L. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES MURDERAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN WILL BE USHERED IN WHEN BLACK AND BROWN GAIN WORLD MASTERY White Writer in New York Times Says Yellow Races Will Overrun Europe and Force Whites to Make Last Stand in America—Numbers Cannot Be Withstood A THEORY THAT KEEPS THE WHITE MAN AWAKE Sess Formidable Weapon in New Race Consciousness of Black Race and World-wide Leagues—Out of Fusion of Black and Brown Races Will Come World Hegemony and Real Brotherhood No one need speculate any longer as to how the universal brotherhood of man is to come about. George Winter Mitchell tells us all about it in his article, "Perils of Race Color," in the June-July-August issue of The North American Review. This, according to Mr. Mitchell, is what is going to happen: The yellow races, at first under the hegemony of Japan and later under the leadership of the Chinese, will overrun Europe. These nations are fast learning all the military and industrial methods of the West, and in time will beat the whites at their own game. Even if the future should see a universal disarmament, it can only be a question of time until the Mongoloids have established themselves all over Europe by means of peaceful penetration. Already the yellow race almost equals in number all the branches of the white races combined, and at the rate at which they will breed under favorable conditions they will in a century or two outnumber the whites by many millions. In time, then, Europe will be overrun. Europeans who have not been exterminated will for the most part flee to America. Those who remain will be bred out, for the older race is always prepotent and dominant when it comes to a matter of breeding. The last stand of the whites will be made in the Americas, but it will be only a last stand, for the yellow races will then have them in the jaws of a vise. In the meantime the brown races whose education in the arts of the whites is already under way, will begin in their turn to make history on a grander scale than they have yet attempted. For many years they have been moving into Africa and have proved themselves highly successful not only in proselytizing the blacks but in amalgamating with them. Unlike the whites who are willing to admit the blacks into beaven but not into their families, the browns have no reguignance to intermarriage, and in course of time a real fusion will take place. By the time the fusion is complete, the yellow races in Europe and the Americas will have gone through the same process as the whites, who will then be no longer in existence. Democracy, pacifism and race suicide will have placed them in their turn at the mercy of the brown-black race, for even now the brown and the black races equal the yellows in number. The subjugation of the yellow race will then proceed in the same manner as the yellow race overcame the white. And these dark races have already arrived at a race consciousness and are forming world-wide leagues. So slow will the process be that the brown-black race, gradually changing both in color and other physical characteristics, will have time to adjust itself to Northern climatic conditions, and the whole world will finally be of one race and one color. Then at length man's obsession for unity will be satisfied, for differences in race, language, institutions and laws will no longer exist. Then and not till then can there be a universal brotherhood of man and a lasting peace. Nothing, apparently, can be done about it. It is to be, and that settles it. Mr. Mitchell does not tell us when all these things are to take place, but one feels sure that he could if he were so inclined. Perhaps it would not be good for us to have too definite knowledge concerning what is to come. Even the broad outlines sketched by Mr. Mitchell are sufficiently alarming to keep some of us awake for a night or two. Lynchings Increase, Notorious Judge Spurs Lawlessness, Negroes Held in Servitude in Flood Area by Order of the Authorities NEW ORLEANS, June 16. — Relations between the races in Mississippi have reached a critical point. There have been three lynchings in two months, another impends, and Judge Walter White of Harrison County has severely assaulted the Negro race while extolling the good qualities of the Caucasian inhabitants of the state. Judge White is the magistrate who attempted last year to prevent the reporting of proceedings in his court. He threatened to jail for contempt any reporter who published an account of the trial of a white man of the swamps for killing two game wardens. All the newspapers defied him, and Judge White did nothing. In sentencing two Negroes to the penitentiary for killing a white man who had stopped them on the road, struck and cursed them for having splashed mud on him as they drove by in an automobile, Judge White said: "The Negroes of this state go looking for trouble. They carry arms, the men revolvers, the women razors. When one commits a crime the whole Negro community protects him. On the contrary, when a white man commits a crime his neighbors deliver him to the law." Following closely on the lynching of two Negroes at Louisville, Miss., by burning at the stake and the impending lynching of another at Jackson, this speech has stirred the Negroes in many sections of the state deeply. At Jackson, 1,000 of the "best" citizens have agreed "not to lynch Will Coleman just now," and have signed an agreement to refrain from the outrage until a confession regarding his accomplices can be forced from the Negro. No action is being taken to bring to trial the persons who burned the Negroes at Louisville. NEW YORK. June 20.—Soviet Russia's aims and communistic philosophy were reflected by white and Negro speakers yesterday afternoon in Abysimin Baptist Church, 138th street, near Seventh avenue, at what was advertised as a protest meeting against the "forcible holding of Negro labor in the flood district," held under the auspices of the local branch of the American Negro Labor Congress. The Southern planner who raised cotton and foodstuffs on the crop-sharing basis came in for bitter criticism. A verbal picture of Russia before the present regime was drawn by a speaker who compared the Negro's condition in the South today with that of the Jew before the advent of the Soviet government. C. Jacleman, a Negro, in support of the charge made that Negroes were held in involuntary pervitude, read an order, purporting to have been issued by Mississippi authorities, instructing the National Guard to detain all Negro refugees in relief camps. It was maintained by speakers that the compelling of Negro farmhands and sharecroppers to return to their former homes was to prevent them from leaving the state. George Bellam, secretary-treasurer of the Textile National Workers' Committee, advocated organization of the black farmers as a panacea for "Jim" (Continued on page 6) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1927 King Leaves Liberia Secretly as People, Charging Fraud, Clamor for New Election The following sentiments are called from an address recently delivered by Clarence Darrow, noted Chicago lawyer, lecturer and debater, to a Cincinnati audience of 1,500 Negroes, with a sprinkling of white persons: "There were giants in those days"—there are politicians in these. White men accuse Negroes of being shiftless and lazy, and when they put in a hard day's work they boast of "working like a nigger." Negroes are dirty—but they are not too dirty to wash clothes for white people to wear: Negro women are untidy—but they may cook the meals that white ladies eat. The white man pictures heaven as a place where white angels snore in bed till noon, while colored angels get up when the alarm clock rings to do the celestial chores. I wish I might live long enough to speak to an audience of colored people on sorse other subject than color—but I fear I never shall. Human rights are founded, not in constitutions or laws, but in the feelings of people. Otherwise the law is of no avail. Under the Constitution of the United States there are no black men and no white men, but under the facts of life there are still masters and slaves. It is not necessary to pass a law to make a man a slave. If for any reason a man is compelled to accept work that degrades him either by the conditions of employment or the size of his salary he becomes at once a slave to his employer. I know we are all of one blood and none too good at that. Speaking for myself, as a matter of color, I am not white. I am an ashen gray. Color is a matter of taste. Some like green clothes. Some prefer blondes. If a man says he likes a blonde his wife is apt to be a brunette. There is no such thing as race! There is difference of color, sizes and various things, but all are conditions of life. When it comes to religion, people think the Lord made Adam first. The account doesn't say whether he was black or white. I don't pictend to know—still less do I care. There are people who believe the Lord made the red, black, yellow, brown and white man all separate. If that is true, then we're all alike when we get back to Adam. The Negro has been guaranteed the right to ride public conveyances. No colored person can ride a Pullman car from here to New Orleans unless that person is a woman and is caring for a white woman's baby. In almost every country in the world the colored man takes the back seat. There's one good thing we white men find in war—we are perfectly willing than to let the Negro be in front. And when he comes back after making the world safe for democracy we make him walk on the fringe of the sidewalk. Let the politicians work for your vote. Negroes have done it in New York recently, and lately in Chicago—and it has worked wonder. I advise you to get together and use your vote intelligently, for you have that in America—and the intelligent vote is a powerful vote. Monrovia, Liberia, and, indeed, all Liberia, is seething with discontent over the recent Presidential elections, but the cause of all the trouble is far away, vacationing in France and talking about "Liberia never playing Uncle Sam false, like Nicaragua and Haiti did." Charles Dunbar Burgess King. It will be remembered, was recently elected President of Liberia for a third term, his success, it is charged, being due to one of the worst voting scandals that has ever disgraced any country. Steps are being taken to have the scandal aired in the courts, his defeated opponent, Hon. T. J. R. Paulkner, openly declaring that registration rolls were padded and ballot boxes stuffed with the consultance of the President-elect and other officials. Immediately after the election President King, with his wife and son, left Liberia secretly, few of his dissatisfied subjects being aware of his intention to leave the scene of his questionable triumph until he was far out to see. News now comes from Liberia that daily the demands of the people for a new election are gathering momentum, and the President may find it necessary to cut short his Paris holiday. A recent dispatch from Paris says: PARIK, June 20.—Liberia is a tropical country which is waiting anxiously for American penetration and would never play Uncle Sam false, like Nicaragua and Haiti did, according to Charles Dunbar Burgeen King. Negro President of the world's only African Negro republic. President King is vacationing in Paris, after a strenuous election in his African domain. He surprised his interviewers by being neither a painted chieftain with flags in his hair nor a doctrinaire type of Negro publicist like Dr. Dubois or Booker T. Washington. Although born and educated in Liberia, President King speaks English and French perfectly. He has been in America several times, once as a guest of President Wilson. He is representative of that type of African who is outwardly Europeanized, but still is a genuine black. "I like to think of Liberia as a door "Black Bottom" Artist in Paris Weds Title Italian—"Sure He's Count, Looked Him Up" How Long Will It Last, How Long? The Negro World does not believe in the marriage of white and black—it has set its face firmly against miscegenation, even if, as very rarely happens, the white partner in the conubial contract is not of the penniless, ne'er-do-well type. Further, thinking people believe that no good ever comes of such unions, and that the Negro man or woman who is unwilling or unable to recruit a suitable mate from their own race, deserves to go through life "in single blessedness." Kip Rhinelander, white aristocrat, married Alice Jones, the daughter of a Negro coachman and a white farm girl, with what dire results all the world knows. And now Josephine Baker, Negro dancer of Harlem. "Black Bottom" queen breaks into the front page by reason of her marriage, according to the United Press, to a Roman Count—"a real one," Josephine avers. Says the United Press in a despatch from Paris, dated June 20: Josephine Baker of Harlem, whose vivacious version of the black bottom won acclaim and fortune here, has become America's first colored countess. To the aristocracy of Harlem, Josephine will add her count when she returns from foreign travel. Josephine married Count Pepito Di Albertin, she announced last night. The marriage took place on June 2, Josephine's 21st birthday, the dancer said. Perhaps recalling the noblemen who from time to time have been revealed as impostors in the United States, Josephine made sure of her husband's lineage. "He sure is a count," Josephine said in announcing her marriage. "I looked him up in Rome. He's got a great big family there with lots of coats of arms and everything." The marriage came as a climax to the spectacular career of the Negro girl who arrived here two years ago to star in the first colored review produced in Paris. Josephine became the star of the Folies Bierges, where her eccentric habit of dispensing with almost all clothing rapidly made her famous among the patrons of that show place. Now, Josephine dances at the Acacias in the afternoon, at the Folies at night and in her own Montmartre cabaret in the early morning. to West Africa through which American capital, manufacture and opinion may enter all of Africa," he said. Then he sketched the progress of Liberia so far, whereby many thousand acres of jungle have been turned into productive areas through American economic penetration. King George Decorates Hurnan Periscope That Scans Garvey's Doings The office of the British Consulate General in New York recently announced that W. F. James, pro-consul on its staff, had been created a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The honor was bestowed by King George V as one of those tendered numerous servants of the empire on the King's birthday, June 3. Mr. James has been connected with the consulate for twelve years. British Actors Move To Bar Negro Shows LONDON, June 14. — The Variety Artista' Federation of Great Britain has organised a movement to prevent future appearances in England of Negro or colored theatrical or variety performers. The movement is aimed at large troupes, such as Florence Mills' "Blackbirds," which will soon end its engagement here. Unemployment among British revenue material is given as the cause of the move. Detroit Employment at New Low for Year DETROIT, June 11.--Industrial employment in Detroit last week declined 9,992 to 182,648, which compares with 242,501 for the corresponding week last year. The past week's decrease followed a decline of 19,005 for the preceding week and brought employment to a new low for the year. Race Row At African Hospital Over Nurses' Refusal To Help Attending Native Surgeon In Operations On White Patients INDIAN STUDENTS PROTEST COLOR BAR IN SCOTLAND Association With White Women In Restaurants and Dance Halls Disapproved Of—Powerless to Act, Is Official View Given in Parliament EDINBURGH. June.—A protest against the attitude of certain dance hall and restaurant proprietors in refusing admission to their premises of colored men accompanied by white women is contained in a telegram of congratulation on Empire Day sent to the King by the colored students of Edinburgh. The telegram, which was sent by the secretary of the Edinburgh Indian Association to Lord Stamfordham, states: "Edinburgh Indian Association send greetings on the anniversary of Empire Day, but regret the color ban under which the King's Indian subjects are placed in this famous university city where they have elected to pursue their studies." There are 3,000 colored students attending the University of Edinburgh and extra-mural schools for medicine, the arts, dentistry, law, and engineering. Two dance halls exclude all colored people. One admits Chinese, but excludes other Orientals. Another admits all Asiatics, but the management has given permission to the dance instructors to refuse to dance with them. In two restaurants not licensed to sell intoxicants dancing takes place at intervals. From one of these restaurants colored persons are excluded, while at the other they are admitted, but not allowed to dance. "White patrons object to the presence of Asiatics," said the manager of one establishment to me. "We had to choose between losing the considerable body of regular patrons and having the colored people. "No allegations of misconduct are made, but quarrels have arisen in the dance halls among the Orientals themselves." Full accounts of what has happened, the students state, have been sent to the leading newspapers in the East, but the general opinion is that a mountain is being made out of a molehill. Question Revised in Parliament The color bar which has been introduced by certain restaurant and dance hall proprietors in Edinburgh was the subject of brief debate on the motion for the adjournment of the House of Commons on Tuesday night. Mr. Saklatavla, who raised the question, said he was informed that the same thing was being done in other parts of Scotland—at Dundee, Aberdeen and Glasgow. He appeared to the House to put down the practice with an strong a hand as possible, and said his sole object in raising the matter publicly was to show the people of India, Africa, and the West Indies that neither the House nor the best elements of Scottish life encouraged the idea. Dr. Drummond Shields, one of the members for Edinburgh, said he had no complaint to make at the subject being raised. While he regretted the action of proprietors of dance halls and restaurants in putting up the bar, it must be remembered that it is done by private people who ran their places for commercial purposes. The attitude of these people did not represent the feelings of the citizens of Edinburgh. Both as a city, and especially in its university, Edinburgh was cosmopolitan, and welcomed students and visitors from every part of the Empire and of the world. The Secretary for Scotland (Sir John Gilmour) said he could not see what official action he could take. However much one might regret what had been done, it was really a matter for those who ran these particular places. He thought that in the country generally there was none of that extreme racial antipathy that had been suggested, and hoped that the fact of the matter having been raised in the House would have some ameliorating effect. Good Progress Reported In Winter Wheat Crop CHICAGO. June 11.—The Modern Miller finds generally good progress reported in the winter wheat crop, where not permanently damaged. The crop is heading in all states, and harvesting in the early districts of Texas and Oklahoma is well advanced. A poor condition is shown in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, but in the main the outlook in those states is favorable. In Nebraska, the good reports far outbalance the complaints. Spring wheat growth made good advancement, and most reports state that the plants have strong roots.

