The Negro World

Three Blind Mice George A. Weston, George O. Marke and Wesley Macdonald Holder, three gentlemen who are now asking out an existence in New York by trying to mislead a few unsuspecting members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and who believe they are called by God to fill, between them, the role Marcus Garvey fills, are earning the ridicule, contempt and inscription of Negroes everywhere because of their fantastic efforts to split the Association and usurp the power and influence of Marcus Garvey. They are the leaders of the much press-agented "Anti-Garvey Faction in New York," who recently engineered a mock convention attended by a few New Yorkers whom they had been able to hoodwink. At this "convention" George O. Marke, ousted from the Association last March, was solemnly elected "Supreme Potentate" of we know not what; George A. Weston, formerly a vice-president of the New York Local, was elected "Secretary-General." The two first-named, we are informed, shortly after the elections, were each presented with a cake on the side-walks of New York. These ridiculous proceedings were described and sent to certain papers, white and black, inimical to Marcus Garvey and his glorious movement, together with a lengthy screed vilifying Marcus Garvey. It was sought to give the impression that the convention was held by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and that Marcus Garvey's leadership was repudiated by the people. Since international publicity is what this Weston-Marke-Holder triumvirate craves, here it is: "Supreme Potentate" Marke: A native of Sierra Leone, West Africa, well educated, shrewd and crafty, the personification of laziness; who as a delegate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the League of Nations brought ridicule and disgrace to the organization by reason of his conduct at Geneva. “President-General” Weston: A native of Antigua, British West Indies, an irresponsible dreamer, of little or no education, who wept when Garvey was led off to jail and who, perchance, may weep again when his chief is released from jail. “Secretary-General” Holder: A native of British Guiana where he was a five-dollar-a-month school teacher in a little village called Buxton; hardly able to pen two consecutive, correct sentences, yet with a mania for long, high-sounding words; who next to being a Negro leader would be a Negro “Sheik.” This vital information is being given to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association so that they will know how to deal with any letters or circulars that may reach them from the above-named gentlemen, or with any of their representatives who may visit divisions of the Association in an effort to spread their insidious propaganda. CALLS UPON NEGROES ALL OVER THE WORLD TO STRIED FIRM AND WARD OFF THE DANGER WHICH IMPENDS FOR THE RACE Hine, M. L. T. De Mena Says If It Was Right for the White Man to Drive Off the Indians and Take Possession of American Then It Is Doubly Right for Black Men to Wrest Their Heritage From the Hands of the Alien New York City, Sunday Night, September 5.—In spite of continuous rain the faithful members of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assembled at the Commonwealth Casino in large numbers to seek inspiration for carrying on the work of the organization. Mon. Fred A. Toote, acting president-general, was in the chair, while with him on the platform were Hon. P. Lavi Lord, chancellor; Hon. W. A. Wallace, secretary-general; Mme. M. T. Do Mena, assistant international commissioner, and a number of visitors. Mr. Toote was the principal speaker all in an eloquent and furious admonition painted out to the rude the singer which lay in standing mid-angle when the nations of the world then first eliminating the Negro as an economic factor and taking hold of his presumptions. He prayed the small kind of men in New York who, failed from obscurity by Marcus Garvey, then now nothing by violent propaganda and the aid of enemy pigs to make the world believe that Negroes had turned from the leadership of the threatened leader. Hippa M. L. T. Do Mason made a very distinguished address and created great enthusiasm in our immutable style he laughed the critics and implied the relationship to greater affection. She called the city statement that it was objective for the association to have differentiated ranks by pointing out that the unformed ranks were the symbol of the U. M. L. A's teaching and were all effective means of showing to Megrose the realism back of Carvey's famous poem. The speakers were as follow: Mr. Abdullah Gowd, a native of West Africa, was the first speaker. A station of many wars, he said he felt regret was that he had fought for the British during the world war, a situation compounded only by the knowledge that he was now in a better position to strike a blow for Africa when the time came. He belonged, he said, to a fighting tribe which was famed for its spirited stand for freedom and independence. "not a tribe like that to which George O. Mark, now fighting this great organization in New York City, belonged. This gentleman's tribe sold out to the English, so it is not surprising to me to find him seeking to disrupt your organization and mine." He advised the membership to continue the good work with renewed courage buoyed up by the knowledge that all Africa was with them. Marcos Garvey was, a name to conjure with in Africa, and his imprisonment in America had only served to open the eyes of some who were still aleep, "Why don't you come home?" he cried, "Why don't you stick together and come home?" White men are exploiting the wealth of your country and you are sitting here waiting for the crumbs that fall from the white man's table." And then he concluded, "Come home is my message to you. 'Onward, Christian soldiers, march as to war, with the cross of Garvey going on—to Africa." MME. DE MENA'S ADDRESS Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, assistant international organizer, was the next speaker. She said: "I am sure I am very glad to be back again to look into your faces, to look upon the beautiful, amuseable, white-robed black cross dresses, to look upon the beautifully uniformed legionaires, to look upon you all, ladies and gentlemen, as you here in your hundreds in spite of the inclement weather. Listening, hungry and thrusty, for some word that will make your hearts rejoice. You, let me explain what they will, these unified ranks, the legionaires, your Three to Asthma and May Fever Sufferers More Than of Dignified Thin Adverse On the Without Bleosfort or Loss of Time The following is pledged for the relief of the asthmatic and may fever sufferers who are in difficulty whether your skin is irritated or swollen, or in congestion, or in pain and for a free and easy passage through the air. We are sure that you will be relieved and that you will be able to breathe and walk freely. We are grateful to the people of the United States for their kindness and for their help. We are also grateful to the people of the United Kingdom for their kindness and for their help. We are grateful to the people of the United States for their kindness and for their help. We are grateful to the people of the United States for their kindness and for their help. Garvey Most Revered Man in the West Because of His Honesty and High Ideal black cross nurses, your motor corps, they are Marcus Garvey's dream in reality. (Applause.) Nothing brings greater inspiration to the hearts of black men, nothing brings more pride to the Negro peoples of the world than to know and realize that every time they book upon those uniformed ranks it is not the white man's idea, but it is the idea of a great black race of people, an idea born in the mind of their own black giant. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) A Negro Program "Tonight we are not limiting anybody. Tonight we have s. program separate and distinct from any other program promulgated in the world. We have a program of which we are proud because that program is a Negro program. It is not a program that the white man get up over light and told the Negroes to follow, and like some ordinary little animal we follow where he leads, follow him to nowhere, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association has a program born in a black man's brain, born in the mind of a black giant, a program destined to make of us real men and women in a world where sin and hate and thieving and injustice predominate. "We are proud that we are members of a movement, the greatest movement that the world has ever known, a movement that the world is watching, a movement that is causing England to put her care to the ground to listen to the mighty rumbling that precedes the crisis that will shake the world from center to circumference. It is the movement that is making France wonder whether when the next great war comes she will be able to count upon the great Monégasque fighter for aid. Yes, it is the movement that is causing the ferment over Tangier: it is the movement that is making Muscalini turn feverish attention to the North African coast. "But we, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, want to serve notice upon England and France and Italy and all of the great powers that they have to consult Negroes about it. (Applause). It is not mere talk any more. There is going to be real action. We have decided that there must be a revolution in the minds of men, that the desire for freedom and liberty must be built up. And if in this country today men can boast that they came here 180 years ago, (Continued on page 2). By GARVEY EYE In the Belize Independent There is no man in this Western world, black or white, who is more revered than Marcus Garvey. Marcus Garvey has no government influence or economic system to force any loyalty to him. In fact, in Belize, an economic system against Garvey is so arranged and nailed on the lamp-post that very few men of ordinary standing care to risk an open declaration of their admiration for Marcus Garvey. The Garvey-haters wonder what kind of a man is this man Garvey, to attract so much thought of him. Right here we will admit that we board of a government for Negroes before Garvey came on the scene. We also agree that attempts were made to free Africa from foreign domination before Garvey came on the scene. The Negro was not lacking in ideas for freedom; it was lack of good, honest leadership that kept the race down in the in the slums so long. Many leaders came with Ideas and plans, but for a good job or an admittance to the "high civil" they slipped off the scene. The ideal of a man is to his master, his thought his religion, his body his tools. The ideal governs the thought, and the thought governs the actions. If the ideal of a man is to a free and redeemed Africa, his thought must be of a redeemed Africa, and his actions must be of a redeemed Africa. The kind of a coin in his very existence that cannot be changed by any ordinary person. The kind of a coin should not be touched with anything without authority because it should be the provider of protection. When James NEGRO ENTURBED BY SAND SINGS UNTIL RESCUED Air Hose Passed to Him at Critical Moment Serves as Trumpet While Workmen Dig Him Out—Amazing Courage Shown (From The New York Herald, Sept. 2) William Clark, a Negro employed on a gigantic concrete mixer over the Eighth avenue subway excavation at Central Park West and Eighty-first street, had a pleasantly narrow escape from death yesterday. He slipped and was buried in a slope of sand sliding directly into the mixer and brushed death twice, once nearly extinction in the grinder and later coming close to being suffocated in the sand which covered him, and few such perils have developed a jollier atmosphere or produced more entertaining singing. "It is a distinct pleasure," declared W. A. Grover, superintendent of the work, afterward, "to participate in the rescue from death of a man of 'Cark' disposition." Working on the edge of the steep slide of sand. Clark caught eight of a wooden block bound for the hopper, an object that might wreck the machine, and he stepped down to throw it out. He sank immediately to his waist and began moving slowly with the sand toward the grinding mixer below. Apparently unafraid, he roared down at the workmen. "You all down there stop that mixer!" The engineer leaped to the lever and halted the machine, but Clark's danger was not past. He was sinking steadily, seemingly bound to be buried alive before help could reach him, when another workman slashed off a twelve-foot length of water hose and throw one end to the Negro. Clark clapped it to his nose and mouth, and thus partly protected against suffocation, contentedly sank from sight into the sand. Then the workmen began the long and dangerous work of digging him out, they themselves running risks of being sucked down into the sand alms, but Clark, from his subterranean couch, succeeded in tempting the tense atmosphere by remarks born of a philosophy that was being mellowed by sand. "Tell 'em," he called up the tube, "I got a date with my girl tonight, and I aln't almin' to keep her waitin' no longer n we hafta. I don't ever alm to keep a lady waitin', much less disappoint her. Work fast, buddy." The workmen worked as fast as they could. Clark sang "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord" and "Wash Those Sands Away" and commented on other matters that struck him at the time an worthy of comment. Finally, after three-quarters of an hour, he was out. He needed whirly, he said. Somebody produced a "shot" of pure grain alcohol. "Another one," said Clark, as he was taken away to the Knickerbocker Hospital, "and I bury mahself again." Christ needed a thunderous voice. He selected Peter. When He needed a treasurer he selected Judas. When a thunderous voice was not needed Peter proved too weak. When it was a principle, and not cash, Judas proved a traitor. With all the apparent cottings of Jesus Christ in His methods, He did not move one jot from His ideal, in thought or action. change his African ideal failed, the With nothing in his favor Marcus Garvey came on the scene with the slogan "Africa for Africans, at home and abroad." When the temptations to change his African ideal failed, the vicious combine used their governmental influence and placed him in jail. The jail-house as a boycott on a man's principle is nineteen hundred years out of date: Jesus Christ broke the bars of that gate from the date of the sepulchre. We are some times told "Garvey is an autocrat," but we ask "Was there ever a greater autocrat than Jesus Christ on the point of principle?" No, certainly not. In His methods He told His followers "ya are gods," "greater things than I can ye do." On principle. He said "I am the way, the truth and the light." A close study of Marcus Garvey would reveal that he is humble when the principle of African Redemption is not attacked. You are hereby informed that Dr. J. d. Paterra, third assistant president general, has resigned from office and has no further official connection with the association.

