Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: I always deem it time well spent to recite for your information and guidance the planks of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the institution of which I have the honor to be the founder, and which, by common consent, is destined to make this world in which we move a better place for Negroes to live in. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in its program seeks to emancipate a race and redeem and declare for the freedom of a country—a country that is very much desired by the ruling powers of the world. It is because of this desire that they spend thousands of dollars writing about us so that they can have a proper understanding, and get a proper interpretation of the real aims and objects of this movement. But in the seeking of knowledge of the aims and objects of this movement there springs 'up a counter-propaganda to distort and disrupt the minds and Opposition Was Anticipated Those who lead the movement are sufficiently conscious of the fact that the things that confront us now in the shape of propaganda, in the shape of opposition, are the things that we knew naturally would come in the life and career of the association. No general can lead an army successfully across the wilderness of opposition without anticipating the enemy; therefore, those who lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association anticipated long ago the moves of the enemy, and that is why we are not shaken by their actions today. You who follow and you who make up the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must realize that the fight for racial existence is the most strenuous effort of the present century. It is this consciousness that causes the Irishman to fight as tenaciously as he is fighting for the preservation of himself and his homeland; it is that consciousness that causes the Jew through the effort of the Zionist movement to make such a fight towards the restoration of Palestine. You yourselves must realize that the great opposition that is hurled against us as a people is in no one section, but throughout the world, in your every-day contact with the world. You meet it at your work place; you meet it in the street car; you meet it in the subway; you meet it in every step you make—an organized, sinister opposition of the Suffering Gladly—For Africa Redeemed Founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who is now denied his liberty so that Negroes shall be free world against races and people who are not strong enough to resist and to hold their own. An Effort for the Survival of a Race The effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is only an effort for the survival of the race to which we belong. The fight of the Universal Negro Improvement Association differs from the agitation of other Negro movements in that we seek a national life, a national existence of our own, as we know it to be the only solution of the great problem that confronts us. As long as Negroes are the minority in a majority civilization without being able to stand behind their own resources, without being able to stand on their own feet, so long will injustice and oppression continue. Those are the things that the Universal Negro Improvement Association realize, and that is why the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association makes no effort to solve the problem by a domestic adjustment between the races, because there can be no such adjustment; there can be no such adjustment between a strong and a weak race. When the strong desires a thing to make him strong and the weak desires the same thing to become strong there can be no adjustment between the two individuals. So long as there is this proportionate difference between black and white in countries, so long will discrimination between black and white be kept up. As far as the things that matter are concerned, there can be no adjustment socially; there can be no adjustment industrially or economically; there can be no adjustment politically except an adjustment that will keep the minority race oppressed and down. Independent Power and Strength The only adjustment that will lift the race—the only adjustment that will protect a race—is that adjustment that gives to that race an independent power and independent strength which that race can call upon and invoke at any time in its own protection and in its own behalf. That is where the Universal Negro Improvement Association differs from all the other organizations in the world. A thousand years from now it will not be any different from what it is now, unless Negroes realize the naked truth, and embrace the principles of the U. N. I. A. It is for this race of ours, which suffers in common throughout the world, to come together in one united effort and build up a government sufficiently strong somewhere (and there is no more logical place than Africa) which will render us the protection we will not get by any kind of adjustment. I desire Negroes throughout the world at this time to hold fast to the principles of our grand and glorious Association, whatever betide. This is your refuge of last resort. Weaken or falter now, and you consign generations unborn to I know not what depths of misery and suffering and degradation.

GARVEY means that no Negro on God's green earth is safe. Why He Was Sent To Atlanta So therefore, some of you outside the pale of this organization who shrug your shoulders nonchalantly and feel that it does not really concern you whether he stays, in fall or not, you ought to get another thought coming, because the same thing that happened to Marcus Garvey will be visited upon you even more quickly. Some of you who do not read the Negro World do not know for what reason Marcus Garvey was put in Atlanta. You have seen headlines in some papers, particularly Negro papers, saying Garvey robbed the Negroes, and so forth, and that is all you know about it. But it is well for you as thinking Negroes to get busy and start thinking now that there is a world of meaning behind Marcus Garvey being put in prison. The Mouthpiece of the New Negro Marcus Garvey expresses the opinions and the feelings of the new Negro, the Negro who is determined to live like a man, the Negro who feels that God created him as a lord of creation with equal opportunities as any other race of people, if he will only grasp them, and, this new Negro under the leadership of Marcus Garvey is not bending on his knees alone, is not sending petitions alone, but he is demanding, he is making a place for himself in this world, and because of the expression of this new Negro coming from the mouth of Marcus Garvey, that is why Marcus Garvey has been silenced and put away in Atlanta Penitentiary. Much Is at Stake If Marcus Garvey had been just running a little grocery store, if Marcus Garvey had been just running a haudy, if Marcus Garvey did not talk about Africa, if Marcus Garvey did not dare to tell the world that four hundred million Negroes wanted a place in the sun, they would have never silenced Marcus Garvey. And if you are to sit quietly by and allow Marcus Garvey to spend five years in prison, then your doom is sealed, because other Negroes are looking on. And if you cannot support an aggressive and progressive leader, regardless of what other people say, then it means no other Negro is going to make the spiceful that real leadership entails. The speaker ended with a stirring appeal to her hearers and to Negroes of the country to lift their voices in unison and secure the release of Mr. Garvey. REV. J. D. BARBER'S APPEAL Rev. J. D. Barber, a member of the Marcus Garvey Release Committee after giving a brief account of his recent activities in the field in the nation-wide effort to scrape the release of the President-General, took charge of the lifting of the collection. The response to his appeal for funds to finance the campaign was very gratifying, several hundred dollars being raised in a few minutes. BISHOP McGUIRE'S ADDRESS Dr. George A. McGuire, primate of the African Episcopal Church, spoke as follows: "I understand that this is a meeting, not of protest, but a meeting of appeal; not to find fault, not to throw stones, not to try to unde anything that has been done, but to go higher than the realm of those who have already acted, to go to the individual of last and highest resort, to beseech him to use executive clemency in granting to Marcus Garvey a pardon at the earliest possible moment. "And suppose we could reach him before Christmas! Oh, what a Christmas that would be! (Applause). Not merely to the five million Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but to the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Why, the cables would burn with the glad tidings and Negroes would feel happier for that Christmas tiding than for any other, with only one exception, the tidings that the angels brought the first Christmas morning when they said, "Unto you is born this day in By JENNIE PINCUS In The Daily Worker NEW LANO, Louisiana, Dec. 18. Most of the Negroes in Louisiana live on the low, marshy land in the southeastern part of the State. Here is where rice and cotton are raised. Here live none but the poorest and hopeless class of whites as well as blacks. They live in one-room or two-room wooden shacks. In most of these shacks such things as glass windows or even wire screens are a luxury unattainable. During the summer the hot sun comes in freely—so do the mosquitoes. During the winter the rain becomes a seasonable guest. When school opened, I noticed three little colored girls doing the washing for a neighbor instead of going to school. Upon inquiry I learned that the nearest school was four and a half miles away. But there was the school bus, it stopped for some children down the road. "That's just it." I was informed, "school buses don't stop for colored children." When asked if they wished to go to school, these little girls explained that as soon as the cotton picking season was over, they would try to walk to school, but they explained when the rainy season sets in, the muddy roads kept-them from going to school, that's how it was last year. I decided to pay a visit to the principal to the local school. When I state my errand, he looked at me with mingled surprise and contempt. He was the principal of the white school—and had nothing at all to do with the Negro children. However, I might go and see Mr. Bertrand, the the city of David a Savior, that is Christ, the Lord. Nothing Is Impossible "Some people say that is impossible, but with, God nothing is impossible. When Pharaoh refused, to let God people go, overnight Jehovah stretched forth his hand, and one in the house of every Egyptian was shain, and Pharoh sent for Moses and Anon and said, "Take these people and hurry out of here." So God moves still in a mysterious way, and it is still possible that Marcus Garvey be in our midst before the end of 1925. "However that may be, I trust that the two reasons which I am going to advance tonight for an appeal to President Coolidge may have such a hearing and result in such action that long before the snow melts in the spring-time of 1926 Marcus Garvey may walk out of Atlanta a free man into the arms of those who love him. Still the Beloved Leader "What is the first reason? My first reason is that Marcus Garvey is still, though behind prison bars, the honored and beloved leader of one-third of the Negroes in the United States of America, to say nothing, of the millions in the islands and in the homeland of Africa. For one-third of the Negroes in the United States of America are members, of the Universal Negro improvement Association, and he is still our beloved leader. We loved him when he wore his uniform, we loved him when he wore his evening suit, and we love him if he is in prison stripes or not. (Applause.) And of these five million Negroes, one-third of the Negroes living in America, ninely percent of them members of this organization, are naturalized or native citizens of the United States of America. What Is the U.N.I.A.? They tell us that the U.N.L.A. is a West Indian or alien movement; they have never left New York; they have never left Boston, where West Indian stop when they come. You see, we like to see the waters; we like to see the boats come in and receive those who come after. But when you go to Chicago, as the acting president-general has to do, when you go down to Missouri, when you go to Cincinnati, when you go into the solid South and out into the far West where foreign Negroes are counted just like the fingers on your hand, then you give the lie to all these people who say that the U.N.L.A. is a West Indian movement. Ninety percent of these five millions of Negroes in America alone who are followers of Marcus Garvey, whether their names are on the membership books of their locals or not, are citizens of this country, and because he is the acknowledged leader of five millions of Negroes living in America and citizens of America, they have the right to ask the President of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1985 local member of the school board. Mr. Bertrand was the town's banker, so I could go right to the bank and inquire for him. Having found the bank and the gentleman—I proceeded to acquaint him with my mission. "You know that niggers' school does not open until the cotton picking season is over," he informed me. Yes, I knew that. But how will the children get to school? It is four miles away. "Is education compulsory, in this state?" I asked. "Yes, but they cannot compel any child to walk more than two, and a half miles to school. And neither can we expect the parish to provide separate conveyances for every child." When I informed him that the school bus passed the home of these children, and when I suggested that the same bus carry the black as well as white children, this new violent' banker attested, and very curly informed me that they don't "mix them down here." To my question as to the reason they did not provide country schools or school buses for these children, he answered. "Because we have all that we can do to provide for the white children. The parish is too poor." "Do-Necroes pay taxes on their property?" "Yes, but there are very few who own any property. Those taxes were not enough to provide their children with schools, buses, etc. And besides, he informed me, he was only one of the school board. The parish school board meets at Jennings, 25 miles away. I have written to them, but, of course, I do not expect any action to be taken, nor even an answer to my letter. United States to give clemency to the leader that they acknowledge, love and honor. (Aplause.) Loyalty Unquestioned "For we love him with a love that is undivided. It is with a loyalty that is unsurviving that we stick to Marcus Garvey wherever he is. Our loyalty cannot be questioned: Whatever newspapers may say, whatever articles may be written here in Harlem, whether within our membership or outside our membership, and carried down to the Evening World, to go to other paper, whatever these papers may write about our loyalty, the answer is given here this afternoon. Looking at the meeting over there at Salem Church on the adjoining corner where Clarence Darrow speaks and where there are more people on the outside than on the inside, one would think that coming here there would be an empty church and empty pocketbooks. But we have a crowded church and we have willing hearts and, as Dr. Harber has said, clean hands, to give, our clean money for the release of Marcus Garvey. Garvey's Incarceration, Negroes' Humiliation "We don't mind what others on the outside say about the waning of our loyalty. There are five million Negroes who regard Marcus Garvey's incarceration as their humiliation, and I want to say that it is not the humiliation only of the five millions of us in the United States that wear the Red, Black and Green, but it is the humiliation of the other ten millions, whether they know it or know it not. To have a man of his capability, to have a man of his repute, to have a man who has done so much for humanity, whether white or black, behind prison bars on a technicality is a disgrace. I think it is a shameful disgrace, indeed. To have a man who has given the best in him for the last eight or nine years for the welfare of humanity at large and especially for the welfare of his own group, landed in jail on a technicality. I think is a shame. And in his incarceration not only five millions of us, but the fifteen millions of Negroes in this country should be hanging their heads in shame. Garvey a Vicarine Sufferer I am indeed proud to be able to stand here this afternoon and speak in behalf of our great leader, and all these men and women on my right hand and on my left, and every man and woman before me. I know, mean to stand firm in his or her loyalty to Marcus Garvey, because he is a vicarine sufferer—he is suffering not for himself; he is suffering for you, and he is suffering for me, and he is suffering for these other ten million Negroes who are not concerning themselves about getting his release. He is a vicarine sufferer. Even as on Calvary One Man paid the penalty for all others, so for this race of our one man is paying the penalty for four hundred million of his race. I think because of the fact that he is a leader internationally known and acknowledged, he has no right on a mere technicality to be placed five years in prison, and so long as we have breath, so long as we have a voice, we will exercise that breath and voice, and as we earn our-dollars we shall spend them, and every month or every year of the five we are going to make Coolidge and the country hear from the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

