Aegro World The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. & A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES VOL. XXII. No.18 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1927 What Marcus Garvey Would Have Us Do In His Behalf Make Insistent Demands For Justice, Yes, But Not Maudlin Pleas For Mercy Marcus Garvey, the greatest leader of Negroes this age has produced, is today in prison; millions of Negroes would go into transports of delight if this heroic son of Africa were tomorrow to walk forth from Atlanta Penitentiary a free man; the world of Negroes would rejoice at having the spectre of a very real tragedy—the complete breakdown of Marcus Garvey's health—removed from before their eyes by the longed for ukase of President Coolidge, but our burning desire to have our leader back among us must not be allowed to warp our judgment, to distort our vision, or sidetrack our minds from the fundamentals. In our overpowering urge to secure Marcus Garvey's release from prison let us be sure we do nothing which we may subsequently be sorry for, or which would impede our hero and his work in after years. Of late the appeals being made to the authorities to release our leader have more and more been taking on the aspect of abject cries for mercy. Apart from the fact that this hardened world in which we live ignores and spurns the suppliant on bended knees—except in the face of some dire catastrophe which threatens to engulf all—we are missing the point, we are compromising ourselves, Marcus Garvey and our cause, we are doing exactly the thing Marcus Garvey himself would not have us do, when, thinking we are pleading for Marcus Garvey, we ask MERCY. No such thing as mercy should be invoked in behalf of our leader, but JUSTICE. A pardon, yes, prompted by considerations of justice, but not springing from a measly font of mercy. When Marcus Aurelius Garvey faced his tormentors in the Federal court room in New York City four years ago, at the close of his case, his lips framed no abasing, convenient prayer for mercy. "I do not ask for mercy," he told his white judges, looking them straight in the eye, "but justice, justice, justice." And two years and four months of foul prison air have not caused the author of that manly declaration to retreat one step. The misguided appeals of well-intentioned friends and followers, the shrill shrieks for mercy for him, cause him greater agony and torment than all the venom and malice of the persecution. Marcus Garvey has done no wrong, is guilty of no crime against humanity. In his deathless attempt to right grievous wrongs being done to his race, in his noble effort to point men of his race and blood the way to respect and power, he could not but tread upon the corns of the mighty. Thus he was marked out for punishment, and Atlanta was his Calvary. Soon, as time is reckoned, he will have to be released, and it were better that he serve fifteen months more in jail than that the Negro peoples should give a semblance of conceding any wrong-doing on his part. It is not mercy, we repeat, that should be invoked in behalf of Marcus Garvey, but justice. His precious life is being seriously imperiled by continued confinement, and no true Negro can stand by complacently and let the crisis come. But let us be dignified and sensible in the methods we use to secure his immediate release. The world must be made to understand that WE know and realize and understand that Marcus Garvey is no criminal, but rather a great teacher and benefactor of the Negro race, and, knowing this, we would have Justice, not Mercy, dispensed.—The Editors. EXTRAORDINARY MASS MEETING IN INTEREST OF LIBERTY UNIVERSITY AT NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, LIBERTY HALL 135 Broom Street Wednesday Evening, June 15, 1927 INTRODUCING PROF. ALBERT SCOTT Formerly of Premier Sherthand School, Washington, D. C. Everybody Is Invited to Hear His Message FREE GARVEY, PATRIOT, HELD, BUT REAL SWINDLERS FREED Sargent Approves Release of Million-Dollar Swindlers and Federal Board Acts Despite Opposition of Judge and Two Prosecutors WASHINGTON, June 3. - George G. Hynson and George L. Dorr, who were jointly convicted in New York on April 7, 1926, of using the mails to defraud investors in the Petroleum Producing and Refining Company of a sum approximating $1,000,000 and were sentenced to terms in the Atlanta Penitentiary, are now at liberty under paroles approved by Attorney General Sargent. Dorr was released on December 18 and Hynson on May 6 in accordance with recommendations made by the Board of Parole, of which Captain Albert H. Conner, Superintendent of Federal Prisons, is chairman. According to information obtained in official quarters, Hynson and Dorr received paroles because of good behavior in prison and further because of a belief on the part of the board that neither was likely again to become involved in trouble. It was admitted here today that Judge Knox, who imposed sentence in these cases, former United States District Attorney Buckner and United States Attorney Tuttle had declined to recommend paroles for Hynson and Dorr, on the ground that the two men were not sufficiently punished. Dorr was sent to Atlanta on May 3, 1926, for a term of eighteen months, and Hynson on May 17, 1926, for a term of two and a half years. Dorr had previously been sentenced to Atlanta for a year and a day for alleged swindling in connection with sale of stock of the Morosco Holding Company. In his case, both sentences were to run concurrently. Several weeks prior to their release Hynson and Door were transferred from Atlanta to Alderson, W. Va., where the Government is constructing the Federal industrial institution for women. There they were engaged in road building and other work. They were classified as "trusties" and were permitted to go unguarded. Officials here say that the usual considerations entered into the parole of Hynson and Dorr. Under the law they were eligible for release on probation after they had served one-third of their sentences. The explanation was made that under the regulations the Board of Parole is forbidden to take into account any representations for the parole of a prisoner that may be made pro or con. For that reason, it was suggested, the board was obliged to pass on the paroles for Hynson and Dorr without regard to the retusal of Judge Knox and Mr. Buckner and Mr. Tuttle to make recommendations in behalf of them. Dies of Wound Received In Civil Was Battle in '62 POUGHKEEPNIE, N. Y. May 30, 1908. Morgan Street, 59 years old, a veteran of the Civil War, died in St. Francis' Hospital today of blood poisoning, which sex in last October in a wound which he had received in the battle of Smithfield in 1862. At that time a Confederate bullet hit Strait in the ankle, requiring four amputations. Mr. Strait was still an invalid soldier and was in the audience at Ford's Theatre in Washington when President Lincoln was assassinated. In recent years he had suffered from his old wound, but the trouble was not serious until blood poisoning developed. Six days ago he was removed to St. Francis' Hospital. Besides Smithfield, Mr. Strait also fought at Gettysburg and Chancellorsville, where a finger was shot off. Negro School Property In South Carolina WASHINGTON, June 2. - Value of school property for Negro education in South Carolina increased during 19 years from $1,490,768 to $3,445,524, according to a report of the State superintendent of education.—C. P. B. Hon. Fred A. Toote, Acting President General of Universal Negro Improvement Association, Asks Churches, Political and Fraternal Societies to Send Petition to President Coolidge During "Marcus Garvey Release Week"—June 12-19 The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliary, the Universal Political Union, working in concert with each other to bring about the release of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, incarcerated in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., have set aside the week of June 12-19 as MARCUS GARVEY RELEASE WEEK. Marcus Garvey, founder and president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a worldwide organization the object of which is to work for the betterment of conditions existing among all Negroos, was sentenced to a term of five years in Atlanta Penitentiary under the technical charge of using the United States mail to defraud while engaged in the promotion of the Black Star Line, a commercial enterprise in which he strove honestly and conscientiously to improve the Negro's commercial status. Two years and three months have passed since Marcus Garvey's imprisonment. Repeatedly have the followers and friends of Marcus Garvey petitioned the President of the United States of America to grant a pardon to Marcus Garvey and release him from prison, believing that his technical violation of a Federal statute was made, not with the intent of defrauding any person, but in an effort to help advance a downtrodden race. To their utter dismay, these petitions have not brought about the desired effect. Marcus Garvey through his attorneys has made three applications to the President of the United States for pardon. His last application was accompanied by a signed request by ten of the jurors who sat on his case and who voted his conviction, for the President to give favorable consideration to the matter. But, it is disappointing to note that up to the present time no action has been taken by the President in the matter. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Universal Political Union now appeal to all Negro churches, lodges and other fraternal societies, political clubs and other Negro uplift movements in America to PETITION the President of the United States of America, during the week of June 12-19, to RELEASE MARCUS GARVEY. Believing that the membership of your institution is interested in doing all in its power towards the alleviation of the sufferings of a black brother—one who has so nobly championed the fight of the Negro in his march to Freedom, Liberty and Independence—to the end that justice will be meted out to him, we request that the members through their official representative telegraph a night letter to the Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President United States of America, White House, Washington, D. C., requesting the release of Marcus Garvey. Appreciative of this humanitarian effort on the part of your institution, be assured of our willingness to be of service to you whenever called upon. Fraternally yours, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. ASSOCIATION, UNIVERSAL POLITICAL UNION, F. A. TOOTE, Acting President. June 1. 1927. Rupprecht Declares varians Want King MUNICH, Germany, May 31. "That the Bavarians are absolutely in favor of the monarchy was the statement made by former Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria when he addressed a peasants' meeting last night. The Bavarian people, he said, have shown that they are submitting to the republic only by compulsion, manifesting their allegiance to the hereditary monarchy at every opportunity. "Bavarians want restitution of the former rights of the royal house," he added emphatically. "The people will not be silenced until their demand for their former king is granted." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1927 Talk of Acquiring British West Indies a Hardy Annual CHICAGO, June 3.—In your editorial of yesterday's date, "The British West Indies and the Naval Conference," you advocated that the United States negotiate for the British West Indies, giving as your chief reason that "the Caribbean is an American ocean." Canada is also an American country, but that is no reason why it should be owned by the United States. In case of a war with Great Britain, Canada can be used more effectively as a basis of operation by Great Britain to harm the United States than the British West Indies. The Caribbean sea may be an American ocean, but it is not a United Ocean. You talk about the British West Indies only as so much land. These islands are inhabited almost entirely by black men and women. White people are also there, and white and black men and women mix and are treated on an equal basis in every shape, manner and form. There is no segregation and no lynching. The British West Indians do not want and will present the idea of being governed by the United States. England is solvent and willing to pay her war debts. Why don't you suggest negotiating for the French West Indies? JOSIAH GORDON. France Limits "Beauty" Of Her African Belles DAKAR, Penegal. Lip stretching, nose piercing and teeth filling, long practiced by the beauties of France's African colonies, have at last fallen under the ban of the law. From now on the government of the Third Republic, Doumergue, President, Bartheuil, Minister of Justice, and Pleister Minister of Colonies, will punish such disgracements with full sentences, ranging from two to ten years. A device to effect officially slanted and seated lips has been promulgated. U.S. TO RECOGNIZE NATIONALISTS IF PEKING IS TAKEN Washington is Expected to Deal With Them as De Facto Government if They Capture Peking—Capitol May be Moved WASHINGTON, June 4.—Unless adverse complications develop, the Nationalists of China, should they capture Peking, may receive what would amount to de facto recognition from the United States. It was explained at the State Department that the same treatment could be expected to be recorded to them as is now extended by the American Logation at Peking to the Northern Government sponsored by Marshal Chang Tao-lin. With the capture of Peking, the Nationalists would control practically all of China. Although de jure recognition has not been given by the United States to any Chinese government since that of President Yuan Shih-kai, immediately after the revolution in 1911, Secretary Kellogg explained that the relations between the logation and the Peking government had been such that they practically amounted to de jure recognition. The legation had dealt with Peking officials, it was stated, chiefly because they were on the scene, and not because the United States had any views regarding the retention of Peking as the capital of China. Immediate steps in meeting the new situation created by the northward advance of the Southern armies are to be left largely to the decision of the American naval, army and diplomatic officers in China. Weeks ago, it was said, at the department, American nationals were advised to withdraw from Northern interior points, and the suggestion was made that women and children leave Peking. Now, it is understood, practically all the Northern territory, except Peking and Tientsin, has been evacuated by Americans, with most of the American women and children having left Peking. Any new orders in connection with evacuations, Secretary Kellogg said, would be issued by the legation in its discretion. Officials would not be surprised, in the event Peking is captured, if the capital were retained at Nanking and Hankow. It was admitted that the American legation probably would be transferred from Peking to the capital to be decided upon. Butler Starts for Northern Capital TIENTSIN, June 4.—Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler, in command of American marines in China, landed at Tangwu from Shanghai early this morning and entrained immediately for Peking. His principal staff officers stopped at Tientsin and arranged for the accommodation of the 1,500 marines who are expected to arrive here tomorrow. SHANGHAI, June 9.—Sir Miles Lampson, British Minister to Peking, who has been in conference here with the British military authorities, left today for Tientsin aboard H. M. S. Keppel. Wanamaker Music Contest Draws to a Close WASHINGTON, June 3. — On August 21, 1927, at St. Louis, Mo., the lucky winners of Rodman Wanamaker's contest between Negro composers of music will receive the $1,000 which Mr. Wanamaker posted some time ago to stimulate a greater interest in Negro melodies and songs. The offer is made through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the John Wanamaker store in Philadelphia, which organization is composed of Negro employees of that store, banded together for the educational, social and artistic development of its members. The association is named after the late Robert Curtis Ogden, formerly a partner of John Wanamaker, and one of the leading philanthropists of his day, especially interested in the betterment of the Negro race. The National Association of the Negro Musicians, Inc., is cooperating in the contest, and through this association, at its coming Annual Convention, the judges and names of the winning contestants will be announced. The entrant list closed June 1st. The first prize in each of the five classifications is $100; in each, $50; the third, $25; the fourth, $15, and the fifth, $10—C. P. B.