ABYSSINIA SENDS STRONG PROTEST TO THE LEAGUE Reminds Predatory European Powers That Her Courageous Soldiers Still Know How to Fight in Defense of Their Country. (From The New York Nation) Abyssinia Appeals to the League Since Abyssinia became a member of the League of Nations she has remained undisturbed in her inland state, surrounded by British, French and Italian territories. Recently she received notes from Great Britain and Italy, announcing that they had decided to take certain concessions in her territory. Great Britain has long desired to control the waters of the Blue Nile for the irrigation of her Sudan cotton fields by a dam at the headwaters of the river, which happened to be Lake Tana in Abyssinia. In return Italy would be permitted to build a railway across Abyssinia connecting her territories of Britsea and Somaliland. This they had arranged between them, without consulting Abyssinia. The Abyssinian Government turned to the League, with the note reprinted below from the Manchester Guardian Weekly for August 6: Our Government recently received from the British and Italian Governments identical notes informing it that these Governments had arrived at an agreement to support each other with a show of obedience agreement for the British Government to understand the可靠性 of waters of our Lakes Teana and for the Italian Government to construct a railway through our empire. We have been profoundly moved by the conclusion of this agreement, arrived at without our being consulted or informed, and by the action of the two Governments in sending us a joint notification. In the first place, on our admission to the League we were told that all nations were to be on a footing of equality within the League, and that their independence was to be universally respected, since the purpose of the League is to establish and maintain peace among men in accordance with the will of God. We were not told that certain members of the League might make a separate agreement to impose their views on another member even if the latter considered those views incompatible with its national interest. Secondly, one of the subjects covered by the agreement had already been discussed between the British Government and our own, and the fact that no conclusion had yet been reached was due to reasons of whose nature and importance we were fully aware. We had, however, never given any definite reply. We cannot help thinking, therefore, that in agreeing to support each other in these matters, and in giving us joint notification of that agreement, the two Governments are endeavoring to exert pressure on us in order to induce us to comply with their demands prematurely, without leaving any time for reflection or consideration for our people's needs. The people of Abyssinia are anxious to do right, and we have every intention of guiding them along the path of improvement and progress, but throughout their history they have seldom met with foreigners who did not desire to possess themselves of Abyssinian territory and to destroy their In just a few days—quicker than yea ever dreamed of—these wonderful health building, flesh making tablets called McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Comp ound Tablets will start to help any thin, underweight little one. After skinned she where tablets are not actually valuable. No need to give them any more neatly Cod Liver Oil—these tablets are made to take the place of that good, but evil smelling, stomach upsetting medicine and they surely do it. independence. With God's help, and thanks to the courage of our soldiers, we have always—come what might—great power and will upon our native homeland. For this reason we believe in helping us, we have to obtain our freedom that fortifies us who wish to question the policies for economic reasons in our country or on the frontline between it and their possessions are genuinely innocent of concealed political aims, and we doubt whether agreements and joint representations such as these now in question are the best means of instilling that conviction. Nor must it be forgotten that we have only recently been introduced to modern civilization and that our history, glorious though it be, has not prepared us for ready adjustment to conditions which are often quite beyond the range of our experience. Nature herself has never gone forward by sudden bounds, and no country has been metamorphosed in a night. With our well-known eagerness for progress, given time and the friendly advice of countries whose geographical position has enabled them to out distance us in the race, we shall be able to secure gradual but continual improvements, which will make Abyssinia great in the future as she has been throughout the past, but if we try to go too fast accidents may happen. We should like to hear from members of the League whether they think it right that means of pressure should be exerted upon us which they themselves would doubtless never accept. We have the honor to bring to the notice of all states members of the League correspondence which we received in order that they may decide whether that correspondence is compatible with the independence of our country, inasmuch as it includes a stipulation that part of our empire is to be allotted to the economic influence of a given Power. We cannot but realize that economic influences and political influence are very closely bound up together, and it is our duty to protest most strongly against an agreement which, in our view, conflicts with the essential principles of the League of Nations. GENEVA, Sept. 2.—The Universal Peace Congress today passed a resolution saying that the recent accord between Great Britain and Italy for "economic penetration of Abrysina" represents an attempt at illegitimate pressure on Abrysina. The resolution condemns the record as incompatible with the spirit of the Covenant of the League of Nations and modern conception of international law. It also urges the creation of an international commission, acting under the League of Nations, to solve the problem of distribution of the waters of the Nile, with Abyssinia, Egypt, and the Sudan representing on it. Another resolution passed by the Congress proclaims that the protection of Egypt to adversary over Tangier. It recommends that the League of Nations take over control of the internationalized city in Northwest Morocco. Wilds of Australia Will Be Explored An expedition which is expected to produce results of great scientific and economic importance is being sent from Adelaide, South Australia, to explore unknown lands in the Northern Territory. It is being financed by Donald Mackay of Sydney, New South Wales. The expedition will carry on research in geography, geology and anthropology and will look for precious metals in which that part of Australia is reputed to be enormously wealthy. The leader of the expedition is Herbert Basedow, protector of the aborigines and the author of a book recently published on the Australian aboriginal a subject on which he is a great authority. It was mainly due to the efforts of Mr. Basedow that the government a few years ago set aside a hugs tract of land in the Northern Territory and western Australia as a reserve exclusively for the occupation of the aborigines. The expedition will carry a cinematograph and phonographs, in order to record the native dances and corroboroes and their songs. As the natives of the parts of Australia to which the expedition is going are almost unknown, these records will be of great value to science.

Marcus Garvey, founder and leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, persecution of whom culminated in his imprisonment at Atlanta on a conviction of "using the United States mails to defraud." September 4, 1826. To the Editor of the Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill.: up the publication of the adverse side of this controversy. Fifth—George A. Weston, the vice-president of the New York local has In your edition of the Chicago Defender, under caption "Garvey's Former Followers Brand Him as Worst Enemy of His Race," of September 6 you had in glaring headlines the following: Garvey's Former Following Brand Him as "Worst Enemy of His Race." This being an absolute injustice to the millions of Negroes following Marcus Garvey and the movement of which he is still a leader throughout the United States, Cubs, British West Indies, Costa Rica, and many other places where Negroes are, we, the authorized officers, functioning as the Executive Council of this organization, in justice to those so grossly misrepresented, if you are not too blamed, prejudiced and unfair in your attitude to this movement to give the same space to a rebuttal of this malicious article, request that you publish the following article in refutation of the malicious propaganda broadcasted through the article referred to in your paper of date named. Yours truly, Universal Negro Improvement Association First—That Marcus Carvey has been deposed by the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an absolute falsehood, told by malacostenta, ex-offices, and secretly stolens of no value to any community.

Third—This rump convention, called by this group of self-styled delegates, was composed of residents of New York, representing themselves from various points and quarters, without a single bona-fide division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, being represented in this gathering. Fourth—This organization is completely intact throughout the whole of the places afroened, and they hall and recognize no other than Marcus Garvey.

Weston. the vice-president of the New York local, has been for some time aspiring to all Marcus Garvey's shoes, and has taken advantage of this opportunity, in conjunction with these ex-officers, to stab him in the back while in prison, and thus show his despicable cowardice and undesirability to be a leader of anybody of anything. Only an inagrate would be guilty of such, a man unknown until Marcus Garvey picked him up. Sixth-As to the high salaries and money's squandered as charged by these people through your papers, we have to say that they were members of the convention who voted these salaries, and a part of them who are the synephants were the recipients of said salaries.