May 5.—By resigning in a body, the nurses of Victoria Hospital, Mafeking, are taking up a firm stand on a question of color which may have far-reaching effects in South Africa. They object on principle to attending operations performed by a native, Dr. S. M. Molema, upon European women. The doctor, who is the son of a chief of the Barolong tribe and graduated with honors at Glasgow University, is the only medical practitioner in the district to possess an X-ray apparatus, and he has the reputation in town of being a clever surgeon. AS THE ROBBERS PLOT AND PLAN TO SAVE LOOT London and Paris Bury Hatchet "To Oppose Reds"—Colonies Enter Entente Cordiale—Franco-British Relations Were Never Better Than Now PARIS, June 20.—Following the visit of President Doumergue and Foreign Minister Briand to London, and the visit of the French fleet to Portsmouth, the renewed Franco-British entente cordiale has been signalized even more strikingly by the meeting and banquet in Paris of the high Colonial Ministers and officials of both countries, with a view to closer co-operation between the French and British colonial administrations. This meeting is unique in the history of Franco-British relations. The French and British colonies have been traditionally jealous of one another, even when the Governments have been most friendly. This mutual jealousy is now apparently to be ended. Francois Marzal, president of the French Colonial Union, declared that a common enemy, meaning Soviet Russia, is attacking both countries, principally through their colonies, and he urged a common policy. France and Great Britain, he said, are the principal guardians of international law, existing treaties, existing judicial order and of peace itself, and they must resist vigorously the brutal or insidious forces trying to ruin civilization. Premier Poincaré said there never has been more mutual confidence and affection between France and Great Britain than now. "Tomorrow, as in the past, in colonial as in all other domains, we shall know how to make this permanent agreement profitable," said M. Polcare. "We have neighboring possessions throughout the world. We shall improve their means of communication and their economic relations." L. S. Amery, the British Colonial Minister, said that while France is reviving the splendid Roman tradition on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, the British have been following the Saxon-Danish-Norman tradition and have been founding colonies which are offshoots of the parent race. In the African colonies, he said, both have the same ideals but different methods. The British policies are instinctively elastic, without a preconceived plan and the French are clear, systematic and logical and sometimes inclined to be too logical. The English are skeptical and opportunistic, while the French are intellectual and optimistic. Mr. Amery urged technical co-operation in adjoining colonies. The era of rivalry, he said, is gone forever. Lindbergh Air Mail Stampa Go on Sale June 18 WASHINGTON.—The Lindbergh air mail stamp, the first copy of which is being mounted in a special album for presentation to Col. Lindbergh tomorrow by Postmaster-General New, will be placed on sale June 15 at four post offices and the Government's philatelic agency here. The post offices will be at St. Louis, the home port of the Spirit of St. Louis and a terminal of Lindbergh old air mail route; Detroit, where his mother resides; Little Falls, Minn., his boyhood home, and Washington, where he spent a number of years while his father was in Congress. The stamps will be issued to other post offices as fast as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing can turn out a sufficient supply. --- signing in a body, the nurses of Victoria up a firm stand on a question of color acts in South Africa. They object on performed by a native, Dr, S. M. Mo of a chief of the Barolong tribe and New University, is the only medical prac a X-ray apparatus, and he has the repurgeon. The attitude he takes up is that patients have the right to choose their own doctor and that the doctor has right, according to the Hospital Ordinance, to demand that the patient is admitted to the hospital if there is a vacant bed. "I believe in distinctions of race. As to the nurses I don't even know their names," said Dr. Molema to me. "I most emphatically refuse to give an interview because, as you know, I am strictly barred from doing so by the Medical Council. But this I can say, that so sure is my belief in race distinction, when I returned to this country I married a woman of my own race. She was a school teacher." The Victoria Hospital is a small one-storied building with 22 beds for patients. There are four private wards, two general wards for white patients and two general wards for natives. The staff consists of the matron, two nurses fully qualified, an assistant nurse and a probationer, five in all. "As South Africans we object to attending on the doctor's white patients," said the matron in an interview. She said she had been with the hospital for 19 months and that it was eight months ago since the doctor brought his first case. Within the time that she been on the staff Dr. Moletra had handled 48 cases, but the matron could not remember what proportion was white. "What are your objections to the doctor's presence in the hospital?" she was asked. "We object to attending white women upon whom the doctor has operated, particularly when the operations are of a delicate nature. I wish the whole matter was settled as it is making the work of the hospital difficult to carry on. We require another fully-trained nurse, but we have advertised without success for two months. There are always one or two changes of nurses here because of the native doctor." The Hospital Board took the matter up last October, explained the matron, and for six months after that Dr. Morloma never brought a white patient to the hospital. Then he forced the issue by bringing in white women again. "On Wednesday morning last he brought a case of a woman into the hospital," added the matron. "I told him the staff would not assist him, so I had to go into the operating theatre myself. Dr. Molema replied that they were his patients and had a right to CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Cheking Catarrh and Head Noises Left the First Day."

