be dangerous (especially the falling attack) or when they produce amusement on the part of the surprised spectator. It is not amusing to the patient.
Sometimes the victim of "pettit mail" of epilepsy may have a warning of the attack called an "aura." Dizziness, a sense of fear, numbness, flashes of light, or blindness, choking sensations, may warn the person that an attack is about to commence. There may be a cry or a convulsive movement such as running, a few steps or turning around without reason for so doing. Some patients have described their warning-symptoms as being like a breeze blowing on their arms or legs and moving up toward their heads. Others complain of a queer sensation "in the pit of the stomach." Occasionally an epileptic may declare that the attack is preceded by the sound of voices and noises, strange tastes and smells.

WEEKLY SERMON
Text: Job: 14:7. "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease."
Subject—Greater Life Through Death
In the death of the tree, its life is not extant. For in the very act of cutting it down we build the hope of its sprouting knew. So it is with man, when he is crucified for a just cause. The very death beings renewed hope for a fuller life. Death is only a transition; and when we desire new life, we pass through the gateway of death. This death may be physical, mental or spiritual. Whether it is either the transition or process is some.
In the cutting of the tree the hope rests in the sprouting of the tender branch, which will not cease. Care and rightful influence will affect the life of the branch. In like manner the proper nurture and grace will develop the life of a young Christian. Growth of this tender branch is also dependent upon its ability to receive the proper nourishment, essential to its culture. In like manner, persons inclined to do right must be enronned with the best which is conducive to the highest ideals.
As these spiritual branches grow and flourish with new life, so grows the many branches of the J. N. L. A., especially when the true spirit of the movement is manifest.
Let us be ever encouraged to do our best, knowing that God is on the side of right, and when we are hewn down by the heels of oppression, remember in the recesses of the bruised and battered stump, there is life and light, which will be forthcoming at the right time.
Hope dieh not with us who are fixed in our righteous purpose. We know that hope will be realized some time, somewhere, for life is a continuity, and that which we fail to achieve here will be carried on to fruition even when we may be transplanted in another realm.
Hope on, for in hoping we press toward the goal. Hope on, for we shall flourish and not wither, but gather life and impetus for the tanks ahead. Hope on till all Africa shall know of branches here and there, gathering strength for a glorious home-tree, which shall flourish in the vardant soil of our mother-land.

CRISIS IMPENDS AS RENT LAW VOIDS FEB.15
Tenants Will Have No Protection Unless Legislature Acts—Fear of Wholesale Evictions Felt—Remedy to Be Discussed
From the New York World. The emergency rent laws which have protected millions of rent payers in New York for five years will expire on Feb. 15, 1928, unless extended, by the State Lighthouse. They were passed because of the housing shortage which followed the war.
A bitter struggle at Albany is in prospect over the question of their extension. A series of hearings on the situation will be begun by the State Commission of Housing and Regional Planning at the City Hall on Nov. 9. Has the housing emergency ended? Is there a new emergency? These questions will be answered in a series of seven articles of which this is the first.
The housing emergency of the turbulent days that followed the World War has passed. Apprehension that but for the rent laws men and women of New York might be sleeping in armories an events no longer is felt. But unless the Legislature which convenes in January substitutes some form of protection in their place a serious situation will arise when the existing statutes are allowed to lapse. Such is the conclusion that must follow a study of the housing problem today, whether that problem is approached from the point of view of the landlord or the tenant, of the economist or the sociologist. Here are some of the highlights in a situation that concerns directly or indirectly all the 6,000,000 inhabitants of New York: 1. The existing rent laws expire on Feb. 15, 1925, and after that day the tenant will have no protection in law from possible profiteering landlords.
VACANCES APPROACH NORMAL
2. Due to enormous building, during the last five years, of apartments and other dwellings, vacancies in all classes of apartments and tenements are very nearly back to the pre-war level.
3. But rents have gone down very little. The man who pays from $400 to $800 still faces today, the same problems of high rentals. The more well-to-do rent payer, with a yearly bill of from $800 up, to almost any figure, is in a better position, due to greater production of expensive apartment houses.
4. The tenant has had protection for five years. Rents now vary widely in single buildings as between the old and new tenant. Grave fear is felt that there will be a general rise if all protection is removed.
5. Such was the case in Washington, D. C., where the courts declared over a year ago that the emergency under which the rent laws were enforced no longer existed.
6. Bitter equity now exists between the landlord and the tenant. Many landlords are waiting impatiently for the day when they can again evict on live days' notice.
7. The rent laws have brought many injustices to the landlord, and now he is demanding that the law of supply and demand be allowed to function.
Battle Scheduled in January.
These are some of the factors that will be considered in the next battle in the long war between the landlord and the tenant. It will be fought on Capitol Hill in Albany next January. The rent laws being due to expire on Feb. 15, the tenant will have to explease with his traditional enemy without the armor he has worn for the past five years—unless the Legislature extends the statutes in their present or in amended form.
Already the tenants are organizing to bring about extension. And the landlords are preparing to protest in unison that the housing emergency of post-war days has ended, that restrictive legislation has worked great injustice upon the owner of property and that the rent-payer now seeking a home has countless vacancies to choose from.
The heat of the controversy may well assuage the cold winds of an Albany winter. But the preliminary skirmishes are to be held in New York and the battle lines are being formed. For New York, more than any other place in the State is concerned in the matter of rent legislation, and with
After my attack of Flu I was thin, run-down and weak. I had a sallow completion, my checks were punk in and I was continually troubled with gas on my stomach. I felt stuffy and had lost my appetite.

We of the "civilized" world are on boggy ground, don't you think, when we get loose poison darts at polygamy and sing the virtues of monogamy? It seems to me that I must go to Africa and to the East and study the institution of polygamy on the spot before I can very heartily condemn it. And even if after examination I find much to condemn in polygamy, the not result would be the lunatic asylum for me. For I should certainly go mad trying to invent a synthetic for both polygamy and monogamy.
You see, monogamy, as practiced by us Christians, is not prepossessing, to say the least of it. Only the other day I read in the papers that Princess Galatzine had married for the fifth time. That is, perhaps, polyandry. And a friend of mine has just married for the fourth time. His former wives still live. And the law has O. K.'d him. But perhaps that is not polygamy. Divorce gave him absolution.
The truth is, and I risk my neck to say it, we are all polygamous and polyandrous by nature. (The writer is married, so you need not think too harshly of him.) And who knows but that in the not distant future when every other person in Christian communities has become a divorce court judge and the calendar is still cluttered up we shall jettison monogamy and give polygamy, or polyandry, a trial by statute?
Prince Kojo, nephew of the late King of Dahomey, whom the French banished to the island of Martinique when they desired to ravish his realm, should be able to speak with more authority than I on the subject. You see, he is a product of Africa and chivalrous France. Let the fact that he is doctor of medicine, lawyer, scholar, traveler, lecturer, author and editor weigh with you.
He tells me among other things that, polygamy is a vital necessity for Africa today. The official figures are, he says, 100,000,000 men and women often from their God-given Africa to other countries. Through polygamy the country is being repopulated. Children are adored, and there is great rejoicing when a son is born. "Intellectually, physiologically and morally, monogamy is an artificial institution," he says. "Families in Africa are as strong as in any Christian country."
But Kojo declares he does not like polygamy, his reason being that, if it does not give the woman the respect which is her due and which is necessary, he is strong, however, for polyandry with the woman enthroned, and children all bearing the mother's name. That, for him, is the ideal state, and the state to which modern communism, with the woman nowadays being forced to earn her living, are traveling.
Prince Kojo, as said before, said much more than this. Now put your imagination to work.