He did not give you the West Indies; he did not give you America. The white man brought you to these parts. You have served your purpose, in his estimation. And if you will be wise you will seek again your own vine and fig-tree. And these words come to me: "All around the world The Negro World is sold; All around the world Garvey's message must be told: All around the world The Negro is getting bold; The Red, the Black and Green is wav- ing All around the world. Keep waving, keep waving. Africa's flag unfurl; The Red, the Black and Green is wav- ing All around the world." (Applause). HON. LEVI LORD'S ADDRESS The Hon. Levi Lord, Chancellor, next addressed the meeting. He said: 'I am glad to see the enthusiasm which provails, it remains for us to turn our inspiration into realisation. And to take a cue from what the assistant international organiser said, how can an insignificant body of small-minded Negroes confound this great association? How can they stop the onward rush of Garveyism? Garvey's name has circled the globe and The Negro World is taking the message everywhere. These Negroes in New York have engaged themselves in an effort to be match the good name of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. They have given opt a statement that Garvey has misappropriated the funds of the association. Now, any man with a grain of intelligence, knowing how Garvey struggled to bring this association to what it is will know that accusation for the vicious lie it is. They have also endeavored to spread the propaganda that Negroes have renounced Garvey as their leader. The statement is too ridiculous for comment. No man person, no person able to see or read could for a moment believe such rubbish." The speaker then made an appeal for funds, which was liberally responded to. MON. FRED A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS The Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, was the next speaker. He said: "After a few weeks out on the field for the organization one great thing I noticed, and that is that the program of our great organization as sponsored by Marcus Garvey has taken hold of all Negroes, those outside of the organization and those inside the organization. Let each one of us get fresh inspiration; let us realise the magnitude of our responsibilities to this great cause. "At the present moment, fellow men and women, the nations of the world are wondering what shall be the next move of Marcus Garvey. France is busy trying to parcel out a part of Africa; England is busy likewise; Italy is busy doing the same thing. All the nations of the world are busy trying to steal from the black man his heritage on this earth. They have practically taken away Liberia; they have taken away Haiti; San Domingo is gone; and now they are about to take away Abyssinia. And we are standing by, not realizing what is going on. Danger for the Negro "Fellow men and women, there is danger today surrounding the Negro peoples of the world. It is almost slavery that faces us. And you are wondering why Marcus G. Barvey is in jail. There is nothing to wonder about. Marcus Garvey's efforts to stay the hand of exploitation has been the cause of Marcus Garvey's imprisonment. They might imprison the man Garvey, but the spirit that Garvey has embedded in the souls of black men and black women shall not down until it reaches the culmination in a free and redeemed Africa. "These few Negroes in New York City who tell us they will obliterate the name of Marcus Garvey from the Universal Negro Improvement Anse- TO ALL DEVIOS AND CHAPTERS.

You might close every Liberty Hall in the world, but you cannot efface the spirit of One God, One Aim, and One Destiny. You might try to take the name of the organization, as these paltry Negroes are now striving to do, but take the name, close up every Liberty Hall, spread all the lying propaganda you want, and the minute Marcus Garvey comes out of Atlanta there will be a mightier organization, and the rats will be forced to run to cover. (Applause). Mountebanks Cannot Disscourage Mountebanks Garnet Discourage "My friends, we are not discouraged by the activities of the mountebanks. We will carry on. The sun is shining, and it will shine with greater splendor when our great chieftain comes back to us. And these vaga-bods, when he comes, will know he is here, and they shall disappear. I am not discouraged, fellow men, and there is no Negro baptised in the baptism who can he discouraged. I mean baptised—not sprinkled. Be thoroughly washed with this doctrine and no power on earth can turn you away from this cause for which Marcus Garvey is suffering in Atlanta penitentiary. "Today the world is wondering whether you and I will stand loyal to Marcus Carvey. I want to tell the white world and the black world that there are millions who are prepared to follow Carvey to the grave if necessary. And we are going to follow where he leads, caring not what any white newspaper says. Negro papers may talk until the day of judgment; white papers may publish anything they like about Marcus Carvey; let judges render any decisions they desire; let governments ruminate on what they will do to Marcus Carvey, but the Negroes of the world will stand firm and shake the illars.

There has been an attempt made by vigilante to drag a good man's name in the dust, but, my friends, you can's tarnish a piece of marble with mud. All you need is a bit of water and the marble is clean again. Carver is the marble and these believers who would tarnish his good name are the mud. They were hungry and Marcus Garvey gave them bread, and they are now seeking to ride into ease upon the sufferings of Marcus Garvey. "Proud to Be Categoar" "Therefore, let us, my friends, stand firm and true. The world is watching us. The opportunity has been given to us to make history for the Negro. Let us see to it that the sufferings of Marcus Garvey shall not be in vain. For I believe this race would be cursed if at this time black men and women turned traitor to Garvey. My friends. God is with us. The Case of Solomon Porter Hood "Do you remember the words of Marcus Garvey in reference to this Solomon Porter Hood, who was American Consul in Liberia? You remember Garvey said the time will come when the race will know him for what he is. He was the man who engineered the scheme to keep the Universal Negro Improvement Association out of Liberia. He did his job, and now the very white man has kicked him out of Liberia, taken away his job and given it to a white man at increased pay. Well might he say with Walpole: If I had served my race with half the seal I served the white man they would not have forgotten me now. My friends, any time a Negro is such a fool as to sell out his race the white man knows he is no good and ceases to repose any confidence in him. Right Will Triumph "My friends, right will triumph. Of this you may be sure. This organisation is founded upon rightnessomen, and the gates of hell shall not prevail again, it. So pay no attention to the pun' band of anti-Garveyites, as they call themselves. They will meet the fate to the traitor. History will look upon them as Alciblades was looked upon in Greek history. Our children will teach their children what these men did at a critical period in the life of the Negro race.

This company is now making a world tour under the pen name direction of the famous Broadway producer, Mr. R. C. Whitney. BEAUTIFUL Josephine Baker Tells how You can make YOUR Hair Straight, Soft and Beautiful, too Miss Josephine Baker says: "I was so delighted with the way the improved Pinko Hair Dressing smoothed out and straightened my hair, and made it easy to dress any way I wished, that I kept right on using it. In just a little while my hair began to grow. Now I have an abundance of straight, glossy hair, and it is all due to the use of the Improved Pinko Hair Dressing." The experience of Miss Baker and thousands of other men and women of our group proves that YOU can make your hair just as long, straight and glossy as you wish. If you will follow their example and use the Improved Phlox Hair Dressing. This delicately fragranced, soft, fine textured preparation melts at the temperature of the scalp, and goes deep into the pars, nourishing and invigorating the hair roots and making the hair straight, smooth, glossy and easy to dress any way you wish.

The people themselves have changed in their sentiments and outlook. This change is called a revolution, and one that will one day outbursts the rule of the masses and destroy the privilege of the classes. As far as this revolution extends its scope to the various races, it is for me to say that the Negro cannot afford to be silent near stationary; he must also revolt from the slavish and subservient ideas of the past. The bloodless revolution of white society has taught the weak peoples of the world how to organize and how to act. There is no revolution as successful as that of the triumph of free thought over slavish ideas. The Negro has been a slave to the white man's idea for three hundred years, and the hour has now struck for him to imitate the masses of white society and cut away from royalty and privilege." If your ideas are slavish your ideals will be slavish. Ideas and ideals are mostly a matter of education. The Negro who has been educated in the school of slavery will have the slavish attitude towards the slave master and think lightly of himself and his values and exalt those of his master. So, those Negroes who have been educated in white schools and in Negro schools controlled by white persons, will have the education of self-effacement or disparagement of himself and his race. That is what such education is intended to accomplish. We have much of it in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa, but everywhere the Negro is beginning to think in terms of himself and of his race,—to have his own ideas and to develop his own ideals,—and President-General Marcus Garvey has done more than any other man to bring the Negro to that attitude of thought.