SHOULD REALIZE GRAND LARGENY WAS COMMITTED When Will United-States Right the Wrongs Being Done to Haiti?—Spirit of the People Excellent, but Even a Worm Will Turn Haiti is carrying on. Ten years ago, while Europe was engrossed in the World War, the United States took advantage of an uprising to land troops in the republic, although neither foreign lives nor property was endangered. A president of our choosing and a treaty by which Haiti surrendered much of her sovereignty were forced upon the people, and in 1917 a new constitution which Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, has boasted he himself wrote was presented for adoption. When the legislature refused to accept it, that body was dissolved and Haiti has since been under American military rule with a certain number of native puppets as window-dressing. Even the Roosevelt constitution provides for the election of a legislature every other year, but the American occupation, violating its own instrument, has denied the right. When the term of Puppet-President Dartington have expired in 1922 our military dictators, acting under some exceedingly doubtful "transitional" provisions of the Roosevelt constitution, had their hand-picked Council of State elect a successor in Louis Lormo. His term expires next year and a legislature to choose his successor should be elected on January 10. Puppet-President Boro has refused (to call such an election, but the Patriotic Union is urging voters to go to the polls (which are to be open for the selection of some minor officials) and cast ballots for a new legislature anyhow. In retaliation the representatives of American democracy have again clapped into jail Jollibol, the editor of the Courier Haitian, and have seized his printing plant. The spirit of the Haitians is splendid. If they can keep up the fight, we of the United States will reciprocally some day that we have been guilty of grand larceny and will demand that the receivers of the loot disgorge. to approach the President of the United States and ask for clemency for this man whom the Negro race has honored. This is the man beloved of his people in Africa, in the Soudan, in Uganda, in Pretoria, in East and West Africa. . Not Defrauded Anybody "The second reason why we should approach the President of the United States is our conviction that Garvey has not defrauded anybody. He has not defrauded you, and he has not defrauded me. We gave our money and gave it willingly. Before he was arrested we gave our money, for ships, we gave our money for construction work in Africa, we gave our money for every cause, and we gave it willingly. After he was arrested and after his trial we astonished the world by giving him the best ship of all, the Booker T. Washington. (Applause.) And that was the greatest answer from us as members as to whether Marcos Garvey used the mails to defraud us. He could not use the mails to defraud white people; he could not use the mails to defraud all of those Negroes that were his enemies, could he? No, he used the mails to report to you and to report to me about our concern, about our ship; and when he could not urge us in Liberty Hall, by mail he would, give us reports and ask for further assistance. We gave before they thought of arresting him after his sentence and before his appeal was heard, and if he walks in here this afternoon and says, "We want another ship." We would give him another ship. (Loud applause.) Those Phantom Millions "We are satisfied with how Marcus Garvey has spent our money. We are satisfied with the use he made of our funds, for we know the combinations that were set up against him, in other words, we know what he was up against. Defrauded us! Could Garvey, our leader, our father, our brother, our leader, the Moses who led us across the Red sea, who aroused us out of selfish feelings toward the other man.

If he has defrauded me, I want to know, where it has all gone to. I want to know, where he has put it. How many houses do you see in Harlem belonging to Marcus Garvey? That man has had to rent ever since he came to Harlem, and sometimes I know for two or three months he was so busy he forgot to pay his landlord, and one time he wrote his check, and the check came back. He had no balance in his account. If he had any houses in Harlem you could downstreet and find out. Some say he has millions in Jamaica. Some say he has in Canada. If he has millions, will you please find out, where it is, in the Corn'Exchange or the Royal Bank of Canada? It is easy to make assertions, but if Garvey had these millions he would not be in jail now. Had Garvey wealth, every dollar that he owns would be put into the glorious cause' of the redemption of Africa and building up a nation for our race. Every dollar of it. And so would you, and so would I. The speaker, here made an apparent appeal to the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world, to support the Hon. Marcus Garvey with their funds, pointing out the great need for doing so. The President Will Hearken The President Will Marken Concluding, he said: One-third of the Negroes of America and nearly four hundred million outside of America send our appeal to the fearless, to the fairminded, to the honest, impartial President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, to exercise his pre-operative of granting to Marcus Garvey not a parole, not a parole. We want no parole. We are asking the President to grant him a complete pardon. We have reason to hope, we have reason to believe that the President will acquiesce in our request and that before 1856 is our parole Garvey will walk out of Atlanta Penitentiary a freeman. (Prolonged applause) Buy Christmas Seals and Aid Deserving Institution Sincere appreciation of the work of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association and approval of the Sale of Christmas seals were expressed today by Father Shelton Hale Bishop of St Joseph's Protestant Episcopal Church, 215 West 153d street. In advocating the sale of the little red and green tuberculosis seals Father Bishop said: "I am more than happy to give my endorsement to the work of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, Inc., as I know it through the Harlem Committee. The temporary situation of its headquarters here in our parish house has thrown me into clear contact with the work that ordinarily would have been possible, and has brought with it a larger sequence with what is being done. It is only necessary to see the number of people who come in and out of the office for medical and clinical education to judge of the quantity of work the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee is called upon to do. "Each member of this great community knows something of the procedure of tuberculosis among us. The purchase of a few Christmas soils is within the scope of almost every present expenditures. The sense of the need and the service should alone determine now few or how many." Just one of the many activities of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee supported by the sale of Christmas sales by Health Speaker's Service. Through this department churches, schools, clubs, mothers' meetings, fraternities, etc., have benefited by the health talks given them by specialists on how to keep well and avoid tuberculosis and other diseases. GEORGIA FREE'S NEGRO WHO FEARED MOB RULE Silas Parmore, Extradited From New Jersey, Acquitted by a Jury in Murder Trial TRENTON. N. J. Dec. 12- Silas Parmore, a Negro, who was arrested near New Brunswick about two years ago as a fugitive from Georgia, where he was wanted to stand trial for murder and who resisted extradition on the ground that he would be a victim of "mob rule," has been acquitted by a jury there, according to a letter received today by Governor Silzer from Governor Clifford Walker of Georgia. Parmore was wanted on a charge of murdering a Deputy, Sheriff near Iron City, Ga., and when the authorities sought his extradition he appealed to Governor Silzer, declaring that he would not receive a fair trial in Georgia. He used every legal means to stay in New Jersey, but a writ of habeas corpus was denied by Chancellor Backes, and Governor Silzer, after a bitterly contested hearing, ordered him extradited. Governor Silzer warned the authorities in Georgia that Parmore must have a fair trial or there would never be another fugitive retraced from New Jersey under his administration: Governor Walker, in response to Governor Silzer, wrote that he was sure that the Executive would be "pleased to receive official notice that Silas Parmore has been tried by a jury in Georgia, given a fair and impartial trial and found not guilty by a jury of twelve white South Georgia citizens. You will remember my assurance that he would be given such a trial, and the same has been recorded him without any pressure from this office or otherwise. "You will recall the insults heaped upon the State of Georgia by the Elizabeth (N.J.) papers, and this incident but illustrates the fact that some of the outside press has seen fit to emphasize Georgia as bad, while, as a matter of fact, the State of Georgia and its people are no worse than those of other States." Gen. Wood Vetoes Bill For. Filipino Plebiscite MANILA, Dec 2.—Governor General Wood today vetoed the Philippine Constitution's bill providing for a plebiscite on the question of Philippine independence, on the ground that the legislature has no power to authorize it. The veto message said: "Calling a plebiscite and requesting for holding the same to determine the attitude of the people of the Philippines residing there, their political interests to the United States, and a matter to the power of the legislative power granted under the ordinance." Of seventy-one bots who have passed the Philippine landmark Government General Lorenzo Wood he has awarded twenty-three and approved forty-eight. The bots voted in support of granting transits to plastic light and power companies on the ocean that the bots controlled the use of speech and political action by recruiting a written agreement that the companies would not engage in any non-government directed action to the policy of the United States ordained in the United States message of the 1914, and against the question of the Philippines.

All of the Negro students, of which there are many hundreds, were born on the result of some experiences the slave was enduring. Not one of these songs shows bitterness or hate. England and Europe knew nothing of these songs until the Flik University singers introduced them on their tour abroad in 1871; says the Detroit News. The Negro folk songs, of which the spirituals are a part, were given to the world by Negro folk and were brought to this country by a group of shows that landed in Jamestown, Va. in 1612. The Negro in America passed through an experience which came forth in his music, which is universally accepted as America's folk music. In America it is a crime to drink, make love without restraint, or be a Negro.