Toote Introduces Several Members of Delegation and Makes Unanswerable Argument for the Release of Marcus Garvey Says There Can Be No Permanent Peace on Earth While the Negro Problem Remains—Marcus Garvey Has the Only Solution and Common Sense Dictates That He Be Freed NEW YORK. Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, June 19.—A great solemnity pervaded the audience tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local, for it was not only the closing day of a week of intensive effort to secure the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, but also the eve of the interview by a representative committee with Hon. John Sargent, Attorney General, at the Department of Justice, Washington, D. C. Hon. Fred. A. Toote, acting president general, occupied the chair, and introduced several of those who would compose the committee. He announced that he would head the delegation, which would go to Washington fortified by the knowledge that praying and hoping for their success were millions of earnest, forward-looking Negroes. He felt it was a great privilege and honor to stand at the bar of justice and plead the cause of their distinguished leader, who we bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh, and to demand the right and fair dealing that belonged to such as he. They were going to let the world know that black men had risen up in their might and they were determined to have Marcus Garvey back among them. They were not going on a cringing mission, but to let the Attorney General know that as black men they had come to intercede and ask justice for a black man who had done no wrong, except it be that he had underrated the malevolence of the enemy. They were going to let the authorities know that to this man, Marcus Garvey, who, God forbid, was accused of defrauding Negroes, the self-same Negroes were ready and prepared to give two million dollars more that he may carry forward the great and noble humane work which he had so ably begun in the interest of his downtrodden race and humanity at large. For who was so blind that could not see that any amelioration of the Negro's plight, any removal of the curtain of hell and hate from before his eyes, any permanent solving of the vexed question of race must redound to the peace of the world at large, to the advancement of civilization and to the glory of God? Negro Problem the Key to Peace There could be no permanent pe were mere frothings, transatlantic and olive branches painted on the the black man remained virtually ingenuity and brute, material strpressed into service to keep black to keep them fixed on a lower pla There could be no permanent peace on the earth, Geneva speeches were mere frothings, transatlantic flights by airships with "Peace" and olive branches painted on their sides were empty gestures while the black man remained virtually enslaved, while the wisdom and ingenuity and brute, material strength of this civilization were all pressed into service to keep black men and women "in their place," to keep them fixed on a lower plane of life and living. And so, with an eye single to improving solutions in the world and fulfilling the race's destiny, Negroes had vowed to follow a man called Marion Garvey, a man sent, they were convinced, by God to lead Negroes out of bondage and usher in an era of real Christian feeling.

Address:............................................ ago Jesus, the Christ, was persecuted and done to death, and since they were not of the opinion that he, not being divine, would triumph over the grave, since this sorely tried race, of which Marcus Garvey was the noble leader, needed his services here on earth, they were prepared to leave no stone unturned to bring about his physical salvation. Stood the Test Carvey had stood the test; he had abundantly proved his sincerity; he had given convincing proof of his remarkable vision; now he was suffering, persecuted by a heartless system, and Negroes would be rank cowards and ingrates, traitors to themselves, who did not now rally to the rescue. When that meeting closed, a committee, speaking directly for hundreds of thousands of Negroes of this country and millions abroad, would board a train for Washington, D. C., and seek to learn the reason why Marcus Garvey was being held prisoned and ask that justice, long delayed, be done to him. Prof. Williams Speaks First to he introduced by Mr. Toote was Prof. H. Williamma who, he said, was about to start on a tour recruiting support for the association's university at Claremont, Va. Prof. Williamma said he was very gratified to witness the splendid enthusiasm which characterized the membership of the organization. It was his particular desire to evoke much of that enthusiasm in behalf of Liberty University, feeling convinced that that institution had a great part to play in the progress and advancement of the association and its program, and the race as a whole. HON. F. E. JOHBON'S CONFIDENCE Hon. Fred E. Johnson, president of Columbus Division, was next introduced. He evoked much applause as he spoke of the splendid spirit of the members in Columbus, their steadfast loyalty to the Hon. Marcus Garvey and their determination to assist in putting over the program, come what may. He declared, amid cheers, that it was his fixed belief that that delegation, of which he was a member, and which was about to depart for Washington, would bring joy and happiness to the hearts of millions—they were determined to place Marcus Garvey on that platform. KRS. BRANCH IS INSPIRED Mrs. M. Branch, a civilian of Liberia on a visit to the United States, was next introduced. She told of a recent visit to the Men. Maruse Garvey and his wonderful good cheer. It was an inspiration to her, she said, to speak with the leader, and she would return to Liberia greatly enthused for the work of spreading the principles of Garveyism among the people. Prof. S. R.

A very entertaining meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, of lifting the offering. NEW HINDU SCRIPTURES TO MODIFY CASTE LAWS Leader of Religion Mames Committee to Revise Holy Book on Modern Lines LONDON, June 16.—The Hindu religion is to be modernized, according to dispatches from Poona, which say that the Shanharacharya of Karwir Matha, whose position in the Hindu religion is somewhat analogous to that of the Pope in Roman Catholicism, has appointed a committee of priests and laity to draft a new "Smritt," or book of Hindu scriptures. The necessity for suiting the religion to the requirements of modern life is the reason given for the change. His action is considered by the laia as the most revolu- ized Hinduism to meet the situation created by the appearance of Buddha. To what extent the caste system may be altered is not clear, but it is said that the committee will take up the question of "untouchability"—the existence of certain caste which must be avoided absolutely by others and which are not allowed even to touch any article which has been handled by a higher caste. The religious leader who proposes this reform received the European type of education before entering the priesthood, and although known to hold advanced views, had not before been associated with proposals so revolutionary.

Negro Saves Blind Man; Dies Aiding Horses PITTSBURGH, June 18.—Charles Bogus, sixty, a Negro, lost his life today in a futile attempt to rescue two horses from a burning stable, in Ben Avon, where he lived on the second floor. Bogus led his blind roommate, Charles Chapman, also Negro, to a window, where Chapman jumped to safety, and then descended to the ground floor, where the horses were leaping about in their stalls. His charred body was found beside the carcasses of the horses after the fire burned itself out. Women in Medicine WASHINGTON, June 14. — Of the nearly 7,500 female physicians and surgeons in the United States only about 70, or less than one percent, are colored. Women have demonstrated that in some lines of the medical profession they are better than men. Dr. John Stewart Rodman of Philadelphia declared at a recent dinner of graduates of the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania. He urged more women to go into medicine. "You women of today have passed beyond the pioneer period of women in medicine," he said. "You of today who are devoting your energy toward success in your chosen field are clearing a broader path for the medical women of the future." The first woman was admitted to membership in the American Medical Association in 1878, according to Dr. Rodman. —C. P. B.