GROUP MORE EFFECTIVE THAN INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY 28, by Mr. Louis S. Rawlings, headed, "Evolution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," was read with general interest and profit. Mr. Rawlings is an expert accountant connected with the business department of The Negro World staff. It is evident by his article that he is a diligent student. He is young and ambitious, and the future beckons him because of this fact, for the rewards go to those who make the most of their youth and the years that follow by hard study and steady work toward greatest preparedness in the occupation he cares most for and engages in. And no success out of the ordinary is possible without hard study for preparedness and hard work for accomplishment of the thing in hand. THE FLAG AND OTHER THINGS FOLLOW THE MISSIONARIES THERE is a common saying among teachers of political economy that trade follows the flag. So it does, but trade and the flag follow the missionaries. In most instances where races have been conquered, or wiped out, or enslaved, especially in the white men's dealing with the African people, the missionary has paved the way for the trader and the trader has paved the way for the flag. The three have been worked together to enslave and rob the natives. They do not call it slavery, but it amounts to that when the natives are robbed of their freedom and compelled to work for wages and under laws that effectively rob them of any voice whatever in their government or their work and wages. It is regrettable that such has been the case. The readers of The Negro World have learned through the Universal Negro Improvement Association that group effort is more effective than individual effort, that more can be accomplished by many working together for a given purpose than one. On this point Mr. Rawlins says: "Group activities enable man to achieve many things which at times would be difficult if not impossible to achieve if begun individually. This accounts for the numerous societies and associations which today we find. A modern writer on American social problems tells us that "the ideal of a society in the twentieth century is that of social betterment, and he is greatest among his fellows who best serves their trust interests." Just now a determined effort is being made by the traders who have developed big business in the Philippine Islands to make of more effect the promises made by the American people to give the people their freedom and self-government, by dividing the country, rejuvenating the land laws, and allowing for the development of the rubber and sugar industries by Aryanican capitalists. Carmi Thompson, of Ohio, a special representative of President Coolidge sent to investigate conditions, has done all that he could to further the idea of binding American rule permanently on the islands and turning over its splendid resources for development and exploitation by American interests. We went into the Spanish-American War to free Cuba, but Cuba is far from free. American capitalists have got control of the vast tobacco and sugar interests of the islands, and the Cuban government cannot do certain things without the consent of the Government of the United States. We got control of Porto Rico and the Philippines as the outcome of the same war, but we have no more given them than we have Cuba their freedom, and the business interests which have got control of the resources of those islands will see to it that they do not get their freedom. Of course, Mr. Rawlings concludes that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest group organization of the Negro race. We are all conscious and proud of the fact and we are hustling to make it even greater than it is. BENEFITS OF THE FREE LIBRARY SYSTEM NEW YORK CITY has many free schools and libraries which are accessible to those who would take advantage of them both night and day. Indeed, the night schools of the city have a wonderful attendance and are of incalculable benefit to thousands who are unable to attend the day schools. The late Andrew Carnegie spent a vast fortune in establishing libraries in all sorts of communities, and none should be found to say that he did not do wisely, for he helped to popularize the free library system and encouraged the more general reading and study of special subjects, and thus increased by large the average intelligence. So with Haiti and the Virgin Islands. We secured the one by armed force and the other by purchase, but we denied freedom to the people of both sets of islands and have so manipulated their affairs that the American trader has got a death grip which the flag has so far backed up at every point and in every crisis, insofar that the independence of Haiti seems as dead as that of Liberia in the grip of the Firestone Rubber Company and the self-government of the Virgin Islanders, which we promised them when they transferred their allegiance from the Danish government to ours, appears to be entirely out of the question, in spite of the splendid work of Mr. Casper Holstein and his Virgin Islands Congressional Council, with headquarters in New York. We have a branch library in Harlem, on 135th street, near Lenox avenue, and it is managed on broad and liberal lines by Miss Ernestine Rose, the librarian, but the library is not appreciated and used as generally as it should be. The Cooper Union library was established in 1859. A recent statement shows that an average of 500 persons daily, or a yearly attendance of 440,000 persons a year, avail themselves of the advantages of the library. This is a wonderful showing. It shows for this one library alone that the advantages of the free library system are greatly appreciated. There are many libraries in New York City, and New York is the greatest publication center in the country, so that it is easy to conclude that the people of New York City are among the most generally read and intelligent, and that is true. And it is said that the Negroes of New York City read more books, magazines and newspapers than any like group of them anywhere, and this is doubtless true. The Christian nations, in their dealings with weaker peoples and nations not of their race, color and religion, have fallen far short of the High calling which is in Christ Jesus, according to their acceptance of the written word. They think they can escape payment for the wrongdoing, but the World War and its fabulous toll of man and money values and the debts piled mountain high which are saggering them, is one of the signs of the times that Christian statesmen do not see clearly, but through a glass darkly. The Negro World wishes that a larger number of Negroes would patronize the branch library in Harlem and attend its many free lectures and other educative activities than have been doing so. The advantages which the library offers free should be availed of to the limit. Those who do so are benefitted beyond estimation. If you have not been patronizing the library and attending its lecture courses, begin to do so now and you will not regret it. AVISH IDEAS SHACKLE THE NEGRO PEOPLE HOW shall the people know if they have no teacher? asks Paul of Benjamin, than whom no greater teacher has arisen among men. In his extraordinary message, published in the last issue of The Negro World, President-General Marcus Garvey never taught the people more eloquently and impressively concerning those things that make for racial life. The message is a clarion call to thoughtful Negroes everywhere to rally to the support of the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to labor to save to the Negro race its values for its own enrichment and protection against wrong and outrage. It is the teachment of self-help, the best of all help, which will save the Negro race for itself and its destiny. President-General Garvey understands this fact and does not help by self-education and emphasis to impress it upon the attention of the race. But, if the people have a teacher and refuse to listen to what then? Why, like those without vision, they perish. In most analysis, every race, every man, is the architect of his own destiny. When his fortunes are the same as those of millions of people and they understand this and unite for the purpose of the common advantage, the victory is their own will. The Negro peoples of the world are beginning to understand that and therein is great hope that "all may be "Roll Jordan, Roll!" By ARTHUR & GRAY Of Oakland, Cal. The immutable plastic matricies that email the program of African Redemption promoted by the Universal Mission Improvement Association as imprisonments, deserve our pity rather than our sympathy. The self-name arguments are put forth by those persons who believe that rent-paying is more advantageous than home-buying. Rent receipts are only records of money paid out; while similar installments credited to your purchase account, represent your equity or ownership in the property involved. Tazation without representation has the same relation to the people of a nation as rental receipts to a permanent tenant. The contention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that where Negroes form a majority, they should dictate the policy of government and all national affairs. From this basis, we believe that after all we have contributed to America's success and glory, she is yet unconcerned in the political condition of our people. Then we are unquestionably justified in making the supreme effort to do for ourselves what others have done to win freedom and recognition. We offer absolutely no apologies or reservations for this declaration; neither do we believe that such a stand denotes disloyalty or treason. Our race must be moved, and "pussy-footing" tactics have never extricated any people in a similar predicament. The Universal Negro Improvement Association represents the most advanced thought in Negro affairs today, with the Hon. Marvell Carvey as the creator and promoter of that thought, and we must develop and expand this thought born in the mind of another. Other organizations all over America are beating around the bush for something that never existed; only to deceive and mislead millions of American born Negroes. More is the pity: Who is so blind as he that can see, but refuses to look? Who so deaf as he that can hear, but refuser to listen? Africa is our moral legal and legitimate home. The awakened Negro is tired "cunning out." Amer- African shall be of the black peo- cept and example that she is to remain a government "of the (white) people, for the (white) people, and by the (white) people." All thoroughbred Garvoyez reply: African shall be of the black people, for the black people, and by the black people! Seah. A striking feature of the convention of the National Negro Press Association, recently held in Philadelphia, was noted in the Philadelphia Tribune, as follows: "The greatest ripple was caused by the unexpected appearance of T. Thomas Fortune, "Dean of Negro Journalism," active editor of The Negro World, at the Thursday morning session. Mr. Fortuno had been expected to attend the sessions, but it was thought because of a protracted illness that he would not be able to reach the convention until some of the later sessions. He was greeted and applauded by the convention in a body as "the ablest and most forceful editorial writer the race has ever produced." In a few remarks Mr. Fortune gave a brief review of Negro journalism from 1879 to the present. The Beloved dean encouraged the members of the association to maintain the high standards they have set and predicted a bright future for Negro newspapers. As editor of the New York Globe, the Freeman and The Age, Mr. Fortune was one of the pioneers of Negro journalism. He helped blaze the way for the Negro press of today. Elks Pledge Support CLEVELAND. — Outstanding among the constructive policies of the I. B. P. O. E. W., adopted at the most successful Grand Lodge session in the history of Eikdom, which adjourned in this city at the close of last week, was the pledge made by the Elke to the cause of Negro education. The grand treasurer reported a fund of $16,499.50, already on hand, which is the nucleus of a special education fund to be distributed as scholarships to worthy boys and Girls of the Negro race. This fund is to be gradually enlarged so as to provide a permanent surplus for the mans and daughters of Elke who qualify for the scholarship. The Director of Education will supervise the distribution of the scholarship funds as well as the eligibility of candidates. C. P. B. Critical study, strategy of persuasion, agitation, organization and organization provide all substantial programs whether individual or community, and where these elements are all absent there is no general program.—Threeport Sun. Consistent regard for anything brings its just reward. Trying hard enough and often enough to close will eventually bring about the desired end, as it does in all cases. A business is presently opened to make money. Of course, if it is opened just to close, that too, may be accomplished. Such business men usually close for good, sooner or later. Man gets what he strives for.—Washington Tribute. If we only know how clearly we are seen through and how easily our motives are analysed and understood, we would be greatly humbled.—Star of Zion. Mon are their own chief handicaps, not weather. A busy man has no thought of how bet or how cold it is. In fact, in these days of keen competition, the smart man runs by the crowd which stops to complain.—Kansas City Call. Needful measures that cannot obtain legislative sanction because the Negro is involved, and they are many, are no less needful because they involve the Negro, and the effect of their failure is no less deterrent to the nation's progress when they meet this imaginary obstruction. It is the national nonsense of running the machine with the brakes applied trying to make progress and avoid friction, stopping on the gas with one foot, holding the brakes with the other and stirring wig wag to dodge purposely placed obstructions.—Birmingham Reporter. There are many things being left undone by us as a group that should RACE PROBLEM IN AFRICA W. G. Landes Describes Conditions at Kivanna Club Lunebrook Speaking at a luncheon of the Kiwanis Club of New York recently at the Hotel McAlpin, W. G. Landen, general secretary of the World Sunday School Alliance, who has recently returned from Africa, told of his observations of the race problem there. "In the opinion of the whiten," he said, "misionaries are making a mistake in trying to educate the Negro and bring him closer to the white man's level. The Negro is inferior in every way to the white man, and the further he is removed the better he will be. Of the blacks in Africa, nearly 60% are misionaries and some people believe that intermarginality will in some way produce a race that is neither white nor black. I don't think this will ever come to pass. Segregation is another plan offered. "The only sound solution is in co-operation, a working agreement between the two races which will be beneficial to both." Rival Towns Agree To Share Their Saint Catalina, Sicily, Aug. 30.—An 800-year-old feud between the townships of Aderno and Alcara over the possession of the remains of St. Nicholas Politi has been settled. The saint's skull has been awarded to Aderno and the remainder of the skeleton to Alcara. The allotment was devised by secular, judicial and political authorities and accepted by the populations of the rival townships after the mediators had considered the problem for months. Aderno claimed the saint's remains because he had been one of its citizens: Alcara because he died within its limits. The feud has led to fatal clashes through many centuries. Sunday the skull was taken to Aderno, where it was received in triumph. Newton All Wrong On Equilibrium San Francisco, Aug. 20.—Astronomical revelations disclosing what is claimed to be a new law of nature finding Newton's equilibrium theory in error have been made by Capt. T. J. J. Bee, government astronomer at Maro Island. Capt. Bee's calculations, which have been accepted by leading scientists, prove that tides originating in the Pacific Ocean cause the globe to wobble on its axis and his theory fines the rigidity of the earth as three times that of standard steel. The discoveries followed a series of murids and highly exact calculations of total heights and were a consequence of the efforts of Capt. Bee to determine the cause of a variation of the earth's latitude, caused by the rotation of the north and south poles. LONDON.—An extensive social survey is about to be undertaken in London for the discovery of which there are many to be discovered. A British biologist will do the main research work on an important problem. They will draw about 5000 cases in the county and examine the causes of many of the diseases. The purpose of work is to be conducted in the air and on the ground and is said to influence the progress of science. durable our obligations to two larger groups to the first floor.

