The Negro World

Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VO. XXII. No. 16 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927 The "Flying Fool" Confounds The "Experts" NEGROES MUST TAKE A LESSON FROM LINDBERGH'S EXAMPLE OF PLUCK, DETERMINATION AND SELF-CONFIDENCE AND CONFOUND THE "EXPERTS" IN RE: THE REDEMPTION OF AFRICA Marcus Garvey, a Man of the Lindbergh Type, Father of the Programme for an Africa Redeemed, Will Be Released from Prison So Soon as Black Men Get-the Lindbergh Spirit Charles Lindbergh! A young man, twenty-five years of age, a Nordic. His name and fame will ever live in the minds of men, and especially white men, for by flying from New York to Paris alone in a single motored monoplane, he captured the imagination of the world. His was a deed courageous, nay, audacious, extraordinary. And so at this moment he is the recipient of honors more lavish than emperors have commanded; the adulation and admiration heaped upon him are sincere and spontaneous, not the result of clever propaganda work, nor the accustomed acclaim of unthinking hosts schooled in the miserable business of glorifying what is offtimes a symbol of their oppression. Every Negro should find inspiration for worthwhile endeavor in the brilliant exploit of the "Flying Fool," as Capt. Lindbergh, the valiant, has been dubbed by his precious peers. Here was a young man, with unbounded confidence in himself, who understood the meaning of the words, "With God all things are possible." He saw himself, made in the image of the Creator, with all things possible unto him, and vowed to conquer space and the elements. Like Daedalus, he essayed on fleet wings to span an ocean, and he succeeded in his self-appointed task. Now a whole world pays him homage; his name is written imperishably in the hall of fame; virtue is given to the myth of white superiority. Mr. Lindbergh has the hearty congratulations of the Negro World. While others of his race, supposedly better conditioned for the flight than he, squabbled and fretted and haggled over money terms, and fed fat on publicity, he jumped into his plane and winged his way to Europe. Nungesser and Coli, famed heroes of France, died attempting the same deed, but he was undeterred. And he triumphed as it is given to few to triumph. What a lesson for the Negro race does this epochal feat hold! The moral is plain. Faith will move mountains—faith, confidence, and the will to do, or die. As Lindbergh and his "Spirit of St. Louis" took to the air, after a breath-taking run down the muddy field, the experts said, "He has but one chance in a thousand;" Lloyds considered him too great a risk; the New York Evening Graphic, perhaps the most trying example of journalism in the world, out of its canny, nauseating spirit of opportunism, redoubled its efforts to make the public believe that Lindbergh's project was foolhardy and should be arrested by the Government; the Graphic believed that Lindbergh would fail, and was laying the foundation for an impressive "I told you so." But youth was undismayed. Lindbergh, daring and determined, pressed on. There is a lesson in all this for Negroes, and especially Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Eight years ago Marcus Garvey, a man of the Lindbergh type, came to America and founded an organization and propounded the gospel of "Africa for the Africans." He trod upon the corns of powerful whites and pusillanimous blacks, and he was seized and thrust into prison. The "experts" declare that "Africa for the Africans" will never be more than a saying; that no awakened sense of justice and right will accomplish Marcus Garvey's release from prison until he has served his five-year sentence. Ignore the "experts," Negroes, taking a leaf from Lindbergh's book. With MAN all things are possible. Africa can be redeemed, Africa will be redeemed. Marcus Garvey can be freed, Marcus Garvey must be freed, all asseverations to the contrary notwithstanding. Get the do or die spirit of "The Flying Fool" and you will speedily attain your hearts' desires.—The Editors. Mish Resources Entiox Exploiters "Freedom" of Natives of Ancient Kingdom of Abyssinia in return for Five Years of Enslavement (From the Daily Worker, May 17) American capitalism now has its eyes turned towards Ethiopia, formerly known as Abyssinia. An unlimited amount of rubber, coffee, porch and other resources, with plenty of slave labor, makes Ethiopia unusually attractive to this country. The correspondent of the Chicago Daily News has described the situation in detail. Under the pretence of "freeing" the slaves of that country, foreign capital has been invited to purchase the slaves from their owners. All Facilities The American correspondent reports that "Seriously intentioned and responsible parties will be granted all the facilities and favors necessary to ensure the financial success of their enterprise. The Abyssinian government is ready and eager to favor foreign capital which can develop the country and aid in the actual liberation of slavery by employing the slaves as workmen in their development projects." The manner in which the slaves are to be "observed" is described in the official announcement as follows: "Foreign capital will be invited to lease tracts of land for the cultivation of coffee, rubber, fruit and other products and for the raising of cattle, sheep and horses. Such enterprises will be furnished above labor and will be obligated to remit one-half of the laborer's wage to his owner, the other half to be held by the government until such time as his accumulated earnings will suffice to purchase his freedom, which, according to estimates so far obtainable, will be approximately five years." Ready Responses This proposal has found a ready response among American capitalists who are always looking for new fields to conquer. The American Consul at Aden, Arabia, in a report published by the Department of Commerce, headed: Ethiopia, a Land of Vast Lentite Wealth," writes: "Ethiopia, or Abyssinia, as the country was formerly known, is one of the few productive regions of Africa in which no modern development has taken place in recent years. The latent wealth of Ethiopia is undoubtedly enormous. Its soil is suitable for grain cultivation on a large scale and it has rich resources of rubber, coal, copper, silver, iron, gold, potash and milc. Wild coffee grows in abundance and only awaits scientific cultivation to make it an important factor in the world's coffee markets. "American cotton textiles used to dominate the Ethiopian market, but of late years they have given way to the cheaper Japanese goods. About a quarter of the Ethiopian textile imports come from Manchester, England. . . . It is probable that there are fifty million silver dollars in the country at present, most of which is hidden in the ground." Girl to Enter High School At 9 Years of Age TILDEN, NEB. May 17.—Vergie Lee James, eight-year-old pupil of a country school near here, expects to enter high school when she is 9. Vergie recently passed the State examination given for seventh and eighth grade pupils with an average grade of 56 per cent. Her teacher expects her to complete the nine subjects required for the eighth grade next year and be ready for high school at 9 years of age. Ball of Fire From Sky Explodes in Kansas City KANSAS CITY. May 17. A sputtering "ball of fire" roared out of the clouds and exploded near the General Hospital in South Kansas City shortly before midnight last night. The blast occurred so close to the ground that a patch of grass was burned. No trace of a meteor was found, except several small holes in a yard, the largest about two inches in diameter. The detonation was heard for several blocks and caused numerous telephone calls to police and fire departments.

Three hundred members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Division 414, Gulfport, Miss., and sister Division, and Negro citizens assembled in a solemn mass meeting, do humbly petition Your Excellency in the name of God to consider our request that by the power vested in you you release to us our leader, Marcus Garvey, from Atlanta penitentiary Cuba Cables Plea The following appeal was cabled on May 2 by the Guamabacon Division, Cuba, to President Coolidge: Hon. Calvin Coolidge, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir—As chief executive of the great Argonne Lands 350 U. S. Soldiers at Cortino, 500 More Dua in Few Days MANAGUA Nicaragua, May 20.—Reinforcements of 350 United States marines landed at Cortinto yesterday from the transport Argonne. About 500 more are to arrive in a day or so. Brigadier-General Logan Fieland, United States Marine Corps, reported the disarmament of the Nicaraguan soldiers was proceeding satisfactorily in accordance with the arrangement ending the civil warfare between the Liberal and Conservative factions. MEXICO CITY, May 20—Despatches from San Salvador were given out today by Pedro Zepeda, Liberal Nicaraguan representative in Mexico City, reporting that a battle in expected momentarily in Nicaragua between United States marines, recently ordered from Granada to Rivas, and a strong Liberal column which the marines intended to disarm. Zepeda also had word from San Salvador that 5,000 Liberals were hiding in the mountains, organizing an attack against Managua. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP OF HINDUS DISCUSSED From the Nation American citizenship for Hindus was the subject discussed at a dinner given for Senator Copeland recently for his sponsorship of the Hindu Citizenship Bill. Senator Copeland declared himself in favor of a change in the immigration law, having restrictions not on national or geographical quotas or on color but on the physical, mental, and moral qualifications of the immigrant. Hindus at present are refused citizenship in the United States because they are not white, although they claim membership in the Caucasian race. Theoretractive feature of the law is its worst aspect; naturalized Hindus who have believed themselves to be citizen and who have been so considered for more than ten years, in some cases, are now deprived of citizenship rights. Senator Copeland, in his fight for this bill, deserves the thanks of every American citizen. Whether or not the Hindu is a Caucasian is beside the point; he has proved to be a good citizen; there is no likelihood whatever that a rush of Hindus will come clamoring at our doors for admittance—if they did, our quota restrictions would take care of any such emergency. Those who do come—students, scholars, men and women of education or in earnest search of education should not be forced to maintain the status of all their lives. Above all, this government, which charges Mexico with breaking its word to American citizens domiciled there, should be the least to break its faith and word with men honestly admitted to citizenship years ago. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927 American Republic, four hundred Negroes, citizens of Cuba, humbly beg to petition you to release Marcus Garvey from Atlanta prison. In the name of the Father, Bon and Holy Ghost, we pray you grant our request. (Signed) W. W. TENNYSON, President.

Dean Emma Gillett, Noted Lawyer, Honored Women all over the country owe a debt to Dean Emma Gillett, for whom a memorial service was held in Washington on May 15. Born in Wisconsin of pioneer parents, she grew up under frontier conditions. During the Civil War she saw various professions opened to women—among them teaching, medicine, government positions and clerical work. She had been brought up on "Women's Rights" under the influence of a mother who was courageous enough to wear the famous "bloomer dress" and from early childhood she had nurped a desire to be a lawyer. When, after ten years of teaching school in Pennsylvania, she determined to put this youthful ambition into practice, she found that no white law school would admit her as a student. Nothing daunted by this she enrolled at the law school of Howard University, established for Negroes but to open all colors and races without distinction of sex. Here with two other white women, she completed her law course, was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia, and came to be recognized as an authority on the law of real property. Her services to women, however, lay mainly in her establishment of a women's law class which eventually became the Washington College of Law, open to men and women, with women members on the faculty, and a woman dean. Dr. Scott Says Education Is Hard to Dodge Now CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 17.—Getting an education nowadays is easier than avoiding one, in the opinion of Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. "It is becoming rather hard to dodge some sort of an education in the United States," said Dr. Scott, a speaker on the program of the American Association for Adult Education. He mentioned part time schools, libraries, clubs, night schools, Sunday schools, Chautauquas, lycceas, social settlements, books, newspapers, magazines, radio stations, motion pictures and commercial houses as contributing to the intellectual growth of the individual.

Death Penalty for Negro Saved from Arkansas Lynchers LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 19.—Lonnie Dixon, Negro, tonight was sentenced to die on the electric chair on June 24 for the murder of Flocilla McDonald, 12, on April 12. The jury was out less than ten minutes. The date for the electricution is Dixon's eighteenth birthday. Dixon told the court that he would waive the two days' grace customary before sentencing under Arkansas law. During the trial National Guardsmen placed the streets in front of the court house. Early in the day the courtroom was barred to spectators except those bearing passes, but in the afternoon Judge Abner McGhee threw open the court to its limit of seating capacity and late in the day there was an overflow back of the judge's bench. All were searched for concealed weapons as they went into the court-room. Police announced today that the three white men and two Negroes under arrest here will be charged with inciting to riot as a result of the agitation following the murder of Floella McDonald and the lynching of John Carter, a Negro, for an attack on two white women. The men were docketed today as suspects and were ordered held without bond. Two of the white men, E. J. Sutton and H. J. Becker, were arrested today. Ark Negroes Built Wouldn't Float in Flood MEMPHIS, Tenn. May 12.—Exhorted by their parson a community of Negroes in the lowlands near Parkin, Ark. emulated the example of Noah when they heard the flood was approaching and hastily built an "ark" into the crude vessel they crowded themselves and all their worldly belongings. Including chickens, dogs, cats and mules. While they waited for the flood they prayed and rejoiced. The flood came but the ark refused to float. Water poured in from a hundred leaks in the uncaused hull and with the flood a foot and a half deep on the floor of the flat bottomed craft its occupants fled to a railway embankment. News of the ark was received at Red Cross headquarters from relief workers. Gold Mines of Ophir Discovered in Arabia LONDON, May 12—The Queen of Sheba's gold and jewel mines, which were a big help in arraying Nolomon in all his glory, have been discovered and they still contain untold wealth of precious metal and rare gems, Commander C. Crattford said in a lecture at the Royal United Service Institution last night. The mines are in the long-lost land of Ophir, which Crattford said he had discovered after a twenty-year search 400 miles East of Eden in Arabia. He found Ophir and the mines by retraining steps of King Hiram when he set out to find the sources of the wealth of the great Queen. ar, or 'be lynched separately" AR LOWMAN and lynched in Aiken, South Carolina nic story that ever fell from the lips ly man ING, MAY 26, 1927 will play Dance Music until 3 A.M. ical Artists Unsurpassed -1- BOXES $6.00 to 6197 for Boxes Mayer S.