June 3.—Further proof that the Right Wing Conservative party now has seized complete control of the Buldwin Cabinet was forthcoming today when it was disclosed that three battleships had been sent to Egyptian waters in order to back up the sharp British note sent to the Cabro government regarding the controls of the Egyptian army. This naval demonstration follows last week's break in relations with the Soviet and is seen in political circles here as registering committal of this government to a more aggressive foreign policy than has been pursued to date. Trouble has been seen simmering in Egypt for several weeks, but the movement of battleships from Malta was the result of an unexpected order and came as a surprise. A wave of anti-British feeling has swept Egypt over news that the government was again sending warships to Egyptian waters, according to dispatches from Cairo today, and the crisis threatens to come to a boiling point as the result of this dramatic step. Sirdar's Peat at issue The battleship Barham, carrying an armament of eight 15-inch guns and leading the first battle squadron of the Mediterranean fleet, and flying the flag of Vice-Admiral John D. Kelly, is accompanied by the battleship Malaya and is due at Alexandria Wednesday morning. The battleship Royal Sovereign, flying the flag of Rear Admiral D. E. Norris, will arrive at Port Said at the same time. The last naval demonstration in Egyptian waters was staged in November, 1924, following the assassination of Sidirar Sir Lee Stack. The new crisis again centers around the personality of the Sirdar, which is the title of the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army. The command is at present held by Major General C. Watson Spinks, known to the Egyptians as Spinks Pasha. The appointment was formally made by the King of Egypt on nomination of the British government: Friction between the Egyptian government, Premier Sarwat Pacha, and Lord Lloyd, of Dublinan, British High Commissioner for Egypt, has come to a head with the recommendation put forth by the Egyptian Parliamentary War Committee for army reforms, which involve the abolition of the sirdarship. These recommendations were embodied in a noted handed Lord Lloyd by Premier Sarwat, and there is a movement afloat in the Egyptian Nationalist circles, in the event of their rejection by the high commissioner, to back them up by a refusal to vote for the Parliamentary appropriation for the sirdarship. The Egyptian government adopts the viewpoint that the administration of the army is a matter for its own discretion wherein Great Britain is not entitled to interfere. The British government, on the other hand, claims this GETTING RID OF THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA Australia still has 39,275 aborigines, but the latest census taken among the natives of the South Sea continent reveals a death rate of twenty-five to every 5,000 during the period from June 30, 1925, to June 30, 1926, as compared with a rate of one to every 5,000 during the two preceding years. The figures are given in a report by the Trade Commissioner E. G. Babbit to the Department of Commerce at Washington. The total of Australian aborigines recorded by the latest census represents a decrease of 3,119 from the preceding year's total. In explaining the sudden increase in the death rate officials of the Australian Aborigine Protection Board stated that the nomadic habits of the blacks and the method of the taking the census by the mounted police patrol might account in part for the increased decline in the number of aborigines. It is admitted, however, that even allowing a fair margin for this difference, the figures reveal too great a disparity to be thus entirely accounted for. It is said in Australia that the census reveals a rapidly diminishing total of full blood aborigines and a higher ratio of deaths in these original inhabitants of the country. Mr. T. J. R.

Faulkner, defeated candidate for presidency of the People's Party of Governor of Georgia Orders Rigid Investigation of Story That 5 of 50 Negroes Held in Peonage Were Slain ATLANTA, June 4—A Negro laborer's charge that he was held in peonage on a Georgia plantation for seventeen months with fifty other Negroes, and that five of them were slain, has caused Governor Walker to order a rigid investigation. Governor Walker said he placed little credence in a story James Felton told Danville, Va., police, and the Negro's charges were denied in detail by Dr. W. R. King, a prominent physician farmer, whose trial on peonage charges is scheduled to begin Monday at Athena, Ga. Fellon told the Danville police he escaped from a Georgia farm owned by a "Doctor King" about two weeks ago after being detained by armed guards for more than a year. Dr. W. R. King was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury last December on the specific allegation of a Department of Justice agent that Sonney Dorsey, a Negro, was compelled to work on his farm without pay. The agent also charged in a complaint that another Negro and several white men were involved. Dr. King denied the charge, waived preliminary hearing, and after the Grand Jury action made bond of $1,000 for his appearance for trial. Negotiations for Irrigating Rich Valley are Successful PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, June 3. Official announcement of the signing of a contract for irrigating the Artibonite Valley, in Haiti, is expected tomorrow. Negotiations have been going on for months between the Haitian government and ex-Representative William A. Rodenberg of Illinois, representing American capital. The valley is considered to be potentially the most productive area in Haiti, but since French colonial times it has yielded little more than its inhabitants require. Under the contract's terms Haitians are enabled to share in the enterprise, it is understood. A statement issued at the American Legation said: "The treaty officials' consideration of this contract was animated throughout by desire to protect Haitian interests. The officials consider that the rights of the inhabitants and of the Haitian Government are scrupulously maintained." GARVEY'S BIG MASS UNDER THE A EAST BROOKLYN C U. N. I AT BOYLES A. M GARVEY'S RELEASE HAITI CONTRACT TO U. S. that republic. President King is now on a visit to France. These charges, according to Faulkner, may be aired in the courts and have been set forth in an open letter directed particularly to President-elect C. B. D. King. In this letter Mr. Faulkner cites a bill of particulars in which he holds the president responsible for gross irregularities and fraud during elections. Fictitious Names Government officials, he says, have appeared at the registrar's office with lists of fictitious names which they have had recorded as registering and which on the day of election are applied to men who appear at the polls and are voted over and over again until the names are exhausted. Ballots, printed on thin tissue paper and rolled together in bundles of from 10 to 100, have been voted by one individual, the charges, and hundreds of tickets were put into the ballot boxes before the voting began. Strange returns, in which the tally sheets showed 300 names with 1,500 tickets in the box have been revealed, according to Mr. Faulkner. Clandestine Convention Calling the recent convention of the Whig Party, at which the President C. B. R. D. King was nominated, a clandestine and surreptitious meeting, it was also stated that a trick was used by the chairman which prevented delegates from the various sections of the province from expressing their views in the organization. The convention had been scheduled to convene at 2 p.m. he states, but with less than 20 people present, a surprise meeting was held at 11 o'clock in the morning and the cut and dreded nomination of President King put through. With more than 55 percent on their way to the convention and many others waiting until the afternoon session, they were surprised to learn that the convention had been held and the work completed by 11:45 in the morning. This action on the part of the chairman was not rebuked by President King, according to Mr. Faulkner, and is interpreted as being according to his wishes. In concluding his letter, which was published by Liberian newspapers, Faulkner declared that the court would be resorted to in an effort to curb these abuses. King Comments Denying that he had condoned any corruption or abuses in connection with the election, but admitting that it was possible that some of the members of the party, to secure victory, had indulged in some practices that were not just the same, President King washed his hands of the whole affair, "It only remains for us to say to Mr. Faulkner," says His Excellency, "that the matter he writes about as to what happened at the convention is our business. If there are any members of the Whig Party dissatisfied as to the procedure carried on at that convention, the Whig Party, when it is made known at the proper time and place, will fix that as we have already done without any help from outsiders. That belongs to the household of the faithful." 3,900 Tins of Opium Seized in Manila MANILA.

HOLD UP THE HANDS OF THE PARENT BODY It is necessary that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on with greater strength and enthusiasm with the coming and the going of the days.

It is never a question of right with him; it is always a question of might and subtlety, and if he be not met with greater might and subtlety he will take and hold on to what he desires. The crowning glory of the vision of Marcus Garvey is that he was able to see that the Negro people must have their own organization and leadership and principles of self-development and defense, financed by themselves and not by others, and that he was able to make the Negro in Africa and outside of it see the problem he sees it, and to enthuse them to unite to make his vision real.

There is no division of opinion about this fact. They feel that the work must go on and that it is their duty to provide the necessary money to properly finance it.

PRESERVATION OF RACE, LANGUAGE AND TRADITIONS ONE of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of Nationalism of any people or group of people with a common origin as far as they know, is the diversity of tongues they speak dialects into which their language is divided, which makes a common understanding a difficult and often insurmountable business. Without a common language and spiritual beliefs, whatever character of them, there can be no unification of a race and there is no common effort to protect and advance their mutual interests. If they become easy but protesting victims of more unified and ONE of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of Nationalism of any people or group of people with a common origin, as far as they know, is the diversity of tongues they speak, the dialects into which their language is divided, which makes a common understanding a difficult and often insurmountable business. Without a common language and spiritual beliefs, whatever the character of them, there can be no unification of a race and therefore no common effort to protect and advance their mutual interests, and they become easy but protesting victims of more unified and warlike people, often their immediate neighbors. It was that way with the Red tribesmen of the Americans, who were on that account unable to meet the European invaders who came separately as race groups and conquered them by the slow process of extermination by superiority of numbers and strategy, the tribesmen defending themselves as such a land not as one people defending their lands and polities. If they had been a unified people, speaking one language and having common traditions, or history, the Europeans, confronting them as national units, could not have conquered, and if so well as easily as they did. Now the Red Man is a negligible group in the Western hemisphere, and will soon disappear entirely as a part, as the polynesians and Malays of the Pacific and the tribesmen are doing. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1927 Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, Not always bend to some more subtle brute; We were not made eternally to weep.

