The Negro World

To the Negroes of America: Do Not Marcus Garvey, elected leader of the Negro peoples of the world, great patriot, reformer and statesman, the father of the movement for an Africa, free and redeemed, is, after two years, still in jail. It is your bounden duty, if one drop of red blood courses through your veins, if you take any thought for the future of your children, to raise your voices in convincing protest throughout the land against the continued imprisonment of a man who has deserved well of mankind. Ask President Coolidge to set Marcus Garvey free. Let the chief executive of this great republic know once again that he cannot refuse to show his good will toward 15,000,000 Negroes in America and, as a man, retain their respect and esteem. Let him know For two years you have mourned in silence. Bestir yourselves now and prove that you are as manly and determined as you are patient and enduring. For you has Marcus Garvey suffered. Now prove yourselves worthy of the sacrifices which he has made. The masses w PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A.

C.—A bill which will prohibit race barbers from serving white women and girls in South Carolina barber shops passed in the Senate Friday by a vote of 30 to 9 and went to the House. The bill, which was introduced by W. Claude Martin, of Orangeburg, follows the same lines as a measure introduced sometime ago in Atlanta, Georgia, which has been nullified by an injunction. Although some opposition arose to the passage of the bill, the measure being unfavorably reported by the Judiciary Committee, to which it was sent, a large majority of the Senate voted to table the committee's report. In the lively discussion of the matter, Senator Martin had the following to say: "I believe in preventing crime. A fed has developed among women in recent years, which necessitates their visiting barber abode—many of them being waited on by Negro barbers. "The president of the Federation of Women's Club tells me she thinks the bill ought to pass. Pass the measure and cut off a way that might lead to criminal assault." Sumner Taylor H. Stukes, of Clarendon, objects to the passage of the bill. "In my connection," he said, "while men own and operate barber shops and employ Negro barbers—comfortable girls and women wait for some Negro barber who has been employed in the town some twenty years. There is no reason to interfere with the barber business. This bill merely expresses the tendency of the government of today—a tendency to regulate individuals in their private business. I'm against this endless regulation of the private activities of men." "Protest Women" In voicing his approval of the measure, Senator B. J. Bumersen of Calebon, asked: "Only in recent years have women taken to clipping their flowing hair. The time has come when, if women do not exercise discretion, we as the heads of families and as adjutant of true womanhood, should put up a rule to protect women. I don't believe a Negro barber has a right to cut the hair of a white woman, though I am a friend of the Negro." "Does this bill," inquired Senator D. A. Spivey, of Horry, "regulate boot-blacks? Does it prohibit a Negro boot-black from shining the shoes of a white woman or white girl?" "The bill does not prohibit Negroes from shining the shoes of white women." Senator Martin replied. "Well, it does seem to me that is more dangerous a business than cutting hair," the Horry senator remarked. The measure classified barber shops into four groups: Class 1, shops where white persons are barbers and only white persons served; Class 2, shops where white and Negro barbers are employed, only white persons being served and white women and white girls to be waited on by white barbers; Class 3, shops where Negroes only are barbers and where only white men shall be served; Class 4, shops where only Negroes are barbers and where only Negroes are served. Volators of the terms of the bill would be subject to a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment of not more than 30 days. Daily Papers Oppose Measure Both of the Columbia Daily papers. The State and The Daily Record, oppose the measure. In a slashing col- terbal, explained "Pooling With High Explosions." The Columbia State among other things, has the following to say: "Have those members of the general assembly, who would have Negro barbers prohibited from cutting the hair of white women, ever heard the proverb that It is well to let sleeping dogs lie?" "In this state our industries are employing whites by the thousands, from which Negroes are excluded. This exclusion is effected with the assistance of statutes. Would members of the general assembly have these condition agitated? Do they want to set the Negro associations of northern states, backed by the wealth of the northern white men, to resort to the federal courts? "Why monkey with the federal constitution when the occasion is not urgent and when no emergency exists? Tinkering with the question of the Negro in industry might cause discussion that would end in upheaval. Trouble that the berber's bill, if passed, might set on foot would begin in the north and come south. "Who wants disturbance? Kindling a little fire is one thing, and putting it out another." WOMEN IN BATTLE IN NICARAGUA Girl of 20 Leads Battalion Fighting for Diaz—16 Fall Wounded as City Is Recaptured MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 11 (A.P.).—A battalion of women, formed and led by a 20-year-old girl, assisted the conservative forces which recently recaptured the town of Chinandega from the liberal troops, thus restoring communications between Corinto and Managua. Sixteen of the women were wounded, some seriously, while passing out ammunition to conservative soldiers in trenches, cleaning guns and posing food. Natalia Garcia of Managua, leader of the battalion, was shot through the left breast and is in a serious condition. Chinandega presented a horrible picture when visited yesterday by a correspondent for The Associated Press, who traveled on one of the three troop trains which were sent to the town by the Conservative Government in order to consolidate its position there. Twelve squares, chiefly in the business section, were flattened and smoke was still rising from the ruins. Bullet holes were in almost every house, and shell fragments were scattered throughout the streets. Dozens of dead were piled here and there, while buzzards hovered overhead. An atmosphere of death was everywhere. The water supply was still cut off, and that available was unhealthy. Virtually no food and no medicine remained in the town except what was rushed from Managua and Corinto. Some Snipers Hold Out A few liberals, barricaded in their homes, kept up a desultory fire, while shooting from the outskirts of the town continued at night. Ninety families were without homes. The death roll of the battle probably never will be exactly known, but the conservative commander estimated that the conservatives lost 250 men and the liberals 175. The difference was due, he said, to the fact that early in the fight the liberals had a heavy preponderance of machine guns. Approximately 400 wounded were taken to hospitals in Corinto, Leon and Managua. Forty of these were placed in the United States emergency hospitals. Germany has had enough war for the present, and isn't sending any expeditions to China. But, according to the Hamburger Volkszeltung, German manufacturers are shipping arms and ammunition to China by the shipload. The weapons are politely labeled "Sport Riffes," perhaps a fairly accurate description. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1927 IS IMPOSTOR WHEN HE ESSAYS TO SPEAK FOR THE U.N.I.A. An Associated Press message from Brussels, Belgium, dated February 10, published in newspapers throughout the United States, states that one Richard Moore represented the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the "International Congress of Oppressed Nations" and attached the United States. This is the same "Congress" at which William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is supposed to have appeared "in behalf of the Negroes of America." The Negro World, the official organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, desires to make known that the Association sent no delegate to the Brussels conference, and that Mr. Richard Moore, the New York representative of the American Negro Congress, an organization preaching the doctrine of Lenin and Trotzky, was never empowered to appear as its representative, nor has he ever had any connection with the Universal Negro Improvement Association either as a member or an official. There is a great gulf fixed between Communism and Garveyism. CHEN OF CHINA AN ENIGMA TO THE WHITE MAN Sketch of Stateman Who Occupies Centre of the World Stage — Western Education Failed to Lull Him to Sleep (BY ONE WHO KNOWS HIM) Some years ago you might have seen a little man walking the crowded pavements of the Strand with cat-like tread. A little man, seven inches under six foot, with a slim frame set off by a black-and-white check suit and Hamburg hat, he would have passed unremarked but for the typical Chinese face that peered at the Western world through still, inscrutable eyes. A lot of things have happened to Mr. Chen Yu-zen since those days. He has emerged from the obscurity of a London solicitor's office to play a dramatic role in world politics as Mr. Eugene Chen. It is a commonplace that the Oriental mind is a closed book to the Western world. China was an ancient civilization when our ancestors were mastering the technical problem of read making. As Min Chien Tyan, Doctor of Laws of London University, and founder of the "Pekin Leader," has said, hearty China watches amidly the West as an old man the gambols of a child. This is a fact worth hearing in mind when we strive to comprehend the pressing Chinese problem; her best brains take what we have to give, but give nothing of their own secret knowledge in return. China is slowly and painfully mastering the ways of the West; the West still stands barfied by the ancient Land of the Dragon. Eugene Chen is a case in point. He is a pure-bred Chinaman, born in Trinidad under the British flag. English educated, and soaked in Western ideas. He knows a good deal of us, of him we know exactly—nothing. Listen to Chen talking and it is as though one heard a cultured English scholar. He speaks English as well as he does Chinese—perhaps better. His range of subjects is amazingly wide, his erudition quite astonishing. His knowledge of English literature, history and political institutions goes much deeper than the superficial knowledge of the average Englishman in those subjects. When he talks his ideas flow into a stream of delightful lucid and pure English. His narrow face, with its high forehead under the jet black hair, remains impassive, but the secret eyes live and, incidentally, they are not particularly "Chinese" eyes. When China declared for a republic Chen threw up his legal work in London and made for Pekin. A few months later the entourage of President Yuan Shikai realized that the cause of the Sun Tat Sen had been reinforced by a powerful pen. Overnight, as it were, the lawyer had blossomed out as a political journalist. The President moved swiftly against this dangerous enemy who attacked so adroitly from the columns of the "Pekin Daily News," and Eugene Chen became silent in a Pekin prison. There he remained until 1917, when he was released, and immediately joined his hero, Dr. Sun Yat Ben, in Canton. Today he draws the batteries of the world's eyes as ruler of Hankow and Foreign Minister of the Cantonese government. He is on the bridge of the political ship, he has his hands on the wheel. But he is powerless to stater, for his rudder is loose—he cannot impose his will upon the armed forces under his nominal command. Eugene Chen, amoette of national- Anneze knowing the whereabouts of Henry Wright of Boca del Rama, Nicaragua, a native of Jamaica, B. W. I. (Santa Cruz mountains), will please communicate with C. A. Wright, D. West 133th Street, New York City. lim—a faith that may have blossomed during his many long stays in Ireland—has created a situation that might well baffle a Napoleon. A man of learning and wisdom, he is facing the dragon of ignorance. He may order the withdrawal of those lying placards that depict the English murdering and mutilating Chinese babies; he may proclaim that the sisters of the Catholic missions are the devoted friends of the poor and suffering. But he cannot overtake the Apocalyptic horse Ignorance. An ardent nationalist, Eugene Chen knows better than any man in China that the basis of China's future prosperity lies in commercial development and co-operation with foreign states. Perhaps already his astute brain has grasped the central fact, which is that there can be no nationalist China without international trade and commerce. Peonage and lynching are blood brothers. A federal grand jury has brought indictments against two Mississippi farmers for violation of the peonage law, and the investigation in that State and in Louisiana has only just begun. The system, of peonage is simple and effective; Negro tenant farmers have no money; the plantation stores are ready to furnish credit, payment for goods purchased to be made out of the proceeds of the crop. No accounts are kept, and when the season is over the Negro finds that he owes the plantation-owner money which he must take out in work the following year. Negroes who protest are, if the owner is a polite and generous-hearted fellow, kicked quietly outdoors. More drastic action, however, has been known to result from too much temerity. Where the black man is illiterate, impowered, and ignorant of his civil rights he has no protection whatever from this sort of exploitation. And lynching is only one step away. The latest mob murder—as we go to press—took place on February 1 in Texas. Jailed for cutting a white man's throat, a Negro was sent by the sheriff, who feared "foul play" in an automobile with two deputies to the nearest town where proper protection might be expected. All the usual things happened and the Negro was hanged. The mob was unmasked; a young woman in town, according to the Houston Press, said she knew three hours before that the lynching was to take place and was sorry that her work prevented for from attending. The sheriff declared that he was "mucking every effort to find the leaders of the mob," but "it is very difficult. There were many strangers in town (Conroe, Texas, population about 500) that day and no one was able to get a good description of the men."—The Nation Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent.

PRUSSIAN OFFICER WHO AIDED KRIM ORDERED TO DIE French Court Martial Cendemne Captain, for Deserting from Foreign Legion to Riffians— Englishwoman Aided Riffs, is Statement at Trial BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 12.—Captain Otto Klems, a former Prussian officer, who deserted the French Foreign Legion in Northern Africa and joined the rebellious Riffian tribesmen, has been sentenced to death, says a Tangier dispatch to La Nacion, for taking up arms against France. Describing his conviction, the dispatch tells of details brought out at the court-martial of how a supposedly neutral zone, Tangier, was the central point from which came aid, moral and material, for Abd-el Krim, the Rifflan warlord, who now is in exile on Reunion Island, following his surrender last spring. The testimony of Captain Klems, who was Abd-el Krim's chief of staff, according to the La Nacion story, included the statement that without foreign and native sympathisers in Tangier the Rifflans would not have been able to cause the French andSpanards so much trouble before they finally submitted. Captain Klems said he met Abd-el Krim at Tazna, when he arranged for the smuggling of contraband arms and ammunition to the Riff. He spoke of frequent trips to Tangier, which place, he swore, served the Riffians not only as a center of information concerning the plans of the French and Spaniards, but as a source of moral and material support. It was stated during the trial that an Englishwoman residing in Tangier, under the guise of a photo studio proprietor, supplied the Riffian general staff with valuable intelligence and also was instrumental in gathering material aid. Captain Klems described Abd-el Krim as a man of culture and refinement, who spoke seven languages. Captain Klems counsel stated that as Abd-el Krim was treated as a rebel by Spain, the defendant should receive similar treatment, but the court-martial refused the plea and sentenced him to death. NEGRO HEALTH A THING APART National Negro Health Week to Be Observed April 3 to 10, U.S. Public Health Service Announces The week of April $ to April 10, 1927, has been set aside for the thirteenth observance of National Negro Health Week. State and municipal health departments, voluntary health organizations and numerous other agencies interested in race welfare and advancement are co-operating with the U. B. Public Health Service in a determined effort to improve health and living conditions. As a first step in this widespread campaign the Public Health Service announces the preparation and issuance of the annual National Negro Health Week Bulletin. This publication outlines effective methods of instituting and successfully carrying out the program of the Health Week. It is designed primarily for churches, schools, fraternal organizations, welfare societies and other groups interested in community progress and race betterment, and contains, in addition to methods for organizing the programs for Health Week, information and sources of materials of value for Health Week work. It is the plan of the campaign to not aside each day of the week for special observance of some phase of health work. Sunday, April 3, will be Mobilization Day; Monday, April 4 Home Hygiene Day; Tuesday, April 5 Community Sanitation Day; Wednesday, April 6 Children's Health Day; Thursday, April 7 Adults' Health Day; Friday, April 8. Special Campaign Day; Saturday, April 9 General Cleanup Day; Sunday, April 10, Report and Follow-up Day. In addition to the Bulletin there is being distributed this year a specially prepared poster which gives in brief and interesting form the various rules of health and appropriate information which have for a number of years contributed to the success of National Negro Health Week. This poster is a beautifully printed three-color illustration, and it is the aim of the committee in charge of this activity to have a copy placed in every home. The porters is being issued in a very limited edition for free distribution. Single copies or quantities of the poster or bulletin may be purchased at nominal cost from the Department of Documentation, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Health officials, race leaders and others interested in the successful promotion of this observance can source copies of the Bulletin or additional information as to the proposed plan of the Health Work by writing the D. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. C., or to the headquarters of the National Negro Health Work Committee, Tuskegee, Alabama. My Dear Miss Mike: Your article under caption "The Soul of the Negro," which appeared in the London Chronicle some time ago, I have before me now, and though I am so very busy these days tickling the soil to make things grow—beautiful things and edible things, counting the eggs and tending the chicks, I must for one brief space snatch a few minutes from my multifarious tasks to send a few lines, sincerely hoping you will read them seriously and thoughtfully. The grit, determination and pluck which were necessary for your success are all to your credit, the uphill work you have had to perform we can well imagine, and we compliment you on your great achievement; but your education along constructive, racial lines is quite faulty, judging from two statements purported to be made by you in the article referred to above. Statement No. 1: "To them a white soul in a black skin appears an impossible combination." Now, my dear, why should there be a combination at all? Statement No. 2: "For when it comes down to a matter of solid foot, diversed from prejudices, the Negro instincts, all his feelings are white to the core." Why should his instincts or feelings be white? Now, my dear, we are no longer chattel slaves like our fathers were before us, but that we are still the most abject mental slaves in existence today your very words just quoted simply prove. If you will go back with me to the day when Ethiopia led the world in civilization you will find that the color black was then the emblem of purity and righteousness, Christ, the Virgin Mary and all their saints were painted black: devils and wicked men were painted white. The Ethiopian said, "As white as the devil." Today the white man says, "As black as the devil." How he Las become black is a puzzle which only the inventive genius of the Anglo-Saxon and kindred races can solve; and through their wonderfully perfect and complete system of propaganda it is no uncommon thing to hear black folk, people of color with some education, men and women whom for one reason or another we ought to be proud to make use of expressions similar to those made by you. It is all so painfully said to listen to, as read, such words as coming from the Negro, for they reveal as nothing else can his mental state. As you go along, my dear Miss Mills, please pass on this gem of Dr. Rufus L. Perry: "Color is arbitrary and unphilosophical and merely accommodating in its racial application." With every good wish for your continued success, Amicably yours, ISABELLA LAWRENCE. Orchid Farm. Four Reads. Trinidad. B. W. I.