DESTROYER SHELLS CHINESE ON THE YANGTSE Destroyer Preble, Raked by Machine Guns on Yangtse, Return Shots, with Heavy Damage Reported as Consequence LONDON, May 23.—The American destroyer Preble was raked with Chinese machine guns on the Yangtse River Friday night, says a Shanghai dispatch to the "Daily Mall" and repiled with its main armaments. It is believed much damage was inflicted. This dispatch reports that Northern Chinese batteries bombarded Chinkiang, across the Yangtse, for two hours Sunday morning, most of the shells falling on the property of the Standard Oil Company. One tank is said to have been set afire. SHANGHAI, May 22.—The British Consul at Chinkiang has been withdrawn. All the archives of the consulate were also removed. Rear Admiral Tyrrwhitt, commander of the British naval forces in China, has arrived here. The Japanese destroyers Himoki and Yannagi were fired on at noon today off Kiangyin, 100 miles up the river, by Northerners from the left and Southerners from the right bank. The Yannagi replied and allied the attackers. Neither vessel was damaged. HANKOW, China. May 22.—Hefuguen continue flocking into the foreign concession area of this capital of the radical Nationalist Government, which last week seemed in danger of being encircled by the forces of its enemies. Apprehension among the people has been somewhat alleviated, however, by statements given out by the local government claiming military successes. These statements assert that General Feng Yu-hsang, military leader for the Hankow Government, has reached Hankow and that Marshal Wu Pel-fu has retreated to Chengchoo, whither Feng's forces are following him along the Lunghai Railway. It is further stated that the forces of the Hankow Government operating in Homan province are offered by Russians and that all the foreign military advisors of Marshal Wu Pel-fu have left him. Despite the reported successes and despite intimidation and threats of beheadings business here continues at a standstill. Merchants are refusing to accept the new issue of bank notes, while copper coins have vanished following the proposals of the authorities to withdraw them from circulation and issue money instead. The central executive council of the Kuomintang, the political organization of the Nationalists, has issued a manifesto pointing out that merchants, manufacturers, peasants and laborers are important factors in the Nationalist revolution. A CURE FOR CONCEIT Beautiful Japanese Girl, Whe Broke 100 Metre Record, Fleetcest Girl Runner in the World (From The New York Evening Journal) Miss Fumiko Terao, Japanese girl, recently broke the world's record for running in the 100-metre dash at Tokio. She is, with a safe margin, the fastest girl in the world—fast in the physical sense of swift running. Otherwise, you may be sure that brought up as good little Japanese girls are, she is as far from fast as a Philadelphia small, always respecting her ancestors and her good name. We of the white race, especially the so-called Anglo-Saxon tribe, only recently emerged from barbarianism, consider ourselves superior to all others. It may make us think for a moment, to look at this picture, of a wonderfully made little Japanese girl, looking like a beautiful piece of ivory carving, with a driving power in her head that makes of her the swiftest moving two-legged little female on the face of the globe. It is useful to encounter superiority in other races—helps to cure our coneil. A WHITE FIEND ATTEMPTS TO BURN A NEGRO ALIVE WASHINGTON, D. C.-James Monroe, a 38-year-old Negro of 1114 Bladensburg road, northwest, was knocked unconscious, saturated with gasoline and set afire by Martin V. Flaherty (white), a would-be one-man lyncher, of 1125 Eighth street, northeast, last night. One of the most dislobed attacks made in recent years was directed against a colored man in this city when Flaherty, becoming enraged because the Negro was in the vicinity, or, as the daily papers say, "lurking around" his garage, knocked Martin unconscious and attempted to burn him alive. When the white hand saw Monroe in the alley in the rear of 1125 Eighth street he felled him with a blow on the head, poured a quantity of gasoline on the alley but unconscious man, and dropped a lighted match into his clothing. A neighbor, seeing the flames, called the fire department, which extinguished the flames and carried Monroe to Gollinger Hospital, where his condition was said not to be serious. Pinkhert, who is 25 years old, was arrested and later released on $2,000 bond. THREE CENTURIES OF BRITISH RULE IN RICH GOLD COAST RESULTS IN ALARMING POVERTY OF NATIVES "Gold Coast Times" Stresses the Need for Sound Leadership So That the People Can Shape Their Destiny in Their Own Land SCIENTIFIC TRAINING OF NATIVES IS THE NEED Natives Only Produce for the British Market—Forced to Import Necessities Which Could Easily Be Manufactured in the Country—Deplorable Living Conditions (From The Gold Coast Times) In recent issues of this journal we have been dealing with the economic condition of our people and have been endowing to get them to know of the aspirations of the white man in Africa and the position which he would have the black man fill in world affairs. We have sought to impress upon them the futility of following blindly the leadership of the English administrator, and have indicated to them on broad lines the extent of the ground they have lost during the last three centuries in which they have associated It is our duty to continue to educate the minds of our people in this direction until they begin to realize the necessity of taking in hand the shaping of their own destiny. The people of this country have been living from day to day in the vain effort to improve their economic position and their general living conditions; and they have in the last few years been increasing their trade at a rate of expansion that could not have been conceived a decade ago. But the harder they work and the more they produce, the lower they sink economically. There must be factors responsible for this state of affairs while they should be traced long ago and rectified. But the weak trait in the character of the African is his lack of persistent mental effort; he does not, as a rule, often indulge in mental analysis, nor is he a diligent searcher after hidden truths. He finds certain phenomena in his environments which he could not comprehend, and instead of probing into them and getting at what he regards as the myterious and incomprehensible and submits to fate. The mentality of the people is in such a state that there would be no hope for the future of the race were it not for the fact that in the arrangement of human affairs there is always to be found a group of people who can see further ahead than the rest and who are the impelling force in upward movements. It is the few, the fugilemen, who will save the country and its people from foreign exploitation and lead them to a higher stage of existence. And may heaven endow them with wisdom and strength to realize more fully now than before their responsibilities to their countrymen and endeavor to discharge them faithfully. We are rather fortunate in being the inhabitants of a country with vast resources. The Gold Coast is much favored, for its agricultural and mineral wealth can hardly be surpassed by the resources of any other country, and its people ought to be among the wealthiest and most independent in the world. But with all these natural endowments the natives of the country are miserable because they derive very little or no advantage from their natural possessions. They are in the position of persons on whom large estates have been settled under a will but to which they have no access owing to the intrigues of men and things. It may sound romantic and incredible, but it is a fact that though gold, diamonds, cocoa, manganese timber and other products are being exported from the country through white agency in enormous quantities year by year, the natives are struggling against poverty and want under conditions which are almost imperceptible to all but the people themselves. Few white people among us will believe that the living conditions of the lower class of natives are such that people are dying owing to the lack of means of procuring good nourishment or even of securing medical aid in time of ill health; but if our white officials interest themselves in their life ing conditions and have any knowledge of the inner lives of the people they will find that it is so. They by day one can see people, especially the women-folk, walking placidly in the streets decently dressed, and at times even extravagantly attired. But that is not the true index to local prosperity. Our people are accustomed to keeping up their respectability even amid adverse circumstances, and they have a natural shrinking from advertising their poverty by outward appearances, even though it may be justly urged that they often do over it. It is often the case that the man or woman always well dressed is one of the miserable members of the community and belongs to the class who have to make a bitter struggle to keep the wolf from the door. The reason why our people live under the conditions described above in spite of their potential wealth in that they lack the means of approach—the training that will enable them to exploit their economic resources in advantage. They lack the educational institutions where the people can be trained in agriculture and in mineralogy and the other sciences that will make it possible for them to win gold and other minerals from the soil on a paying proposition, and to adopt a system of agriculture in which they can be producers and manufacturers to a certain extent. If the English had discharged their obligations militaristically our people should today be in a position to compete in the mining and allied industries successfully with white men instead of these becoming wholly white industries. If they had been true to us as friends and helpers we should not only be now exporting cocon but manufacturing it as well, which would have been the means of checking to some extent the marvelous fluctuations of the market to the disadvantage of the native producer. There is no reason why we should import all the soap we use in this country when we possess acres upon acres of palm trees. And is it not a shame that after three centuries' association with the English we still import all the milk, butter and cheese which we use when we have cattle and sheep in the country? Sugar cane is a product easy to cultivate in this country, and it is the product from which the best sugar is produced. We consume large quantities of sugar, every ounce of which has to be fetched overseas. Yet we have the raw material in the country. All this shows the valuable time we have lost by relying on the English administrators as philosophers and guides and the necessity for changing our attitude and beginning to lend for ourselves. We have got to rely upon our own efforts, solve our own problems and promote the advancement of our race. It is a big problem, and a thorny one also, too complex for the masses, but not so intricate for the few—the statesmen, the true leaders of the race. And, so far as we can see, the solution of this great problem, upon which the future of the race depends, lies in education. We need a school where we can give our young people a sound literary training combined with a sound training in arts and crafts. We require to develop a school on the model of that founded by that great African philanthropist, Dr. Booker T. Washington. We want a school like the Tugglegee Normal and Industrial Institute supported by African and their friends and controlled exclusively by African; and the day on which a school like this is established will be the occasion of the rebirth of the nation. It will be the portal through which our young people will pass from servitude to the land of promise; and when we have established such an institution, with a man of the qualities of Dr. Aggrery at the head, we shall have begun the progress to full manhood. It is the sphere where Dr. Aggrery will be in his element more than anywhere else; and with our knowledge of the faith that is in him and of his great influence in America we should have preferred to welcome him back into the country with such an enterprise in which he could find an ample scope to fulfill his mission to the race. But, as we have observed, it must be an institution supported by the people themselves, possibly with the assistance of those among our white friends who take a sincere interest in the race. But the control must be in the hands of the people and it should never be suffered to come under the blighting influence of the Government, which means that it must never get to the "assisted list." We have given the English Government three centuries in which to justify its trusteeship, and we think we have had enough experience of its attitude to learn the salutary lesson of paddling our own canoe.

MENG (Written in November, 1928) The Wanhsien Affair On September 15, 1926, a British gunboat bombarded Wanhsien, a town on an inland waterway of China, and destroyed 1,000 houses and killed as many as 1,000 inhabitants. For an unblessed statement of this affair, see "Wanhsien Clash Due to Old Rights," by Thomas F. Millard, New York Times, October 29, 1926. Massacre of Chinese Students During February, April and May, repeated strikes took place among the Chinese workers in Japan cotton mills. They complained of brutal treatment low wages, and had working conditions. These strikes occurred at Tsingtau and Shanghai. The most serious one broke out at Naigal Wata mills near Shanghai. The Japanese armed, and in firing on a crowd of workers killed one. On May 20, a parade of strikers and students demonstrated in the foreign quarter. An order to disperse was followed by a volley by the Sikh police and resulted in the loss of nine killed, and twenty wounded. Riots during the next three days brought the loss to twenty killed, and more wounded. Italian, British, and United States marines landed in Shanghai, June 2, and had the situation in hand by June 9. The immediate results of this affair were outbreak of riots, boycotts of European goods, and anti-foreign feeling. By June 5, 100,000 strikers were out in Shanghai, while even house servants in the British legation refused to work. The feeling against the British and Japanese was serious and widespread. Riots broke out at Swa@w, July 4, Canton, July 24, Nanking, July 31. At Hankow a British volunteer company fired and killed four Chinese on June 11. Such acts were promptly followed by a boycott of English goods, refusal to load and unload ships, or permit English ships in Canton. The loss sustained by Hongkong was over $1,000,000 a day. In Shanghai there was a strike for over ten weeks, while it was as effective in Hongkong and Amoy. On August 12, fatal riots occurred in Tientsin and Hongkong. The boycott was not only personal, for on July 15, the Chinese Government refused bids on English railroad material.