Gandhi Advice Women Masses Against Violence
A letter from Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader and apostle of nonviolence, in which he counsels the "mascots of European and American proletariat" against violence in dealing with their great economic and spiritual problems, was read yesterday at a luncheon conference of the Fellowship of Faiths at 123 West Forty-third street.
Gandhi cautions against an attempt to occupy the status that capital does," for this "can be attained only by violence." He thinks it would be better to "revise the viewpoint of capital and strive to attain a juster distribution of the products of labor."
The message was written to Charles Frederick Weller, of the League of Neighbors, and was read by Mrs. Weller. Miss Villa Paulkner Page, of the New Thought Movement, presided at the luncheon, at which gallas were worked out for an open meeting to be held in Grace Church, October 26.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
DETROIT, MICH.
The Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters of New York Division, and wife were the distinguished visitors of Detroit Division on Sunday, October 4. Dr. Peters delivered the principal address of the opening. Liberty Hall was packed. The program was as follows: Many beautiful selections were rendered by theoirs, including E. Johnson; by solo Mrs Mary Massie; "Mark the Voice of Garvey Calling"; the front page of the Negro World was read by the Hon. G. A. Taylor; address by Attorney Milton Van Lowe; Mr. Eddings, a native, African, made a few remarks on how the members of the association should show their loyalty to Mr. Garvey and the U. N. I. A.
The President, Hon. Fred E. Johnson, presented the speaker of the evening, Dr. J. J. Peters. Dr. Potter slated the program, where he had visited the Hon. Marcus Garvey and Mr. Garvey's message was, "Will they watch with me for a little while?" He said in part:
"All members must be clean with the U. N. I. A. or report to God the reason why. The man who persecutes the U. N. I. A. persecutes Marcus Carney. He who loves the U. N. I. A. bus waits to denounce Garvey as a persecutor. He is not a provenance Association denuncier, the U. N. I. A. Q is time for all to be true to the cause as we see daily how we are treated. Lynching has not only been going on in the South, but right here in Detroit. The shooting of white police officers, killing our Negro race whenever they feel like. That is lynching." Dr. Peter's address was very timely and all is answered. Meeting close with the singing of the National Choir, MRS. FRED F. JOHNSON Reporter.
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
Sunday afternoon, Sept. 27, the regular mass meeting of the Oakland Division was opened by singing the "ode" "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." Invocation by Rev. C. Davis followed, after which the song, "God Bless Our President," was sung, and the reading of the 234 Psalm. President Rev. C. Williams arose at this point and made two opening statements, after which he joined the McMahon monies, Mr. A. Jordan. A selection was then rendered by the choir; followed by the introduction of the Juveniles. The program of the Juveniles on this day was somewhat sorrowful, owing to the departure of some of the most active members in their ranks. Master Jorien Johnson's recitation dealt with this particular sadness, in addition to the sufferings of the Honorable Marcos Garvey. As a farewell selection, Miss Mary Clark returned in a Friendly Song of Ways" and "Worry." Miss Ruth Clark recited as her farewell selection one of her favorite poems, "The Red, Black and Green."
Mrs. E. Simma, a local and true Garveyite, whose interest is reflected by her good work, sang two songs that had been revealed to her, namely, "Bring Them Into the U. N. A. A. and" Shine on True Garveyites." Many good and inspiring words were given by this faithful memoir, among which was the revelation of a vision pertaining to the flag and its new name, which would be. New Victory. The choir next sang "God Bless Our President." Mr. Jolimine Young, our loyal and beloved assistant secretary, in order to study and better qualify him for his new organization, has tendered his resignation to this exasperity. Mr. H. Jenkins, the assistant secretary, then read for the benefit of the visitors and members in general, the Preamble, Alms and Objects of the Constitution. That masterful document, "African Fundamentals," was also read by the Assistant Secretary.
The audience was next requested to sing "Where He Leads Me" after which the reading of the president-general's message by Secretary G. E. Inman was heard. An appeal for membership was next made by the President. Broadcasting of current topics, by Mr. A. Jordan, included the following subjects: "The Rifflans in Artefa," "Speech of Gav. Blain," "Secretation in the Lincoln Public School," "French Suppression of Foreign News," "Teaching of the War Spirit by Public School Teachers." These interesting and valuable news, items were followed by a lecture, chaplain of the Legions, General Chaim Levi, National Anthem, "Ethiopia the God of Our Fathers," was sung. A few parting remarks were made by Mrs. J. Clark, Mother of the Juveniles, Mary and Ruth Clark, all ill-except to leave for a stay of 2 or 3 months. "Blessed Be the Tie That Blinds" was sung; then benediction by Rev. C. Davis.
Two splendid programs was run by Pittsburgh Division on Garry Day, Sunday, October 4. The programs equipped all others and were charged with that spirit of determination and蓄势 characteristic of our membership at harve. That the public is deeply interested in Garry Day is in such meetings when these events are under the
colors of the Red, the Black, and the Green; at the close of the programs.
The meeting was opened at 3 p.m. by Mr. Alonso Aloso, Jr., first vice-president, after the professional hymn "God Bless 'Our' President." The chaplain, Mr. Theodore M. Fisher, conducted the usual preliminaries. The speakers were: The Rev. J. D. Barber, Bishop of the Triumph Church; the Hon. S. A. Haynes, our esteemed and beloved President, and Hon. Moree James, 2nd vice-president. Bishop Barber kept the meeting at fever as he told of his visit to the President General in Atlanta. Now that our great leader is enjoying good health and prepared to die if necessary for African Redemption was received with long and prolonged applause by the vast gathering. The president spoke on the philosophy of Marcus Garvey, reading and commenting on passages from the book, "Philosophy and Opinion." The president, who has traveled extensively, was the president of internationalism and selected such topics as Religion, Education, Propaganda, and Poverty. His logic was convincing and unimpeachable. Hon. Moree James lauded the leadership of Marcus Garvey and exhorted the membership to stand by his ideals to the bitter cut.
Besides attractive solutions by the Choir, something of a competition was inspired by the men who came forward as solists. Mr. Levi Brown rendered "When Africa's Eyes Are Smiling," followed by Mr. David-Booth Chormaster, who captivated the audience with "The Rosary." The big surprise of the evening came when our president, unheralded, sang "Who Knows." The president has a beautiful baritone voice.
The meeting at 8 p.m. was an exciting and thrilling that in the afternoon. After the processional hymn, "Africa Awaken," the chaplain conducted religious exercises and turned the program over to the first vice-president, Hon. Alonzo Amos, Jr. The musical items consisted of numbers by the ladies charged with the same competitive spirit as those in the evening, Mrs. Catherine Smith led off with "Love's Old Sweet Song," which was beautifully rendered. Next came Mr. Willey A. C. Dijos with "Arpege in the Ceep." His effort was received with much applause, Mrs. Aurelia Aulson who charmed the audience with the brilliant song, "Complaint That the Rye." She was greeted with rounds of applause, Mrs. Willie Johnson, president of the Chair, capped the sweetness of the evening with "The Last Rose of Summer." Hon. S. A. Hayes spoke on the finding of the League of Nations that economics was at the root of wars. Our energetic first vice-president, Mr. Amos, in an inspiring address, praised the labors of Marcus Garvey and appealed to the members to rally in the call of the hour.
A delightful menu was prepared for the occasion by Mrs. Patrina Hills and Mrs. Carrie Scott, two of our most well-known workers. The receipts of sale were hard and in many months. It was a great pleasure everyone went away enthusiastic. Pittsburgh continues to force ahead under the efficient leadership of President Haynes and his officers.

New York Local Members Visit Yonkers Division
By PHILIP-REID
On Sunday September 25, a party composed of members of the New York Division arrived in Yonkers. None of the party had visited Yonkers before, so we were unfamiliar with the city. Before we could inquire the way to Bethany J. M. Church where the meeting was to be held, we were attracted by the Bedford and Green worn by the royal members of the Yonkers Division. We informed them that we were the visitors from the New York Division. They greeted us with the greatest courtesy and cordiality. Reverend G. W. Walton, pastor of the church, accompanied the delegation.
The meeting opened at 3 p.m. The program was of a religious nature because of its being the Sabbath day. It was a delight to so and to listen to the utterances of the scholarly and sequent Reverend Walton. It was even more delightful and encouraging to see how earnestly and attentively little children of six, eight, ten and twelve years of age sat listening to the principles of the U, N, *I*. A. and the doctrines of the Honorable Marcus Harvey. We were greatly impressed by the work being done by the Yeshiva Division. It would be Well if more of our members could visit divisions like this. We could better measure the depth of the splendid work being done by the U, N, *I*. A. with its great leader, the honorable Marcus Harvey.

F. L. BROWN
REIUTR, Bryn, Oct. 9 (A, P.)—A concert broadcast from Pittsburgh and dance music played at the Savoy Hotel in London, carried thousands of miles by radio, cheered the flagging spirits of the besieged French garrison of Sueda, rescued recently after having been surrounded in their cladel for two months by the rebel Drue tribesmen.
It has become known through the report of the garrison's commander, Colonel Multher, who wrote that Druto constitutes one of the finest defensive weapons that a besieged unit can possess. It renders at times more service than a battery of artillery. It has a great influence on the morale of the troops' dispelling that feeling of isolation and abandonment, so difficult to overcome.
Colonel Multher's diary shows the Sueda garrison was in constant wiretapping with the outside world. "We yesterday we heard the jazz band of the Savoy Hotel in London," he wrote. "The men who were not on duty danced to its tunes."
Another entry said: "During the night we heard the station at Pittsburgh. We are sorry the weakness of our repelling apparatus prevents us from thanking the Americans for an excellent evening."
The wireless station in the beggared estate, however, had at times much grimmer work to do. It reported the effect of the Drusse artillery fire and sent forth appeals for supplies, which were furnished by airplane.
The Syrian front has resawaked from the period of tranquility. Strong forces of Drusse tyresmen launched an attack against a column led by General Gamelin between Meerra and Sejen, but the French report that the triflesmen were routed. French planes bombarded camps of Belouins in northern Syria when the latter tried to cut the Aleppo-Damascus railway.
Riff Sympathizers Petition Coolidge
WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 26—The Riff war was introduced into the French debt controversy, this week when several American societies presented a petition to President Coydile-protesting against any preferential debt-funding terms to France, on the ground that every dollar conceded to Caliphius would be used against Abdel-Krima, the Riff chiefman. Signed by the Young Moslem Society of America, the Syrian Independence party, the Palestine National league, and the Riff Relief committee, the protest which reached President Coydile Thursday said: "The Palestine society, composed of American citizens, responsibly protest to you as head of this great liberty-loving nation, against the granting to the French any preferential terms in the refunding of her debt to our country.
"Every dollar thus conceded to France will only be used to further her imperialistic designs against our blood kin who are struggling for their independence in North Africa, and the Near East." A similar protest was sent last week to Senator Borah by a group of members of the American Legion in New York.
In connection with the petition to President Cooleid, it was announced that a Riff relief committee" has been recently formed by the Arab communities in New York and other American cities for the purpose of collecting funds in this country to assist Abd-al-Krim's wounded warriors and the civilian vietnamese of Spanish-French hostilities against the tribesmen of New York. The Sephik Sahil Almud-el-Khateeb, the imam or religious head of Moslems in the United States, is chairman of the committee, and Dr. S. Baddour, editor of a New York Arabic newspaper, Al-Bayan, is secretary.
Spanish Attitude Target
This committee charges that Spain has prevented the international: Red Cross organization, or any of its member societies in various countries, from lending any assistance to the Riff refugees.
Riff Women Take Their Place in Battle Line
LONDON, Oct. 1 (L. N. S.)—Rifian and Spanish women have taken their places with their men in the line of battle and are fighting, shoulder to shoulder, with regular troops in the Alhucemas sector, according to dispatches to the Daily Mail from Madrid today.
The tribeswomen joined the battle for Morro Nuevo, recently captured by the Spanish, and the Spanish women attached to Red Cross and health services in the field followed the example of the enemy women—who have been pounding Totuan, seat of the Spanish protectorate, according to Daily News dispatches. The guns were placed behind the hills commanding Totuan and an arching fire worked considerable damage.