Harmon Awards which were announced today. Mr. Harmon offers $4,000 in recognition of outstanding accomplishments among Negroes. The awards will be administered by Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Seven first awards of $600 with gold medals and the same number of second awards of $120 with bronze medals will be given in the fields of literature, music, f艺 arts, business including industry, science including invention, education and religious service. Both white persons and Negroes are eligible for an sixth award of $600 with a gold medal, which will be given to the individual making the most distinctive contribution during the year to the betterment of relations between the two races. Award for Music in 1827 As no music award was made in 1826, the funds in this field may be used this year, should the judges decide contributions merit such added recognition. It may be distributed by increasing the amounts of the first and second awards or by duplicating them. Nominations and applications will be received by Dr. Haynes at 105 East Twenty-second street until August 15. Successful candidates will be named on or about January. 1, 1928, and awards will be presented on Lincoln's Birthday. 1928. "It is hoped by the Harmon Foundation," said Dr. Haynes, "that in bringing public recognition to the exceptional accomplishments of colored people, their achievement may be given a degree of distinction which has not been possible heretofore. The results of the first year of the series, which just closed, were most encouraging in that such talent was discovered as that of Palmer C. Hayden, the artist whose fine paintings were executed in a small room in New York's Greenwich Village in the free hours he had from his work as a housecleaner; James C. Evans, a former student of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose findings in radio were considered valuable contributions to science, and others who gave constructively to the various fields of endeavor. 1.1 "We are not trying to develop a contest for prizes and for that reason the judges will not make award on the basis of best submission in a given field, but only when an entry compares favorably with the finest achievement of its kind and is of national significance." Prizes for Published Writings Poetry, short story, essay, book, newspaper editorial, or a play, all of which except for the manuscript of a book must have been previously published, may be entered for the award in literature. The field of music includes song scores, instrumental scores for single instruments or ensemble, ororatorios and operas. Painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving, modeling or architecture are possible for nominations for the award in fine art. The field of business, including industry, covers creative achievements in agriculture, manufacturing, mechanical and commercial enterprises, but since group service through business leadership is the end sought, monetary results will be considered incidental by the judges. Achievements in any of the physical, biological or social sciences or inventions of proven utility or promise may be entered for the award in science, including invention. The field of education covers contributions to educational philosophy, organization, content, method or practice and educational publicity. Unusual accomplishments in religious education, organization or social service will be received for award in religion. Five judges, persons of recognized standing in the type of work to be person upon, will consider nominations and applications in each field of award. At least one of the judges in each field will be a Negro.

Great preparations had been made for the coming of Lady Davin on Thursday, February 2. It had been well advertised throughout the city and the local daily papers had given wide publicity of her coming. The meeting opened at 8 p. m., with the president presiding. Everybody was expecting Lady Davis at any moment to come in as the president had just received a telegram from Mr. *boote* stating that she would be there without fall, but owing to illness she failed to come. Dr. J. O. Plummer delivered the keynote address of the evening. After the meeting came to a close the president announced that all the invited guests would then proceed to Lewis Hotel, where a banquet had been prepared for Lady Davis. One hundred and fifty guests were there. Mr. Max F. Crazer acted as tourmaster. Music was furnished by the Elkas band, which showed what the hand had accomplished under the direction of Dr. George T. Jones. The Trinity Jubilee Singers sang sweetly and were recalled several times. Dr. C. A. Dunston was called on. Dr. Dunston paid great tribute to Mr. Garvey. Rev. P. R.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1827 To All Divisions and Chapters We are calling upon you as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to see to it that your secretaries and presidents make their proper monthly reports to this office. Many secretaries have neglected to do this and letters sent to them from this office have failed to bring response. We are therefore taking this means to urge the members to insist that these reports be made from now on or elect officers who will make them. That your interests may be protected it is absolutely necessary for us to have these reports each month. You pay in your dues and expect the Parent Body to receive that which is due them. Your Constitution instructs these secretaries what they should do, but many of them have failed to do their duty and your interest as members suffers thereby. This is imperative and if we are to have success it must be done. Yours for better things in 1927, with "forward" the watchword, we are Fraternally yours. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. W.

For information please go DEPARTMENT IT IS claimed that over £3,000,000 pounds sterling) has been spent by the British Government within the last few weeks in sending troops and cruisers to China, extensively to protect the "presidential" lives of English men and women. America has spent a longer sum within a little longer period in sending Marines to Nicaragua and China. First we learned that gunboats were sent to Nicaragua to protect American lives and property; next they were sent to protect a canal that only exists on paper; later America had intervened to stamp out Bolshevism that had floated down from Mexico. The fact remains that more Marines are being sent, that they are in control of the little Republic; while Uncle Sam refuses to recognize the people's choice for President. As for China, America seems to be dancing to the tune of John Bull. This wily old fellow, having broken his alliance with Japan, is trying to keep close to America—the banker nation of the world. He has able propagandists here who talk of "blood-ties, oneness of interests," etc. until Americans have fallen for that kind of gab, and forth comes William Randolph Hearst with his plan for an English-making Union. Portugal is passing through a revolution, the American consulate in Oporto was badly damaged during the seige by the rebels, but no American aeroplanes or Marines have been dispatched. It is remarkable how discriminating Uncle Sam is in his dealings with European nations and Central American republics. According to the old saying, "Spooks know who to frighten." Mexico has been getting a lot of bullying from Uncle Sam lately because the former endeavored to enforce her land laws, which would hit Wall Street oil magnates in a tender spot. Unless some agreement can be reached by negotiations or arbitration, we will hear of Marines taking charge of Mexico City. It is fair to assume that anywhere a white man shows his face his flag goes with him, and if he is located in a non-European country, or outside of the United States of America, he provokes an atmosphere of unrest as an excuse for sending home for battleships and aeroplanes to protect his life and property. Very often there is no property to protect, except that which he has robbed. In the face of the many harrowing examples of this abuse of weak nations, we find Liberia signing her death warrant by granting to the Firestone Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, a lease of one million acres of land for 99 years. Firestone will no doubt extract the valuable minerals from the soil, as well as the latex from the rubber tones. Aggressions will arise from the contact of prejudiced white Americans with sensitive black Liberian officials; the ultimate result will follow—the landing of American Marines on Liberian soil to protect Firestone's interest. Thus Liberia will become a protectorate. The long, powerful arm of protection that stretches across oceans to protect American citizens is peculiarly helpless in these United States, where most needed to protect American citizens of color. Imagine for a moment an American living in Mexico, for instance, being suspected of a crime, and lynched; not being satisfied with this atrocity, the mob seizes his protesting wife, disembowels her, and crushes the head of her unborn babe. Can you imagine the epithets that would be hurled at her from every corner of Christenberg and the bombing planes of powerful nations that would lay down the country, in order to teach the barbarians a lesson? But incident and many thousands more of a similar nature take place in civilized America. The lynchers are white Christians, who would travel thousands of miles, Bible in hand, to teach heathen Chinese and Africans "the word of God." The victims are black Americans, whom Uncle Sam uses to feed the cannons in times of war and "make the world safe for democracy"; but whom he will not protect in "god's country."

PLAN TO INDUCE SWISS TO SETTLE IN CANADA Fritz Beck, secretary of the Swiss Settlement Society, an organization to establish farms for Swiss immigrants in Manitoba, Canada, explained the society's plan recently on his arrival from Montreal. He will sail for Switzerland soon to interest settlers in the 20,000 acres of farm land available through the Prairie Developments, Ltd., a syndicate headed by E.T. Tefft, Governor of the New York Stock Exchange. The syndicate acquired the land at an average price of $16 an acre and will provide capital to finance its development. Mr. Beck said Switzerland had an overpopulation of about 6,000 persons annually, and that the society would provide any Swiss farmer with 150 acres of land that he might ultimately own. AFRICAN ART NECESSARY TO NEGRO CULTURE Except for the few who are familiar with the profound influence of African art on contemporary modernist masters, painters like Matisse, Cezanne, Picasso, sculptors like Lipsitz and Brancusi, art lessons from such a primitive source as this seems ludicrous. But further even than an already mature influence upon the practical technique of modern art, the African craftsman, through their work, bring a rich message in fundamental art-values and art-theory; reenforcement in fact for some of our most needed revaluations of art in relation to life. Most of us today will concede the superiority and desirability of an art that is native, healthy, useful as well as ornamental, and integral with life, as contrasted with an art that is artificial, borrowed, non-utilitarian, and the exclusive product and possession of cliques and coteries. We have discovered that to capitalize art, we have robbed it of some of its basic values and devitalized its tap-roots in the crafts. So, an astonishing demonstration of vital art values from the unexpected source of the folk crafts of Congo tribesmen, flowering up from the soil to the plane of beautiful fine art, is not only a thrilling find for the art explorer and museum collector, but a fine text for the art reformer and an inspiration for the new art. In skill of ornamentation and design, in respect for the propriety of materials, in achievement of effect with the utmost simplicity of technique and tools, in directness and power of appeal, this art of the Negroes is exceptional. Ruskin would have delighted to add the force of these examples to the art sermons he drew from the Greek and Gothic; and twenthe century civilization, though disintegrating it unfortunately in its homeland, can perpetuate it by taking advantage of its open contribution. In importing African art to America we are bringing over the cultural baggage of the American Negro that was crowded out of the slave ship. The finer sides of African life and culture have suffered unduly through having been too long the contraband of the slave-trade and the taboo of the mis-apprehending missionaries. African art for the moment has a very special role to play in the rehabilitation of Africa in general esteem and opinion. More important still it has a very vital mission as a recovered and reinterpreted racial heritage, of stimulating and inspiring the expression of the artistic genius of the American Negro, particularly in the arts of his ancestors. It seems certain that at a stage of his development that is noteworthy for the initiation of a cultural program, the Negro of today will accept and benefit from this powerful lesson from his own past. Just as it is also to be hoped that America at large will accept in a fine spirit of reciprocity this and any other cultural lesson from a land where some of the initial steps of human culture were taken, and where, in spite of present backwardness, some significant culture goods have been produced and advanced. Philippine Paper in Plea for Comedian as Next Coolidge Age A request has come from the Manila Daily Times suggesting that the next time Coolidge sends some one to the Philippines he should select Will Rogers to make an investigation. The paper makes the promise that Rogers would at least enlighten the American people as to where the Philippines are located. The statement continues: "The American people seem to think that we are somewhere off the coast of Cuba or near the Canal Zone, or part of Hawaii. A good many government officials are under the same illusion. In fact, the Governor-General once received a letter from the White House mailed to 'Manila, Porto Rico.'"

SMILE More Deadly Than the Male Women may be as able as men at automobile driving, but we as an expert pedestrian, always jump faster and further when we find ourselves in the path of a woman-driven car— New York Herald Tribune.