LET'S PUT IT OVER CHRISTMAS PARDON FOR PRESIDENT-GENERAL GARVEY At this season of the year, when we are all celebrating, or beginning to celebrate, the risen Jesus, who gave His life that others might have it more abundantly, and when the old year goes out and the new year comes in, the thoughts of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association turn irresistibly to President General Marcus Garvey, with the sincere regret that he is not free to enjoy with them the spirit of Christmas holidays. The thoughts of the members are clouded, and the spirit of the season is made gloomy for them because their chieNis confined in prison. They would all have him free as they are to enter into the high spirit of the season and to direct in person the great work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. That this might be so, they have petitioned the President of the United States to pardon President General Garvey, as he usually pardons many at this season of the year. In his splendid statement in the last issue of The Negro World, affirming the loyalty of the Association and its high executive council and working force, from the top to the bottom, Acting President-General William L. Sherrill, had the following to say to the members of the Association, which it is believed they will take to heart and act, upon, if they have not already done so, during the coming week: It has been announced in the press that President Coolidge will issue a number of Christmas pardons. May God touch the President's heart to include Marcus Garvey's name in these pardons. Garvey has committed no crime. He is needed by his people. Every member should send immediately to the President of the United States a telegram asking the President to hear the pleadings of 5,000,000 citizens of America, begging for the freedom of their leader and grant Marcus Garvey a Christmas pardon. Trusting that God will crown our work with tremendous success and that our leader will be delivered from Atlanta at Christmastide, with best wishes. I remain, Yours for service; Faith without works avails nothing. Prayers and hope are in the same boat. To make them effective, back them up with a telegram To the President, Hon. Calvin Coolidge, White House., Washington, requesting, that he give us as the most acceptable Christ, was present a pardon for our President-General, Marcus Gärvey. GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR GREAT BRITAIN'S FUTURE GREAT BRITAIN has for so long ruled the seas and given law to the Nations, that any whisper that she is losing her potentiality arouses the fear of the Britishers at home and the interest of people everywhere. The World War crippled the British system of government in such a way as to make recovery of its former power and glory impossible. The Negro World pointed out this fact when the premiers voted that the British Empire had become the British Commonwealth of Nations, with so much of power in the commonwealths as to destroy the dominance of the parent government in levying taxes, in directing by tariff regulations commerce, and in controlling the foreign affairs of the nation. The power to levy and collect taxes and to make treaties is the supreme power in every government. Without these any nation is weak indeed. The British Commonwealth of Nations have destroyed the British Empire, as the parent government can no longer levy and collect taxes, regulate commerce and make treaties except by and with the consent of the Commonwealth of Nations. The readers of The Negro World are vitally concerned in everything that relates to Great Britain because there are so many Negroes under its flag in the West Indies and in Africa, and because it has always denied to these Negroes any reasonable participation in the administration of affairs, ruling and taxing and controlling their labor without their consent and for the benefit of the white people. At great impression was made upon the Christian nations recently that it was given out that Great Britain might not, because of the war of the World War and other handicaps, be able to meet her military obligations. When a nation cannot do that it is regarded as insult and is distressed, and abused as the individual banker. country, and in the British trade balance. The terrible burden of taxation is shown in the fact that the British "National debt is $40,000,000,000, calling for annual interest payments of $2,000,000,000," a debt burden more than three times that of France or Germany and twice that of the United States, the deadweight charges being, per capita, $4 in Germany, $6 in the United States, $12 in France and $44 in Great Britain. TELLING "CIVILIZATION" THE TRUTH From the Gold Coast Times The other day the Archbishop of Canterbury, who belongs to the group of Englishmen having no interest in the material development of Africa raised his voice in solemn protest against "the danger, both for, the empire and the church, of the arrogant assumption of racial superiority" by the white members of the British empire, and to "that definitely anti-Christian imperialism based on the claim of the white man to be the black man's master." And that was not the first time he had sounded that warning. A few weeks ago we published an extract from the Church Times, being the substance of a speech delivered by the Bishop of Truro, in which he told his English inarters the unpalatable truth that white and black are the same in the sight of God unless the teachings of Christianity were to be belled, and durged the church to fight "strenuously" for justice to the weaker races, who are now the victims of the exploitation and injustice of the white race. He further told them that the Caucasian may no longer rampage around the world treating men of other colors and races as inferiors, sent into the world merely to be his hewers of wood and drawers of water. As a matter of fact the domination of world affairs has departed from Great Britain and the European States and has been transferred to the United States and the States of Central and South America. That is the plain writing on the wall. It looks as if Africa is being developed as the next new power in the old world, and the domination and development of it are of the greatest concern to the Negro people, who are bound to be great factors in such domination and development. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE PRAISES THE NEGRO IN his first message to the sixty-ninth Congress President Coolidge said little that is new and nothing that is surprising. He cleaves close to his policy of strict economy in taxation and the expenditure of public monies, and on all domestic affairs he speaks the wishes of the masses of the people for stable government and safe and conservative administration of public affairs. He is at no time an alarmist and has an optimism which should enthuse the average citizen with faith in the government and hope for its growth in physical and spiritual things. President Coolidge devotes three paragraphs of his message to the Negro citizens, which we reproduce in another column of The Negro World today. He has high praise for the progress the Negro Raco has made and for its loyalty and dependability, and he thinks the race still needs "sympathy, kindness and helpfulness," and the "reassurance that the requirements of the government and society to deal out to them even-fanded justice will be met. They should be protected from all violence and supported in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the American people," the President says. The Bishop put the point rather too bluntly for an English audience, but we like the way he put it because Englishmen need such plain speaking in these days of colonial expansion when the best traditions of British rule are not being uniformly maintained in the overseas dependencies. What is happening in Africa at the present time could not have been thought of in the Victorian era, and these recent tendencies are the result of the spirit of materialism that has seized Europe and is sweeping before it叫 that makes for peace and contentment in the world. The lust for power, dominion and wealth is deadening the spiritual life of the white race and has benefit it of its sense of right and justice, in so far as dealing with colored races are concerned, which is a sign of the decadence of white civilization. The Negro people in the United States have many things to complain of in the administration of the laws and in the hostile attitude of much of the public opinion of the country to all of the efforts of the race to earn a living and to be protected in their lives and property as others are; but, following the line of the President's thought, we think that history teaches that we should ceaselessly contend for what we are entitled to as citizens in all reasonable and lawful ways and that we shall be rewarded in so far as we organize and contend for what belongs to us. President Coolidge Bespeaks Justice for The Negro People CONVICT CAMPS AND THEIR BARBARITIES IN peonage cases tried in the Federal courts of Georgia and Florida, and several of the State courts, it was shown that the principle of leasing convicts to private persons and to corporations is open to abuses which should not be tolerated. The Supreme Court of Arkansas has just handed down a decision in which it is held that "the public policy of the State, as shown by the legislative will, was to prevent the letting of convicts to persons or corporations to be worked by them for priate gain." The court ruled, therefore, that the State Penitentiary Commission was restrained from hiring out and leasing the State convicts. It would be great gain if all of the Southern States should adopt the law and the ruling of the Supreme Court of Arkansas in the hiring out and leasing of convicts of the State to persons and corporations, whose main purpose is to get as much labor out of the convict as possible, often at the expense of his life, as has been shown in case after case as they have been tried in Federal and State courts. In his message to the sixty-ninth Congress President Coolidge had the following to say concerning his Negro fellow-citizens which will be of interest to the readers of The Negro World: "Nearly one-tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made in all the arts of civilization in the last 60 years is almost beyond belief. Our country has no more loyal citizens. But they do still need sympathy, kindness, and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the requirements of the Government and society to deal out to them even-handed justice will be met. They should be protected' from all violence and supported in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do 'violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the American people. The legislature of Florida has just reversed itself in the matter of punishment of convicts, which public opinion compelled it to abolish a year ago, and gives again to convict lessees liberty to use any sort of punishment they may deem necessary to get out of the convict all of the labor they may deem him capable of. The reversal appears us to amount to that. Georgia is going towards a backward instead of forward movement in dealing with its convicts, two State bodies have been investigating barbarities of the system with the purpose of reaching appropriate legislation. Both Florida and Georgia should abolish the convict lease system, and the prison camp and adopt the principle which seems to have been sustained by the supreme court of Arkansas, that the convicts of the State should not be leased to persons or to corporations. Neither the Federal government nor the several States should transfer control of the persons and labor of their convicts to persons or corporations. "Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are striving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the crown of American citizenship. It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially, physically, morally, to incite revolution, or to violate the established customs which have long had the sanction of enlightened society. The convict lease system and the convict camp were not originated for the punishment of white criminals, but for black ones. The agitation to do away with the system is due largely to the fact that white criminals have greatly multiplied in the Southern States of recent years and are rapidly multiplying. Everywhere else in the country except in the Southern. States the tendency is towards prison reform and to control the convict and his labor in such wise as to reform rather than confirm him in his criminal disposition. "But it does mean the full right to liberty' and equality before the law without distinction of race or creed. This condition cannot be 'granted to others, or enjoyed by ourselves, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Biggotry is only another name for slavery. It reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed, but also those who seek to apply it. An enlarged freedom can only be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life." A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY FOR FOUR AMILLION dollars is big money. There are not many people in the United States, or in the world, for the matter of that, who have a million dollars. All of them, except the misers, are known, at least to the tax-gatherers. Most of them stand high in their communities, because money is a great power and commands respect for those who own it or control it. The theory is that every man is as rich as his neighbor, but the fact is that most of the wealth of the world is owned and controlled by a few men, who have managed to levy tribute on their fellows by monopoly in the necessary things of life the prices of which they are able to hx so that the supply shall never be greater than the demand. The majority thus pay, tribute to the minority and are mostly wage-earners who do not always receive enough to keep body and soul together. Industrial and Commercial Influences Changing Africa WASHINGTON.—What is described as a "New Basis for Education in Africa" was outlined at the "African Conference," recently held at Hartford, Copenhagen. The various movements looking toward a close co-operation between missionary government and commercial agencies interested in the development of Africa, were discussed at length. In reporting the conference, Zion's Herald, a publication maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church of New England, says: "Mr. J. H. Oldham, of London, England, pointed out that the pouishing of Europe and American capital into Africa since the World War for the development of her industry and commerce has given rise on a gigantic scale to all the capitalistic problems of the West, all the political, social educational, social and cultural problems which have for generations been sweeping action in America and in Europe. Mistakes are now, relatively speaking, at a level still disturbed with other influences—corn, political, government—which are changing the whole life of Africa." Mr. Oldham suggests that because industrial, commercial and government diseases are now bearing a great influence there could be a general co-operation between the application of education and the administration of education, both working in the environment. We also need to be careful. We do not find that education has to be co-operative with the government. The Jewish people are great money getters. They know how to get it of others and how to use it for their best interests. A Jew begins life by thinking as a child in the language of pennies and dollars. The extent to which the Jews are interested in and control industry and finance was forcibly shown last week in New York City. A drive for $4,000,000 was begun on Monday for the benefit of the Jewish charities in New York City. They call themselves the Jewish Philanthropic Societies. A different group of workers had charge of the drive each day. Each group was expected to raise $1,000,000, and during the four days of the drive the $4,000,000 was subscribed. That was a very great achievement. THE FLOWER I-KNOW AS YOU!

Digging Up the Dead Past of Old Egypt East Indian Struggle for Justice Under British After an interruption of thirteen years the Egypt Exploration Society is about to resume excavation of the Osirion at Abydos, or Abdu, as it was called, meaning "the hill of the relic" because the head of Osiris was supposed to have been preserved there. Abydos was one of the earliest places of worship in Egypt, founded before the first dynasty. The temple was renewed and enlarged by many successive rulers down to the thirtieth dynasty, covering a period of at least 3,700 years, although Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist, makes it 2,000 years older. Some believe the Ostelion was erected by Minepelt, a king of the nineteenth dynasty, who relied about 1220 B. C., but is perhaps much more ancient. The building, which was designed for the worship of Osiris, has been already partly uncovered, but there are evidences of underground chambers where mysterious rites, connected with the cult of the King of the Dead, were performed. One object of the society is to trace the development of Egypt's early religious ideas, to which some scholars attribute the derivation of the Eleusinian mysteries. Inscriptions, statues and other works of art are expected to throw some light on this point. Behind the Oolteiron was the great cemetery of the early kings, where the society hones to continue former explorations and to copy and publish inscriptions found in the minor temples of the neighborhood. The work is not easy because it will be necessary to move many large stones, besides carting away hundreds of tons of sand which the winds of the desert have spread over the monuments of man. JERUSALEM. Dec. 12. — Arab sources, without confirmation, today reported that Druse rebels practically annihilated a French force of more than 1,000 east of Damascus. Damascus notables are reported to have refused to meet France's civil commissioner, Henry de Jouvenel, to arrange a peace settlement. Intermittent fighting continues about the city. Tuateras Supposed to Be Oldest Type of Animal Some of the islands off the coast of New Zealand are the home of curious creatures known as tunaers which are supposed to be the oldest living type of animal. They are distinguished by a quiet organ on the top of the head, known as the pincal gland, which is in reality a third eye. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The theory of inherent superiority and God designed supremacy is brewing trouble which the darker races do not want and the white races do not need. History is long, the world is old, and every race that has adopted and developed this theory seriously and tenaciously has gotten into trouble. The theory is being promulgated and imbibed today by millions; tomorrow the clash and the climax must come. And this conflict must go on a larger scale and stubborn in proportion as the proponents and opponents are more multitudinous and bitterly at variance.—Louisville Leader. Jobs, homes and investments mean wealth. Wealth means a certain degree of independence—the kind the white man exercises as to us, aside from our labor. Don't be a skeptic. Don't knock struggling Negro business in any form. Give it your heart, your hand, and your dollars. We can't turn back at failures, for failures, in different forms, have beaten all races at some time or other—Indianapolis Freeman. Disloyalty is always an opponent to right and truth. They who falter in a large measure, are human precepts who have put their hands to the plow and looked back, making themselves unfit for service—National Baptist Voice. Disappointments in this life are always just ahead of you. Provided you brave yourself to meet them, you will live just as long one may as you will the other—Richmond Paucer. It should not be accustomed to a thin black beard and sympathetic treatment by established formerly persecutive group of men of people, but humility on the great Christian side, above all, must be adopted, upon should pass when the obligation—that is, the obligation—is fulfilled. Arabs Say Druses Kill 1,000 French East Indian Struggle for Justice Under British Rule From the New York Sun India's new Viceroy, Edward F. L. Wood, apparently, will have an easier time than his predecessor, Lord Reading, who was at odds with the Swarajists, or boycotters of reforms, and sometimes with the home government also. There is a serious division in the ranks of the obstructionists, which will tend to help the British policy of gradual approach to self-government. The difference has arisen between those who would co-operate with the government by taking office and those who openly profess opposition to any semblance of assisting the authorities. The situation is somewhat similar to the attitude of the Fillipinos toward the American officials. Although a proposal that the Swarajists should abate their antagonism and accept office was rejected by the executive committee, nearly all the native members of the Legislature signed a memorial in favor of it. Following the rejection two leaders in western India have resigned and another in the central provinces, accepted a seat in the local Government Council. As he is independent of the Legislature and cannot be turned out of office, his action angered the constructionists, and the proposed meeting of the General Council of the All-India Swarajist party at Nagpur was cancelled. Suggestions have been made that more durbars should be held for the purpose of consulting the nobility and gentry, who could thus meet the Governor and express their views. It is argued that this is the most convenient way for the heads of state or the provinces to keep in touch with the rural leaders. The Legislature, it is claimed, is inadequate for this purpose, as the electors form only 2 percent of the population and less than half of them vote. The durbar affords opportunity for local boards and officials to present their needs to the Governor and for the latter to announce his policy, to reward service and to offer advice or warning in periods of unrest. Prepare for War, Mussolini Warns ROME, Dec. 12.—War is not ended in Europe, according to Premier Mussolini: "If international struggles don't break out now, they certainly will break out in the future," the premier said in a speech advocating extension of compulsory arbitration by labor courts. "It is necessary for Italy to be ready, then, as far as production is concerned." He appealed to Fascist to take the lead. Be Noble, and the nobleness that lies In other men sleeping; but never dead Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.—Lowell. that is encouraging. More and more are we led to believe that our preaching on race pride as it affects our interest in business ventures of our group, is bearing some fruit—Omaha, New Era. The spirit is the big thing. The superiority by nature and divine will theory—engenders a spirit, that will always thwart the proper approach of the races. The colored races are ready. They ask only for fairness. They are willing to accord what is right. The blame for delaying the day of human brotherhood cannot be laid at their door—Louisville Leader.

