WITH THE WILL TO ACHIEVE, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO THE NEGRO RACE, SAYS HON. MARCUS GARVEY
Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Must we stand still, or must we go on? The Universal Negro Improvement Association says we must go on in the achievement of greater things.
From a disorganized and purposeless race of seven years ago, we have grown into a world organization with a grand and noble ideal. Our desire at this time is that we continue on the prosecution of the ideal until we achieve the success we desire. And what is the ideal? It is that of a free and redeemed African nation to be controlled by the Negro peoples of the world. In climbing up to this ideal we must expect discouragements of every kind; not coming only from those who are directly opposed to us, but even from those who are within our own ranks.
A Work of Reform
The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the emancipation of four hundred millions of Negro people is a work of reformation. All reform movements—and, for that matter, all reformers—have had their time of discouragements, but as for the Universal Negro Improvement Association we are determined that no discouragements shall set us back in the grand and noble cause we have in view. We are determined to climb the Alps of opposition for the higher achievements of the things that are dear to our hearts. All we require to see is a conscious feeling of determination on the part of each and every one who make up the Negro Race. The Negro of today must make up his mind to do or die. The WILL properly exercised will bring about the desired results. The difference between humanity is that some of us have a WILL, a WILL to do, and a WILL to achieve, a WILL not to surrender, a WILL not to give up, and others of us have no will power and always content ourselves with the belief that "it can't be done."
Nothing Impossible to Man
With the new Negro of today there is nothing impossible that is possible to man. If men in ages past have built nations and empires, if men in ages past have freed themselves from chattel, industrial and social slavery, we also as a race must do it today or we must make up our minds to die, to pass off the stage of human action and be buried in the oblivion of the past as a race unworthy to live among God's creatures. If I could get each and every Negro to feel in himself that he is a sovereign human being, that in him are the elements of true manhood, that in him is that human force that stands above the rest of creation, then I will be able to feel that "to go forth is to conquer."
Men and women of the Negro Race, will you not get hold of this belief? Will you not have this confidence in God Almighty created you as a man and as a woman? As a human living God placed you here as the

command, and it is for you to harness them, it is for you to subdue them and use them to your will. Edison has harnessed electricity; today the world reflects the benefits of his genius. Stephenson, through his experiments, has given us the use of steam, and today the railroad engine flies across the country at a speed of 60 miles an hour. Marconi conquered the currents of the air and has given us today wireless telegraphy that flashes news from continent to continent with a rapidity never yet known to man. All this reveals to us that man is the supreme lord of creation; that in man lies the power of mastery, a mastery of self, a mastery of all things created, bowing only to the Almighty Architect in those things that are spiritual, in those things that are divine.
Build Now or Never
Negroes, do you not realize that you are a part of the human creation? Can you not appreciate the fact that what others have done in building up great human monuments in science, in art, in literature, in industry, in government, you can do? When are you going to start? The Universal Negro Improvement Association says you must start now or never. Can you not realize that you are living in an age of activity, in the performance of the supreme human will? This is the time for every individual, every race, to give to the world the best within him or the best within it. Negro, what are you giving to the world? We want not only your physical contribution to indusry as a slave and as a serf and a peon, but we want your scientific, your political and your educational contribution to civilization and to mankind.
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association feel that there is a broad field of conquest open to the Negro; the grand and glorious continent of Africa is still open to us with all her hidden mysteries, with all her undeveloped treasures, waiting on the combined determination of the Negro peoples of the world to demonstrate through her the power and ability of the race to rise from the lowest even to the highest in the achievements of man.
erroneous idea that nothing can be achieved by the Negro except through the leadership, sympathy and charity of others. Oh, how preposterous, how monstrous the thought! Man achieves not by what others will do for him, but by what he will do for himself, and if the Negro is to depend upon others to do for him, he may as well depend upon eternity for a change of his condition. But whenever the Negro makes up his mind to do for himself, even at that hour, he has become a better man and a happier man.
Oh, how I long for the day when the four hundred million Negroes of the world will see the light of manhood, when each and every member of the race will see that his destiny is not shaped by the will of others, but by the will of himself!
The Universal Negro Improvement Association has set the mark for the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Our goal is empire. And why not empire? All men seek empire and dominion, all men seek power. The Anglo-Saxon seeks imperial domains upon which the sun will never set. The German sought empire that was to rise above the past and present empires of the world. The American seeks empire in the way that America shall be the ruling nation of the world. The new Negro in a like spirit seeks empire, an empire that will make Africa the greatest republic, the greatest nation in the world. The new Negro seeks power that will make the Negro a man among men, standing erect to the four winds of the world and saying "I am a man." How many of the four hundred million Negroes will follow us in this ideal?
"Arise and Give of Your Best"
Ah! As you read this message, if you feel not with me, if you feel not with the millions who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association of today then I can say that you are but a coward, you are a weakling, you are a sycophant, you are a slave. As a sycophant, a weakling, a coward and a slave you live, so will you die. I say to you, "rise and give to the world the best in you, and with a unified purpose and determination to rise, a race of four hundred millions who were yesterday slaves shall today become free men." And must we do it? Do what? Build a nation? How? By now uniting ourselves morally, educationally, physically and financially. How must we unite ourselves? Naturally, through organization! And where is the organization? It is here, in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It has been here since 1918, here to stay. All that is necessary for you to do is to fall in line and put the thing over unitedly.
AFRICAN EDUCATION COMMISSION MAKES REPORT ON AFRICA'S RICHES AND NEEDS
Says Africa is "Continent of Great Misunderstandings"—People Progressive. and Country Healthful
New York Times Thinks Sudden Concern for Education in Liberia "Opportune" in View of Fire-
(Editorial In The New York Times.) THE MISUNDERSTOOD CONTINENT
The report of the African Educational Commission, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, sent out to procure definite data as to the educational conditions and needs in the western, southern and equatorial parts of Africa, begins with the statement that Africa is not the "Great Dark Continent" but the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings."
The first of these misunderstandings relates to its resources and natural scenery; the second to its healthfulness and possibilities of sanitary improvement; the third to the "improvability" of its people, and the fourth to the contribution made by the white people to Africa.

Agencies that have been interested in the welfare and progress of the Negro race in America are now planning to establish a useful type of education in Liberia through co-operation with the officials and the representatives of the mission schools. Mr. J. L
The summary of the survey made by this commission asserts that the immense and varied resources of Africa are virtually unknown and that the agricultural and forest possibilities have been hardly touched; that the beauty of the aceremony is in striking contract with the general conception of it as a place of dismal swamps, impenetrable jungles and arid desert; that, while the tragic experiences of North American pioneers have been repeated there, and while certain regions are unsafe for people of the temperate zone, the continent as a whole will respond to modern methods of sanitation and hydlene; that the improvability of the African people has been clearly demonstrated by their reaction to the efforts of missions, governments and commercial organizations; and, finally, that, while in some sections the natives have suffered at the hands of agfish white exploiters, and while many mistakes have been made by those who have gone to Africa with good intent, "the gains that have come to Africa, through the white man are far greater than the losses." To eliminate the white man from Africa would "reverse the most important lessons of history."
Last week announcement was made of the beginning of an educational program in one little corner of Africa where America is generally assumed to have some special moral responsibilities. This is the republic of Liberia. It is about the size of Pennsylvania and has an estimated native population approximating that of Philadelphia. Its governing class, the "Americo-Liberans," are immigrants from America, or their descendants, who have reflected the social customs of the aristocracy of the South before the war in their own attitude toward the natives. The few tens of thousands that have attained to the standards of American and European life in the scattered villages of a narrow coastal strip. Their schools, however, are concerned almost exclusively with preparation for clerical pursuits and government service "of a literary character." No attention is given to the hygienic, agricultural, industrial and social needs of either the American-Liberans themselves or the native masses. It would give disappointment to the promoters of the colonization societies, back in the 20s of the last century, to learn that there are "but an ineligible number of America-Liberans" who are successful farmers, mechanics or professional workers pre-

Agencies that have been interested in the welfare and progress of the Negro race in America are now planning to establish a useful type of education in Liberia through co-operation with the officials and the representatives of the mission schools. Mr. J. L Sibley, who is about to go to Liberia to direct this work, has had experience not only in Negro education throughout the South, particularly in agricultural extension, but in the training of natives in the Philippines. He goes at an especially opportune time, since Mr. Firestone is about to begin his industrial development in the interior. It is a finally conceived and well-prepared bit of plomer work out on one of the last frontiers. It should in time remove many misconceptions about the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings."
BRITAIN PUSHING PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW EMPIRE IN AFRICA
LONDON, Oct. 24: A new policy of empire development, particularly with regard to tropical Africa, was announced last night by Col. Amery, secretary of state for the dominions, as a counterblast to the embargo on dominion loans, which is causing so much dissatisfaction in dominion and colonial circles.
Under this new policy the cabinet has decided to approve in principle the recommendation of the East African commission for an imperial guarantee for loans for the development of an extensive system of transport throughout East Africa up to but not exceeding the sum of fifty millions of dollars.
A bill will have to be introduced in parliament to provide the necessary guarantees and to pay for surveys and preliminary work which is to be begun immediately, and the precise work to be undertaken will be settled after thorough scrutiny of the financial and economic prospects of each scheme put forward.
In East Africa, since the addition of Tanganyika, Britain now has an empire within an empire of something like a million square miles and twelve millions of inhabitants. This great responsibility Britain cannot afford to fail to develop in such a manner that no one can say that she has not fulfilled her duty towards these people to the utmost.
It is expected that the orders for thousands of miles of railway lines will help to reduce unemployment in Britain while other orders for plants and material, will keep many shops busy and later necessitate the expenditure of large sums on maintenance work. The iron and steel and the engineering trades are expected to enlist materially under this new scheme.
U. S. Factory Research Budget Now 35 Million
Washington. Nov. 4 (AP)—Approximately $25,000,000 is being spent annually by American manufacturers in research work. The United States Chamber of Commerce estimated today, and probably $500,000,000 annually is being saved in the conduct of industry as a result.
In a statement describing some of the principal research activities now in progress, the chamber said the majority of trade associations were spending more than $20,000 each annually in cooperative research, and large corporate units were spending much more.
The National Canner Association reported $130,000 as its annual research budget. The Portland Council and National Lakes associations each accounted for $100,000. Heavy permanent investments in laboratories also were reported.
Two Months' Imprisonment to White Man Is Same as Two Years to Natives, He Says, Deprecating Humanitarian Talk
JOHANNSBURG, South Africa.—The Church of England and the Transvaal Scottish were among the institutions which suffered from the trenchant criticisms made recently by Mr. Tielman Roos, the Minister of Justice, at a meeting at Swartspruit in furthrence of the candidature of Dr. H. D. van Brockhuizen for the by-election in Pretoria South.
Many people were making dangerous propaganda among the Kaffirs, said Mr. Roos, in talking of segregation. He did not blame the native agitator so much as the white men who were putting foolish ideas into the natives' heads. If he could only find some way of punishing these white men he would be extremely pleased. He was already trying to curb their activities through existing channels such as the police, but he was also trying his hardest to frame some legislation which would do the same thing more efficiently.
In this respect the newspapers often acted with remarkable stupidity. In cases where a white man was convicted of some offense against a native the papers often set up a bowl about the alleged lightness of the sentence even before they knew the true facts. The Lubeschang case at Standerton was typical. The judiciary investigated the case with great care, and if the papers could have heard the evidence they would have seen the shuridity of their hysterics about a light sentence. It should be remembered, too, that to a white man a few months' imprisonment meant the same as two years' imprisonment in a native.
Mr. Roos vigorously attacked the "High Church England," which he described as one of the greatest inmers in regard to dangerous propaganda among the natives. The Church invariably supported the Press in agitation, such as that which followed the Standerton case, and if some serious trouble occurred among our natives he would not be surprised to find that the bible fell on the Church for the way in which it was inciting them. "Of late," added Mr. Roos, "untillys these clerical gentlemen have annoyed me so much that I would be glad to hold of them by the means I have already indicated."
The French Brigands Shcould Be Thrown Out of Syria
(From The Nation)
It is significant of the realignment of world politics since the Treaty of Versailles that the important happenings of 1823 have taken place in the Near and Far East, mostly manifestations of the rising spirit of independence and resentment against exploitation by Western imperialism. Growing difficulties in India, violent disturbances in China, the fighting in Morocco (westernmost frontier of the Orient), the clash between Greece and Bulgaria, the deposing of the Shah of Persia, and the warfare in Syria, culminating in the bombardment of Damascus by the French—these are not the minor events which complacent Occidentals largely assume them to be—the harbingers of vast world changes which may even destroy or cast into the background the whole fabric of Western civilization. The campaign of the French in Syria has already achieved the international tragedy. The French, it must be recalled, have no territorial rights in Syria whatever. They are there as traitors of the League of Nations and have outrageously violated their trust, having shown none of the tact in dealing with non-European races that they have often manifested elsewhere. It is not enough to recall General Sarrail. The mandate ought to be taken away unless France voluntarily, surrender it. There seems to be considerable sentiment in France for such a step, but as usual the bogy of "national prestige" raises itself. The League of Nations could in no way so justify and magnify itself as by exerting compelling influence or taking summary action in this regard.
It is worth a thousand pounds a year to have the habit of looking on the bright side of life.