He is suffering from bronchitis and asthma, the result of a recent attack of la gripe, and that he is a very sick man. Mr. Garvey has served two years of his sentence of five years for using the mails to defraud, and from reports he has been a model prisoner. And now the question is being asked by many fair-minded people if the ends of justice have not already been served in his case in the years he has been imprisoned in Atlanta. Garvey is said to have committed a crime against the government, just as others have done, in his burning desire to free his black brother. But whether he was guilty or not is not the issue here. It in, should not Garvey be set free now? His life in prison has been all that could be desired and, now that he is ill, it would be an act of mercy to free him—Fortland Advocate. Invisible Rays Aid In Solving Crime Criminals who alter documents with any ink that contains iron can be detected by microviolet rays, according to Prof. Bruning, Durham scientist, in Popular Science Monthly. Petal thieves who open letters and ransom them also are branded guilty by the rays; one kind of mutilation, for instance, gloves with a fluorescent light under the rays, while another does not. --- Good-bye. Cottonpickers WASHINGTON, June 3.—Like "John Henry" of yore, who mournfully acknowledged the superiority of the steam drill and riceter over his brawny muscles. Negro cottonpickers may look with apprehension upon the mechanical "fingers" which it is said will soon displace their deft digits in the picking of cotton. Experiments are now being conducted in Texas whereby cotton is being gathered by a mechanical contrivance mounted on a sled. The contrivance consists of long "fingers" which protrude out from the sled. These fingers strip the stalk and clean it of all cotton bolls. The fingers may be set down to touch the ground and thus pick up cotton which has fallen. The picked bolls drop into a wooden trough and the forward motion of the sled forces them back into a compartment where they can be carried to the saddle. With this contrivance, it is said that one man can gather as much cotton in a day as twenty pilots can gather by hand. C. P. B. Wheels in Use 2000 B. C. The Sumatraian, who lived near the Tigris and Nubra rivers, made wheels for their carrioles as early as 2000 B. C. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ABSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Dr. John B. Watson, founder of the behaviorism school of psychology, has a valuable article on "What to Do When Your Child Is Afraid" in a recent issue of "Children." He suggests a number of plans which many parents may well take to heart. Children are frequently afraid of the dark. Usually this fear is the result of some early fright. Often children have been awakened by a thunderstorm at night. The crashing of the thunder frightens them. They associate it with the dark in the future and thus show a fear of the dark from that time on. A good way to help a child overcome this feeling is to tell him you will leave a light on in the hall when he goes to bed, and that you will leave his door open. Do this for several nights, closing the door a little more each night. Eventually it will be open only a crack, and the child will be in an almost completely darkened room. Then, some night, shut the door. He will gradually have become accustomed to less light and will not notice that there is none. Do not tell him that he must go to sleep in the dark. Rather help him to grow used to it again, and he will soon overcome his earlier fears. Some mothers thrust young children into a roomful of strangers. Quite naturally, a child is awed by so many new faces. He is embarrassed, just as many older people become embarrassed when they unexpectedly walk into a roomful of total strangers. The child is frightened. Thereafter he shows a great fear of strangers. Mothers could prevent this fear in children by having them presented to only one or two new people at a time. With a little thought, a little fact, and a great deal of patience, intelligent mothers can do much to prevent and to overcome fear in children. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS So far as racial segregation is concerned, we hate it. It has no place in a Republic like what the United States is supposed to be. It is expensive, very expensive. It is the child of race prejudice. It is not our choice. It is forced upon us because we happen to be a minority group of the citizenry of this country. Therefore, if there is any benefit to come out of it, for God's sake let us have it.—St. Louis Argus. If you will even study the history of economic conditions in this country you will find that it is the poor white man that is constantly crying about Negro invasion. The truly wealthy white man objects to the presence of the poor white man in his midst as strenuously as does he the Negro.—California Eagle. In our critical crisis of a tense pre-dicament we cannot afford to retain the conservative ideas and traditions of our vallant but faulty forefathers if we hope to emerge from the bitter antagonism that is thrown about us, triumphant. We must reach out, learn and absorb the situation of our fickle environment so that we may be able to teach our posterity the essentials of the qualities of a better and more fit Negro - St. Paul Echo. Lynching will not be stopped by appealing lectures, strong editorials or essays on social ethics. They will be stopped when all the people interested in good government and the happiness of society decide to use something more persuasive, whether it be a more drastic means of bringing officers to a sense of their duty under the oath of office or more powder and lead in the protection of those who are victimized by mobs.—Birmingham Reporter. After all we are growing in tolerance of all kind. The first kind of tolerance is racial tolerance, once that barrier is lowered, all others account for themselves.—California Voice. While we know that higher education does not unfit men for usefulness if it falls upon the proper soil, yet we are often persuaded to believe that it unfits very many persons of our group, for usefulness and real service.—Atlanta Independent. Let's get the habit of speaking well of other Negroes and Negro businesses. There are enemies enough without ourselves tearing down any good reputation the race has. Let's learn to ignore the slave-bogotten environment. Let's be men, willing to earn everything we ask, and asking nothing on the basis that the other fellow has less deserts.—Kansas City Call. Extract from the address of the Men. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, delivered at Arlington National Cemetery, Memorial Day, in honor of America's war dead: "All people have points of excellence and are justly entitled to the honorable consideration of other nations. While this land was still a wilderness there were other lands supporting a high state of civilization and enlightenment. On the foundation which they had already laid we have erected our own structure of society. Their ways may not always be our ways, and their thoughts may not always be our thoughts, but in accordance with their own methods they are attempting to maintain their position in the world and discharge their obligations to humanity. We shall best fulfill our mission by extending to them all the hand of helpfulness, consideration and friendship. Our own greatness will be measured by the justice and forbearance which we manifest toward others." It would be a fine thing for the President to demonstrate consistency and make his courage felt in the matter of executive clemency for Marcus Garvey who, "in accordance with his own methods, was attempting to maintain the Negro's position in the world and help him to discharge his obligations to humanity," when he launched the Black Star Line Steamship Co., Inc., the ambitious project which inspired his cruel imprisonment. In the case of Marcus Garvey and the Negro race as a whole, this government has not proceeded on the theory that "we shall best fulfill our mission by extending to them all the hand of helpfulness, consideration and friendship." Fine and noble sentiments these from the lips of a popular president, but they are negatived by the very prejudice and national expediency which keep Garvey in prison—and his race from the exercise of full citizenship rights in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." And if we should now "measure the greatness of these United States by the justice and forbearance which we manifest toward others," it would be none too creditable. Opportunities for Our Graduates That giant of journalism, the Norfolk May 21, carried a challenging editorial enquiries that should be carefully read, and fraternal and business organizations, our other welfare agencies. Here are some strife. . . . It is a question the pertinency of what time, and not only engages the minds of people coming out of school but troubles the thought.

While we are to respect and responsibility, we must upbear employ them when they have finished. The philosophy of this editorial warrants perk and Guide as well fitted to mould the char That giant of journalism, the Norfolk Journal and Guide, in its issue of May 21, carried a challenging editorial entitled, "Opportunities for Our Graduates" that should be carefully read, analyzed and acted upon by all our fraternal and business organizations, our religious and civic institutions, and other welfare agencies. Here are some striking facts from the editorial proper: "... It is a question the pertinency of which increases with each graduation time, and not only engages the minds of parents who have sons and daughters coming out of school but troubles the thoughts of the entire Negro leadership. Aside from the demand of the professions such as medicine, law, teaching and preaching, where are the doors that will be opened to absorb our young graduates in any appreciable numbers into the commonplace but extremely essential game of carrying on the world? We, as a group, must face the facts as they are and strive to ameliorate this problem of lack of opportunity for our trained young people. The Journal and Guide has no patience with the theory of developing either a Negro or a white economic structure in the republic but would prefer to see the badge of color left entirely out of the scheme of developing this civilization. We know that the world would have been no much farther advanced had there never been forces operating to proscribe talent and training to the limitations or advantages of color. But cold realities impress us with the fact that as a matter of self-preservation we must erect and maintain an economic structure entirely our own until such time when the opportunity to work anywhere and live anywhere in these United States will recognize no racial lines. The question of making opportunities for employment for our trained young men and women is relatively a simple one. It is not confused in any elaborate schemes or formulas. Build, build, build our own enterprises; support, support, support every worthy business or institution the race is endeavoring to operate. That affords the answer. This is no sentimental plan for patronage for Negro business concerns simply because they are Negro. But the Negro cannot overlook the fact that his own sons and daughters, under the very force of circumstances, must find employment in and among their own group when they have finished school, and that he has a bound obligation to make as many, and as high opportunities for these children to labor as it is possible for him to do. While we are training our youths for positions of respect and responsibility, we must upbuild the enterprises most likely to employ them when they have finished. There is no safe alternative. The philosophy of this editorial warrants perpetuation and stamps the Journal and Guide as well fitted to mould the character of our group. A-hunting in Africa It has become fashionable or late for white race to go a-hunting in Africa. The hunter's mask, from careful study and obs the wilds of Africa that beckon but the uncle rich mineral deposits and the "Black Gole lined thick with medicinal herbs which hold It has become fashionable or late for those of wealth and means of the white race to go a hunting in Africa. This writer is never fooled by the hunter's mask, from careful study and observation he knows that it is not the wilds of Africa that beckon but the unchartered acres of lands maiden with rich mineral deposits and the "Black Golconda," of forests whose lanes are lined thick with medicinal herbs which hold the keys to many diseases medical science has failed thus far to halt, of unexplored regions steeped with those things which make for man's happiness and peace of mind. Eric C. Louw, Commissioner of the Union of South Africa in the United States, addressing the National Foreign Trade Convention in Detroit a week ago said: "There is more to South Africa than lion hunting. There is trade—real business opportunities. Some people in this country hardly realize that South Africa is a civilized country. Many people seem to think lion hunting is a Saturday afternoon pastime in Cape Town and others are frankly surprised that I am not black. The natural resources of South Africa are mineral, pastoral and agricultural. Minerally. South Africa is by far the richest country in the world. Manufacturing industries have been springing up since the war when the country found it was thrown upon its own resources and had to end itself." Here is an African of white parentage inviting the heirs of the very people who started the rape on Africa to come over and perpetuate the deed. For many years Marcus Garvey, an African of African parentage, warned the Negro that unless he makes haste and saves Africa for the Africans it won't be long ere the white raplists claim it as their own. He was scorned and ridiculed, so much so that today white folks are happy and prosperous from the spoils of our own motherland Africa, while millions of these same Negroes who laughed Garvey into prison now walk the streets in poverty and disgrace, beggars of the earth. The white man is just wild about Africa and refers to it as "my beloved Africa." The Negro is wild about every other country but Africa. He has lost nothing there he chants, but still looking for something in other lands that's hidden so far away from him by the white man his search is hopeless. "There is trade—real business opportunities," in Africa; not hunger, and poverty and dirt, but wealth and riches untold. This from the lips of a servant of the white raplists who are happy and contented in their "beloved Africa." Garvey still languishes in prison, but the truth marches on. Black men, what of Africa, the land of our fathers? What of Garvey, the man who dared? God demands that we answer now, and answer well. VITAMINS By I. B. Azafu-Adjaye Breakfast!—not hame and eggs.

L. MENCKEN (NING THE NEW YORK WORLD) Nothing more beautifully displays the imbecility of homo sapiens than the diversity of his tongues. All dogs understand one another easily and at sight; a chow and a St. Bernard, meeting for the first time, fall into amicable discourse instantly, though one may have been born at Nanking and the other at Zermatt. It is the same with cats, horses, cows, bullfrogs and ants, and even with human beings after death, as the news sent back from the spirit world by the late Valentine attests. But on the earthly plane menacing to their discordant and propterous dialects, and so view one another with doubt and suspicion and work up hatreds and engage in wars. It is almost impossible to get rid of the uneasiness that a strange language engenders. The man speaking it inevitably seems somewhat uncouth and idiotic, and there is a facile transition from the uncouth to the imical. If Sacco and Vanzetti had been able to speak English fluently and correctly at the time of their trial the chances are very good that they jury would have laughed at some of the nonsensical "evidence" brought against them. They might, indeed, have been acquitted. But the woppish gargling was against them, and so they got short shift. Now, having improved their seven years behind the bars by perfecting their English, they are treated far more politely and thousands are for them who were formerly against them. No counter interest seems to be strong enough to neutralise this deep-seated and almost instinctive linguistic hostility. The entente cordiale blow up on Flanders fields, with English and French soldiers ducking the same shells and jawing each other hopefully. The English went home con- Muse.