Ward, March 29, 1926. Illegal Arrest of Chinese In Cleveland The whole of "China Town" was arrested and put in jail on September 22, 1925, in Cleveland, Ohio. The police in that city were attempting to solve a murder case in that manner. Thousands of dollars of damage was done to the Chinese by this wholesale ar- rest which was found to be illegal. A full statement of this incident including comments by Cleveland newspapers will be found in "The Arrest of Chinese in Cleveland," the Chinese Students' Monthly, Volume XXI, page 33, No. 3.

(To be continued next week) Report on Native Labor In South Africa Union (From the Johannesburg Star, April 6) CAPETOWN—Commenting on native labor in the mines and in agriculture, Major Herbst, Secretary for Native Affairs, in the 1922-26 report published today says that in 1923 there was a small decrease compared with 1924 in the natives employed in the mines, the respective figures being 176.731 and 179.793. The supply shows extraordinary fluctuations, but, generally speaking, the supply of labor has been sufficient, and fortunately increased efficiency and the replacement of man-power by machinery has accompanied the increased gold output. As other industries are now active competitors in the native labor field various attempts have been made to stabilize the labor position. The most effective means was the adoption early in 1924 of a 270 shift contract for all recruited natives, a system which has succeeded in retaining over the period of acutest shortage many natives recruited in the most plentiful period. It has been laid down, says Major Herbat, that gold mines should rely for their labor upon natives from the Union and British South Africa, and should keep their complement of foreign labor from Portuguese territory within a fixed minimum quota. While the gold mining industry, with its established connection in the native, territories, was able to reduce its representation of native recruiting agents, there is a very large increase in the number of labor agents operating for the other industries and the mines will have to face increasing competition. Natal today is largely dependent upon the Cape for the unskilled labor required on its sugar plantations, and the Cape supplies many natives in the other provinces for agricultural labor. It is estimated that at least 60 percent of the available strength of Transkeian laborers are away at work under indenture. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927 Average Yankee Has Child's Mind, Doctor Asserts NEW YORK HOSTS Has man th MONTREAL, Quebec, May 12. "American people are hysterical, like their movies," asserted Dr. Lee Puriseau, hospital radiologist and professor of radiology of the University of Montreal, when he appeared today before the royal commission to investigate the Laurier Palace theatre disaster, in which seventy-eight children lost their lives, and to consider moving pictures generally. He declared himself opposed to children attending motion pictures because of the sexual excitement evoked, and the anti-physical and anti-payohical effects. He divided the films into three classes —educational, sexual and violent, and comics. The comics often send children into hysterics and have bad effects on the children's nervous system, was his opinion. The educational films might well be left for the schools. Asked if he did not agree that the children of the United States, who see a tremendous number of motion pictures, are physically and intellectually well developed for their years, Pariseau replied: "The American child is not well developed intellectually and the average American adult has the intelligence of a normal child." Funeral Was Given Charter Oak Tree There is one instance on record in which a tree was given a funeral. On an evening in 1856 the bells in the churches of Hartford, Conn., were tolling a dige. Flags and mourning streamers hid from view the shattered stump of a tree on the hillside while hundreds stood about with bared heads, says the Detroit News. Amid the crashing thunder of a fierce storm the mighty Charter Oak had fallen and the entire State of Connecticut was honoring its passing. There is little of which Connecticut is proud than its ancient charter, granted by Charles II., endowing the colony with liberties far exceeding those of the others. It was a stranger coincidence that this charter, which was hidden in an oak for safety's sake, bore the seal of a monarch who himself, years before, had taken refuge in a tree of the same variety. Visitors to the State Library at Hartford today may see a copy of the original charter. Its frame containing fragments of the celebrated oak. MANILA. May 12.—Prominent native Catholics meeting here today announced they are preparing to petition Pope Plus and Archbishop M. J. O'Doherty of Manila for a change in the policy of the church with reference to the selection of the higher church dignitaries of the islands. The churchmen said natives had felt a tendency toward discrimination against Filipinos in favor of Americans in the appointments. RY BALL ILLE IMENT New York Local BALL ROOM K Ave., N. Y. C.

Toote Says Mr. Garvey's Condition Is Unchanged —Casper Holstein, Back in Favor, Pledges Aid to Save Property NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, May 22.—An inspiring meeting was held here tonight by the New York Local, the members and their friends turning out in their thousands to receive the latest news about their chiefstain, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is reported to be in rapidly failing health in Atlanta penitentiary. Hon. Fred. A. Toote, acting President General, occupied the chair. He informed the anxious audience that there was no further news from the penitentiary in regard to Mr. Garvey's condition, and announced that preparations were being made to have the week of June 12-19 witness a monster demonstration in behalf of Marcus Garvey's release. In addition to Mr. Toote, speeches were delivered by Mr. Charles James and Vice President of the New York Local; Prof. S. R. Williams, Mrs. Sobers and Mr. Casper Holstein, President of the Virgin Islands' Congressional Council. The last named, who was introduced by Mr. Toote as a man who was demonstrating splendid liberality and unselfishness in assisting in saving Liberty Hall, received quite an ovation. In a next speech Mr. Holstein promised the members that he would continue to do all in his power to help preserve their property and said he asked for nothing but the execution of Negroes throughout the world if he, as had some time ago been hinted, attempted to do anything which would hue the interests of the membership or imperil their property. English Railway Bars Unlucky 13 The London and Northeastern Railway is abolishing the number 13 on its sleeping cars to suit the whim of nervous travelers. Every 13 is to be painted out forthwith and 14 substituted. an A being added to the number of the real 14 so that the sequence of the berths on the long Scottish express trains may not be further broken. An official of the road said to a London Daily Mail reporter: "Railway travelers are superstitious. We have found that quite a large section of the public dislikes the number. Travelers have arrived to catch the Scottish express and, finding that berth No. 13 has been reserved for them, have refused to occupy it." In many hotels and in some of the great liners the number 13 disappeared long ago. 12A being substituted in some cases. On the other hand, the demand for the so-called "unlucky" number, or multiples of it, has exceeded the available supply in some recent club sweepstakes. Cable Message Encircles The Globe in 8 Minutes COLUMBIA, Mo., May 14.—In a demonstration of modern news gathering and transmission at the United Press dinner here last night a cable message was flashed around the world in eight minutes, another was sent around South America in seven minutes and radio communications were established with scores of ships in the Atlantic and Pacific. The demonstration was witnessed by four hundred editors and their wives as the climax of Journalism Week at the University of Missouri. Cooperating with the United Press were the Commercial Cable Company, the Radio Corporation of America, All American Cables, Inc., the Commercial Pacific Cable Company, the Great Northern Telegraph Company and the Western Union. Turkish Women Ban "Demoralizing Gowns" CONSTANTINOPLE, May 17.—"Demoralizing European evening gowns" are to be shunned by Turkish women at the next big ball in Constantinople. Six hundred members of the Turkish Women's Union, holding a national styles conclave yesterday, solemnly pledged themselves to appear at the ball wearing a sort of skirted Tuxedo, instead of "demoralizing European evening gowns." A manifesto drawn up at the conclave urges the men to "boycott non-conformists," and begs the Government to back the union's proposal that all women should be required to adopt a model dress valued at about $5 so as to save the finances of the nation. "Women's morals and the country's finances," the manifesto declares, "are threatened by the orgy of extravagance following the introduction of European styles." NAPLES, May 17.—Mount Vesuvius was in eruption today, hurling jets of incandescent laplift 100 yards in the air at intervals of a minute, while eminous rumblings were heard from the crater. The increased activity of the ancient volcano is a seasonal occurrence, but observers were alarmed lost a rupture he torn in the southern base of the crater, in which case much damage was feared. Such a rupture was likely, Professor Malladra, director of the Vesuvius observatory, said. The intermittent streams of glassy lava pobbles shooting into the air from the crater made a brilliant display.

Woman, 103, Works On Birthday Mrs. Annie Sanders of 806 Columbus avenue, New York City, recently celebrated her 103d birthday by doing housework and chopping kindling bought from a neighborhood grocery. She told reporters she will live fifteen years more and that every day of those fifteen years she expects to chop her own kindling and do her own housework. She shares a three-room flat with Miss Mary Thomas, 75 years old, who makes a living taking in washing. Mrs. Sanders said yesterday she was born in Germany in a town six miles from Hamburg. She came to this country when she was 25 years old, she said, and had nothing to complain of except that she now is getting a little hard of hearing. She does not drink or smoke. Less of Birth Control, More Old Time Families DES MOINES, May 11. "Clergymen might engage less in denouncing birth control, and more in movements to better existing conditions in which old-time families will be possible," the Rev. Charles N. Lathrop, executive secretary of the Department of Christian Social Service in the Episcopal Church, said in an address today. He spoke at the National Conference of Social Service of the Protestant Episcopal Church in session here this week in conjunction with the National Conference of Social Work. Weifare Work in U. S. Costs 3 Billion a Year DES MOINES, Iowa, May 17.—Three billion dollars is expended in this country each year on welfare work. Dr. John A. Lapp of Chicago, president of the National Conference for Social Work, told delegates to the convention of social workers today. This sum, he said, was twice as much as expended for schools, and reflected the strides being made in America in social service. Dr. Lapp is one of the leaders in the movement to have the conference enter the International Social Service Congress at Paris next year. Airplane Employed For Walrus Hunting LENINGRAD. -Airplanes have been pressed into service to assist the walrus hunters who are now at work in the White Sea.

"Cantonese Party" a Mismomer Organization Formed by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Will Unite China—Justice and Equality to Obtain By TI-TSUN LI (In The Nation) The Kuomintang, or the Nationalist Party, was first organized, under a different name, in 1894 as a secret revolutionary society by the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Father of the Chinese Republic. This party was largely responsible for the success of the revolution of 1911. In the earlier days of the republic it was the most powerful political party in the country, controlling a majority of the seats in the first National Assembly. Because its political views were distasteful to President Yuan Shih-kal it was dissolved by a presidential mandate on November 4, 1913. In the summer of 1917 a large number of former Kuomintang M. P's rallied to the call of Dr. Sun to form a new government in Canton. By taking this step the Kuomintang Party has definitely identified itself with the Southern, or Cantonese, government. Hence the party is also referred to as the Cantonese Party—a very misleading name. The new government went through many trials and experiences—experiences which served to convince Dr. Sun and his associates that the revolution of 1911 had not done its work as thoroughly as it should have; that foreign oppression was stronger than ever; that the reactionary elements were still dominating national politics, and that consequently the Kuomintang Party should renew is former revolutionary activities. In pursuance of this new conviction Dr. Sun reorganized his party on a revolutionary basis in the first national party convention of the party, convened on January 21, 1924. The reorganized party has pledged itself to champion the cause of the people, that is to say, to liberate the country internally from control by the militarists and externally from the grip of the foreign powers. Using Canton as a base, the party began its military operations early in 1926. The campaign has been one of rapid and uninterrupted successes; and at the time of writing the Nationalist government is in control of Southern and Central China from Tibet to the Yellow Sea. It is only a question of time until the Nationalists will take Peking and thus unite China. We are now in a position to examine briefly the platform of the Kuomintang Party. Foremost among its foreign policies is the abrogation of the unequal treaties and the conclusion of new treaties on the principles of equality and reciprocity. Any nation which voluntarily relinquishes its special privileges in China will be treated as in actual fact a "most favored nation." As to foreign loans made to China, none will be repudiated excepting the few that are detrimental to the political and economic life of China or that were contracted by an irresponsible government for illegitimate purposes. All these measures are designed to free China from foreign domination. In the domestic policies of the Just take a dose. It is very pleasant, instantly that gain stops.