When a foreign loan is offered to American investors, the managing house in New York, or Boston, or Chicago enlists the co-operation of perhaps five hundred or a thousand investment bankers scattered all over the United States. It is the function of the local investment banker to find the man or woman with savings and to show that man that it is to his interest to exchange his savings for the promise of a foreign government. It is this ultimate saver who really extends the credit to the foreign government. The managing house rarely meets the ultimate buyer of the bonds; it is to the five hundred or thousand investment houses that we must go to find his name and characteristics. These investment houses have developed their own clientele of investors. That clientele is changing constantly, dependent upon the character and the ability of the investment house and the record for successful judgment that it has established.—Dwight W. Morrow. Believe in Yourself— You Must Win Carry yourself as though you were marching to victory. Make this impression upon everyone who sees you. Let victory speak out of your eyes with such determination, with such vigorous resolution, that people will know that there is no such thing as discouraging you, because you are victory organised, because you are in the habit of winning. It is this unalterable conviction of ability to do and to be, this firm faith in oneself, that has taken a multitude of poor boys from the backwods, from the slums, from shops and factories and officers, and placed them in the State Legislature, in Congress, in governors' chairs, on judges' benches, and in other high offices.—Dr. Marden. Foreseees Religion Unity In advancing and upholding the single religion ideal I merely am championing an ideal propounded by many leading theologians of the past and present. There will come a time when the Protestant, the Jew and the Catholic will meet on a common religious plane, of that I am convinced, because the ultimate goal of religion is unity, just as truly as to unity the end for which science and art are striving.—Dr. S. Cadman. Western Promises Mean Nothing "Great Britain proposes to hand back Welshwel to the country within whose frontier it lies. Chinese sovereignty will now be restored," Arthur Balfour, speaking for the British Government, announced at the Washington Conference on February 1, 1922. The Union Jack, however, still flies at Welshwel; and the Chinese may be pardoned if they regard the pleasant statements of Austen Chamberlain, made just five years after Arthur Balfour's unpleasant promise, with reserve. Experience has taught them that Western promises mean nothing; that the Great Powers give nothing that they are not forced to give, and avail themselves of any verbal loophole to escape the plain implications of their pledges.—The Nation. American Immigration Hardships The Immigration Act of 1824 denied admission to the United States to wives of American citizens If these wives are of a race ineligible to citizenship. Hindus, Cinese, and Japanese are ineligible. Hence the curious and cruel fact that while an Oriental merchant with his wife may enter America, the wedded wife of an American-born citizen is held at the coast for deportation. Our legislation, which admits the children of citizens, of whatever color, has on occasion even led immigration officials to admit a nursing baby while barring its mother? Simple humanity would seem to dictate a change in this law. Surely we need have no such panic at the thought of intermarriage as to bar the wives of the handful of Americans who marry Oriental women. PLUM PUDDING IS POPULAR IN WINTER Plum Pudding Plum Pudding Sift flour, spices and salt. Wash raisins and drain thoroughly; add to flour with citron and orange peel, mixing the peel through the flour with the finger tips. Separate the suet from its surrounding membranes and chop finely. Add bread crumbs, sugar and beaten eggs. Add dry ingredients to the suet mixture, alternately with the liquid. Fill a well-oiled mold two-thirds full of the mixture. Cover by tying several thicknesses of oiled paper over the tops of the molds. Steam three hours. This recipe will make one large pudding (2½ pounds) or two small puddings.

Men Should Admire Modesty and Not Vulgarity A man in San Francisco says that when women cut off their hair and wear short freckles they are traveling under the banner of that most ancient of the professions of women. A moral woman, may she, might do these things and still remain moral, but she has put on the uniform and in so far is lending her aid to that immorality. This sort of stuff sounds impressive. To hear some of these men hold forth you would imagine that they are vanily concerned about morals, and indeed they are—the morals of women. They forget that if reforms are in order a mighty good place for them to start in among themselves. Gentlemen Proverse and Timers It would be the easiest thing in the world to get the women back to their old-time modesty again if the men really wanted to try it. Just let enough of their sex leave Miss Bold alone and she would spadely emulate all the virtues of the modest maiden. Men, however—and the moderns are a lot like those gentlemen of old so far as the point it concerned—have always written poems to the pure and spent most of their time with the other kind. Octavis, we are told, was a noble woman, blessed with all the feminine virtues, but that did not deter Antony from leaving her for Cleopatra, whose record was not so good at the time. I wonder how far a young girl would get these days if she put on ankle-length skirt and left off the rouge and lip-stick? Certainly she would stand no more chance of getting a beau than a marble statue. She could practice modesty until the heavens fell, and she would probably practice it without having a man sue for her heart and hand. If the modern man honored modestly with his heart as much as he does with his lips, this would be our chief virtue! For after all is said and done, men are our superiors in power and aggressiveness, and the women of any nation are always as the men of that nation would have them be. CHILDREN AS GUARDIANS FOR WRANGLING PARENTS Experiment By Chicago Judge By DORIS BLAKE In N. Y. News Judge Joseph Sabath of the Superior Court, veteran Chicago divorce jurist, has tried a novel experiment which scores a point or two for the stability of the younger generation over refractory members of the older. In six cases, quietly, the judge tried the experiment of appointing a son or daughter as legal guard of parents who sought divorces, after an investigation of the case seemed to warrant such procedure. "When the husband and wife have formed the habit of bickering constantly," says the well-known judge, "the influence of the child, backed by legal authority, is considerable. Father and mother, fearing a report by their child to the judge, will strive to live in peace." In one case coming under Judge Sabatha's jurisdiction the woman petitioned for divorce. Each parent testified that the cruelty of the other had broken up the home. The son, Jerome, age 15, was called to the witness stand. "Father and mother have been quarrelling constantly for years," he testified. "It makes me and my brother Sidney, who is 11, unhappy. There seems to be no reason why my father and mother should quarrel." "Perhaps," said the judge, "they need some one to watch over them. If they quarrel over trivial matters, report them to me. I will see that the one to blame is published." Since Jerome's appointment as guardian of the peace the warring in the household has subsided, the judge declared. THE MARINER Who wills to do right.

AT YOUR DEPOSIT FROM QUEENS Mail Order House Hamilton George, Box 64, New York City ANGLICAN MARRIAGE SERVICE REMODELED LONDON.—The marriage service in the Episcopal book of common prayer has been completely remodeled by the Church of England's Journal, giving an unofficial resume of changes made as a result of the deliberations of the House of Bishops on prayer book revision. The bishops were unanimous in their decisions. "We believe that the revision will generally be approved by churchmen of all schools of thought, except those irreconcilably opposed to any change," the paper says. "For those the present book of common prayer will still be available. "The marriage service has been completely remodeled, there being notable omissions and interesting additions. Ministry of public baptism also has been considerably revised, together with the burial service. A large number of new prayers and collects have been added for the regular services and for special occasions and saints' days." A score of clergymen and about 100 laymen and laywomen marched with banners on January 12 to Lambeth Palace, where the House of Bishops was in session, in protest against the common prayer by introducing ceremonies similar to those of the Roman Catholic Church. The Archbishop of Canterbury later issued a statement deprecating reports that the House of Bishops was contemplating revolutionary changes in the prayer book. Knee-Length Skirts Vanishing in London LONDON (A. P.)—Longer hair, longer skirts and smaller waistls are the tip fashion experts are handing out to British women who are planning their early spring wardrobes. Women with knee-length skirts are getting racer and racer in London ballrooms. Hems are being let out and fringe is being added to give greater length to the gowns of women who failed to heed the Paris warning last autumn, that the extremely short skirt was too inartic to retain popularity. Many of the latest evening gowns from Paris fall three inches or more below the knee in front, and drape to a train which in many inches longer, frequently only six inches from the floor. Sir Frank Dicksee, A. R. A., and other older British artist, who have been contending that no artist could paint a satisfactory full-length picture of a woman in extremely short skirts, now have the laugh on many of their younger associates Modiates and painters alike now seem to be agreed that knee-length gowns have not sufficient length of line to give grace to the figure, and lack the dignity necessary to afford a satisfactory background for valuable jewels.

CALLS ALIEN LAW CLAUSE NEW CROSS-WORD PUZZLE WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. — Representative Meyer Jacobstein, Democrat, New York, today introduced a bill postponing for one year the application of the national origin provision of the immigration law which would apportion immigration on the basis of the national origin or race of every citizen. "A new kind of cross-word puzzle is plaguing the members of the House and the Senate," said Mr. Jacobstein. "I seriously doubt if there are two dozen members of Congress who understand and could intelligently explain how the quotas are arrived at in applying the national origin provision of the Immigration act of 1824. "Many people are skeptical as to the accuracy and reliability of the statistical data on which the quotas would be apportioned. This being the case, the President should be given another twelve months to decide the question one way or the other." Ex-Bishop J. E. Goin, P. B. A. P. A. P. No. 11.

STILL HAGGLING OVER TANGIER Great Moroccan Port is Bone of Contention Between European Powers—Quarreling for Possession of the Property of Others PARIS, Feb. 9.—The Spanish delegates to the international conference on the status of Tangier were received formally by Foreign Minister Brinard at the Qual d'Orsay today, when preliminary steps were taken toward a settlement of the Moroccan problem. No developments were reported, but the impression is strengthened that Spain intends most strongly to insist on obtaining controlling rights in Tangier. It is now regarded as possible that if France and Spain persist in their diametrically opposing views an enlargement of the conference to include other powers will be required. While Great Britain, a party to the conference, although not yet officially represented, is known to be banking the French attitude, it is believed that Spain is anxious to bring Italy also into the conference. Italy as well as the United States might be requested to attend as signatories of the Algerias Treaty, since both are in the category of not having become parties to the agreement of December, 1923, which the three other powers ratified. The tone of the Madrid press is almost insolent, so much so that the "Journal des Debats" today says edi- torially: "It is intolerable in a pacified Europe that one should alternately hear from Berlin, Rome and Madrid: "We want this, that at the other." The famous Algorhua conference of 1894, settling one of the grave international crimes which arose in Europe in the years just before the great war, was occasioned by the challenge of the German Emperor to French supremacy in Morocco, which had been recognized by Great Britain in the Anglo-French agreement of 1894 in return for France's consent to give England a free hand in Egypt, which agreement was confirmed by a France-Spanish part later in the same year. Keiser Visited Tennier The Kaiser, freed from preoccupation with Eastern affairs by the Russo-Japanese war, made a sudden visit to Tangier in pursuance of his announced policy of friendship with Islam, at the same time giving voice to the determination that German interests in Morocco must be protected. The Bullion of Morocco was induced to abandon the French program of reform projected as a result of the Anglo-French convention of 1904, and announced that any reforms proposed for Morocco must emanate from the signatories of the Treaty of Madrid of 1830, by which the European powers defined and established the status of foreign residents in Morocco. Accordingly the opening for which Germany was maneuvering was provided and the conference at Algeciras, Spain, was called to open January 16, 1908, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, the United States and Morocco were represented. German diplomacy, supported by Austria, was outmaneuvered in the conference, the resultant treaty giving France powers which practically gave her the right to regulate all Moroccan affairs. Some ports were assigned to France outright and others to Spain, but it was provided that Tangiers and Casablanca should be in the hands of joint French and Spanish police. The United States ratified this convention, but added a protocol to the effect that it declined to assume responsibility for the enforcement of any of the provisions of the treaty. Another Treaty in 1923 The next important Moroccan agreement came after the great war, in December, 1923, but was limited to Great Britain, France and Spain. The last-named powers were in dispute as to the possession of Tangier, while Britain regarded the port's control by either as a possible menace to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean route to British India and desired that Tangier be administered by the League of Nations. American participation was confined to a demand that the principle of the open door be recognized in Tangier. At length Spain gave way to the French and British demands, and the new agreement guaranteed the neutrality of Tangier in case of war and also admitted the principle of the open door, that is to say, equal treatment for the commerce of all nations. The Tangier zone was to continue to form an integral part of the Empire of Morocco, the Sultan exercising control with the approval of the French Resident-General and the international municipality. The Spanish zone was extended and Spain's share in the administration was somewhat enlarged. LONDON, Feb. 4.—A "university" for cavalcade, where a very skilled locksmith given lectures twice a week on the art of lock picking, has been opened in the first Bed of London, where most of the cleverest British "cracksmen" have their abode. The locksmith is an elderly man with thirty years' experience at his trade. He left his former occupation at the invitation of the crooks, who promised to look after him for the rest of his life. The necessity of a "locksmith lecturer" became apparent when locksmakers began to reconstruct and revise locks in order to defeat the burglar. So many "cribs" remained uncracked — when oxy-acetylene blow-pipes were not available—that the situation became serious. Skeleton keys seemed useless, and all the lock-picking experts in the crook world were defeated. It was then that a genius among cracksmen hit upon the idea of employing a skilled locksmith. It took some time to find the right man, but when he had been carefully approached and received a large sum down and promise of regular work at a high salary, he was persuaded to give his services. Now he has become so valuable that he gets a bigger salary than any university professor. Chicago vs. New York CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Fields of drama and journalism in Chicago are up in arms. They have keenly reaped production in New York of a play entitled "Chicago," a satire on this city's criminal world and its newspapers. The author of the new play, which reveals Chicago's murderers as idols and its jurists and newspapers as more or less idiots, spent only a few weeks here as a reporter, it has been charged, and leaders in the attacks on the play point out that her knowledge of actual conditions in the "city by the lake" are limited. Word has been received in Chicago that the name of the play, at least when it is taken into the "sticks," will be changed to "New York." Chicago police have just completed a survey which shows Chicago has 30,000 criminals and crooks. There were more than 200 murders in Chicago in 1926, and during that year there were more than 2,000 robberies. It is estimated there are more than 25,000 bootleggers in Chicago. It costs Chicago more than $3,000,000 each year to fight criminals. Chicago's newest and most sensational criminal is a bandit who has attacked and robbed more than 200 women, according to police. Because he wears soft-soled shoes and crops up behind his victims he is known as "The Cat." A Criminal Suggestion LEAVENWORTH, KAN. — Development of a race of pygmies to do the world's lightest work is advocated by Dr. Frederick L. Cook, meteor explorer, serving a sentence in the Federal prison here. In an article appearing in the New Era, prison publication, Dr. Cook suggests bringing large numbers of pygmies from tropical countries to the Virgin Islands for development and training as servants. Dr. Cook said he conceived this plan in considering the problems growing out of a declining birth rate among highly civilized races which he feared would result in a shortage of labor in many lines. 1928 World Voyagers To Call at Gateway To Abyssinia Kingdom Such an out-of-the-way place as Djibouti, the threshold of Abyssinia and the port of French Somaliland on the East Coast of Africa, will be visited by the Resolute on her cruise around the world next year. This 1925 cruise of the Resolute, the longest in duration and mileage ever made by this liner, is to leave New York January 7, 1928. The steamship will cover a distance of 32,500 miles at sea, which is almost 8,000 miles longer than the circumference of the earth at the Equator. This long mileage is due to the Resolute steaming off the direct route in order to visit out-of-the-way places such as Borneo, Formosa and below the Equator as far as Batavia, Java. The Resolute will visit thirty countries and sixty-three cities during its trip of 140 days. More than 5,000 miles will be covered on land excursions by train and automobile to such places as Agra, Benares, Delhi in India; Kandy in Ceylon, and points in China, Japan and Sumatra. The Resolute will pass through both the Suez and Panama canals, visiting Funchal, Gibraltar, Algiers, Villefranche, Naples, Athens, Haifa, Alexandria, Port Said, Ruez, Djibouti, Bombay, Colombo, Rangoon, Padang, Batavia, Singapore, Pak Nam, Tarakan, Zamboanga, Manila, Hongkong, Keelung, Shanghai, Ching Wang Tao, Chemulpo, Miyajima, Inland Sea of Japan, Kobe, Tekohama, Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Balboa, Colon and Havana.

