We can happen into a meeting almost any time or place among Negroes and hear his inspired messages coming from other lips and from other platforms where Marcus Garvey would not have been welcomed. pride in the man, a little bitterness because of his persecution, and beneath it all a very real sense of loneliness because he seems so very far away. Garveyism, called by one name or another, is the topic of the hour among Negroes. As the years pass, the message is spreading. Garvey's will is being accomplished. He willed that the eyes of Negroes everywhere should be turned toward Africa, and they are turning that way. Garvey was imprisoned too late. His sublime We must be happy because God has spared him to us for another year. For he is the candle of inspiration for millions of Negroes, set as a beacon on a hill.

We congratulate him upon his patience, his endurance, his fortitude in the face of a situation which has been repeated many times in the lives of great men; but a situation which is no less trying each time that it obtains. The strategy of the enemy is always to separate the leader from his flock. But the ruse has not worked so well this time. The leader remains hopeful and brave; the flock remaias loyal and true. Another year has passed with its vain hopes, its uncertainties and its disappointments. This time last year we hoped for all that we are hoping for now. But the doon has remained shut. He has not been restored to us. But compensation has come to the friends and followers of Marcus Garvey in a popular manner. Impersonation of the man has had a very surprising and remarkable effect upon those outside of the organization. In some cases a complete mental metamorphosis has taken place.

Mencken, a distinguished white writer, brought down upon his head vials of wrath by saying in his column in the New York Sunday World that nothing comes out of the Negro led by the pastor but moans. Mencken's viewpoint was that the leadership of parsons had not proved a blessing to the Negro race. Now it must be Mencken's turn to laugh, for from the heart of Georgia reverberates the voice of a Negro pastor telling thousands of "his people" at a great mixed gathering that the "Georgia white man is the best friend the Negro has." Of a truth, nothing can come out of Pahson Cason's flock but moans. The occasion was an outing, to wit, a barbecue, designed, we are gold, to strengthen the bonds of amity and good-will existing between the white citizens and Negroes. But let the Associated Press tell the story: Burmese for Negroes An Prum for Good Will WOODLAND, Ga., Aug. 13—An outing designed to strengthen the bonds of unity and good will will be between the white citizens and Negroes here yesterday witnessed the attendance of several thousand persons of both races. The gathering was belayed the first Negro home-coming ever given by white citizens. Suspect members of both races delivered addresses in evidencing the friendship of the two in this part of the State. The occasion was planned primarily that the people of Talbot County might manifest their appreciation of the loyalty and industry of the Negroes in the county, few of whom have migrated. A beautiful barbecue was tendered to the Negroes after the speaking, followed by various athletic events, including a baseball game in which only the Negroes participated. The principal white speakers were H. A. Aliso Brooks and John Higden, agricultural agents for railroads. Both stressed the industry and thrift of the Negroes here and urged continuation of greater farming activities, principally in dairying and poultry raising. They pointed out that the Negro family owning and operating farms in the South have become prosperous and have accumulated more money than those who have migrated. The Rev. J. R. Cason, principal Negro speaker, asserted the belief that the Georgia white man is the best friend the Negro has, although there is misunderstanding at times. From his observations throughout the country, he said, the greatest trouble with the Negro race is that they have had bad teachings from their preachers and teachers. He believed this condition was growing better. The oldest Christian church in the world, built during the Third Century, stands within the shadow of Mount Ararat at Etchmiadzin in Soviet Armenia. Gregory the Illuminator, whom the Armenians believe converted them to Christianity, is supposed to have been its founder, and it is for that reason known as St. Gregory's Cathedral.