GARVEY'S ILLNESS AND PARDON Hon. Marcus Garvey. The fact that he has been in the hospital at the Federal prison in Atlanta should not be surprising to his host of followers and sympathizers. A person physically built as he is and suffering with chronic asthma, would feel the hurtful effects of confinement and lack of fresh air and outdoor exercises, and the special dieting necessary in such cases. And prison confinement has a depressing influence on the mentality of the strongest person and is reflected in more or less severity in his physical condition. It is very generally hoped, and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are laboring without ceasing, that Mr. Garvey may soon receive a pardon from the President and be restored to freedom and the conditions that make for health, and to the work which needs his directing force in person. But the way to shape events and to get the things most desired is to strive without ceasing in all ways to secure them. And that is the slogan of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in their efforts to secure executive clemency for Hon. Marcus Garvey. Let them persevere in the good work. GO AND SEE UNIVERSAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY EDUCATION is the dominating influence in modern civilization. Vast armies, as large as those Nxerxes led against the Greeks, avail nothing against superior intelligence in command and in the units that go to make up an army. In like manner a country may have priceless resources, as Liberia has, but if it has not the intelligence to develop them, they become a source of weakness rather than of strength. Plenty of giants, as in the case of Samson the Isrealite, waste their strength in hurtful ways rather than use it for their own good and that of those to whom they are related, and this is often the outcome of ignorance rather than of innate deprivacy. The Universal Negro Improvement Association recognizes that education is of paramount importance in carrying out the purposes of the association—Africa for the Africans and conservation of the social, civil and economic values of the Negro people for the Negro people, admittedly a great big program for a great big people. Universal Liberty University on the James River is of the first importance in the work of the association, and, as such, it is of the greatest importance that as many members as possible shall be interested in the success of the university. The second excursion from New York and intermediate points will go to Claremont, Va. where the school is located. Saturday night, May 28, and as many members as can do so should avail themselves of the opportunity to visit the university and see for themselves the splendid property and get a line at first hand on the good and necessary work planned for it. THE BRITISH IN CHINA RESTRAINED IN HIGH- HAND METHODS THE British government has been so long used to using the long arm and high hand in dealing with weaker nations and groups of people that it is diverting, to say the least, to watch it squirming in China because the Americans and Japanese have refused as of old time, to co-operate with it and sanction what it does. And the fear of the Russian Bear, which is active in China and other Asiatic states, acts as a restraining influence. Great Britain does not want any war in the Far East with Russia threatening trouble in the Near East, unless she has the sympathy and co-operation of the United States, Japan and France, and she has not got this, and is not likely to get it. Last week she showed signs of breaking away and going it alone, but if she does she will very probably find the United States, because of its interests in the Philippines, and Japan protesting and interfering because it is of the first importance to Japan that she maintain her decisive position of advantage in Asiatic affairs. The chances are that China will be left alone by the treaty powers to settle its domestic affairs, as it should be, but it is galling and humiliating to the British authorities to see their dominating interests in China dwindling away and their paramount interests in India threatened by the refusal of the powers to back them in their arrogance and aggression. The United States, Japan and Russia, without any working understanding, are holding the British Lion in restraint, and that is mighty interesting because true. WE WISH THE PEOPLE OF LIBERIA WELL CABLE dispatches announce that President C. D. B. King has been re-elected for a third term as president of the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa. He received a majority of 60,000, we are told, over Mr. F. J. Faulkner, a public-spirited citizen of the United States who went to Liberia as a young man with great ambition to serve the new country many years ago. The call to arms says: "This country is construed as an indolence of his economic, political and educational program recently adopted. Liberia is one since American interests started to grow rub- ber in the hinterland on a large scale. Already nearly 15,000 natives are employed clearing the forests and planting rubber. At Monrovia the government has opened a new general hospital, and is planning a modern electric lighting system. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, in spite of the treatment it has received at the hands of the King administration, wishes the people of Liberia prosperity and happiness, and we shall watch with interest the development of the new policy, with American interests controlling the affairs of the country, with the active sympathy of the King administration. "Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly." The fly accepted the invitation and did not go out any more, because the spider ate the fly. When white men get into a black country they usually eat it up, as far as the natives and their interests are concerned. We hope it may not be that way with Liberia and its people. WHY EUROPEANS ARE CROWDING AFRICANS AND ASIATICS HENEVER there are more mouths to feed and more backs to clothe in a family than there is enough food and clothing to suffice, a dangerous condition exists and if there shall be no relief forthcoming great suffering will be the outcome. It is that way even with nations. When they have more population than they can feed and clothe their statesmen seek outlets for the surplus. If they can find none a great upheaval among the people is probable. The pressure of consumption on production is at the bottom of all of the colonization schemes, past and present, from the wanderings from ancient Troy to the conquest of the Red Men of the Americans. Hungry people are just like hungry animals, in the disposition to seek abroad what they lack at home, and take what they want, if they have the strength, if the owners are not disposed to sell or give away that which is desired. And the disposition to take what you desire from others, when you are strong enough to do it, is just as strong in the mouse as in the lion, in the dog as in the man. The difference between a civilized person and a savage beast in this respect is not very great. In a crisis it disappears entirely. At bottom the white people of Europe are crowding upon the dark people of Asia and Africa because of unemployment, insufficient food and clothing to go round. France, Spain and Italy are notoriously in the colonization business on this account, except in the case of France, which has a failing population and declining birth rate, which must be made good by taking over and absorbing alien races when possible, but her efforts in this respect have not been crowned with any appreciable success, especially in Morocco, where, after all of the best laid plans, the natives projected a long and fierce war under Ab-del-Krim and upset everything. From another angle, the like misfortune overtook the colonization schemes of Spain in North Africa. The friendly mission of Italians, headed by the Duke of the Abruzzi, now in Abyssinia, bodes no good to the Abyssinians, 40,000 of whom King Menelik slew in the battle of Adowah, which is still a thorn in the pride of the Italians. The mission is seeking lands and concession in Abyssinia, and if given a foothold will finish by getting control of the country. The Abyssinians will be wise if they sense the mission in this way. The Israelites had a saying that "You can't trust the Greeks even when they come bearing gifts. The Red Men of the Americas, the Brown Men of Asia and the Black Men of Africa have found to their sorrow and eternal hurt that the same rule holds in their dealings with Europeans and Americans. It was brought out at the recent meeting of the industry commission of the International Economic Conference at Geneva, that "upwards of 20,000,000 people are now unemployed in Europe, most of them with no chance of absorption into the present economic structure, unless that structure changes." "Unemployment is our chief problem in Europe," was the general opinion of the conferences. That is to say, Europe today has 20,000,000 more mouths to feed and backs to clothes than it has food and clothing for. It is estimated that every family contains five dependent non-wage earning members. If this holds good, then Europe has 100,000,000 people who need food and clothing in greater or less degree. This makes a very dangerous condition for the States concerned to deal with. It makes every government in Europe insecure, menaced by unrest and upheaval, and that is the condition in which all European governments find themselves in and which constrains their rulers to seek an outlet of the population in Asia and Africa. Now, the awful thing about the disposition of Europeans to take the lands, liberty and labor of the people of Asia and Africa in order to feed and clothes their people is that the people they rob and exploit must have food and clothing also. A crisis is being reached, and unrest and upheaval are present everywhere. Hungry people like hungry animals, become desperate. WHAT MAKES A FIRST-CLASS NATION? By AMY JACQUES GARVEY All ambitious youths hope some day to have a home of their own and to become prosperous. The feeling of independence and the desire to direct one's own life is natural, and assets itself as maturity approaches. Even so all self-respecting groups of humanity long for the day when they will be able to direct their own affairs in their own homeland, and rise to the pinnacle of greatness and achievement. It matters not whether their selfish guardians think them competent or not, independence is a natural growth that cannot be permanently suppressed. It is bound to find an outlet somehow, and gathers greater force when impeded. Love of home and love of country are two great urges that cause men to give up their lives gladly in defense and protection. It is the right to possession, occupation and use that makes him love it and want to hold it inviolate against all intruders. The glorious privilege of saying, "This is mine" causes them to hurt themselves on cannons and suffer untold hardships. What matters as long as they rout the invaders? This is the hidden force that is causing the terming millions of China to fight like hell cats in their cruisade of "China for the Chinese." Their ambitions are not only confined to ruling their own country, but they demand an equal status among the world's millions. The prospects of which we quote as follows from Mr. Arthur Brisbane, the highest paid editor in America: "She will have life in time, and possibly more than an equal status. With modern science keeping alive the three or four out of five children that used to die, and modern decency preventing the drowning of girl babies, China's population may soon rise above a billion, overflowing Western lands, as the Minaisalapi waters overflow the lowlands. "A billion Chinese, indifferent to death, with a fleet of fifty thousand flying machines, which they could easily build, led by Russian or Japanese officers, might quickly change the status of the world's nations. "But, first of all, China must learn to fight outside her own boundaries. Only after Japan had beaten Russia did the Japanese take their place as a first-class nation." The concluding statement is really a surprising one, coming from the pen of a white writer. He admits that China must defeat another nation before she will be recognised "as a first-class nation." This is the mental attitude of white men, individually and nationally—if you are an equal, then show it by giving someone a good licking. He worships force and appeals to conscience and ethics, only evoke his contempt; but hit him hard, make him lick the dust, and when he rises he will grasp your hand with admiration and say "Brother." A first-class nation, in this age, must be able to protect itself at a moment's notice, and keep alight with all other nations in the acquirement of all devices for such protection, an civilized man only fears force. Such nations in the making must be made up of men and women who are not afraid to die, and whose brains must be ever busy deviling methods and means of protection, and the striking of the blow for recognition. He must serve others in their own coin, and speak to them in a language they will understand. No other effort will be effective. By DR, M. ALICE AGGERSCH, Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Summer Disease and Their Prevention There are certain diseases which we commonly associate with warm weather. These fall into two groups—those associated with symptoms of the stomach and intestines, and those transmitted by insects. In the first group are typhoid fever, dysentery and the diseases due to the eating of spoiled food. Malaria is the most frequent complaint of the second group. With proper attention to the care of food and the kind of food we can we can do much to save ourselves from diseases of the first group. Of course, babies form the largest group of sufferers from "summer complaint." The germs which cause this trouble are usually found in milk and multiply if the milk is not kept cold. That is one reason it is very important to keep milk in clean, cool refrigerators. Water may also transmit dysentery. This is a serious problem in the country where the water supply comes from a doubtful source. All people who spend vacations in the country should make certain that they are getting pure, wholesome water, and not just water that "looks clean." Typhoid is also carried in water. During the summer we should be particularly careful not to eat fruit which is over-zipe, or food which is spoiled or on the verge of spoiling. The germs which cause the decay in the food are the germs which frequently cause stomach or intestinal trouble, so we should be sure all fruits and vegetables we eat are fresh and good. Try to avoid mosquito bites. Malaria is carried by a certain type of mosquito which is found along the Hudson and on Long Island. If we all help eradicate mosquitoes, by killing all we see, and by being careful not to have cans or pools of stagnant water left around for them to breed in, we may help to eradicate this disease. It was a great day at Little Rock Ark, when five thousand white people men, women and children, participated in the lynching of a Negro in that city a few days ago. It was horrible. Yes, beyond description. Just imagine a poor helpless human being, after being strangled and shot to death, with rope still about his neck, tied to an auto and dragged through the main street of the city several times, leaving blood stains and fragments of flesh in the wake, while thousand followed crying and screaming for fire! fire! As the leaders heard their cry for fire, the suggestion was made to go to the Negro section and have the climax. Having reached the desired spot, coal oil, gasoline and other inflammable substances were brought into play, and a bonfire hastily consumed the helpless body which had been strangled, shot nearly fifty times and dragged several blocks through the streets. It was a wonderful sight to see where women and children hopping around in flandish glee, not to be excused for any heathens in their worship of idol gods. Even women with babies in their arms and those expecting to become mothers were participants in this festival of racial hate. Wonderful yes, one can't help wondering what manner of people they be. Surely the heathens of the darkest continent would blush if such a sight were possible in their land. Wonder, yes, we wonder if Little Rock, like many other so-called Christian communities in America, could rank with Sodom and Gomorrah, the wicked cities of old. And while we believe in a just God, yet we feel sometimes like the Psalmist, "Sincerely, I've cleansed my heart in vain." St. Louis Argus. It is our belief that no two agencies are more powerful in befitting about a betterment of conditions in all things relative to the public good than the pulpit and the press. Between these two there should exist the most cordial and sincere co-operation. There is no denying that the colored minister holds a greater influence over his people than any class. He is recognized as representing the leadership of his people, not only in things religious but in secular matters also. Whether this latter is desirable in a matter of opinion, but it does not remove the fact. The Negro press is growing each year in power and influence in molding sentiment, not only among our people but those of other races as well. It is playing a great part in building up that element in which Negroes are lacking—race consciousness—and instilling into them a knowledge and appreciation of their own efforts. It brings to the home of the black man not only the academia in his existence as a material part of his country's citizenry, but in telling him of the accomplishments and worthy efforts of his people he is also allowed to bask in the sunlight, from which he takes new hope and greater aspiration.—Charleston Messenger. EVOLUTION WINS AND LOSES A movement to enlarge the "Flying Fundamentalists" of Kansas has been endorsed by the World's Christian Fundamentalists Association in convention at Atlanta, Ga., the purpose being to back the Kansans in their program "to mould sentiment against the evolutionary hypothesis and get voters to a place where they will express themselves through the ballot as the Fundamentalists wish." At the same time the Board of Education of Chattanooga, after a stormy debate, voted 3 to 2 to discontinue the reading of the Bible in the Chattanooga school. "Wasu" Down at Little Rock Pulpit and Press THROUGH BLACK SPECTACLES Garvey Must Be Freed! The biggest item on the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time is the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey from Atlanta prison. Broken in health, his physical stamina impaired by the rigors of prison life, Garvey, the mental giant, smiles through an unpleasant environment, consoled only by the knowledge that "Truth crushod to earth shall rise again." But what of us for whom he so cheerfully suffers, yes, for whom he would gladly die a million times! Are we one with him in spirit and in truth? Are we appreciative of his unselfish leadership? Let our answer be known in the efforts we exercise to free him from a prisoner's lot. Every minute is precious, every hour dear. Sacco and Vansett do not mean much to our civilization, but an intelligent white humanity clamors for justice in their behalf, arousing the serious attention of the world. Earl Carroll of New York is only a show producer—close up the theatres and civilization marches on just the name—nevertheless powerful influence is being brought to bear on President Coolidge to grant executive clemency to Mr. Carroll, who collapsed on his way to Atlanta prison and is now recuperating in a hospital in Greenville. S. C. To return Sacco and Vansett and Earl Carroll to the freedom of society would not enhance the adjustment of race relationship, that seemingly incurable cancer whose shadow is the shadows of war. Are we to believe that justice has one meaning for the white man and another for the Negro Rev: A. G. Ellenburg of the Cleveland division sings with deep religious fervor: "Must Garvey bear the cross alone. And all the world go free!" No, there's a cross for every one. And there's a cross for me." Let this message belt the globe and take root in the soul of every black man who wants freedom from alien aggression. Let us carry our own cross as well as bear the cross with Garvey. The hour has come for us to demand the unconditional release of Marcus Garvey with one united voice, and ostracize from our companionship all those who are otherwise disposed. Let it ring clear and plain in the ears of our white bosses and employers, our press, our pupils, our community leaders, our family circle and our friends. Let our demand for Garvey's release take the form of a White House nightmare from which there shall be no rest until our leader is free. "The West African Students' Union," says the Hon. E. O. Asafu-Adjaye, B. A., L. L. B., President, "has it as a principal plank in its platform to create a healthy national sentiment throughout the whole of West Africa and in every department of her life, and, in order that that object might be better attained, a quarterly magazine called "Wasu" was founded by the union in the early part of this year (1926). I have spoken of nationalism in connection with West Africa, and I wish to make myself clear. We in West Africa have far-reaching responsibilities in regard to the future of Africa. Taken in the bulk, one cannot doubt that there is more knowledge, more general advance, more material progress, and withal, more happiness in West Africa than can be found in either the East or the South. But though, as West Africans, our immediate interests are not the affairs of East and South, although Africa is as vast as the whole of Europe, India, and China, and the United States thrown together, yet the larger future of Africa can be read in the light of West African progress and prosperity. . . . If Africans are to survive, West Africa must become a nation; it must unite under the sentiment of national progress. To achieve this is one of the aims of our union, and to help to realize it is the purpose of "Wasu." (Extract from Wasu.) Paths to Peace J. B. Danquah, Eqq., B. A., L. L. B., in a masterly review of "Paths to World Peace," by Bolton C. Waller, B. A., philosophises thus in "Wasu": "But whatever be the ultimate constitution of the League of Nations, a perusal of Mr. Waller's book leaves one abiding impression upon the mind of the reader; and that is that "this foundamental need in the establishment of a better world is simply better men." "Of clever men the world has plenty." What the world needs are "men of wisdom," men who can be trusted." No world society can be built by the narrow-minded and the purely self-seeking. Liberty and equality are important, but fraternity is still more important, and indeed the very basis of any society, national or international. The fraternity for which the world is seeking today is not to be found in political measures hatched in the adventurous atmosphere of a party cause, but in a change or revolution in the character of men." Civilization in West Africa This is taken from an address on "The Introduction of Civilization Into West Africa," by W. F. Hutchison, delivered to the Society Internationale de Philologie, Sciences et Beaux Arts, Gordon Square, London, W. C. I, and reproduced in "Waza." "When the pioneers of the European intrusion arrived on the scene the inhabitants of West Africa had developed socially in accordance with their temperament and environment, almost untouched by outside influences. They were at about the same stage of social evolution as the peoples of Northern Europe when the Romana first came into contact with them. These were large kingdoms on the Congo and in the interior. A German explorer, Frobenius, writes of "the . . . Bassongo; . . . one of those rare nations of the African interior which can be classed with the most aesthetic and skilled, most discreet and intelligent to all those known to us as the so-called natural races. Before the Arabic and European invasion they did not dwell in hamlets, but in towns of 20,000 to 30,000 inhabitants, whose highways were shaded by avenues of palms planted at regular intervals and laid out with the symmetry of colonades. Their pottery would be fertile in suggestion to every art craftsman in Europe. Their weapons of iron were so perfectly fashioned that no industrial art from abroad could improve upon their workmanship. The iron blades were comingly ornamented with damascened copper and the hills artistically inflated with the same metal. Moreover, they were most industrious and capable husbandmen, whose careful tilling of the suburbs made them able competitors of any gardener in Europe. Their sexual and parental relations evidenced an amount of tact and delicacy of feeling unsurpassed among ourselves, either in the simplicity of the country or the refinements of the town. . . . The commerce of these hations ebbed and flowed along a road of unknown age . . . about six hundred miles in length. This highway was only destroyed by the "missimaries of civilization" from Arabia towards the close of the eighteenth century."