S. A. HAS THE WHITE MAN LOST OUT IN CHINA? The Business Sharks and the Missionaries Are Retreating to the Coast Line—Leaving $100,000,000 Behind From Philadelphia Public Ledger They are coming out of China by the thousands, these missionaries, traders, recruits of the Occident, and pioneers from the West. They and their forerunners have been there for a long time. Hero and there in the vast and ancient life of the yellow man they have made an impression and left their marks. These missionaries have built churches, missions, schools and hospitals. They have brought to China things the Chinese needed. While making converts, they have introduced modern medicine and sanitation and carried with them the ideas of the Western world. Now they are moving out, coming down the Yangtze to a threatened Shanghai, out of Chekiang and Fukien to the nearer seaports and fleeing all the way from the half-forgotten provinces of the interior to the Pacific. Of 4,000 American missionaries, 3,000 are said to be leaving. Possibly 5,000 others of other nationalities are following the same lanes to the sea. American missionary schools, hospitals, churches and missions are closed or closing. They remain in Chinese hands. Property valued at $100,000,000 is left behind. These workers are being blown out of China by a gale of nationalism. They all are making their greatest retreat since the Bozer days of 1901.

Western commercial and industrial interests also are feeling the shock of nationalism. Great investments not only in the interior but in the old concessions and treaty ports are menaced. All the equipment of the white man in the yellow world, his mines, steel plants, docks and railways, his concessions and "settlements," are in more or less danger. Something is happening in China. The "Unchanging East" is changing. The missionaries are not alone in their retreat. Western power, represented by its investments, its industry and its politics, is falling back to the seaboard. How long it can stand there is uncertain. It was not safe at Canton. It may not be safe at Shanghai. The old methods of the West against the East are helpless in dealing with the situation. China is done with foreign-imposed tariffs, spheres of influence and foreign courts on Chinese soil. However Chinese war lords and politicians may differ among themselves, they all oppose the foreigner. The British cannot make up their minds to use the old methods. Downing street moves troops and warships toward the Far East, but there is a marked reluctance to use the heavy land. Washington suggests the international settlement at Shanghai be made a neutral zone, free from fighting. Japan, France, Italy and other Powers with Far Eastern interests wait upon events with such patience as they can summon. These events are coming swiftly. For the first time since Boxerlama, China may be about to clash in battle with foreign Powers. A Nationalist army is rolling down upon Shanghai. The Nationalists now control nearly half the 400,000,000 Chinese. They are pledged to break the grip of the West on China and restore its sovereignty. Meanwhile the retreat out of China continues. It seems wise. The white man has lost "face" and seems doomed to lose even more than his old prestige. A significant Chinese winter promises to be followed by an even more significant and eventful summer. President Coolidge Dines With Billionaires at Secretary's Invitation WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Many of the wealthiest men in the country were guests at the dinner given to the President and Mrs. Coolidge by Secretary of the Interior Work, and many others had been invited but were unable to attend. Had all the wealth invited been able to attend, it is probable that something like $5,000,000,000 would have been represented. As it was, there were present Henry Ford, reputed to be America's first billionaire; Andrew W. Mellon, said to be the third richest man in the United States; Harvey S. Firestone of Akron, O., the tire magnate; Simon Guggenheim, the copper king; George Eastman, the multi-millionaire kodak manufacturer, of Rochester, N. Y.; Mrs. Marshall Field, widow of the mercantile king of Chicago, and others of lesser means. Among those invited but unable to attend were John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Judge E. H. Gary, Charles M. Schwab and Cyrus H. K. Curtis, the Philadelphia publisher, whose combined wealth is estimated at well over a billion dollars. For himself doth a man work evil in working evil for another.—Henied.

Stand on Guard with Guns To Present Negro Burial CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Seven stalwart farmers and truck gardeners, adjacent property owners, all of whom are armed with shotguns and who have organized themselves into a combat force with systematic patrols and relief details, stand guard at Burr Oak avenue, in the vicinity of 197th street and 44th avenue, in the township of Worth, ready to prevent the burial of one Negro body which would establish a site in their neighborhood as a Negro cemetery. While the guard is maintained emissaries from it, most of whom are believed to be acting on the advice of counsel, are in communication with civic organizations in Blue Island and with substantial citizens in Worth, to hasten proposed legislation which will thwart the establishment of a Negro burial ground.

While Great Britain, a party to the conference, although not yet officially represented, is known to be backing the French attitude, it is believed that Spain is anxious to bring Italy also into the conference. Italy as well as the United States might be requested to attend as signatories of the Altocirus Treaty, since both are in the category of not having become parties to the agreement of December, 1923, which the three other powers ratified. The tone of the Madrid press is almost insolent, so much so that the "Journal des Debats" today says editorially: "It is intolerable in a pacified Europe that one should alternately hear from Britain, Rome and Madrid: "We want this, that or the other." The famous Algonquin conference of 1904, settling one of the grave international crises which arose in Europe in the years just before the great war, was occasioned by the challenge of the German Emperor to French supremacy in Morocco, which had been recognized by Great Britain in the Anglo-French agreement of 1904 in return for France's consent to give England a free hand in Egypt, which agreement was confirmed by a France-Spanish pact later in the same year. Kaiser Visited Tangier The Kaiser, freed from preoccupation with Eastern affairs by the Russo-Japanese war, made a sudden visit to Tangier in pursuance of his announced policy of friendship with Islam, at the same time giving voice to the determination that German interests in Morocco must be protected. The Union of Morocco was induced to abandon the French program of reform projected as a result of the Anglo-French convention of 1904, and announced that any reforms proposed for Morocco must emanate from the signatories of the Treaty of Madrid of 1850, by which the European powers defined and established the status of foreign residents in Morocco. Accordingly the opening for which Germany was maneuvering was provided and the conference at Algiciras, Spain, was called to open January 16, 1806. France, Germany, Austrian-Hungary, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, the United States and Morocco were represented. German diplomacy, supported by Austria, was outmaneuvered in the conference, the resultant treaty giving France powers which practically gave her the right to regulate all Moroccan affairs. Some ports were assigned to France outright and others to Spain, but it was provided that Tangiers and Casablanca should be in the hands of Joint French and Spanish police. The United States ratified this convention, but added a protocol to the effect that it declined to assume responsibility for the enforcement of any of the provisions of the treaty. The next important Moroccan agreement came after the great war, in December, 1923, but was limited to Great Britain, France and Spain. The last-named powers were in dispute as to the possession of Tangier, while Britain regarded the port's control by either as a possible menace to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean route to British India and desired that Tangier be administered by the League of Nations. American participation was confined to a demand that the principle of the open door be recognized in Tangier. At length Spain gave way to the French and British demands, and the new agreement guaranteed the neutrality of Tangier in case of war and also admitted the principle of the open door, that is to say, equal treatment for the commerce of all nations. The Tangier zone was to continue to form an intergal part of the Empire of Morocco, the Sultan exercising control with the approval of the French Resident-General and the international municipality. The Spanish zone was extended and Spain's share in the administration was somewhat enlarged. "University" for Thieves LONDON, Feb. 4.—A "university" for crofts, where a very skilled locksmith shows lectures twice a week on the art of lock picking, has been opened in the East End of London, where most of the cleverest British "cracksmen" have their abode. The locksmith is an elderly man with thirty years' experience at his trade. He left his former occupation at the invitation of the crooks, who promised to look after him for the rest of his life. The necessity of a "locksmith lecturer" became apparent when lock-makers began to reconstruct and revise locks in order to defeat the burglar. So many "cribs" remained uncracked—when oxy-acetylene blow-pipes were not available—that the situation became serious. Skeleton keys seemed useless, and all the lock-picking experts in the creek world were defeated. It was then that a genius among cracksmens hit upon the idea of employing a skilled locksmith. It took some time to find the right man, but when he had been carefully approached and received a large sum down and promise of regular work at a high salary, he was persuaded to give his services. Now he has become so valuable that he gets a bigger salary than any university professor. Chicago vs. New York CHICAGO, Feb. —Fields of drama and journalism! Chicago are up in arms. They have keenly resented production in New York of a play entitled "Chicago," a satire on this city's criminal world and its newspapers. The author of the new play, which reveals Chicago's murderers as idols and its jurists and newspapers as more or less idols, spent only a few weeks here as a reporter, it has been charged, and leaders in the attacks on the play point out that her knowledge of actual conditions in the "city by the lake" are limited. Word has been received in Chicago that the name of the play, at least when it is taken into the "sticks," will be changed to "New York." Chicago police have just completed a survey which shows Chicago has 30,000 criminals and crooks. There were more than 300 murders in Chicago in 1926, and during that year there were more than 2,000 robberies. It is estimated there are more than 25,000 bootleggers in Chicago. It costs Chicago more than $3,000,000 each year to fight criminals. Chicago's newest and most sensational criminal is a bandit who has attacked and robbed more than 200 women, according to police. Because he wears soft-soled shoes and creeps up behind his victims he is known as "The Cat." A Criminal Suggestion LEAVENWORTH, KAN. — Development of a race of pygmies to do the world's lightest work is advocated by Dr. Frederick L. Cook, a meteor explorer, serving a sentence in the Federal prison here. In an article appearing in the New Era, prison publication, Dr. Cook suggests bringing large numbers of pygmies from tropical countries to the Virgin Islands for development and training as servants. Dr. Cook said he conceived this plan in considering the problems growing out of a declining birth rate among highly civilized races which he feared would result in a shortage of labor in many lines. Such an out-of-the-way place as Djibouti, the threshold of Abyssinia and the port of French Somaliland on the East Coast of Africa, will be visited by the Resolutes on her cruise around the world next year. This 1923 cruise of the Resolute, the longest in duration and mileage ever made by this liner, is to leave New York January 7, 1928. The steamship will cover a distance of 32,500 miles at sea, which is almost 8,000 miles longer than the circumference of the earth at the Equator. This long mileage is due to the Resolute steaming off the direct route in order to visit out-of-the-way places such as Borneo, Formosa and below the Equator as far as Batavia, Java. The Resolute will visit thirty countries and sixty-three cities during its trip of 140 days. More than 5,000 miles will be covered on land excursions by train and automobile to such places as Agra, Henares, Delhi in India; Kandy in Ceylon, and points in China, Japan and Sumatra. The Resolute will pass through both the Suez and Panama canals, visiting Funchal, Gibraltar, Algiers, Villefranche, Naples, Athens, Hafia, Alexandria, Port Said, Ruez, Djibouti, Bombay, Colombo, Rangoon, Padang, Batavia, Singapore, Pak Nam, Tarakan, Zamboanga, Manila, Hongkong, Keelung, Shanghai, Ching Wang Tao, Chemulpo, Miyajima, Inland Sea of Japan, Kobe, Yokohama, Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Balba, Colon and Havana.

S. A. HAS THE WHITE MAN LOST OUT IN CHINA? The Business Sharks and the Missionaries Are Retreating to the Coast Line—Leaving $100,000,000 Behind From Philadelphia Public Ledger They are coming out of China by the thousands, these missionaries, traders, recruits of the Occident and pioneers from the West. They and their forerunners have been there for a long time. Hero and there in the vast and ancient life of the yellow man they have made an impression and left their marks. These missionaries have built churches, missions, schools and hospitals. They have brought to China things the Chinese needed. While making converts, they have introduced modern medicine and sanitation, and carried with them the ideas of the Western world. Now they are moving out, coming down the Yangtze to a threatened Shanghai, out of Chekling and Fukien to the nearer seaports and fleeing all the way from the half-forgotten provinces of the interior to the Pacific. Of 4,000 American missionaries, 2,000 are said to be leaving. Possibly 5,000 others of other nationalities are following the same lanes to the sea. American missionary schools, hospitals, churches and missions are closed or closing. They remain in Chinese hands. Property valued at $100,000,000 is left behind. These workers are being blown out of China by a gale of nationalism. They all are making their greatest retreat since the Boxer days of 1901.

Western commercial and industrial interests also are feeling the shock of nationalism. Great investments not only in the interior but in the old concessions and treaty ports are menaced. All the equipment of the white man in the yellow world, his mines, steel plants, docks and railways, his concessions and "settlements," are in more or less danger. Something is happening in China. The "Unchanging East" is changing. The missionaries are not alone in their retreat. Western power, represented by its investments, its industry and its politics, is falling back to the seaboard. How long it can stand there is uncertain. It was not safe at Canton. It may not be safe at Shanghai. The old methods of the West against the East are helpless in dealing with the situation. China is done with foreign-imposed tariffs, spheres of influence and foreign courts on Chinese soil. However Chinese war lords and politicians may diffier among themselves, they all oppose the foreigner. The British cannot make up their minds to use the old methods. Downing street moves troops and warships toward the Far East, but there is a marked reluctance to use the heavy land. Washington suggests the international settlement at Shanghai be made a neutral zone, free from fighting. Japan, France, Italy and other Powers with Far Eastern interests wait upon events with such patience as they can simmons. These events are coming swiftly. For the first time since Boxerlans China may be about to clash in battle with foreign Powers. A Nationalist army is rolling down upon Shanghai. The Nationalists now control nearly half the 400,000,000 Chinese. They are pledged to break the grip of the West on China and restore its sovereignty. Meanwhile the retreat out of China continues. It seems wise. The white man has lost "face" and seems doomed to lose even more than his old prestige. A significant Chinese winter promises to be followed by an even more significant and eventful summer. President Coolidge Dines With Billionaires at Secretary's Invitation WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Many of the wealthiest men in the country were guests at the dinner given to the President and Mrs. Coolidge by Secretary of the Interior Work, and many others had been invited but were unable to attend. Had all the wealth invited been able to attend, it is probable that something like $5,000,000,000 would have been represented. As it was, there were present Henry Ford, reputed to be America's first billionaire; Andrew W. Mellon, said to be the third richest man in the United States; Harvey S. Firestone of Akron, O.. the tire magnate; Simon Guggenheim, the copper king; George Eastman, the multi-millionaire kodak manufacturer, of Rochester, N. Y.; Mrs. Marshall Field, widow of the mercantile king of Chicago, and others of lesser means. Among those invited but unable to attend were John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Judge E. H. Gary, Charles M. Schwab and Cyrus H. K. Curtis, the Philadelphia publisher, whose combined wealth is estimated at well over a billion dollars. For himself doth a man work evil in working evil for another.—Missed.