Vocal that the French with chinagements the French and glabriety to them exhibited that they were question. The American autocritic came home clashing both, for the English of the English was almost an unintelligible to them as the French of the French. What it means the human race in hard cash to jobber in so many different tongues is hard to figure out; it must run to billions of dollars a year. At regular intervals an optimist grieves with a new and easy artificial language and proposes that everyone learn it at once, and so put an end to the leam. But these schemes never take hold. A few enthusiasts are converted, and presently it is announced that a bright girl in Palermo or Cape Town, having learned Volapuk or Esperanto in four lessons, is corresponding actively with a young man in Buenos Aires or Seattle who learned it in two. But that is as far as the thing ever goes. In a few years the new universal language is forgotten and another has taken its place. The fact is that we are probably further from a universal language today than we have been since the dawn of the middle ages, and we are moving away from it instead of toward it. The revival of nationalism its everywhere working in that direction. Fifteen years ago every Hanseatic Czech transacted most of his business in German; now his children are studying Czech. The Walloons refuse to learn French and talk grandly of separating themselves from Belgium. The Norwegians revive an ancient peasant dialect and so strive to make themselves unintelligible to the Danes. The more visionary Irish plan to stamp out English in their country and return to Gaelic. And gobble of the same sort is heard from the Slovenes, the Finns, the Leets, the Basques, the Egyptians, and even the Corsicans. Moreover, there is an obvious tendency for most of the more important languages of the world to split into dialects, especially English and Spanish. The Spanish spoken in Mexico for example, now differs very considerably from the Spanish of Spain—to such an extent, indeed, that Spanishians find it very hard to understand. Its relation to correct Castilian is very much like the relation of the dialect spoken by the Appalachian mountainers to the correct English of London. On the one hand it is full of archisms, long abandoned in Spain, and on the other hand it bristles with neologisms, mainly borrowed from the Indian languages or from the English. English itself seems to be breaking into dialects, despite the heroic effort of purists to preserve its unity. South Sea Islanders Natural Wanderers Natives of the South Sea Islands are natural wanderers, moving about from place to place frequently. Evidence of this is to be found throughout the Solomon group, and especially on Yule Island, writes Robert R. Williamson in "The Ways of the South Sea Savage," says the Detroit News. Frequently a traveler will start out for a native village, only to find that the place has been abandoned, the occupants having departed to another locality, leaving their homes deserted. One of the principal causes for this is the belief that the spirit of a person who has died in a village returns to haunt the place, and that uncleas the tribe moves it will be cursed with bad luck. BURSE CHRISTMAS OF HAMPTON SCHOOL TO FIGHT DEATH RATE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The fact that twice as many Nigroes as whites are dying each year, which means twice as much sickness and double the suffering, as well as an enormous loss of man power, indicates the field for service presented to the graduates of the Hampton Training School for Nurses." Dr. Mortgates Lee of Norfolk Gained in his address at its fourteenth commencement. Dr. Lee, who has been active in civic health settlement movements in Norfolk, and who recently made a plan before the Interracial Commission in Atlanta for a constructive health program for all groups of the South, said: "Follow the golden rule in nursing. You're a work of helping humanity. Twice as many Nigroes as whites are dying. This means twice as much sickness and twice the suffering. Forty percent of those who die each year ought not to die. Get this message all over the South. Each one of you teach these facts and lead in the work of changing them. Tuberculosis among the colored people of Norfolk is five times as prevalent as among white people. People must be brought to realize that they have got to avoid communicable diseases. The housing problem in such that results are hard to obtain. Teach sanitation, better food for the baker, proper ventilation and proper bathing facilities. Trained nurses are the best leaders in this work." Dr. Lee was introduced by Frank W. Darling of Hampton, president of the board of directors of the Dixie Hospital and the Training School for Nurses, who presided during the exercises. Nurse Louise Stevens, a graduate in 1902, and now nurse for the schools of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, described the conditions under which the first graduates of the school received their training. "The new Dixie Hospital is the consummation of the spirit of the old Dixie," she declared. The class address was made by Nurse Roth Kelly, who said that ignorance and indifference to the laws of health were giving the nurse great opportunity for community health betterment, and offered a challenge to each of the graduating class. After repeating the Nightingale pledge, the graduating class was given diplomas by Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton Institute. Throughout the exercise references were made to the devotion for the Dizie Hospital of the late Albert Howe of Hampton Institute, whose son, Dr. Harry D. Howe, is now dean of the medical faculty. The graduating class roll follows: Helen Lewin, Yorktown, Va.; Ruth Holly, Philadelphia, Pa.; Aurencia Purdie, Phoebus, Va.; Rose Ford, Norfolk, Va.; Mary Mundin, Englewood, N.

Whispering Gallery Made Poor Cobbler Rich At the time of William Ewart Gladstone's death in 1898 a plain wreath of oak leaves was sent through the British Consul at Berlin in the hope that it might find a place on the British statesman's coffin, says the Detroit News. The sender was a Berlin shoemaker who formerly lived in London and who owed his success as the "Parliament shoemaker" to the Grand Old Man. In 1878 he had come to London and established a shop, but its returns were so small he did not have enough money to get married. While talking to his betrothed in the Whispering Gallery at St. Paul's one day, telling her about the sad condition of his finances and the hopelessness of their getting married, she gave him her small savings with which to buy some leather. The next day, when he took the money to a merchant he was surprised to be informed that it was not needed, that the merchant was quite willing to open an account for him. His astonishment grew to amazement when he at once began to receive orders from the wealthiest of London society, and his business so flourished that he was not only able to marry and have a comfortable home of his own, but later was enabled to retire in Berlin. It was a before he learned that Gladston is his fairy godfather, who, being in the Whispering Gallery at the time his dolorous tale was told, had heard every word through the remarkable acoustics of that hall and had arranged with the merchant for his credit.

The graduates are Carrie C. Kampwege, Washington, N.C.; Bone Ada James, Allega, S. C.; Bernie Burrett, Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Mae Churra, West Point Bain, Ph.; Alice Helen Thomas, Baton Rouge, La.; Armand Gwendolyn Jones, Cleveland, Ohio; Thelma B. Johnson, Oklahoma City, Oklaw; Veredio E. Storvann, Savannah, Ga.; J. Graco Harrison, LaGrange, Ga.; and Mrs. Amanda Hill Bowen, Annie W. Lee, Alice Nickerson, Lucie k. Owens, Susan E. Thom, all of Atlanta, Ga. Two of the number have already been placed, one going into community work in connection with a Congregational church in New Orleans, and the other entering the hospital of Moharry Medical School, Nashville. The commencement address was delivered by Rev. W. W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, and the diplomas were presented by Prof. E. Franklin Fraxier, retiring director of the school. Dr. Willie J. King, chairman of the Board of Trustees, announced that Mr. Frusier had resigned his connection with the school, in order to do postgraduate work at the University of Chicago, and that he would be succeeded by Forrester B. Washington, now the executive secretary of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia. Mr. Washington was introduced and expressed briefly his confidence in the future of the institution, and his pleasure in making connection with it. The Atlanta School of Social Work was established several years ago to meet the growing need for training colored social workers. It is an interracial organization, having a mixed board of trustees and faculty, and receiving the cordial and helpful cooperation of many welfare agencies of the city. Civil War Veteran to Meet Brother First Time RUTLAND Vt. Freeman York eighty-three, of this city, Civil War veteran, learned recently for the first time that he has a brother, John York of Bangor, Me, who is sixty. He will come here Memorial Day for the first meeting between the two. The meeting will be the culmination of long efforts on the part of John in looking through War Department records at Washington to obtain in- formation as to where his brother might be. When Freeman York enlisted at Bangor at the age of seventeen he was the only child of his parents. During the four years that he was in service his family moved frequently and he lost all track of them. After fighting at Antitam, Chancellorville and in some of the other big engagements of the rebellion he passed months in rebel prisons and in military hospitals, and it was late in the '60s before he returned to Maine and made a futile attempt to find his relatives. Years passed and he never heard from them, never learned that his parents had another child while he was fighting. John had been told of his soldier brother and tried for years to locate him, being unsuccessful until he went to Washington recently. He lost no time in arranging the visit. London Street Signs LONDON. To make the streets of London tell something of their own history is the suggestion put forward by a writer in the Architects' Journal. "The Activity of the London County Council in commemorating the residences of famous men and women," he says, "is worthy of all praise." Therefore, he thinks that the date of construction should be borne beneath the names on street signs. Bond street came into existence, he points out, in 1658; Conduit street in 1713; Belgravia Square emerged on the Five Fields in 1825 and Sackville street was built about 1679. For Regent and other streets that were rebuilt the favors including on the signs the date of renovation—for example: "Regent street. Formed 1820. Result 1928." Tablets are desired by the writer to commemorate non-existent and well-nigh forgotten landmarks. Our "Air Bubbles" WASHINGTON, June 3.—Scientists now can determine, says "Popular Mechanics," your race by weighing your hair. By using ten strands, each of the same length, investigators at the University of Chicago found that the hair of Mongolians is heaviest; that of the Caucasians next, and the Negroes is lightest, partly because of the large number of AIR BUBBLES it contains. Research also disclosed that a white woman's hair attains an average length of twenty-five to thirty inches, and that four years are required to achieve this growth, as against twelve to sixteen inches for a white man's hair. This difference, it is claimed, is not found among other races. The hair of women is lighter in weight than that of men. We rejoice, however, that the scientists found the excess of air bubbles in our hair rather than in our brains. C. P. B. SOUTH AFRICA'S WANTED Rutledge Agenda to Sanglo.

MINISTERS TO MEET AT HAMPTON FOR THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute will meet June 29-30 for its fourteenth annual meeting, according to the announcement of Rev. Laurence Fenninger, executive secretary. Four lectures on the problems of youth will be given by Rev. Howard Thurman, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Oberlin, Ohio, and Dr. Ginus Glean Kina, professor of homiletics in Auburn Theological Seminary, Auburn, New York, will give a series of talks on preaching. Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of music at Hampton Institute, is to discuss music in the church. Another lecturer of national note is Prof. Kemper Fullerton, professor of Old Testament in Oberlin Graduate School of Theology. The problem of national suffering, as viewed by a prophet of Israel, is to be Dr. Fullerton's theme in three addresses. Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlotteville, Va., Rev. William N. De Berry, pastor of St. John's Condegregated Church, Springfield, Rev. Channing H. Tobias, secretary of the national council of the Y. M. C. A., New York, together with Rev. Charles A. Tindley, pastor of East Calvary Methodist-Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, complete the list of lectures. Rev. W. N. De Berry, who through his institutional experience in the city of Springfield has won national attention, is to address the conference on the institutional church, in which the development of a typical institutional program will be described. All sessions of the conference will be held in Memorial Church, Hampton Institute, excepting two evening sessions which will be held in Ogden Hall. In addition to the announced courses time will be set aside for informal group meetings and for personal interviews with lecturers. Accommodations will be provided on the Hampton Institute grounds for all who desire them. The Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute was organised to afford opportunity to ministers of all denominations to meet for a few days of study and discussion of the great common problems which they are facing in their work. The annual meetings are held at the same time as the Hampton Institute summer school for teachers with the hope that a closer co-operation may be brought about between ministers and teachers. Unearths Early African Skulls L. S. Leakey, of the East African Stone Age expedition, announces that he has now unearthed portions of thirty-six separate skeletons, including well preserved skulls, of which twenty-six were found in the Elmentelta district, says Nairobi dispatch to the London Times. He considers that it seems probable from the type of the skulls that the Elmentelta group belongs to a somewhat more primitive people than that at Nakuru, discovered in December, and says that all the specimens are markedly different from the skull types of any of the negro races now in Kenya. The characteristic feature of the Elmentelta skulls is their extreme masculinity as shown by the muscle scar; and the race was very tall. The nose of the Elmentelta group are even narrower than those at Nakuru, some of the individuals having an index as low as forty-four. Japanese Beat Russians At Their Own Game Under the impetus of an impulsive idea, Russian engineers half a century ago built their railroads wider than the standard gauge with the intention of preventing any invasion of Russia by her western neighbor, says the Detroit News. It seemed unlikely, to say the least, that Germany could run a train with wheels 4 feet 8½ inches apart over a track where the rails were 5 feet 1 inch apart. In peace time the barrier proved an effectual one—all German trains stopped at the border. But when the Russo-Japanese war began the ingenuity of the Nipponese proved the safeguard of the illusionary one, so far as their end of the Trans-Siberian railroad was concerned. To them it seemed there was nothing easier than to narrow a relined track, so they brought the Rudolph lines down to their own gauge of 2 feet 1 inches and then moved off the ends of the tie or slopes, making it impossible to relay the rails on the broad gauge.