To the Editor The Negro World:
Having taken time to give the matter calm and careful thought I desire to know from any one who may read this if I am right in my opinion. A melodrama entitled, "White Cargo," was recently played in this city for three weeks at one of the largest theatres. The play sought to portray the destructive effect of a civilized white man's character and culture of the hot climate of tropical Africa and a local condition called the dry rot. It did not matter how high and noble a white man's 'morals were, how immaculate his manners; all these qualities would in time vanish from African contact and he would sink so low that in his final degradation the would consort with the native Negro women.
In the cast of characters is a man of the Negro race who plays the part of a native servant, dog-like. He is abused, cursed at, called a "nigger" and is driven out from the presence of his master like a dog and seemingly accepts this treatment as a matter of course, realizing his inferiority. Now I know that this is only a play and that the characters are very real, also that this Negro member of the cast is perhaps treated quite different behind the stage. Yet the play is subtle propaganda to impress the large white audiences in this and other countries the grave danger of social intercourse with the Negro.
At the theatre in this city the large white audience seemed to fully agree with the sentiments against the Negro and applauded them vigorously. During one of those outbursts several white persons looked around to see how the Negro section was taking it, and I confess that I had a momentary feeling to shrink from their gaze. It is my opinion that no self or race respecting Negro should, under any circumstance, accept such a part in such a play. Am I right?

ALL ABOUT ONE
DROP OF BLOOD
Refusing to marry as a white man, William E. Jackson, 34 years old, a graduate of Columbia University and for two years a member of the football team there, announced at the Marriage License Bureau in the Municipal Building on Wednesday that he was a Negro. He had passed as a white man.
In revealing his Negro blood he disregarded the objections of Miss Helen Burna of 16 Walnut terrace, Bloomfield, N. J. his bride-to-be. He insisted that if she married him she must marry him as a Negro.
Jackson lives at 18 Lexington avenue, Montclair, N. J. and is head of the Montclair Construction Company. His father is a banker in Brooklyn and one of his uncles a judge in Dublin. His grandmother on his mother's side, however, was black.
Before attending Columbia he was a student at Lincoln College a Negro institution in Pennsylvania. Two Negro families live in the same house in Montclair.
In asking for the marriage license he requested an opinion on his status, and Assistant Corporation Counsel Tarbox ruled that he was a Negro. The license then was granted, Jackson stating that he was born in New York city, the son of Andrew and Bessie Bacon Jackson.
"I am a Negro," he said afterward, "although for many years I have passed in white circles as a white man, I met Miss Burna a year ago."
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, the parents of the bride-to-be, object seriously to their daughter's marriage, but she is obdurate.
"I want to marry him," she said.
"He is a fine man, gentlemanly and courteous, and he thinks of worth while things." I didn't want my mother to know he was a Negro, but the fact that she does won't stop me.
Miss Burns said she urged Jackson to say he was white when he went for the license, but he refused.
New Syndicate Controls African Diamond Fields
LONDON.—Beginning on January 1, 1926, it is said that a syndicate, headed by the Barnato group of London and the Dunkelsohlors of Germany will take over for five years the total diamond production of the famous De Beern, Premier, Jaegerfontein, Congo and Angola mines of South Africa. From these fields three-quarters of the diamonds of the world are produced, of which America imported more than 77,000,000 worth last year. At present between 5,000 and 10,000 may are employed in the South African mines, at an average wage of $20 per week. The new syndicate, it is said, will collect the labor of South African natives, at the equilateral wages attested by the British Ministry of Labour, and under worthy superior working conditions to those herewith existing in the Congo and African states.—C.

"A Devil of an Emancipation Proclamation," He Calls Lincoln's Proclamation Abolishing Slavery—"White Man Would Be Hated in Congo"
DETROIT, Nov. 8.—With a fling at prohibition and genially attesting comments on life in general, Clarence Darrow. Chicago attorney, addressed 1,500 Negroes at a Negro branch Y. M. C. A. today. Darrow is in the city an counsel for Ossahil H. Sweet, his wife and nine other Negroes charged with murder in connection with the shooting to death of Leon Breiner when, police say, volleys of shots were fired from the Sweet residence located in a white neighborhood.
Regarding the Eleventh Amendment Darrow said: "I used to drink before prohibition—moderately. I still drink. The Volunteer act hasn't seen to have the slightest effect on my appetite."
Discusses Negro Problem Darrow said that he would not discuss the Sweet case, but commented that "it is certain that a district built to house 5,000 Negroes will prove a bit too small to accommodate 80,000, now in Detroit. Obviously they must live somewhere. If they move into white neighborhoods they replicate property values. It is true, and I confess I do not know what it is to be done about it."
After commenting on the race problem in the United States, asserting the "man on the ground always feared the newsman" and that "if a white man went to the Congo he would be hated and misunderstood," Darrow took up the question of slavery. Referring to the Emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, he declared it was "a devil of an emancipation proclamation."
Criticism Proclamation
"Did you ever read it?" he asked.
"Well, I told the South it if it quit fighting it could re-enter the Union and keep the Negroes as slaves. Lincoln was not an abolitionist of the stripe of Summer and Garrison. He only resorted to emancipation later. It was not a part of his program from the first."
Recalling that up to 300 years ago a white man was either a ruler or a slave, he said:
"And it may be that without slavery your race would never have had its chance for civilization. You might still be savages in Africa—and as that you might be better off there. But still, I think that civilization is worth the price, we have to pay for it; what the white man paid for his upward struggle that you are paying today."

GREAT UPRISING PLANNED TO DRIVE EUROPEANS FROM ASIA AND AFRICA
Damascus Atrocities Fan-Flames—Pan-Arabian Revolutionaries and Syrians Circularizing Islamic World—Hour of Liberation From Yoke of French, British and Italian Oppression Near at Hand
By GEORGE SELDES In The Buffalo Express.
DAMASCUS, Syria. Oct. 29 (via Cairo to avoid the cenkor). — Documentary evidence of pan-Arabian revolutionary activity against France, Great Britain and Italy, with the objective of a Mohammedan uprising to drive the European powers out of Asia and Africa, has come into my hands.
Secretly printed in Cairo, these documents are being circulated by revolutionary committees in every part of the Islamic world. Following the bombardment of Damascus by the French, a fact which incensed Mohammedans against the Christians and which has turned all the Arabians against the European maniacs below, these documents have taken a most alarming tone. They are received and spread throughout Syria by the "party of the people" of which Dr. Shabainter, now in exile, is the head. Dr. Shabainter some time ago lectured in America and he was connected with the Crane affair in Damascus. The connection between the Syrian revolutionists, the pan-Arabian movement and Abd-El-Krim, leading the revolt against the French, and Spanish in Morocco, is shown in the documents.
The first document, signed "the committee of liberation of Syria," opens with the statement that the French generals Goupdjad, Weygand and Sarrail "are a group of assassins," and declares that "the hour of liberation of North Africa, and Arabia from the yoke of French, English and Italian oppression is near at hand." It says that from Tangier in the Near East to Shanghai in the Far East the Mohammedan people will soon attack their oppressors, and adds: "Our Syrian brethren will follow the example of the Riffana, Turks' and Chinese, and drive out the foreign nations which enslave us.
The second document, signed by the "central committee for the liberation of North Africa," with headquarters in Cairo and branches in all the Mediterranean countries, begins by congratulating the inhabitants of Damascus for their revolutionary attempt. "The patience of Araby is exhausted; the fire of the revolution is blazing on. You have acted like brave men. Help your Riffan brethren. Get the Mohammedan soldiers to desert the French," are some of the sentences in the document, which concludes:
"Death is preferable to the foreign yoke. Acabians, never yield the sword until you have independence."
One of the first-results of the Damascus bombardment is that Nassib Roy Alkabar, educated in a Turkish university, and a member of the People's party, has placed himself at the head of all the handbands outside of Damascus and is organizing them as political bandits. He has 3,000 men well armed. They are directed by the revolutionary committee in co-operation with the Calio headquarters. Although Damascus is cowed and sullen, it is evident that the bombardment of the civilian section has created a big impetus toward the revolutionary spirit of the Arabs which may have dire consequences.
Extreme Brutality Charged To French Soldiers
CAIRO, Nov. 9 (A. P.)—The Syrian Information Bureau has received a report from Damascus, dated Nov. 2, which declares that French soldiers forced an entrance into sixty private dwellings in the Kanawah quarter, taking what they pleased. The frightened occupants fed, seeking refuge in Beirut and in Palestine.
"The soldiers," the report says, "are treating the population with extreme brutality under the pretext of claiming arms exacted by the French authorities.
"In one day 365 dead bodies were recovered from the debris in the Shaghour quarter, and every day additional bodies are discovered.
"The insurgents are at the dope of Damascus, Homa and Hama, and are provoking the authorities by challenging them to open combat outside the towns. They are actually sending such messages by telephone."
The Palestine Zionist executive publishes a report from Damascus under date of Nov. 4, saying: "During the recent disturbances and bombardment the Jewish quarter suffered. About ten houses were burned by the rebels or destroyed by a shell. Thirty Jewish families are homeless."

Within sight as the Sphinx sailed were two American destroyers, walking to protect American citizens in case of emergency.
TURKS REPORTED TO BE MOVING ON MOSUL
Permission Alleged to Have Been Given Turkish Troops by French
LONDON, Nov. 2.—A dispatch to "The Daily Mail" from Beirut, Syria, says large bodies of Turkish troops are moving toward Mosul from Turkey: "The Daily Express" has a similar report. It puts the number of Turks at 5,000 and alleges that the French have given them permission to cross Syria. The report says Great Britain has protested to the French government. "The suggestion is that the French commanders in Syria are favoring the Turkish preparations to check British action against the Mosul boundary.
Official marshers were quick to declare that "The Daily Express" report that Britain has protested to France was unfounded. The Treaty of Angorca between France and Turkey gives Turkey the right to make a certain number of troops across the mandated region provided that a corresponding strength is returned. The British Foreign Office holds the view that as yet nothing has happened calling for protest.
Special dispatches, dated Damascus, November 1, confirm previous reports of the dangerous situation there. The Morning Post's correspondent says public, security in Syria is non-existant. A large area around Damascus is in perpetual turnoff and brigades are creating havoc on lives and property. The situation seems out of hand, notwithstanding the fact that General Gumelin, the French commander, has taken control of Damascus and reinforcements have arrived.
A dispatch from Jerusalem to the National Political League states that guerilla warfare has spread over vast areas in Syria between Damascus and Homs, eighty miles north of Damascus on the railroad, and is menacing French control of the mandated region. Another message says that eleven villages in the Damascus district have joined the guerillas, who are besieging four towns.
Jerusalem reports that foreigners and native women are leaving Damascus by the thousands, but the native men are forbidden to leave. One dispatch reiterates the report that 1,200 prisoners were killed at Damascus when the French bombarded the prison.
Krim His Own Boss—
And the World Knows It
TANQUER, Morocco, Nov. 1 (A.P.)—The brain behind Abd-al-Krim's resistance, a French intelligence officer declares, is a German named von Klems, formerly a captain in the Prussian Guards, who, before the war, owing to a scandal, joined the French Foreign Legion, and in 1921 deserted to the Riffians, and is now serving in Abd-al-Krim's army.
Ten German deserters who entered the Tangier zone recently were placed under arrest. They complained bitterly of von Klems' harmless and brutality, declaring he shot the faint-hearted without the slightest compunction. He is known through the Riff as Hadji All.
The same deserters say the Riffian chief of artillery is a former Serbian colonel. Quit prevails along the front.

SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL GIVES THE FACTS ABOUT THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Nov. 8. A large gathering of followers and friends of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assembled in Liberty Hall at the usual mass meeting, to give their continued support to the movement and to the leaders who are guiding its destinies during the absence of Hon. Marcus Garvey. Day by day the organization looms larger in importance in the eyes of the world because of the tremendous following it maintains despite the many setbacks it has received and which it is doubtful whether any other organization could survive. But it is because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has a purpose which transcends that of any other Negro organization in the good which it will ultimately bring to the race at large, that it continues to grow in favor and strength and draws into its fold all Negroes whose consciousness has been awakened by its preachments.
Hon. G. A. Weston, vice-president of the New York Local, presided over the meeting, while the executive officers present were Hon. William L. Sherrill, Acting President General, and Hon. Levi Lord, Auditor General. Mr. Lord delivered an inspiring address in which he urged Negroes to do more thinking for themselves if they desired to help most in enabling the Universal Negro Improvement Association to accomplish its plans and purposes. He demanded 100 per cent, loyalty to the organization and the leaders who have been designated by Mr. Garvey, saving that only by this means can the association go forward and bring to a successful issue its plans for African redemption. Hon. Mr. Sherrill spoke about the affairs of the Black Cross Navigation & Trading Co., and effected a tremendous rally to the funds of the company to enable it to retain possession of the S. S. Booker Washington.

HON. LEVI LORD SPEAKS
The first speaker was Hon. Levi Lord who said: Again we are assembled in the cradle of liberty, the half which we all have so much and the place where we desire to be. For more than six years since my connection with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I have, accustomed myself to attending the meetings of the organization and at no time have I missed two consecutive Sunday night meetings of the organization. If there was no Liberty Hall for me to go I do not know what I would do on Sunday nights, and I am under the impression that some of you feel that way too. For that reason you come here from Sunday night to Sunday, night and sometimes during the week and you are doing your very best and making your contributions to this great organization.
A little more than six years ago I heard the voice of a man—an idealist—a man I learned to love and a man whom I still love. This man had just given birth to a new organization and I became attracted to it because of the fact that that organization was offering me as a Negro in common with other Negroes, something that no other organization had offered before. That organization was offering me an opportunity to make of myself what ambitious men of other races and nations
have made of themselves. That organization was teaching me that within the Negro race I was just as good as Lloyd George is within the white race; that I was just as good as Kato was within the Japanese race; that I was just as good as Washington was within the race of white Americans, and that in the course of time if the plans and projects of this organization are carried out it would develop for me an opportunity that no other institution would develop. It would give me the opportunity to make the most of myself.
For that reason I connected myself with this organization upon hearing the voice of the great idealist, Marcus Garvey, explaining the aims and objects of this great association. Before I came to New York I thought that I had an education racially and otherwise. But after I had heard the Hon. Marcus Garvey explains the aims and objects and the purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—explain the things which this race has undergone—the many trials which this race has passed through, I came to the conclusion that I really was not educated so far as my education would be of any benefit, to the Negro peoples of the world; and 90 per cent of us will admit—we have passed through private or public schools, whether we have
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925
passed through high schools or colleges—that we had absolutely no racial education until Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the scene. (Applause)
Garvey Taught Negroes to Think
Marcus Garvey has taught the Negro peoples of the world to do some thinking for themselves, and as a result of the propaganda carried out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association—as a result of the education on the part of the Association through its representatives, Garvey is today imprisoned, because he has aroused the sleeping Negro, and caused him to think. My advice to you is to continue thinking. The trouble with the Negro is that instead of using his thought before he uses it after. Step using your afterthought so, pruch and use your forethought a little more and you will move on to success. Your success in the Universal Negro Improvement Association or any association—your success in life is going to depend upon the amount of thinking you do for yourself; your success is also going to depend upon whether your thoughts are sufficiently constructive—whether your thoughts are going to bring you closed together or carry you further apart.
Nothing holds me closer to this organization than the fact that through the avenues, which this Association is opening up, I may be to the Negro peoples of the world what great statesmen have been to England and America and Germany. Some day the ambitions which your boy now cherish may be realized—his ambitions to be a Senator or a Senator or even a President. These ambitions cannot be realized in the United States of America or in England or in Germany but with a organization behind the Negro race and the Negro doing a little thinking for himself, these ambitions in course of time will be realized in Africa. The opportunities which this organization are opening for us will be ours if we follow closely its program and remain loyal to its leader and those appointed by him to carry on the work. Use your thoughts constructively and let nothing divert you from the principles of this organization. Loyalty and allegiance to our leader are mandatory because just as white men, worship their great men so we must realize that the time this course for black men to worship great black men.
Ask yourself the question—what have I done within the last six years or five years or two years, or one year or six months? Have I knowingly done anything to harm this institution which I profess to love so much; have I knowingly said anything that has served as a detriment to this Association; have I knowingly advised any person against the best interests of the Association? I believe that each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should know what to say, when to say it, how to say it and to whom to say it, for the truth told at the wrong time is more dangerous than a lie told at the right time.
SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL'S ADDRES&
Sir William Sherrell spoke as follows: "I must confess, there is no speech in me tonight. There has been no speech in me for a long time. When one's mind is filled with hopes and plannings, perplexities and anxieties, there is little speech in him. And that has been my state of mind ever since I took over the active administration of the affairs of the Association. There is only one man I know of who can worry with all the things of the Association and then come to Liberty
Hall and make a big speech, and that man is Marcus Garvey. (Loud Applause.)
"I want to tell you I am not one bit discouraged, because before Garvey left he had given me a complete vision, as he had given you, of the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I have not lost that vision. The clouds may cover the stars, but I would know they were there because I saw them before the clouds came. The track may seem to close, but I know the track is as wide at the other end as it is here because I have walked the track, and I know it is only appearances. The horizon may seem to sit on the mountain top, but I know it is not there, it is a long way off. And because I have a complete vision of the program of the U.S.N. L.A. and because I know that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has just as much possibility of being put over now as it ever had, because I know that hundreds of thousands of Negroes have placed their faith and their hope and their money into this organization, whether the ship goes up or goes down I am going to stay on board.
A Grave: Responsibility
A Grave: Responsibility
"If there ever was a time in the history of the U. N. L. A. when men should stand on their feet, ready to do their duty and help do somebody else's duty, that time is now. Now there is a very grave responsibility that rests upon our shoulders at this moment. Ever since Mr. Garvey went to prison we have been struggling in every way to hold title to the N. S. Booker T. Washington; we have been struggling in every way we could to avert the loss of that ship.
"Why hold the ship? Why have we been trying to hold the ship? For two reasons, one was that if the ship was lost thousands of Negroes would lose the money they loaned the company. We know there are no Negroes, especially in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, if so, every now, who can afford to lose any money they put into the Booker T. Washington. The second reason is we have been anticipating almost monthly return of Mr. Garvey, and so we are doing our level best at any cost to hold the ship so that Mr. Garvey would not have to do over again the same thing he had struggled and fought so hard to do. And even now nobody knows when their master cometh.
"The Future Holds Promise
"We know this that only in retaining the ship can those who put money on the ship be assured of getting their money back, together with the interest that goes with the loans. We know too, that if we can succeed in holding the ship, if we can succeed in preventing those who are seemingly bent on getting hold of that ship and destroying the Block Cross Navigation and Trading Company, it we can send out on the high seas with cargo doing business it will only be a question of a short space of time before the earnings from that ship will take care of the loans, and the interest on the loans, and the ship becomes a revenue producer for the Association.
After explaining that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company had, shortly after Mr. Garvey going, employed an individual of twenty years experienced in the shipping business, to work for the corporation, and who was still serving. Mr. Shearill informed the mover that the ship was advertised for sale on Tuesday, November 19, in respect of bills for $3,000 for wages of the crew. An arrangement had been made, under which if $3,000 were paid on Monday, November 9, ten days would be granted as an extension period for the payment of the remaining $6,000. This money must be paid, he continued, before the ship can be released. The hour might appear dark, but the darkest hour is just before day. What I mean by that is this. As I have told you, we cancelled the charter party we had because the charterers were unable to keep up with their charter hire. We delivered the ship to them. They were to turn over to us five days after delivery $6,000. Almost twelve days passed without their turning over a nickel, and in the last two or three days of that period we could not even locate the president of the company that had chartered the boat. "We know then that something was wrong and we cancelled the charter.
Delivering the Cargo on Board
"Now the charterers had put on the boat several thousand dollars' worth of cargo upon which it has not realized money. On the charter being cancelled, it devolved upon the company to carry out the charterers' contract, since the boat would be liable to the firm that had shipped the goods for the delivery of the cargo. It means now if we carry out the charterers' contract the company will have coming into its treasury thousands of dollars which the charterers would have made. And we have made arrangements by which the cargo will be delivered in any case, should the company had itself unable, through lack of funds to carry out the charterers' end of the contract."
The speaker then made an appeal for funds, and a little over one thousand dollars were subscribed in loans and gifts.
Mr. William Sherrill thanked the donors, remarking he felt sure other divisions which had been appealed to would do their share.

Great Britain Seeking To Get More Raw Cotton from Nigeria
Great Britain is about to develop its West Africa colonies, which are far behind those to their east and south in production and means of transportation. A railway is soon to be constructed in Nigeria from Vusan to Zaria, nearly 500 miles from the coast. The line will be 120 miles long and will serve a large cotton growing region that has Kenya sent its product to the coast by camels and donkeys. Despite this primitive system of communication it exported last year 21,000 bales and the new route is expected to trip this amount. The work has been approved by the Colonial Office, which is sending William Ormsby there to the spot on a visit of inspection.
A new Governor, Sir Graeme Thomson, is also about to sell for his post. He was entertained at a farewell funeral by the Nigeria Chimber Club, at which Sir Fredrik Lungard, the explorer and former governor of the colony, presided. Sir Graeme Thomson's appointment is as considered as evidence of the Government's intention to order the greatest possible cooperation among all the West African colonies in Nigeria. In his speech the new Governor said he had so many problems in common that a constant interchange of views was necessary. He suggested the panning of a standing transport committee at the Colonial office to consider new developments.
Nigeria is said to offer one of the most promising fields in the British Empire for the growth of cotton. Besides cotton Nigeria exports palm oil, rubber, ivory, hides, ostrich feathers coffee, cocoa and kola nuts. Development of the export trade depends on the extension of cheap transportation, now largely carried by the Bamako Railway, which has its base on the

Explorers Back With More Diposaur Eggs
With several hundred army heads, and a large collection of dinosaur eggs in their luggage, two members of the Roy Chipipian Andrews third Asiatic expedition into the heart of the Globe Desert and Mongolia have returned to this country. They were James B. Shackleford and Leo B. Roberts. With them was Mrs. Shackleford, who had accompanied his husband as far as Pekin.
The dinosaur eggs, they estimate, are about 10,000,000 years old, while the arrow heads are fairly modern dating back probably not more than 5,000 years.

Christmas Trees from Can. Will Now Be Taxed 10%
OTTAWA, Nov. 5.—Christmas trees entering the United States from Canada this year will be dutiful at 10 per cent.
Last year a United States Treasury decision admitted them free an "sticks of wood in the rough". A later decision, say advisers received here, holds that while the word "stick" may apply to a stick of timber, it does not mean a tree simply severed from the gird.
A Christmas tree, therefore, becomes a "non-enumerated unmanufactured article" and dutiful at 10 per cent ad valorem.

President-General Garvey's rallying ery, “Africa for the Africans,”
has got into fiction, but-beiore. it did ‘so itdhad got, inta the cabinet
of every, Eufopean power. The Africans in Africa have taken wp
the cry and are being answered by Negroes‘in: every quarter of the
globe. President-General Garvey’s “The Black Man's Burden” has
come face to Tace with Rudyard Kipling’s hypocritical, “Ihe White
Man's Burden,” and before ‘they, get through looking each’ other jn
th face they will.undegstand each other better. And the two races’
will, let tas hope, be equally benefited by this understanding.

CAIRO. Nov. 5.—When the linen covering and bouquets were removed from the second Tut-ankh-amen sarcophagus today a further sarcophagus was revealed, with a representation of the god Osiris on the covered head and foot, with painted designs and glass of various colors and with a layer of gold on the marble ground. The body sarcophagus, was painted with the wings of the culture goddess Nebuchad and the serpent goddess Butu.
The second sarcophagus was lifted from the basin of the first and when the lid, was removed it, showed a gilt covered human shape, but important details were hidden by the linen. The shape has a necklace of flowers tied to the head bandage and resting on the breast.

CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 5, (By Associated Press).—The body of King Tuk-tuk-hamen has been uncovered, a communique issued in Arabic by the Ministry of Works announces.
Tuk-tuk-hamen's tomb was reopened October 12 in the presence of Egyptian officials. The kid of the first sarcophagus was lifted, revealing another, on which linen coverings and bouquets. These were removed, revealing a work of unexamined beauty. This second sarcophagus bore an array of the god Osiris, decorated from head to foot and embellished with multi-colored pieces of glass.
The sarcophagus itself was covered with a 'thin layer of gold' on a marble ground and adorned with the wings of the serpent goddess Lutin but the culture goddess Nechbet. After this sarcophagus had been scientifically examined it was removed from the first—an extremely delicate operation, as the one fitted exactly inside the other and the ornamentation might easily be injured by the slightest touch. By October 22, however, it was possible to remove the cover from the second sarcophagus, disclosing a human-shaped coffin, covered with a 'linen shroud', which adhered to it. Around the head and chest were a string of beads and flowers.
End of World's Oil Supply In 100 Years Predicted
LONDON, Oct. 23.—The oil supply of the United States will be exhausted in twenty-five years and the entire world's supply in from 80 to 100 years, according to Sir Richard Redmayne, formerly chief inspector of British mines.
He made this statement while giving evidence before the Royal Commission of the Coal Industry here today.
Sir Richard remarked, incidentally, that one authority declared the American supply of oil would be exhausted in twelve years.
Referring to the coal situation, he said the world output of coal is increasing, but that the coal output of Britain and the British Empire was decreasing.
America's capacity is far beyond her actual production, he said, in view of which she must try to capture the British export trade.

COLOR DOMINATION, CURSE OF THE AGE, MUST CEASE NOW
(From the London Daily Herald)
From the main platform at the Church Congress at Bastbourne, yesterday, a former Governor of two great Indian provinces and a turbaned Indian put forward strong pleas against the domination of the white man over colored races.
"The white man has to meet upon terms of absolute equality those whom to put the position quite frankly, he previously regarded as his inferior," declared Viscount Wilmington, who successively held the positions of Governor of Bombay (1913-1919) and Governor of Madras (1919-1924).
The war, he said, had revealed to the colored man that the white man's civilization had many defects.
"With the yearly output of educated Indians we can hardly be surprised at the ever-increasing desire among them to take a large share in the responsibilities of the administration of their country.
"I am convinced that if we wish to continue our association with and exercise our influence on those countries which the white races have developed largely for the ultimate benefit of the colored man it must be in a spirit of absolute equality and not by arbitraging to ourselves the attitude of race superiority which one sees so often at the present time.
"The white man must no longer dominate the colored man, even for his own good."
These outspoken assertions were followed by equally enthusiatic warnings from two other notable sources.
"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."
This was the declaration made by Mr. Shoran Singh, a Christian Indian, who, wearing a turban, addressed the Congress in fullest English.
"What is going to happen in future he added, 'Is not the privilege of color, but the prestige of character.'"
Mr. Singha described his meeting recently with an Indian student at an English railway station after a big football match. Before they saw a big mass of people drunk, rolling about, and swearing, and the boy turned to him and exclaimed, "This is the race in white hands. God has placed the destiny of my people." Mr. J. H. Olhani, secretary of the International Missionary Council since 1921, who has travelled widely in the East, said that while there was nothing whatever in common between Islam and Bolshevism, many leading Moslems were nevertheless against the "whole weight of their ingent, throwing in their lot with Bolshevism, for the sole reason that they felt the Bolshevies treated them by equals, while the Western nations did not.
Source of Blueboard's Great Wealth Discovered
Most of the stories about Bloheard were due to the fact that he obtained immense wealth from unknown sources, ways the Living Age.
He was a commissioned art, he spent money like water, and the rent from his estates could not, possibly have supplied the funds for his expenditures. Moreover, by the time he was 15 he had been engaged to two young ladies, both of whom died, and within three years he had married a third, who presently left him.
Lately, however, the source of Bloheard's mysterious wealth has been discovered. Mineral prospectors and that a rich vein of gold run directly underneath his castle. The mysterious happenings in the alchemist's study must have been largely the smelting of this gold, which probably was obtained by secret mining underneath the castle in the dead of night. But how little good that does the unfortunate baron after 400 years.
Prince's World Tour Revives British Trade
LONDON, Oct. 26. "The greatest salesman Great Britain ever had," was the new title conferred upon the Prince of Wales today by S. Heckstaff-Smith, secretary of the Anglo-South American Association. No drummer, he said, could have stimulated orders as the Prince has done, and the next twelve months, he asserted, would show an increase of from 15 to 30 percent in the South American trade. He declared that as a result, of the Prince's visit Great Britain was getting back much of the cotton and woolen business lost to the United States during the war, and that contracts, some involving several millions of pounds starting annually for several years, had come to Great Britain from the Argentine and Chile.
THINGS THAT COUNT
Not what we have, but what we use,
Not what we see, but what we choose.
These are the things that mar or bless
The sum of human happiness.
Not what we take, but what we give,
Not what we pray, but as we live.
These are things that make for peace.
Both now and after time shall cease.

Have you ever stopped to think
how many things this old world has
used and admired and worshipped
which have proved to be absolutely
worthless when a great crisis arose
to test their value?

Let Us All Together Carry on Where Our Great Leader Left Off
To the Editor of The Negro World:
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is passing through the most critical period of its existence. The association and its aims are being criticized on all sides. Both white and Negro papers always seem glad to publish anything that will discourage the membership or stop the progress of the association.
But the members of the U. N. L. A. have no reason to bow their heads in shame, no matter what is said in criticism of their organization. We are fighting for the right to live on this earth and be respected like the other racial groups. The U. N. L. A. is trying to help the Negro to take the place in this world's affairs for which he was intended by the Creator.
We do not expect to gain our objective without surmounting many obstacles. This could not be with a program so new and so wide-spread as ours. But we know that the greatest of these obstacles will eventually be removed.
Members of the U. N. I. A. must so conduct themselves in each community that they will gain the respect of their neighbors. This will always help the organization. The program of the U. N. I. A. is the greatest which has ever been presented to the Negro and much depends on the way we present our program to those who do not understand it.
Those who do know much about the association and the spirit of the membership, perhaps do not know that we do not consider failure for two minutes. We do not expect to do, everything that we not eat to do. But we know that no such thing as permanent failure can happen to the organization.
Mr. Curvey has taught us to love the program so well that we always consider that before anything else. We know that many inaccurate will have to be made by him and by us and al-

though we cannot help feeling sad over his imprisonment, we know that the thing he desires most is that we do not sit and mourn but cheerfully contribute our energy and our means to carry on the work from where he left off.
The native African is gazing toward freedom with longing eyes. The Honorable Marcus Garvey is teaching us how we may help our brothers. The black man is determined to be free. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is offering a plan to gain this freedom. We must continue to fight with unshaken confidence in the program and the leader. Enemies may do their worst; but the success of the program depends upon our continued faith in it and our continued efforts to put it over.

Dog Run Over. Three Times
Yaps and Departs
Motorists at New Orleans saw near-tragedy followed by comedy when a "just-dog" ran from the curb in front of an automobile and was hurled, kicking and leaping, into the gutter. He scrambled to his feet and started across the street just in time to meet another machine, once more landing in the gutter. Traffic was almost at a standstill as he escaped a third effort, this time to be hit by a bicycle. He lay motionless and lumps rode in the threats of dog-leaving drivers who had witnessed the tragedy. But just as they were about to drive on, a paw moved, then another. Then the victim stood on his four feet. Apparently none the worm for his experience, he yanked one, derisked bark and departed, but not answer the street.

On the Desert
American made automobiles have displaced the slow-moving caravans and the rafts of inflated, skins used to carry produce across the Mesopotamian desert and down the Euphrates River into Persia since long before Christ.
Two years ago the first passenger service was opened across the desert from Beirut to Baudaj, a twenty-six-hour trip by motor, which formerly took six weeks by land and sea. A freight automobile service has been inaugurated. Tuxecabs, carry tourists up and down the Lebanon Mountains, automobiles crowd narrow roads built for camel caravans and the entire population of Syria has suddenly begun traveling about in American minors at a rate of sixty miles an hour.
George L. Stewart, Jr., treasurer of the American University of Belgrade, Syria, who has arrived in the United States on leave of absence, says automobiles are rapidly transforming Syria. Latest statistics show one motor per 150 persons, he says, a per capita ratio somewhat higher than in England or Germany. Jinneys, he says, crowd all of the main roads and automobiles have been especially constructed to take the steep grades in going up and down the Lebanon Mountains.
A French company has been organized to transport freight by truck across the desert. This will do much toward developing the country. Mr. Stewart says. Syria has not been self-supporting as it has served chiefly as a part of entry for Turkey. Possibilities of trade with Iraq and Persia are opened up with the automobile routes. This will do much toward stimulating trade. The chino Syrian experts are such, hides, guns, some wheat and butter. There are tremendous possibilities in the development of the effluent fruit industry, which is now, in its initial stages, according to Mr. Stewart, in the grape-picking wine industry and also in preserved fruits and jams. Practically all of the automobiles, the majority of the oil and gasoline are imported from the United States.

6 HAMPTON, Va. Nov. — Both the Carnegie Foundation and the American Library Association have for some time felt that a school for the training of Colored librarians should be established in the south.
Through the generosity of the Carnegie Foundation a library school has been opened this fall at Hampstead Institute. Miss Florence R. Curtis A graduate of the University of Illinois with an A. M. from the University of Minnesota and a B. L. S. from the New York State Library School has been accrued as its director. Miss Curtis was the director of the school of Library Science. Drexel Institute, before coming to Hampton and has had wide experience both as teacher and librarian in institutions and libraries in this country. Chiga and the Philippines.
The New Library School at Hampton Institute is the 19th school for libraries established in this country since the first school was founded by Dr. Melville Dewey in 1887. Candidates are required to have one year of college training, and their work this year will count towards the degrees of B. B. which will be given upon the completion of four years of college work in the Institute.
A university professor from Australia traveled 12,000 miles to attend the Empire Universities Congress at London only to find that he was a year ahead of time, the Congress not opening until the summer of 1938. A typist's error in the year of the Congress caused the misunderstanding.

The program was as follows: Song by the audience; recitation by Miss Dorothy Skinner, "At Twilight"; recitation by Miss Enfma Taylor; selection by the audience, "The Call"; recitations by Miss Sylvia Ward, Miss Estelle Brown and Miss Rebecca Skinner; piano, solo by Miss Dorothy Taylor, "The Sinner and the Song"; recitation by Miss Vivian Taylor, "The Swise Wrelse." At this point our president introduced to the audience the principal speaker of the evening, the Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters of New York. The Hon. Dr. Peters took for his subject, "The Negro Is a World Power with Whom the World Must Reckon." Dr. Peters spoke eloquently on the necessity of our leaving no stone unturned to secure the speedy release of the Hon. Marcelo Garvey so that he may continue his great work of freeing the Negro from economic bondage. The meeting was brought to a close

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
THE white settlers of South Africa have for some time been making frantic appeals to Europeans to join them in their game of gold-dig, diamond-mine and land-grab, while systematic agencies have been at work advertising Africa "as the land of opportunity"; recruiting select pioneers, and parceling out the land to them to have and to hold. Unlike the westernized Negro, the white man of any nationality has only to hear of mineral wealth and productive soil at any given point, and whether fie swims it, walks the distance or runs it, he will get there; and when heeds there, if it is under the mountain, above the mountain, or down in the valley, he will experiment until he gets it, and holds it by force, with the protection and help his particular government may give. Hence this campaign for new settlers in South Africa is being readily answered by the white race.
Not only is the appeal made with the prospect of reward of wealth to the settler, but the white race is reminded that if a sufficient number are not forthcoming, all that the whites have acquired there, and the improvements in that part of the country, will be lost to their race, because the native is now conscious of the possibilities of his heritage and is determined to cust the invader and hold, same. The London Times, weekly edition, under date October 22, 1925, contains a lengthy article from its Cape Town correspondent, depicting the industries and wealth of South Africa and the work of the Memorial Settlers' Association in settling the new pioneers, but he also points out these trite facts:
"The days of pioneering in South Africa are not over. With the empire facing the vital problem of redistributing its population, they may be said to have only just begun. In the 19th century it was the settler who wanted South Africa. He landed, upon the barren beach of Algaoa Bay, and built the foundations of many townships in the Eastern Provinces; with Rhodes as his guiding star, he trekked beyond the Limpopo and claimed for his own the whole of Zambezia. In the 20th century the positions are reversed; it is South Africa that wants the settler. She needs him, not primarily, because she sympathizes with an overcrowded, industrially tormented England—it would be a mistake to credit her with too broad a spirit of generosity—but because she is in dire peril of "going back" a few generations hence unless the pioneers can be found who will emulate the hard activities of the 1820 settlers or the northern Voortrekkers." The dream of a white South Africa will be shattered because the natives have translated the slogan of Marcus Garvey into all dialects peculiar to them, and the tom-toons are beating out the words "Africa for the Africans and Europe for the Europeans," while the jungles (?) take on new life at the occasion.
If the Negroes of the Western world would but heed the cry of our leader, and rally to the support of Africa, as the Jews are doing for Palestine, Africa for, Africans would not be consummated "a few generations hence," but the educated, industrious, ambitious Negro could set sail for home, and hastily bring same to pass. Then white men would be treated with the same courtesy and respect as they accord black men domiciled in their respective countries, granting to the former the same right to trade and commerce as is permitted by international codes; the white race would remain white, and the Negro race pure and untainted: America would be rid of "the race problem" and Africa be governed by Negroes, for the benefit of Negroes: such is the dream of Marcus Garvey. And it is a dream which will come to pass, whether miscegenationists like it or not. It is God's plan in His apportionment of the earth.