Divisions Must Not Entertain Speakers, Claiming to Represent Parent Body, Who Cannot Show Properly Signed Credentials From date no division or chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall entertain and pay any money to anyone claiming to be a field worker, officer, commissioner, or other representative of the Parent Body who cannot show credentials signed by Mr. E. B. Knox and countersigned by me as president general. This step is taken to counteract the present mood of speakers who are collecting funds from the divisions in public without making any report of same to the organization. MARCUS GARVEY, President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Aug. 13, 1927. Will Continue to Assist Revolution as An Individual—Retains Membership in Kuomintang—Lost Confidence of the Masses SHANGHAI, Aug. 14—Gen. Chiang Kai Shek formally has severed all connection with the Nationalist revolution and is returning to private life. He arrived this morning about 4 o'clock at his birthplace, Fenghwa, in Kianqiang Province, near Ningpo, about 100 miles south of Shanghai. Press dispatches from Fenghwa state "Gen. Chiang Kai Shek is with his family here and is going into retirement indefinitely, seeking rest following a year of superhuman efforts to further the Nationalist cause." "To the People of China. Gen. Chang tonight issued a formal statement addressed "to the people of China," resigning his position as commander-in-chief of the Nationalist armies and also other positions connected with China's Nationalist revolution. The youthful general asserts he is returning to private life, but adds, "I am retailing membership in the Kuoimintang and will assist the revolution merely as an individual." Simultaneously with Chang Kai Shen's action in resigning five members of the Kuoimintang Central Executive Committee, with headquarters in Nanking, announced their resignations, as did Hwang Fu May, whose resignation was indicated last night. The statement issued by Chiang is a lengthy one, the equal of about 7,000 words in English. It reviewed the part he played in the revolution thus far, which he climaxed by saying to the Associated Press that no longer was there confidence in him, and this, coupled with ill-health, necessitated his resignation. The general, in his statement, after giving a long list of reasons why he must resign, brings out three points which he declared vital if the revolution is to succeed. How to Attain Ends First, he appealed to the leaders of the Hankow Government, including military and civilian officials, to go to Nanking and take charge of the latter government, consolidating the two governments, thereby strengthening the front against the Northerners. Second, he asked the Hankow troops, now scattered throughout the provinces of Hunan, Huphe and Kiangslu. "to lay aside prejudices and continue the campaign against the Northerners, which is bound to succeed if all concerned will struggle to the utmost." Third, he appealed to the leaders and troops of the same three provinces to expel all Red members of the Kuomintang. British Mining Company Gets Extensive Rights Near the Canal Zone PANAMA, Aug. 13.—The Panama Corporation, Ltd., a British mining concern, announced today the acquisition of an option on extensive mining properties, involving 40,600 hectares (about 100,000 acres) and more than seventy-one mining claims. These claims include the old Spanish mine of Espiritu Santo, reputed to have been the premier producer of Colonial days. All the claims were owned by the Darlen Gold Mining Company, which was forced to suspend operations in 1915 on account of the war. Engineers are already on the property, ready to begin operations on a large scale as soon as the negotiations are concluded. The Panama Corporation is the same concern whose acquisition of mining properties in Veraguas Province in 1996 provoked criticism from Senator Borah and others against the acquisition of properties by non-American concerns in proximity to the Canal Zone. Anti-Foreign Feeling PEKIN—Little spontaneous anti-foreign or anti-Christian feeling is apparent in the far interior of China, and these movements are due largely to propaganda spread from the larger city, according to Bishop George R. Grosse of the Medjudbh Mission. Bishop Grosse has just restrained from assisting in the evacuation of missionaries from the interior of Sichuan province. In the interior of Sichuan Bishop Grosse found the Chinese more friendly than ever, he said, but "in the large city, where propaganda speakers have been busy and where anti-foreign and anti-Christian posters poster the walls. I found more of a studied situation. In some phone children would fear at Sichuan and consequently everyone would THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1967 MARCUS GARVEY. Labor M. P. Raises Question of Three-Year-Sentence Imposed on African for "Importing Six Copies of the Negro World" In a debate on colonial affairs that was held in the House of Commons recently, the subject was brought up relating to a commission that is being formed in connection with the International Labor Office to "inquire into the administrative and financial problems of East Africa," and problems relating to labor conditions. Mr. L. R. Amery, Secretary of State for the colonies, was asked a question concerning the composition of the commission. In answer