Stand on Guard with Guns To Present Negro Burial CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Seven stalwart farmers and truck gardeners, adjacent property owners, all of whom are armed with shotguns and who have organized themselves into a combat force with systematic patrols and relief details, stand guard at Burr Oak avenue, in the vicinity of 197th street and 44th avenue, in the township of Worth, ready to prevent the burial of one Negro body which would establish a site in their neighborhood as a Negro cemetery. While the guard is maintained emissaries from it, most of whom are believed to be acting on the advice of counsel, are in communication with civic organizations in Blue Island and with substantial citizens in Worth, to hasten proposed legislation which will thwart the establishment of a Negro burial ground.

TOOTE, Acting President-General, in his splendid address in Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday evening, January 30, as reproduced in The Negro World of February 5, made the following extraordinary statement: "You who are here tonight are all white folks, black as you are. That sounds paradoxical, but it is true. The white man's culture and influence is upon you, you are saturated with it, and in spite of yourselves you are white—you see white and think white all too frequently. "And, my friends, that is why we have opened this University in Claremont, Virginia, in order that we might turn the whiteness out of our souls and embrace that culture, that education that will lift us from degradation up to the highest heights of civilization. It can be done, and it must be done." This statement of Acting President-General Toote is all the more sensational because it is true. If you inherit the white man's language, culture and religion, and live in contact with him, will you not think and see and hear and speak as a white man even in matters that concern peculiarly Negro people? If you want to think, see, hear and speak as the Negro you must be educated to do so. How we think is purely a matter of education. From this viewpoint it will be easily seen that Liberty University is a real necessity for the education of the Negro in things Negro. Black white folks, think of it! INDIAN TROOPS IN CHINA ONE of the most distressing of the darker races in Asia there is a war in progress when there is a war between a Empire or State—as in the Ashantee the native soldiers are compelled to listen, even when they must fight it happens, and it happens in World War, when native Asiatic fight in Europe, although they conflict, tribesmen are often found. When the conflict is between the South African war between African troops fought against everything out of the conflict but in does not matter which of the always loses. In the European conquest of the besmen fought on opposite sides every one, whichever side we Europeans grabbed all of the landive Red Men off the map, when playing the same game today, oracle shall be worked, they wuest request of the Americans with then fighting the white man's life their interests. It is a fearful threat of in the immediate future, soldiers who fought in one way and soldiers to keep themselves in position makes Ismaelites of the Asia business of fighting against each of the warring factions in China, specially Great Britain, the chance serves for "the protection of this domiciled in China." When situations at their mercy they refuse and proceed to divide all themselves. It has been that way the affairs of the Asiatics and Asia but there is a new spirit abroad taking manifestation of this faction of Chinese Students in Berlin, Bindhi and Rabindranath Tagore, Spher, asking them to use their life in using Indian troops in China, many Chinese the adoption of a reed to use the boycott and the generals used in the Chinese-Anglo Indian troops to take part in have to obey the order, as they need to take part against their brethren but they can be shot down as a horror of it cannot last always. of the most distressing phases of European war, the darker races in Asia and Africa is the fact there is a war in progress as between Europeans. It is a war between a European power and a state—as in the Ashantee, Zulu and Moroccan slave soldiers are compelled to fight under them even when they must fight against their own enemies, and it happens in every war, as was a war, when native Asiatic and African troops, Europe, although they had no direct interest, tribesmen are often found facing each other when the conflict is between Europeans in Asia with African war between the Dutch and the French troops fought against each other on both sides out of the conflict but increased oppression and not matter which of the white sides wins, ties. European conquest of the Western hemisphere fought on opposite sides in nearly every corner, whichever side won. As a final outcome, grabbed all of the lands in the occident and Men off the map, where they are today. The same game today in Asia and Africa shall be worked, they will win at it as they of the Americans with the active assistance during the white man's battles as against the rests. It is a fearful thing to reflect upon at the immediate future. There were even two fought in one way and another on the side keep themselves in perpetual enslavement, as Ismaelites of the Asiatics and Africans in fighting against each other? Firing factions in China give the European great Britain, the chance they are always forced to "the protection of the lives and property killed in China." When they get in and have their mercy they refuse to give the victims and proceed to divide all that the victims may. It has been that way in every European wars of the Asiatics and Africans in the past. There is a new spirit abroad in Asia and Africa. An manifestation of this fact in the recent action of Chinese Students in Berlin, Germany, who cabbed Rabindranath Tagore, the famous Indian making them to use their influence in preventing Indian troops in China, and at a meeting these the adoption of a resolution begging the boycott and the general strike to prevent Indian in the Chinese-Anglo conflict. But if Britains troops to take part in a possible conflict in obey the order, as the West Indians had to part against their brethren in Africa. If the can be shot down as mutinous. More's the of it cannot last always. The injustice of it ONE of the most distressing phases of European overlordship of the darker races in Asia and Africa is the fact that when there is a war in progress as between European powers, or when there is a war between a European power and a native Asiatic tribe or State as in the Ashantee, Zulu and Morocco wars in Africa—the native soldiers are compelled to fight under the flag they are enlisted, even when they must fight against their own people. When this happens, and it happens in every war, as was shown in the World War, when native Asiatic and African troops were drafted to fight in Europe, although they had no direct interest in the terrific conflict, tribesmen are often found facing each other in the battle line. When the conflict is between Europeans in Asia or Africa, as in the South African war between the Dutch and the British, native African troops fought against each other on both sides, and got nothing out of the conflict but increased oppression and exploitation. It does not matter which of the white sides wins, the black side always loses. In the European conquest of the Western hemisphere the Indian tribesmen fought on opposite sides in nearly every conflict and lost in every one, whichever side won. As a final outcome of it the Europeans grabbed all of the lands in the occident and pushed the native Red Men off the map, where they are today. The Europeans are playing the same game today in Asia and Africa and, unless a miracle shall be worked, they will win at it as they won in the conquest of the Americans with the active assistance of the Red Men fighting the white man's battles as against themselves and their interests. It is a fearful thing to reflect upon and to see no end of in the immediate future. There were even a few Negro soldiers who fought in one way and another on the side of the slave holders to keep themselves in perpetual enslavement. Who is it that makes Ismaelites of the Asiatics and Africans in this horrible business of fighting against each other? The warring factions in China give the European Powers, especially Great Britain, the chance they are always looking for to intervene for "the protection of the lives and property of their citizens domiciled in China." When they get in and have the warring factions at their mercy they refuse to give the victims what they demand and proceed to divide all that the victims may have among themselves. It has been that way in every European intervention in the affairs of the Asiatics and Africans in the past. But there is a new spirit abroad in Asia and Africa. We have a striking manifestation of this fact in the recent action of the Federation of Chinese Students in Berlin, Germany, who cabled Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore, the famous Indian poet and philosopher, asking them to use their influence in preventing the British from using Indian troops in China, and at a meeting attended by many Chinese the adoption of a resolution begging the Indian leaders to use the boycott and the general strike to prevent Indian troops being used in the Chinese-Anglo conflict. But if Britain orders the East Indian troops to take part in a possible conflict in China they will have to obey the order, as the West Indians had to when ordered to take part against their brethren in Africa. If they refuse to fight they can be abot down as mutineers. More's the pity. But the horror of it cannot last always. The injustice of it must come to an end. WHAT IS IN A PARTY NAME?