It takes no Sherlock Holmes to discover at least one of the reasons for hard times and the business depression that the country at large is feeling at this time and that is the wanderliness and extravagance of the American slaves, black and white, rich and poor aliens.

BURROWS IN WALKER TRIP-AROUNDTHE-WORLD CONTEST As readers are aware, the Madam C. J. Walker Co., Inc., popular beauty specialists, have inaugurated a unique contest, as a result of which several men and women adjudged the most popular in various Negro institutions in this country will be sent on a trip around the world at the company's expense. A certain voting strength is assigned to each of the many preparations of the Walker Co. and buyers are asked to give their votes to their favorite candidate. Mr. Percival L. Burrows, the energetic Assistant Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is one of the candidates, and in a letter, published below, is seeking the support of the members of the organization. Mr. Burrows' participation in the contest has the sanction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Your letter received, also Osborn's. I can see no reason why you may not enter the contest for trip around the world. MARCUS GARVEY. Mr. Burrows' Appeal To Officers and Members of the Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; Dear Co-workers: I have been accepted by the Madam C. J. Walker Co., Inc., as a contestant for their trip around the world. In this I am representing the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as indorsed by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his telegram reproduced above. For the purpose of further development of trade relations between the alited States and the Union of South Africa, Eric H. Louw, South African aristocrat and former member of Parliament, newly appointed trade commissioner, has opened an office in New York. With the office a publicity bureau will be conducted for the purpose of applying information to American manufacturers, business men and tourists about South African products, transportation facilities and similar affairs. Establishment of a direct line steamship route from New York to South Africa is one of the alms of the South African Government, Louw said, if ade relations seem to warrant it. This is the first time the Union of South Africa has maintained anything at a customs officer in the United States, although an American trade commissioner, Perry Stevenson, has presented the United States in South Africa for two years. Louw is especially eager to interest American manufacturers in South African work. South Africa is one of largest wool producing countries the world, and its product is equal that of Australia, he declared. But moriican manufacturers are slow to recognize this, due to an unfortunate alignment of interior wool some ten and ago. The development of South Africa priculturally, industrially and ecom- ically during the last ten years has seen nothing short of marvelous, ac- cending to Louw. Formerly England and the provinces consumed more of its products, but due to the steady expansion it is now necessary to seek her markets. Louw declared. The citrus crop of South Africa is larger than California's and equally good, he said. This, too, has reached rich proportions in the last few years at England and the provinces cannot insume it. In addition there is South african gold, base metals of various orts, and many other agricultural and internal products. During the last year the South African Union imported $42,000,000 worth of conducts from the United States, with usoline and automobiles, the loading sport. Excluding England, the nearest approach to this figure was the sports from Germany, which totaled $18,000,000. "With such a business going from your country to oura it is only right VOTE FOR P. L. B.

Louw said. The new office, which is established temporarily in the Bank of South Africa, 44 Bayshore street, also will be a general information bureau for tourists, for it is the hope of the South African Union to encourage tourist business from the United States. Although the trip is a long one, the tourist will be well rewarded. Louw declares. The climate is ideal, and Louw paints a picture of South Africa's blue skies, primitive and picturesque scenery that might put a Florida press agent to envy. Government owned railroads operate better and cheaper there than anywhere else in the world, he said. A specially chartered boat of 300 American tourists will visit South Africa this winter, he says. British society folk already are finding Africa a fashionable winter paradise of much interest and pleasure. Although cool and crisp, there is no real winter, and Lowell is looking forward to our next snow. He has never seen snow, he said. The publicity office will be operated by G. S. Oettle, who will arrive Friday from London. A permanent exhibit of South African products will be maintained in this office. The site has not yet been selected. Louw's appointment is for three years, and, with his wife and two children, he will make his residence in New York City. He is 34 years old, but already has made an enviable record in South African politics and business, according to the "African Trade Organizer," which carries a long article on Louw's appointment, an event considered of considerable significance in the promotion of better trade relations with the United States and Canada. Before leaving for America he conferred with the American trade commissioner in Johannesburg, he said, and also with the offices of the Baldwin Motor Company and the Standard Oil Company, all of which had urged the establishment of the office here. BIRTH RATE IS LOWEST RECORDED IN AMERICA The birth rate in America is now lower than at any other period of her history, and, due to the increasing practice of birth control, the finest qualities of the race are in danger of being wiped out. These are the conclusions of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician, drawn from his research work for the Prudential Insurance Company. About the only encouragement he finds is that the death rate is the lowest ever known, with one exception. He places the annual number of births in this country as about 2,600,000 and the deaths as 1,300,000. "The reduction in births applies largely to those who are intellectually as well morally and economically of the superior type." Dr. Hoffman says. "It must be apparent that we are deliberately encouraging a diminution of pronounced types of intelligence and character." BURROWS IN WALKER THE-WORLD CONTEST Dam C. J.

Mystics who have so far mastered the power of mind over matter that they draw a knife through their own flesh and in the next moment heal the cut with a motion of the hand; who walk naked into a roaring fire and emerged unsinged like the Hebrew children in the Bible story of the fiery furnace; who cure the malmed, the halt and the blind and drive away disease. Such men there are today in the Orient. Inayat Khan of British India, one of the most distinguished philosophers of the Far East, declared recently at the Waldorf-Astoria following his arrival on the steamship Volendam of the Holland-America Line. He is in America for a country-wide lecture tour of six months, the first three weeks of which will be spent in this city. There are jugglers, he says, who "have little and make much of it," but adds that not all the stories which come out of the East to make the white civilization of the West wonder are founded on superstition and deception. The old, old story of the rope thrown into thin air by the fakir who then climbs it and vanishes is based upon trickery and hypnotism, according to the scholarly visitor, but there are those versed in the inscrutable wisdom of the Orient who project their spirits from their bodies, converse with the dead and obtain "accurate information" from places and persons to whom they have never had physical access. But all these—even the ones who actually perform miracles and practice no fraud—are "different" from the true philosophers and scholars with whom Inayat Khan classifies himself. He and his kind make, no pretense of occult powers; they believe that to do so "for name or for fuse or for money" is to limit their capacity for the power Dr. Khan says comes to them through meditation. "What we are," he said, "will speak for itself. Does the diamond have to say to the world. I am a diamond? If a man has the power to do good he will do it quietly without heralding himself." Garbed in a flowing black robe, caught at the middle with a single loop or button, the visiting philosopher, who is hotly by his friends as a mystic and scorn of the first order, talked with a quiet earnestness which was irreconcilable to any suspicion of insincerity or fraud. He is forty-three years old, and the graying fringes of his coal-black hair and board lent him something of the look of a patriarch saint. He said that his mission in America is to help "seekers after truth" and that he has nothing for those who are looking for "phenomena and miracles—the title curious and the mentally empty." He believes that there, is but one real religion and that all others— TER TRIP-AROUND- star beauty specialists, have in- and women adjudged the most important on a trip around the world at arations of the Walker Co. and general of the Universal Negro letter, published below, is seeking the Hon.

These are, in order of passage, "concentration, contemplation, meditation and realization." The spiritual quality of the individual governs the extent to which any person may benefit from his teaching. Dr. Khaji said. Dr. Khan has been lecturing three years in the universities of Rome, Geneva, Berlin, Oslo, and the Sorbonne in Paris, when he came to New York. He is a member of the famous family of Baroqu, British India, which has produced great artists and musicians, among them Jumasha, still revered in the Funjab as a saint. He is himself a talented musician. His first lecture here, "Man the Master of His Destiny," will be given at the Waldorf-Astoria, next Sunday. Two other lectures at the same place on "The Secret of the Spirit" and "The Purpose of Life" will be given on successive Sundays. BUSINESS TRAINING URGED The last two years of a college career should be devoted to the science of business, says Prof. James C. Eghert, director of the School of Business of Columbia University in his annual report to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, made public yesterday. "It is possible," declared Prof. Eghert, "that in the future the school may devote its energies and interests to graduate work to the exclusion of undergraduate courses. The present is to graduate studies." The time is not ripe, the report continues, to abandon all the undergraduate courses in the school.

By E. GENEWAL CARTER Text: St. Luke II, 11th verse: "For unto you is born this day . . . a Savior . . . Christ the Lord. Subject: "Birth of Christ In You." All around and about us we see signs of Christman. These signs are hopeful, joyful, indicative of inner peace and goodwill toward our fellow-men. But there cannot be an abiding peace unless the Christ has come to dwell in our temples. If he resides in us, then we can say, "Merry Christmas," and know much of the merriment we offer to others. If we do not know the secret of his wonderful love and compassion, then we can not enjoy the cheer we present to our fellows. Let us be merry because Christ is born anew in us that are professed followers; and in him who knows Him not. There is every reason we should be merry because the knowledge of Christ in us makes us so. We celebrate in the true spirit, not moved by aromatic spirits; but in the light, and love of his being. We exclaim, "Merry Christmas," because we salute the Christ that is born in each of us who will give him a chance. Then, too, we may be Merry because the truth reveals to us through the Christ in us perfection in mind and body. Every member of the U. N. I. A. will be made happy in having the good cheer of the Christ brought sensibly near unto us, through the restoration of our honored leader. It is possible for the Christ consciousness to manifest this truth. To that end let us concentrate. Let us look forward and behold For Merry Christmas is sure to come only through the Christ. In film everything is possible. We trust and our confidence shall not be betrayed. When the Christ is born in us, individuals will treat each other rightly, races will understand each other, and nations will forget their selfish interests. Till then our Merry Christmas is but sounding brass and tingling cymbal. Go forth, then, and find the well-spring of your promptings—"Merry Christmas." When it is found, worship Him, then salute Him in your fellow. This will give us peace and goodwill among all mankind, especially in the household of our faith and following.

Carnegie Hall The Celebrated Colored Tenor For months past behind a wall of encroach the British army and the navy have carried out tests of the highest importance with two man tanks, designed by a comparatively young and brilliant officer of the Royal Engineers, Brevitt Major Marcel. The tests have been so successful that this mechanical armored robot may play as great a part in the next war as his forerunner, the armored knight, did in medieval times. Morris Motors now is building three of these engines of war, which will be equipped with sixteen horse power motors. Capt. Liddell Hart, well known military expert of the Daily Telegraph, lifts the vell of secrecy today and describes what has been accomplished and the success which has attended the experiments. He declares the tanks can be produced for $2,000 or less when production is standardised. In naval trials at Campo it was found that the tank could be used in the nature of a "tank-marine," as it was able to wade ashore, and Mart adds: "The success of this amphibious operation opens a wide vista for the future and those who recall the corpse strewn beaches of Gallipoll can only mourn that its birth date was 1928 instead of 1915. "It may well endow the landing operations of the future with security, speed and offensive strength hitherto undreamed of." The naval tank was debarked from an extraordinary naval launch fitted at the biter with a sloping ramp. The launch came into shallow water and the tank waded ashore without missi- RHEUMATISM A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It In the year of 1883 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-Acute Rheumatism.