Citizenship rights, privileges and obligations should be subjects for matters and discussions in the church just as much as the trip that Christ made to the temple. Co-operation in temporal matters is more essential at this time than union in prayer. While both are evidences of organization temporal success will doubtless induce prayer with loss skepticism if not unbounded faith.—The Negro Star. Perhaps no subject now under discussion deserves more earnest and thoughtful consideration than the efforts to reform the curriculum of our educational institution and school systems so as to better adapt them to the needs of present-day students. The present courses of study contain much that is impractical, and in the practical things they are totally inadequate. —Tampa Bulletin. It is race prejudice that supports "nullification," that denies the black man an equal opportunity for livelihood and that denies him justice in the courts. Race prejudice operates from the inside; it must be attacked from the inside.—Atlanta Independent. The white man does very little differing when any sort of question arises which has to do with the ordinary affair which would in anywise oblate the Negro at the expense of the white man—Newport News Star. WILL EXPLORE ABYSSIRIA CHICAGO, Sept. 1—An expedition under the auspices of the Field Museum of Natural History and the Chicago Daily News will have here Sunday to speed six months in exploring Akrynstein. Dr. Wilfred Onges, curator of the Department of History of the museum, will head the expedition. His associates will be Jack Kushner, special writer for the Daily News; Louis Agnès Poortes of Cornell University, painter of birds; Syedam Cutting, court tennis champion, who will be remembered in the recent taken along, and the Daily News hopes to print the first news sent from Abysa. A short wave radio outfit will be sinia by wireless. The expedition will sail from New York September 7. BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD FOR ROGER WILLIAMS UNIV Wednesday, September 29. Roger Williams University begins its sixteenth year of widely recognised service to humanity. These years have been distinguished by a series of memorable achievements in Christian character development and scholastic attainment. Under the present efficient and progressive administration, headed by Lee Henry Harlan, president, and a group of forward looking trustees, Roger Williams is rising to new pinnacles of fame. The faculty is now composed of graduates from the leading universities in the United States, such as Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa, Lincoln, Ohio, Harvard, Fisk and Chicago. The science laboratories have been improved by the installation of an up-to-date cafeteria, the decorating of the buildings, overhauling the heating and lighting systems, and providing hot water in all dormitories. With these pleasant changes has come also an awakening on the part of the Baptist of Tennessee, to whom the school belongs. Financial support has been pledged liberally and already returns are being received. The student outlook is the brightest in years, indications being that the student body will number closely between three and four hundred members in all departments. This the sixth anniversary, to be formally celebrated October 14, both felt to mark a new era in Regency toward march toward the goal of world service set by its vulnerable students.

Present and past conditions warrant my affiliation with the aforementioned organization which stands for educational, industrial, commercial, political, cultural, economical and national advancement of our race. I had a conception of the quickest persons in our race; which if awakened, would rate us as successful competitors in present day materialism, and I was confident that Govney's doctrine was the only one which could effectively bring about this rude awakening.

Why the Universal Negro First Prize, LIBERTY UNIVERSITY For Particulars Re Curriculum, etc., Apply to Surrey County, Virginia, U. S. A. --- The rise of Garveyism and the phenomenal growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has held the attention of the civilized world for more than seven years. The attitude of hundreds of thousands of Negroes, scattered throughout the world, toward the Association and its great leader and founder, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, is an unsolved puzzle to millions. They wonder why dissensions, disappointments and powerful hindering forces have failed to stop the onward march of this great organization. They wonder at the strength of this remarkable leader—and how he continues to hold the undivided attention and unswerving loyalty of his followers from his prison cell. Followers of Marcus Garvey are now speaking for themselves. They are telling the world why they reverse and follow Marcus Garvey—why the Universal Negro Improvement Association will continue to march on and progress regardless of ridicule, criticism, or opposition. Members have not been slow to take advantage of this opportunity. The response has been as the editors know it would be. Although the contest has just opened, letters are coming in every mail. Members who take part in this contest are rendering the association incalculable aid. Nothing can help the work more than to tell those on the outside why you are on the inside. A few letters will be run each week in The Negro World. If you send in your letter early, it may be published. All cannot be published. Yours may be among the few. J. T. Parker, Farrell, Pa.

ARMY SALVAGES MILLION WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The army sold enough rags, old rubber, the same bottles and other hitherto "water" materials during the fiscal year 1926 to turn into the Treasury $1,000,610. Some mathematically inclined officer has figured out that this salvage revenue would pay for 2,512 horses and mules, for all the hats and shoes worn by the army in a year, combined salaries of the Commander-in-Chief, the Secretary of War, and all the generals and colonels for a year, and for some other things besides. arve WEAKNESS NERVOUSNESS BEBILITY BLOOD TROUBLES MALARIA Are you always "TIRED" and "KNE your COURAGE.

INSANITY ON INCREASE WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The fact that 42,554 feeble-minded, or 22.9 to each 100,000 of population, were in institutions in 1833, as compared to 20,721, or 22.5 per cent, in 1810, probably is due to increased use of institutional facilities, according to the Department of Commerce, which made public the statistics today. The only other survey was in 1804, when the number of patients in institutions was 14,347, or 17.5 per 100,000 population. In addition to the 42,554 feeble-minded, there were also 4,700 feeble-minded, there were also 4,700 feeble-minded for epilepsy. Of the 42,554 initial, 38,200 were native white, and of these 38,061 were of native parentage. The department attributed the low ratio among foreign born to strict supervision of immigration. PARIS, Sept. 2.—The French police, always famed for the perfection of their organization, are now using the radio to transmit pictures of sugar prints of "wanted" perpons and criminals, as well as their general descrip- eyite!" Why! Dear Editor: Why I am a Garveyite. This question is rather simple in form but deep in meaning. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism doesn't believe in or teach superiority, or inferiority, of races, all the creation of God. But there is such a thing as one race being progressive while another is non-progressive. Therefore, I am dissatisfied because of the condition of my race. How can such a condition be remedied? Garveyism is the answer. The practice of Garveyism is a means to an end—the freedom of a race and the redemption of Africa. It promises also all of these necessary things of life whereby our boys and girls will find an outlet for their ideas and thoughts and turn them into action. I am ignored. Everybody outside of my race forgets that I am a part of creation and nobody wants to be a part of me because I have no government. In life, or death, my all for Carvanyism; so that generations to come will see my great-grandchildren so important and so successful in shaping the destiny of Africa that those who would despair or deside we will want to be identified with us. For these reasons am a Garveyite. R. 1441 Clinton St., Det at Headquarters, N e, $10.00 INDIGESTION RHEUMATISE COLDS TXMAUSTION RUN-DOWN "KNOCKED" out.

Ingram, the president of the Camden, New Jersey, division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, {a the proud Inventor of & puncture-proof tire whicH bids fair to play an cpochal part in motoring by eliminating discomfort and’ inconve- fence to an extent hitherto undreamed of. Many efforta have previously been made by manufacturers to place on the market a puncture-proof automo- bile tire, but without success, Mr. In- gram, however, judging from the suc- cess of the exacting tests to which his tire has been subjected in various cities, has at fast supplied a long-felt want. A demonstration In New York City is planned for the rear future. The following {s a write-up by The Daily News (White) of Egg Harbor, New Jersey, following a recent dem- onatratien there: ‘ “Demonstrate Puncture-Proef Tire “Samuel R. Ingram, president of the Combination Puncture Proot ‘Tire Company, of Camden, gave a very interesting demonstration of his petemted puncture-proof au- tomobile tire at the local ball park on Friday afternoon, last, before a jarge crowd of autoists, who had followed an impromptu parade staged by the patentee to the ball park. Mr. Ingram subjected the Ure to the se- verest teats, even going so far as to endeavor to drive a spike Into the tire, which resisted avery effort to puncture it. According to Mr. Ingram, he has been offered a fancy vam by one of the leading tire concerns of the country for hia patent, which consists of small Dress pleces so linked together as to make the tire very flexible, This brass lining is interwoven tate = rubber casing. The tire, the cost ef which will not be mere then theee seld today. will be put on the market shert'y. It may be pes- stele that a factory may be ereuted tn thie city for the manufesture of these tires, socoriing te the stpte- mont mode by Mr. Ingram after the demonstration.” HOW'S YOUR an re s ‘eae ex, > =* Sele oe Tze awe Sy dae Re ie ig = ve re fa joy * Pere A SS m \} fy ne a or @ | , ao: in N [ z eal ce % Nelleae Asma Asean, Zatbesed, Flo 5 |Many Pretty Girls a | Owe Their Beauty To See a @ es Nelson’s Hair Dressing FROM of pore of the cousery we-menive a : nee ee Sune {Stee Ss Ff Eons I tte ee _ 3 : 5s a is “oo. eet — a iad al | a en a e mF R ee eee a ft — : ae, i x ; Pa r 2% ~~ HARR Dee ae a pe me : ae ea A ~% ¢ : ot , pi ae ¥ Mrs. L.