Whether ye be rich or poor, intelligent or ignorant, the temptation comes at some time or other, and one exclaims in disgust and despair, "Is it worth while?"

Humanity becomes more selfish and sordid; they cease to feed and be fed with the milk of human kindness, but inbibe freely of materialism; hence, wars and strifes among families; nations and races become more prevalent and the spirit of fellowship and brotherly love vanishes before the onslaught of greed and selfishness.
The cry of some people is "Let us have peace"; but how can there be peace when there is no Love. Man will continue to destroy his brother man, until Love is enthroned in their hearts. Then the reign of the Prince of Peace will be established on earth as it is in Heaven.
We who live in civilized and progressive countries like these United States read in the daily papers of murders, suicides and robberies, which are increasing at an alarming rate; we express horror, deplore such conditions, but how often do we think of these things from the humanitarian viewpoint and try to fathom the real cause of them? Today we read of a woman in New York City found dead in a furnished room, an open gas jet the only evidence of cause of death. Poor fool some light-hearted reader exclaims, "why kill herself, when she could have had such a good time in New York of all places." "Some man at the bottom of it," hazards another. Yet the truth may never be known that a sensitive soul braved the shadows of the unknown rather than face an unkind and bustling city. One kind world, a cheerful smile, might have neutralized her little world with this, but the movies was only an opiate that left its ill effects and the white lights of Broadway could not recompense her for the mellow lights of a fire-side and a gentle voice at eve. The world lacks sympathy and the situation that faces each individual is, whether we should shape our lives according to the sorrid drift of the times, or live according to the dictates of a spiritual conscience, yet always fighting the material forces. Some of us, however, take a third course and quit life altogether.
The murderer and the robber often commit crimes, not because of the love of it, but sometimes to get recompense or satisfaction when an advanced civilization offers him no redress because he is not wealthy or powerful. But he who takes the law in his own hands, loses out in the long run. The best advice is get the wealth, become powerful and play your cards according to the system in vogue.
Life is worth living, if each individual would know and understand that his purpose in life is to live up to the best in man, and make his contribution to the age in which he lives; his is the greater victory when he can conquer the evil forces not with the hope of worldly reward, but with the inner satisfaction of having done right by himself and his fellow man, and above all lived up to the high calling of his Creator.
Mauris ungrateful, the world is wicked, but it's worth while living after all. Go to it, friends, and make the best of it while you are here.
NOTES OF INTEREST
Why Do You Go to Church?
"Formerly there were a great many people who went to church simply because they had nothing else to do. It was not unknown for people to sit in a church gallery and eat peanuts during service. We never hear of such a thing today and the church does not lose by the absence of people who formerly came because they had nothing else to do.
"The preacher has now this inspiration that he is put there to hold a gravel or to entertain people but to feed hungry souls.
"I would prefer to speak to an audience of thirty people who sheerly desire such an interpretation of the religious spirit as I am able to give them, than to address three hundred who have come for a lecture or a speech or a histrionic exhibition."—Dr. John Mellish, in Success Magazine.

"The Green Revolution" of Russia
There seems little reason to believe that collectivist farms of agriculture will gain during the immediate future in Russia. The tendency ever since the introduction of the Nep has been for the number and membership of the collective organizations to decline; and this is especially true of those communal farming organizations which gave birth to the instinct for private property. Many of those communities and cooperatives which still exist, judging from the writer's personal observations, are based not so much on any genuine impulse for collective labor as on the extreme poverty of the peasants, which almost drives them into Collective organizations where they enjoy some privileges.—William Chamberlain, in Review of Reviews.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1935
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-The wives of America would get $17,000,000,000 a year for their services if they, were on salary, W. A. Johnson of Galveston, Texas, president of the Laundry Owners' National Association, told members today.
"The weekly payroll of the 22,000,000 wives and home managers of the United States would be $330,000,000 at $15 a week each," he said. "Half the sum would be sufficient to pay all expenses of running the government of the United States, both State and local.
"The reason women don't receive pay as home managers is that as an average they are lacking in business sense. Women don't demand a business basis because they are used to a sentimental basis."
"If home managers were put on a salary in accordance with the means of the family nearly all budget economists are coppyined it would be an economical move."
Why Cincinnati Women Weep
WASHINGTON.—When the veteran editor, Phil Dabney of the Cincinnati "Union" wrote his classic: "Is Love Dying?" he brought tears to the eyes of the bobbed hair, Walnut Hill beauties by saying that "The hair, woman's crowning glory, is now so short, that cranial lumps and bumps are plainly perceptible." The man whose hand has lovingly, lingeringly, and consolingly caressed and stroked the charming tresses that formerly rippled earthward, now keeps his hands away from that bony poll, partly hidden in the remnants left by the busy barber. Editor Dabney has shook his many Washington friends, none of whom noticed his aversion to the bobbed hair type during his recent visit here. Probably the borers in Washington are more expert than those in Cincinnati, or the absence of cranial lumps and lumps here may be due to the fact that this is a more peaceful city. However, stroking charming tresses will continue to be the favorite past-time if not the chief occupation of the males in this city of calm repose and beautiful bobbed hair Cleopatra, regardless of Editor Dabney's distribe.
Practice Parties For Children
BY ANNIE MILLER MELICK
One of the wisest women I ever know, although I didn't realize it then, was a young mother who used to have state dinner parties for the children of her own family regularly once a month.
No outfitters were invited on these occasions, and all the children were brought to the table.
The host linen, china and silver were used, and everything was served most punctually, and in an up-to-date manner. Unusual dishes were brought into the menu, and great care was taken that each child should behave as he would, in the presence of strangers and not carelessly as he was sometimes inclined to do at home.
At the time, I thought Mrs. B. a very foolish woman to take upon herself all this extra work and trouble when her daily life seemed already full to over-flowing, and I told her so.
"Maybe I am foolish," she replied, "but I just won't have my children going out to other people's houses and staring at the pretty china and cut glass as though they had never seen such things; or using the wrong forks and spoons, to their own embarrassment; or still worse taking a bath from the finger bowl as I see some children do." No, indeed, they shall have their experiences right here at home, and I think the comfort I got out of it in future years will make up to me fully for the extra effort it is costing me now."
And after all she is right. Example is stronger than precept, and although it costs us mothers extra time and trouble, it is the only way in rearing children, for preaching and practice, in order to accomplish anything, must go hand in hand.
Nine Nations Abolish Passport Visa Fees
PARIS—The American Consulate General in Paris has announced that nine countries have awing their doors wider in welcome to American travelers by abolishing all fees for passport visas. Nationals of these countries will enjoy reciprocal privileges in the United States. These nations are Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua, which now grant visas without charge, and Belgium, Switzerland and Panama, which have disposed with the formality of the visa altogether. Spain has reduced its visa fee to $1.50 and Bulgaria to $2.
"This is a most significant step in the development of American travel abroad," commented Robert P. Klinner, the American Congress General in Paris. "The arrangements with these countries will benefit all American citizens traveling abroad for business or pleasure."
INDIA'S "SOUL-POWER"
In an article in the October issue of Asia Magazine 'Jane Aldon gives a pictureque description of India, and her profoundly religious sons. She visited the philippers and religious men and marvelled at the spiritual wisdom and soul-stirring words that emanated from them. She visited Hill College and heard the children chant a Hindu prayer in Sanakrit, then followed a Buddhist and finally a Mohammedan prayer, each child, taking part according to his particular belief, but each respecting the faith of the other. Then they all recited some of Tagore's verses, which we reproduce for our readers' information:
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high:
"Where knowledge is free;
"Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
"Where words come out from the depths of truth;
"Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
its arms towards perfection;
"Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert said of dead habit;
"Where the mind is led forward by those into ever-widening thought and action—
"Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake!"
But the writer had yet to see another type of Indian and to learn the philosophy of the westernized type. In her walks she meets Ram Prasad and All, who has been to America, and whose contact there has changed their whole being and, they view life from the material standpoint, believing in meeting force with force, and not with religion.
We quote the following conversation between them and the writer:
"Well, you have been visiting our classes," he began. "They must have amused you greatly. Victorian travellers! You have, seen our girl's curiosity—no math, no science, all English and history. Oh, it is a very canny British rail."
"That may be true, but how much farther could you have gone if left to yourself?"
Ram Prasad, gave a kind of outraged short:
"Yes, it is undoubtedly our karma," murmured Krishna.
"Never mind what the past has been," said Alil elsewhere. "Now we are going to change all that. You believe in America for the Americans, as your saying is. Well, we believe in Asia for the Asiatics, and we are organizing students to work for this in every college of every Asiatic city there is!"
"I personally believe in the whole world for the whole world, All!"
"Ah, you are idealist!" smiled the Mahommedan boy, showing his strong white teeth. "You are a woman. That is a beautiful idea, but beautiful ideas must be backed up with the sword, the Howitzer, the Big Hertha"—or what good are they?
"Guns and man-power!" he went on, gazing across his quiet Indian field as if "already seeing them turned into trenches." "The prop West shall not." With India's three hundred millions, China's four hundred millions, Japan's army and navy and the holy force and military genius of Islam, . . . "His eyes gleamed, and his whole body quivered with the intensity of his imagination." "Who in the western world can raise a force to meet that?"
"No, one, I am sure. We are sick, sick unto death, of war and all that it means. Our one thought is how to do away with it, how never to have it on this earth again."
"Ah, that is because you are tired out!" said the Mosleon triumphantly. "Now if it is our turn; for we have been gaining vitality while you were appending! The West has had its day and must retire while the East, trampled and split upon, comes into power!"