to the question, Mr. Amery said, "I have not yet been able to make all the arrangements, and therefore I cannot give the names." Mr. Amery went on further to explain that he "hoped to have someone representing the point of view of those who are specially concerned with the welfare of the natives." To this Mr. Richard Wallhead, M. P., asked "Will there be a native on the commission?" Mr. Amery's reply although lengthy and excusing, revealed the blatant fact that there would not be one colored representative on the commission. Mr. Wallhead further informed the Secretary for the Colonies that "It has been stated in a book written lately by an expert, a German who was in East Africa, that from the point of view of agriculture it has been discovered that the Westerner, the European, can teach the native nothing in regard to the proper management of his land." The North World Mr. Wallhead, also raised the question of the sentence of three years hard labor imposed upon Isa Macdonald Lawrence, a Nyanaland native, for importing into Rhodesia six copies of the "Negro World" published in New York and two copies of the "Workers Herald" published in Johannesburg. He said, "I wish to know if a report has been received about this matter because I understand that the judge responsible for this sentence has been transferred to another district. I should also like to know why the Rhodesian authorities prevent the formation of branches of the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union and why they take the line which they do take against allowing the natives to organise themselves in protective bodies in order to improve their conditions and standards of life. I wish to know if there is any chance of a revision of this sentence which seems to be a particularly harsh one for the offense of taking into this district a few newspapers." Mr. Wallhead was prompted to ask the above questions because some time ago the question was raised, and a promise given that a report would be received from the Governor of the Protectorate, which, however, did not seem to be forthcoming. NEW YORK CITY SPENDS $161,000,000 FOR SCHOOLS From The New York World In special session today the Board of Education is expected to pass a request for a school budget of $161,000,000 for New York City. This is an increase in round numbers of $28,000,000 over the $122,817,214 asked last year. Only about $126,000,000 of this larger sum is to be appropriated by the city, as much of the increase is to be provided by the growing appropriations of the state in support of public education. The board asks also $35,000,000 for its building program. In Governor Smith's recent special statement on state finances it was shown that state appropriations for education have grown in ten years from $11,554,597.42 to $88,332,823.05. No informed taxpayer will look for any escape from his burdens because these greatly increased sums are spent by the state; the money comes out of his own pocket just the same. State appropriations in generous aid enable some hard-pressed cities update to keep within the 2 percent constitutional limit on local taxation. State taxes, like the cost of debt service, are outside that limitation. The growth of New York City's school expenditure has been only less emotional than in the state appropriations. In 1917, ten years ago the figure was $44,210,300.12, with a much smaller contribution from the state. Of course the sum the Board of Education now demands is not final; it may yet be whittled and fitted by the Board of Estimate and the Alberman. But the final figure will be big enough to cause some embarrassment not only in the very important task of building subways but in providing money for a dozen different municipal activities which imperatively need money. Anglo-Saxon Business Men Begin to Squabble Over "Divine Right" to Exploit India's Wealth—"We Did the Dirty Work," Albion's Wall The steady expansion of American business interests in India is said by some to be extremely disagreeable to British business men, who consider the Indian market somewhat as their monopoly. Sir Montagu Webb, until recently head of the Chamber of Commerce of India's great wheat port, Karachi, is reported in the press as complaining because American-made socks were being sold in that city. Commenting on his utterance, the Colombo Times of Ceylon observes: "On the face of it, his statement appears to be of little significance, but when one proceeds to analyse the various projects of big American business firms, it becomes increasingly apparent that America is planning to obtain a substantial portion of the trade in India at present enjoyed by Great Britain." This newspaper quotes an article written by K. Hansen Scott, formerly the United States Vice-Corsal at Madras, in which he said that, "in the language of a stock broker, India is a market with a capital M." We read then: "Apparently the fact that Great Britain has spent her blood and treasure in Westernizing India to a degree admitted by Mr. Scott goes for nothing where trade is concerned. It merely points the way for American big business to make a 'toehold into a foothold.' Nobody can blame America for desiring to exploit the huge potential market afforded by India, but the robust optimism radiated by this former consular representative is such that the Government of India and British business