DIVISIONS On Sunday, November 15, our mass meeting was called to order at the usual hour, but it was a special meeting because we had in our midst a very distinguished visitor, in the person of Mrs. Wilmouth late of the New York Local, and Mr. E. C. Behidmin of the Valesco Division. Mrs. Wilmouth is one of our leading nurses and is now making her residence with us. She is devoting much of her time to instructing the different Units of Nurses attached to the various divisions located in this part of Cuba. The members, friends and well-wishers turned out in large numbers to listen to the encouraging message of Mrs. Wilmouth, and the others who took part, and helped to make the meeting a success. The program was as follows: Opening address to the vice-president, Mr. S. P. Johnson, who made an earnest appeal to the people to join in the cause of the U. N. I. A. and help to put the program over. A solo was rendered in very fine style by our head nurse, Mrs. Thomas. An elegant address by Teacher Jones. Solo by Nurse Campbell. Mrs. E. Wiltmouth was introduced at this stage of the meeting and was received with much applause. In the course of her address she outlined the aims and objects of the association and made a strong appeal to the congregation to swell the membership roll. Solo by Miss A. Hose, "Guide Us by Thy Hand," which was well received by the audience. The next speaker was Mr. Epnest, C. Benjamin, ex-vice-president of the Saga la Grande Division 55, and now president of the Velasco Division. His subject was the "Master Mind." He said among other very important things that it needs energy and unwilling perseverance to make one successful. Mr. Perival Jones, ex-president of the Havami Division and veteranighter, for the cause of Africa, was the next speaker. He made it plain to his hearers that the time has come for all the Negroes to unite for one common purpose, and that is to join the ranks of Garvey and fight for the salvation of the race and the redemption of Africa. He was heartily applauded for his zeal which seemed to awaken the spirit of many slumbering Negroes. A solo was well rendered by Mrs. R. Thorpe, our local song bird, the audience showed their appreciation by their applause. The president thanked the several speakers and his closing address is one that will live long in the memories of those who heard him. On Monday, November 16, a hurried mess meeting was called in honor of the Honorable A. S. Cummings, who war a visitor to our division. Mr. Cummings is the founder of the Banes Division and first delegate from Cuba to the International Convention held in New York, and we know that his works and services to the U.N.A. are still fresh in the minds of many who know him. The president, Mr. R. Jackson, in presenting him to the congregation, said: "We are glad to have you with us this evening, and we hope that all those who shall hear you will throw in their lot with the Association." His address was brimful of life and encouragement. He explained the aims and object of the UNLA, as it is being taught by our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. He said that at this time it is necessary for the Negroes to put away selfishness, malice, hate and all those things that will hinder us from coming together. He also appealed to us to support the parent body of the association. His address was punctuated from time to time with much applause. Mr. Jas. A. Thope delivered an address that was of great significance, the subject of which was "Let's Put It Over." He pointed out the seriousness of the time in which we are living, and called attention to the fact that the world at large is fighting to right itself, and if we do not take advantage of the pending conflict in the next 10 or 20 years our race will be a thing of the past; that is to say, we will be so much wasted and scattered that we will have no place politically, financially or otherwise. Others who took part in the evening's proceedings were: Solie by Mrs Campbell; address by Mr. A. Higginson; solo Mrs. J. A. Thorig; solo by Teacher Jones, "Shall I Turn My Back from Carveysm": "address by ex-Chaplain J. Campbell, "Negroes Know Thyself": solo, Nurse Thomas, "Don't Campain": address in Spanish by Sr. Gonzalez; address by Mr. Percelval Jones, ex-president Havana Division. President R. Jackson in a few, but well chosen words expressed his thanks to those present congratulating them for their fine behavior and the part they have played in making the meeting a success. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National anthem, and a benediction by the chaplain. NOTICE All secretaries of divisions and chapters of the U. M. I.

The attendance was good, and an enjoyable evening was spent. The president, Mr. J. Mitchell, presided, and aly explained the significance of the day. He paid glowing tribute to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and said he hoped the day was not far distant when we shall be able to celebrate "Garvey Liberation Day." He emphasized the fact that the road the Hon. Marcus Garvey took was a road he (Mr. Garvey) knew well, "It's a road," said he, "That is marked throughout with trials, tribulations, sorrows and oftimes death, but yet there remains a great connotation, for 'Out of martyrs is the world made.'" Other speakers of the evening were Mr. C. A. Robinson, vice-president; Mr. J. W. Gage, and W. O. Small, executive secretary. They all lauded the work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and expressed their willingness to carry on. The both rendered many beautiful selections. Salos were rendered by Mrs B.

Benjamin, who said he had been fostering the program of the U. N. I. A. for many years. The president next presented to the audience Dr. O. Sweet, who has been imprisoned for trying to protect his home against mohs of the opposite race. Dr. Sweet said he was glad to be back with us once more after being behind prison bars. He said while in prison he thought more and more of the U. N. I. A. and how Garvey is behind the bars suffering not for what he has done but for a just excuse. The principal speaker was Hon. Dr. When who made a fine address. Meeting closed by the singing of the National Anthem. NOTICE All private and personal communications intended for Hon.

L. held a large mass meeting in the honor of Lady Hendetta V. Davis and Rev. Van Pelt, president of the Cleveland Division. President Eversby had made the announcement of their coming and when Miss Dagls arrived she was received by members of the division and taken to her temporary residing place. The night of November 10 she was escorted to Liberty Hall by Lady President Mrs. Louise Davison. On her arrival the Lectures, Nurses, Choir, and officers stood in single file to receive her.

Miss Davis spoke on "The Rise and Fall of the Nations." She declared that the Negro who is desplied and rejected shall be the corner-stone of the United States of Africa. The program on November 11 was as follows: Processional march by legions, nurses, choir and officers; National Anthem; prayer by chapin; national prayer by audience; song by choir.

On Sunday, November 29, a band concert was given by the New Waterford Chapter of the U. N. I. A. The concert was well attended by visiting members from Sydney and Glace Bay. The bandmen, who are members of the Sydney division, journeyed from that town, to demonstrate to us, under the guidance of their able bandmaster, what they have achieved in such a short period, as the band is practically a new one. The chairman for the occasion was Mr. F. Henry, the ex-president. The band delivered several collections, which were greatly applauded. There were several very stirring addresses by Moorra. Moorra, Mortley, Huntra, Headley, and O. Parris. A petition by Mrs. Hoyte entitled "Africa shall Be Free" was most inspiring. The their rendered several fine pieces to the delight of the audience. The Sydney Quartet also sang. Our president, Mr. A. Drayton, outlined the working of the association, and the great effort our native leader is at present undertaking by the benefit of our trust. The exhibition then thanked the impressors and length of the band, after the ensemble for their present show, the show was accompanied by Mr. Drayton. The program was lively, so well with the gliding of the band. Judging from the information gathered from the columnist of The Negro World, it seems that all divisions are permeated with a subconscious urge to "let's put it over," and it is plain to be seen that the vast majority of all the members in Chicago division, No. 33, from the president down to the juveniles, are quite responsive to the urge. Sunday we were favored with the presence of the Secretary-General, Hon. Dr. G. Emmonel Carter, and Commissioner Hon. F. H. Questile. There were also present many prominent citizens of our city, among whom were Representative Warren B. Douglas, who delivered the principal address of the evening. Dr. Carter was greeted by a large audience. It had been well advertised, that he would visit us and that a special meeting would be held for him Monday night, so he spoke very briefly Sunday and announced his subject for the special meeting Monday night. He gave a comprehensive and sympathetic account of the tour of the Booker T. Washington, and concluded with a round-trip appeal to remain loyal to the President General and to aid the parent body. Commissioner Questile spoke briefly also. The chair rendered most excellent music for the occasion, under the direction of our lady-president, Mrs Francis Plummer. Another notable feature of the program was the reading of the President-Generals address from the columns of The Negro World by the executive secretary, E. B. Knox. The closing number was an address by the president, Hon. W. A. Wallace, who seemed to be at his best. He assigned Dg. and all present that Chiep, o Deionon No. 23 had been, was now and always wore to be loyal to the President-General and the parent at body. E. B. KNOX, Reporter. MONTCLAIR, N. J. Very little is said about Montclair Division No. 27, but we are in the fight to stay. We are few in number, but not lacking in spirit. We want the Hon. Marcus Garvey and our coworkers to know that Montclair Division No. 27 is 100 percent back of him and the principles he has so carefully laid down for us. Our cause is just and right. We are only asking for what is ours, therefore we are not stepping aside for any one. This program only needs the combined strength of the men and women who want to go forward to give it one tremendous push, and it will go over the top. W. MORRISON WRIGHT, Reporter. DENVER; COLORADO Rev. Emonie Carter was the guest of the Denver Division Sunday. November 8. It was a pleasure and honor for the division to have the secretary-general for their guest. In addition to the secretary's fine address an interesting program was rendered. The president, Mr. Walters, presided. Reverend Carter was the guest of Mrs. Bertha Jones during his stay in the city. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The Muskogee Division held a mass meeting in the interest of the release of the Honorable Marcia Garvey, on Sunday, November 15. Mr. C, H. Burdett, president of the division, presided. The Honorable Henrietta Vinton Davis, special representative of the Marcia Garvey Release Committee, was the special guest on this occasion. Out of town visitors included Mr. Samuel McHenry of Wagner Division who came and brought eight of his members. The morning session was held in Liberty Hall. The afternoon session was held in the Second Christian Church of which Roverend Tucker is the pastor. Miss Davis was accompanied to the city by the Reverend L. T.

Worford; short address, Reverend Junyer of Wagner Division; address, Reverend Van Pelt. Miss Davis' was introduced by the president.

So enthused was Mr. J. A. Molyneux that he volunteered to furnish the choir with their uniforms. His offer was gladly accepted. After the chairman had congratulated those who took part in the program, and the audience for its splendid behavior, the singing of the national anthem brought an interesting meeting to a close. J. E. SAMUELS, Reporter. CUETO, ORIENTE, CUBA Sunday, November 1, was a red letter day in the Cueto Division. A great mass meeting was staged at 7 p.m. The hall was packed to its capacity with members and friends of our noble cause who had assembled to pay homage to the name of our imprisoned leader.

The meeting was full of inspiration and of interesting information. After the spiritual service was over the chaplain, Mr. Daydial Baugh, turned the chair over to the president, J. D. Silmon. He made a few remarks after which he thanked the community for the spirited manner in which it has helped to make our anniversary a success. He then asked for their continued support.