The Universal Negro Improvement Association has its own THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1987 WHAT WE BELIEVE The Universal Negro Improvement Association believes that no white man is good and honest enough to govern or rule this Negro, and no Negro is good and honest enough to govern or rule the white man, because Nature made them ethnically separate and distinct, with their own selfish, respective, racial concepts, idealisms, purpose and destiny. They are positively different and morally disliker. If the one, however, by laxiness, neglect, indifference or greed thinks himself economically, politically, or otherwise, under the influence or dictatorship of the other, then, he has forfeited Nature's claim and the right to universal respect and protection. By becoming a being without pride or self-respect socially, politically, economically or morally, he has contributed to his own weakness and delinquency, and any abuse or advantage taken of him should be tolerated because he subscribes to and encourages his own racial inferiority. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. MARCUS GARVEY. Founder and President-General. political party organization and advocates support of men and measures only which are favorably disposed toward the best interests of the Negro people. The party name is only a sign under which to rally those who believe in what they have decided the name shall signify to them. There are two outstanding parties in this country, and fifty-seven other party groups, perhaps, which serve to register the protests of those who do not agree with the policies of either of the outstanding parties, and they serve a good purpose in registering their protest. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University and a leading figure in National Republican politics, has been shaking the political dry bones by declaring that he doubts if President Coolidge will be a candidate to succeed himself as president, because he has had what amounts to two terms and because the tradition against a third term will stand in the way of his aspiration. Many think that Dr. Butler's opinion is colored by the fact that he may be a candidate for the Republican nomination himself. Dr. Butler delivered his broadside at a meeting of the Riverside Republican Club of New York. Dr. Butler thought that the issues of the next campaign, which comes about next year, will be three, as follows: Prohibition, agricultural development and relief, and foreign policy. In answering the question, "What is in a party name?" Dr. Butler made the following extraordinary statement, which every Negro in the nation should meditate upon prayerfully, as follows: "Neither the Republican nor the Democratic party has anything like its old-time vigor, unity of purpose or effectiveness of organization. This is due in part to the fact that many questions which formerly divided the two great parties have disappeared from view. "The names Republican and Democrat as used nationally are now merely titles of two traditional voting groups, the members of which groups are quite as varied in their policies and preferences as the two parties themselves used to be. "The political tactics of the moment seem to be not to find out what is right in principle, what is required by public needs, but what some one who calls himself by the name of the other party wishes to do and then to oppose that, whatever it may be. "The Democrats at Washington who oppose President Coolidge when he is right because he is a Republican are in the same boat as the Republicans in New York who oppose Governor Smith when he is right just because he is a Democrat." This statement of the case contains more political truth and philosophy than can be found in any book on the subject of partisanship and party government. Dr. Butler spoke to the whole American people, but what he has to say should appeal directly to the American Negro, who continues to think that the sun of righteousness rises and sets in the Republican party long after the Republican party has ceased to concern itself in the least about him and his interests as a citizen and a partisan. In supporting parties the Negro has got to learn to consult, first, himself and his interests, as other racial groups of the citizenship do. If he does not get as much out of politics as he puts into it he is investing in a losing proposition just as if he were dealing in groceries or other things in the nature of an investment. The Negro in American politics has become absolutely a negligible force. That is not as it should be. SLAVERY IN THE SOUTHERN STATES A NEWS dispatch from New Orleans, dated February 7, to the New York Sun, says: "Slavery was abolished below the Mason-Dixon line some sixty-six years ago, but the ironies of Fate have chosen a most auspicious occasion—the very eve of the Great Emancipator's birthday—to broadcast the startling allegations that the ancient custom of buying and selling Negroes is being practiced on a wide scale in rural sections of Louisiana and Mississippi." Several cases of peonage are cited and the report says, further, that, "Federal authorities intimate that the custom of peonage among ignorant Negro farm hands in the cotton belt is widely practiced and a complete investigation was ordered by the grand jury." Two planters have already been indicted upon the evidence of two sheriffs who participated in slavery cooppiracy and turned State's evidence. If often happens that, according to the old saying, "When thieves fall out honest men get their just deserts." The Federal Constitution specially provides in article thirteen of the amendments, that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." In spite of this prohibition, slavery in one form and another has prevailed on a large or small scale ever since the abolition of slavery. Many of the Southern States have so framed their labor laws as to subject the Negro convicts to a form of slavery, and minor officers of the law have in many cases connived at the abduction of Negroes for purposes of enforced labor, as they were directly interested or well paid for the dirty work. It is peculiarly the business of the Federal Government to search out and punish those who violate the thirteenth amendment, and ever since its adoption the government has made a show of doing its duty in this respect. It is the duty of every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to co-operate with the agencies of the government in the effort to search out and punish those who engage in the work of enslaving others. Negroes for the most part, for selfish gain. Wherever a condition of peonage exists it should be exposed in one way or another and so brought to the attention of the government that those guilty of it shall be apprehended and punished by due process of law. HEALTH TOPICS BY DR. M. ALICE ASSGERON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Care of Your Baby The most important things to consider in taking care of a new baby or a young infant are: Food, sleep, fresh air, cleanliness and proper clothing. If possible, nurse your baby. Mother's milk is the best food for all infants. From birth to four or five months a child should be nursed every three or four hours regularly, according to the directions of your physician. After feeding the baby let him lie quietly—do not play with him and excite him untidily at this time. Give him boiled water to drink between feedings. Do not wear him without consulting your physician. Do not allow him to use a pillow. A new baby should sleep twenty-one hours out of twenty-four. He should sleep outdoors as much as possible during the day. Let him sleep in a quiet, well-ventilated room at night. Do not waken him to show him to your friends. He should sleep alone in a crib or bassinet. Never in bed with an adult. Give the baby a warm bath every day in a warm room. He may be put in a tub as soon as the travel is healed and dry. His clothes should be warm, soft and loose. If the child seems frightful or shows symptoms of any disorder, such as loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhoea, consult a doctor at once. The baby should be under the constant supervision of a physician, who will direct his feeding and who will correct any simple disorders as they arise. If you cannot afford to keep him under the care of a private physician, take him to the Baby Health Station nearest to your home. If you do not know where the Baby Health Station in your neighborhood is located, telephone to the Health Department. Worth $400. Howard Graduate Honored By Harvard University WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 12. Notification was received at the University last week that the authorities of Harvard University, Cambridge Mass., had awarded Charles Clifton Andrews graduate of Howard University College of Liberal Arts, 1926, a Fellow in Zoology. This announcement is rather unusual, as the usual requirements to receive a Fellow in Zoology at Harvard make it necessary to spend one year in residence at Harvard before the award is made. Since graduating from Howard University, Mr. Andrews has been doing research work in Chicago and at Howard, under the supervision of Doctor E. E. Junt, Professor of Zoology. We Might Move Easter Our progress has been commendable; some make it stronger and say phenomenal. Be that is it may, perhaps it is true that we ought to be farther along than we are and moving faster along our course. The reasons for the pace we are making are apparent and really inexcusable. Jealousy, petty jealousy, retards us. We do not say that we are the only people who in their struggle to go forward have had this stumbling block to contend with. But we doubt that this "green-eyed monster" has been more persistent and active among any other people than us. Lack of organization is another restraint. Real union and solidarity of thought and action come slowly. Working at erosion purposes is a racial characteristic. We sow united effort, organization, solidarity, system, co-operation all around, and their fruits; but we are slow to grasp the lesson. We commend it but do not practice it. We are aware of the good it does for others but are content to cling to means and methods that have brought failure and reproach and promise us nothing better for the future. Preaching one thing and practicing another is a constant deterrent of ours. Great talkers are we. And we say some glorious things. To hear us talk one would just have to believe that we were going to turn heaven and earth downside up. The philosophy—the sound common sense—the practical wisdom—we utter is fine to hear and to read; and that is about all. Our action is in our talk. When we quit talking we are through—until the talking spell comes on us again. If we practiced what we preached our present status would be one of our far-passed goals. These are some of the things that beset us and keep us from moving on faster. It does not hurt once in a while to think on things like this. We have the making of a great people in us, but to realize our possibilities we must slough off some things—Louisville Leader. DR. T. W. TURNER HONORED Dr. Thomas W. Turner, member of the faculty of Hampton Institute, has been honored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Notification of his election as a Fellow in this association, devoted to research, has come from Secretary Burton K. Livingstone in recognition of Dr. Turner's contribution in the field of research. Dr. Turner is a member of three sections of the American Association: the Botanical Society of America, which publishes the "American Journal of Botany"; the American Phytopathological Society, publishing the "Phytopathology"; and the Potato Association of America. Dr. Turner is engaged in research work under all three sections. We do not count a man's years until he has nothing due to count—Emerson. Hamilicar, brilliant leader of Bannatical, the renowned Carthaginian, said with fatherly philanthropy "My son Mannalil will be a great general, because of all my soldiers he just knows how to obey." That prophecy came true as history will verify. Obedience to constituted authority is necessary to success. The one sovereign body of the association is the parent body. It is the focus of our every blessing; the main artistry of our existence hence, obedience to the parent body means an impregnable fortress before which the enemy must fall. To surround the parent body with that power and influence we becomes a sovereign body is our paramount duty. Instructions from the parent body are like proclamations from a congress or parliament—they must be accepted as heat for our liberty and happiness—and any regulation thereto merits severe discipline and occasionally banishment and disgrace. Any division, branch or chapter which thinks otherwise should hand in its charter immediately. Africans, like Chinese, Mexicans, Philippines, Nicaraguans and Panamanians are being intimidated because they are ambitious to preserve their untapped natural resources for the economic benefit of their own people, refusing to turn them over to foreigners for exploitation. Better that these national die martyrs for the principle of self-preservation than that the invader should cross the forbidden threshold. Each of us should aspire to be an authority on the idealism of Garveyism. Every effort should be made to study and imbibe it as it is being handed down to us by the greatest authority of all, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The time is here when our representatives should be thundering the idealism of Garveyism from the state halls of the nations, the forums, continental Europe, the open air of Africa, and the press of the world. The public must be educated; world thinkers must be aroused; imperialists must be approached; cultural, religious, civic and social institutions must be invaded. Our program must be heard. Saleemens are wanted to car, the idealism of Garveyism to the four corners of the world. Make yourself competent to serve—and the sooner the better. Ours is an institution of dignity and honor. Each of us should strive to make our character and reputation harmonize with the principles which drive us on to nationhood in Africa. Our conduct as members of an organization dedicated to the improvement of the race along universal lines, culminating in the founding of a national homeland, comes in for more consistent criticism than that which the conduct of members of other organizations invites. This is as it should be. The life of any reform movement depends more upon the practices of its adherents and less on their beliefs—what we practice invariably reveals the character of our souls. We must hasten the day when we can have resident commissioners in every important capital of the world, more especially at Genoa, to report on the activities of the League of Nations with regard to imperialism in Africa, the West Indies, South and Central America, to make proper representation to that and other official bodies looking toward the economic and political freedom of the Negro people of the world, and to convert world opinion to the idea of nationhood for Africans in Africa. It is the silent heroes—that forgotten corps of brave Christian men and women whose lives are consecrated to the Ideal of service—to whom society owes its greatest gratitude. In war and in peace, throughout the storms of life and the uncertainty of the ages, they hold fast to their task, unremembered, yet cheerfully tolling to hasten the sunshine and give birth to human ecstasies and contentment. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, like others, has its quota of silent heroes, individually as well as divisionally. A long the latter glass it is appropriate to mention here the Miami, Florida, and the Oakland, California, divisions, two of our most loyal and dependable branches. Caring very little for publicity and mindful only of the great work to be done, their officers and members are deeply imbued with the spirit of service to race and country. They have never failed the parent body at any time, have always accepted the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey as final, and have no functioned locally as to win the respect and admiration of all classes, holding their own in their respective communities among the giants of fraternities. The writer is personally acquainted with the presidents of these divisions and backers in his expanded collections with the association can teach to their splendid qualities of leadership which placed their charges in the forefront of Garveyism. The mobility of purpose and the gallant determination which reign in the hearts of these heroes can hardly be suppressed. Long live Miami! Long live Oakland! And may their tribe increase! EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS We own allegiance and obedience to our own souls—to our higher nature, which none may entrain nor enchain. Star of Zlon. The most stupid realize that the Negro has been denied equality of opportunity. He is hedged in by a cast system which prevents him from rendering his best services for the mutual advantages of all. Given alms, yes. Given work, no. The former takes away his self-respect. The latter would make him an upstanding citizen adding to the general welfare of the State—Portland Advocate. No one group if the only sufferer in matters that are human. The race of mankind is universal as well as individual. There are interests that do not individulize. In these cases we must have some way to amitate for better understanding. After all much of the no-called race issue is buggaboo. It is a veil of ignorance which can be pierced by courageous and earnest men and women who seek after the truth and the right handle to amity and fellowship.-California Voice. On many occasions we have heard members of our race say: "The white folks think I am all right, and I am satisfied. We are always more than pleased to are the opposite race friendly to one of us, but we should so live and conduct ourselves among our own people that they, too, may have a favorable opinion of us, and be able to say a nice word whenever the occasion presents itself. We just cannot make it without our own folks.—Oklahoma Eagle. Youth must be provided with a medium to throw off surplus energy, and wholesome play is as much a necessity to the proper development of children as work or study. Either can be over-indulged in, but all are necessities—Charleston Messenger. Let it be remembered that the dominant race in the South will never accord the Negro voluntarily the free and unrestricted privilege of the ballot, no difference how much he knows or much he owns. If the Negro wants this privilege, he must command for it, light for it, deserve it. It will come as a reward of conquest and never as a bête host, even from our most liberal friends of the South.—Newport News Star. If public sentiment does not want a law enforced in a community, the people will afford those who violate the law protection by their silence and failure to disclose the names of those who violate the law. Laugh at obtain in this country because public opinion, in the States where it prevails, tolerates it. Disfranchisement prevails in the South because the nation tolerates it. Peonage and segregation curse the country because public sentiment supports such humanity. Sentiment, good or bad, undoes form of government, is above the law, and the law is no stronger than the support the people give it.—Atlanta Independent. / Disarmament of suspicion, mistrust, greed, jealousy, hatred, and the superiority complex are as vital to world peace as disarmament of gunz, bombs and poison gas. The first will have to come before the latter can be made complete.—Tampa Bulletin. Examine every proposition offered to us. Neek counsel often with those in position to know and learn. Be frank, open and truthful in expressing opinions. Be patient and tolerant in thrashing out differences, and by this means we shall, without a doubt, arrive safely and avoid the many disastrous Hidden Perils lurking in our pathway as we travel on the road to racial advancement.—Pacific Defender. Something About New York City's Big Population The population being what it is, every New Yorker has approximately 6,222,550 fellow-townmen. These are the permanent residents of New York. Of their total number, only 5,981,000—or about 50 per cent—are citizens of the United States, and 379,353 are Negroes. The whole population shows an excess of some 14,628 females over males. But of all of these engaged in painful occupations, males outnumber females by more than eight to three. In only one occupational group is this numerical occupancy of the male reversed. There are 149,628 men employed here in the capacity of personal or household servants, whereas 156,607 women are similarly engaged. Among the annual occupational groups far for us big a city are those from 7,007 persons and occupied by farmers within the city limits, or so forewaters or animal husbandries. And 675 are employed as police or guard workers—New York State. Heat is an enemy of the mind. The nations are so unfortunate these days live in tropical regions, and occupy so energetic so there is almost northern attribution. FIVE THOUSAND NEGROES IN NEW YORK MASS MEETING SEND RESOLUTION TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ASKING FOR THE RELEASE OF MARCUS GARVEY GREAT OUTPOURING AT LIBERTY HALL AS SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF IMPRISONMENT OF FAMOUS LEADER IS COMMEMORATED Hon. Fred A. Toote, Acting President-General, Says Negroes of the United States in All Walks of Life Desire Garvey's Release—Clemency from President Will Be Acclaimed by All SIDENT COOLIDGE HAS UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY TO ENGRAVE HIS NAME ON THE HEARTS OF A RACE Great Leader No Disturber of the Peace—His Influence Is Wholesome and Conduces to Peace—He Works Untiringly Along the Lines That Will Solve the World's Greatest Problem NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, February 13.—Tonight was given over to another appeal to the President of the United States to release the Hon. Marcus Garvey from Atlanta Penitentiary, where he is serving a term of five years' imprisonment. A monster mass meeting was staged, the spacious auditorium being filled at an early hour. The announcement that the second anniversary of the imprisonment of the famous leader was to be celebrated brought within the walls of Liberty Hall not only the usual throng of members, but friends and sympathizers from all New York, Brooklyn and neighboring towns. Philadelphia, too, was well represented, about two hundred persons having made the trip from the Quaker City. Punctually at 8:30 p.m. the meeting began, the officers of the Association and the various units marching to the rostrum. After prayers had been read by Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, the legionnaires went through their exercises, after which an excellent concerted program was performed. This done, Mr. Toote, the audience standing, read, amidst rapt silence, the first message sent by the Hon. Marcus Garvey to the Negro peoples of the world from Atlanta Penitentiary, a message which for its vigor, directness, pathos and eloquence stands out as one of the most remarkable utterances of the man. Then followed contributions from the Universal Band, under Prof. Hassell, the vocal solos and recitations. The vast assembly then sang fervently "We Will Not Forget Thee," after which addresses were delivered. Midway in the program the following resolution was moved by Hon. W. A. Wallace, seconded by Mr. J. H. Miller, and carried by acclamation: "His Excellency, the President of the United States, Hon. Calvin Coolidge, the White House, Washington, D. C.: "Five thousand members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, citizens of the United States of America, assembled in solemn mass meeting, again petition you, praying your favorable consideration of the matter of the release of our leader, Marcus Garvey, from Atlanta Penitentiary, to which he was sentenced under the technical charge of using the United States mails to defraud while engaged in a sincere effort to better the condition of his race through the promotion of industrial and commercial enterprises. "Again, Your Excellency, we, on behalf of two million Negro citizens throughout the United States of America, members of the Association of which Marcus Garvey is president and founder, do humbly pray that you grant our request and release now to us our noble leader. "(Sgd.) FRED A. TOOTE, Asst. President-General. "W. A. WALLACE, Secretary-General." Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president-general, spoke as follows: "I am very pleased to be here tonight after a short tour through Virginia. The main place that I visited was the school, our school, the great university that stands on the James river, the university that shall graduate students who will take their places leading the Negro peoples of the world, trained in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Train a child in the way it should go, and when it is old it will not depart from it. The early impressions of the youth of our race are the leading impressions, and we know that in the present condition of the world we must have trained men and women to go forward not only to defend our race, but to go forward to leaders of our race that the race may take its place in the sun as Garry intended it to do. "We believe in preparedness and for preparedness we have purchased this magnificent university, this great seat of learning that history shall point to as the great Negro university. Just as they speak of Cambridge, just as they speak of Harvard and of Yale in this country, just as they speak of Tuskegee, that monument to Booker T. Washington that shall ever live, so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have a college, a university on the banks of the historic James river, where the second cargo of slaves come, where they were landed in servitude. We now have a seat of learning there from which our children shall come forth to compete with the children of other races of the world. It is a wonderful thing, a great accomplishment, and we as members of this great organization must see to it that we support this university that future generations of Negroes would rise up and call us blessed. Garvey's Suffering "Tonight we are celebrating the second anniversary of the incarceration of the greatest Negro of all time, Marcus Garvey. (Loud applause.) We might approach this time with a feeling of deep sadness, but if we will take the viewpoint of Marcus Garvey himself, we will know that in his incarceration, in his humiliation, the Negro has taken a great step forward, because it has shown not only what the individual, Marcus Garvey, has had to suffer, but what 400,000,000 Negroes of the world are suffering. Not only imprisonment of body, but imprisonment of soul, but the soul seeks its freedom, the soul mounts in the other, the soul can only be imprisoned for a moment. The spirit rises above the body; the body is but clay. But the spirit is the immoral part of us, and Marcus Garvey represents the spirit of 400,000,000 Negroes, the spirit that cannot be conquered, the spirit that THE NEGRO WOMEN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1927 ATTENTION OF PRESIDENTS All Divisions and Chapters are hereby instructed to keep their Political Union in active operation and to insist on all members becoming registered at the next opportunity. List of voters must be forwarded to headquarters. Universal Political Union, Universal Negro Improvement Association. HON. FRED A. TOOTE, W. A. WALLACE, Acting President General Secretary General will not down, a spirit sending encouragement and inspiration to all humanity, and especially to the four hundred million Negroes of the world. (Applause) "Marcus Garvey, the great man, made great by suffering, as Christ was made great by suffering. The Son of God had to suffer—suffer humiliation upon the cross, to be spat upon, to be jeered at. So Marcus Garvey, our leader, our saviour, has had to suffer, but his suffering has inspired a whole race to seek freedom and liberty, and be satisfied with nothing less. Came at Opportune Time "And so we are assembled here tonight to commemorate the suffering—two years of a young man's life. Marcus Garvey has just begun his life; Marcus Garvey has just begun the great work of the emancipation of the Negro people of the world. He came at the psychological time, he came when we were a scattered people without a leader anywhere. He came when the world was in its most chaotic condition, when governments totered, when kings were thrown down, when people were looking everywhere, crying for a leader. Marcus Garvey came then. Marcus Garvey is leading his people still. Marcus Garvey is making history for the Negro peoples of the world. And so we are cheerful under this great burden, we are hopeful under this injustice, we are firm in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by our great leader, Marcus Garvey. "We are watching the trend of events, watching it carefully, and we believe that Marcus Garvey was destined to suffer. We believe that he was destined to be incarcerated. We believe that the very enemies who planned his incarceration knew they were working out their destiny, too. Look at the governments of Europe today. Look at our motherland, Africa. Look at the condition of the Negroes in this Western world, the United States of America, and the West Indies, Central and South America. We are steadily marching on toward the great goal of our ambition—a free and redeemed Africa, and out of this condition of the world shall come peace, shall come happiness, shall come contentment for the Negro. This is our firm belief. For this we pray, and for this we are determined to labor unceasingly." (Applause.) PROF. $EIFERT'S ADDRESS$ Prof. Selfert, a visitor, next spoke. He encouraged the membership to go forward with the work, looking neither to right nor to left. Streasing the importance of Negroes being schooled in the achievements of great Negro historical figures, Mr. Selfert advised his hearers to get a copy of the latest book written by Mr. Vandercook, a white man, in which he discussed the history and achievements of the Negro with great frankness and sought to have Negroes throw off the inferiority complex. HON. FRED A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, was the next speaker. He paid a great tribute to the Hon. Marcus Garvey and stated that in his tour of the country and from correspondence he had received he had found that all classes were now unanimous in desiring the release of the imprisoned leader, whose incarceration they now viewed as a reflection upon, and a blow to, the whole Negro race. There was nothing which the present administration at Washington, D. C., could do to make itself more popular with the Negroes of America and, indeed with the Negroes of the world, than to say the word to the warden of Atlanta Penitentiary and have the doors of the prison swing open and Marcus Garvey walk forth a free man.