THE DOCKY SHING IN THE END OF THE BOOK HE WHITE MAN'S GAME: HIS VANITY FAIR "Black and white are proportionately bad as well as proportionately good, living under the same conditions and environments of our imperfect civilization. "All beauty, virtue and goodness are the exclusive attributes of no one race. All humanity have their shortcomings; hence no statement of mine at any time must be interpreted as a wholesale praise of, or attack upon, any race, people or creed." (1) Lying and stealing is the whiteman's game; For-rights of God nor man he has no shame (A practice of his throughout the whole world) At all, great thunderbolt he has hurled; He has stolen everywhere—land and sea; A buccaneer and pirate he must be, Killing all, as he roams from place to place, Leaving disease, mongrels—moral disgrace. (2) The world's history of him is replete. From his javelin-bolt to new-built fleet: Hosts he has robbed and crushed below; Of friend and neighbor he has made a foe. From our men and women he made the slave. Then boastingly he calls himself a brave; Cowardly, he steals on his trusting prey. Killing in the dark, then siouts he hurrah! (3) Not to go back to time pre-historic, Only when men in Nature used to frolic. And you will find his big, long murder-list. Showing the plunderings of his mailed fist; Africa, Asia and America Tell the tale in a mournful replica How tribesmen. Indians and Zulus fell Fleeing the murdering bandit pell mell. (4) American Indian tribes were free, Sporting, dancing, and happy as could be; Asia's hordes lived then a life their own, To civilization they would have grown; Africa's millions laughed with the sun, In the cycle of man a course to run; In stepped the white man, bloody and grim, The light of these people's freedom to dim. (5) Coolies of Assies they quickly made. In Africa's blacks they built a world trade. The Red Indians they killed with the gun. All else of men and beasts they put to run; Blood of murderer Cain is on their head. Of man and beast they mean to kill dead; A world of their own is their greatest aim. For which Yellow and Black are well to blame (6) Out of cold old Europe these white men came, From caves, dens and holes, without any fame, Eating their dead's flesh and sucking their blood, Relics of the Mediterranean flood; Literature, science and art they stole, After Africa had measured each pole, Asia taught them what great learning was. Now they frown upon what the Coolie does. (7) They have stolen, murdered, on their way here, Leaving desolation and waste everywhere; Now they boastingly tell what they have done. Seeing not the bloody crown they have won; Millions of Blacks died in America. Coolies, peons, serfs, too, in Asia; Upon these dead bones Empires they builded. Parceling out crowns and coronets gilded. (8) Trifling with God's Holy Name and Law. Mixing Christ's religion that had no flaw. They have dared to tell us what is right. In language of death-bullets, gas and might. Only with their brute force they hold us down. Men of color, Yellow, Red, Black and Brown: Not a fair chance give they our men to rise. Christian liars we see in their eyes. (9) With the Bible they go to foreign lands. Taking Christ and stealth in different hands; Making of God a mockery on earth. When of the Holy One there is no dearth: They say to us: "You, sirs, are the heathen. "We your brethren—Christian fellowmen, "We come to tell the story of our God"; When we believe, they give to us the rod. (10) After our confidence they have thus won, From our dear land and treasure we must run; Story of the Bible no more they tell, For our souls redeemed we could go to hell.² Oil, coal and rubber, silver and gold, They have found in wealth of our lands untold; Thus, they claim the name of our country, all, Of us they make then their real foot-ball. In the land we happen to tarry, not of us then become sad and sorry, but white man's country they say it is, with shot, gas and shell, they prove it his: when we do who love the Gracious Lord, when we watch and wait His Holy word: when we happen to be true, when we give the white man with his due. (11) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1987 (With Apology to All Honest Friends) From "Philosophy and Opinions," Vol. II. Copyright 1925. (12) This Christ they killed on Calvary's Cross, After His Person around they did toss: White men the Savior did crucify. For eyes not blue, but blood of Negro tie; Now they worship Him in their churches great, And of the Holy Ghost they daily prate; "One God" they say, enough for all mankind, When in slavery the Blacks they entwined. (13) Their churches lines of demarcation draw; In the name of Christ there is no such law, Yet Black and White they have separated, A Jim Crow God the preachers operated, Then to Heaven they think they will all go. When their consciences ought to tell them NO. God is no respecter of persons great, So each man must abide his earthly fate. (14) We'd like to see the white man converted, And to right and justice be devoted; Continuing in land-values to lie and steal, Will bring destruction down upon his heel. All that the other races want, I see, Is the right to liberty and be free; This the selfish white man doesn't want to give; He alone, he thinks, has the right to live. (15) There shall be a bloody mix-up everywhere; Of the white man's plunder we are aware: Men of color the great cause understand, Unite they must, to protect their own land. No fool's stand on argument must we make; Between Heaven and earth an oath we take: "Our lands to deliver from foreign foes, Caring not of trials and maudlin woes." (16) The privilege of men to protect home Was established before the days of Rome. Many gallant races fought and died, Alien hordes in triumph thus defied. Carthage did not crush Ancient Greece For their believing in the Golden Fleece. No other race shall kill the sturdy Blacks If on their tribal gods we turn our backs. (17) From Marathon, Tours, Blenheim and the Marne A braver courage in man has been born: Africans died at Thermopylae's Pass, Standing firm for Persia—men of Brass. The Black Archers of Ethiopia stood At Marathon, proving their stern manhood; Senegalese held their own at Verdun, Even though their praises are not now sung. (18) In the Americas' modern warfare The Blacks have ever borne their share; With Cortez, Washington, too, and the rest, We did for the others our truthful best; At St. Domingo we struck a clear blow To show which way the wind may one day go. Toussaint L'Ouverture was our leader then, At the time when we were only half-men. (19) Italians. Menelik put to chase, Beating a retreat in uneven haste; So down the line of history we come, Black, courtly, courageous and handsome. No fear have we today of any great men From Napoleon back to Genghis Khan; All we ask of men is "Give a square deal," Returning to others same right we feel. (20) With a past brilliant, noble and grand. Black men march to the future hand in hand; We have suffered long from the white man's greed, Perforce he must change his unholy creed. Stealing, bullying and lying to all Will drag him to ignominious fall: For men are wise—yes, no longer are fools. To have grafters make of them still cheap tools. (21) Each race should be proud and stick to its own. And the best of what they are should be shown; This is no shallow song of hate to sing. But over Blacks there should be no white king. Every man on his own foothold should stand, Claiming a nation and a Fatherland! White, Yellow and Black should make their own laws, And force no one-sided justice with flaws. (22) Man will bear so much of imposition, Till he starts a righteous inquisition. History teaches this as a true fact, Upon this premise all men do act. Sooner or later each people take their stand To fight against the strong, oppressive hand; This is God's plan, raising man to power, As ever sin and greed He makes him tower. This trite lesson the white man has not learnt. Waiting until he gets his fingers burnt. Milleniums ago, when white men slept, The great torch of light Asia kept. Africa at various periods shone Above them all as the bright noonday sun; Coming from the darkened cave and hut. The white man opened the gate that was shut. Gradually light bore down upon him, This ancient savage who was once dim; When he commenced to see and move around, He found the book of knowledge on the ground; Centuries of wonder and achievements Were cast before him in God's compliments; But, like the rest, he has now fallen flat, And must in the Lord's cycle yield for that. We shall always be our brother's keeper, Is the injunction of the Redeemer; Love and tolerance we must ever show, If in Grace Divine we would truly grow: This is the way clear to God's great kingdom— Not by the death-traps of Argome or Somme, When the terrible white man learns this much, He will save even the African Dutch. South Africa has a grave problem now In reducing the Negro to the plow; White men are to live in their lazy ease. While the patience of the goodly natives tease; They make new laws to have Africa white Precipitating righteous and ready fight: Around the world they speak of being so just, Yet, in fact, no lone white man can you trust. "And now valiant Black men of the west Must ably rise to lead and save the rest": This is the ringing call Africa sounds, As throughout the Godly wild it resounds: Clansmen! black, educated, virile and true! Let us prove too that we are loyal blue. We must win in the blessed fight of love, Trusting on the Maker of men above Wrong shall ne'er triumph over sacred right. Even though white men force it by their might! God in His Glorious Might is coming. Wonderful signs He is ever showing. Unrest, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and storms Are bue revelations of Heavenly Forms: The proud white scientist thinks he is wise But the Black man's God comes in true disguise, God is sure in the rumbling earthquake. When He is ready, the whole world will shake. --- (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) In Australia the same they have done. And so, wherever man's confidence won: This they call the religion of the Christ. And upon their willing slave try to foist. Only a part of the world can you fool. And easily reduce to your foot-stool; The other one-half is always awake. And from it you cannot liberty take. (28) (29) The Christian world is yet to be saved! Man, since the risen Christ has not behaved! Wanton, reckless, wicked, he still remains. Causing grief, sorrow, tears and human pains! Can we show the Godly light to anyone Seeking for earnest truth while marching on? If so, friend, let us tell you now and here. For love, freedom, justice let's all prepare! (30) (31) The Armageddon is gathering now; The sign is on every oppressed man's brow; The whites who think they are ever so smart Do not know other men can play their part: When the opportune time is almost here Black, Yellow and Brown will be ev'rywhere. In union of cause they'll stand together. And storms of the bully boldly weather. (32) Their gases and shots, and their rays of death, Shall only be child's play—a dream of Seth, For out of the clear, sleeping minds of ages, Wonders shall be written on history's pages: Our buried arts and sciences then shall rise, To show how for centuries we were wise: Silent tongues we kept, by God's true command, Until of us, action, He did demand. (33) Under the canopy of Nature's law We shall unitedly and bravely draw. On the plains of God's green Amphitheatre, Swooda, in rhythm with Divine Mater: Jehovah's Day will have surely come, With Angelic strains and Soraphic hum: The Guides of Heaven will direct the way, Keeping us from wandering far astray.