WELSH, Reporter CEIGO DE AVILA, CUBA "Sunday, November 1 will never be forgotten by the Negro residents of this town, who have an idealistic vision of Africa's redemption. 'The celebration was in honor of Garvey Day. As anticipated, a great gathering turned out. At 7.30 p.m. the organist, Miss V. Stephenson, accompanied by Mr. Jacobs, with his charmer, praised forth the sweet strains of "Lead Us Heavenly Father, Lead Us." as processional hymn. The choir, with the help of the audience sang lustily as the Black Cross Nurses, Motor Corp, Boy Scouts and Juvenile led the procession, followed by the executive officers around the hall and then up the aisle to their various seats. After the religious service was completed, the president, Mr. R. T. Wesley, made his address from Israel, chapter 53, verses 3 and 4. He depleted the cause of Jesus' suffering and the reason why Garvey is now suffering. Many warm addresses were given but special mention must be made by Mr. Linton, first vice president, who spoke on "The Day." A nice musical program was rendered. "The face of each and every one half marks of grim determination when a letter from Mrs. Garvey was read of the false news published, regarding Negro's and Mr. Garvey's leadership and urging us to stand behind this indomitable master mind until Africa's redemption is accomplished." The program was as follows: Processional ode, "Lead Us Heavenly Father"; opening ode; president's remarks; hymn from ritual; address by Mr. S. P. Miller, executive secretary; song by the choir; address by Miss A. Sydney, lady president; solo by Mr. Reld; address by Mr. L. E. Linton, in Spanish; address by Mr. S. A. Cruz; address by Mr. R.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WOMAN'S FUNCTION IN LIFE QUITE frequently we hear the question debated as to whether woman's place is in the home, in business, in politics or in industry. Countries differ as to woman's status; but present day events convince us that woman, lovely woman, if you please, is making her presence felt in every walk of life. Some men are slow to admit, that the woman of today has a place in nearly all phases of man's life, and when such a place is not yet properly established, her voice is heard in that regard, yet these men are the ones who more readily fall under the influence of mere woman. The women of the East are fast being emancipated and educated to the point where they no longer consider themselves human incubators and slaves to do the bidding of their husbands, but intelligent, independent human beings to assert and maintain their rights in co-partnership with their men. Recently Mustapha Kemal Pasha, one of the westernized leaders of the East, while addressing some students at the Girls' Training School at Smyrna, was asked the question, "What must Turkish women be?" And he replied as follows: Turkish women must have the best cultivated minds, and must be the most virtuous and the most serious ladies in the world. The duties of Turkish women ought to be to prepare future generations who will be able to protect their country mentally, morally and physically. Women being the source of the nation and the basis of human society, they can only fulfill their duty when they are virtuous. This splendid answer should serve as a guide for Negro women the world over. They must realize that they are indeed the basis of human society, and that the race cannot achieve nationhood and world power unless the women are prepared to wield the proper influence over the men, and exact from them service to race and love for country. Eastern women are taking an active part in all movements for the liberation of their people. Whether they be in India, Egypt or Turkey the new woman is making her impress on the world. Who knows but because of the softening, conscientious effect of woman's entry into politics and big conferences, that the world will be better off and will in the future more readily concede to every race and nation its moral rights. Women are supposed to be tender-hearted. selfish world, they will be able to lessen wars and racial conflicts. Woman's function in life is to soften the ills of thls. wicked old world and to draw man nearer his Creator, in the practice of his beliefs and in his mode of living. If in the carrying out of this most noble task any new departure has to be undertaken it is the duty of noble woman to rise to the exigencies of the demand and continue upon her destined course. "blessing and blessed wherever she goes." Women of the Negro race! If you have not yet heartken to the call to duty, do it now, and fall in line with the women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who feel that their place is alongside of the men, in the thick of the battle, if need be, but always serving the cause of their oppressed race, in the endeavor to redeem Africa, and to lift the race to the level of progress and respect enjoyed by other peoples. Think ye that this is woman's most perfect function in life? Then join our band, and make your contribution, while you are young and full of hope. Mother Africa needs the assistance of her scattered daughters, and surely she shall not call in vain. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Aloe Oil, together with several other positive herbs, ther- for making the hair more hairless.

Call or write: THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1985 IRISH FEMINIST VISIONS FUTURE HOME No Children and No Housework (From The Evening Sun) (From The Evening Sun) In the home of the future there will be no cooking, no housework, no children—and that will be the ideal home. Husband and wife will both be engaged in business or professional activities, meals will be served by the Government or community, housework will be done by machinery and the children will live at their schools from early infancy. These were the opinions expressed here today by Mrs. Margaret Connery of Dublin, internationally known feminist and leader of the woman suffrage movement in Ireland. She would abolish cooking in private kitchens and relieve parents of bringing up their children in order to make the home "purely a place for rest, recreation and refreshment." "It is what we are coming to," she said, "and it is what we should come to. It is economically unsound for the wife to do housework—and she is doing less and less of it as time goes on. It is insufficient for her to cook for her family and even worse for her to raise children along with her other duties. Looking Backward Comparatively few years ago the wife's duties included bake, laundering, making most of her own clothes and many of her husband's garments. Now we have bakeries and laundries, the wife makes very little of her own clothing; and can you imagine her weaving the cloth for a coat for her husband when he can go downtown and outfit himself for one-half the cost and in one hundredth of the time? "As to cooking and serving, infants it is due to become a national industry, carried on by experts trained for the work. It may be a function of the local governments or possibly a community affair run, by the residents of certain streets, or districts. When this time comes the meals will be better prepared and better balanced. It stands to reason that a trained expert can do a better job than a woman with perhaps no training at all and at best training, picked up in hazard. "In the matter of bringing up children, as it is now they start kindergarten at an early age and all their education is conducted away from home. Why pot let them live away from home entirely and thus relieve their mothers of the hundred and one arduous routine duties connected with their upbringing? What the child should get from its home is training in manners, courtesy and politeness—I might say 'general background.' This background would be of a much better character if the child only, visited its home when the circumstances were most propitious and its mother always bright and charming and not worn out by household worries. "When there is this condition in the homes—and I know it will come in time—the wife will be free from the shackles now imposed by marriage. She will be able to take her rightful place in the world of affairs and will become more intelligent, brighter, keener and more attractive. Then she will have a chance to be a home maker instead of a housekeeper. She can bring real atmosphere into her home and make it a place to rest and refresh as it should be." Mrs. Connery is in Washington as a guest of the National Woman's party, being a member of the organizations in the advisory council. Diets and Food Values By the Black Gross Nurses of New York Quality of food. After the energizing power of a substance has been ascertained there remain several other factors which determine its suitability as a food. Digestibility is one of the most important. Absorbability is also of importance, for few substances are completely absorbed into the system, and some, like vegetable proteids and white of egg, are even rejected if taken as food in large amounts, and passed by the bowels unchanged. Thus a considerable amount of all food eaten and especially of the coarser kinds remains unused. Satisfying power is of great importance and depends partly upon the bulk of the food and partly upon its preparation. Food should not be capable of too rapid digestion; or it cannot be fully utilized by the tissues; hence a food like oatmeal is more sustaining in persons of good digestive power than meat essences, also the value of cooking certain foods with fat, which, when it penetrates the other food, retards digestion. As a rule the more satisfying a food is the less digestible it proves, and this is one of the chief reasons that different foods and different methods of cooking suit persons of diverse physique and digestive powers. Preparation by grinding, cooking, etc. is also important. The effect of cooking is partly to develop flavors in the food and make it more palatable and digestible partly to kill orgasmine and animal parasites which may be present in it, and mainly, perhaps, in the case of meat, to soften the connective tissues which bind the most proper and in the case of vegetation, to burn or tear the fibres and encapsles of cellulose vegetables which surround the starchy and sugary material. Animal proteins, eg beef, forms the closest food, and brand is by far the closest, well preserving the meant of the stock of beef. Answer the question. "It is believed by most dentists—and this is an opinion generally held among the laity as well—that the sugar we use in the form of candies acts directly in the destruction of the teeth. "This opinion is so ingrained in the consciousness of most people," says Dr. Thomas J. Ryan in his book on "Teeth and Health," "that to dissent from it amounts almost to a heresy, and stamps the one contradicting or qualifying the accepted opinion as being distinctly heterodox in these matters. "Yet, right here I want to go on record as being heterodox respecting this important subject—not to the fact itself, but as to the way which the fact is brought about." "While it is true that the development ofactic acid from the fermentation of the sugars cuts away the alkaline substance in the enamel of the teeth and favors the development of micro-organisms, this is only one of the ways in which sugar acts. "For the chief damage done by sugar and candy eating in excess is to cause mineral-salt starvation in the system, and the softening of tooth and bone structures, which is a natural consequence of this diet." This is a most important point, and one that every mother, and every humain being interested in teeth, should remember. "The reason is as plain as a pike-staff when it is recalled that the vital processes of the body cannot be carried on except in the presence of lime. Therefore it is that if there is a deficiency of lime salts in the food the body actually must tear down its own mineral structure in order to obtain this necessary material. by it of wonderful process, called reflective "tissue." Time is expected bodily from the only available source of supply in the system—the soluble lime of the teeth and bones. This is gradually drawn upon and consumed—weakening the resistance of the tooth structure—until finally the enamel cracks and breaks down under the strain of mastication, or from the accidental biting of small pieces of bone, crusts of bread or any extra hard substance, and thereby a minute opening into the vulnerable interior of the tooth is effected. "This permits the entrance of a corps of micro-organisms—who are waiting for just such a chance—and the process of destruction is then in full swing. "The real damage, however, was begin long before there was any external evidence of its extent, and was first brought about by the weakening of the tooth structure by reason of the systematic abstraction of its lime salts—afterwards hastened by the destructive action of the bacteria of decay. "Yet sugar and fruit acids, in themselves—and apart from their products of fermentation—have no ill effect upon tooth enamel. In fact, sound teeth can be immersed in a solution of such sugars and acids for months and suffer no croaking influence. So sugar itself has no direct action upon the teeth, and is not, in itself, a cause of bone and lime-salt destruction. "Very few people, even professional men, seem to be aware of this fact, a fact which has a most important bearing upon everyday principles of nutrition. "Yet, here again, the most important reason for tooth decay from sugar eating is apparent. For sugar and lime have just as remarkable an affinity for each other as have iron and oxygen, which combine to form rust. So that when we take into the system an excessive amount of mineral-hungry candies, the sugar eats up the soluble lime of the blood, and the blood, robbed of its store of vital lime salts, acclizes upon the mineral salts stored up in the teeth and in the bones to replenish its supply." est and most efficient forms of proted producing food, after bread, comp skimmed milk, cheese and fish. Fat has double the energy-producing power of carbohydrates, but neverth- eless butter is more than four times as expensive as its equivalent in bread. Hence fatty foods receive the general name of "rich foods." Nevertheless, margarine falls into the list of cheap foods, and proves to be quite as nutritious as butter. (To be continued next week.)

In the meantime Johnny's father arrives and is told of Johnny's conduct, and starts in to take immediate action, rushes into Johnny's room and tries to crawl under the bed. Johnny, begging him, turned over and exclaimed: "Hello, dad, is she after you too?" She--You raked your hat to that girl, who passed. You don't know her, do you?

Many girls have asked me how to capture a bachelor. I tell them they must be very careful, for it is often a dangerous thing to do.

NOTES OF INTEREST It seems likely that in the immediate future, the Soviet Union will take the natural place as a great Asiatic power, with more interests in the Pacific than in Europe. Economically Russia is becoming more closely connected with Western countries as its imports and exports expand; Soviet business and industrial representatives are placing larger and larger orders in England and Germany and America. But politically the trend of the Soviet Union is toward the East; and Loewenr will in all probability accelerate this trend. WILLIAM HENRY CHAMBERLIN In the New Republic. The Chinese Have The Chinese have not forgotten that the princeps made to them at the Washington conference have not yet been carried out. Great Britain had agreed to restore the leased territory of Weihaiwei and France had stated her willingness "in principle" to restore Kwangchowwan to China upon Japan's return of Kiachow. Though the Japanese restored that port in January, 1923, neither France nor England have so far done anything to make their word good. J. H. BALSOM. A. Student's Conviction "First and before all else comes Christ, in whom is universal salvation; the communion of the spirit in the Gospel stands over and above the difference of nation, but that does not destroy our sense of kinship with the nation in which God has placed us; rather it gives us a new love for our country, a new sense of being bound up with its destiny, and a desire to work toward its eternal salvation." England Sheds The league of nations is in trouble again, and so is the world court. Both are refuted. In fact the court is a feeler for the league. Britain wants the oil that is buried generously in the subsell of Mosopotamia. The particular spot is Mosul. England has no more right to the oil than "Yellow Kid" Well of Chicago, our outlawed confidence man, who refuses to join the chamber of commerce and be a regular fellow. Turkey also wants Mosul, and the natives being a good deal like Turks, appear to have a reasonable claim to it. England, however, being tender hearted, fears that the Mosulians would be unhappy under the Turkish "yoke." T. J. O'FLAHERTY. MADARNE ANNIE W. SARBON, Bus of Hamilton Grange Station, NEW YORK CITY.