H. Andrews, the secretary of the South African Trade Union Congress, and Mr. C. F. Glass, the secretary of the Witwaterrand Tallora Association, whose recent speeches to natives led to many questions in the House of Assembly, are quite unrepentant. When Mr. Roydell was asked whether he, as Minister of Labor, thought it fair to appoint a man like Mr. Andrews to a conciliation board, in view of the speeches in question, the Minister asked whether there was any guarantee that the words complained of were used, and added that he could not accept the word of Mr. Jagger or newspaper reports that such speeches were actually made. In view of this declaration, the question now asked is: What attitude will the Minister of Labor now take up. One of the extracts of a speech made by Mr. Andrews to natives and quoted in the House yesterday was as follows: "Build on your organization, irrespective of prejudices, so as to take possession of this country—I am now speaking to all workers, white, black and colored—as the Russians have of their country, and as the Chinese are endowing to do; and for the first time in history you will be able to enjoy the full fruits of your labor." Mr. Glass was reported to have told the natives "that freedom could be won by doing what the Russians had done and what the Chinese were doing." In an interview today Mr. Andrews said: "First of all, the whole thing arose as a result of a report of a meeting called by the I. C. U. to protest against the Native Administration Bill introduced by the Minister of Native Affairs. Mr. Glass and myself were asked to address the meeting, and did so in our private capacity. That particular extract from my speech is not strictly accurate. I don't remember to have used the expression 'To take possession of the country.' Otherwise the statement is substantially correct, and is merely the stereotyped peoration of nine-tenths of Labor and Socialistic speeches heard in this and other countries, that is to say, that the workers must unite in labor and other industrial organizations for the purpose of taking control of the machinery of government and of the country.

One cannot possibly exclude any class of worker in such an appeal. The Labor constitution is based on the Socialistic objective. This must mean taking control of the government of the country by the workers, or it means nothing. "I fail to see what the fuss is about. This policy has been advocated and propagated at thousands of meetings in this and other countries during the last 20 or 30 years. There is nothing new in it. "The reference to China and Russia were incidental. No Incitement to Rebellion "An attempt has been made to read into my statements an incitement for the natives to rise up in rebellion against the Europeans. This is utterly absurd and untrue. If there is one thing more than another which is calculated to remove any possible danger of such a coalingency that is a frank recognition of the right of the native and colored as well as the European worker to combine industrially and politically for his own protection and advancement. This is what we advocated." "On the contrary, a policy of repression and prevention, or hampering the natives in their efforts to organize in trade unions or political associations which is being made by many of our critics, is calculated to bring about the very evils which they falsely accuse us of advocating. "Every speaker I have heard addressing the natives has emphasized the absolute futility of the natives contemplating anything in the nature of an armed uprising or violence of any description, which point is always applauded and appreciated by the native audiences. "If there is any danger of such a calamity it is much more likely to arise from that section of the press and politicians which has in season and out of season attempted to arouse the passions and prejudices of the white workers against natives, and vice versa." "If one could be sure that section 26 of the Native Administration Bill will be put into operation against such newspaper articles and publicists these one might be inclined to think that the Bill will serve a useful purpose. 'I have no intention of ceasing to advocate the organization of natives and colored as well as white workers industrially, believing that no final so- L LIBERTY ERSITY SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY!

S. A. lution of the labor problem in this or any other country can be arrived at by any other method." Mr. Glass Unrepentant Replying to the Parliamentary criticism of his speeches, Mr. C. F. Glass remarked in an interview recently: "If, as it has repeatedly been said by both the press and some members of Parliament, the propaganda I have been carrying on amongst natives is foolish and ill-advised, then there is no need for the powers that be to fear it, and it is not likely to have any ill effects. If, on the other hand, the propaganda is based on the facts of the situation concerning the natives, then it is advisable that the natives should hear what I have to say. "To the argument that is used that trade union propaganda amongst natives is apt to be misunderstood and misconstructed, my only reply is that if such is the case then it will be necessary for the Government to adopt the procedure which was observed in Britain in 'comparatively; ancient times and establish a Star Chamber for the purpose of censoring both the written and printed word which the Government may consider dangerous to peace and good order. But to that sort of thing there is no end. A censorship will be required equally in the case of Europeans as it would be in the case of natives, for amongst Europeans ignorant types are to be found in probably the same proportion as they are found amongst natives. The net result of this would be that no one would be safe. No one would be free to express his opinions, and no one would have the right to write or read any literature which, in the opinion of the Government of the day, might prove to be subversive to 'law and order.' "I am unrepentant of the speeches I made. I adhere to the remarks I have made to the native audiences at various times, and I hold that I am fully as entitled to speak on trade union matters to native or colored trade unionists as I am to European trade unionists. "In this connection some members of the Government who are sponsoring the sedition clause of the Native Administration Bill would be well advised to reflect on their own conduct from 1914 onward, when they will find that they have been guilty of seditious and peace-disturring utterances to a greater degree than any European trade unionist who from time to time deems it expedient to speak to his fellow trade unionists in the non-European movement on matters affecting their welfare. "So far as I am concerned I shall consistently fight any attempt on the part of any government to pass legislation which in any way interferes with the rights of free speech. This is an elementary right of all citizens and it is impossible to draw a line of demarcation in this respect between Europeans and non-Europeans. "If the natives are ignorant and are therefore likely to misunderstand ordinary trade union propaganda, then it is the plain duty of the Government to provide educational facilities for them with a view to obliterating this difficulty. "In my opinion Section 26 of the Native Administration Bill is aimed at preventing the legitimate organization of the native workers in South Africa, and that the sponsors of the bill are merely supporting it with the desire to keep the native in a state of perpetual helotage."

Sacco-Vanzetti Petitioners Number Many Thousands Especially noteworthy because of the important signatures attached, was one petition circulated by the American Civil Liberties Union and forwarded to the governor last week. It urged a review of the case on five grounds: That widespread belief in the innocence of the two accused make such reassurance to the popular mind necessary; that a confusion of issues existed at the trial as between the political radicalism of the accused and the charge of murder against them; that new evidence has been adduced since the trial; that the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, in passing on the case, weighed only the question of errors of procedure; and that an exercise of executive discretion in this case would therefore protect the state judiciary against "loss of prestige and confidence." The list of signers comprised leading educators, lawyers, clergymen, writers and editors, including two bishops and three college presidents. Among the signers were United States Senator Gerald D. Nye, Will Durant, author of "Story of Philosophy"; Edgar Lee Masters, poet; Harry Emerson Fosdick, clergyman; Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Percy Mackaye, playwright; and Ernest Poole, author. Many colleges and universities both east and west were represented among the signatures. All Russian Workers Pensioned at 52 MOSCOW.—At the age of 52 a person's useful life is officially finished in the Soviet Union. So says the State insurance and social pension statute, which makes workers eligible for a state pension when they have passed their fifty-second birthday. If they have already completed at least seven years of work. The pension applies to workers of every kind. Every employer, whether a housewife hiring a servant or the state employing thousands of office workers and factory hands, must pay a monthly social insurance, premium ranging upward from 16 per cent of the salary each month. The so-called old age pension becoming effective at the age of 52 applies to everybody who earns a wage. The pension is calculated on the salary earned in the last year.