Y One of the interesting facts brought out in a recent study made by the New York Urban League shows that of a selected group of 2,326 families, approximating 12,501 persons, 1,044 families paid more than 40 percent of their total monthly earnings for rent, an amount which is far in excess of what the majority of the group can afford to pay. The particular purpose of this study was to find out some of the social factors affecting the Negro in Harlem. As a preliminary basis for a possible through-going social survey of the community, particular attention is paid to composition of households, size of families, housing, length of residence, conditions of apartments, relations of rent and income, rental per room, average earnings of families, pattions of men and women worked to the problems of working mothers, one of the facts that are brought to this study are the following: (1) That 24 percent of the institution or every fifth person was an 15 years of age. (2) There was a total of 3.314 or more than one and a fraction of household. (3) 52.1 percent of the families had from five to ten persons. (4) 40 percent of the families had occupied their apartment for less than 1 year. (5) The average size apartment was that of four rooms. (6) 5.7 percent of the households were to be regarded as overcrowded. (7) The average rental per room for the unheated apartment was $7.50. (8) The average rental per room for the heated apartment was $10.46. (9) The mean average rent for apartments according to the length of tenancy since 1914 in Harlem has steadily increased. (10) 4.7 percent of the group paid between 10 percent and 20 percent of their monthly earnings for rent, 21 percent paid between 20 percent and 30 percent, 26 percent paid between 30 percent and 40 percent, and 48 percent paid more than 40 percent of their monthly earnings for rent. (11) 15.8 percent or 209 of these families reported total earnings of $75 or less per month, 96.8 percent of the total number of families reported total earnings of less than $150 per month, while less than 10 percent earned $200 or more per month. (12) Mothers and wives were employed in 53.5 percent of the families visited. (13) Less than 8 percent of the women employed worked in the home only. (14) Less than 10 percent of the women added $20 per month to the family income. (15) Figures of the 1920 census show that 60 percent of all the Negro women in New York are gainfully employed, a percent larger than that of any other racial group. An analysis of the answers given by working mothers as to the disposition of their children while they worked reveals the following: 23 in day nurseries, 56 able to take care of themselves, 34 are told to remain around the school, 19 are in the streets, 27 go to the library, 129 are left with relatives or friends, 41 are left at home alone, 8 are in their father's care, 37 are placed in private homes for the day. Japan Has $950,000,000 Invested in China TOKIO. Japan's investment in China may roughly be valued at $950,000,000, a larger amount than that of any other nation. The British share in China's trade is about 22 percent; Japan's 31 percent. Britain's investment in industries in the Yangtze territory, generally regarded as her special sphere, is valued at only $45,000,000, while Japan's is $155,000,000. In Shanghai, Hankow, Tientsin and Tsingtau Japan has invested $115,000,000 in the spinning and $55,000,000 in other industries and $25,500,000 in navigation. Japan's investment in Manchuria in railway and other means of transport amounts to $165,000,000; in commerce, $57,500,000; in manufacturing industries, $37,000,000; agriculture, $9,500,000; mining, $4,000,000; fishery, $7,500,000; real estate, $75,000,000; banking and miscellaneous, $313,000,000. Also, Japan has loaned the Pekin Government as well as Provincial Governments a total of about $250,000,000.

LONDON, June 19.—The intention of Great Britain to negotiate a new treaty with Egypt, granting it wider autonomy, was revealed today in connection with the Egyptian legation's announcement of King Fuad's visit here, arranged for July 4. The monarch's visit will be the occasion of preliminary discussions. The British proposal is understood to grant three important desires of Egyptian lenders. It would concede the full competence of Cairo in all domestic affairs and guarantee Egypt's share of the Nile waters and the satisfaction of her financial claims on the Sudan. In return, Great Britain would require that the Egyptian Government commit itself to the perpetual freedom of the Suez Canal and make arrangements for the security of foreign life and capital on which Great Britain could depend. Finally, the two parties would sign a kind of Joint Monroe Doctrine, providing that no third party shall ever be allowed to interfere in Egypt. Egyptian guarantees to foreign interests and the defense of Egypt against foreign aggression are considered to have been considerably furthered by the settlement of the dispute between Lord Lloyd and Scarwat Pasha over the competence of the British Inspector General's control of the Egyptian Army. A friendlier atmosphere in Cairo is noted by diplomatic circles here, and some hopes have artifice of eliminating the differences between the two countries for the past five years. Fuad left Calro Friday for Alexandria, where he will spend a fortnight and then go to London. His visit has been the subject of considerable opposition by home politicians, and the announcement of a definite date is itself taken here as a sign that the Wafd (the party of Zaghil Pasha) is convinced that friendlier relations with Great Britain are the better policy. Skeleton of a Child Of Last Glacial Epoch CHICAGO, June 17.—The skeleton of a child about six years old found in Mechta-el-Aref, Algeria, by Dr. Alonzo W. Pond of Bolot University, is believed to have belonged to a race hitherto unknown and that lived in the last glacial epoch. Prof. Fay Cooper Cole of the University of Chicago, who is studying the odd skeleton, said it does not conform closely to the Neandertal, Cromagnon or Grimaldi races, which were known to have been in Europe or northern Africa in late glacial times. The skeleton is very well preserved, and shows a child with a short head, a good cranial development, wide check bones and a strong chin. Viewed from above the skull is pear shaped. The exact geological age of the skeleton cannot be determined. Prof. Cole said, until the bones of animals and skeletons of land snails, as well as implements found with it, are studied. Wool cloth contains about twenty-five threads down and twenty-five across to the inch, so that a square yard is composed of 1,500 threads, each a yard long. Linen and cotton goods have eighty to 100 threads each way to the inch. Thus a single handkerchief may contain 2,400 strands each 15 inches long, or 1,000 yards of cotton thread. A shirt represents about three miles of thread. Negro Wine Point in Battle as Judge Overrules Demurrier to His Mandamus Petition Unless the Board of Education of Berkeley Township, Ocean County, N. J., files a defense in the Supreme Court by July 1, a peremptory order of mandamus will be allowed granting the admission of Negro children to the township's schools. This order was issued by Supreme Court Justice Parker after dismissing a demurrier to a mandamus action brought by John F. Ratson, a Negro, to compel the board to admit his son and other Negro children to the schools. The board had argued that Ralison had not resorted to other remedies before appealing to the court and should have brought his case to State Education Commissioner Logan. Ralison has laid the facts before Commissioner Logan and is waiting his decision. Justice Parker decided Ralison was within his right by appealing direct to the court. "Where a child of school age is excluded from public schools solely on the ground of color," said Justice Parker, "and it is not a question of the particular school to which it is assigned as a mere matter of convenience, it is not necessary to assert his rights in the first instance through the proceeding provided by the school law, but resort may be had at once to mandamus." Belgium Not Ashamed To Mention "Congo" (From The New York Tribune) BRUSSELS, June 14.—The fifthth anniversary of Henry M. Stanley's discovery of the Congo will be celebrated here Friday in an all-day program under the auspices of the Cercle Africain. The services will open with an address before King Albert of the Belgians by Colonel Liebrechts, who accompanied Stanley on his second voyage. A dinner in the evening will conclude the program. The Herald Tribune has been invited by M. Van Hulst, president of the Cercle Africain, to participate in the anniversary celebration, together with the representatives of The London Telegraph, which co-operated in the historic explorations. The New York Herald, which, under the ownership of James Gordon Bennett, was the chief backer of Stanley's first expedition, was consolidated several years ago with the Tribune. German Composer Unknown to Berlin BERLIN.—Willem van Hoogstraten conductor of the Portland, Ore., Symphony Orchestra and of the summer concerts given by the New York Philharmonic, found to his surprise that he was called upon to acquaint the Germans with one of their own composers. Coming to Berlin to conduct a concert of the Berlin Philharmonic at which his wife, Elly Ney, was the soloist, he chose a piano concert by Ernst Toch, a composer living in Mannheim, Germany, for one of the numbers. It was then discovered that this would be a premiere rendition. While the Toch concert is not unknown to American audiences, it proved a surprise for the Berliners. Just take a dose.

Patton, director of the American Church Institute for Negroes, is trying to solve the so-called "Race Problem" in the South through the training of an educated Negro leadership. Training schools are being established in each of the fifteen southern states. The school at Fort Valley, Ga., was founded 25 years ago, and thus for ten states have founded one each. This plan, which represents the national interests of the Episcopal Church in the education of colored people, has the support of the general education board of the Rockefeller Foundation, which has donated $200,000 toward the institute's $600,000 building and equipment program. Chicago has pledged $35,000 for a practice building, and Ohio has donated $75,000 for another. Infant Death Rate Worries French Officials PARIS.—The legend of France's declining birth rate is belied by the preliminary vital statistics for 1926, now available. The number of births in 1926 was 766,266, or 15.8 per 1,000, against 790,255, or 19.1 per 1,000, in 1913. What, however, causes serious disquiet to the health authorities is the abruptly high infant death rate as compared with other European countries. The number of children dying below the age of one year in 1926 was 74,498, against 65,367 in 1925. In some departments, notably in the mountainous regions of the center, the increase in the infant death rate from one year to the other exceeded 40 percent.