The recent exposure, through a female denial of Monnature, of a group of British spies operating in Paris, brings up the general question of women military spies. The psychological of army officers makes them particularly susceptible to the wiles of women spies, whether they come from the Paris Latin quarter, the Cherry Hill district of New York, the manions of Fifth avenue or appear in the guise of red cross nurses. Many officers in the French army will have to explain his answers to his superiors. And the superiors themselves are not without guilt in the affairs if reports of the observations of the French military Intelligence department are reliable. Interesting also is the fact that the British department under the direction of that eminent knight of the garter, Mr. Austen Chamberlain, while professing undying devotion to the "spirit of Locarno," should contend defence of the French army by a paid diplomat. Continental and British newspapers blandly admit that every nation has spies operating in every other nation to extort military secrets that may be useful in case of another war. Mille.

A Baby In Your Home THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1925 Spanish Section En el informe anual al secretario del departamento de Trabajo, el comisionado general declaró que la nueva ley de inmigración ha tenido un exito muy satisfactorio y que por primera vez en la historia de los Estados Unidos, se puede considerar que la inmigración está ya en una base permanente y fija. Las dos contribuciones de mayor significado a la mejora de la situación son: el inaugurar el sistema de conceder vistos buenos de emigración en el extranjero, y la formación de patrullas para llegar la fronteras, según declaró el comisionado. Nuestro elemento dotado de todas las facultades para su restablecimiento—Redimamos el Africa o determinémonos a ser víctimas de la sumisión—El espíritu progresista de nuestra generación—La época de la reverencia ha pasado a la historia —Demandemos nuestro derecho No se solicité que la ley anterior fuese cambiada radicalmente. El dice que está, seguro que si es necesário hacer algún cambio legislativo, será de la naturalez de un apendice a la ley. Se debería proveer en la ley con una orden para efectuar una inscripción completa de todos los extranjeros en los Estados Unidos, y también se debería proveer, con order para que los viarones recién llegados al país se registrasen dentro de un plazo limitado después de su llegada. Hemos estado desalentados en el pasado por leaders que nunca tuvieron confianza en sí mismo. Se nos hizo creer y sentir que era inutil el hacer esfuerzos para liberarnos y que nada era posible para, consiguir este fin. Con motivo de tales enseñanzas, hemos luchado y luchamos aún para dar desarrollo a la idea de nuestro engrandecimiento, de manera que pudieramos llamar la atención de personas serias y de buen juicio. También se indicó que para obtener la clasificación de los extranjeros llegados al país antes de pasar el primer-contingente bajo la ley de cuota, esos extranjeros tendrian que ser debidamente examinados por el Servicio, Publico de Sanidad. El comisionado recómindo que se abandonase el limite de los cinco años acerca de las deportaciones, diciendo también que las deportaciones deberían ser continuadas. El universo entero ha sido aleccionado a que considere al negro como un factor, como una fuerza que hay que reconocef, como parte constituyente de la humanidad. Las razas y las naciones no han prestado la debida atención a los asuntos por debatir acerca del negro, porque para ellas esta causa muy poco significa; pero este se ha dado cuenta de su lamentable situación y gradualmente con ideas muy nuevas para su propio desenvolvimiento, va ganando la consideración y el respeto de esas mismas razas y naciones universalmente. Las compañías maritimas no tendrian que ser responsables de los extranjeros llegados en sus vajares cuando obtuvieron pasaje por medios fraudulentos, y el conisionado general urgio la necesidad de dar al secretario del departamento del Trabajo, autoridad para decidir si habría que devolver el dinero importe del pasaje. El mundo continuará pasandonos inadvertidamente, cerrando sus ojos, hasta que no le impresionemos suficientemente con nuestros actos y nuestra intención de camblar el presente status de una raza por largo tiempo oprimida. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y todos su ramales organizados, esta usando su mejor influencia para que esa impresión se deje sentir y la humanidad toda se dé cuenta de la seriedad y gran determinación que posee el negro del presente, para hacer reconocer los derechos y privilegios a que esta llamado a obtener y ser considerado al igual que los otros hermanos que habitan la tierra, esto es: como raza, como queblo, como humanidad. También encomendo el trabajo llevado a cabo por las patrullas de las fronteras, diciendo que están haciendo un trabajo muy eficiente a pesar de la limitación del dinero disponible, contrarrestando el tráfico de los contrabandistas de personas. Solicita que la apropiación para este año sea aumentada a dos millones, o sea el double de la apropiación recibida el año pasado, con el fin de aumentar debidamente el personal de dicho servicio. Apesar de la importancia de una dirección eficiente, no debemos perder de vista que aquellos que constituyen las masas hacen la fuerza, forman el todo en que debe descansar nuestra salvación en el futuro. Si queremos grandes oportunidades y mayores privilegios, tenemos necesariamente que unir nuestras fuerzas para realizar ese deseo. Muchos de nosotros creemos aun que nada puede hacerse; es una desgracia que encontremos tantos seres débiles entre nosotros. Cualquier hombre que en todo tiempo crea que entre la extensión de la cuna a la tumba no puede hacer nada para su propio progreso, debe considerarse un cero en la gran suma de la humanidad y como tal, sin condición alguna, debe ser clasificado. Distribuyendose lo ajeno Confirmase en centros bien informados que estim llevando a efecto francas negociaciones para decidir la suerte del puerto de Tanger. Adenas de las conferencias recientes sobre Marruecos que se celebraron en Madrid, se han llevado a cabo otras. Se cree en buenos centros de información que será al fin entregado a la posesión de España, aunque se ignoran en los absolutos las condiciones en que se haga el cambio. Dios creo, a todos los hombre iguales ya fuesen blancos, amarillos o negros; por lo tanto, con admitir que no podemos hacer como raza lo que las otras han hecho, tiramos un borron de bochoron e insultos al Todo Podéroso que nos dio una misma alma, un mismo cuerpo, un mismo cerebro. La color es cuestión accidental y es un atrevimiento crasísimo perturbar la ética que tuviera el Gran Artffice al hacer su gran obra maestra—el hombre. Si nos llamamos hombres, estamos en el deber de probarlo. No hay nada que haga el hombre blanco que no pueda hacerlo elamarillo o el negro. Por lo tanto, no dejemos estraviar nuestra mente y desviarnos de lo recto, haciendo por Africa lo que los otros han hecho por Europa, Asia y America. Se supone, sin embargo que España cederá a Francia por lo menos Alcalazarquirv, teniendo en cuenta la importancia que este punto tiene en el porvenir del ferrocarril proyecto entre Tänger y Fez. Parece que Inglaterra se halle bien dispuesta en relación con la entrega de Tänger a España, amueva a su vez tiene ciertas exigencias que estan siendo discutidas entre las tres potencias ahora. Sábese que en las negociaciones interviene activamente Italia, así como los Estados Unidos en menor grado. Pero se ignoran los puntos de vista respectivos. Es evidente, con todo, que se aproximan acontecimientos importantes en esta cuestión. No desearíamos vivir si estuvieramos satisfechos de ser un peón, un siervo, un esclavo. Tal es pues el espiritu del negro del presente; aspirar a ser un hombre libre, es decir, no ser un muñeco, un sicofante, un bufón; desea hacerse un hombre real. ¿Qué razón tiene el negro para mirar hacia las otras razas y depender de ellas para su ayuda y sustento? ¿Qué razón tiene el negro para pedir a otro que haga por el lo que puede hacer por sí mismo, cuando se halla dotado física, mental y espiritualmente para cualquier desenvolimiento? Voluntad soberana Queremos nuestras bebidas, es el sentimiento expresado en todas partes del globo, especialmente en los territorios mandatados, donde piden la igualdad en materia de derecho a consumir licores. La altesa de mira es lo que debe dominar a todo hombre, para llegar a la consecución de todas las aspira-iones. Necesitamos primero tener creencia propia, antes de emprender cualquier obra. Si estamos en la creencia de que nada podemos hacer, reconocemos la superioridad de aquellos que se desenvuelven y se desarrollan con gran exito, apesar de tener nosotros los mismos medios y estar en las mismas condiciones. Nadie puede agrandar ni aminorar esa superioridad sino nosotros mismos, toda vez que poseemos la fuerza para ascender al punto mas culminante de la posibilidad humana. La protesta más energica procede de las poblaciones en las islas del Pacifico, bajo los mandatos de Australia y Nueva Zelanda, donde los nativos argumentos que si las potencias mismas permiten en sus territorios la venta y el consumo de licores no hay razon para que vaya a prohibirse en los países bajo mandato. Los nativos reclaman en materia de. bebidas el principio de la voluntad soberana del pueblo. La época de la limosa, de la cortesia sumisa, de la reverencia humillante ha pasado ya. Nuestro derechos y privilegios han sido y son aun lesionados. No vemos la necessidad de preocuparnos por quien pueda afenderse, siempre y cuando demandemos lo que en realidad es justo nuestro de toda justicia y Santa equidad: Nuestros derechos y nacionalidad han sido usurpados y en su restitucion no que dar satisfacción a nadie. Es pues obra exclusiva en nuestra el demander con toda energía y valor de todas y el restituir a toda costa ope derechos, pues allí es constituto de la luz, en una Africa exploradora hay nuestro oya legitimidad en de nuestra raza y en obsequio ben gran esfuerzo unido y mayor dignidad a ella en nuestra galicia. La escasez de viviendas en algunas ciudades del norte y las malas condiciones en que se hallan las clases atestadas de familias ha hecho aumentar la tensión entre los individuos de la raza y los blancos según informes pagados ante el comité ejecutivo del consilio federal de la iglesia por la comisión investigadora de las relaciones entre raza. El alo pasado sobre posados los doses de todos en el desmovimiento de las bases relaciones entre males tama en este país, dien el alo forme; pero en Cleveland, Kansas City, Detroit y otras ciudadas hay sentimientos opuestos y es imperativo que el concilio se ocupe con preferencia de las académodiciones caseras por medio de comisiones especiales. Hasta el 14 de noviembre del año actual quince linchamientos se registraron en el país siendo todas las victimas de la raza y el informe recomienda a este respecto que se haga presión desde el pulpito sobre el horroroso espectaculo que se presenta al mundo civilizado con estos hechos que degradan al país. Los otros puntos que se tratarian en la sesión de hoy del concilio-federal de iglesias fue la prohibición a pesar de las objectionas presentados en el informe de la comisión carecian de comprobantes.