Not by Angels, but in their human tongue! The cruel masters of yest'rday are done! From the fields of battle they have run! A brand new world of justice is to be! "You shall be a true brother unto me!" This is a forecast of God's wrath: White man, will you turn from the evil path? There is still hope for you, among the good. If you will seek the bigger-brotherhood: Stop your tricks, frauds, lying and stealing. And settle down to fair and square dealing; If not, prepare yourself for gloomy hell. As God announces the sorrowing knell. Your lies, to us called diplomacy, Are known by us, a brazen phantasy; You imprison men for crimes not so great, While on your silly wisdom you do prate. The masses are soberly watching you; They know that you are false and so untrue. The laborers of your race you oppress, As well as black and other men you distress. If you were wise you'd read between the lines Of feudal isms and others of old times. Men have fought against ugly royal gods, Burying them 'neath European sods. Such to heartless masters the people do, From Syracuse to bloody Waterloo; Wonderful lessons for any sober man. Who worships not idols or the god Pn. In the vicious order of things today, The poor, suffering black man has no say; The plot is set for one 'gainst the other, With organization they mustn't bother. "If one should show his head as a leader, Whom we cannot use, the rest to pilfer, We shall discredit him before his own, And make of him a notorious clown." "In Africa we have plans to match him. While the native Chiefs of their lands we trim; The Blacks schooled in England are too smart, On the I BETTER THAN YOU scheme we'll start, And have them thinking away from the rest; This philosophy for them is best— Easier then we can rob the good lands And make ourselves rich without soiled hands." "We will so keep from them the 'NEGRO WORLD' That no news they'll have of a flag unfurled; Should they smuggle copies in, and we fail, We will send the sly agents all to jail." This is the white man's plan across the sea. Isn't this wily and vicious as can be? In other lands they have things arranged Differently, yet they have never changed. In America they have Colored to tell What they know of the rest, whose rights they sell; The Blacks they do try to keep always down, But in time they will reap what they have sown. No Negro's good life is safe in the STATES If he tries to be honest with his mates; In politics he must sell at the polls, To suit the white man in his many roles. The West Indian whites are tricky, too; They have schemes curved like the horse's shoe; There is only one opening for the block Three other sides are close up to his back; Hence he never gets a chance to look in Whilst staring at the world of mortal sin. Yes, this is the game they play everywhere, Leaving the Negro to gloom and despair. And now, white man, can we reason with you, For each race in the world to give its due? Africa for Africans is most right; Asia for Asiatics is light; To Europe for the Europeans, America for the Americans: This is the doctrine of the goodly Klan, Now fighting for the alien ban. --- --- (35) (36) (37) (38) (39) (40) (41) (42) (43) (44) IMPORTANT CONVENTION NOTICE! COMMENCING SUNDAY, JULY 31, AND ENDING SUNDAY, AUG. 14 Let justice prevail, at home and abroad; Cease over the weak your burdens to lord; You're but mortal man, like the rest of us— Of this happy truth we need make no fuss. All Nature's kindly gifts are justly ours— Suns, oceans, trees, to pretty flowers— So we need not doubt the marvelous fact That God has given to each man his tract. The common thief now steals a crust of bread. The law comes down upon his hungry head; The haughty land robber steals continents. With men, oil, gold, rubber and all contents. The first you say is a hopeless convict. While the latter escapes the lamby trick; That grave, one-sided justice will not do— The poor call for consideration, too. The rich white man starts the unholy war. Then from the line of action he keeps far; He pushes to the front sons of the poor, There to do battle, die, suffer galore. As the guns rage, liberty loans they raise. And in glorious tones sing freedom's praise. This is the method to gain them more wealth, Then, after victory they practice great stealth. Those who make wars should first go to the front; And of gas, shot and shell bear there the brunt: In first lines of action they are all due. If to their country and people they are true: When this is demanded in right of all. There will be no more deadly cannon ball; The downtrodden poor whites and blacks shoul join And prevent rich whites our rights to purloin. Weeping mothers, tricked in patriotism, Send their sons to fight for liberalism: Into most far off lands they go with pride, Thinking right and God be on their side: When they get into the bloody trenches, They find of lies they had awful drenches: The people they were all supposed to kill. Like themselves, had gotten of lies their fill. In the private club and drawing room. White schemes.are hatched for the nation's doom: Speculators, grafters, bankers—all. With politicians join to hasten the fall, By standing rights from other citizens. As if they weren't fit or true denizens: How awful is this during story / That we tell to men young and hearty. Crooked lawyers, friends and politicians, Corrupt the morals of the good nations: Between them and others, fly plots they make, Innocent citizens' money to take: From banks they find out your real account, Then have you indicted on legal count: Large fees they charge, to have you surely broke, Then, to prison you go—what a sad joke! The white man controls cable and wireless, Connections by ships with force and duress: He keeps black races of the world apart, So to his schemes they may not be smart: "There shall be no Black Star Line Ships," he says, "For that will interfere with our crooked ways: "I'll disrupt their business and all their plans, "So they might not connect with foreign lands." Black women are raped by the lordly white, In colonies, the shame ne'er reaching light: In other countries abuses are given. Shocking to morality and God's Heaven. Hybrids and mongrels are the open result, Which the whites give us as shameful result: How can they justify this? None can tell; Yet, crimes of the backs are rung with a bell. White man's newspapers subsidize our own. For to keep them on their racial throne: Editors are slaves to fool the public. Reporters tell the lie and pull the trick: The papers support only what they want. But truth, fair play, and justice, daily flaunt: They make criminals out of honest men. And force judges to send them to the Pen. Capitalists buy up all blank space To advertise and hold the leading place For to influence public opinion And o'er Chief-editors show dominion. The average man is not wise to the scheme, He, the reformer, must now redeem; This isn't a smooth or very easy job, For, you, of your honor and name, they'll rob. The bankers employ men to shoot and kill. When we interfere with their august will; They take the savings of deaf, dumb and poor, Gamble with it here and on foreign shore: In oil, gold, rum, rubber they speculate, Then bring their foreign troubles upon the State: Friends in Government they control at will; War they make, for others, our sons to kill. ANT. CON The many foundations of researches. And the foreign missions and their churches. Are organised to catch the mild converts Who don't understand the way of perverts. Our wealth when discovered by researches, In lands of the Native occupies Is surveyed and marked to the river's rim Till they dialledge a Pramprey or Abd-El-Krim. It is not freedom from prison we seek; It is freedom from the big crooks we meet: All life is now a soulless prison cell, A wild suspense between heaven and hell: Selfish, wicked people have made it so; To the Author and Finisher we'll go. Carrying our sad cares and many wrongs To Him in prayers and holy songs. This is the game that is played all around. Which is sure one day to each race rebound: The world is gone mad with the money craze, Leaving the poor man in a gloomy haze: There must be world reorganization, To save the masses from exploitation: The cry is for greater democracy. A salvation from man's hypocrisy. Out in this heartless, bitter oasis There's now very little of human bliss; The cold capitalists and money sharks Have made life unsafe, like ocean barks. The once dear, lovely Garden of Eden Has become the sphere of men uneven; The good God created but an equal pair, Now man has robbed others of their share. Shall there be freedom of liberal thought? No; the white man has all agencies bought Press, pulpit, law and every other thing Hence o'er public opinion he reigns king. This is indisputable, glaring fact; You may find it out with a little tact. College tutors and presidents are paid. So that in universities schemes are laid. (63) Cleopatra, Empress Josephine, Were black mongrels like of the Philippine: Mixtures from black and other races they, Yet "true" the white man's history will not say To those who seek the pure knowledge In the inquiring or college. Napoleon feile So did the Caesar Great Roman. Anthony lost his imperial crown To escape Cleo's fascinating frown. This truth the New Negro knows very well, And to his brothers in darkness he'll tell. The white man now enjoys his "Vanity Fair"; He thinks of self and not of others care— Fratricidal course, that to hell doth lead— This is poison upon which the gentry feed. Blacks should study physics, chemistry, more, While the gold God all such sinners adore; This is no idle prattle talk to you; It has made the banners red, white and blue. Out of the clear of God's Eternity Shall rise a kingdom of Black Fraternity; There shall be conquests o'er militant forces; For as man proposes, God disposes. Signs of retribution are on every hand: Be ready, black men, like Gideon's band. They may scoff and mock at you today, But get you ready for the fray. In the fair movement of God's Abounding Grace There is a promised hope for the Negro race; In the sublimest truth of prophecy. God is to raise them to earthly majesty. Princes shall come out of Egypt so grand. The noble black man's home and Motherland, The Psalmist spoke in holy language clear. As Almighty God's triune will declare. In their conceit they see not their ruin; You soldiers of trust, be up and doing! Remember Belshazzar's last joyous feast, And Daniel's vision of the Great Beast! "Weighed in the balances and found wanting" Is the Tekel to which they are pointing. This interpretation of the Prophet Black men shall never in their dreams forget. The resplendent rays of the morning sun Shall kiss the Negro's life again begun; The music of God's rhythmic natural law Shall stir Afric's soul without Divine flaw. The perfume from Nature's rosy hilltops Shall fall on us spiritual dewdrops. Celestial beings shall know us well. For, by goodness, in death, with them we'll dwell. AND HOW SAD A FINIS! With battleship, artillery and gun White men have put all God's creatures to run; Heaven and earth they have often defied, Taking no heed of the rebels that died. God can't be mocked in this daring way, So the evil ones shall sure have their day. "You may rob, you may kill, for great fame." So, says the white man, FOR THIS IS HIS GAME.

DIVISIONS Chicago Division made another fine impression on public opinion Sunday May 23, in putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The unusually large audience showed signs of deep satisfaction with the program, which was arranged to further impress the general public with the importance of the work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and of his release. The significance of the Chicago Whip in urging his release was emphasized as proving that the thoughtful Negroes were beginning to have more confidence in their race being able to do what other races have done, and to realize that our race would never enjoy its full rights anywhere until it has a strong central government in Africa to demand respect and protection for all Negroes—those at home and those abroad. The president, Hon. E. B. Knox, after calling the meeting to order, in his opening remarks tended the membership greetings from the Cleveland Division, which he had visited to aid them in a membership drive. He said that the president of that division, Hon. E. Y. Robertson, and his wife had consented to visit us during our coming membership campaign, and that Madam Robertson would remain with us throughout the campaign. The first number on the program was the reading of the front page article of the Negro World by the executive secretary, H. Balfour Williams, which was heartily applauded, followed by an eloquent address by Mr. S. R. Wheat and a song by the choir. After a few timely remarks by the Lady-president, Madame Annie Brooks, the president, Hon. E. B. Knox, delicured the address of the evening. This was followed by addresses by Hon. P. A. Glanton, Attorney Jas. G. Cetter, who was introduced by Col. Jao. R. Jenkins, and by Mr. Bent Sumlin. The singing of the closing anthem and the benediction by Rev.

VERNON PARKINSON GREEN-SLADE, Reporter. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1987 WHAT ARE THE OBLIGATIONS OF PARENTS TO CHILDREN AND CHILDREN TO PARENTS? SAN GERMAN. CUBA The second visit of Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President-General of the Universal Improvement Association, will long be remembered by all who are assisting in putting the program of the U. N. I. A. over in this town. On Thursday morning, May 19, the first train arrived at scheduled time, on which Lady Davis arrived, accompanied as on her first visit, by Miss Rafaela Thomas, a young lady of rare genius, her private secretary. They were met by the executive officers of the division under the direction of Mr. Joseph C. Clapham, president. It was a scene of delight the way in which the distinguished lady of the race was received. With her private secretary, Miss Davis was conducted to the home of Mrs. Esther Maud Graham, assistant organizer and pioneer of the U. N. L. A. in this town. Precisely at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday Miss Davis arrived at Liberty Hall at which the chaplain announced the processional hymn, and Black Cross Nurses under the direction of Matron Beatrice Cummings and direction of Captain J. N. Leslie led Lady Davis up to the rostrum when the opening ode was announced and sung. The religious formalities were touching, through the text of the Rev. Hugh Holder, chaplain, taken from Matt. 22:42, "What think ye of Christ." He thoroughly showed how this can be applied to the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and after the singing of the well known hymn of prayer the meeting was turned over to the president who opened the program. In his welcome address, besides impressing the importance of the gathering, the president thanked the audience for their support as there was not standing room in Liberty Hall. The perfect decorum was impressive. Miss Clara Stabbs, a member of the juveniles, rendered a soio entitled "Ready to Go." Her gentle voice, which merited a well-earned applause from the audience, captivated all ears. Inspiring and instructive addresses were given by Mears. James A. H. Thorpe, James Brown, Earnest Patterson and Monsieur Arturo Gulleisme. After thanking the speakers for their inspiring addresses, Miss Thomas, private secretary, was introduced. She gave a vivid description of the travels made by Lady Davis and herself on the Southern Lines. At Lady Davis' introduction to speak the audience rose and sang the first verse of the National Anthem. Lady Davis' mild manner butressed by her influential address battling the cause of Negro redemption, was highly appreciated by all present. A business session was announced for Friday afternoon, May 20. After many and wholesome deliberations, this session was adjourned for the same hour of the next afternoon. Lady Davis returned to Liberty Hall at 7:45 a.m. m. Was received with duly demonstrated formalities by an enhanced audience composed of members and friends of the organization. The chaplain waxed warm in his text comparing the call of Abraham to that of the Honorable Marcus Garvey for so colossal a work as the founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The opening address was given by the president, master of ceremonies for the rest of the afternoon. At this point Mr. P. Alex Higginson was introduced as the first speaker. His subject was "To the Point." His delivery was well applauded. Other addresses were given by Mesars. James Brown, first vice-president, and Earnest Patterson, chairman of the trustee board. The Presidential Hymn was next sung and the collection taken, and after a few well thoughtout remarks, the president introduced Lady Davis. In her address, not only did she give advice, but also gave well-grounded illustrations why we should think more seriously of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. She resumed her chair amid prolonged applause. This mass meeting was the greatest that has ever been witnessed in San German since the founding of the organization here. Many things of note took place. The chaplain's sermon was touching because he made special appeal for loyalty to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Many fair points of reason from the scriptures were noted by him. At the close of the chaplain's discourse and other formalities relative to his office the president took charge of the rest of the ceremonies. Two addresses of a tutorial nature were given by Messra James Brown and Earnest Patterson. The president then read the credential of Captain Joseph Nathaniel Loele as provincial organizer of the African Legions for the province of Oriente. This is a well earned credential. Captain Loele had been first to lead a procession under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the towns of Bames and San German. Not only is he a young man of military discipline, but he is also a true Garveyite. He ranks among the Negroes that fight silent battles for the U. N. I. A. All members of the San German community were pleased to know that the San German Division hold such a noble and deserving officer. Captain Leoah received his credentials NOTICE Divisions are urged to send in regular weekly reports. To ensure prompt publication, matter must be typed or plainly written on one side of the paper. Make your reports snappy and interesting by omitting all unimportant details.—EDITOR. amid the ringing applause of all. He is a friend to all in San German, and his work meets the approval of all with whom he comes in contact. The Rev. Hugh Holder was secretary for the election while Lady Davis presided over the election which resulted as follows: James A. Thomas, president; E. H. Wilson, first vice-president; James Brown, second vice-president; Joseph Clapham, executive secretary; David Buckley, treasurer; Mercelone Campbell, lady secretary; A. Gullueusme, secretary trustee board; Hervieriela Landsdowne, lady president; Lillian Sohers, first vice-president; Annie Dowell, second vice-president; John Archer, general secretary; Joanna Beal, assistant treasurer; E. Patterson, chairman trustee board; Rev. H. Holder, chaplain. Lady Davis wished the officers success in their offices and requested the members to give them special assistance. She suggested that the officers be installed at the close of the year of the division. June 6, 1927. Three cheers were here given for Marcus Garvey and three for Lady Davis. Here the rally song was sung. The whole scene at Liberty Hall at this time appeared as a revival of the division. All hearts blended together in "God be with you," sung with the pathetic waving of handkerchiefs. The solemnity of the hour was impressive. The National Anthem was sung and, with a special prayer for Lady Davis and Sissi Thomas, the former left for her night's repose amid sad goodbyes. On Sunday morning after attending to some business relative to some properties of the division, Lady Davis was taken to the railway station, where she was awaited by a host of members. KANSAS CITY.