Dobbed hair and still shorter hair makes the elimination of dandruff a further necessity. Yet some people who have dandruff hair with are simple matters. Here is a method which has helped thousands of others: First a cleaning, exhilating shampoo, and drying the hair with a plaster drying, followed by a liberal application of snowy-pure hair dressing. (As the creator of Golden Broom Soap and Hair Dressing I know what they will do to dandruff, unrouted hair. Ask your drugsist about them.) Too early baldness often is caused by dandruff, which can be helped by following the above treatment regularly. Even if you have dandruff, your hair should be enlarged by finger massages. The massage quickens blood circulation. Then the hair roots are nourished. The hair grows thicker, healthier. Just a little more massage helps these help create hair longevity. After you have tried my method for ridding the hair of dandruff, if you want more information just write me, care of Golden Brown Chemical Co., Memphis, Tex. and I'll gladly answer your letter.

The affair was held at the committee's headquarters, 203 West 126th street. Mrs. Hayford, who has been in America for several months in the interest of her work among young African girls, has spoken before a great many gatherings in this country, including women's clubs, schools, the Horace Mann School, colleges and other representative groups.

"I know you will all want to hear something about the native African woman," said Mrs. Hayford. "She is strong and robust because she lives a simple, healthy, natural life. She is courageous and resourceful in times of trouble. She lives outdoors most of the time—Africans go into their huts only to sleep. In the morning when she gets up she eats a simple meal of food similar to corn meal mush and some fruit. Then at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the family has its main meal of the day, consisting of rice, fish and palm oil.

"But, on the contrary, you will find there some of the finest examples of beautiful family life seen anywhere. You will find unselfish interest in the welfare of the community. "For example, if there is a wedding the whole community assists in the preparations. If there is a funeral every one helps with this. If you are hungry and have no food you may go to your neighbor's field or orchard and eat your fill." Mrs. Hayford told of the poetry and romance of the country's folk-lore, which is handed down from father to son. She described a native African wooling with its poetic beauty. She told of other native customs. "My work is to get the women of the country to preserve these customs and all the native beauty of the African race," Mrs. Hayford said. "I want them to see that they have a contribution for the world, and to help them keep that contribution, so that civilization will not destroy it." After Mrs. Hayford's talk tea was served. A committee was appointed to take charge arrangements for the celebration of the Harlem Committee's fifth anniversary this summer. Mrs. Augusta Corbin was elected chairman; Mrs. Oma Price, vice-chairman; Mrs. Elae Gibba, secretary, and Mrs. Luclen Brown, treasurer.

Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, reported that the situation had been relieved by the transfer of 5,300 urban workers to the agricultural colonies. Unemployment, he declared, could be entirely relieved if the pledges made by Americans for Palestine help were forthcoming at once. This would make possible the removal of more unemployment to the farm colonies, which are ready to absorb several thousand additional workers.

To insure prompt publication, matter must be typed or plainly written on one side of the paper. Make your reports smappy and interesting by emitting all unimportant details.—EDITOR. KINGSTON, JAMAICA This division has recently added two new ones to its many activities. The one, the Garvey (Social) Club is about a month old and is progressing very favorably. The objects of the club are to promote social intercourse among members of the race by means of games, outings, debates, literature, etc, and any others the members may deem fit and proper to employ to encourage it-by mutual dealings in sport or business among them; and also to discourage the tendency among the race to forsake the society of their own kith and kin for the association of those who despise and detect them in private, whatever to the contrary they may say or do in public. It is admitted that there is abundant need for a club of this kind among us here, and as a recruiting ground for members of the U. N. J. A. there could be no better plan. The club is open to any and all members of the race. It is called the Garvey Club in honor of our redoubtable leader, the Hon. Murcus Garvey. It is pleasing to record that already the majority of the members are children whom we make hold to say will develop into staunch and sturdy Garveyites. Our other latest adjunct is a life and drum corps for the Juveniles, selected from the "Scouts and Guides." To Mr. Alten and Mr. Burton must be given credit for the establishment of this attraction. The services of a good trainer of the youngsters have been secured, and it is expected that on the next camp out of our Scouts they will be accompanied by a band to cheer them in their hikes and at their camp fire entertainments. To help in the procuring of the instruments for a well-ordered band a high-class variety concert was staged on Wednesday evening, May 4, and a capital time was spent by both entertainers and entertained. Everybody did his best at whatever was undertaken for the pleasure of our guests, and under the chairmanship of the executive secretary, Mr. A. J. Lecone, a well-balanced though lengthy program was rendered, with sustained interest throughout and many encores. Mrs. Jones was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for the time and devotion she must have expended in getting up such an excellent program of drills, dances, musical and vocal solos, farces, etc., and she has well earned the title of godmother of the Division. The children are to be congratulated on the aptness they showed on the stage, and it is to be hoped that our coming May Fair will be as successful in the way of providing us as much enjoyment as we saw manifested at this concert.

By Order HON. FRED A. TOOTE Acting President General London Zoo Monkeys Teach Table Manners LONDON.—When the London zoos sees a chance of giving an object lesson to visitors, it is promptly taken. The latest effort is to take the form of hints on elquette provided by a group of chimpanzees, and when the warm weather comes the demonstration will be in full swing at tea time each day. A special tearoom on a raised platform and covered with netting is to be erected. Into this enclosure the keeper will introduce the four demonstrators of table manners—Jack, Jimmy, Clarence and little Bibi. Then Jack, senior ape of the party, takes command. They already are perfect in this little social function, and this is what happens: Jack leads Bibi (who is a little girl monkey) to her stool and sees that she is perched there safely. Jimmy and Clarence then seat themselves with easy self-possession whereupon Jack takes the head of the table. Next he passes a mug to Bibl sees the rest of the party well started and attends to his own thirst. Fruit salad follows. Jack hands the dish to Bibl and then looks after the other two. The breaking up of the tea party follows the loftiest traditions of Lord Chesterfield. Expelled for 99 Years From Cincinnati Division This is to inform the Negroes of the world that one Mr. P. E.

Spaniards Have "Bootleg" Dances in France BIARRITZ.—Spanishards swarm across the French border to practice the Charleston and Black Bottom at resorts along the Barque coast. Queen Ena of Spain has taboned both dances. Consequently the "best people" do not do them in Spain except in private gatherings, especially if they think there is any danger that the court circles may hear they have been using the forbidden steps. In Spain, too, there is so much prejudice against women dancing with men to whom they are not engaged or married that the younger element motors whenever possible to the freer atmosphere of French resorts. More than 200,000 ostriches have been slaughtered in South Africa because of the scarcity of the demand of the plume market.

It is a purely feminine enterprise. On this occasion the Swiss woman for the first time in history will step into the limelight and show what she is doing as housewife, as professional and as business.woman. She will exhibit the kind of occupation that keeps her busy year in and year out, whether in the family, in matters of education, in the shop and office or in welfare work, and will show what her education and training, her place in the scheme of things and her successes have been up to now. The exposition is intended to open up new fields of activity for Swiss women by showing all the women what the most progressive of their sex are doing. An appeal sent out to the women of Switzerland of every class and creed, to housewives, society women, peasants, working women, art and crafts women, teachers, nurses and business women and every other category asking them to take part in the exposition has been met with universal approval.

Ex-Khedive of Egypt Sues for $15,000,000 CONSTANTINOPLE, May 11. What is known as the fifteen-million-dollar case began here today before the British-Turkish mixed arbitral tribunal. Abbas Himil Pasha, former Khedive of Egypt, at the outbreak of the world war, had all his possessions in Egypt seized by the British Government. Later all his property was sold. The former Khedive since has become a Turkish subject, and as such he now is suing the British Government for $15,000,000, which he alleges is the amount of the loss he has suffered. The British Government contends the mixed arbitral tribunal, which was established by the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne, is in impertent to hear the case. Many brilliant lawyers have arrived for the case which, owing to the vast amount of money involved, has created enormous interest in Turkey and elsewhere. The former Khedive still is a rich man, owning valuable estates in Turkey, where he spends much of his time.