THE EXIGENCIES
By HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS
The leaders of a race should ever be on the alert to find new opportunities for the advancement of humanity and of their particular group. We find the Anglo-Saxon leader ever seeking to exalt his own race and to extend his empire, even though it be at the sacrifice of the yellow man, the brown man, the red man, and the black man.
The yellow man and brown man rallies to the call of his leaders, for racial and territorial independence. For recognition are an equal in any "League of Nations" or "Peace Conference" called by the so-called "Great Powers" of the world.
The brown man insists upon the autonomy of his country, and his leaders are aggressive and insistent upon racial solidarity and the determination of the smaller nations for their independence.
The red man, as he realizes that in his trusting confidence in the invader of his continent, and his ignorance of the ways and methods of the invader, has failed in late years to produce any leaders. They were too late finding out that those who came with presents ("Beware of the Greek bearing gifts") and preoccupied the beautiful german of Christ-"De unto others as you would have them do unto you"—were only seeking to rob them of their country and segregate them upon an Indian reservation. Their leaders made a feeble effort at resistance, but they were fugile and "Westward, the star of Empire made its way," and the poor Indian saw his fate "in the setting of the western sun."
The black man must learn from the history of these other nations that only through the unselfish leadership of one who dares to sacrifice, all, and who is willing to lay his life upon the almae of his country—Africa; one who does not seek to pallate or conceal the one object of the white man's compass of Africa and his determination to make it a white Africa, that we can not hostile or delay longer the mobilizing of the Negroes of the world for the patriotic purpose of founding the United States of Africa. And if our men hesitate to follow our leader, Marcus Garvey, who dares to do all, then the women of the race must come forward; they must join the great army of Amazons and follow a Joan of Arc who is willing to be burned at the stake to save her country. Africa must be saved; "Strike for your alarms and your free

By the New York Black Cross Nurses
Chicken-pox is an acute contagious
disease of children, characterized by
feverishness and an eruption on the
skin, consisting in the appearance of
successive crops of vesicles or little
raised blisters about the size of a pea.
The disease is quite distinct from
small-pox; the one affords no pro-
tection against the other, nor does
vaccination protect against chicken-
pox.
Causes—It is caused by a germ, and
generally occurs in epidemics; it is
very contagious, the infection spreading
by close personal contact or by
clothes.
Symptoms. There is an incubation period of from ten to fifteen days between the exposure to infection and the first appearance of symptoms. For about one day the child is feverish, and then the rash appears. The rash begins as small, red, ragged pimples on the forehead, face and trunk which in a few hours become vesicles filled with clear fluid. In one or two days the fluid becomes turbid and soon dries up into a leak which later drops off, leaving no scar. Several drops of vesicles appear for three or four successive days after the first crop, each lot running through the same stages as the original. Altogether there may be a few hundred pocks spread more or less over the whole body or there may only be a dozen or so. There is slight feverishness until the vesicles have all dried up into scabs. Recovery is usually quite perfect; only very rarely do severe cases occur, which may be like mild small-pox, and difficult to distinguish from that disease, adults also are affected, occasionally.
Treatment—The child must be isolated until all the scabs have separated—two to three weeks probably—but need only to be kept in bed until all the vesicles have dried up into scabs. The only treatment necessary is to relieve the itching, which is apt, to lead to scratching and this may injure the skin and cause permanent disgagement. This is best done by bathing the skin with a lotion of one part of coccobacillus acid to sixteen parts of water, and by muffling up the patient's hands. If there is much erosion on the scab, the hair would better be cut short. The bowels must be kept open; if no free movement give a dose of castor oil in fruit juice. If fever is present, consult your doctor at once.

The Englishman's antipathy to the educated African, or, for that matter, to any educated man of color, is not a new phenomenon but it is growing and threatening to create a lasting enemy between the white and iron-white races in the British Empire. We have used the group term 'Englishman' deliberately because generally speaking colored people have had very little difficulty in dealing with Irishmen or Scotchmen. We can understand the attitude of the Irishman who has had an experience similar to that which the educated African is having with the English in West Africa and we know that the Scotchman has little color prejudice. But the English are differently constituted and they are the element in the British Empire which keeps the color question in a state of ferment. But let us not be
understood as suggesting that all Englishmen have an aversion to the educated African. There are Englishmen who are an exception to this general tendency, men with sterling character who would not knowingly tread on a worm, men with culture and breproachable manners. But they are few and far between and the African is not likely to meet them in a day's march. We are not dealing with the minority but with the majority, and to understand the latter one has to study their character and temperament. The Englishmen alluded to are grasping, self-centered and conceived, highly conscious of their own rights, but disregardful of the rights of others, imperious and intolerant of other people's point of view. They have set India fermenting and have not failed to create an unrest in Africa. Obsessed with the idea of their racial superiority they make it their policy
CRISIS IMPENDS AS RENT LAW VOIDS FEB. 15
something over 1,000,000 families paying monthly toll to landlords has a higher percentages of rent-payers than any other city in the world.
Hearings in City Hall
The heavy guns of both sides will first be heard on Nov. 5 at the City Hall, New York, when the State Commission of Housing and Regional Planning begins a series of heighlights. Tenants and real estate men will be invited to signify, of the first importance, however, will be the findings in a survey now being conducted by the commission itself in an effort to determine whether the housing emergency still exists. Following the hearings a report will be made by the Commission, Chairman, Clarence S. Stein, to Gov. Smith and the Legislature.
In support of their plog that the housing emergency is over and that the law of supply and demand must be allowed again to function without interference, the real estate ten point to the vast building which has gone on in New York. Last January Tenement House *Commissioner* Frank Mann said that 400,000 apartments had been added to the city's housing accommodations in the preceding four years. In the nine months from Jan. 1 to Sept. 1, 1925, plunge for 42,344 additional apartments were filed. But the great majority of these apartments are beyond the means of the working man.
The estimate of Commissioner Mann that 400,000 apartments had been built, included, it should be noticed, one and two family dwellings, within the city limits. The records of the Tenement House Department show that 7,432 "tenements" - meant apartment houses of all classifications - were built in the years 1920 to 1927 inclusive. Their value reached a total of $669,741-200. Up to July 1 of this year 1,017 additional houses were built costing $68-825,500.
Construction Costs Significant
During the nine months from Jan.
1, 1925, to Sept. 1926 plans were filed for
construction of 2,587 new buildings to
cost a total of $190,668,000. The figures
are interesting in view of the contention that few of the new buildings can be rented by the working man or the moderate wage earner. The average cost of the prospective structures in Manhattan, for example, was to be $186,000. In the Bronx the average cost was $180,000 and in Brooklyn $30-
000, as though Brooklyn had been considerably inferior and the other two boroughs not at all. And yet it must be remembered that all those in touch with building costs declare it is impossible to put up apartment houses to rent at rates within the budget means of the average family.
Meanwhile the constant changes in New York have brought about the demolition, of many tenements—this despite the frantic ideas of the real estate men that under the rent laws they cannot evict their tenements to tear down or reconstruct their buildings. Obviously, this plea does not stand up under the facts. The files of the Tenement House Department show that a total of 2,807 buildings were either converted to non-tenement classifications or torn down in the four years from 1929 to 1924. This means they have been reduced to dwellings, to one or two families, and thus taken out of the tenement classification, or have been replaced with left, factory and office buildings.
Low-Priced Supply Shrinka
They were, in the main, old law tenements. The figures show very clearly that New York is dropping back in the fight for moderate priced apartments. It is only through the construction of cheap one and two-family houses, and through the "doubling up" of tenants to save rent, that vacancies have resulted.
In view of these facts, but particularly in view of the results being charged, it is like waving a red flag in front of the embattled tenants to say that the extreme emergency has passed.
Still, it cannot be denied that vacancies have increased enormously. The low point in vacancies was reached, according to the Commission on Housing and Regional Planning, in February, 1921. There were then 1,510 apartments to rent in all New York, a percentage of vacancies of 0.15. In its 1924 report to the Legislature the Commission suggested that 5.60 percent, the ratio in 1961, be considered normal.
Is the percentage increasing? It cannot be denied that it is. In January, 1924, the percentage was 2.23. Tenement House Commissioner Mann believeth the vacancies have now reached 5 percent. He repeats his declaration of a year ago that the emergency has ended. 'The real estate men, naturally enough, agree with him. But every one admits that most of the vacancies are in the high-priced classifications.
Rent in New York has gone down very little. The National Industrial