This is likely to prove, however, to be one of those deceptive calms which generally-precede a storm of some importance. For it is obvious even to Navy officials who still manage the islanda' governmental affairs that the grant of citizenship status while withholding the powers and practice of self-government will only serve to make the islanders more keenly conscious of the motherry which lies on the very face of such a contradiction. If non-citizens felt keenly the sting of being governed by the Navy Department, how much more keenly must this be felt and resented by American citizens? The only group which has been so far benefited directly by the Congressional grant of citizenship is the one made up of those Virgin Islanders who live upon the mainland where citizenship carries with it automatically the right to vote for or against candidates for public office, the right to take part in enacting the laws under which they live and the right to determine by their votes the amount of taxes which are assessed against their own property. To these rights and privileges these Virgin Islanders in America have now fallen heirs. They who before the enactment by Congress were neither citizens nor aliens can now have their names registered and enrolled on the electoral lists and can go to the polls and vote. For we take it that the provision of the law which requires them to register their intentions to avail themselves of the new Negro Murder Suspect Kept Safe from Mob BALTIMORE. June 14.—Fearing that infuriated residents might storm the Frederick county jail and attempt a lynching Sheriff William C. Roderick brought Henry Ross, 23 years old, a Negro, alleged murderer of Mrs. Lottie L. McElfresh, 39, near Thurmont yesterday, to the Baltimore city jail. Ross, authorities allege, killed Mrs. Elfresh with an ax after he had been thwarted in an attempted assault. Her body was found in the yard of their home by her husband, Dorsey McElfresh, county road foreman, when he returned for lunch. Ross was suspected. a sheriff's posse found him hiding behind a pile of driftwood on the bank of the Monocacy River. A pistol cracked and two fingers on the hand of one of the posse were shot off. It is believed the shot was intended for the Negro. Mexico Has World's Most Palatial Train The world's most palatial train was recently turned over to Mexican authorities for delivery to President Coles of that country. It is to replace the Mexican Presidential train which has been in service since 1857. Designed in the architecture of old Mexico, the new five-car train cost the government $335,000, says the Pathfinder. A sixth coach, built especially for the Secretary of War of Mexico, was delivered at the same time. The Presidential car is said to be the most elaborate in existence. It contains a suite for the President, one for his wife, and a reception room for the new mobile "White House of Mexico." The other cars are an auto car, an escort car for the military guard, a staff car for the aids to the President and a dining saloon and kitchen car. stations before they exercise it will be sufficiently met by the regular enrollment which precedes voting in New York and elsewhere. From them, therefore, there will go up a sigh of gasoline relief, but from their himione in the Caribbean there can come none until Congress completes its job and free them from the snatches of servitude to a war-making section of the administration and puts them in their proper organic relationship to the law-making section. Indeed, it may well be argued whether the United States Navy is any part of the United States Government. It is certainly one of the instruments without which our government could not carry on its work. But so are the Army, the Bureau of Forestry, the Diplomatic Service and the Department of Justice. But none of these is entrusted with the government of either dependencies, or aggregations of citizens, and Virgin Islanders see no reason why as citizens they should be sailors on land. If Porto Rico has a civil government there seems no ground in common sense for refusing a similar form of government to the Virgin Islands. In fact, the Virgin Islands should seem to have even a higher claim to consideration in this respect. For they were peacefully acquired by treaty and purchase under distinct guarantees, while Porto Rico was one of the spoils of our war with Spain. Whatever reasons may obtain for the present civil status in Porto Rico will be found to apply with even greater force and cogency for a similar status in St. John's, St. Thomas and St. Croix, and upon this is acknowledged and acted on in Washington the agitation on behalf of civil government in the Virgin Islands must go on with renewed vigor.

J., Bars Moscow Art Movie "Freedom of the Screen" has now become a patriotic issue in Paterson, New Jersey. The Paterson Board of Education last week revoked the permit granted Workmen's Circle No. 16 to show the motion picture "Breaking Chains" in a school building, fearing the effect of any picture "that deals with revolution," as Commissioner Livingatone, in charge of the school, put it. The Workmen's Circle had already prepared tickets and advertising when the previously granted permit was revoked. "Breaking Chains" was produced by the Moscow Art Theatre, internationally known for its artistic presentations. It is built around the death of Lenin and part of it dramatizes a Soviet group in action. In this country it is distributed by the International Workers' Aid, which brought Polycunka" and other exceptional pictures to this country. It was passed by the National Board of Review and the New York State Motion Picture Commission, which is under control of the State Department of Education. Y. W. C. A.

The principal allegation Fort Wayne newspapers made against them was that they are members of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation. Local patrioteers took the stand that this organization is connected with the Communist Party and other allegedly subversive movements through "interlooking directorates." Miss Jones and Miss Ellis after many weeks of resisting the onslaughts of the "patriota" offered their resignations, fearing that the attacks might be prejudicial to the Y. W. C. A. The board promptly accepted both resignations. Englishman a Power In Japan 300 Years Ago Aboard a Dutch ship that visited Japan in 1600 was an Englishman, Will Adams, serving as pilot major, who deserves fame because he seems to have been the first European to win the complete confidence of the Japanese authorities, says the Detroit News. When Adams was summoned to Osaka to explain his presence in the country the interview between the regent of the country, a typical Japanese of fudal ideas, and the bluff English sailor must have been a curious one, yet the odd pair struck up a firm friendship that lasted for twenty years. Adama's knowledge of ships and navigation probably made a deep impression upon the regent, for the sailor was given an estate, made chief shipbuilder to the government and was employed to confer with English and Dutch traders who had begun to find their way to Japan. Adama wanted to go home, but the Japanese refused to allow him to leave the country. Otherwise he was treated generously. He married a Japanese woman, children were born to them, and as the years passed he thought less and less of Burma. He lived like a feudal lord on the great estate that had been given to him, with absolute power over his scores of earth. He died in 1609. In Tekio today there is a street called Angin Che (Pilot street), in honor of Adama. Commencement addresses research through the land. College presidents visiting celebrities, brow the wisdom they have acquired, during long lifetimes and pass it out in melodious tunes to more or less attentive audiences. May we nominate, as the best advice ever given on how to walk the tightrope of this life, these words, "Know thyself." There are books, blue-prints, charts, wise and otherwise authors who are in possession of the secrets that put "backbone" in men after they are born. But all of these inconsistent ideas have always seemed to me like cast-iron rules—easy to break. My suggestion is to read inspirational writings, rather than adopt the plans of inspired authors. Use YOUR head and THEIR "how." Every man knows enough when he thinks of it. The trouble is, he doesn't always think of it. The author of a good book may help you, the editor of a well-thought-out magazine may suggest ideas that will start up your think-tank, but to know yourself is YOUR knowledge, and not the author's, and this is probably the only knowledge you will be able to apply successfully. Given a second choice for a suggestion on individual success, these are the two words I would employ, "Help thyself." What is the chief cause of most failures? The lack of enthusiasm and of intelligent work. Until you are so filled with the enthusiasm of wanting to accomplish some one thing above all other things, you will regard any effort in business as work. Work is what is paid for by the hour. It may be a machine, a man, or a mule. Enthusiastic and intellectual effort is what produces more than the average person expects to pay for. The only way you can get up is to wake up and then work up. Craft, expertness, are all the tin stars that are pinned on you after you pass a certain mark and they are all essential emblems of energy that a man must wear to prove to some people that he has, in the past, been willing to work. Education is the pasteboard that will admit you to the game. Work is the rain-check that will allow you to come back on the grounds after the storm. Let us then, my friend, with these thoughts in mind, make our LIBERTY UNIVERSITY a crowning success, a monument in the cause of Black Freedom and remembering that through education and work we have produced Roland Hays, De Hart Hubbard, George Carver, Matt Hennen, Charles Gilpin and our own beloved leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. And after all—life is either up or down. Either onward or backward. Life cannot stand still. Man never rises higher than the level of his mind—NEVER. Secrets of Antiquity Held by New Mexico HILL, N. M.—The great Mesilla valley of New Mexico, bed of the Rio Grande River, and the surrounding hills offer an almost inexhaustible field for students of vanished American races. For centuries before the advent of the present inhabitants a civilized race flourished in this region. One of the latest evidences of this was the recent discovery by John Stewart, rancher, of an ancient clay doll and human skeleton, which were uncarved in an old tomb in a gravel bank on the Stewart farm. The skeleton has been identified as that of an adult and is believed to be very old. The doll is of red clay and is about four inches in length. The head and arms are missing, but the body and lower limbs are well formed and symmetrical. Mr. Stewart has found buried pottery, turquoise beads, horn and stone implements, indicating that the Stewart home occupies the site of an ancient Pueblo village.