White Woman Doctor Gets Federal Post
Grace Abbott, chief of the children's bureau, United States Department of Labor, announces the appointment of Dr. Blanche M. Haines as director of the division of maternal and infant hygiene of the bureau.
Dr. Haines, who is a graduate of the Woman's Hospital Medical School of Chicago, is believed to have been the first woman municipal health officer in the United States. Recently she has been in charge of the educational material and infant hygiene work in Michigan, and earlier in her career served as chief medical examiner for an insurance company.
Chief among the duties of Dr. Haines's new position will be the work of administering, in co-operation with the States, the provisions of the Federal maternity and infancy act now in operation in forty-three States and in Hawaii.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925
Sex Embarrass Political Leaders by Their Honesty
One of the curious and amusing things in this world is that there remain in it so many people who continue to argue pro and con the merits of woman suffrage. Women have been voting throughout the United States only five years. In no State have they voted for more than fifty-six years. Men have voted ever since the foundation of the Republic, and even in the days when we were still a British colony.
Yet at no time during that long and difficult period of nation building is it recorded that symposiums were held in which men were called upon by other men, to say nothing of women, to justify their exercise of the suffrage.
Never have men asked themselves, and never have women asked them, whether, in their use of the vote, men were showing themselves effective for the public good, whether they were raising the general tone of politics, whether they were making definite contributions to the successful operation of government, whether they were inclined to think and set independently of personal or family considerations, in what offices or branches of the government they were blowing themselves best qualified to serve, and whether, above all, men making good in the political world could be and actually were proving themselves to be good husbands and fathers.
Both Have Same Ideals
Men wanted, fought for and won the right to vote in order to establish not necessarily a better government, but one in the creation and control of which they might have a part and which, for that reason, they preferred as meeting more fully what they conceived to be their needs.
And yet women, who wanted, fought for and finally won the vote for exactly the same reasons that men wanted and fought for and won it, and whose right to it rests on precisely the same foundation, continually are called upon to prove the excellence if not the superiority of their use of the franchise as compared with men as the only reasonable justification of their possession of it.
In the present stage of our progress toward that shining peak of achievement, women have made a record in politics which abundantly justifies, if justification were needed, their demand for a share in the government under which they live.
Sex Discrimination
So far their energies largely have been, and for some time to come should be devoted to removing the discriminations against women which in every State in greater or less degree hamper them in their personal and public lives.
When one remembers, for instance, that in some States, as in Iowa, it still is impossible for women to sit in the Legislature, and that the bar has only recently been removed in Maryland, Delaware and Oklahoma. It becomes at once apparent that the success of women in winning and holding public office by no means rests exclusively on her qualifications and abilities as a useful public servant.
That women make useful public servants, when given an opportunity to serve, no one would deny in the face of the records made by such women as Mabel Walker Wilkbrandt, Assistant Attorney General of the United States; Judge Florence Allen, of the Supreme Court of Ohio; Judge Mary Bartelme, of the Circuit Court, Chicago, IL; Judge Kathryn Sellers, of the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia; Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of the State of New York; Mrs. Jennette Hyde, of Utah, collector of customs at Honolulu; Mrs. Mabel Reinecke, internal revenue collector at Chicago; Mrs. Bessie Parker Brueggeman, chairman of the United States Employer's Compensation Commission; Miss Julia Lathop, who organized and for nine years headed the Children's Bureau, in the United States Department of Labor, and Miss Grace Abbott, who in 1921 succeeded her in that office; Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the Women's Bureau; Miss Mary M. O'Reilly, assistant director of the Mint, United States Treasury; and Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, lieutenant of police and head of the women's department of the metropolitan Police Force of Washington, D. C.
Women want, and mean to have, equal control of their children, their property and - their earnings; equal citizenship and inheritance rights and equal right to make contracts; equal opportunities in schools and university, in the professions and industries, and in the government service; equal pay for equal work, equal rights after marriage to their own identity, an equal moral standard, and equal control of national State and local government.
COUNTESS KAROLYI
REFUSED ENTRY IN U. S. A.
COUNTESS KAROLYI
REFUSED ENTRY IN U. S. A.
(From the New Republic)
As we go to press, Countess Kareliy is being asked a series of questions by a "Passport Consult" in Paris which "lead, her to believe that Secretary Kelloge's refusal to admit her to this country may or may not be final." Evidently she answered them satisfactorily. It is now the State Department's turn to answer a few questions. Why and just where, are the United States so weak that they must be afraid of the opinions of one individual? What ground is there to suppose that Countess Kareliy is a communist, or that, if she were one, she would be likely to want to sap our foundations, or to succeed if she tried? Is it not true that the chief objection to letting the Countess in is that she is capable of revealing some unpleasant truths about a government which hopes to keep our political and financial support? Isn't the American State Department acting as the rubber stamp of the healthy government? Isn't the science of the State Department partly explained by the fact that the truth in this case would be far from dattering to itself?
Leaving aside for the moment the matter of the gross injustice of not admitting Countess Karolyn, Americans ought to be angry at a student who when asked reasonable questions only behaves like a stupid Splinger. The State Department is the instrument and not the master of the American people, and as such it has no right to withhold perfectly ordinary information. Of the hundreds of insultable questions fired at it in the course of the Karolyn affairs, which threaten to become chronic, practically none has received an honest answer. Plainly the State Department is afraid, for the country - which is quite capable of surviving any, propagandist of any color, and for itself - because it is vulnerable and know it. The State Department ought to be hulled over the coals of public opinion, until it begins to squeak out its confession of indecisivity, stiffness and timidity.

"Four years and a half ago," Landman told police, "I decided to become a stenographer because I wasn't physically able to "no hard work."
After finding it hard to obtain employment as a male stenographer young, Landman declared he decided to dress as a woman.
"I had no trouble at all getting work then," he said.
"I have since then associated with girls as a girl."
"If that fellow I had a date with

ONE WOMAN-DIPLOMAT IN WASHINGTON, D.
She Represents Irish Free State
The only woman diplomat in Washington, Mrs. A. L. Macfean, is the second secretary of the Irish Free State Legation. Her appointment is evidence of the important part women are playing in the politics of the Emerald Isle. Of a true Irish type, charming and vivacious, Mrs. Macfean sparkles with the genuine Irish wit.
She thinks American women have wonderful freedom—a freedom which they do not use, that they are still aspiring to political and civic achievements which women of other countries have already gained. She points out that the Irish Free State hosts one woman deputy in the Dáil, which corresponds to our House of Representatives, and three women in the Senate.
It is her belief that American women, thus far, have given no real evidence that they are interested in voting. Nor does she approve of our recent epidemic for appointing to public office the widows of deceased statesmen, although she is in favor of the appointment of able women to any office in the United States Government.
"Ability, not sentiment," states Mrs. Macfeat, "should determine the election and appointment of women to office." At the same time she expresses herself as believing that the United States is fortunate in the type of women now in public office.

Two women are registered in the School of Dentistry of the University and seven in the College of Arts and Sciences, several of whom plan to study medicine. One of these students is Mine, Ussan Abuïd, a wealthy Muslim woman from Egypt, who is so much interested in raising her sex to a position of equality that she has determined to study for a number of years before giving her life to writing and work with women's societies. Her husband is肄肄 in the School of Commerce. Women were first admitted to the American University of Delaware in 1923.

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

NOTES OF INTEREST
When Germans blew up French villages or dropped bombs on London districts these same American newspapers boiled with indignation. That was a part of war—always cruel and savage—but fought by nationals who at least had the excuse of patrolism. In the case of these American soldiers of fortune there is no excuse except the joy of the man-hunt. It is royal sport, and the fact that women and children who have the misfortune to have been born in these Rifkin villages are victims means no more than the death of rabbits when one hunts big grouse. The Christian Century.
Children Are Imitators
"Children commonly put to be what we consider the 'right thing,' because they fail to understand what is desired of them. They have not been adequately instructed, they have misunderstood, or they have lacked intelligence to understand or to understand well. We must not forget that example is stronger than precept, and that many of the undesirable activities of children are the result of imitation of other children whose social training has been neglected or unsuccessful."—Dr. A. Dale.

The muscles are singularly free from liability to diseases which commonly affect other tissues, this being the results, probably, of their activity, good blood supply, and the changes consistently taking place in them. Wasting of muscles sometimes occurs as a symptom of disease in other organs—for example, damage to the nervous system as in infertile paralysis, or in the disease known as progressive muscular atrophy. Myopathy, also known as muscular dystrophy or idiopathic muscular atrophy, is the term applied to a somewhat rare condition in which wasting takes place, in certain muscles, with or without previous increase in bulk of these muscles, and apparently with out any affection of the nervous system.
The cause of the condition is still measure, though the disease appears to run in families, being transmitted, like some other hereditary diseases, by two mothers. Generally the disease appears early childhood and it seldom affects persons over the age of twenty. The changes which are found after death show that a simple wasting away of the muscle fibers takes place and that these are in some cases to a great extent replaced by deposits of fatty and fibrous tissue.
Symptoms—There are three types of myopathy. The comminent known as pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis, affects particularly the upper part of the lower limbs of children, the muscles of buttocks, thighs, and calves seem excessively well developed, but nevertheless the child is clumsy, weak on his legs, and has difficulty in picking himself up when he falls. In another form of the disease which begins a little later, as a rule about the age of fourteen the muscles of the upper arm are first affected and those of the spine and lower limbs become weak later on. In a third type which begins about this age, the muscles of the face, along with certain of the shoulders and upper arm muscles show the first signs of wasting. All the forms have this in common, that the affected muscles grow weaker till their power to contract is quite lost. In the first form the person sebum reaches the age of twenty, falling victims to some disease which would not be serious to one who is not affected thus; for instance, such a mild attack of bronchitis which their feeble frame is incapable of resisting. In the other forms recovery is said sometimes to take place.
Treatment - The nutrition must be exceptionally well maintained and various tools are of use. Message, elec-
tricity, and expiration of fatigue, are of the utmost importance, and, above all, care must be taken that these injuries are not worsened unduly as they succumb easily to chest affe-
cations.
INTERNATIONAL RALLY FOR THE FINANCIAL AID OF THE PARENT BODY
Universal Negro Improvement Association $50,000
Every loyal Negro should donate to the Fund to help the Greatest Negro Organization in the World.
All donations will be acknowledged in this paper, and donations of Five Dollars and more by letter.
The Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, now makes an appeal to its members, divisions, branches, chapters and friends to rally to its support in helping to raise Fifty Thousand Dollars for liquidating urgent demands on the Association for the promotion of its work.
The expense of running the Organization for the good of the race is tremendous. Expansion work must be done and current demands must be taken care of. The fight for African's redemption is a costly one, and must be borne by members of our race. We need money now more than ever to carry on the great organization Marcus Garvey founded for the redemption and salvation of the race. Everybody should help. If you give us $10 let us have it immediately. These who can give us $10, $25 or $60 will be greatly thanked for their patriotism and loyalty.
RENT HEARINGS BY COMMISSION BEGUN IN CITY
Housing Commission Will Hear Evidence and Make Recommendations as to Extension of State Law, Which Expires February Next
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—The Commission of Housing and Regional Planning today will begin in the City Hall its hearings to determine whether the housing emergency is still in existence and whether the rent laws, due to expire on February 15, 1926, shall be permitted to lapse.
Because of the expected size of the crowd which will attend the sessions they will be held in the Aldermanle Chamber, the largest room in the City Hall. Representatives of more than a score of tenants' organizations, which have made investigations in their various localities, are expected to appear today with pleas for further protection against high rents and the availance of landlords.
The emergency rent laws, amended from time to time until they attained their present form, were passed first in 1820, in the days following the war. It was then impossible for rent payers to move to escape exorbitant charges, as there were few or no vaguely. This was partly due, to the embargo on housing construction in effect during the war.
The laws were due to expire in 1924, but were extended for all additional two years by the Legislature of that year. Last March the Housing Commission reported that the emergency was still in effect. The last Legislature took no action, because its successor, meeting on next January 2, has time to act.
For several months the commission has been conducting a survey of the situation as it is at the present time. The only opinion expressed thus far has been that the commission "does not know" whether it will recommend to Governor Smith and the Legislature extension of the laws as they stand, a revised system of protection, or no law at all. It is believed its position will be made clear this week.
Following an investigation by the World last month, tenants began to organize to demand extension. The consensus—with violent exceptions on the part of many—was that the extreme housing shortage of post-war days ended, but that the existence of the rent legislation for the last five years had created a situation in which it would be unsafe to remove all safeguards, and leave tenants at the mercy of possibly vindictive landlords.
Clarence S. Stein, chairman of the Housing Commission, has made it clear that everyone will have an opportunity
to testify. Among those who will be heard in addition to the tenants are representatives of various real estate boards, justices of the Municipal Court; who have been charged with interpretation of the rent laws, and housing experts.
Mr. Stoln said the strict laws of evidence would not be followed at the hearings and that witnesses would be examined by their own attorneys if they so desired. All cross-examination, however, will be done by the members of the commission. Walter Pollak of the law firm of Engelhard, Pollak, Pitcher & Stern is special counsel for the hearings. The hearings probably will continue all week.
When Congress meets in December one of the first measures for consideration on their already bulging calendar will be the amendment proposed by the General Federation of Women's Clubs making it possible for the United States to have, uniform marriage and divorce laws. This because Government census figures show that divorces have increased by leaps and bounds in two decades—to be exact, nearly 100 per cent.
Senator Capper of Kansas summarized a bill in the last Congress providing for a constitutional amendment which would empower that body to pass a statute unifying marriage and divorce. The bill died with the Congressional session.
This year, backed by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, representing 3,000,000 organized women over the country, the bill will be reintroduced and pushed.
"Mrs. Katie Trenholm Abrams, chairman of the legislative committee of the federation, states: "The startling way in which the severing of marital bonds is growing is awakening thinking women of America to a realization of the fact that something must be done. It will take a long time to add another amendment to the Constitution but it can be done when organized women get behind it. "There are forty-five varieties of marriage laws, in this country and forty-eight sets of divorce laws. These complicated laws cause, no end of domestic and legal entanglements.
"The new bill would make the marriageable age with consent of parents 16 for girls and 15 for boys. It would prohibit the marriage of the feeble-minded, the diseased and the pauperized; it would demand licenses and witnesses and the mutual recognition of marriage among the States." And concerning divorce, it names infidelity, cruel treatment, abandonment or failure to provide, incurable insanity and the commission of an infamous crime as grounds."