Be Sure It's Prime 30s CASCAM QUININE GotBadFilm willguest and his praises sung by generation after generation of Negroes. And why should not Marcus Garvey be released? Mr. Toote asked. Marcus Garvey was no disturber of the peace. He was no Communist, no warrior out to kill and destroy. He was a prophet, a man who had a great vision, and who had the ability, the genius, to translate his vision into realities. He sought only the uplift of his race, a down-trodden people, gapping for breath, as it were, in a hard and sinful and selfish world. His influence was wholesome. Thousands, within and without the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, nay, whole communities, could testify to the great influence for good which Marcus Garvey and his doctrines had exerted. His program was a healthy one, a one-sane, a practical one, presenting the only solution of a problem which, if not solved, and that speedily, was destined to rock the world to its foundation. Far from being made to suffer, Marcus Garvey should be encouraged and aided by those in power. Keep Up the Protest Mr. Toote declared that he was confident, however, that the time was not far distant when the world at large would take Marcus Garvey and his program to its bosom, realizing that only that way peace and safety lay. But Negroes must not be content to sit supinely by, waiting for others to do the things they should do for themselves. It was the business of the Negroes of the world, and the Negroes of the United States in particular, to co-operate at the present time in one great, well-directed effort aiming at the release of the great leader. It was for them to let their voices be heard loud and long, and let those in authority know that the Negroes of the world were dissatisfied with the putting away of their champion and that they were determined not to cease agitating until he was restored to the race.

Ousting Africans from Work to Find Jobs For White Laborers The plight of South African natives under white man's rule is thus reflected by the Imoo, a South African native paper: "The Mon. Thomas Boydell, Minister for Labor, is leaving no stone unturned in trying to find employment for the whites. Not satisfied with the fact that thousands of natives have been dismissed from the railway service and replaced by 14,000 so-called civilized laborers, and also from the harbors, the passing of the Color Bar Act and the Wages Act—all designed to make a clean sweep of all natives from industrial avenues—he is now doing his best to oust natives from municipal work. Speaking recently at Ermelo at the annual congress of the Municipal Association of the Transvaal, he said, inter alia, "Nineteen municipalities in South Africa employed as unskilled laborers 18,737 natives or colored persons and 1,225 whites. That showed what might be done in order to extend the avenues of employment for European labor." He further said, if the contract price of a job usually done by native labor was exceeded in consequence of the employment of white men, the municipality would pay half and the government half." Mr. Boydell continued, "He regarded road mending as one of the biggest avenues of employment for European unskilled labor in South Africa. He had been working with the Provincial Administration in order to give effect to that policy, and he appealed to the municipalities to give the scheme a trial." "Under such here-faced and one-sided maneuvers for giving employment to Europeans regardless of the unemployment with its resultant miseries and want to natives—well may natives ask, 'Where do we come in? To what government do we belong? Is this all done because we have no member in Parliament who dares champion our cause? Why should we not share in a government service to which we contribute so largely?' The whole question of the Pact Government in turning natives adrift to the four winds of the heavens without making provision for them is growing very serious every day, and it behooves them to combine and sink their petty differences and devise ways and means of fighting to the bitter end, constitutionally and economically, this 'strangehold' clearly designed to reduce them to abject poverty—the aim of which is cheap farm labor."—The Mission Herald. Translated Into Turkish PARIS — The Koran, hereofo printed in Arabic for Mohammedana, who refuse to read it in any other language, is now to be translated and printed in Turkish. That decision was recently made by the government at Angora, which voted 10,000 Turkish pounds for the translation and printing of the Sacred Book. It is already asserted that the government has ordered various passages of the Korn translated in such a way as to cause the Turk to pay more attention to the present form of government. YOUTH FREEDOM OF SOUL AND MIND MUST ALSO BE SOUGHT In Fight for African Independence Part Women Must Play Must Not Be Forgotten—To Rise Hand in Hand with Men The emancipation of womanhood in Britain and America has had a remarkable result in that today some of the most foremost thinkers of Anglo-Saxondom are women; and curiously they are devoting their mind and experience to the things that matter. They are thinking of the greater day that is dawning in the experience of mankind, when there shall be universal brotherhood, and nation shall greet nation, and men of every hue will see in one another the imminence of the great Universal Soul that controls and rules our being. Let us note in passing that what has made the emancipation of woman possible, with these remarkable results, is education. Co-education has been the practice of the day, with the result that the development of mind and character in both men and women have run pari passu. We desire to apply this principle to the emancipation and redemption of the African peoples. It is Education that we want-education of the very best type, capable of freeing the soul from those complexes which have tended in the past to stamp the race with inferiority. We want to lift ourselves from the vicious air of subjugation into the beautiful atmosphere of not only bodily freedom, but also the freedom of both the soul and the mind. Women Must Rise Hand in Hand And in this education we must not forget our womanhood; they must rise hand in hand to the attainment of national freedom and the spirit of independence which will enable them to take their place in the new civilization. Speaking of the new civilization, it is observable that of the new race that shall spring forth from the bowels of experience of the mighty forces of the Universe, the African FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Never Discovered but thousands of people testify that POTENTINE restores Pep, Ambition, lasting Vigor, Youthful Courage, strong Vim, Energy; gives new Life, surprizing benefits to Mind and Body, Make no Mistake!

Blessed by Providence with such indigenous ideas and sentiments which make it possible for us not to live each for himself or herself, but for all, we have, as we said before, an element of permanence which must make an important contribution to the sentiment of universal brotherhood. It will thus occur to the intelligent reader that the work that is before us as a race and as a people is of such permanent utility in the cause of humanity that we must be prepared to play our part. In the course of doing our share will come, curiously, the opportunity for those material developments which must go to support our contribution to the new civilization. Were we to pursue this thought further, we might write columns upon it; but this is neither the place nor the time for it, and we shall content ourselves with having given our readers an inkling of what is passing in the world of thought.

Spanish Section La Asociación Universal para el Adalante de la Raza Negra crue que ninguna hombre blanco, es lo suficientemente honrado para governor al hombre negro, porque la Naturaleza los creo con su idealismo, su propuesto, su destino y su propio concepto racial. Si el uno, sin embargo, por pereza, nagligencia o indiferecnia se cree economica, política o de cualquier otro modo bajo la influencia de dictadura del otro, entonces ha dejado de seguir el precepto de la Naturaleza, y perdido el derecho al respeto universal. Debemos crear nuevas oportunidades para nuestra raza— Lucha de un pueblo por el reconocimiento de sus derechos constitucionales—Actuaciones de los que se openen a nuestro movimiento—Desventajas agarrotantes de las minorias Conviertendose en un ser sin orgullo ni respeto propio, ha contribuido a su propria debilidad y delincuencia, y cualquier abuso que sobre el se cometa debe tolarlo, por el hecho de haber *alentado su propia inferiodidad ractal*. El mayor esfuerzo de este movimiento de nuestra raza es crear nuevos ambientes, nuevas oportunidades para el negro, dado al estado en que se halla, y el mas alto cuanto mejor propósito en que podamos servir, es el constituir una nación que rinda a la raza en general toda la seguridad que necesite. En contra de todo esto, los muy titulados leaders de nuestro pueblo luchan desconcertadamente. Invariablemente estos leaders nos incitan a luchar por nuestros derechos constitucionales, exactamente donde nos encontramos y nada mas constituirá la solución del problema en pie para el mejoramiento de la clase toda. Pero quien les indica que nosotros no luchariamos por tales derechos dondequiera que nos encontramos? La Federación Centroamericana es Nocosaria En la reunión de la Asociación de Politica Extranjera, el senador Shipstead sugirió que los Estados Unidos tomaran parte activa en la creación de una Federación Central Americana que mejorase la situación política de dichas republicas. Nuestra organización no dice eso; ella va mas alla. Ella dice: luchad también para crearos una constitución de suyo propia. Por este hecho estamos considerados como sonadores, y llevando a efecto nuestras prédicas y nuestras aspiraciones, se nos considera también como enemigos de cualquiera otros derechos que puedan caberle al negro. ¡Cuan irrazonables y faltos de sapiencia son nuestro detractores! Leyó una resolución que el había preparado para presentar al senado y al presidente, pidiendo se cite a una reunión de los representantes de los gobiernos de la América Central para hacer una Federación de las República de Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador y Nicaragua. Lo que nosotros hemos llegado a traslucir de la observación de sus acciones, y por nuestro estudio detenido de aquellos hombres que se oponen a nuestra obra, es simplemente este: que ellos (los tal Hamados leaders) estan desesosos de seguir la línea de mínima resistencia, estan desecosos de utilizar y monopolizar las ventajas creadas por la raza opuesta, sin hacer esfuerzo de crearse a si mismos, no sabiendo ni realizando que tales gente jamas cederán tales ventajas, a aquellos que no havan cooperado con ellos en el formato de la obra que han edificado. Sobre la actitud de los Estados Unidos al mandar los marinos para que actuaran de policías en Nicaragua dio: Si se hace ley que los Estados Unidos envien a las republicas de Centra América marinos cada vez que ocurre algún desorden, con al solo objeto de proteger las vidas e intereses de los norteamericanos y otros intereses, se necesitara un cuerpo armado de cuatro millones y dos cientos busques de guerra. Este pais debe adherirse a la Doctrina Monroe: pero no debe de admir la actitud del niño que se apodera de una cachipira de un agente de policía y amenaza a todos sus compañeros de juego si no van a la escuela todos los domingos y comen cierto número de helados solamente. Los americanos del Centro y Sur de América son nuestros hermanos políticos por su situación natural y simpatizan con nuestros ideales. He aquí donde el gran problema del negro entra en juego, tal como acontece en los pies donde el negro forma una minoria y las otras razas y mayoria abumadora. Aunque la asistencia de las minoria haya sido usada en la creación de nuevas civilizaciones y nuevas oportunidades, las mayorias siempre usarán lo mejor este nuevo orden de cosas y pacarán partido de las situaciones creadas por tales civilizaciones, con desventajas agarrarome de las miniones, porque en el reino del apurgo popular el voto de las mayorias será siempre por el interes de los mas, en contra de los intereses de los menos. ¡Cuán desesperanzado es para nosotros el ah ameramente y agitar las masas de nuestro pueblo a adquirir derechos constitucionales, cuando con ello jams se verán resueltos nuestros más intimos problemas! Nosotros hemos estado agitando esta propaganda en Norte America por espacio de medio siglo; en las antillas y en otras partes de este hemisferio, el mismo convulsismo ha sídose llevado a cabo por los últimos ochenta años. Que hemos ganado sino una perpetuación del mismo problema, el cual nos depriva nuestro derechos, quedando pues en el mismo status que cuando empezó el movimiento reaccionario en defensa de nuestros derechos inalienables que se nos quieren cohartar? El exministro de los Estados Unidos en Nicaragua, Sr. Wetzel, resintió del empleo de la palabra intervención al describir la ocupación de Nicaragua por los marinos de los Estados Unidos, diciendo que esta actividad podía mejor llamarse cooperación, y que los Estados Unidos basaban su autoridad en un convenio internacional y han tomado parte en los asuntos de Nicaragua a invitación del gobierno reconocido. Es esta realización de lo desesperanzado e inutil que se nos es el conseguir un trato equitativo, donde como una minoria esamos siempre a merced del deseo y capricho de los mas! Y realizando todo esto, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra busca, persigue la unión de los grupos de minoria de los negros de todo el mundo; tal como lo estamos aqui, en las antillas, en Centro y Sur America, así como la gran mayoria de Africa, con el propósito de constituirse en contigente mayor, creando así una mayoria y viniendo a ser esta una seguridad por medio del formato de una nación, que nos dé los privilegios y las oportunidades que necesitamos. Dijo que en el aflo de 1890 el presidente Cleveland desembarcó tropas en Coxinto. Nicaragua, a solicitud del gobierno liberal, para proteger las propiedades inglesas y ayudar a apasar una revolución. Esto se hizo de acuerdo con la Doctrina Moncrie y para evitar que los ingleses se epoderaran del puerto como hicieron en el 1895, y desde entonces se han envido buques de guerra y marinos a varios puertos de Hispano América para proteger las vidas y propiedades de los ciudadanos norteamericanos. Hombre sobrios e inteligentes no pueden razonar de otra manera; y el porqué de que los tal llamados leaders de la raza se opongan a un movimiento como el de nuestra organización, es imposible concebirse, a ecepción de que ellos se basen sobre el egoismo de verse distanciados de sus comodidades; individuales, ventajas unipersonales en esta vida mezquita, do quita de las masas las ventajas generales que al puesto pertenecen; esto es, satisfaciendo sus estómagos con las piltrafas de su egolatria y humillación. Anadió que la política de los Estados Unidos sobre el reconocimiento de los gobiernos no ha sido siempre uniforme, pero siempre ha requerido que el gobierno que solicite reconocimiento sea de hecho y en este caso resulta que el del doctor Sacasa no era de considerar, por haber este huido de Nicaragua, mientras que el de Diaz no solamente era de hecho, sino que era por election, según exige la Constitucion. Mientra un politico pueda elevarse aquí y otro alla un leader enriquecerse lo bastante aca y otro haga lo propio acualla, es mas que material suficiente para que los directores sigan propagando, que la solución de nuestro problema estará resuerta siguiente como hasta el presente, conformándonos con el status quo que demandan las circunstancias que nos rodean. Pero que viene a ser de las masas que nada realizan para garantir su satisfacción como pueblo, como clase, como entidad? Esta es la gente por quienes, nuestra organización labor, y los pocos que egolisticamente no piensan sino en si mismos por salvar su propiedad individual, son los que se oponen al programa que preserva la elevación de la raza, hacia un nivel de vida saludable, que vida de mayor libertad y de mayor exención, para el desarrollo de las multisites oportunidades a que se asignen贤贤. Se por consiguiente un deber de mostrar parte el advertir a seguirem, menas en este hemisfero occidental, que es uno para que ignorando la política de los egolistas, quieren con la cual proponen en sus respectivas comunidades, y que las importa la capacidad de su comienzo, es hora ya exigirlos, para evolucionar como en su entorno y hara la disposición de los digirnos por nuestra palabra, que piensa para beber El Sr. J. López, editor de una revista muy conocida, ha dicho que en toda la América hay el más vivo deseo de formar una Federación de las Republicas de Centro América; pero formada por los representantes de dichos gobiernos y no bajo los cuidados de Washington. Ha dicho además que la intervención de los Estados Unidos en Nicaragua desde el año de 1909 ha unicía y que el tratado en el cual se basa en actividades de los Estado Unidos en Nicaragua no responde a los despues de la mayoría, sino el de los que se hallaban en el poder entiñen. División San Blas, Panamá La Sra. M. L. T. De Mena, organizadora internacional a仕este, hiao una visita oficial a la División de San Blas el día 7 del pasado. Fueron a recibirla al puerto los Sres.