A post-mortem examination disclosed that the bird was a veritable lost property depository. Among other things her gizzard contained: Two women's handkerchiefs, a man's handkerchief, three gloves, three feet of cord, an empty film spool, a four-inch nail, an eight-inch nail, a four-inch lead pencll, four halfpennies, two farthings and a French coin, part of a celluloid comb, part of a rolled gold necklace, a collar button, a bicycle tire valve, a brass winding key for an alarm clock, a dozen short bits of wire, metal staples, screws, small nails and copper rivets, a glove fastener and a piece of wood four inches long. Salmon Traps Ordered By King in 1442 Near Goldcliff, a few miles above Newport, Wales, are rows of poles placed there by order of Henry VI in March, 1442, that the salmon fishing rights should provide a revenue for the Church of the Blessed J Virgin at Eton. The poles support baskets, or putchers. One set functions on the full tide and the other on the ebb. The fishing rights were value at $100 a year at that time, but the number of salmon caught there has greatly enhanced the value of the rights. The forms support altogether 2,427 baskets, and each basket is completely covered by every tide, says the Detroit New. Historians say that the Romans who visited Ica Silurum recognized the richness of these fishing grounds and took full advantage of their proximity. The original rights were confirmed by the special commissioners for fisheries in 1800 and 1803, and the original deeds are now in the possession of Blen Cul- HEAR YE! HEAR YE! WHAT SAY YE?

CRAIGEN Negroes who are not domiciled within the borders of Claremont, Va., and who were not there, would be, perhaps, interested to know that on May 28, 1927, another historical epoch has been written in the annals of Negro Memory. --- There on the banks of the historic James River, where our forefathers landed as slaves in the year 1619, a group of Negro boys and girls were graduated in Liberty University. In Claremont, Va., if you are not aware of it, stands a wonderful institution of learning formerly known as Smallwood-Corey Industrial Institute and now known as Liberty University, controlled by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This university will be the salvation of the Negro race. Some may think that this is a very broad statement to make, but let us analyze this question in brief. Why is it today that the men and women of the Roman Catholic faith are the bulwarks of the Roman Catholic Church? Why is it that the culture of the Germans once practically dominated the universe? Why is it that white boys and girls leave their colleges and universities with an incentive to be great men and women. It is, first, because the Roman Catholic religion maintains their own schools, where are deeply stamped on the plastic mind of their boys and girls the teachings of Roman Catholicism; so when the young shall have grown to maturity, they become the rock on which the Catholic religion stands. Second, meet a Frechman and ask him who was responsible for the world's war and he may say, the German, or the English, or the Serbian; and he may even blame France for the World's War. Meet an Englishman, and he too will do the same thing, but meet a German and under no circumstances will he blame Germany for the war because the German youth was thoroughly schooled in German culture under German instructors which make him believe that Germany is right in all things. Thirdly, the white boy or girl goes to the various schools of the world there he or she is taught the history and culture of the white race. Every text book he or she reads becomes an incentive for great deeds, because of the great deeds exemplified in said books by white men and women, therefore when the Caucasian child leaves the colleges he aspires to be just as great as the great man or woman he has read of in his history; hence my conclusion that Liberty University is the salvation of the Negro race; because the Negro boy and girl are taught the great deeds of black men and women, so that they also can aspire to be just as great as their forefathers were as the great Col. Chas. Young has said "That the greatest incentive to black youth is the SPECIAL AT CRICKET FIRST OF THE PRESENT UNIVERSA vs. ONE OF NEW YORK'S Under Au U. N.