Conference Board reports a drop "of 5 percent or less." It is decidedly "less" Statistics of the Federal Department of Labor show a slight downward trend in the cost of living in general. Rents are lagging behind somewhat in the downward trend.
Assuming, then, that in the great majority of cases rights have gone down little, if at all, why do impartial students of the situation admit, at least privately, that the extreme emergency has passed? Briefly, it is because the "emergency" was an emergency of an absolute lack of apartments. This view was the one passed upon and found valid by the courts.
It was not primarily at least an emergency of high rents. Otherwise legislation against the cost of food would have been just as constitutional. The problem, if this view is accepted, then resolves itself into the question of whether vacuums have increased to a point where it is safe to remove the protective legislation of the last five years.
Pastcr Sold Slave for $1
Is Jersey 1831 Record
In 1831 a slave was sold in Jersey City for $1 and "other" valuable, consideration," according to a document found yesterday in a chest in the attic of the old Van Reyen house at Van Reyen and Academy streets, Jersey City. The house was built about 260 years ago and has always been in the hands of the Van Reyen family. The present owner, Mrs. P. E. Green, is the granddaughter of Cornelius D. Van Reyen.
Yesterday W. H. Richardson, a historian and antiquarian, examined the contents of the chest. Among the documents was a bill of sale from the Rev. Benjamin C. Taylor, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church, for a slave sold to Cornelius Van Reyen. Another was a receipt for a year's subscription to the New York Times seventy years ago. A political song book of the Harrison campaign was also found.
Living and Dying Instalments
The building and loan associations and mortgage companies have grown to immense proportions in this country on the business of financing the purchase or construction of homes on the installation plan. Typewriter companies sell their machines, as do sewing machine companies on instalments. Books and furniture and wedding rings can all be had for a dollar down and so much a week. Food, the movies and curfure seem among the few things of daily use that can not be be had by partial payments. And, though the railroads will not let you pay them during next winter for your summer trip, you can buy competing transportation on instalments.—World's Work.

Negro Automobile Workers Thrive in New York
NEW YORK-That Negro automobile mechanics and general hands are coming into their own in New York is shown by the fact that nearly 17 percent of the skilled mechanics employed in automobile storage houses and repair shops are Negro mechanics, helpers, chauffeurs, floormen, and general garage workers. While painters, machinists, installers, and electricians are as yet scarce among race workers in New York's great automobile plants and garages, there is steadily advancement and increased inclusion of Negro hands in the general trades common to the shoring and repairing of autos.
Murder a Day Chicago Record for 9 Months.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—Murders continue in Cook County at the rate of more than one a day. In the 279 days of 1923 there have been 283 murders. In the first nine months, Coroner Wolfe reports 283 murders in Cook County, and Chief of Police Collins reports only 167 murders in Chicago. If both are correct there were 116 murders in Cook County outside of Chicago in the first nine months of 1925, a figure that is called incredible. It is apparent that coroner's juries have classified killings as murders which the police have classified as accidents, justifiable homicides or man-slaughter.
A MATTER OF TASTE
THE BISHOP AND THE PAGAN
Written for the New World
By ETHEL TREW DUNLOP
There was a Pagan over sea.
And to the sun he bowed his knee.
And as its glory pier him burst.
His Maker with his heart conversed.
Thus worshiping, his soul, at length,
Attained to purity, and strength,
And in all things that do abound.
A cause for reverence he found.
There was a Bishop, deceived devout,
Who twisted truth and facts about,
Who preached the Pagan faith to shun
And evil to sainte the sun.
And as he preached against the child
Of reverence, reared in the wild;
Across the continent he drew.
To Eagle Rock, its heights to view.
On Eagle Rock he gazed in pride:
"Another landmark viewed," he cried.
"Twas worth the price to cross the land
To gaze upon a slight so grand!"
Thus worshipping the Bishop spake;
But not of pure devotion's sake
Like that ousant, child-like one
Who prostrate fell before the sun,
Ah! Then he worshipped Eagle Rock,
And yet it gave no one a shock—
Though they were horrified as he
About the Pagan over sea.