STUART-YOUNG Of Onitsha, Nigeria, West Africa At twenty I found myself beneath an African sun. And Africa it was that brought me a new life, a wonderful inflow of colorable experience. I felt that life had been enriched, made ampler, more intensely attuned to the spirit of creation. I had about me glorious trees—palm and eucalyptus, cedar and cottonwood and mahogany, birds of radiant plumage filled their branches. Butterflies floated, from flower to flower. Night, and day the wind could be heard, now silhouant as a whisper of warning, now shrill as the clarion call of high-endeavor. High among the lavae grazed squirrel and monkey; and always at my side was the care-free native, living only for the day that was newly-born, and reckless of an intangible morrow. He was mine as both companion and friend. Can you wonder I was happy? Such was Africa to me at twenty. Such, with certain minor modifications, is Africa to forty-five. Now does the fiction that bulks so largely in the magazines give the stay-at-home White any true idea of life in the tropics. Is the author invariably true to his vision of the world? "To ask the modern man of letter whether he has told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth bulks to the town reader) quite trivially, when compared with the demand, 'Can you hypnotise your public into forgetfulness of life' a more sorridal aspect for an hour or two?" "Forgetfulness" is the predominant keynote of the fiction which the discerning editor demands of his writers, the skill to cast, a glamour over the mind of the reader, and to make him happy with the charma of illusion. To create beauty and to clarify goodness should be the first aim of the artist, no matter what his material may be. But apparently the modern press has developed quite another standard. Beneficent lucre, in a scramble for the annealing dollar, appears as the end and aim of all workers for the chromatic or rainbow type of magazine monthly. Take the Sanders' books. That Mr. Edgar Wallace spent a few months in the very district from which I write this article, has given him authority for half a dozen volumes of short stories with Sanders, Bones and Bosonets an protagonists. Are these stories real. The only justification for a continuance of the series lies in the public innable demand for more. No astute editor would recommend the voluntary abdication of a Sherlock Holmes, and Sanders belongs to exactly the same school as Conan Doyle's impossible detective. That many journalists have, on the other hand, been residents in Nigeria a quarter of a century, and have not been found worthy of one book to Mr. Wallace's six can only—so the discerning editor assumes—be due to mental ostensiveness. No reader of the magazines would remind himself of that sly reluctance which prevents an artist from presenting, in a million chrome-copies, a highly colored counterfeit presentation of his mother. But Africa is no more Mr. Eskar Wallace's maternal parent than she is his nurse. Mr. Wallace belongs quite quintessentially to the cities of the world: New York, London, Berlin, Paris. He is Progress identified. Hence the public may accept my positive assurance that West Africa no more resembles these fascinating and facile yarns than it resembles the Mountains of the Moon. Natives do not open their address to Whitman with the plough祭祀, "Lord!" They do not parade primeval forests with spears in their hands. They do not shiver in broad daylight at the mere mention of Shima-Shima the god of Lightning and Tempest. Nor do they wear a secret, talsman on the left ankle that leagues them to a secret Brotherhood of the Bullfrog! Early American Settlers And Their Descendants By The MARQUISE DE FONTENOY In The New York Sun Fortunately the Fortescues will not find themselves completely homeless. For they have still left a small but interesting, official residence in the Norman Gateway of Windsor Castle. This they hold by reason by John Eggescuce's membership of the Royal Household as King George's librarian and keeper of the sovereign's archives. It is the fact that he holds these offices, which carry with them merely nominal pay but many social and official prerogatives, that causes so much weight and importance to be attached in the United States to anything he may happen to write and to print about America. For, naturally having access to all the archives of the reigning house in both the present and earlier reigns, it is taken for granted that in his published statements he represents not only the views of the former kings and queens of England but even those of the now reigning monarch. Just now Fortescue is once more in the public eye of the people on this side of the Atlantic in connection, with his recent publication of a work entitled "The George III. Paper." The testimonials, which he apparently deduced from the royal archives dealing with the reign of George III, are to the effect that "if the first American soldiers were to present themselves in New York today most of them would, perhaps not including those on the Marshow, be relegated at once to little Island" and also that "Americans are of a very curious rite; Virginia in the early days had been poor HOW TO ACQUIRE RACIAL KNOWLEDGE READ THE PHILOSOPHY AND OPINIONS OF MARCUS GARVEY Edited by AMY JACQUES GARVEY Know what is really going on in world politics to affect the Negro.

And it has likewise served to recall the expressions which he used in a public lecture in 1911 in London, when he insisted that "the United States cannot engage in any form of competition from athletics to diplomacy without using foul play. They must win, if not by fair kill then by prearranged trickery or violence." It was this utterance and some others of a still more objectionable character, which led Secretary Weeks to refuse John Fortescue permission to deliver at West Point the Armillace Day address when he visited America in 1822. TYNDALE'S BIBLE FIRST PRINTED 400 YEARS AGO is 400 years this year since the first copies of William Tyndale's translation of the New Testament game surreptitiously from the press at Cologne, to be followed in after years by those books of the Old Testament that Tyndale lived to complete. This was not the earliest translation of the Scriptures into English, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Tyndale had made a version almost two centuries before, and then were still earlier translations of parts of the Bible in Saxon, Early English and Norman French. But between the fourteenth and sixteenth century the English tongue was made over. It sloughed off the Saxon roughness and absorbed into its structure the French elements it was to reserve. Tyndale's translation was no longer in the vernacular in 1525. A new version was needed if the Bible was to be read and understood by the people. To this task the young scholar and priest, William Tydale, devoted himself. He could not get his work printed in England, where the prelates were still unwilling to put the Bible into the hands of the congregation folk. So he went abroad, first to Cologne, then to Worms, then to Antwerp, as he was driven about by the vigilant persecution of the church authorities. He worked in secret, got his books printed in secret, when and where he could, and many copies found their way into England.

Royal Guard's, Com. of Arrangements DIVORCE RATE JUMPS Washington, Dec. 7.—More persons were united by divorce and fostered by marriage in the United States last year than in 1923. The rate of divorces was nearly one for every ten marriages. The Department of Commerce, which compiles figures every year on the comparative popularity of the two institutions, announced today that the total number of marriages last year was 1,178,206, falling off of 3.7 per cent from the 1923 total of 1,223,924. Divorces registered a grand total of 170,867, an increase of 8.5 per cent from 165,098 in 1923. Texas led in divorces granted last year, with a total of 18,375 compared with 71,869 *marriages*. Illinois had the second largest number of divorces, 13,658, against 81,918 *marriages*. Ohio, California and Michigan came next. The New York record was 4,623 divorces against 106,312 marriages. In Nevada, divorces almost balanced marriages, being 1,307 against 1,079. South Carolina, where there is not divorce, had 20,555 *marriages*, and the nearest approach to its record for divorcellessness, appeared, in the District of Columbia, where there were only 126 divorces. 470-Year-Old Bible To Be Auctioned Here LONDON, Dec. 7. — Edward Goldston, a London book dealer, announces that his famous 470-year-old Gutenberg Bible is soon to be sent to New York to be sold at auction in February.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Along with fighting for the right to live and the struggle to keep starvation from the door, the Negro is compelled to fight and overcome hatred, prejudice and injustice. This is a difficult battle and the greatest friend the Negro has had in waging it up this time is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Before the coming of this organization many Negroes had been sitting quietly waiting for something to happen to help their condition, defiled by false and vain hopes held out to them by foolish leaders. The Negro will never get what he wants and need until he goes out for it. Nobody is going to hand it to him. We will never be free, never be respected until we show to the world that we are made of the real stuff of which men are made. The Hon. Marcus Garvey has shown us that the condition of our people is as much the result of a condition as of a difference in color. Let us change that condition. Nothing but hard work will do. Let us get behind the N. U. L. A. and put the program over. RUDOLPH A. FOLKES, Camagua, Cuba. Negroes Must Build Profting from the Present To the Editor of The Negro World: I am a regular white reader of your interesting weekly, "The Negro World." I would like to offer a comment on an editorial appearing in a recent issue of your paper. The title of this editorial was "Rebuilding Palestine as Africa Must Ro." If we are going to have a Negro republic I am wondering why it would need to be patterned after Palestine rather than any other republic. We know that in Palestine they are building a capitalist republic, while in Russia they have a workers' republic in the making. Will the Negro in Africa have to go through the same awful experiences that the white race has endured in building the kinds of republics they have today. Why not start fight in Africa and profit by the mistakes of other nations in the past? Yours for Negro emancipation. Likes Co-operative Farming Plan for Cuba To the Editor of The Negro World: I am pleased to notice in The Negro World of November 21 that the cooperative farming suggested by Mr. Campbell some time ago, is about to take effect among the members of the U. N. I. A. in Cuba. This, in my opinion, would be a very wise scheme and would help to get our people more in unity, help the association to a great extent and relieve most of us from the island wage slavery. When we stop and consider that at present we (most of us) are practically working for the farm owners for nothing but a piece of white paper which can be spent nowhere else but in the canteen on the property where we are working, and if you were to ask for a dime to buy stamps, you would be told there is no money we would gladdly go through fire and water, throwing all our strength and energy into the thing If you are troubled with constipation, biliosiness, indigestion, gas belching, liver trouble, stomach trouble, skin eruption and weak bowels, ORDER a bottle of AH indigestion distress after eating is gone.

Incarceration of Garvey An Awakening to Cuba To the Editor of The Negro World: Without doubt the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the most talked about organization in the world today. This monster movement has attracted the attention of both blacks and whites, and has caused the Negro in very many cases to be respected where he would not have been otherwise. White men here come of them, at any rate, after having fully understood the work of the Hon. Micus Garvey and the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have many times asked the question, "But, after all, why should Garvey be interested?" This state of affairs has caused the sleeping consciousness of the Negro in Cuba to be awakened, and greater things could be accomplished here not for the present financial death. But now distinguishing this death of finance, the Negroes here are determined to carry on, and I have faith that the day is not far distant, when the Negro shall come into his own. I am a member of the New York Local on a visit to the West Indies, and for the enthusiasm I have witnessed among the Garveyes here I am compelled to appeal to our heavy men who hold the vanguard. To you, noble sons of Africa, I say, "Carry your souls shall be the glory of the day." MRS. E. M. WILMOT San Germán, Cola. Reminds Negroes of Great Leader's Suffering To the Editor of The New York World In reading The Nugget's few weeks ago I was very impressed with a remark that was said to be used by the Hon. Marcos Garvey. The world were: "Would they forget me?" As soon as my eyes flashed across those lines a feeling of sadness overcame me and since then every time I recall them my heart grieves. It seems to me the saddest remark made by our great leader who is now in prison for the most magnanimous cause ever undertaken for our race since the struggle for liberty began. The librarians of all ages who were imprisoned for a just cause were always complained because they knew that their supporters were dead and so if they die in prison their names will be immortalized. I do not presume for one moment that the Hon. Marcus Garvey has lost faith in his supporters; but the simulator circumstances which surround him on all sides, the enemies of the same race, who are doing their level best to frustrate his plans, together with the criticism and misunderstanding he has to encounter would cause, even a Christ to exclaim, "I wonder if they would forget me?" All leaders, whether at liberty or imprisoned, have had their times of depression. They compare the past with the present and draw a true vision of the future. As I write my eyes are filled with tears, "Would we forget our Leader?" Think of his financial, domestic and physical hardships he is suffering for us all. Only An old-fashioned, true and honest hair grown. Try it. Ladies, let us send you a fall six months treatment for $1.00. because he so loved a race whom he thinks is fit to take its place as Lords of Creation also. Consider that while all the world of Negroes are enjoying the fullness of life in rich or lowly state, Marcus Garvey is enduring the cold atmosphere of a prison cell. In my mind's eye I see him thoughts concentrated on racial emancipation and nightmares riding him into networks of European mates, and as he tries to extricate himself his cry is "Let my people go." Such a leader is worthy of all the honor, loyalty, support and immortalization that his followers can produce. Let us enshrine him in our hearts, seeing with him through the same spectacles, follow him step by step toward his ideal, follow his teachings to the letter and so encourage him in his noble work so that he will always ready to say he is sure that we will never forget him. $10 in Bank 1,000 Years To Glut World Finance A $10 deposit to promote thrift has been placed by Henry C.

P. R. English Widows Losing In the Marriage Race LONDON. English widows seem to be losing their coming. Marriage registration records show that comparatively fewer widows are remarrying now than at any time in the last half century. The unmarried candidate for marriability appears to be having most of the success. Analysts of the matrimonial outlook say this change is due to improvement in the wisdom and judgment of the unmarried girl. She has become more practical, they say, and has stolen much of the widow's advantage with the marriagable male. Since modern conditions have brought her greater freedom she has been able to learn how to be a comrade to a man, to study him at close range, analyze his psychologically and to discover that, he wants something more in a wife than a clothes dummy.

This constitution was passed by the South African Parliament, and in addition to it an advisory voice was given to the white inhabitants on such subjects as the Cape Government reserved to itself. This is a long step toward reconciling the German colonists, who were taken over with the territory on the conclusion of the war, to their Anglo-Dutch rulers. They had the choice of becoming British subjects or, remaining German, but only 262 of some 7,000 Germans voted to retain their nationality. General J. B. M. Hertzok, the South African Premier, himself a formerponent of British authority, deviseed the constitution, which gives to the territory, a legislature of eighteen members, twelve of whom are elected and six appointed by the Union Government. Native affairs, mines, mineral oils, precious stones, the railways, courts, post office, defense and tariffs are subjects on which authority is reserved to the Union of South Africa. Temporarily Cape Town will also control the police, civil aviation, State supported schools and the disposal of public lands. After three years the territory, by a vote of two-thirds of the legislature, may assume control of the latter subjects. The executive consists of a committee of five, the chairman being appointed by the Union Government, the others chosen by the legislature. This committee will be a link between the territory and Cape Town. There are 20,000 Europeans in the country, while the Hottentots, Bishopsmen and other Negroes gather about 200,000. Of the Europeans only the adult males, about 6,500 men, have the right to vote. The Germans have been persecuted by allowing the use of their language in the courts and legislature. All parties seem to be pleased with the conditions and it is considered inevitable that the territory will one day form part of a great union of South African States.