There were many there to witness the events of this historic day in Claremont, Va. Thousands of persons came from far and near in their automobiles, added to by hundreds who came from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Norfolk on a special excursion ran by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The campus which rises to a height of seventy-five feet above the level of the river and which is the most beautiful that I have seen anywhere, was crowded with humanity. Because of this vast crowd the auditorium could not be used and the commencement exercises were held in the open air. Rev. Brown of Petersburg, Va., delivered the baccalaureum sermon, which was ably done, and other short addresses were delivered by the Hon. Fred A. Toteo and Dr. J. St. Claire Drake. At the piano was Miss Minna Thorpe, one of the teachers, and the choir was composed of some of the student body, Prof. Caleb Robinson, the president of the school, acted as master of ceremonies. On Monday a baseball game was played by the school team against a team from another school across the river, and on the same evening a play entitled "Rainbow Inn" and an oratorical contest furnished the climax. In this oratorical contest were demonstrated the teachings of Liberty University for everyone of the students who took part advocated the Redemption of Africa. On Tuesday a meeting was held to discuss ways and means for bettering the condition of the school for the next term which will begin in September of this year and at 8 p. m. the graduation exercises were held with a packed auditorium at which time the Hon. Fred A. Toote and the writer were the principal speakers. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has in Claremont, Va., the possibilities of the ages, if the Negroes would only take it seriously. There we have buildings to accommodate about 250 boarding students, about two miles of water front; our own dock to land our passengers; which dock I may state is used daily by the ships that plg between Richmond and Norfolk; about 60 acres of land to develop ourselves industrially and commercially and an institution to develop real Negro manhood. Mothers and fathers, especially of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, start now packing the trunks of your boys and girls of school age so by this and September they will be all ready for Claremont, Va. The fees are small; you can't beat it anywhere; you cannot get by any cheaper by sending them to the city schools; there in Liberty University they'll be protected morally, the girls by a refined and cultured matron and the boys by a respectable warden; there they'll be taught Negro history and culture; there, they'll be safe from white psychology so in their older years they may praise and glorify your name. Liberty University depends on you and compels you, as it were, to give her your children. Negro mothers and fathers will you heed her call? There isn't a child who has gone there who will not haunt their parents to send them back. I have heard many of them lament because of the closing of school. Let us, therefore, members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association give to the world a distinct racial institution by boosting and supporting financially Liberty University. Let's go. Division of the U. N. I. A., and put Liberty University over the top. J. A. CRAIGEN, Exec. Sec'y Det. Div. U. N. I. A. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1987 The following is a report of the address delivered by Dr. Mordecal Johnson recently on his inauguration as President of Howard University: President Mordecal Johnson in his inaugural address reviewed the history of Howard University from its humble beginning in a rented frame building with four students, one teacher and no money, to its present status as the first and only fully functioning university organization for Negroes in the United States, with nine schools and colleges including the School of Religion, the School of Medicine, embracing the colleges of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, the School of Law, the School of Music, the Colleges of Liberal Arts, the Colleges of Education and the College of Applied Science; with 2,404 students coming from 37 states and 11 foreign countries, with a bi-racial faculty of 160 members, the white members of which constitute some of the most distinguished men engaged in educational work in the United States. The colored members represent the largest body of competent colored scholars engaged in an educational enterprise anywhere to be found in the civilized world, with building and grounds valued at three millions of dollars; conducted by a bi-racial board of trustees; composed of some of the ablest white citizens of the country, functioning without condescension and in harmony with graduates of Howard University and other educated Negroes. He further pointed out that the existence of such an institution at the national capital constitutes a monument to the heroic devotion of the founders of the university, to the far-sighted wisdom of the Federal Government, and to the genius of the Negro people who since the days of slavery have travelled all the way from complete illiteracy in the masses to the present when they are capable of occupying places on a standard university faculty and not only of teaching there but making original and creative contributions to the knowledge of the world. He pointed out that Howard University had made original and creative contributions to the knowledge of the world in botany, zoology, sociology and history. Function and Mission President Johnson further pointed out the function and mission of Howard University in the United States. He stated that there were some needs of the masses of the Negro people that could not be met except by men who had training in a university like Howard. Some needs of the people can be met by servants with short time training; some other needs cannot be met except by men who have spent a third of their lives preparing to be used as slaves of the people. He stated that it was the ambition of Howard University to prepare these slaves of the people, to serve in the professions of medicine, law, teaching and religion. He pointed out the great need of professional men and women in all these four walks of life and the special fitness of Howard University to serve this need. Perhaps his most striking figures were those referring to the Negro ministry and the practice of medicine, both of which he showed to be greatly undermanned. He pointed to Howard University as having superior qualifications for ministering to this great need of professional men in the Negro race. In further defining the mission of Howard University, President Johnson pointed out the very great need today of serious studies in the field of sociology, economics, history and social philosophy. Developing Happy Relations With respect to the matter of race relations he stated that it was a matter of national importance that there should be continuous effect to develop harmonious and happy relations between the colored and white people of America. He stated that the time had passed when the question of race relations could be considered to be a sectional matter because two millions of colored people were living now in the North. He pointed out that experience had shown that there were no single panaces for producing harmonious race relations, but that all sorts of men now realized that the question was a complex question requiring the persistent application of the best available intelligence to a number of varied situations. He indicated that there was now need in the country for some national educational center to develop a series of studies for the purpose of discovering for the Negro and for the country what the actual situation of the Negro is in general, where he is going, what is in the way of him getting there and how he may get there with the good will of the rest of the community. He pointed out the special fitness of Howard University, to undertake such studies. Situated in Washington, a Southern city, but a Southern city constantly stimulated by the national will and faith of the whole American people with a bi-racial faculty and a biracial Board of Trustees, near the best library facilities in the country, it is an institution which has the confidence of the colored people themselves and all of the thoughtful members of other races; it has within its registration one-fourth of all the Negro students now engaged in college and professional pursuits, and has a group of 7,258 graduates, distributed in every state where Negroes live and active in every form of their complex life. Dr. Johnson expressed his belief that such a group of studies undertaken in the interest of race adjustment in the United States would not only contribute to the betterment of race relations, but might also contribute to the increase of our knowledge of human motives and of human organization, a knowledge now widely recognized by thoughtful men to be greatly needed in our time. Great National Center Dr. Johnson further referred to the special gifts of song, histrionic ability and naive kindness in the Negro mentality and development. He indicated that in his judgment Howard University should be a great national center where these gifts inherited from long experience of slavery might be brought to their fullest development and issued with every enriching effect into the sum total of American life. Toward the close of his address President Johnson called attention to the financial status of the University and its great need of increased support. He pointed out that the University has had an increased enrollment of 100 percent in the last twenty-eight years with a total increase of not more than 28 percent in the faculty, having been obliged to carry a current deficit for a period of six years. This current deficit has accumulated into a standing deficit of $87,500. He said that he had been able to overcome the current deficit this year, but pointed out that the existence of the accumulated deficit was a heavy strain. He pointed out further that the University had never been able to obtain more than 2 percent for the maintenance of its grounds and buildings and that it really needed a considerable increase in these funds to keep the buildings in proper repair. He especially emphasized, however, the great need for increased salaries for teachers and the need for money to make additional teachers available. He pointed out the very low salaries prevailing at Howard University, and how the professors and teachers were struggling, following other pursuits in the afternoons and nights, to keep up their ordinary expenses. He pointed out the danger of these low salaries to the effectiveness of the educational process in general. "I do not believe," he said, "that poorly paid teachers could be expected to produce anything other than a standardized mass product," while in his judgment, he felt that what we greatly need in America was independent self-starting, self-directing human beings who can make constructive contribution to the public good. Support Needed He expressed the very great need of the university's having the constant and helpful support of the United States government. He especially emphasized the support now coming in from colored people, calling attention to the fact that they had now paid in more than two-thirds of all the cash now in hand toward the $250,000 needed to meet the General Education Board's offer of $250,000 toward a $500,000 endowment for the School of Medicine. He indicated that the campaign was now within $15,000 of the goal and that he hoped to have it finished by July 1, when all conditional offers expire. He hoped that other efforts of the colored people might be greatly augmented by discriminating gifts from members of the other race. In closing, he turned to the graduating classes and called their attention to the great responsibility which they bore in the great development of the Negro people, and the bettering of race relations in the United States. He commended to them the example of the founders of Howard University and called upon the students not merely to be anxious to secure rights and privileges in the world, but to undertake to bear their share of the responsibility incident toward the bringing up of interracial good will in the United States. A Bigo Homo A Pious Hope He expressed the hope that the Negro in this country would at last come to the full public equality and that he would be able to come to his place without any loss of his physical characteristic as a black man or of his mental or spiritual characteristics he pointed out above. He hoped that such race relations might be arrived at in the United States, clearly indicating to the world the disposition of the American people to act in a friendly spirit toward all the smaller nations and backward peoples of the earth. In speaking to the students about the attitude toward those who offered them injury in life he called attention to the obligation resting upon them because of the long preparation which they had. He indicated that they should keep in mind that many men who endeavored to injure them in life were men who were mentally blind, and who need not an answering antagonism but a thoughtful patience. "Be patient, be RACE ROW AT AFRICAN HOSPITAL be attended. I cannot refuse a patient on the doorstep. Yesterday the matter came to a head, and we handed in our resimations. Of course, our nurses we cannot refuse to help people in distress, and, as you see, we are here yet." Nurse' Loyality That is an aspect of the little hospital tragedy that brings out the loyalty of the nursing profession. They have resigned, but still they are on duty. They have struck, but yet are not on strike. "In spite of our attitude," went on the matron, "Dr. Molema sent a note on Friday stating he was bringing another patient. I asked him to call on me, which he did; and I reiterated our attitude towards him, pointing out we had no objection to attending on colored patients. He said he did not expect me to do what I did not want to do but that patients had the right to admission. At present we have in the hospital three of his patients—a white man, a white girl of 20, and an older white woman." The two trained nurses were also interviewed and they bore out the matron's statement. Last Monday Dr. Molema brought in a white man to be operated on for appendicitis. The matron explained the position to the patient, and said she would admit him, but that the staff would not attend to him during and after the operation. As such treatment is essential, the man decided to go to Kimberley. Mr. R. A. Minchin, the chairman of the Hospital Board, told me that they had written to the Cape Administrator a long time ago, but had received no reply for a month. The reply took them no further, so they wired him last Saturday and received a reply to the effect that he was considering the legal position. Mr. Minchin indicated that the board was in a difficult position, and that he, as chairman, did not feel disposed to give his views, although they sympathized with the nurses. Dr. Molema's Career From authoritative source here I have obtained details of Dr. Moleman's career. He graduated as M. B., Ch. B., at Glasgow University in 1919, and served during the war in Stobhill Military Hospital, Glasgow. Then he went to Coombe Hospital, Dublin, and later was assistant surgeon at the Dublin Skin and Cancer Hospital. He also took a diploma in midwifery in Dublin. Altogether, he was seven years overseas. He returned to his native town of Mafeking in 1921 and set up in practice, which is a wide one, and embraced many white people at one time. The hospital recommended him to send his patients there, and real opposition started only eight months ago Doctor Molema had never offended any one in hospital and had always been courteous. He has an up-to-date consulting room in town and a special room with an X-ray apparatus of the latest design, which he has just purchased. He is considered to be an able surgeon and skilled in maternity cases, hence the reason why white patients go to him. One of his female cases in the hospital is concerned with a complaint to which women are subject, and another is a case of disease in the leg bone. Dr. Molema is a young, well-spoken man, apparently in the thirties. Request for Administrator The first wire sent by the Hospital Board to the Cape Administrator set forth the position that the nurses were resigning, and that the board were in sympathy with the nurses and asking for instructions and an interview with the administrator. He replied that he was investigating the legal consequences of the board's sympathy with the nurses. After the nurses resigned, the board wired to the administrator that they desired to have a section added to the hospital ordinance, giving hospital boards the right to have a list of medical practitioners who were permitted to have their patients in hospital, at the same time safeguarding urgent cases brought in by doctors from other districts. The board also asked that such an alteration in the ordinance should be gazetted next Friday. To this wire no reply has yet been received. Constantinople Has 3 Holidays a Week CONSTANTINOPLE—So many religious holidays are celebrated here by various creeds that Turkey's metropolis really has only three full business days a week.

In many Hindu houses these deadly reptiles have regular homes, and are daily fed with milk and solemnly worshiped morning and evening, according to the "Wide World Magazine." At a place known as Subramanyalm cobras are to be found in practically every house, and on certain festive occasions special services are held in their honor in the temple, thousands of persons gathering from long distances to participate. Though at any moment some member of the household might accidentally be bitten—which means certain death—no one dares destroy the cobra because of its sanctity. Even where the living snake is not worshiped, images of the cobra, carved in stone, are common and in the early morning one may frequently see men and women offering gifts before these "snake shrines."

Curnonaky, a writer, whose real name is Maurice Edmond Sailland, is cut on Palastaffian lines. No one disputes that he probably knows more about the inns and restaurants of Paris than any one else. It is remarked, however, that for the first time a leading authority on dinners is a man whose knowledge of wines is contested. The point against him is rather finely drawn, because he is charged only with too little respect for Burgundy wines and a family judgment of their relative merits. Purification of Water Saves Thousands of Lives CHICAGO.—Six hundred thousand persons alive today would be in their graves were it not for modern scientific methods of water purification. In the opinion of Abel Wolman of Baltimore, chief sanitary engineer for Maryland. Mr. Wolman is on today's program of the American Waterworks Association Convention. Chlorination and filtration of water, he said, have cut the American death rate from typhoid fever from forty a hundred thousand in 1900 to less than five per hundred thousand in 1927, with the help of strict milk inspection and rigid police control of known typhoid carriers.