Todos hicieron el corto viaje por tren y fueron recibidos en la estación por una delegación compuesta de miembros y amigos de la organización, la cual escortó a la recien llegada al hogar del presidente de la División. A las cinco de dicha tarde la Sra. De Mena convocó a meeting a los officiales de la División. Ciertos asuntos concernientes a la labor en general y a las condiciones de la División. fueron presentados a ella en dicho meeting. el cual resultado muy olacentero y beneficioso. Al siguiente domingo se celebró un mass meeting en el Liberty Hall de dicha División. El espacioso local se vio invadido por un gran número de entusiastas, miembros y amigos de la organización, ancioso de escuchar las buenas nuevas de la Oficina General y de otras Divisiones. La apertura del meeting estuvo a cargo del Sr. Michael Merchant, quien actuó como sacerdote con un corto programa religioso. El secretario leyó el mensaje semanal del Presidente General en el Negro World. Un mensaje de bienvenida por la Sta. Bernice Watson fue seguido de una presentación de flores a la distinguidia visitante. El discurso o la Sra. De Mena estuvo lleno de inspiración y entusiasmo, el cual fue calurosamente aplaudido. Este trajo como resultado la adhesión de veinte y un miembros mas a la División. Su visita ha cooperado para que la División tome nueva vida y nuevas esperanzas en la condución del programa por la redención de la madre patria. H. N. STAPLE, Reporter. La Enmienda Décimo Octava El doctor C. Norris, primer médico forense de esta ciudad, refiendose a la ley de la prohibición de licores, hizo las siguientes manifestaciones.. No puedo llegar a explicarme, por tusias que lo considere bajo diversos puntos de vista, como este pais, poseyendo las mejores mentes y los hombres de negocios mejores del mundo entero, pueden estar tranquilanente sentados y echen sus manos a lo alto cuando se les pregunta sobre la prohibicion y digan en realidad que no pueden hacer nada sobre el particular. Los temblores alcoholicos que son desordenes que anteriormente hubieran sido considerados bajo el término general de delirium tremens, pero que en la actualidad abarca todos los defectos mentales que son el resultado de haber usado con exceso los estimulantes alcoholicos, han aumentado considerablemente en los ultimos años. Y aunque solo hablo por la ciudad de Nueva York y en mi capacidad oficial de medico forense de esta ciudad, puedo decir con toda certeza que las mismas dificultades y los mismos resultados se han observado en los hospitales de otras ciudades por todos los estados de la Union, aun en esos estados en que habia una prohibición de licores alcohólicos antes de que dicha ley se hiciera parte de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. Usemos sentido común sobre el problema de la prohibición. Sabemos como un hecho real que ello es la mayor fuente de corrupción política que pueda existir en el ejercicio del gobierno del pais. Sabemos de sobra que es imposible controlar los aptetos de la humanidad. Sabemos que haciendo el pecado dulce lo hace más agradable y también sabemos que no existe nada sobre el pecado excepto su secreto. Ningún hombre ni ninguna mujer coneite a sabiendas un pecado ante la vista del público. Pero poned una valla alrededor de uno o bien alrededor de los dos y ellos pecarán hasta saciarce. Por consiguiente, si el ingerir licores es un pecado, lo cual ni lo alarmo ni lo nio pues, pues soy muy imparcial en la relación personal con dicho sujeto, lo hemos hecho más dulce y más atractivo obligandolo a ser secreto. Testigo cierto de lo que digo es la existencia de las botellitas para la pistolera, así como las que se nean en las igas; y lo son también las fuentes libres y la desintegration moral de una perse considerable de la juventud de ambar seco en los tiempos actuales.

A WINNER HOME IN ROLE OF "THE JOHN JONES" DUBLIM, Jan. 31. When the Dublin Drama League, of which W. B. Yeats is the president, announced last season that Regina O'Donnell, the Emperor Jones' would be included in its productions, there was a question of opinion as to the wisdom of the proposal. The majority of those interested favored the idea, but the minority, and it must be confessed it was a very small minority, opened that no white man, however clever, could play the title part; that only a Negro could get the realism of the author's conception. At that time, however nothing came of the Drama League intention; it was explained that the author had expressed his unwillingness to permit the production. Be that as it may, Mr. O'Neill's objections must have been overcome and the play was announced early in the present season. It was taken for granted that Rutherford Mayne, founder of the Ulster Literary Theatre, author of "The Drone" and other plays and guiding spirit of the Ulster Players, would, as originally planned, assume the part of the Pullman porter royalty. Mr. Mayne is a man of big stature and he possesses an unusually fine voice. Moreover, he is an actor of ability and, at least in Ireland, there is no other member of the professional or quasi-professional stage so well suited to play Mr. O'Neill's ill-fated hero. But there remained the theory that it was no part for a white man and speculation turned on the probability of a "magpie" interpretation. As things turned out, that description is, in a sense, quite appropriate. Mayne had to assume the double task of grasping the psychology of the ordinary, normal Negro mind and then of building up the character of Brutus Jones. It was quite clear that he did make an effort in this direction, but it was equally clear that his knowledge of the colored man was very superficial. All through his performance Mayne was the white man beneath the dark make-up. In the opening scene he was at his best. That is to stay, he came nearest in that scene to the real Negro, although he frequently slipped away from the "Negro speech" and spoke the colloquialisms with slightly altered emphasis. He rang true throughout the entire scene and his acceptance of the wholesale desertions and their portent, followed by his dignified departure, left nothing to be desired. Soon after his entrance into the forest, however, the white actor and the author's realism came into conflict, and from that moment forward he ceased to be a Negro and became the white man playing the part of the Negro in the white man's way. Mr. Mayne became more and more restrained in each successive scene. As the peril increased, the more subdued he became. He scarcely moved at all, but ever alert, ever listening he seemed to weigh his every thought Gradually he yielded to physical weariness until, at last, lying on the ground exhausted, he prayed softly to his Creator for aid. His Brutun Jones was a thinker who collected all his wits and held them together for the purpose of baffling his hunter. In his handling of the scenes with the apparitions his acting was that of a white man who was delicious and whose mind somehow vaguely grasped the fact. There was no abandon in his voice, no panic of movement, no suggestion of madness. He was in the throes of delirium and his defeat proceeded from external rather than from internal causes. He was never terrible to behold, nor did he succeed in making his audience become part of the play as St. John Ervine objected, Paul Robeson did. In brief, Rutherford Mayne was not the character drawn by the author, thereby lending color to, if not proving, the theory as to the part being one that no white man could play. Inamuch as Mr. Mayne made the play intelligible to his audience, the interpretation must be regarded as successful, and the Dublin Drama League has done the author and the world theatre a great service in undertaking the production. Mr. Mayne Music in Sierra Leone West Africa BY M. A. & MARGARET A. In "Wasa," Journal of the West African Students' Union of Great Britain. The African is noted, among other things, for his love of innocent and light-hearted gaiety. The cares of the world do not, as a rule, weigh heavily on him. They are invariably temporary and soon pass away. This love of gaiety is intimately connected with his innate love of music. He knows what it is to sing in the face of difficulties, and his pre-disposition to music has assisted him in no small measure towards whatever progress he has achieved. there are, at present, two forms of music: The European and the African. The European type prevails with a section of the community which has received Western education in the schools where the practices of Western civilization are encouraged, and this, in a very broad way has done much to the detriment of the culture of African life. African music, however, is more extensively used, inasmuch as the greater proportion of the community is innocent of the Europeanizing influence of the schools. In most cases African music is interprated on instruments of purely local design. European instruments are occasionally used, the cornet and tine drum in particular. A considerable proportion of the inhabitants of the Protectorate are farmers. With this predominantly farming population a greater part of the day is spent on the farms, and it is usual for them, after the daily ablation and clinner, and discussion of domestic affairs, to pass the rest of the evening pleasantly at home. The favorite pastime is generally story-telling, and these stories are often interspersed with songs by each of the narrators, the rest of the family forming a chorus. No special musical instruments are used to accompany these songs except when, instead of the story being narrated to the whole family group, it is told privately to someone who plays a particular instrument like the Hawaiian guitar. By the different tunes he plays he signifies to the audience whether or not they are succeeding in unraveling the story communicated to them. Those of the community who are not attracted by indoor amusements indulge in dancing in the open air. Singing at such times is invariably accompanied by different forms of instruments, but of these the tom-tom and shake-shake are the most popular. The songs are mostly like popular jazz tunes and they often have a short-run of popularity, being eventually supereded by new ones. The original sources of some of these popular songs are sometimes very obscure, but it is wonderful how quickly they spread to different varieties without any form of formalized advertisement. The Whenever a great number of people come together for the purp of doing some public work, such road construction, or where there gathering (Kughe) of townmen villagers to work in a larger a group of musicians to provide music for or, occasionally, t would sing a pe The boatmen, t clally enthusiasm, munity singing, like the writer, has men sing to the accompany, their oars, will not easily forget the impressions of their tuneful music. In the different secret societies music is also an important item. In this Bundu Secret Society the girls are taught the rudiments of good singing is entitled to something more than mera congratulations. It took courage rather than ambition to consent to assume the part at all, and, under the circumstances, his study of the role was more than remarkable. In view of the fact that he is the first white actor to play Brutus Jones, he may be said to have made theatrical history. Mr. O'Neill's play is well known throughout Europe, and, now that it has been produced with a white man in the chief role, it is probable that other centers will follow Dublin's example and stage the play. For Susan Glaspell's one-act play, "Trifles," which preceded the O'Neill play, the Drama League obtained a and dancing during the initiation period, and the musical performances in the early morning of the day acquire pleasures of melody in the quiet calm of a grope down. The Wende now mostly prevalent among the Gba-mandala tribes, also provides an extensive course in singing and gymnastics. During the period of intertribal wars, it served the purpose of a military school and any member of the community who remained a nonmember of the society was treated as an outcast of the tribal. The French Society is already beset, but they also provide music during the initiation course, relations of these to be initiated being always required to be present. Members of this society use the Mbill-wal big drum to accompany the singing. This particular drum has a diameter of about two feet and is about six feet long. The wood is hollowed out and covered with sticks at both ends. Most of the other secret societies, such as the Tuma and the Yansin, have their own peculiar forms of music. Generally speaking, the musical instruments used in the Protectorate vary with the different tribes. The tom-tom, shake-tom, gphib-boh, and the corge are most popular among the Mendis. The tenor-tone from residues of a long piece of wood daily hollowed out with a diameter of about twelve inches. Half of the upper cleaver ference is covered with granules. The tone can be modified by the graduated tension of the corvee. The instrument is played with the palm of both hands and the percussion is frequently the conductor of the corvee. The pan-shake, mostly used by the female section of the community, consists of a hollowed-out calabash or graped with long handles and a band of tapes or cowries. The hands are manipulated in such a way that when the elbow comes into contact with the hand, these results a peculiar jigging sound like that of a tambourine. The hands so much like the mhla generally described except that one end of it is covered over, and the other part of its scale sounds like a balandi and kelé are popular among the Temene tribes, and the first of these two instruments has a basic construction not much higher than the his superior tr... to improve the music so as to make it a fitting expression of the African's emotional self. cast composed exclusively of Abbey players. This subtle little masterpiece owed its effectiveness chiefly to Ellen Crome, who, as Mrs. Hale, got her every point across. Her associates gave the impression that they were conscious of the difficulties to be encountered and, in their anxiety, they frequently fumbled lines and situations pregnant with meaning. The fact that scores of people were unable to obtain admission to the Drama League performances and the heavy advances booking for the seven performances to be given next week are evidence of the interest taken in the works of Eugene O'Neill, of which "Emperor Jones" was the first to be presented in the Irish capital.