J., when a monster parade and mass meeting was staged in the interest of the release of our honorable leader, His Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Before 10:30 a.m. there was hardly a vacant seat in our Liberty Hall. At 11 sharp the processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," was played by the professor of New York Liberty Hall choir. The service was conducted by our young acting president, Mr. Charles L. James, whose aggressive and ambitious spirit to lead is encouraging. The sermon was preached by Rev. Fisher of the Montclair Division and was wonderfully enjoyed by all. A prayer was offered by Rev. Lowry, commissioner, after which there was hardly an eye that was not in tears. The parade then began. We started from the door of our hall at 135 Broome street. Then Colonel Wattley of the U. A. Royal Guards ably handled the regiment, which won for him the admiration of the entire population of Negroes in Newark. We had all of our sister divisions present with us, Montclair, Asbury Park, Orange, Jersey City and Elizabeth, to say nothing of the Giant, the New York Local, who were there in her hundreds. We paraded through the principal streets in Newark. Fully 4,000 were in line and thousands cheered at the sight of the picture of our chieftain. The uniform ranks under the leadership of Colonel Wattley, the Black Cross Nurses and Juveniles presented a spectacle that shall never be forgotten in Newark's history. A sumptuous dinner was given by the Willing Workers Club of the Newark Division, which brought in good results, after which the president called the meeting to order with the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." Prayers from the ritual were said, and then the musical program, which was as follows, was entered upon: Anthem, by the Liberty Hall Choir; solo, "Keep Cool." by Mrs. Jacquette; solo, "The Sunshine of Your Smile, by Mrs. Carter; duet, A. B. C." by Miss Wright and Mr. Reid; piano selection by U. N. I. A. accountant, Mr. Rawlings; recitation by U. N. I.

Marcus Garvey's leadership. Sorrow filled the minds of the vast audience as he referred to the serious condition of our leader. A telegram was read by the Secretary to be sent to the President of the United States. It was moved and seconded and unanimously carried that the President be informed that we are behind Marcus Garvey's leadership. After which our esteemed president introduced the speaker of the occasion, who was as great in the eyes of the members of the U. N. I. A. as a Clemenceau of France or any of the great financiers of the nations of the world. The Hon. Sir Lesl rose amidst tumultuous applause. His address was well received and won for the Universal Negro Improvement Association Newark Division many new members and friends. The president brought the meeting to a close by calling on all for a silent prayer, for our leader. The National Anthem was sung. Thus ended a perfect day.

Nuestro elemento requierido en todas partes para que se una a la protesta de la'continuada encarcelación de Marcus Garvey. Candidatos en la próxima campaña serán considerados de acuerdo con sus actuaciones para con la raza. Alquilados políticos serán ignorados por las meas de nuestro pueblo. Conciudadanos v electores: Escudriñando el horizonte político y observando los racientes acontecimientos, no puedo menos que dirijerme a vosotros y llamar especialmente vuestra atención, hacia la campaña política que se avecina—me refiero principalmente a la elección presidencial. Los dos partidos, el republicano y el demócrata, los cuales rigen los destinos de estos Estados Unidos de America, estan muy ocupados preparando sus programas para la próxima campaña sin tomar en consideración un contingente de quince millones de hombres y mujeres de nuestra raza, cuyos destinos estan también inmiscuidos en los futuros acontecimientos. A vosotros, mis conciudadanos y electores, especialmente los que residen en los estados de Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania y New York corresponde supremo deber de velar por aquellos de vuestros años, a quienes se les niega el derecho del sufragio y se les asessina alevosamente en el sur, y no se les reconocen sus derechos civiles en el norte; es vuestro deber, repito, el delinear los planes para la próxima campaña presidencial, basándolos en los principios fundamentales de los derechos civiles y políticos. Pronto oiremos de labios de los oradores politicos, el que se vote de esta o de la otra manera. Hemos permitido a los partidos políticos en tiempo de elecciones, el que paguen a individuos de la raza para que recorran el país pronunciando discursos, sobre los beneficios que redundarán del patrocinio de tal o cual partido y del tratamiento equitativo que nuestro grupo será objecto si sus candidatos triunfan. Pero cuando la llama de la campaña se haya extinguido y volvemos nosotros a las ocupaciones diarias, y el Presidente y otros candidatos hayan realizado sus aspiraciones, somos ignorados aun antes de que los ecosdel triunfo se hayan perdido en el ocaso. Desde los dias del tan vencrado Presidente Roosevelt, nuestro elemento no ha recibido ninguna recompensa por su cooperación política. ¿Podremos depender del partido demócrata, cuyo baluarte esta mayormente circunscrito a los estados del sur, para que nuestros derechos sean reconocidos, cuando el tema vital del sur es el problema racial? ¿Qué razones podrá exponernos para asegurarnos que el futuro no será iuzgado por el pasado? Y el partido republicano—el partido que reclama la concesión de todo derecho y privilegio de que la raza disfruta. Si hay que que hacer alguna apreciación de ello, nuestra gratitud ha quedado mas de una vez demonstrada, con la cooperación leal que hemos dado a dicho partido, desde el momento en que se reconoció en el negro el derecho al voto. Pero no estamos obligados a patrocinar un partido determinado por una eternidad, especialmente cuando este ignora el principio de justicia de sus fundadores y directa o indirectamente aprueba el asesinato de nuestro elemento, mientras el negro ha derramado su sangre desde Bunker's Hill, primera victoria de las tropas revolucionarias, hasta No Man's Land, el infierno de la última conflagración mundial. Nuestro leader, Marcus Garvey, sufre actualmente en la penitenciaria de Atlanta. ¿Porqué razon se castiga a este hombre? ¿Es porque él ha despertado en nuestro elemento el espiritu de lealtad para con su raza, advirtiéndole que no debe ceder un paso en la lucha por la reconquista de sus derechos inculcados? ¿No es su confinamiento en la faz de cada apelación por clemencia un insulto para la raza? ¿Puede el partido republicano disculparse por su silencio, cuando otros cometiendo peores crímenes han sido favorecidos con la gracia del perdon? ¿Es posible de que hay alguien interesado en que Marcus Garvey muera en la prisión? Si vosotros no os unis para combatir el sistema diabólico de prostituir los derechos del negro y el de la venta del voto, será una cuestión de tiempo cuando no solamente se os encarcelará sin causa justificable, sino que también secuestrarán vuestros hijos del calor de vuestros pochoos, para arrojarlos a la pira funeral del odio y de la intriga. Al partido republicano hemos de decir que vosotros tenéis una espíndida oportunidad para dar ejemplo del espíritu en que fus fundada esta república. La semana del 12 al 19 del presente mes ha sido designada como la Semana de la Liberación de Marcus Garvey. Apelad a todas las iglesias, logias y sociades políticas en América, para que pidan al Presidente de los Estados Unidos la libertad incondicional del honorable leader. Vuestro obediente servidor.

By Order HON. FRED A. TOOTE Acting President General El escenario ha sido cuidadosamente preparado, eliminando dos así todo lo que obstruya el camino para la libertad de Earl Carroll, empresario de Broadway, y sacarie ileso de los tentaculos de la ley. Earl Carroll es un hombre blanco, quien hace algun tiempo celebró una fiesta en su teatro, donde hombres y mujeres bebieron champagne y como colmo del acto refosilante y de sabor prohibitivo que alli se celebraba, una mujer joven y bella y un bano portatil contribuyeron a bacanizar dicha orgia, cuyo maestro de ceremonias fue Earl Carroll. A determinada hora y bajo la dirección de Carroll, la joven Joyce flawley completeness desua, entro con cierto rubor en el baño en cuestion llenado hasta su borne con picante agua gascosa y los asistentes al acto hombres y mujeres a una orden del empresario, hicieron rueda y en fila circularon el baño; para observar los contornos elénicos que presentaba el cuerpo de la joven, cubierto con el liquido dudoso contenido en el baño. Las noticias de la bacanal reunion salieron de aquellos contornos y un agente fiscal concienzudo. moral y estricto, trajo a Earl Carroll ante el gran jurado de la ciudad de Nueva York. Y Earl Carroll mintiño . . . Declaro que no habia champagne en el baño ni mucho menos una mujer desnuda en dicho recipiente. Pero apesar de su perjurio, Carroll hubiese podido asegurar inmunidad, sino hubiese pretendido burlarse de una parte sensa del público y del fiscal del distrito, reusando divulgar el nombre del que le suministrara los licores. Se le llevó a jurico; se le encontró culpable de perjurio y le sentenciado a cumplir un año y un día en la penitenciaria de Atlanta. Sus abogados lucharon llevando el caso a la corte de apelaciones y desde alli al mas alto tribunal del pais, sin exito alguno. De manera que Carroll tenia que cumplir su sentencia. Fue colocado a bordo de un tren con rumbo a la penitenciaria; y Carroll dellicado, el amigo estimado de derrochadores y pecadores, el instrumento mas valioso de los millones que aman la belleza, se enfermó gravemente. La visión de los muros de una celda, probaron ser demasiado para su naturalaleza ultra-sensible. Se desnayó segun rezan las crónicas, estuvo inconciente por espacio de cuarenta y ocho horas, y se le condujo inmediatamente a un hospital de la Carocho horas, y se le condujo inmelina del Sur, mientras un público perturbado esperaba ansiamente los últimos informes de su camara de enfermo. Nadie sino parientes inmediatos y especialistas médicos alquilados por sus familiares fueron permitidos verle, mientras sus amigos trabajaban noche y día para persuadir al Departamento de Justicia que una atenuación para Earl Carroll era un asunto de simple justicia. El resto es de dominio público; y por lo que concierne a la opinión y de acuerdo con los planes preconcebidos, un gran grito se levanta hacia los cielos si el poderoso magnate productor de la raza blanca, sirva siquiera un día en la penitenciaría de Atlanta, donde su pobre humanidad se considerará perdida, ya sea por las dolencias que le aquejan, por desorganización mental o por temor a la comisión de un suicidio. Especialidades médicas han sido enviadas a examiner a Carroll y dictaminar acerca de su salud. Su informe, sea dicho de paso, formar la base de cualquiera acción indulgente que sea tomada por las autoridades. Pero en algún sitio er los libros de derecho es escrito que ninguna persona podrá ser perdoada, al menos que no haya empezado a cumplir su sentencia. Carroll no ha servido aun un solo dia; no obstante, las apuestas son de cientía a uno de que la penetenciaria jama le abrirá su puertas. Al elemento negro que pupula el mundo se le importa un bledo si Earl Carroll va a la prisión no o: pero necesariamente esta obligado a hacer una seria reflexión, cuando esté forzado a comparar el trato que se le ha dado a su venerado leader Marcus Garvey, con el que practicamente ciertoy se le conceda a Carroll. Hoy en la penitenciaria de Atlanta se encuentra un hombre negro, sufriente angustias indecibles físicas y mentales, siendo un 100 por 100 de hombre que intentó hacer un viadero para los negros y darle duradera conciencia y revestirlos de verdadera nacionalidad. El fundo la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, la organización mas grande de la raza; organizó la corporación naviera Estrella Negra, la cual capturó la imaginación de los negros del universo; levantó el standard de la conciencia de su raza, y cuando practicamente hizo comprometer a los suyos, bajo juramento, de dar su ultima gota de sangre, si era necesario, por un Africa redimida, por un Africa para los negros; y caudo la corporación naviera fracasó mediante la oposición y maquiavelisno del hombre blanco. fue llevado a presencia de un juez blanco y de doce hombres blancos, quienes le imputaron el delito de usar el correo para defraudar a los negros. Le enviaron a Atlanta a cumpli cinco años de prisión y en su ruta a dicha carcel federal, no se enfermo ni mucho menos fue victima de ningun procedo comatoso. Ahora después de dos años y cuatro meses de confinamiento, se encuentra que brantado de salud. Ni los méritos intrinsicos de su caso, la union de los hombres y mujeres negros invocando elemencia, a quienes se le suposo defraudar, ni aun la advocacy de su causa por hombres blancos liberales, incluyendo miembros del jurado que le juzgo, pueden convencer al jefe ejecutivo de esta nación, para que tenga misericordia por Marcus Garvey. Usad, negros, las fuerzas que trae consigo la unidad y laborad tesonaramente por recavar la libertad de vuestro gran leader. Si la temble-quera de un empresario blanco, un confeso perjuro. es suficiente para reunir ayuda poderosa que le salve de la prisión, nos parece que vosotros, hombres y mujeres negros, debáis hacer lo propio para terminar la trágica reclusión de uno de los mas valientes e inspirados idealistas que el mundo conoeldo.

Thomas Paine Hero Of Revolutionary Play BERLIN.—German admiration for American revolutionary heroes is manifesting itself once more in the tremendous success of Hans Johsak's dramatized version of the life of Thomas Paine. Johst parades the dramatic incident of Paine's hectic life across the stage in a series of stirring scenes, taking a number of liberties with history to intensify the action. Washington and other figures of the Revolution are portrayed with remarkable accuracy. Paine being depicted as the man who fostered the spirit of revolt with his pen and Washington as the man who carried the revolt to a successful conclusion. The drama's premiere in Cologne caused a sensation. It is now playing in half a dozen German cities. NEWS AND VIEWS OF DIVISIONS (Continued from page 3) C. R. May 5, the U. N. I.