Box 12, Vanek R Spanish Section por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 142 West 180th St. Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUERDA, Editor El honorable Marcus Garvey no debe morir en la prisión de Atlanta. Recurriendo a nuestro elemento para que redoble sus esfuerzos en pro de la libertad del gran leader. Su estado de salud es afectado por la dureza de la prisión. Las noticias recientes que vienen de la penitenciaria de Atlanta son muy desconsoladoras. El estado físico en que se encuentra el Hon. Marcus Garvey, indica que su estado de salud va de mal en peor, debido ello a las durezas y restricciones que impone su confinamiento en su celda de prisonero. Marcus Garvey retiene intacto su equipo mental y su indomable voluntad, así como su poder civico estan todavía a su servicio. Pero lo armazón, es de cir, el todo corporeo que encuadra el maravilloso mecanismo de idea y acción, a seo, ese don de Dios que distingue al famoso leader; la urna donde se aloja el espiritu batallador del gran martir, se esta calcomiendo y esta expuesta a destruirse y convertirse en polvo, si a su tiempo debido no se le ponen los puntales necessarios para guarnecer el hermoso edificio, do habita su alma y se enseñorea su espiritu profético, do descansa su gran visión de hombre porvenir. Aquellos que han podido observar de muy cerca al Hon. Garvey y ser testigos de su tremenda capacidad y ruda labor, para percibirse cuan poco importa a este hombre las punzadas del camino espinoso atravieza; y los hemos podido notar la variedad de esfuerzos que este gran hombre ha podido reunir en su pasmosa y larga obra civica, no hemos podido menos que maravillarnos del ardor y energias desplegadas por el, así como el gran poder de su genio para laborar en un terreno tan escabroso, removiendo obstáculos de atavismo ancestral, consiguiendo sembrar una cimiente buena que brote y rinda ópimos frutos para su humanidad, para su raza. Muchos han contemplado con admiración y envidia la aparente perfección de su maquinaria física, la cual alimentada por una reserva de energías inextinguibles, produjo y produce una cantidad de trabajo enorme. Pero también es de advertir que muy poco se sabe o se ha sabido, que para tal producción, para tal desarrollo de energías, para tal ectividad se han perdido muchas noches incontables, por su exacta obsesión por su noble tarea, descontole la tranquilidad del sueno nocturno. Tal labor trájole consigo una debilidad física, viéndose atacado por un asma que le tortura; y otros padecimientos inherentes a su abandono de cuerpo, han desgastado las resistencias naturales conque contara su corpulencia física. Y ahi le tenemos hoy, victima de su despreocupación, por dar cumplimiento a las exigencias de su mente y de su corazon, sufriendo un decaimiento fisiológico, que al no atenderse inmediata y prontamente, daria al traste con la liquidación de su armazón corporea, destruyendose así la jaula de ébrio. do habita la gran mariposa de luz que encierra la niente del negro martir. Y asi cuando fue enviado a la prisión hace veinte y siete meses, aquellos que estabamos concientes del mal que le aquejaba y que conociamos como se desarrolla el asma en un organismo que esta sumido a la inactividad, falta de luz solar y a lo enervante del aire de una prisión, sentimos con profunda ansiedad lo terrible que será para él el proceso asmático, y rogamos por que los cinco años de su confinamiento no se hagan cargo de su preciosa vida. Harán pocas semanas, apesar de los esfuerzos del sufrido en oculatar los hechos, tuvimos conocimiento de que el Hon. Garvey era un paciente en el hospital de la prisión padeciendo de la grippe, complicada con un ataque maligno de asma. La ansiedad de los pocos que comprendimos lo que por él pasaba, fue compartida entre los millones de la raza por los cuales el tanto laborara y sacrificara en redimir. El ha salido del hospital donde estuvo recluido por espacio de quince dias y durante el curso de este lapso de tiempo perdió doce libras, restándose así a su físico fuerza, resistencia y vitalidad, estado que tememos todos los que le queremos y admiramos. No obstante, sus adeptos en el mundo entero han sentido en verle fuera y algo mejorado de su crónica dolencia. Mas ahora parece que se condición no es tal que inspire optimismo. El Hon. Fred A. Toote, actual president general interino, de vuelta de una visita a la penitenciaria de Atlanta, con la gravedad que al caso caracteriza, da la voz de alerta a todos los miembros de la organización, que a menos que no se redoblen sus esfuerzos para asegurar inmediatamente la libertad del venerado leader, el Hon. Marcus Garvey, el heroe tan amado por millones, el padre de la redención de Africa, la victima de la artificiosa a hipócrita edad sin sentimiento que corremos, desaparecerá y su pérdida será irreparable para los suyos y para la humanidad en general. MARCUS GARVEY MORIRA EN LA PRISIÓN. El Hon. Marcus Garvey, fundador y presidente general vitalico de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, no es otra cosa en la actualidad que un cascaron de lo que antes fue su indomable y dinámico ser. La luz de la lucha caldea todavía en sus ojos; pero ello sirvce solamente para acentuar la lucha interna que su espiritu rebelde e inconquistable esta sosteniendo contra las allicciones de la carne, la cual cede a las durezas y rigores de la prison. Negros, que vais a hacer? Mens sama la corpore sumo es tan esencial a Marcus Garvey, el leader aceptado, la estrella polar de la raza negra, como lo es a Calvin Coolidge, a Benito Mussolini ó a Arisitdes Briand; a Eugene Chen, a Kemal Pasha ó a Mahatma Gandhi, los prraculos de sus pueblos respectivos. No necesitamos conclonar a Stanley Baldwin, a Austen Chamberlain ó a Lord George, por quienes el imperio británico lucharia la muerte, si un cabello de sus cabezas fuese inquieto por mano vandalica. precauciones muy elaboradas se han tomado por todos doblos civilizados y los tal flamados incivilizados, para THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1967 protejer las personas de sus leaders. Cuando el Hon. Presidente de esta gran república va de un punto a otro, un pequeño ejercito de sus defensores muévese con él; porque es el leader que sirve al pueblo y esta llamado a tener una completa e indisputable protección. Cuando Mussolini viaja, las camisas negras armadas hasta los dientes le preceden, le flanquean, protejen su restaguardia, gesticulan y gritan y jay de aquel que ose atacar su persona! El Presidente Doumergue de Francia en sus visitas a Londres, se pasea en medio de filas de acero protector hasta el palacio de Buckingham. Todo esto demuestra que el hombre blanco, como elamarillo, como el negro 6 el hombre de cualquier estación racial, proteje cuidadosamente a los hombres que le guian le dirijen y le orienten Y el negro no puede hacer menos. Aunque hoy no existe en el mundo ningun poder republico africano, para que haga inviolable la persona de sus jefes doquiera se encuentren, aun en los cuatrocientos millones de negros esparcidos por el mundo, reside la habilidad y poder de defender las vidas de aquellos que se han dedicado a servir los intereses de la comunidad; de manera que los Estados Unidos de Africa puedan imponer su y, y no vivir en el enredo de la duda y de la incertidumbre. Marcus Garvey, el protagonista de la redención africana, el clarividente, el sacrificado, el sufrido, el padre de la idea de un hogar para los africanos, donde puedan vivir con conciencia libre los negros de allí y los de acá, ese martir de la raza languidece en un tormento físico y mental en las celdas de una prison. Lejos de ser un criminal y de ser aborrecido por los suyos y los otros, es un gran benefactor de su raza, hombre que ha de ser respetado, adorado y admirado. Si permitimos que continue en la prision, haresm de él un cuerpo enfermo; su físico se derrumbará, victima de las dolencias que le aquejan y su fin será el sanitario ó la tumba. No hay tiempo que perder. Debemos salvar a Marcus Garvey. Redoblad vuestros esfuerzos, negros que amáis la libertad y levantad el ánimo en vuestras comunidades, tocando a la puerta de todos vuestros conciudadanos y hermanos de pigmento. Hacedles ver que en ellos esta la llave de la prisión de Marcus Garvey, para que sea puesto en libertad y vuelva a vuestro sano. Y toca ahora al Presidente Coolidge el ver que no se posterguen los sentimientos de una raza. Nada mas alenador procedente de Africa, como la información de que las masas de aquel pueblo se unifican y organizan bajo su propia direccion, con el gran objetivo de protejer sus interveas de la destrucción que amenaza la presencia de los poderes de Europa en dicho continente. La laudable labor de El Congreso Africano ha sido siempre tornada en gran consideración por esta publicación. Ella es una organización inteligente que cuenta con una dirección competente, la cual reconoce sus derechos y tiene el valor que le proporcionan sus propias convicciones. Nada mas efectivo como la salvación de la raza por medios de los esfuerzos de la raza misma. Y la prensa de nuestro elemento en Africa realiza una gran obra, en contra de innumerables dificultades, para estimular la labor de dicha organización. A ningun punto definitivo iremos a parar sin la propia organización y dirección. La ambición del ingles y del holandés para posesionarse de las tierras y esclavizar al africano, encuentra al presente gran oposición por parte de este, quien tiene el apoyo del resto de los negros del mundo. Una de las pruebas de que el negro africano se organiza bajo su propia direccion para protejer sus intereses, queda demostrada en un mensaje enviado a un director de una de nuestras revistas en esta ciudad por el señor Clements Cahars, secretario nacional de la Union Industrial y Comercial de Trabajadores de Africa, escrito desde Johannesburg. Africa del Sur, el cual entre otras cosas dice: "Hemos hecho ademas un progreso rápido en la acquisition de nuevos miembros. Nuestro número ha aumentado a 75,000 y hay gran posibilidad de que este ascienda muy pronto a 100,000." La manifestación de este hecho por tal autoridad es mas que alentador, cuando tomamos en consideración la actitud del presente gobienor de Africa determinado a reducir al negro a un estado económico restrictivo, con el objeto de protejer al trabajador blanco. Este entra en competencia con el asiático y el africano por medio de restricción, legislatura, fuerza, en lo cual la amenaza y el asienfato frecuentemente juegan su papel principal. El asiático y el africano estan aprendiendo a responder al fuego del blanco con el fuego propio, de otro modo nada adquiriran sino detrera y humillation, por el hecho de que aquel es persistente y descorazonado doquiera se vean envuclidos su trabajo y su dinero. Un obsequoio El Women's Press Club de esta ciudad obsequió a su presidenta la Sra. Ferol V Reeves-Smoot, directora asociada del Negro World, con un esplendido banquete en el Park View Inn, hotel situado en la Avenida Edgeconb. Alli vimos representadas la dirección y administración de las si- quientes publicaciones de la razas Interstate Tattler, New York Age, Chicago Defender, Negro World, Amsterdam News y New York News. Manifestación de protesta El 8 de mayo fue un dia memorable en la vida de esta comunidad. Varios miles de miembros de la división local de esta ciudad en unión de otros tanto miembros de divisiones adyacentes, tomaron parte en una gran parada de protesta sobre la continuada encarcelación del Hon. Marcus Garvey. Las aceras estaban atestadas de simpatizadores del mcvinimiento y el ailencio tanto de los expectadores como de los manifestantes, creó una atmósfera de gran impresión entre las masas del pueblo. Marcus Garvey no ha perdido un solo atomo de su influencia sobre el sentir y pensar de su propio pueblo. Este a cada dia que transcurre demuestra mayor fe y admiración por el hombre y su mision por la redención de Africa y el mejoramiento de la condición del negro en todas partes. Sus verdaderos amigos y adeptos a la causa que el patrocinario, han laborado, laboran y continuarán laborando, hasta adquirir del presidente de la nación su perdon incondicional y así ser restaurado hacia la obra emancipadora de su pueblo. Conmemorando el vigésimo quinto aniversario de su independencia La joven y progresista república de Cuba, la penultima de las naciones de Hispano América en nacer a la vida independiente, celebró el vigesimo quinto aniversario de su constitución como entidad autónoma. En cinco lustros la bella nación antillana, gracias al patriotismo de sus hijos, ha llegado a colocarse en situación enviable en el puesto de las naciones cultas del orbe, y el progreso que ha obtenido en todo orden de actividades es ejemplo halagador. Cuba que fue la primera de las Grandes Antillas descubierta por el Almirante Cristóbal Colón, al anochecer del 27 de octubre de 1492, inició la lucha por la conquista de su soberania en 1850, con las expediciones del patriota Narciso Lopez, pero no la logro efectivamente sino después de mucinas vicisitudes. la pérdida de miles de sus hijos y centenares de sus prohombres, el 20 de mayo de 1902, en que el gobernador militar Wood hizo entrega solenne del gobernero de Cuba a su primer presidente, el benemerito patricio don Tomás Estrada Palma. No seria posible recorder la magna efemerides nacional cubana sin dedicar un recuerdo de veneración a la agregia figura del noble patricio, guerrero y poeta, alma y brazo de las luchas libertarias cubanas, el apostol José Marti, quien dedicó su vida, y la rindió en el campo de batalla de Dos Rios, en aras de la libertad y por amor de la patria, y que nos ha legado el mas brillante ejemplo de heroismo y de virtudes civicas.

Very fine program—thank you boys. Appreciation is expressed by the undersigned for the enjoyable program rendered by you through the courtesy of station WEAF, this date. I hope to hear you again on the air in the near future. Written for The Negro World By J. A. ROGERS Naples, Italy.—A very dirty, foul-smelling city in a setting of richest natural beauty. Naples makes one think of a slatternly woman living in a palace. This is worse than the Moorish quarter in Casablanca, for there the streets were swept, and the sun shone between their one-story low-windows; but here the buildings were erected in the Middle Ages, tall, permanent, of stone with narrow, winding, stony pathways, sometimes not wide enough to permit outstretched arms; paths on which the sun shines only at midday, if at all, for often there is an arch high overhead, or clothing strung across. And the poverty of so many of the inhabitants seems to equal that of the poorest Moors. What has entrapped the Moors is that they selected white garments in a land where water is scarce; here the poor wear black and the dark colored garments of white civilization. Beggars awarm, and they descend on new arrivals like parakeets on a cornfield. So piteous are they but so many that one has finally to resolve not to give another centime, for if one wore to help but a small part of those seeming really to need it, he'd be a beggar himself in short order. One can see them and other unfortunate swarming on the steps of the numerous churches or pitritable figures in cathedrals, opulent with rare paintings and carvings, their lips rapidly muttering prayers that are never answered. Their God must indeed be asleep on the job, dead, perhaps, as Mietzsche says, certainly indifferent. One thinks of Elijah mocking the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel, telling them to pray louder as their god must be asleep or gone on a journey. Yet in a world where some have so much, and others nothing at all, what other consolation have the wretched ones but the opiate of religion. The poor in Morocco at least didn't lost the power to smile, but here the poor are too woe-begone for words. And the odor that arises toward morning: That of the Chicago stockyards is almost perfume in comparison. The best comparison is that of the fish-stalls in the French market in New Orleans. The first night I slept in the poorer quarter of the city, and had to choose between the odor inside and that without; finally I had to close the window. The second night in much better place but again I had to close the window. The breath of Naples certainly has that of a garlic-eater shot to pieces. But there is another side. Down in front of the bay, perhaps the most beautiful in the world are the modern manSIONs, with even more palatial ones going up. On the hill is the Royal Palace, while there is the magnificent Castle Nuove; other splendid homes occupying commanding positions on the hills, as well as the Riviera d'Chaîne and the Vin Caraccio, most beautiful promenades. And at night on the streets there are the screenaders with their stringed instruments. I stood enchanted for almost an hour listening to five young lads singing selections from the operas, and cannot recall ever hearing more soul put into song. And when it came to the tambourine one feels pretty sure that any of the five could have got a good salary on the American stage. Unless one is of sociological bent he must get out of the city to enjoy Naples. There is, however, a very famous art museum, with the original of the Furness Hercules. An hour and a half's ride away is the buried city of Pompeii, which one may enter for the equivalent of thirty-six cents. On way thither one gets a good view of M. Vesuvius, its crater like a hole hiten out by some giant, also of majestic Mount Pompano, overlooking the bay, and the beautiful island of Capri rising sheer out of the deep blue of the sea. One passes groves of olives and orange orchards yellow with ripe fruit. It is spring in hand with autumn. For prospective visitors the best thing is to get a Baedeker guide book and avoid the guides, who pestera one to hire them, and later pestera one for more than the price agreed on. Pompell is another unforgettable sight. Life played a cruel trick on this population of twenty thousand souls in 79 A. D. for the financial and educational benefit of posterity. One night without warning Vasylius which is about ten miles away as the crow flies, sent a deluge of hot ashes burying the city deep and transfixing into limestone those unable to escape. For a vivid description of this awful event read Lytton's "Last Days of Pompell." Minus the roofs which were removed by the excavators long centuries later, the city stands with its temples, tribunals, wheel-worn streets, baths, Wine-shops with vats, theatres, fountains, monuments and houses of prostitution. A remarkable sight is the vomitorium in which the old Romans who had more than one dinner engagement could go to empty himself of the contents of the first in order to keep the second. There is also the museum with much of the recovered treasures: some of the inhabitants in the exact pose in which death had overtaken; calcined bread and grain, and even little dogs turned into lime. And one must not forget to mention what seems to be the chief attraction to most visitors: certain pictures on the walls. The most remarkable of these is the Domus Vettiorum (House of Vettii). Vettii seems to have been a sort of general provider catering to all the needs of humanity, from soup to nuts. Modern ladies are not permitted into a certain room in his establishment, so they stand on the outside peering in on us members of the more fortunate sex, eager if not permitted to age, at least to hear, and later quizzing their male escorts to hear all about it. Those old Romans were certainly frank. The symbols they had ornamenting their buildings even on the main street, and the signs the houses of prostitution had carried on their sidewalks. These, to say the least, would send the editors of those papers to protest against the nude human figures in magazines, howling into straight-jackets. Returning from Pompell, one gets off at Pugiligno for a visit to the crater of Mount Vesuvius. A tramway, and later a funicular railroad takes one almost into the center of the crater. On the way up one passes great Presents stretches of black lava which gives the land the appearance of having been borrowed by some giant plough. There are the ruins of houses and towns that have been robbed after each eruption, a period covering centuries. Brilliantly man has at last given up, but still he builds further down the mountain where even here he is not safe for these are the ruins of numerous homes caused by the recent eruption. New buildings are going up, however. Man is always hopeful, and further the land is very rich. Inside as one descends into the crater he can hear the mountain rumbling deep within its bosom like an angry Cyclops, as it prepares fresh volumes of fiery mud to spout forth whenever it has the whim. From invisible fissures great clouds of steam are pouring, the pit itself requiring nothing less than the genius of a Milton or Dante to describe it. And as to the trip it is rather costly, but the view from the mountain alone is almost worth it. New Types of Early Pottery Are Dug Up in Palestine JERU'SALEM, May 21.—The discovery of a rich store of early Israelite pottery by the Mizpah expedition of the Pacific School of Religion, under Professor William C. Bude, has resulted in a decision to extend the operations of the expedition into the summer. Near Tel-el-Ansheh, in an area adjacent to the ancient Semitic temple found ten days ago, the expedition discovered two closed clisters hwn out of the bedrock. The importance of the find was recognized immediately and the Governor of Jerusalem accepted an invitation to open the clisters. They contained a rich collection of early Israelite pottery, including forms entirely new to ceramics in the Near East. Many jar and pitchers were found whole and scores of others which were in pieces are being assembled. Great Earthquake Recorded WASHINGTON, May 22.—A gigantic earthquake, estimated to have occurred between 7,500 and 7,800 miles from Washington, was recorded to light on the seismograph of Georgetown University. The disturbance, Director Tondorff of the observatory said, began at 8:47 p.m. was still in progress at 8:15 and probably would continue for two hours or more. Director Tondorff could not trace the direction of the earthquake, but said it "must be one of the biggest we've had in years." The seismograph needle, he said, was thrown off the instrument several times, indicating the acoustiness of the disturbance. The art of glass making was practiced in 2500 B. C. by the inhabitants of the Euphrates Valley, who sold glass beads to the Egyptians.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Task of Marcus Garvey Glorious but Thankless To the Editor of The Negro World: Reducing a massive piece of granite to a level heap of pebbles with a giant stedge hammer might not be a particularly easy job, but those who have made a study of the perplexing Negro problem, and especially of the Negro himself with his different and deteriorating environments throughout the world, would be more apt to undertake such a job rather than endanger their character, health and precious lives with the unequal, most unthankful and soul-sucking task of leading Negroes.