Disease Cause Tragic Faces Misconceptions That which is compresensall ligent adult: "That insanity con- "That once insanity "That insanity is "That insanity is visitation to be regar- tion and fatalem. THIS is an adult activity—a foreign activity on the part of the white race to build the darker peoples of the world in subjersion, so that they may monopolize this world's goods, and a labored activity by the oppressed to free themselves from servitude and enjoy some of the blessings of creation. It is a grim struggle that is taking place daily and is evidenced in every walk of life, when the two opposite races come in contact with each other. In order to retain its leadership, the white race pallages the countries of other peoples, and subjects the latter to the most inhuman treatment, thereby existing off the loot and free-booty. Honesty and brotherly love are not practiced by this "superior race" who have long since forgotten how to speak the truth, or to play fair with the "poor benighted heathens," to whom they would gladly give all of Jesus, while they grab the world and all therein. But the colored races are beginning to realize that man cannot live off religion; that man stalks the earth looking for wealth and territories to provide a continuous supply of food; and that man experiments in his laboratories and manufactures all sorts of man-killing machines in order to protect that which he acquires; therein is man superior, according to present day standards, when he is able to get that which he covets, and to hold its against all others. He who would survive in this materialistic struggle must learn the art of taking and keeping. Years ago many people thought that if they lived in remote countries, and were not aggressors, they would be immune from invasion; but that's a foolish thought today, when ships and aeroplanes have conquered distance, the earth has become man's foot-steel. Abyasinia remained in exclusion for centuries, having no ambassadors or representatives in foreign countries, being completely shut off from modern progress, Italy tried to scale her mountains, twenty-five years ago, and was defeated; but with the connivance of England she is making another try without firing a shot. The world of anxious, but unprepared, black men are looking on to see whether the Switzerland of Africa will be divided up between England and Italy, or whether the international freebooters will squabble among themselves and save Abyasinia. Irak with her oil gushers, the Philippines with rubber trees, Liberia with rubber and gold, South Africa with diamonds, are places that white men will fight to get, and hold, because they abound with products and minerals that they want. Prayerful petitions and tearful appeals are a waste of time and energy; when you make your demands in the white man's language—FORCE—he will readily yield or feel your heavy hand; but appeal to his concience and he will think you too stupid to live, since you cannot interpret the spirit of the age, and will feel justified in exterminating you, so as to make room for people who are better able to appreciate and participate in modern progress, caring not how unethical it is. Africa, the treasure-house of the world, has been partitioned by every white nation. Not for the fun of taking the black man's country did they do it, but because that vast continent has on its surface and in its bowels every conceivable product that man could use for his comfort and happiness. The Africans at home had no means of preserving the country, while the Africans abroad being steeped with white propaganda, pitifully babbled "We haven't lost anything in Africa." The result has been a general European scramble to take what the foolish Negro did not even know he had lost. Through nine years of hard labor and terrible sacrifices, Marcus Garvey has awakened in millions of Negroes an appreciation of material values, to the extent that the redemption of Africa from white exploitation is their sworn duty. When all Negroes place the right value on Africa, then its redemption will be accomplished hastily, and the race lifted up to a place of respect and honor among others. WHAT IS INSANITY? Ignorance of This Disease Cause of Neglect and Tragic Consequences The elementary facts concerning what is vaguely termed "insanity" are set forth in a recent bulletin of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. On no subject, says an editorial review in the New York Sun, is there greater or more widespread confusion; misconceptions and misunderstandings with regard to few other subjects lead to consequences more tragic. The writer of the editorial goes on: "Popular ignorance in this case breeds popular neglect or encroachment of divergences from accepted standards of mental normality, and this neglect or encroachment may postpone until too late into the informed treatment of originally easily remediable conditions that, uncorrected, develop into or induce chronic adiments beyond the present power of science to correct. $500 Reward If I Need ard If I Fail to Grow Hair Root Hair $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower Since varnish making is really a coining process, declares Mrs. A. B. De Forest of Brooklyn, the varnish factory that she owns and runs there is decidedly a woman's work. She can go into her kettle room and cook up a batch of varnish with the best of cooks, though it is, she admits, a pretty strenuous job. The raw materials have to be boiled and watched, then taken off the fire and cooled, thinned and tested. After that is all done it is put into storage tanks to age. Mrs. De Forest is proud of the fact that there isn't a tank connected with the running of her factory that she isn't familiar with at first hand. She keeps strict office house, from 9 to 5 daily. She has often gone on the road herself and done her own selling. Ever since she first took over the factory she has been gathering practical information about her product. There isn't, she says, a book which contains all the facts that she has picked up in her own way from thealeenmen who sell her their raw materials. These men always have fresh products and the most up to date information about them. If they sound good Mrs. De Forrest asks for samples with full directions about using them. Then the samples are tested in the laboratory, and a few more bits of valuable information are added to Mrs. De Forrest's private varnish encyclopedia. Began as Owner How did she happen to get into the business? Not an a clerk, nor as a stonegrapher. She began as the owner. Sounds like a big venture? Yes. Mrs. De Forecast admits, thinking back, it was. Her father was in the naval stores business, and although she had had no special training in that line herself, when she suddenly found it necessary to support her mother and young sisters she decided to follow somewhat in his steps. At that time she was Miss Sara Barley of Brooklyn, recent graduate of a Southern college but without any business training in any line. She did not inherit the naval stores business from her father, but with a small legacy and a few borrowed hundreds of dollars she borrowed to buy the plant. She was only a young girl and her staff consisted of one sailman and three workmen. But her business prospered from the beginning, and in the first year she was able to pay for it. Makes Her Own Experiments The plant included a varnish factory, and Mrs. De Foreest, interested since high school and college in scientific matters, soon found herself poking around the little varnish factory, doing experiments and recording results. Naval stores business, she explains, really means a pine tree products business, for naval stores buy and sell the substances produced from the gum of the pine tree - turpentine, resins, pitch, etc. Turpentine and resin are both used in making varnish, so the little varnish factory was a natural side line of the naval stores. But it didn't remain a side line for Mrs. De Foreest. She soon decided to concentrate on the varnish making. Her customers she reaches largely through salesmen and direct mail advertising. National advertising, she says, is not for her.

BURROW. Amt. Secretary-General Universal Negro Improvement Association. MAHOGANY IS QUEEN OF WOODS Played Important Part in English Colonization The question "What is mahogany?" has recently been raised again. There are more than sixty answers to that question. More than sixty species of timber have at one time or another been put on the market under the name of mahogany. Mahogany's position rests in part on the characteristic entwining light and dark ribbons which play like the tones in watered silk. The United States imports mahogany from the West Indies, Central America, South America, Africa France, England and Holland. But of course the imports from France, England and Holland are reshuffles of mahogany received from their respective colonies. What is known as true mahogany comes exclusively from the Caribbean countries. The mahogany limit touches the tip of Florida, bites all of Cuba and most of the West Indies, spreads along the tropical coast of Mexico and extends over most of the area of the Central American republics through Panama and bites deeply into the northern coast of South America. British West African mahogany figures more largely in American imports than legs from any country except Nicaragua. It is an allied species. Queen of Tropical Forest Britain has a foothold in British Honduras largely because of mahogany and leg wood. The colony of wood choppers which was established there needed protection of the crown. In response to their needs the empire added another bit of red to the map. But England probably deserves some mahogany acreage because of Sir Walter Raleigh. He introduced not only tobacco but also mahogany to Europe. Mahany comes by its quenely rank and cubinet woods naturally. It is queen of the tropical forest. A mature tree usually rises 100 feet to look down on the lesser tangled timber. It rules unchallenged over an acre or more of ground. The roots, resembling Louisiana cypress, spread out before they reach the ground. In the wasteful old days cutters erected a platform ten or twelve feet high to escape chopping through so much wood. Now the roots are prised for their splendid figure. So modern cutting, following logging practice in the United States, keeps close to the ground. Logs are no longer squared; another victory for forest thrift. In many places trains and barges have displaced the ox teams and river floods as a means of transportation to tidewater. Last year the United States imported 72,000,000-000 board feet of mahogany (a board foot is one inch by twelve inches by twelve inches), nearly nine times the imports thirty years ago.—National Geographic Society Bulletin. Women of Argentina Granted Equal Rights BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 2.—The Chamber of Deputies has adopted a law giving women the same civil rights as are enjoyed by the men of Argentina. The bill was approved in part by the Senate at the last session of Parliament, and this body now will have another opportunity to proclaim itself on the question of equality of sex. The Chamber also has passed a bill prohibiting bakers to bake at night. The Maharajah of Alver, Indian prince, kept on his throne by the British to help keep India under the British thumb, has resided a river for miners fishing in Ireland and a forest for deer shooting in Scotland. With money taken from his miserable, half-starved Indian subjects the Maharajah will fish and shoot, and the law will compel the Irish natives to keep away from the fish, and the Scotch will shoot no deer, although they take care of the door forest. That shows what feels men can be. Don't tell your single tax friend about it; he might go cruzv.—Arthur Brisbane. Strictly Business That diplomatic relations between nations help commercial transactions is proven by the jump in trade between Germany and the Soviet Union since last year. This year Russian purchases in the United States are only 67 per cent of what they were last year. This decline is in sharp contrast to the rapid rise in imports from Germany. The capitalists of the Teutonic nation do not like the idea of workers' rule, but they need the business, so they grasp the hated proletariat by the hand and do business with him.—T. J. O'Flaherty. An Ounce of Doing Worth a Pound of Talking Maybe you are heard of the woman who went about over the country delivering her feature, "The Duty of the Wife and Mother," and at the same time her little kiddies were living in a home which, though expensive and modern, was entirely toay-turvy, totally lacking in evidences of the sweet attentions of a woman. There are a lot of things besides charity that begin at home. Our children and friends and loved ones may indulge us in our much talking, but the standard by which they really measure us in this big word with two letters; to all of them we ARE what we DO.—Household Journal. Brown Skin Is Healthiest "Light is also absolutely necessary to the creation of a beautiful skin. Skin that lives in the light is a soft, peach-like color, elastic, not readily bruised and if injured quickly regained. Modern pugilists have discovered the power of the tanned skin to resist bruises. In the famous sight between Dempsey and Carpentier Dempsey victory was partly due to his elastic tanned skin which Carpentier's blow did not harm. Pugilists now give two or three months to training in the open, clothed only in trunks, so that the entire upper torso, with neck and arms and legs, is deeply tanned. In ancient sport the tanning process was also valued, though the Greek athletes seemed to have prised the beautiful bronzing of the athlete's body more as a mark of aristocracy than as the sign of a perfect physical condition."—Dr. G. F. Alsop. Eugenics and Civilization The claim of eugenics to be a scientific theory is quite unfounded. Eugenists have blundered into many fields, and in each field the evidence is against them. Considering this, the statutes passed by twenty-three states providing for sterilization "on eugenic grounds" had better be justified on more adequate grounds or else immediately repealed. Since criminality cannot be inherited the sterilization of criminals to prevent their having children is in itself a barbarous crime. The dangers of it are many. Suppose sterilization were applied to political prisoners! At all events, any drastic interference with the reproductive powers of the race is a serious thing—not to be highly entrusted to superficial and fanatical reformers.—J. B. Eggen.