Eighty percent of the crops in the southland is raised by Negroes, he related. W. L. Patterson, chairman of the meeting, said in part: "The Constitution of the United States provides that no person can be prevented from going wherever he sees fit. But here we have the state militia in Mississippi holding Negroes in relief camps against their will. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution were passed primarily to give the Negro freedom of thought and action. Not one cent has been expended to enforce these amendments. On the other hand, the Federal government has spent millions of dollars and called out the navy to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment which prescribes against giving freedom of thought and action to all citizens." Lovett Fort-Whitman, leading spirit of the American Negro Labor Congress, who in 1924 traveled through Russia and held a convention of the organization at Chicago in October, 1925, came to New York to tell of the aims and objects of the congress.—New York World. Fossil Ape in India Called Real Missing Link LONDON.—Claims regarding the residence of the first man now come from India with the discovery by Dr. Guy E. Pilgrim, who has unearthed the palate and lower jaw of a fossil ape at Bilaspur, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Dr. Pilgrim claims this fossil ape is probably a remote ancestor of man, belonging to a period 1,000,000 years ago. A superintendent of the Geological Survey of India, the doctor is well known in British scientific circles, his discovery greatly impressing Mr. William D. Matthew of the Museum of Natural History, New York, who for some time has been working in India and Java. The discoverer claims that among the fossil ape of India we have our original ancestor, and if his theories prove correct he has found the oldest skull in the world. The oldest human relic in Britain is the skull discovered at Pitdown, Sussex, which scientists claim to be over 500,000 years old. Therefore if Dr. Pilgrim's claim can be proved, scientists will have made a big stride in the discovery of the real "missing link."

SMALL, Reporter. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM The Universal Negro Improvement Association was organized in 1919, with a small membership of thirty in the great city of New York, but now the Universal Negro Improvement Association has branches the world over, with a membership of six million. At the birth of the association it was predicted that it would not live long, but in eight years this noble organization has made a wonderful progress, and it will live as long as the world lasts, because the aims and objects are so great. The aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are to foster love among the Negroes and to work towards building a government in Africa, our motherland. Again I must say that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a social friendly, humanitarian, charitable, educational, constructive and expansive society, and the members have pledged themselves to do all in their power to conserve the rights of their noble race and to respect the rights of all mankind, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Now comes the question, How shall we increase the membership of the Association? This question has a great number of answers, but I will only attempt to discuss a few. We who are active members of the Association must make it our duty to invite our friends to our meetings, especially on Sunday nights. We should select one or two of our best speakers to impart to them the dictices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and if this is done I will assure you that our friends will join with us. Then, too, we as members, must live in unity with one another, for only by unity can we acquire strength, and strength is what we need. We must endeavor to save the money which our poor, hard-working members are putting into the association. By all means we must acquire property and open some business of our own, wherein we can buy and sell to our people. And not only that, but we will be able to employ some of our own members, and when the public see that we are actually doing things $25.00-REWARD-$25.00 for every course college our remedy fails to cause. This remedy is in the latest edition. We have a system that requires you we had given N,1,000 practical tests without failure. We look back at the past and see that it is not a cure remedy on the market today that can duplicate with ours. Think it'll work. We have a system. Again, grab request a territory.

CHEMICALS that the race in general will benefit by they will join us by the thousands. These modern days the world only looks upon the organization that has acquired something. We as a race of people should follow the footsteps or the examples of the thriving races. We must establish business and industrial enterprise, and live in love one towards the mother. We, as members, should make it our duties to give at least two dollars to the association for about ten consecutive weeks. I will assure you that if this is done that in a few months time this association will be a financial power in the world. We, as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, must consider the work of the Association as our work and work hard for it to succeed. Let every one of us do our duty for the upbuilding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us but do our work from day to day. In fields or forest, at the desk or loom, in roaring market places or tranquil rooms. Let us but find it in our hearts to say when flagrant wishes beckon us astray: Of all who live we are the ones by whom This work can best be done in the right way." —Henry Van Drake. DORIS C. BUSCH. New Orleans, La. Religion Is Often A Stumbling Block To the Editor of the Negro World: Allow me space in your most valuable medium to express my thoughts concerning the conditions of the Negro as he exists today: Negroes on the whole have gone stark mad over the white man's religion. Christianity. He has taken it just as the white man gave it to him, not trying to analyze the fundamental principles of it, not pondering over aging it up and trying to end the facts and flaws therein. He thinks on nothing else but religion, and, in my opinion, as little as possible should be said about it in the various divisions. Religion has sapped the manhood from our noble men, making them weaklings. Methinks that more patriotism and politics should be taught to the masses of unenlightened people and such sophistry and tommyroth should be left out. We have had our supply of the blame thing for over sixty years now, and now it is time to make a change. "Negroes, wake up, wake up!" You THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 26. 1927 are asleep. Look on the block side of the thing and let us bear each other's burden. You are men with backpacks just as any other people. Let us now be up and doing with one heart and mind. Time is short. Don't think the white man is asleep. He is watching you. The odds are great. We are blocked on every angle. Africa is calling you. Ignorance is causing it. You know better, but you are too carefree. You let the other fellow buy the food, cook it, and you are too lazy to eat it. Negroes, wake up, danger is near. Hon. Marcus Garvey has started a movement that is second to none. Help him to bear your burden, not his. Our borrowed religion has blighted our progress on the whole. Here is a man sent by God to point you the way to your Motherland and freedom. The ones that are preaching the word of God to you are trying to impede the progress of such a great movement. Fellowmen of the Negro race, wake up! You can't leave everything to God. God helps those that help themselves. Brother, don't you think the white man is tired of carrying us? Yes, he! Action speaks louder than words and you can see it every day, especially in the South. Negroes, wake up! Lock and listen. Do you see where the aborigines are today in the Everglades? All right, you are next. Look out, they were put there to make room for the onward march of civilization. Food is going to get scarcer in America some day, and do you think a white man's mouth is going empty so as to fill a black mouth? No, air. In my estimation, the U. N. I. A. is a political organization and should be run on that basis and not on a religious basis. You can't run a government on religion. You need politics, finance, commerce and a complete union. So let us get down to brass tacks and do business. Negroes, wake up. There is something going to happen soon that is going to startle you. Those of you who are not in line ought to get in. Hon. Marcus Garvey is not suffering for himself—he is suffering for you and me. Since you have one drop of Negro blood in you. So let us be grateful and thank God and Garvey that when the time comes we can worship God and our own vine and fig tree. Join the U. N. I. A. and do it now, not for my sake nor yours, but for God's own dear sake. Negroes, wake up, put your shoulders to the wheel and reason with one another. Get to understand each other. The U. N. I. A. is nothing to be ashamed of. They called me a fool for joining the movement, but I told them I could not be fooled any longer by dogmas, teachings of the hypocritical whites. Teach the people how to carry on the struggle for existence and they will thank you in the end. Teach the masses that there is but one God and Garvey is our noble leader. A BTAUNCH GARVEYITE. Miami, Fla. Negroes Thinking White Help Retard Program To the Editor of The Negro World: It is gratifying to readers of this paper, also the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to read of the petitions sent weekly to the President of the United States of America praying for the release of our beloved leader. The Hon. Marcus Garvey is serving a prison sentence in the Atlanta Penitentiary for educating his people along the lines of Nationalism, for arousing within them that racial consciousness which was lying dormant in the hearts of every Negro man and woman. It is a fact that Garveyism has brought forth a new Negro, who has realized that he is created equal, and he can achieve what any man of any race can achieve, and will endeavor to go forward with one determination. to carve out his own death, irrespective of all the disadvantages placed in his way, the old befogged Negro notwithstanding. Some of the old Negroes still think in terms of white. We think so much of the British, French and Dutch flags which rule the Colonies where we were born that we fail to realize that we are a different racial entity. Our Motherland is Africa, and we are only subjects or objects of the above named nations. Let us take no thought of such Negroes, let us pass them by like little boys sitting on the fence; but some day they will jump down and fall in line. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have launched out for Nationhood and we cannot stop, we are bending every effort to have our leader restored to us. We are with him through thick and thin, in prison or out of prison. We are determined that Africa shall some day be restored to the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Let all divisions who have not yet sent in their petition do so at once so that God may touch the heart of the LUCK! President of the United States of America so that he may restore to the four hundred million Negroes their beloved leader who is suffering in mind and body for the people whom he so dearly leaven. Let us endeavor to put the program over and convince our leader that his sufferings have not been in vain, and that finally our sons and daughters may reap the benefits of a free and redeemed Africa, under the Red, the Black and the Green.

Have No Religion WASHINGTON, June 18.—Sixteve million of the 110,000,000 persons in the United States have no religious affiliations, the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Darut, D. D., of Wilmington, N. C., chairman of the Episcopal Church's National Commission on Evangelism, told chrysogen from eighteen States at the third annual conference of the College of Preachers of Washington Cathedral here today. He added: "America is standing at the crossroads. We are not going rapidly down hill to perdition, nor are we going up hill to an infinitely finer civilization. "But America will go with her 62,000,000 unless the 48,000,000 get busy, unless our religion becomes a little more real) with us, a flaming thing that shows the way. "The church has the solution to the world's problems, but in order to effect the solution we must carry religion out into life." 5 LUCK FOR YOU Wear East Indian Good Luck Ring Miracles love, love, love, happiness.