Woman's College at Constantinople Has High Enrollment
Enrollment at Constantinople Woman's College is the highest in the history of the institution. The college opened with 328 students, one-third of whom are Turkish. This increase in the number of Turkish students is indicative of the growing freedom of Turkish women.
The Bulgarian registration was also high, as thirty new pupils registered. The enrollment was as follows: Albanian; 2; American; 5; Armenian; 58; Bulgarian; 80; English; 8; Georgian; 1; German; 1; Greek; 7; Hungarian; 2; Italian; 2; Persian; 7; Rumanian; 6; Russian; 22; Serbian; 1; Syrian; 1, and Turkish; 120.
That women, are undertaking the various branches of agricultural work and making a commercial success of it is indicated by the membership list of the American Woman's Association. Among its members this organization has two farmers, a horse raiser, a poutry raiser, a dairy cattle specialist, a horticulturist and an orchardist.
What Is Genius?~
"I presume that there is something which you can naturally, with the accumulated skill of your racial inheritance, as naturally as birds build posts and bees build honeycombs. But that does not mean that you can't improve on your genius by practice, and by training your talent.
"Talent and genius must be well matched, to run the machine successfully. Genius is the power, the juice, while talent is the mechanism. In great genius there are often many talents related in a group so that the man might have been 'successful' in many fields. Michael Angelo was a poet and a sculptor as well as a great painter. And see how many talents Theodore Bossevelt had, and how intelligently he used them."—Mary Austin.
Negro War Veteran Now State Civil Engineer
NEW YORK, Ct. R. B. Hammond, whom Uncle Sam called from his studies at Howard University for World War service, after being honored with a first lieutenant's commission, plunged into the European conflict no matter thinking that he would see the good old U. S. again. Young Bramon, like many others, was spared, however. He returned to school and obtained his degree in civil engineering and was forthwith appointed, after competitive examination, as a civil engineer with the New York State Highways Commission, with whom he has made an enviable record on survey and construction work. Bramon was in the first civil engineering class graduated from Howard University, and his rapid development, along with that of his classmates, means that the inclusion of competent Negro engineers in this important profession will grow larger and larger with time.

Dance to Follow; in Aid of the Mcrtgage and Build-
Prof. S. B. Chase will present a musical drama and dance at Liberty Hall, 129 West 135th street, in behalf of the mortgage and building fund of the N. I. A. on Thursday, November 12, 1925. The principal characters of the drama are well known active members of the association. The drama is original, being written and staged by Prof. S. B. Chase.
The synopsis of the story is as follows: Mr. Blingan, a native of Monrovia, Liberia, came to the U. S. A. at the age of ten and entered college. His only sister, Doruma, is left in Monrovia. After many years in college he became a minister and married one Florence Trout, who bore him three girls and one boy. James, the oldest of the four children, having grown into manhood, became the parents' favorite, so much so, that he was intrusted with the family's estate. During this time James becomes infatuated with an actress by the name of Nina and is contemplating marriage, unknown to his father and mother. She is of luxurious intent and has a craving for wealth which keeps James continually drawing from his income.
The Rev. Blingams sister, Blingams during his absence, has become a Princess, so she writes her brother to come to Monrovia to teach the natives. The Rev. Blingams then decides to go to Monrovia, taking with him his wife and three daughters, leaving behind James's son, to take care of the estate. James having spent all or most of his income on the actress finds himself in actual need of funds to finance his marriage while his parents are absent. He then asks Claud, a sort of an assistant, but an accomplished rogue, to follow his mother to the wharf to steal her bag that contained money and deeds. His mother, missing her bag before sailing, puts the police on the case, and then resumes her trip to Monrovia. On arrival in Monrovia the Rev. Blingams sister, the Princess, gives the Blingams family an elaborate reception, and during the celebration a telegram comes to them from America that the lost bag with money has been found and that James, their son, has contended taking the Blingams behind the theft. This then quickly forces the family to return to America. On their arrival James is brought face to face with his father, who denounces him and orders him to be taken back to jail. However, after much pleading by his mother to the father to forgive him clamens, the young man is then allowed to join the church, leaving theogue Claud to marry Nina. He decides to rejoin the family, and to happiness once more returns to the home. The cast follows:

For fame I do not care a whit;
For gold I would not strive;
And as for nations that may rule—
Let those that will survive.
My duty is to do my best
For those that suffer, sore oppressed.
What though an Anglo-Saxon I?
Mine eyes can look beyond
A nation's pride, the army view
That struggles past its bound;
I see their millions beaten back
In the machine-gun's ruthless track.
Each day my daily bread I take,
I think of those unfed;
The homeless thousands that must
room.
Nowhere to lay their head.
A not, a loaf will do for me
Lest I should burden those unfree.
O mansion-bolderes that didain
the hungry, homeless host.
Within the leisure bowers may pace
the heathen's tortured ghost;
And in thy garden paths may lurk
the angry phantoms lashed to work.
Talk not to me of "heathen rule"
While underneath its heel
"Supremacy" is trampling man
With many an unfair deal.
If on to doom, it proudly goes.
Why should I rease the wrong it some?

Federal Children's Bureau Reports on Two Years' Work Infant Mortality Reduced Cost of Health Less Than One Cent Per Capita Annually
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—The examination of nearly 600,000 infants and preschool children in the fiscal year 1921 and 1925 was reported to the Children's Bureau of the Fulton States Department of Labor by States co-operating under the Federal Maternity and Infancy act, according to a statement made here today.
Forty-three States and Hawaii are co-operating under this act, which provides Federal aid for the promotion of the welfare of mothers and babies, Vermont, Louisiana and Rhode Island having accepted during the fiscal year of 1925. The States not co-operating are Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maine and Massachusetts. The Children's Bureau made public today an official report covering the State accomplishments during 1924 together with additional figures for 1925.
These diuresis show that, in addition to the examination of babies and young children at the child-health conferences, maternity and infancy activities during 1924 and 1925 included the holding of 2,669 prenatal conferences attended by approximately 75,000 women, classes for midwives with a total attendance of approximately 40,000, the holding of mothers' classes with an attendance of more than 162,000 mothers, and the organization of over 5,000 "little mothers" classes. The number of child-health centers established was 1,769, the number of prenatal centers, 155. Although centers, are, for "well babies," the report states, defects are frequently found which require correction before the child is free to gain a maximum of physical fitness. Defects most frequently encountered are refractive errors in the eyes, nasopharyngeal growths and abnormalities, orthopedic defects, glandular enlargements or insufficiency, dental caries, malnutrition always the large percentage in every group).
Children are always referred to family physicians for the correction of these defects, if there is a physician. A few States have arranged for clinics at which defects may be corrected by a staff physician or a specialist. Some States furried estimates of defects corrected during 1921, ranging usually from 20 to 40 percent. The Children's Bureau also reports as to the cost of the act and the total appropriations, National and State, spent in accordance with its provisions. The act authorizes, $1,210,000 annually for five years (the five year period ends June 30, 1921), $50,000 of which may be spent by the Children's Bureau for administrative and investigative purposes.
From 1924 appropriations the States accepted $318,280, from 1925 funds (up to October 1, 1925), $345,827. During the fiscal year 1924 the Children's Bureau spent for administrative and investigating purposes $35,578; during 1925, $12,972. Estimates on a per capita basis show that Federal appropriations for maternity and infancy work cost annually less than 1 per cent. per inhabitant of the United States.
Commenting on the report of work done under the act, Grace Abbott, chief of the Children's Bureau, said:
"The provisional figures for 1924 of the vital statistics division of the Bureau of the Census indicate a substantial drop in the infant death rate for both urban and rural communities in the United States birth registration area; but even with this improvement the infant death rate in the United States is higher than in Australia, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the Irish Free State, and no state in the

United States birth registration area has so low a rate as New Zealand. It is quite evident, therefore, that the United States can not afford to shacken its interest or reduce in any way the intelligent expenditure of funds to lower the death rate among babies.
"A report on maternal mortality, which will be published soon by the bureau, shows that a very high percentage of the losses are due to preventable causes. It is, therefore, especially important that the program for prevention of the unnecessary deaths, in childbirth should be pushed. Here too, the United States lags behind many countries.
"The United States Government is expending at the present time less than $1,000,000 a year in subsidies to the States for the promotion of a health program for mothers and babies. Great Britain is expending nearly five times that amount."

TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE HEART
(Concluded)
In 1953 a Mr. Harvey, master of a little town on the south coast of England, had a son born, and he named this child William. Young Harvey grew up to be a short, round-faced, black-haired, and black-eyed, hastily-tempered young man. He went to college in England and then was sent to that romantic city of Padua, in Italy, where he could get the best medical instruction then to be found in the world. Here he made a striking record. When he left there he returned to England, married in two years and became a lecturer of unusual force. He will this Dr. William Harvey, who first proved that the blood circulates in a continuous stream throughout the body, and is propelled by the force of the heart muscle, which contacts and relaxes rhythmically. This discovery was the basis for almost everything we know about all the vital processes of life.
Nowadays we all know that the thumping which we feel beneath the ribs and the breast bone on the left side of the chest is the heart, "the central pumping station" of the body, and that it pumps, not water mixed with spirits, but blood. How many of you know when your pumping station first started heating? In order to reach some understanding about this heating of the heart we must first know something about the blood which it causes to circulate. Why should we have blood to begin with, and why is it necessary for it to reach all sections of the organism?
Blood has been termed the "viral fluid." It carries in liquid form the nourishment derived from food and as it passes along the various tissues of the body selects whatever particular nourishment they may need. Blood also carries oxygen, which is essential to the life of all the cells which make up the tissues of the different organs. It collects waste material and discards that in the proper places where it can be eliminated from the body. It kills the germs which menace the integrity of the body.
The blood is a fluid in which float about twenty-five trillion red cells, called red blood cells and tiny specks or colorless diks named white blood cells. Each of these three parts—the fluid, the red cells and the white cells—has its own work to do for the sake of the life of the body, and this I shall discuss in the next article.