C. --- being too cowardly even to attempt to regain their own birth certificate, that is being dangled before their very eyes in the hand of a would-be bully, out of universal thrdom to a plane of national independence and security, is a more difficult one than being king, emperor, president or premier, than spanning the Thames or Hudson with iron and steel, or connecting London, Paris, Rome and Berlin with New York by ether. It is not a man's job. It is indeed the job of a superman, and requires something far more superior than the information that is acquired at Oxford or Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Berlin universities. It requires the knowledge of a genius, and genius is not made by universities. The helplessness of our university graduates on the question of Negro emancipation and African redemption is based not only on selfishness, but on a positive knowledge of its unusual requirements which they are aware they do not possess, and the personal desperacy the tremendous undertaking entails. Their denunciation of Marcus Garvey, who came upon the scene unheralded ten years ago, not with university degrees back of his name, but with the torch of Negro liberty, freedom and democracy and the cry of "Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad," and started the entire world by having more than fifteen million stubborn, stiff-necked and unruly Negroes marching behind him unfalteringly, is not from their hearts, but merely a coma suffocate their ownabilities, lack of initiative and backbone. It is not selfishness, but rank cowardice, and a coward is by no means a healthy person and has absolutely no character to endanger. It is an infectious disease that leads the soldier before the firing squad, the "rut" before the pistol of his buddy, and the diplomat with a too slimy tongue to an unsuspected glass or cigar at the banquet. Cowardice is the mother of enslavement, and an army of cowardly soldiers, or even brave soldiers led by a cowardly leader, can reduce a mighty empire to a mere Alpine village over night. Marcus Garvey has been called all kinds of names, but it is gratifying that no one has as yet referred to him as a coward. He has even been referred to as a Moses, and, in truth, he is a genius, and we are disposed to believe that had he the good fortune of half a dozen intrepid men of character and racial integrity to have executed his plans as he had planned them ten years ago, he would not now be languishing in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary and the race would have been ten years nearer its goal of freedom and independence. But the reverse is the truth, and it is no secret that practically every Negro who had been elevated from in most cases total obscurity to a position of international importance by the institution and entrusted with the execution of its program have proven themselves total failures, not so much from the absence of intelligence and ability to execute their assigned task, but because of the lack of the great qualities aforementioned. This is as true as it is sad, but no sadder than it has been in every other reform movement, and if the thousands of other men of the race who may not be "Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire" The Marvelous Deeds of Our Ancestors This book, the MOST THRILLING STORY OF THE AGES, is the result of ten years' intensive research work in the great libraries of this country.

This writer probably would have been one of thousands of others who, under far less burden, would have given up the unequal and thankless task at the place where Marcel Garvey has obviously taken on new life and developed greater strength. He is a man of extraordinary character and should have the sympathy and undivided support of every well-thinking and race-loving man and woman. J. MILTON BATSON. New York, N. Y. Victory Is Sure When Faith Abides To the Editor of The Negro World: After reading the Negro World for many months, and noting the many troubles the Universal Negro Improvement Association encounters I am convinced that it is faith that overcomes all things. Let us have faith in ourselves. Most men go to pieces when they have had a few heathings. They wilt. They fade away. They crawl into a safe little corner and hide while the great rough title of glorious life rushes past them. The fact is that defeat is the normal thing in this haphazard little world and victory comes to seldom. Every victory, usually, is the result of a long series of defeats. A man must have faith in himself and in what he is trying to do. He must say "I can." He must back himself to win. He must bet on himself. He must have faith in the people he works with. He must believe in his team. He must see the better side of his co-workers and not think that his own point of view is the only right one. He must have faith in those great principles that make us superior to the animals of the forest, truth, honesty, sympathy, justice and progress. JOHN C. ADAMS. Cristo Oriente Cube Oppression's Hand Again Reaches Out To the Editor of The Negro World: Please permit me to express publicly the disappointment of the Seattle Division in being unable to stage a public parade on Sunday, May 15, in company with the other divisions of the U. N. I. A. throughout the world. The city police inspector refused to give the organization a permit for this parade. He gave as his reasons for refusal that he did not know what the nature of the parade would be and that a disturbance of some kind might result in such a public demonstration. We did all that we could to reason with him, but he continued to refuse to grant the permit and the division had to content itself with a mass meeting in behalf of the release of our honored president general. This is one of the inconveniences which we are forced to suffer as a result of living in a country in which the Negro is not even respected. JOSSEH LYNCH. Seattle, Washington. Fellow members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have a true and inspiring champion of the principles of Garveyism in the person of Hon. S. A. Haynes of Pittsburgh. This fearless exponent of African Nationalism with his trenchant pen continues to fire the souls of red-blooded Garveyites. His outspoken declarations are pregnant with courage, confidence and determination. Ding-nose, if you please, his recent ultimatum of 400,000,000 people of African blood, when he states: "There is no secret about it, the Negro, like other people, has made up his mind to share in the freedom and civilization of man even if he has to wade through an ocean of bayonets, an atmosphere of gas, or a sea of blood to taste thereof." (Ask them to laugh that off.) Onward, onward to our goal. What goal? Listen to our Uncle Sammer: "African nationhood! This is our goal our DEATHLESS star." This is the brand of propaganda that will ultimately bring about the realization of our dreams. Let every Negro man, woman and child read, analyze—and digest the writings of Hon. Samuel A. Haynes in the column, "Some Things Garveyites Should Know." Fraternally yours, ARTHUR S. GRAY. Oakland, Calif. Correct Name of Columbus Said to Be Enriquez MADRID, Spain, May 17. Enriquez was the real family name of Christopher Columbus, Mgr. Adrian Sanchez Serrano, chaplain of the Spanish National Church, believes he can prove as a result of twenty-five years research. Mgr. Serrano revealed what he believes is the correct name of the discoverer of America in a lecture last night before the Ibero-American Union. He had previously said he could prove Columbus was a Spartand of noble blood, but had refused to give the name. The explorer was forced to adopt the name Columbus for a reason which he will explain later. Mgr. Serrano said. The Enriquez family was related to the ruling house of Spain, he said, basing his identification largely on the revelations of heraldic arms discovered on tombs. The audience applauded Mgr. Serrano vigorously. Save Marcus Garvey New Before It Is Too Late L DA 199 BARGAIN WATCH ```markdown ``` This beautiful watch, it Kill kill and effect even beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, amateur.

Mail and freight and passenger traffic which originated in the west and was destined for the Mesopotamian Valley and the Persian Gulf coast had found its way eastward either by a voyage of a month through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea or by a journey of weeks along the tortuous routes followed by camel caravans across the Arabian peninsula. Today mail and passengers landed at Beirut, on the Mediterranean coast of Syria, are in Bagdad in less than twenty-four hours. Three years ago an automobile route was planned across the Syrian Desert; its purpose primarily was for transportation of mail between Belirut and Bagdad. It fulfilled this purpose in accordance with the high traditions of the mail service throughout the world; whatever the perils and dangers on the way, says a succinct statement from Belirut, "the mail from Bagdad never missed a steamer connection." According to the United States Commerce Reports, there are now three companies operating mail and passenger cars across the Syrian Desert; one is backed by British and French capital. The others are operated by Syrians. That is a very brief statement of an enterprise which won against odds and despite many discouragements. The route as originally laid out was from Refrut to Damascus and from there past the desert wells of Rutbah to Bagdad.

Again, Arabian reargades besieged the trail through the desert, and during the Drusse revolt an entirely new route had to be sought to escape attacks by the rebellious tribesmen or by the brigand bands that operated around Damascus under the cloak of fanatical devotion to the Drusse cause. In peace the way from Debir was the easiest part of the route, a pleasant ride along a French built road over the Syrian highlands. During the Drusse revolt, however, Damascus had to be avoided: the alternative routes were south to Jerusalem and from there across the Trans-Jordanian hills or north by way of the ancient cities of Homs and Palmyra and down the Euphrates Valley. On the original route the way entered the Syrian Desert just beyond Damascus. The only tracks across this great expanse of sand was that left by the ancient camel caravans, and this the driver of the car did not follow. For miles he plowed through the sand, or, if the storms were at their height, he ventured into the Euphrates Valley and laborede through miles of hubdeep mud, guarding as best he could against the sudden flood rises of this treacherous river. In the seasons when he fought these severe climatic conditions, usually in the early spring and midwinter, it was a wonder, as one of the drivers expressed it, that "we ever got through."

It is not unusual for the intoxict commissions to the drivers or to ask their assistance in case of accident or serious illness. One chieftain rode twenty miles to tell a driver of a stranded airman on the desert, and he carried back with him a motor to replace the one that had failed and caused the accident to the airship. The motor service has established itself in the field when it first entered and it is now seeking extension into Persia. One company now runs cars from the coast to Teheran, and if the new Shah makes good his promise of better roads the tourist may soon may be riding in an automobile in Norke' land and along the marches of Alexander's armies.