A., newly organized under the supervision of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Inc., of New York, held a special mass meeting in Liberty Hall, through the request of the Hon. Assistant International Organizer Mme. M. L. T. de Mena, whose invitation was tendered to His Excellency the Governor of the Country, for his presence, and to deliver an address to the masses of Negroes, members active and inactive. At 7 P. M. Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost capacity. Not even standing room was available. You could view individuals forcing their way for entry. At 7:15 a procession with the acting officers of the Branch, Mrs. B. A. E. Aird from Panama, Rev. R. N. Whittaker from Bocas, and the Hona M. L. T. de Mena, all marching past the Legions, Units and Black Cross Nurses appeared on the rostrum, after which His Excellency the Governor appeared. The audience then rose and the Costa Rican National Anthem was sung and the Legions and Units went through their exercises. The meeting was opened with the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," Mr. C. L. Higgins, acting President, carried through the ritualistic part, after which the Hon. Assistant International Organizer Mme. M. L. T. de Mena, introduced His Excellency 'the Governor of the Republic, to speak. His Excellency then rose amid thunderous cheers, and made his obeisance to the rostrum and the floor respectfully by bowing with a smile. Said he, "I am not a speaker in the English language nor in my own, but I shall still try to speak to you in your language." His Excellency spoke in glowing terms and pointed out the necessity of the U. N. I. A. and dwelt upon the members keeping up their respect in the territory of Costa Rica. He said he had been a help to the organization in the past and as long as they are carrying on in the right way their respect as law-abiding people of the country, shall ever have his help and support in the future. He also dwelt very forbly on education and gave much other instructive and helpful advice. He commended the Rt. Hon. Mme. M. L. T. do Mena for her present activities in the country since her arrival, and wished the association well in all its proceedings. The entire audience felt well satisfied with the address delivered, by His Excellency. Mrs. B. A. E. Aird, field worker, late from Panama, was next introduced by the assistant international organizer, who delivered an eloquent address and had the audience spellbound. The next speaker was the Rev. R. N. Whittaker from Bocas, who spoke on counting the cost and the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Next was the introduction of the Hon. Dr. Salinas, the lawyer who has assisted to curb all of the lawsuits that have been running in the courts against the Association. He delivered a masterpiece of an address in the Spanish language which was interpreted to the audience by the Hon. Assistant International Organizer, after which the Hon. M. L. T. de Mena rose amid thunderous applause, first by welcoming His Excellency for his presence among us as Chief Executive Officer, also for his instructive address delivered, and congratulated the Costa Rican government for their protection and help to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Inc., of which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is its founder and President General. A program was then rendered of recitations, songs, solos, duets, etc., after which the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the National Anthem. Reporter. NEW ORLEANS, LA.

Jones; reading of the Negro World by Miss Volllison, which stirred the minds of the members to the extent that when they sang "God Bless Our President" the words seemed to have some from the depths of their hearts; remarks by Executive Secretary S. E. Buchanan; address by Mrs. Ellery of the St. Louis Division. She stressed the importance of the Negro woman in the program of the L. N. L. A. Selection by the choir; address by Mrs. Thompson of Algiers Division—subject, "The Work of the Black Women"; recitation by Miss Volllison, "The Black Mother," written by the Hon.

His address was inspiring and constructive as to the program given to us by the Man Marcus Carvey, National Anthem; remediation by the chaplain. We are, indeed, proud to announce the good will of the members of our race that are helping the cause of humanity for the suffering brothers of the flooded areas of the Mississippi. Contributions have been pouring into L. A. JONES. Reporter. THE PENNSYLVANIA RED CAPS HARMONIC CLUB TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, at 9 P. M. ADMISSION, 80s----CHILDREN, 26s NORFOLK, VA.

Wilson, also spoke in his forceful way, choosing for his subject "Looking Forward to a Greater Day." We also had with us for the afternoon Mr. Joseph Ward, president of the New Haven Division. With the determination and courage of his words, Mr. Ward spoke on the subject of the hour, "Save Marcus Garvey, before it is too late." This address was very inspiring and forceful to our members, and they thought seriously of the condition of Marcus Garvey. In concluding his subject, Mr. Ward bade us to work unceasingly until Negroes established a government for themselves. After the general collection the meeting came to a close by singing the National Anthem. (Minn) HELEN M'CRARY. Reporter. MONTCLAIR, N. J.

He has worked with us and is now suffering for us, that we might have a right to the tree of life. When I say the tree of life, I mean a mighty government represents the tree; justice, liberty and freedom form a part of the tree, its limbs. Therefrom we get life and its necessities. Trace history and you will find that any and every race in the world was once held in burgage; but when their eyes became opened they throw off this BUSINESS MEN & WOMEN Advertisers' Campaign Drive This Is Your Opportunity Your business will be a dead one unless you give life to it. The same way a man needs speech in order to be termed a live one, so does your business need advertising in order for your products to leave the shelves. Advertising has been endorsed by the President as the only means of success. The year 1927 is looked forward to as being one of prosperity, so you should be among those that have made up their minds to forge ahead.

What is the matter with the black man? America, the land in which we are living, was once under the yoke of oppression of the English law, and when she could endure it no longer wandered until they came to the shores of America, the home of the Red Men. Here they saw immense possibilities, stole the confidence of the Red Men by exhanging beads, hatchets, bracelets and rings for furs and many valuable articles that the Indians possessed. He finally outnumbered the Indians, and his sole desire was to have full control of this beautiful America; build up a mighty government, and perhaps some day return this same treatment to England. Surely he has succeeded, because his plans have materialized, and beheld, America is the richest country in the world. Now why try to stop the onward march of 400,000,000 Negroes to a free and redeemed Africa? We are asking nothing less than the Americans sought; therefore our cause is just, and we must win in spite of what others may do or say. Africa the Negro's By Divine Right To the Editor of The Negro World: Suppose the white people should come to the conclusion to quit finding us employment, selling us food and clothes, carrying us on their ships and trains, renting us houses to live in, etc., what would have become of us? I should say that we would die like ducks on a frozen lake, just where we are—naked, hungry and shelterless—irrespective of our respective class, position or financial standing, owing to the fact that any Negro is a Negro in the sight and estimation of the white man. It is plain and clear to be seen, as Judge Klein has said, why they do not have us in slavery just now is because it does not pay. It is clear that if such actions should be resorted to we would have to do just what the English people did when they were living in caves; that is, to beg someone to make slaves of us, or stay and perish. With the view of these possibilities I fall to see why every Negro who is in possession of the sense of reasoning does not fall in line with Marcus Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and its principles and be prepared to be on the defensive. Negroes, it is not impossible. I am beseeching you in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and God to put aside your ignorance. A PUNCTURE PROOF TIRE BR.

Are we not men? Why can't we endeavor to feed ourselves, clothes ourselves and shelter ourselves? I can remember listening to an address of a 100 percent Negro and Garvette. Among other things he said: "The Negroes are like young chickens—they cannot exist except the mother hen catches and calls them to eat." Certainly we take the places of young chickens and the white man the mother hen. On another occasion I heard the said speaker say that the Negroes are like monkeys—because the monkey is an imitator and the Negroes are only imitators. This assertion brought unpleasantness among a certain class of his hearers. But the gentleman is perfectly right, and in my estimation the monkeys are better off, for they imitate everything, while the Negroes imitate only the things which cannot take them anywhere. Wherever one goes he is told that it's a white man's country, hence it's impossible for him to attain any high position in such a country. For example, we would not live long enough to see one out of a thousand Du Bois he President of the United States of America. We would not see one out of a thousand De Lissera be Governor of Jamaica, and so on—not as long as these places are the countries of the white man. Why do I quote these two men? Because they preach a doctrine of "social equality and a letting down of the bucket where you are, etc." Therefore, while the Anastasis are declaring Asia for themselves, the Europeans Europe for themselves, Americans America for themselves, Australians Australia for themselves, let us, like men, join in and declare Africa for the Africans—those at home and those abroad.

Jan. 6.—Beer is better for the health than tea or coffee because of its vitamin content, said Dr. J. Lewis Rosedale of St. Thomas' Hospital, addressing the People's League of Health on common errors of diet. "Our valiant and stout-hearted ancestors were far greater meat eaters than are we, but they balanced their excess of protein with beer, which contains vitamin B and has a large dietetic value, instead of with the valueless tea and coffee of to-day," said the physician. EGYPTIAN CRISIS ON ARMY CONTROL (Continued from page 2) issue as one of the "reserved points" for future negotiations between London and Cairo when the independence of Egypt was conceded by this country in 1922, the control of the Egyptian army being of vital interest to Great Britain. The proposition to abolish the air-darship cannot be tolerated for a moment, official circles here declare. The recommendations of the Parliamentary War Committee, which it claims were influenced by extremists, are, according to these circles, aimed at the increasing possibilities of using the Egyptian army for political purposes. They declare it is a move to undermine the position of the few remaining British officers. The question has come to a head at a moment when the relations between the Cairo Cabinet and the British Residence were further strained as the result of a visit paid by Lord Lloyd on April 30 to Minia, where he was entertained by local notables. His visit has been followed by strong attacks on the High Commission in Parliament, where the Nationalists charged that he was seeking to acquire undue influence in internal affairs of Egypt. The High Commissioner met the move for the abolition of the Sirdarship by formulating meausa, regarded as necessary by the British government for co-operation in the Egyptian defense. British Rule at Stake A show-down is thus again threatened on the whole question of the Anglo-Egyptian relations with the Cabinet of Premier Sarwat standing out for Egypt's national rights as an independent country and Lord Lloyd assuring that the British claim control of the destinies of the Nile kingdom as the occupying power. In official circles here the sending of battleships is described as "the ordinary precautionary measure," such as taken on previous occasions. The fear L U C K FOR YOU Wear the Original Ancient Ring.

The gravity of the crisis is stressed by the fact that the present Egyptian government is ranked as moderate—Sarwat was premier when this country proclaimed the Egyptian independence—whereas the Extremist Nationalist leader, Zaghulil Pasha, was in office when the last crisis occurred following the assassination of Birdar Stack. On the other hand, Lord Lloyd, who was placed in the residency when Lord Allenby was superseded, has the backing of the now dominant section of the British Cabinet, which favors a strong policy in Egypt, as elsewhere. U. S. Envoy Held Backing Egypt CAIRO. June 3.—Although the contents of the reply of the Egyptian government to the British note regarding the Sirdarship have not been given out, it is understood that the British demand that Major General Charlton Watson Spinks be appointed inspector general of the Egyptian army for another three years has been accepted. Modifications of the other demands are suggested on the ground that the demands tend to alter the entire composition of the Egyptian army. The Egyptian reply to the British note was handed to the British High Commissioner, Lord Lloyd, of Dolobran, at the residency this afternoon. Certain factions here criticize what they term the "extremely Injudicious utterances" by J. Morton Howell, the retiring American Minister, in the course of an interview given the executive newspapers. These commentators assert that Mr. Howell indulged in remarks and expressed opinions that DON'T BE Unlucky! A m AFRICA Serve her cause. Golden opportunity for independence and big profile.

A portion of the diplomatic colony is said to regard the interview as a "decided breach of diplomatic usage" and debate that "more will probably be heard of the matter, since he has created trouble on previous occasions." Coming at this psychological moment, the interview serves to encourage the Extremists, as he "showers bouquets on the Egyptians," according to opinion in some quarters. Howell to Retire June 6 WASHINGTON, June 3.—J. Morton Howell, the American Minister to Egypt, will leave the diplomatic service July 6. It was said tonight at the State Department. Mr. Howell gave no reasons for his resignation, which was sent to President Coolidge some time ago, and action by the President was deferred until recently, when it was accepted. Mr. Howell first went to Egypt in October, 1922, as diplomatic agent and consul general. He was appointed from Ohio by President Harding. Later he was elevated to the ministership and has since served in that post. While reports from Egypt say Mr. Howell has aroused criticism because of expression of anti-British views, the State Department officials say they have no information to substantiate such BARGAIN WATCH This magnificent watch, 14 K gold good effect sale, beautifully encrusted with diamonds, accurate timekeepers, genuine american movement, guaranteed by American watch co., of prices of only $7.77 ($25.00). = FREE We give free with any purchase of a beautiful gold and good charm band name and address card.