NEGRO IN AMERICA CAN HELP AFRIC
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 21—Africa of
fews illicitable opportunities for infor-
mance and guidance to well-trained
American Negroes, capable of leadership, according to Dr. D. Westermann, professor of African languages in the University of Berlin, who is now 1 America studying the status of the race in this country. As missionaries educators, and agricultural and industrial leaders they could render the greatest service to the natives, who are still innocently below the standards attained by the colorate people of America.
As an illustration, Dr. Westermann mentioned the very valuable work done some years ago in German Togoland by five graduates of Tuskegee Institute who were employed by the German government to instruct the natives in the production of cotton. Partly as a result of their work, Africa is fast becoming one of the great cotton-growing countries of the world, and the native growers are profiting accordingly. In the field of religious efforts, the work of Max Yergen, an American Negro, sent out to Africa some years ago by the Y. M. C. A., is exercising a very wide influence and is favorably known on three continents. Westermann, a former missionary to Africa and in close touch with conditions, believes that there are similar opportunities for great usefulness in many lines and that well trained American Negroes, desirous of going to Africa in the spirit of service, would be welcomed both by the natives and by the colonial government.
Dr. Westermann expressed great gratification at the high degree of education, character, and material prosperity attained by many American Negroes. He was particularly struck by the ability manifest in the efficient management of Tuskegee Institute and of the great Tuskegee Hospital, which he recently visited.
To know man, we must approach them as we do any other subject matter, with an opened mind. The Southern white man is inappropriated to approach the Negro with an opened mind. Hence, cannot learn him, while the Northern white man, not having so much prejudice, and realizing that the Negro problem is one of public interest, approaches him from a different view point. The Southern white man is blinded to facts, and those who can see, and who are willing to give the Negro credible and consideration are usually stigmatized by their own people. So much so, that we rarely ever get his version.—Oakland Informer.

Odio del oriente al occidente
El odio y temor del oriente al occidente se observa en los últimos acontecimientos sirios después del bombardeo de Damaseo por los franceses.

Los politicos estan urgiendo medidas especiales para resguardar el prestigio de la Gran Bretagna en sus posiciones y magnatos en el cercano oriente, especialmente en vista de la reciente apelación del ejecutivo del congreso sirio-palestino a la Liga de Naciones en el oriente, con jurisdicción en-Siria, Palestina y el Libano, para mirlos bajo un solo gobierno en la federación de estados arabes.
Los millones de miembros de esta organización de un modo unísono continuan su preparación, para aprovechar la primera oportunidad que se presente en el transcurso de los acontecimientos humanos, y libertar la raza del yugo opresor. La evolución de estos acontecimientos ha de traer como resultado un mejoramiento en la condición actual de nuestra raza, no habiendo sido estos instigados por el negro, sino debido ello a la intriga de los otros pueblos en la simisión y explotación de los pueblos débiles.
La deposición del Shah de Persia y la llegada al poder de Reza Khan, primer ministro ruso, mientras establece una nueva forma de gobierno en Persia, se ve también aquí como un movimiento favorable a Inglaterra. Recuerdase que la Rusia soviétia ha tratado desde hace tiempo de obtener una influencia dominante en Persia y se erece que la deposición del Shah ayuda a Rusia y quizás retarde las esperanzas británicas de mayor influencia en los dominios del Shah. Incidentalmente, se hace hincapie en que el Shah probablemente no dará pasos para readirquir sus dominios. Informase que vive enamorado de las mujeres, el jungo y otras diversiones ofreciadas en los balueros de Paris.
Organicémonos, preparémonos más eficientemente con el objeto de llevar a la práctica el programa de nuestro movimiento. Aspiramos a la victoria y debemos obtenerla; ambicionamos nuestro propio gobierno y debemos constituirlo; anhelamos libertad, verdadera libertad, verdadera democracia. Esperando a que los otros pueblos nos concedan los derechos a que somos acreedores, transcurrirá una eternidad; tenemos para ello que prepararnos y obtener estos por medio de nuestros propios esfuerzos.
Informase que aumenta la guerra de guerrillas en la región Damasco y que los insurgentes han ocupado seis pueblos y obtenido requerzos de 16 aldeas y nueva tribus de beduinos.

Olvidaremos a los enemigos de esta causa justtficada; ignoraremos aquellos que han tratado de interceptar nuestro paso hacia la meta de nuestras aspiraciones. En toda época las razas y los gobiernos han tenido sus traidores; nada extraño es el que la nuestra sufra la misma inconveniencia, pero en lo sucesivo hemos de prestar mayor atención a ese germen destructor que corroe el sentimiento humano, exterminándolo con el virus prepotente de nuestra determinación.

El hombre en todas las edades ha tratado de aventajarse de la ignorancia y de la debilidad del otro hombre para beneficio propio, pero en esta época de adelanto la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha puesto coto a esta clase de política de engaños, y ninguna propaganda, ya sea esta política, religiosa o social, será aceptada por el negro del presente, sin antes haberse hecho un estudio minucioso de su propósito. Pertenecemos por ley natural al reino que nos iguala a cualquier otro ser existente, por el hecho de estar dotados de la mismas cualidades físicas. Todos los pueblos, todas las razas luchan por su enaltecimiento; nosotros con el mismo derecho luchamos por el enaltecimiento de la nuestra.
La carta del señor Canibal general Primo de Rivera, ha sido diversamente comentada en Barcelona donde se la supone por algunos como producto de una maniobra concerta con el general Primo de Rivera, para ayudarle a salir aiosamente del problema de Maríecos, donde la situación, no obstante las versiones optimistas, continúa precompilo al directorio. Sobre todo en su aspecto económico, el problema es grave todavía, pues la cantidad total gastada en los últimos meses de operaciones ascienda a un número muy importante de millones, que hará diticilisima la aspirada reducción en el presupuesto de guerra y marina.
El estancamiento 6 retroceso de nuestra raza significaria su destrucción; su avance en el camino del progreso determinará un medio de vida mas apropiado. La era en que vivimos coloca a las razas y a las naciones en posición de progresar 6 retroceder según su grado de adelanto. Sus intelectualidades estan sumamente compenetrado de ello y es su deber el ilustrar con hechos prácticos los medios más apropiados, para la solución de los grandes problemas que afectan directamente al género humano. Estos deben inspirar en las masas de los distintos pueblos la confraternidad universal, cuyo resultado será un mejor entendimiento entre todas las razas, entre todas los gobiernoos.
Esa circunstancia hace comprensible que le sea grato al presidente del gobierno que un, hombre del prestigio nacional del señor Cambo abogue abiertamente por el abandonismo, pues asi caso de no encontrar otra salida a la actual situación africana, podría variarse el actual punto de vista del directorjo, antiabandonista, apoyandose en las demandas de los sectores financieros y económicos de la influencia en el país que representa la opinión del señor Cambo.
Pedirá su independencia en un plebiscito
Los pueblos fuertes afrontarán grandes inconveniencias al tolerar la inmiscuición en sus asuntos de los pueblos débiles, desarrollandose la lucha consiguiente de exterminación.

En una reunión del partido se preparó el proyecto, que sera presentado pronto a la legislatura ingular. Los que se oponen a la independencia, de Filipinas han dicho que los filipinos no desean en realidad la independencia y que el movimiento independista está respaldado solamente por los políticos.
La dirección de la raza debe inspirar en las masas de nuestro pueblo el sentimiento de amor, amor para con nuestro hermano en raza. Los que iluminan el camino con la antorcha del progreso deben sostenerla muy en alto, sobreponiéndola a las múltiples pequeñeces humanas y sulema debe ser simple y exclusivamente la harmonia tan imprecindible en la adquisición del objeto anhelado. Unión es el medio que nos ha de constituir en ejército prepotente, para cruzar los campos de oposición venciendo a cada instante ha dificultades que nos afronten, en nuestra marcha hacia la omancipación de una raza y la redención de una patria.

THE LIFE OF MARY C. BURTON
¿ y quien es el ? Un hombre, un artesano, un anónimo que rompio el molde atavico del nucleo y con sello de caracter firme, pensó en el trxinfo y a costa de miles, afanes y penalidades llamo a las puertas del Exito y tomó asiento entre los escgidos ..... Su padre fue un hombre humano y aquella, su madre amantisima fue una criolla rebelde, digno ejemplar de aquellos boriques legendarios, todo corazón, con un alto concepto del honor y de la altivez de la raza indiana
Producto legitimó y con todas las caracteristicas de sus progenitores vino a la vida José Negreón Cesteros. En contraposición al medio ambiente de la época conquistá méritos incuestionables en la escuela y en el taller. Rebelde a las circunstancias abandona el torno y en peregrinación cerebral lo venos trifar gallardamente bajo la tutela del gran Booker T. Washington en Alabama. Tomía por asalto a Howard donde el médico conienza a perilarse y en busca de mas dilatados horizontes la famosa Universidad de Jawa le confiere con soiannidad de elegido el título de Dr. en Medicina y Cirugia con el que le venos imponer en la gran urbe neuyorquina. Asi se trifunia. Porque el ucer rico, y gozar de las bienandanzas que trae conisigo el dinero para salir airoso ostentando un titulo universitario es más que natural y logico. Todo viene a medida del interés y la escala social se amasírapiones del que todo-lo puede y todo lo tiene.
Mas venir pobre a este mundo y traspasar los limites de la pernia con infina confianza de si mismo como lo ha hecho el Dr. Cestero es un exito notable. Es un legitimito triunfo.
La colonia latino-americana tiene en este joven galeno un digno representante.
*Loor al bien puertorriqueño!* Miles de años de vida al médico y grandes honores al humanista.
Vallan estas lineas desinteresadas como debil tributo al médico más popular con que contamos los humildes en esta ciudad del dollar.
Doctor Cestero, bien gifeden las deudas materiales no pagarse a su vencimiento; pero las deudas morales . . . esas deudas son eternas.

DERELICTION OF DUTY IN NIGERIA, AFRICA
By J. M. STUART-YOUNG
VIII.
We all ate with zeat. The drenching
we had received, the brief spell of
intense cold, our swift movement through
the air, and finally the change of app-
pareal and consequent renewal of vitality,
had made us almost voracious. We
devoured everything before us. We had
to replenish the tea-pot four times.
Once more Gomersall exuberant spirits, overflowed. He owned a splendid tenor, and he had always delicately in trying the acoustics in any strange building in which he might find himself. His voice rang through those bamboo rafters in "Friend of Alice" to such effect that he could have been heard half a mile away. Had it not been Saturday afternoon, and the school children all away in their village homes, we should have indubitably had a crowd of listeners. We other two joined in heartily; and we were still singing justly the songs of home when we entered the lorry, and were making our way toward the river.
This is the heart of Owverri proper, and in the stream played and wrestled half a hundred young Africans. These youths and maidens ceased their sport to raise a shout of gleeing. They waved glorious hands to us, as we flashed past. Just, as heartily and cheerfully we responded to their instructive, good nature.
"Doubtful kildies, this new generation," commented Gomessill. "I feel confident—looking at the old folk and guessing at what they must have been in their youth—that better hygiene, a medicalism of education and the energizing contact of us white folk is being into being" a much finer breed of African.
Only Hardcore seemed to demur. "So long as we do not go too far with the clerical side of our training," he confessed. "I will grant that there is truth in what you say. But in many parts of Nigeria we are teaching young people to despair manual labor. That way has truerely. 'They may soon become restless, and menacing as the Egyptians and the Indians. Education is the worst problem of overseas government."
"I don't think racial discontent probable. Hardcore. I broke in hashtag, "prouded we are always just. It depends on the material upon which we are working whether we make silk purses or sown ears. These Nigerians, on the whole, are a gentle and courteous nation. They are far more mailable, far more tractable than either the Egyptian or the Indian."
"Yet that is due only to the Negroes' ages of slavery," expostulated Gener-sall.
"I do not believe that slavery is the cause; it is in instinctive trait of the West African's disposition to be respectful. Have you never noticed how susceptible our present servants are to our feelings? They never willingly wound or offend. Once they have grown to appreciate white man's fashion' they are quick to liberate our idiosyncrasies. They respect us, even when our habits are the exact opposite of their own. That cannot be said, now can it, of white people in their relationship to native nation? Look, for example, how we ride rough-shoot over their customs and their fetish." Hardware modeled his agreement, although with subjective
"I am not denying their good parts," he said gravely. "But I do fear that we are making a rod for our own backs in forcing the pace. This hot-house treatment of the pikka lushman is fundamentally wrong. Why should hewers of wood and drawers of water he taught to write? We are pushing civilization down the African throat to such a tune that it may eventually choke him."
Gomersall burst into his heartfelt guffaw.
"Oh, come, Hardacre," he reasoned. "Civilization can never choke a man. It may give him a severe dose of indigestion—that will be about the worst. And we have always the Epsom Salts of Festina Lente with which to pit the African's internal economy to rights."
I interposed to ask quizzically, "But what do you two happen to call Civilization please?"
"Why, this sort of thing, answered Comersall, placing his hand affectionately on the radiator of the lorry. "Speed—energy-power—the skill and the knowledge of How to Do It—and How to Do It Right Now!"
"But is that all?" I retorted. "What about the real enjoyment of life? Of dignity? Of quietness? Of self-esteem? What of a sufficiency, of leisure in which to know one's own soul?"
"Oh, chuck transcendentialism, old boy," cried Hardacre. "Even though I may criticize, I am willing to admit that Civilization is infinitely better than Barbarian."