She and M. Jones were awaiting callers, and M. Jones surveyed her new gown rather critically. "Isn't it a little extreme he suggested. "A little short and hot out?

FLORIDA, CAM., CUBA The ladies of the Florida division had a sacred concert on August 22 instead of a regular mass meeting. Quite a large crowd attended and the program, though lengthy, weared not the audience, but caused thrills of interest and warm enthusiasm. Mr. R. H. Whynn, the chaplain of the division, took the chair. The program was opened with a solo entitled "Welcome," by Miss M. Thomas, then the children of the Liberty Hall school followed with another welcome. In part, they asked the audience to give three cheers for the Honorable Marcus Garvie, and in conclusion quote the words of Shakespeare on gifts. Many songs and solos were rendered by the choir and others, while the children captured the attention and aroused the interest of the audience, whenever they recited. Little Miss Pearl Morrison, aged four years, who took her pitch from the organ, and sang to the great delight of everyone, had to give another number. The principal piece of the evening was the missionaries from India represented by the school. Master Webster Chambers acted as chief of the party; and after addressing the audience on behalf of the party as to their mission, called upon Master Benjamin Thomas of the party to speak. In a short speech he related the story of their coming to the new world to preach Buddhism, the religion of their country, and their conversion into Christianity. He called upon Miss Joliecland Morrison, another of the party, to speak. She asked for the kind patience of the audience and recited the words of one of the Hindoo songs sung by the Sunday School children of India. In reciting she easily befrayed the English tongue, and this met the approval of those listening that they could not hold their applause to the end of her speech, but boast out with loud cheers. Other numbers on the program were a solo by Nurse Costley and an address by Mr. G. Hardlay. The division regrets to announce the death of one of its members in the person of Mr. R. Hemmings. The sad event took place on the early morning of August 20. The burial ceremony was performed by the chaplain on the morning of August 21 and the remains of the deceased were taken to Agramonte cemetery and interred with partial military honors. The officers and auxiliaries, including the legions and the Black Cross Nurses were in the funeral procession. The white costume of the nurse's uniform blended harmoniously with the uniform of the officers and as the procession passed through the town the bystanders could not fall to appreciate the sight. The deceased was a cheerful worker of the division and will be greatly missed. CON ADJ. HOWLITT. Reporter BERKLEY, VA.

Testimonials and declarations of undying devotion to the cause of African Redemption pervaded the atmosphere. The spirit of our immortal leader seemed to hover over each and every assembling. The tenseances of the membership was positively indescribable, their interest unshakable. Monday evening, August 23, at the U. N. I. A. Building, the official discussion was begun. President C. Williams presided, and after appropriate opening remarks, introduced Mr. A. R. Gray for an expression of our policy affecting local problems. The attitude and policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association pertaining to matters of Segregation, Disfranchisement, Amalgamation and Racial Prejudice in our relationship to the opposite race was pointedly outlined by the speaker. Tuesday evening, August 24, was a day never to be forgotten by all so fortunate to gain admittance. Mr. Chan, Baker, local business man, was scheduled to speak on the wonderful contribution made by Hon. Marcus Garvey to civilization. The tremendous power and wisdom of this masterful Negro leader was proclaimed, lauded and applauded. Mr. Wm.

Wednesday evening, August 25, the necessity and value of a higher education was intelligently explained and discussed by Mrs. Ellie King, our exlady vice-president. Mrs. Wooda, lady president, made a great talk on Negro leadership and the necessity for self-confidence and courage to win our struggle. "Like the robin, we must learn to fly and not become discouraged in our initial efforts; thereby becoming the easy prey of the poacher and expelers." Thursday evening, August 26, the discussion of the influence of the U. N. I. A. upon Negro education and Negro business was made by A. S. Gray, as the scheduled speaker, Rev.

Smith, occasional visitor at the U. N. I. A, gave a pointed talk on the Negro's need of nationhood and its only hope for our salvation and relief from present misreatment and suffering. A resolution was read and presented by A. B. Gray, requesting that a distinct political party be created for the conservation and protection of our political strength in all communities where Negroes reside. The name of this party to be known as the Universal African Party, whose slogan shall be "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad," and only candidates who are willing to assist the realization of this objective to receive our support and political endorsement. The resolution was accepted by the convention with instructions to the secretary to forward same to the parent body for their consideration and approval. On Monday evening, August 23, a most unusual address was heard from Mr. Geo Cambridge, a native of West Africa, who dropped in to attend our convention. The talk of this distinguished visitor, though delivered in a broken and dialectical manner, was eagerly listened to by all present. Much inspiration was stimulated as he related the fight being waged and confided by the natives for self-expression and autonomous recognition. The native psychology of black ideals won voiceless applause. The crumbling of the white man's prestige built on religious hypocrisy, was also received with hearty applause. The popularity of the U. N. I. A. and its marvelous leader, Hon. Marquis Garvey, was indeed thrilling and inspiring. Mr. J. Johnson, chairman of the WASHINGTON, D. C. Mon, J. G.

A. from Sunday, August 15, to Tuesday, August 17. The celebration opened with a grand procession of the many members and friends of the organization here around the city leaving Liberty Hall at 4 p. m.

The president and other officers of the division rode in automobiles and buses, a number of which were in attendance. A large number of banners bearing beautiful mottoes were distributed among the lookers. Some of the mottoes were: "Africa for Africans at Home and Abroad," "Long Live Hon. Marcus Garvey," "God Save Africa," "Give Us Liberty or Give Us Death," "One God, One Alm, One Deathy," "Africans Never Shall Be Slaves Again," "In or Out of Prison Garvey Leads the U. N. I. A." "Garvey First, Garvey Second, Garvey Lent," "The Boys and Girls of Today Will Be the Men and Women of Tomorrow," etc. The various auxiliaries carried their own banners, and as Mr. Dougal led the big procession the beautiful colors of the organization made a spectacle never to be forgotten even by the most casual.

Himpson, former member of the Legislative Council for Kingston and ex-Mayor of Kingston. The speakers all spoke of the true worth and value of the Hon. Marum Cervoy; how he had made his life one of service to his race, and even though unlaughing behind prison bars, not one earthly power is able to turn him back from the cause which he has made the object of his life. Our Sunday night mass meeting brought a great crowd to Liberty Hall, where a rare program was in store. Mr. H. B. Greene, our esteemed vice-president and chaplain, conducted the religious part of the meeting while the Hon. S. M. Jones took the chair.

Jones read the president General's message from The Negro World and Mr. P. A. Aikin read the account of Commissioner Bryant's death from the Daily Gleaner. The Ethiopian National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. Monday, August 16, was Convention Day, when the members met together at Liberty Hall and discussed the program as set out by the parent body. The day was well spent and much good was done to help the organization in general. Our grand picnic at the Rockfort Gardens to celebrate the birthday of the great chief was prevented from being a real success financially by heavy rains falling all day, but enough was done to show that in Jamaica the Chief is adored, and even though rain may fall, his birthday must be celebrated in fine style. On the same night, August 17, a dance was staged at Liberty Hall in honor of the Chief, and everything possible was done to make the Hon. Marcus Garvey's birthday a royal one in Kingston, Jamaica.

The first page of The News World was read by the president, followed by notices for events of the coming week. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem. S. MICHAEL.