PROF. M. A. FIGUERCA, SCHER
Alerta con la traclón, advierte nuestro presidente general
—Mayor vigilancia y descernimiento necesarios para
combatir la maldad, practicada por los "privilegiados"
en detrimento de la raza —Una organización
empeñada exclusivamente en la labor de reformas
Un leader sometido a ruda prueba por no haber
respondido a la pregunta, "¿cuánto me toca?"
Conciudadanos de la raza salud:
Aprovecho esta oportunidad para advertir de nuevo el estar alerta en contra de las maquinaciones de los "privilegiados" de la raza, o pertenecientes al grupo en posición de causar daño. Estos agentes de la maldad se nos acercan con frases de santimonio en sus labios y la adulación es su instrumento principal. Esfuerzan su disfrazada simpatia en nuestra confianza y cuando el virus venenoso con que nos inyectan empicpa a hacer su afecto, so preparan para dar el golpe mortal. Preservémonos de tal maquilavismo; estemos siempre sentinela alerta.
Cuando ejercitaba personalmente mis actividades por la causa me sentaba una y otra vez en la silla presidencial del Liberty Hall de la cuidad de Nueva York, y escuchaba los discursos patrióticos, las elocuentes afirmaciones de lealtad y sinceridad de parte de aquellos sobre los cuales habia hecho yo mi juicio crítico, llegando al convenimiento de que simplemente esperaban la oportunidad para injuriarnos secretamente; mientras planteaba yo los mejores métodos para desacernos de tal elemento, me sorprendía el que existiera tanto maquiavelismo, fanta traición, tan poca consideración por la felicidad común, en el corazón de individuos pertenecientes a esta sufrida raza nuestra. Con la sonrisa hipócrita en sus labios suspendían su algarada para rendir un tributo, a "este gran hombre, Marcus Garvey," cuando si expresaran sus sentimientos su grito sería, "fuera este obstáculo en mi camino."
Marcus Garvey se halla actualmente detrás de la reja de una prisión; apesar de ello se continua la tribulación ficticia y sin importar la bienestar de la raza, se ejercitan tramas para enriquecerse a espensas de la masa de nuestro pueblo. Se hace, por consiguiente, imprecindiblemente necesario para los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, el redoblar la vigilancia para combatir la actitud mălevola. El robo, la explotación., la trama, no son peculiaridades especiales del negro; son faltas en todos los pueblos. Pero nuestra raza, progresiva actualmente, es la única que practica la maldad de modo, tal que se injuria a si misma. El judío roba al judio, el blanco roba al blanco, pero no al extremo de injuriar 6 destruir si raza como un grupo 6 comunidad. El negro, por el contrario, roba a su hermano sin preocuparle la consecuencia 6 el grado que pueda afectar a su raza.
Por medio de tal disposición y práctica destructiva, la mayor parte de mi programa universal en beneficio de la raza ha sido grandemente injuriado por aquellos que, para beneficiarse personalmente de un modo o de otro, se han afiliado a la organización. La falta de honestidad entre nuestro elemento se reduce al circulo en que este gira; escasamente la ejercita en su contacto con las demas razas. La poca honestidad para con nosotros mismos no debe ser interpretada exclusivamente en nuestra organización, sino que incluye también en gran parte nuestras iglesias, nuestros circulos sociales, nuestras logias y todas las demas asociaciones sin hacer mención de nuestros corrupitos grupos políticos.
La razón por la cual nuestra institución ha sido tan conbatida, estribia en que siempre hemos expuesto a la sanción pública, los hechos de nuestros enemigos a medida que les descubrimimos entre nuestras huestes, y principalmente porque estamos empenados en una labor de reformar. Por ello se me ha culpado de que mis asociados no pueden congeniar conmigo por mi actitud imperialista. La política de la organización bajo mi dirección ha sido siempre la de la equidad y la de la honestidad. Mis amigos de ayer se convierten en mis enemigos de hoy al descubrirse sus actos de poca honestidad; siempre he de reusar el ocupar un puesto oficial, en compañía de esta clase de elementos. Por este hecho nuestra lucha con la revanecha o con la intención de destruir nuestro movimiento de enalgtcimiento.
Si yo tuviera que conspirar con individuos que engañan a la organización o al pueblo, entonces mi prestigio no hubiera sido ultrajado y no se hubiera escuchado una sola palabra en mi contra, mientras nuestra raja pagaba el precio de tal ingreso. Afortunadamente ful educado en un sistema de vida pública y privada, en el cual la trama era desconocida. Nunca escuché la pregunta de "Ciánto me toca de cacó" hasta que no empece mis actividades en beneficio de mi pueblo en America. Sí hubiera envenido con otros individuos de la raza el explotar las masas, esos confederados me hubieran protejido con el poder de la influencia política. Apesar de haber tenido docenas de asociados en la administración de la organización, he tenido muy pocos amigo. Si he de tenerlos, estos deben ser impuestos y no esperar favores por medios de trama. En una ecoción fuil título de malo, por no patricinar el solicitado hasta el extremo de bacroma la victima de llenas penicciones y , , , hame aquí.
Una expedition científica alemana manifiesta, intenta resolver esta cuestión: "El sér humano resuelva retrograder al tipo afimal si pierde el contacto con la humanidad civilizada?" Rudolf Requidi, autor y soldado afortunado, intenta por al hay una-contrarevolución -o regresión humana- bajo ciertas condiciones.
Antes de dirigirse a la bahía de Delagos, en el Africa oriental portuguesa, proyecta ir a los Estados Unidos, con la esperanza de poder reclutar a uno o dos científicos norteamericanos para esta bizarra aventura.
Sus experimentos los practicaron en infantes negros, los cuales no deberán tener contacto con otros de sitclase hasta la adolescencia. Cada uno de los movimientos será anotado en nombre de la ciencia.
En un paraje solitario a lo largo de la costa, quitará doce africanitos a sus madres, aislaudolos completenemente, en un pequeño sitio, tecnicamente equipado para los extraordinarios experimentos, y protegidos contra accidentes y enfermedades.
A diferencia del simiesco Turtaz, no tendrían ni siquiera la compaía de los monos.
Requitad quiere ver si estos niños, aislaudos, pueden desarrollar un lenguaje hablado o natural; si inventan uenilios y descubren espontariamente los productos de la civilización moderna, o si retrogradan al estado de los monos o del hombre de la caverna.
Permanecerá mental y espiritualmente retrasados? O al menos se elevarán al nivel de los africanos orientales?
Requitad cree que la contestación de estas preguntas será de gran valor no solo para los evolucionarios sino para los psicólogos del mundo entero.
Después de este periodo de prueba, estos especiesines se pondrán en contacto con la civilizacion moderna y se provencera a su cuidado. Ya Raquadi da hecho observaciones preliminares entre los africanos orientales y esta es la causa por la cual abandono la literatura para dedicarse a este nuevo campo de la investigacion humana.
Intenta establisher la "incubadora" en una llanura de la costa, separando la estacion de experimentacion de las residencias de los cientificos por varios centenares de años. Ha planado puestos especiales de observacion alrededor de la morada de los niños. Alli con la ayuda de espejos eseciales, dictafonos y camaras de cinematografio los observadores podrán seguir de dia y de noche a los niños. Se emplean un gran brazo nicécanico para alcanzar a los niños y cambiarlos de vez en cuando.
Elaisamiento de los niños no sigmificará descuñido; pues los médicos estarán presentes para ver si si tratados adecuadamente, en caso de enfermedad, y debidamente allímenados. ; Saldrá de esa prueba una nueva raza de hombres? Se han hecho preprimativos para dar cuenta de los progresos de experimento por medio de la United Press.
En favor de los rifenos
El congreso de las inventures libres iberoamericanas compuesto de estudiantes, obreros y campesinos ha sido convocado para febrero entrante en Liaba, por medio de un manifesto dirigido a los citados elementos de la América Hispana diciendo que ha sonado la hora de la liberación mediante el estuero combinado de las agrupaciones juveniles, la industria y los obreros. El manifesto describe en términos severísimos la situación de España y el comité central trata de movilizar a los estudiantes españoles para ejercer. una acción intensa frente al Directorio.
A Dónde va inglaterra?
Ha sido publicada en esta ciudad una edición americana del nuevo libro de León Brounstein, conocido por Protzky, titulado, A Dónde ya Ingraterra?, en que predice la caida del coloso británico, que otros muchos profetas antes que Protzky han llamado coloso de los pies de barro. Según el autor, ya inglaterra se halla en proceso de descomposición capitalista, y no por efecto de propaganda difundidas de Moscou, sino por obra y gracia de los capitalistas de los Estados Unidos, o concremente un poco más, de Wall Street.
La presión económica y financiera de los Estados Unidos aplesta la vida de las naciones europeas, y como las ideas revolucionarias no cenden tanto por America como por Europe. la burguesia norteamericana sobrenadura más de 60 mamos a la calefacción europea, y la burguesia americanas de solazaren con el englacimiento destructor de su hermana americanas.
Kampero, tambida al colono americano le Magara al hora inevitable.
Los esemplares del acero y del alero, los esemplares de la induración y del comercio, los tejados de la jacuna, en
una palabra, los multimillonarios de Nuestra York, de Chicago y de San Francisco, es desempeñando aun que sin dar cuenta, la función revolucionaria que les está predestinada. Y en ultima instancia, el proletariat american desempareñal la suya. Y no es, dice Trotky, cuestion de llamada intruso por metterease en asuntos extranjeros, porque esto sería equivalente a culpar al astronomo que predice un eclipse solar de haberlo causado el.
Plan del moro
una persona competente en las cuestiones de Marruecos y que acaba de llegar de Albucemas, afirma que no obstante la captura de Axidor, Abd-el-Krism seguirá insumiso y se retirará a las montanas del Rif central, donde una persecución eficaz requeriría el empleo de cien mil hombres y una campaña de un año. El ejercto francés tropezaria con iguales dificultades. Asi, pues, descartada por demasiado costosa en sangre y dinero la ocupación militar de todo el Rif. queda como alternativa una solución política.
España podria ocupar todos los puntos "estrategicos como Uadlan, las torres de Alcalá, Punta Pescadores, la bahía de Albucemas, Cabo Quilates y Sididir, estableciendo bases politico-militares con guarriciones que en total no sumas más de veinte mil hombres esogidos entre las fuerzas de choque.
Cabria entonces contrarrestar la influencia rífena desarrollando una política de protección agrícola en las cabilas fértiles contral los desmanes de los montañes rífenos. Si los indigenas se viesen protegidos fuertemente, ellos nismos se encargarian, de tener a raya a los rebeldes y con mayor razón si sabían que Francia les guardaba las espaldas. Las fuerzas invasoras se verán expuestas a una, guerra de desgaste sufriendo continuas y terrribles bajas.