route. It was fastened with in-unamable knots, and there were tabs of cloth, each of a distinctive, color or pattern. In this primitive manner does the native identify his farm land. "There you see the owner's age-old ju-fu. Could anything be simpler? He does not need to pay a watchman, night and day, to protect his property. The inmate superintention, the 'inherent respect for tradition, the power to believe in a watching deity or series of dotties—all these render personality info from attack. Each native feels himself inviolate. In this sense alone the West African is born honest. Remember that he remains so—until we civilize him! Then his sense of Megm and Tuum receive so many shocks that . . . well we know how easily and rapidly the Native Court Clerk becomes rich, and how he acquires both houses and lands, before making a precipitate retirement from Government Service?"
Hardcore' shrunge'd his shoulders.
"You merely corroborate my opinion that education must be applied judiciously." I will grant, you the inborn qualities. For the African, taken on the whole, is a gentleman—kind, courteous, honest and truthful. It is the ultra-civilized specimen that I cannot tolerate. However, I will give you the last word. I believe that I can tell you what it is—children!
I laughed, "A very palpable bit!" I quoted, "Yes children! That is the one thing we white people should never forget. In physique and mentality (after education) the African Negro may be as adult as any race in the world. But in morals. In experience, he remains essentially childlike. When he is cruel, it is only with the unthinking cruelty of the child—never with that cold-blooded hostility which characterizes Eastern people. When he he is unmatured, it is because—in a childlike manner—he has accepted something as his natural due and does not feel called upon to express thanks. Through it all, moreover, he is ignorant and genuine. He has not the slightest three of hypocrisy, and he lies only in fear or self-defense. Let us take him as he is and he jolly well thankful he is not much worse!"
We had just been breasting a hill. Now we reached the summit. Before us lay a long straight road with Elder grounded about it on both sides—no more than ten miles away. The sun had again become scorching hot; and our talk drifted instinctively toward the inclinences of English weather.
"I have always noticed that feature of overseas conversation," remarked Gomersall. "Do you know, I can best appreciate a Christmas yarn—a yarn of the real good old-fashioned sort, with dress of snow, bonnies of holly and heaped-up big trees, when I am swithering beneath an African sky? I dressey folks at home smuggle closer toward their glowing hearts, whenever they read a story of the South Seas. Funny, isn't it, how contradictory we humans are? Wasn't it Oliver Wendell Holmes who adjourned us to carry a few mountain-peaks in our mind? I wonder why he did not suggest that the man who lives far inland must scup up the sea and bear it in his soul? By the way, can you follow sniff it well? We are put more than thirty to forty miles from the Coast."
Of course, we could not assert that we discerned any difference in the breeze. The air was robust only of seep, found, powerful, in" to be derided. But Gossall continued to banter us. "Imagine you two tradesmen having been cooped inside Little Ontario for two and three years on end, without one glimpse of the Atlantic in all that period."
"Ampios your remarks about Oliver Wendell Holmes, Gossall." I break in. "I seem somehow always able to tell whether a writer is of English or South extraction. An Englishman's style is generally like a shade of South Country—much lighter than Jones, fragrant fields and shady village greens. It reeks of the hotness and brazen Take Macauley and Caldwell two extremes. Here you have contemporaries, working almost side by side. But Carlyle impresses me as a high peek, with show on its summit, and with a tumultuous stream leaping down its side into the wake below. Macauley is purely a green pasture, artificially patterned by man's handwork in the form of ornamental gardens. Like you, I would carry the autocrat's dictum further, and say that no man is wholly a man, unless (like Eva Gore Booth and her "Wayes of Flying") the way he go tumbling through his heart."

Subject: "The Supernatural Powers of
the Soul." Text: Pe. 8:4-5
(Continued from last week)
—This may be, done by reasoners sometimes, wisely or unwisely, as a convenient accommodation to some philosophical theory, but with that, at present, I have nothing to do; but it is very often done, and I think not without danger, in the interests avowedly of what is called "common sense." Now, common sense—meaning the attitude of mind or taste of character by which a mind is saved from emotional exaggerations, and enabled to see with tolerable accuracy the real value and bearing upon one another of the ordinary facts of life—common sense, which hinders men from being carried away, in concerns of daily interest by foolish tamperism or distorted notions, is in the highest degree valuable to us all. It is scarcely likely to be depreciated in a community such as this great commercial city, where we pride ourselves upon its presence where so much of it is needed, and, on the whole, so much is to be found. But this shewed perception of the range and value of visible facts, this method and power of measuring the weight, and testing the worth of all things by their evident and immediate utility, by what may be called their market value, by their power in producing quick and needed returns—this faculty, or best of mind, which is eminently important which is at least respectable in the things, the necessary and useful things of the world, maybe, too often, is very seriously mistaken in the concerns of another.
What is *commonly meant by the phrase, "a religion of common sense," is altogether dangerous and detestable. It is hittily, less than masked worldliness. It is a system of narcotics for soothing into fatal slumber a struggling soul; it is a device for robbing man of his dearest treasures. There is, indeed, a
common sense. It be exercised in the versions of faith, but then this faculty, illuminated and quickened, does not single distinct matters in inextricable confusion, does not argue "because such an action does not bring immediate payment here, therefore, it is of no value for eternity." In the sphere in which it finds its premise, there it looks for its conclusion; it deals with matters of another life as sorrows and practical realities, as practical and infinitely more sorrows, than those the common sense man of business in New-York deals with such as imports and exports of the country as the rise and fall of the stock exchange. When worldly concerns, and the vanishing interests, of today are allowed to stop the way of eternal things, with a calm, as unimpassioned straightforward, it asks to be informed of the "fall bone."
There is a grave danger in substituting the "natural" torale the "supernatural" in the nomination of the Christian in the interests of a supposed "common sense". For common sense views of spiritual realities are often the outcome as they may be conversely a cause of a worldly mind. Worldliness is a poison which may creep into any class, into any soul. The church does not exclude it more necessarily, than the counting house, - it steals in everywhere; and wherever it enters a corpse, the religious instincts and tents, like a powerful acid, to gnaw into them and eat them away.

With Faith and Courage We Must Win
To the Billion of the Negro World.
Members of the U. N. I. A. have reason to be proud of its phenomenal growth and progress. We must not become discouraged because things do not always go our way. With faith in God and everlasting courage we must win.
Marcus Garvey is trying to show us the way. He is working to accomplish the things which he knows will help us all. No Negro in the world ought to rest at ease until the great aim is accomplished. If we will unite and push the program we will finally rid ourselves of the fettering chains which have been placed upon us by the white man.
We must labor on and wait. If each of us does his host, success will come, and we hardly know how we obtained it. Everybody can help. Let us start today to do our bit.

Vast Difference Between Citizen and Servant
To the Editor of the Negro World,
I have been a member of the U. N. L. A. and a follower of Marcus Gurley or many years. The shape of the organization "Africa for the African" was the first thing to draw attention to the splendid program Mr. Garvey was giving to the Negro. I am unable to understand why any intelligent Negro would not be able to see the advantage of uniting as a people and forming a nation of our own go that we might be able to hold our heads up.
Anybody can see the difference in being a citizen of our own republic and being what we are now, the convants of other groups. Many mklykbarries lie between us and our objective, but that ought not to discourage us. History tells us of many peoples who were much lower in the economic scale than we are, who have risen to the top.
It is very remarkable how the idea of Negroes reclaiming and directing the affairs and economic development of their homeland has taken hold of the members of our race since the coming of the Honorable Marcia (Garvey. Those who have followed him from

JOSEPH: CROOKE.
Sanche, Rep. of Dominica.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I was interested in the recent comments of King Amosh on the program of the U. N. I. A. It was reported that he said that the program of the U. N. I. A. is a bishopary one which can never materialize. It occurs to me that if the plan of the floridale Marquis Garvey is wrong, then the visions of the Pilgrim Fathers were also wrong.
This King also said that it grieved him to think that we were not considering Africa. This when the U. N. I. A. is considering Africa more than anything else. The putting over of the program of the U. N. I. A. under the leadership of the Honorable Marse Garvey is the aim of more than ten million Negroes today who are determined to succeed or die trying.
We cannot expect everybody to agree with our plan at once. Even today, as old as Christianity is everybody does not believe in it. But because a few people are slow to take hold is no reason why the program will fail. Garvey is in prison; but Garvey's spirit is still here. It lives and encourages his followers. If Garvey should die this same spirit would live right on to encourage us.

Co-operative Farming Splendid fcr Cuba
To the editor of The Negro World:
The residents of Sola have shown much interest in the suggestions of Messrs. Silveright and Campbell in recent issues of The Negro World concerning cooperative farming. Members of the organization in this community have suggested that it would be well if a conference could be called and plans laid for putting into effect some of the suggestions of these two gentlemen.
The inaugurating of some scheme of cooperative farming, would prove to be the salvation of many of our farmers in Culis. With the members of more than fifty divisions in Culis combining their efforts to one end, great things ought to be accomplished.
A company 'could be formed' and shares sold. We would soon have enough to start and the rest ought to be easy-sailing. Nothing can be ac-

ATLANTIC CITY - Residents of May's Landing, county of Atlantic County and regulated South Jersey headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan, turned out last Saturday afternoon to the number of 7,250 to pay tribute to the late John W. Underhill, who for years had been the only Negro resident of the town. Underhill started his business career as a barber and amassed such a small fortune in real estate that he mined the villages of May's Landing by leaving "more than $100,000, which, he directed in his will, should be used for the improvement of the village and for a playground and gymnasium for the children. Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic clergymen took part in the funeral services, and county officials acted as pallbearers. Lawyers and judges came from nearby Jersey villages to pay tribute to the abilities and charisma of the deceased Negro resident, who was posthumously acclaimed May's Landing's greatest public benefactor.

What the Duke of the Abruzzi Has Done in the Development of Somaliland—Italy Turning to Africa for Outlet for Surplus Population
By MARQUISE DE FONTENOY
In The New York Sun
Italy's completion within the last
few weeks of the occupation of Somal-
land, which was the scene of her first
venture of importance in African colon-
ization and which first came under
her flag in 1859, serves to call attention
to the services, the Royal Prince
Louigi of Savoy, Duke of the Abrazz,
has rendered in developing this region
of the Dark Continent.
At the outset Italy's actual occupation of Somalia land was restricted to the central and eastern portions of the country, and she was satisfied with merely a nominal protectorate over the remainder, especially the northern territory thereof. Now, by means of the treaty with Great Britain whereby the latter last spring reimbursed to Italy some 50,000 square miles of territory on the south of the River Juba, and through the extension of her military and economic occupation of the northern portion of Somalia, Italy is well established in her East African Empire which expends from the Gulf of Aden in the north to the British Colony of Kenya, in the south, embracing a great stretch of the East African coast extending over 1,000 miles.
No one has done more to bring this about than the Duke of Abruzzo, who is so well known in America as an explorer of the polar regions, of the mysterious valleys and plains leading to the north of Mount Everest, jortions of the Himalayan country until then untrained by white men, and as the first maintainer to make the ascension of the until then inaccessible Mount Ehlas in Alaska. Of a most active and restless character, imbued with the most ardent and patriotic eagerness to be of hosting service to the nation, the Duke of the Abruzzo was yearning for something to occupy his interest and ambitions in the period of reaction from the four years of excitement of the world war, in which he had greatly distinguished himself as a naval commander in the Adriatic. So he determined to identify himself with the future of Italy, Somaliland, and to convert it into a source of wealth, instead of an expense, to his native land
He embarked a considerable portion of the large fortune which he and his two brothers, the Duke of Aosta and Que Count of Turin, had inferred from their enormously wealthy Belgian mother of the meditated formerly petty sovereign house of De Mordez to the development of the late re-