Y., and on the way back a meeting was held in the hall at Nyack, N. Y. A large number was present and a splendid program was rendered. Many interested in the U. N. I. A. reside in Nyack, and we hope, too, that Nyack will possess a division of its own of the U. N. I. A. Among the speakers were Rev. Wm. Hawkins, chaplain of the Yonkers local; Rev. J.

Apesar de que mi encarcelamiento me previene par: realizar algo en pfo de nuestra causa, debo sinenbarg: enviar un mensaje de aliento a mis hermanos de raza uni. versalmente, los cuales luchan por su emancipacién y e¢! libre ejercicio de todos sus derechos. . Bn esta era de verdadera accién, recae en el deber de todo negro ayudar al hermano hacia la realizacién de las grandes oportunidades que se presenten en Ia vida. Este es la época para que.unides todos, pongamos en prictics el ideal de Ia augusta doctrina de la Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de Ia Raza Negra. Para ello tenemos que poner en juego todas nuestras energias y xsi liberar los diseminados millones de nuestra tan avéjada raza. El problema del negro atafe exclusivaménte a nosotros mismos. Hemos permanecido divididos los suficiente para realizar que tal desunion, es Ia causa de nuestra debilidad come raza_y no debemos permitir por:mas tiempo que el enemigo de nuestra libertad, invada y contamine nuestras filas con su espiritu de separacién. Debemos preservar Compactas nuestras fuerzas y resolvernos a conquistar en pleno nuestros derechos 6 perecer en la tentativa. La salvaci6n de ia raza depende principalmente del grado de accién de nuestra generacién presente. Nuestro ele- “fhen‘o que pudo morir por millones en Ia Ultima conflagra- cién para beneficio de las otras razas, debe realizar en este instante que solamente tiene una vida que perder; y si esa misma vida pudo exponerla en los campos de Francia y de Flanders, con mas derecho debe exponerla en la salvacién de su propio pueblo, en beneficio de nuestra propia causa. La madre patria reclama el servicio de todo hombre y mujer etiépica, para verse redimida de la esclavitud que ; Sépte qjla ha impuesto el hombre blanco... Tado. sacrificio que deba hacerse en tal direcién, debe provenir del negro, por el negro y para el negro. Ya estemos en el continente americano, en Jas antillas, cn Europa, en Asia 6 en Africa, es nuestro deber es responder a esa llamada, ya con nuestro -esfuerzo material, moral 6 intelectual. La raza negra no debe reconocer otro poder sino el que ella misma instale en Africa; una reptiblica lo suficientemente poderosa y fuerte Para protejer nuestros intereses en al extranjero. La diversidad de ideas entre las razas y las naciones ha creado un sentimiento revolucionario. Las clases reales y privilegiadas que tiranizan y oprimen las clases humildes, experimentan actualmente gran dificultad para hacer pre-' valecer su dominio sobre el sentimiento del pueblo. En el pueblo mismo notamos que se ha operado un cambio en su punto de mira; y ese mismo cambio denominado revoluci6n, en no lejano dia llevara al poder el sentimiento de las masas, destruytndo 12 pretenci6n de los privilegiados. A medida que este sentimiento revolucionairo extiende su influencia hacia las varias razas, debo advertir que el \ negro no puede pasar por desapercibida tal influencia y permariecer silencioso; el debe tambien revolucionarse en contra de las ideas de esclavitud y de servidumbre. La revolucion social en Ia raza blanca ha ensefiado a Ios pueblos débiles del universo, el modo de organizarse y los medios de actuar. Ninguna revoluci6n obtiene mayor éxito como el triuffo de la libertad de pensamiento. Nuestro elemento ha sido esclavo de las ideas de sumision del hombre blanco por mas de trescientos afios; pero ya em- pieza a organizarse para contrarrestar el impulso que tales ideas esclavistas han gbtenido hasta el presente. Nos abriga la esperanza, sinembargo, de que Ia humani- dad algun dia astiada ya de tanta desavenecia, se dé cuenta de que el mejor método para disfrutar de Ia feliciad, es| tratar al semejante con la debida consideracion; y tanto el |; negro como el blanco y el amarillo ee vanagloriarin de su | éxito y de su civilizacién ea sus reapectivas juriedicciones. Ninguna raza considerard a la otra raza a menos que ésta no demuestre éxito en sus actividades. Todas deben realizar algo beneficioso y en ¢l gran resumen, la aprecia- cién seré manifestada por todos en general. “ok Todo hombre negro debe unirse a la nueva revolucién |: que persigue colocar la mente en ef ideal de la satisfaccién |? racial y.bucha por destruir le monstrucea influencia del|' pentianionto estiavicta.

Negro must not merely wish to be successful, but they must have a strong purpose, backed by will and determination, to accomplish a drastic end. Without a proper aim the mind will not develop as it should. To have no aim makes a man a drifter. To have too many aims makes it almost impossible to accomplish any one thing. If the Negro would gain his objective, that of making himself felt economically, he must focus 'all of his attention upon the work in hand. The reason the Negro fails so often in the thing he attempts to do is because he is unable to place his attention on any one thing for any length of time. This does not apply to all Negroes, but it does apply to a large number of our people—too large a number for the need of the race. The Men. Marcus Garvey has found all the Universal Negro Improvement Association with a fixed aim. That aim is the resurrection of Africa. What applies to individuals also applies to people.

Negro World Is a Medicine for the Race To the Editor of The Negro World: The Negro World is the greatest medicine the Negro peoples of the world have today. It has been given to us by the great race doctor, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Through The Negro World the race is given an opportunity to see itself as in a mirror. Before the coming of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with its mouthpiece, The Negro World, the Negro had nothing to point the pray to nationhood. Shining through the gloom, it brings us nown of the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the only organization of this day which teaches the Negro the things he ought to know about himself. The Negro World is helping us to wage the fight for nationhood. With this ever-present aid at hand, we ought not to fail to do our part. The victory will not be far distant if we will continue to march along with courage undimmed by defeats and discouragements. JOSIAH FRANCIS Central Tacao, Oriente, Cuba.

Seventh—The so-called "reckless utterances" spoken of as made by Marcus Garvey, are the utterances that have not only awakened the Negroes of the world to a consciousness of their power to do for themselves, but they are the utterances that caused the "World's Work," the "Literary Digest" and other great magazines to give page after page to the consideration of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as well as the pages of your own paper. These do not discuss "reckless utterances" in tones of consequence and worth, as these have been treated by them. And neither has he made himself ridiculous, by barking at the moon, as the said George A. Weston has in trying to usurp Marcus Garvey's place as leader of the Negroes of the world, chosen by them. Eighth- The present officers of this organization were chosen by bona-fide delegates from operating branches in the convention, held in Detroit, March, 1925, and they are working at a minimum of salaries, to try to undo some of the work that these asylophants and malcontents are responsible for, and carry on the organization for the benefit of the people accepting Marcus Garvey as the leader and president-general.

Gill, president of the Yokohama Division. The program was as follows: Opening ode, "From Oceanside to Mountain"; metto and prayer, led by the president, Mr. Wm. R. Gill; opening address by the president; registration, Miss Thelaim Lee; address, Rev. Wm. Hawkins; recitation, Miss Anna Dickson; short address by Mr. Jon E. Anderson; invitation, Morton Seymour Dickson; address, Rev. Harrison. The principal speaker, Rev. Wm. Hawkins, took for his subject, "Wrongly Impressed," and fitted his talk admirably to the present situation. Mr. Jos E. Anderson entertained by giving us a splendid talk on Africa, which he and his son visited a few months ago, bringing back some interesting articles, including rubber that is grown there, and rice bats that are woven by the natives of Africa. He also exhibited Liberian stamps. All that board him were greatly enthused by his lecture. Rev. Harrison was very much enthused over the former speaker by reason of the fact that he, too, is preparing to take his family on a voyage to Africa within the next year. He spoke interestingly on the firmness of the U. N. I. A., advising every Negro to stand firm on the rock until the storm is over and the battle has been fought. The program of the day was enjoyed by all, and the Yonkers Division hopes to hold another service in Nyack in the near future. Closing remarks were by the president. ADELENA WILSON. Reporter.

A. Harris, second vice-president. In spite of the inclementity of the weather the hall was full to its capacity. There were many visitors from the various denominations and also from Guarro. At about 8 p. m. the rain started to fall in torrents, but that did not keep away the many who wished to hear the program. They poured in by the doors in motor cars and other vehicles. The curtain rose at 8:15 p. m., and amidst claps and choirs the performers were greeted by the most recent after and transferred guard ring. The most recent after and transferred guard ring.

NEWCASTLE, COSTA RICA Newcastle Division deeply mourns the loss of our noble leader, the late Charles Henry Bryant, High Commissioner, who was shot dead in his office with his pen in hand on July 30. His recent visit to this division has been a great help. His last words to us were: "As a division be loyal to the Red, Black and Green." The officers and members of Newcastle Division are determined to press on. Ten new members were added to our roll since the late Commissioner's last visit. He has done his duty. "Excelsior" is our motto. MONTREAL, CANADA The senior Canadian Division, the northern outpost of the grand army of the Universal, is holding its own in the fight for African Redemption. Under the leadership of that staunch advocate of Gervariney, Honorable Israel Sealy, the Montreal Division is forcing ahead. Our newly-elected lady president, Mrs. Alexander, a lady of culture and racial spirit, has tackled the difficult task of uniting the ladies of the community. Tactfully and zealously she and the lady executives have been working. Results of their endeavors were noticed at our recent picnic. The ladies, members and non-members, offered their services to help attend a crowd of about 500 persons. Our picnic was a success, both socially and financially. The sports, under the direction of our treasurer, Mr. Langdon, were the outstanding feature of the day. The general demeanor and orderliness of the crowd was a tribute to the good influence of the U.