(Author of *Whits from West Africa*)
Quite a long chapter of accidents had separated my Zachum, Gilbert Hardace, From his steamer. After nearly three years hard work on the middle Niger, bartering Manchester Cottons and Birmingham, Hardware for Palm Oil and Palm Kernels, he was several months overdue for leave. His trunks were packed, and his passage had been booked by the Abish early in July. Then he, heard suddenly by telegraph that all passengers by that mailboat were cancelled. His hopes of an English summer, seemed blighted; for the express steamer were already overcalled for months ahead.
- What had happened was this: Elder's oldest passenger-bottle (one of the few survivors of the war), was leaving Lagos in tow of the Hercules well to schedule time. She was bound for Port Harcourt, 'st which place she would take her allotment of freight, and 'turn, round-towed home. But, her engines proved not strong enough to combat a heavy坐垫. She had lied-liet on top of the pair, with the less of several lives; and the poor old Abinai received such damage to her reduitable bottom that she was compelled to go into dock for a complete overhauling.
So much we heightened folly; at Ontiasha could glaze from Reuters. But for nearly a month Hardware was inconsolable, and would not be comforted. He lived in a state of suspense, his boxes half unpacked, and with one foot on the shore and the other on the sea. Almost had he made up his mind to take passage by a Dutch steamer bound for Amsterdam, when he was advised by the shipping agency on the coast that he might secure a passage by the Lagen Express Elimina. If only he would hasten to link up at Port Harcourt with a small brancher, the Oshogbo. Because of a broken bridge across the Enkaja River, and about halfway between Overti and Port Harcourt, knew under tender route was temporarily increased by over thirty miles. A connection with Port Harcourt now entailed a journey of over one hundred and seventy miles. Hardware had scarcely time to drift around and bid, his friends good-bye, being fain to leave Ontiasha on a Saturday morning toward the end of the month.
Now I happened to be the oldest friend of G. H. in the town; and I stood as one of the fow who knew his attesting worth. The shyster and most modest of men, he had "been a "Coaster" for over a dozen years. Although still on the sunny side of ferry, he had this tour been making a bid for success as an independent trader. It seemed to his friends that such hard work deserved better success than Dame Fortune had conceived to him; for he was now returning to England mainly to re-organize business, and to solicit new "shirt" lates. Hence, when he had time, appraising me of his brief office accorded to him by Elders, and regretting that he could not spend his last night with me, I felt a true hang of regret. It would have been good to enjoy one of our dear old sing-songs, with G. H. himself in high feather, robustly reminding the Ballads of Yester-year:
An artist in life, dear old Hardcover, I took myself. One who knew the immense difference between the eternal and the ephemeral—the real and the worthless. A rate ranger, a charming reconstructor, and one of those all-round athletes to whom hat or racket or club make an equally fouled appeal. Onlithia would not appear the same after he was gone.
.On the Saturday morning I had breakfast and was walking from office to the palm-oil shed, thinking a multitude of things about Home and wondering vaguely when my turn for a holiday would arrive, when I heard the cheerful hokk-honk of a motor.
I looked round to see Welsh's lurry lurching toward me at a round pace of fifteen miles an hour. In the driver I recognized the local station agent, Willie Gomersall.
Beside him sat Hardace, somewhat weedy, and pale from his long tour, and with his long white hands clasped over his knees. His eyes were groomed with evident anxiety. I knew at once that the equipage would have to make top speed to reach Fort Harcourt before the fall of night.
"Just a final cheerio at parting," cried Camersall, alighting at my side. "G. H. couldn't bear to leave without repeating his agent that there was no danger to the manneau the last night of his stay here.
In another rupture we were all three grouped in the road, while I commented upon 'the weight and bulk of the baggage and the possibility of speed that lay before the Ford lorry, especially in view of the heavy rains we had been experiencing of late.
"Oh, well pull it off!" declared General ornall, proudly. "This old bun of mine knows me about as well as I know it!" Two Negro steward boys were squinted upon the buns, under a rowdy improvised shelter of tarpaulin. They grinned their glorious antitrustion of a jelly week-end. Hard-core had merely taken my hand in stilton, and I sympathised with his mood.
But General ornall's healthy face glanced with welcome as he suddenly made the suggestion. "Look here, old bird." This happens to be Saturday, you know.

Now, Willie Gomezall's one idea of an airlifting excursion happens to harmonize with his commercial billlet. In the firm which he represents he is regarded as the master mechanic. To his love of motoring he adds an unique knowledge of engineering, and thus his knowledge of how to motivate himself about the colony. To dash over hill and date, exploring unknown villages, discovering new roads and authenticating doubtful "markets" is his greatest effort. On more than one occasion he has covered a thousand miles in a week, returning to heath-quarter's with rooftop maps of some novel district, where swamp and forest have junted, to the confusion of the average unwary traveler.
"But what about that broken bridge
"But what about that broken bridge to Enjaba?" Bqueried. "Oh, I have found a way round that, oldeller me laid! Trust, Gomnie to overcome a little obstacle of that kind: it means ten miles over a narrow path and a deviation of nearly fifty miles, but I am quite confident that we will make Harcourt before puissant, and that we will have the kind of kit bag. All you will need is a change of clothes, a suit of pajamas and your shaving-tackle. We have heaps, of chap inside the van for both lunch and tea on the way."
I was surely tempted. Another glance at the rough and joyous complexion which open air living had begged on Gomessori, and then at the anxious eyes and pale cheeks of Hardacre convinced me. I started across the road,
"give me, only three minutes." I warned,
"It will not take longer than that—and I will instruct that the gown remain open as usual until middle-day."
Without further preamble, I sped into the house, and began to tumble my toilet articles into a bag, meanwhile calling bustily, for the hugey "Lookafter everything well, while I am away, Peter." I commanded, "I shall try to be back by tomorrow night—Sunday, up now with socks, toenails and shirt from that trunk and don't forget an extra pair of shoes. Now my toes and you had better give me my raincoat, in case the weather happens to break again. That's the ticket—all complete."
Within an easy ten minutes of the motor having halted at it, my gate I found myself seated in, fright of the ferry, between my two friends, while we made a rapid pace toward the South.
Dereliction of duty! I knew quite plainly that I risked capture from headquarters, were such an unprepared exploited exploit known to them. But I felt that I deserved a change of scene in nearly a hundred week ends of the present tour I had not been off the foot of the water twice.
Hey, then, for Port Harcourt, and a whiff of the bring!
III.
It was a most beautiful morning overhead—the sky clear and blue, with the lilt of a little breeze from the river. But July in Southern Nigeria coincides with that traditional English April of which Sir William Watson has sung so tenderly:
... Laugh thy girlish laugh.
A glance at the heavy masses of clouds that were banked on the horizon, and were still scudding from the North to the West, Indicated that a storm might be expected before long. Yet as we steered our way up the Awka Road in between the bare hills where millets were bolted their oily or as we watched the Ontsika women slowly and deliberately measuring their bushels of kernels so that the measures might hold the minimum number of nuts), we felt a distinct elevation of the spirits. If a mountain would let in rain! The risks of pneumonia in Nicaragua are so slight as to be negligible, the air remained sweet and humiduring, and for a long time we sat, gently together, drinking in the beauty of the day.
As we swung round the corner of the Awka Road, opposite to the red brick pile of the Grammar school, Gomersall started to sing, in sheer lightness of heart.
The Oguta Road, along which we were now howling at a steady sixteen or seventeen mite an hour, is practically free from commerce. Only at rare and long intervals did we encounter any Africans. An occasional girl, bending beneath is load of three kero-
some time full of all, of the sixty pounds of kernia, which make up the average loads of produce born to these sturdy females of Southern Mississippi, child with a bundle of neatly twigs on its head—an old bean loaded with a calabash of water—or an incredibly old woman, bent and trembling, leaning on a long staff, her puffed breasts hanging down like withered pears. That was all. So we go eagerly together, and thus were brought to an exchange of views about the nucleus we had been receiving of late from London and New York.
"Strange, isn't it?" I commented, "that West Africa supposed to be the creature of Jamaica—before the nurture of the West African Negro does not take at all kindly to modern dancing rhythms, and singing most tenaciously to the old melodies."
"Strange, indeed!" concurred Maracre in that dry manner which always implies an appropriate irony. "The only real deduction would be that Jazz is as much a product of I'll old, New York as Broadway itself."
"Oh, come, I don't agree with that," Komersall told. "Taken all round, the West African Negro is solely responsible for our new dances. Where else did the tom-forn originate? But I agree that he is musical in a way that most of the American songwriters cannot appreciate. He has a wonderful sense of the minor; and his ear for rhythm is without a rival in any part of the world. But the use of minor keys and of rhythm happens to be the two outstanding features of Jazz. Therefore, the West African Negro should be regarded as the creator of it. All the same, he is far too appreciative of a fine singing melody to care for the syncopated horrors that are muddies teaching us from the States."
Hardware knuckled, "Nurse copied discs in good. But would that be, a fair criticism of the last song you were singing. Marcheta? It seemed to me to possess the merit of perfect harmony."
"The song is Mexican." I interpeded.
"That may almost make a difference.
But let me all sing it together, just to show there no ill feeling."
As the Ford货车 now settled firmly into its sturge, vain smoothly along the palm-bordered road, we sang chorus after chorus, reeling in the solitude of the district through which we pass. Soon we were crossing the little stream. Eminah, which ripples toward the Niger from Abduhhti; and a few minutes later we were breaking the heavy climb that leads to Newa and Ihala.
"When shall we come to that famous new road of yours, Gomersal, I asked quizzically. "Is now pearling elephant and we have behind us a good thirty mile. The rain is keeping off wonderfully well, but we shall certainly be caught before noon.
"Another four or five miles," answered the man at the wheel. "I will have to swing round to the left, and then my way through a wide forest clearing. We may see the sawyer at work. Then after account of miles, I have to find a huge blasted cotton-tree. That was the prominent landmark I observed, when first, I went through the forest."
"What an aromatic smell there is about her," scratched Harderidly. "I wonder what kind of trees those are between the road and yonder hill? There is quite a large wood of them," "Eucalyptus," answered Gomersall and I together. The driver himself made the suggestion that we should descend for a few minutes and stretch through the wood, admiring the stretch through the trees, and taking deep breaths of the pertinent air. Meanwhile, the boys seemed to know that some form of liquid refreshment would be accepted. When we returned, they hid a couple of bottles of beer. We gracefully drank, the white we asked around us.
There was something regal, sublimely aloof, in the tall trees, lifting their plumed heads to the sky. Through their intertwined summits the sky still shone exquisitely blue. The procession of the gale had continued toward the

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Whenever a race is downtrodden and oppressed, sooner or later a leader is sent to inspire and guide them. They recognize this leader instinctively and will follow him in spite of everything that may be done to discourage them. Those who oppose the will of God by trying to keep down a struggling group are bound to see signs of His displeasure. I am not discouraged by the trials and tribulations which are being experienced by the members of the U. N. I. A. because I know that all will be righted in God's own time. God will take care of the enemies of the U. N. I. A. and the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Nothing serious is going to happen to him or the organization that cannot be overcome. I smile through trouble because I know that God is with us.
MRS. KATIE B. JONES.
Atlanta, Ga.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
For more than 300 years the Negro has been the victim of prejudice, hatred and segregation. Because the white man the world over has held the weapons with which to keep us down, we have been compelled to go on from day to day suffering and oftimes despairing.
Under the leadership of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, we are preparing to come out of the valley of racial grief and despair. We are slowly but surely emerging into the sunshine of racial pride and independence. The first step was taken when this great leader dared to fight the Negro to do his own thinking along racial lines and quit letting the white man think for him.
Now that the first steps have been taken, the members of this great organization must realize that we have no time to waste stopping on the roadside. We must continue to go on gardening of the cost. In no other way will victory be won. We must never let the enemy discourage us. Nothing is impossible for a race working together for freedom. The success of the program is entirely in our hands. Let us get together and put it ever.

'A Word of Praise
For the Negro World
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I believe that The Negro World is the greatest paper in the Negro race today. I have learned more of the things of vital importance, which concerns the race today than I ever knew before. It is, my opinion that The Negro World prints more world news which is of interest to the Negro than any other newspaper in the country. Much of the news contained in white papers concerns us, but we are unable to grasp its racial significance because of the manner in which it is presented to us. The Negro World is the only Negro newspaper in this country which solves this problem for us.
Much honor is due to the Honorable Marcus Garvey for the founding of this great paper and to the workers who are so successfully carrying it on.

Financial Support Means Everything
To the Editor of The Negro World:
After having heard read an open communication to all members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, making known to them the financial hardships of the Parent Body. I feel that some definite step should be taken to render more direct financial support.
Since the Parent Body receives only 5 cents per month from each member for its financial upkeep, a volunteer contribution of $1.00 per month should materially aid the present revenue and current income. This volunteer taxation, could be paid to the Secretary of the Division' and forwarded each month with his regular reports. As each member's payments are recorded in the financial report, an individual recording of this volunteer donation could be entered as in the annual tax yearly. The member's card also carries a record of all money paid to the secretary; so a permanent record is presentable at all times of this particular sacrifice.
Now is the time for true loyalty and sacrifice, and all members should be ready at this time to render immediate aid to appeals from the Parent Body, realizing to the fullest that when the Parent Body is in distress we are all in distress. There is something particularly laudable about the volunteer in times of need—let us measure up to the issue.
Our leader and champion exhorts us to "Carry On." Yes, carry on spiritually, morally and financially. Sacrifice means love for the cause. Let us prove our love by mutual giving sacrifice. One dollar each month is only 25 cents per week. We can do that if we will so determine and pledge.
With very best wishes for the success of the Volunteer Taxation, I am fraternally and hopefully yours.

Our Feelings as We Sing
To the Editor of The Negro World:
The black citizens of Guatemala entered into the celebration of the anniversary of the gaining of independence of Guatemala, with mixed feelings. While the soldiers saluted the flag and the natives stood at attention with hats off, the band playing the National Anthem, the thought of many war for away from that very impressive scene.
As I viewed this scene, it occurred to me that no Negro who has within him the race pride and ideals set forth by the Honorable Marcus Garvey in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can sing the National anthems of the various countries in which they reside without a feeling of sadness and bonding. Sadness for our condition as a racial group and bonding for the coming of the day when we can sing with pride and joy the National anthem of our own country.
Day by day, I feel to austerity degree the need for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Day by day, I am more and more inspired by its African redemption program. The founder of this great organization is behind prison hays, but it tells us with joy to know that the work it's being carried on by the helpers.
I am only hoping that the members

of our great organization will be endowed with health and strength to earn the money which the organization so greatly needs to carry on its work. I also hope that along with the means they will continue to have the determination which is so necessary for the successful completion of our great program.

We Should Be Encouraged Rather Than Discouraged
To the Editor of The Negro World:
'When members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association get despondent over the fact that our leader has been persecuted and imprisoned, we must get consolation and encouragement in the contemplation of the history of other great movements for racial freedom. Almost without exception, the leader of every movement has been imprisoned at some time or other in the history of the movement.
The leader is not only imprisoned, but this usually happens when the movement is the strongest and is making the greatest strides toward its goal. This is one thought especially that we have to keep constantly before us.
We must not be discouraged because all do not believe in our program, or because all are not in sympathy with our imprisoned leader. It is up to those who do believe to put the program over.
An Appeal to America To Stop Riff Atrocity
To the Editor of The Negro World:
In your issue of the 12th inst. I read the letter sent by Abdel Krum to the Chamber of Deputies, in Paris. On the same page I read the news from Paris viz: Luff lines shelled by hand sea and air. Let us look away in our minds' eye over the Rifian lines. What do we find? There are the manned corps of children, teen and juvenile old men and women scathed over the scene. The slaughter of the innocents, the killing of non-combatants and the destruction of homes so much condemned during the World War is now legalized and practised by the same nation who conquered such warfare a few years ago.
The nations are quiet while such barbarous acts are committed by so-called civilized nations. There are such batteries of French Fxs, alphas and warships shelving the Rifian lines.
All with one determination, to exterminate and massacre these people in the land of their fathers.
These people are fighting for liberty for the land which is the keys to heritage, yet they are called rebels. Why are they called rebels? The entire world knows that that is a misnomer. A people whose object/ideal and principle is peace and independence, cannot rightly be called rebels? Then who are the intruders and the aggressors? In the name of justice, what is wrong with the civilized and Christian nations of the world? Are their ears deaf to the entreaties of the so-called relief chieftain to do something to stop the massacre of a little nation? Where is the League of Nations? Thag it will exasl? Where is His Holiness the Pope of Rome, who did so much during the World War to bring about peace? Are they all silent on this great war of extermination? Has civilization and Christianity gone on vacation, and have men lost their reason?
Bold, the nations have gone out with conquest, greed and domination bent on the elevation of the white race, and the complete destruction of the black races. In the face of existing facts, we find, the Christian ministers whose voices are all on these vital questions are preaching to the Negro all over the world saying "Bender to Caesar, the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." Now in the name of Christenham what have, the black

gaces for Caesar? Why, we have nothing for ourselves. Why don't they go and preach and expound these scriptural points to the rulers who have divided and parcelled out Africa between themselves to the utter destruction and degradation of the Negro race?
All these happenings today should help to stimulate Negroes in all parts of the world to unite themselves and work together for the redemption of our Motherland, to stand back of our imprisoned leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is now in Atlanta prison, but whose spirit is more active today than when he was at liberty:
Ethiopia is stretching, forth her hand, Spain can testify to that. France likewise and the whole world will see that might will not overcome right, for God will fight the battles of the weak. Long live the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Long live the H. N. L. A. and may God hasten the redemption of Africa.

Cristobal, C. Zone
From the N. Y. Herald-Tribune
In a further appeal given out yesterday to American citizens, to contribute to the $2,000,000 fund to the used to aid in raising for and educating children of American blood in the Philippines, Governor General Leonard Wood explains that $2,000 of the 4,000 cases on the books of the American Guardian Association of Manila, are desperate, former Governor General W. Cameron Fulkes of Boston has noceptual charisma of the national organization to raise the fund.
The cable message from General Wood, snapped public by Mrs. Mary Fisher Kern, a West Fortish Street, explains that the abandoned children of American fathers and Filipino mothers are growing up in pernicious surroundings.
Both boys, and this became the prey to destructive intiguments, but when properly guarded and educated they show signs of becoming "useful and desirable citizens, striving for American ideals," further says General Woods. In explaining what American citizens in the Philippines have been able to do toward rescuing these hope and gain, General Woods says.
"The whole financial burden, amounting to some $15,000 to $25,000 a year, so far has been borne by the small and heavily taxed American community in the Philippines. It is impossible for the association to assume further responsibilities, with for present inadequate and hand-to-mouth resources. The care of these'children costs $16 per month for each girl and $12.50 for each boy. This provides the supporting at the earliest possible day, simplest course to their becoming self-Emphasis is put on the need of the island for agriculturalists, nurses and teachers, and children with any kind of aptitude are directed to those vocations.

With the skill of regular use, Tom re-started the engine. While it was still making its earliest thrigbs, he sprang blimly to his seat at the back of the car.

Insurance Companies Finance Farmers
WASHINGTON—Life insurance companies have been one of the largest factors in financing agriculture for many decades. They are estimated to hold at present about 20 per cent of all farm mortgages. In 1914 their outstanding farm-mortgage loans amounted to $417,000,000. By September, 1924, the total had amounted to no less than $1,711,000,000. In seven years, from 1914 to 1921, the farm-banks of insurance companies for the first time exceeded their loans on city property. By supporting the life insurance companies owned and controlled by members of our racial group we shall soon have resources upon which we can draw to finance our own home-buying and building. C. P.