interests should take serious note, and more than that, insure that India's trade is kept as far as possible within the bounds of the Empire. This can be done in two ways: firstly by tariff preferences operating in favor of Great Britain; and secondly—this being even more important than the first—by British companies intensifying their efforts to secure and expand the trade of India. "It is manifestly contrary to all the tenets of common justice that a country which has contributed so little to the advancement of India should reap the benefits made possible by a country which has for many years risked not only capital but even the life of its subjects in India. We do not expect these considerations to weigh with America, but the remedy is in the hands of the British and Indian Governments, and the time to act is now. American big business has its 'toohold.' If Great Britain allows her to secure that "foothold" which is her avowed objective, the blame must rest with us and not with America." While the British thus frown, an Indian writer recently suggested in the pages of The Modern Review (Calcutta) that his people should use America's expanding trade with India, as a lever to force the United States to accord better treatment to Indians who go to that country. To quote him: "America has a large trade with India, and the Americans are doing their level best to increase this trade. If the Americans persist in thinking that they can with impunity exploit India and insult the Indians at the same time, it would be our duty to show them that they could do one of the above, but not both."—The Literary Digest. Secret German Data On Way to England Found in Men's Secks HOEOIST, Germany, Aug. 10.—Three employees of the German Dye Trust are alleged by the police to have been caught in an attempt to sell the manufacturing secrets of certain products to English interests. The police say they found the formulae hidden in the men's socks. They also claim to have found a contract fixing the purchase price of the secrets at 900,000 marks (about $207,000). The alleged contract also promised air passage to England, naturalization there and steady employment, with a share of the profits. The law does not cover more attempts of such nature, and the three men were released. Negro Miners Struggle To Save Themselves CLAY, Ky. Aug. 5.-Mute evidence of a dramatic struggle by West Carter and Green Russell, Negro miners, to save their lives in the West Kentucky Coal Company mine disaster here, was found by rescue workers. When the rescue crew stumbled across the bodies of the two men in a little room in entry number 10 of the mine, 900 feet from where the explosion occurred Wednesday, they found that the two men had torn their clothing from their bodies and stuffed it into cracks around the room. The host desperate attempt to shut out the poisonous air which was stinging in, failed, however, and it is believed the Negro miners died a few minutes later. Today, the bodies of fifteen miners who died as the result of the explosion had been brought to the surface and identified. There were 37,500,170 pounds carried last year in the $28,300 amounts of the United States. CHATTANOOGA POLICE INVADE PEACEFUL U. N. I. A. MEETING; FOUR SERIOUSLY WOUNDED PRESIDENT TO ASK CONGRESS CHANGE PHILIPPINE RULE Will Seek to Place Control Under Department of Interior Death of General Wood Hastens Administrative Changes RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 12.—President Coolidge has pretty definitely made up his mind to seek transfer of control over the Philippines and the island possessions from the War Department to the Department of the Interior. He does not agree with Secretary Work of the Interior Department that he should make the transfer by executive order, without action by Congress, it was indicated here today. Mr. Work, who has been visiting at the Summer White House, said yesterday he believed the President should make the shift by executive order. The President believes he has the power to do this, but thinks it likely such a change would require accompanying legislation beyond the scope of an executive order. Consequently he feels it is better to wait until Congress can consider the whole thing. The death of Gen. Leonard Wood, Governor General of the Philippines, seems likely to bring about changes in control of the country's insular possessions much sooner than the President had planned. In the past the Executive has talked about the desirability of transferring jurisdiction from the War Department. Would Change Jurisdiction The President has indicated he thought the Department of the Interior should have jurisdiction over the islands. He has no objection to military control as such, but believes the time has come when there is no military security involved. He feels the War Department was intended for other responsibilities and should be relieved of the duty of civil administration of the islands. There is every indication the President will have legislation introduced at the next session to bring about the transfer of authority. With that prospect it is thought likely here that he will delay naming a successor to Gen. Wood until the new island policy has been more definitely shaped. There is a possibility that he may appoint Carmi Thompson of Ohio, who acted as the President's special commissioner in the Philippines last year, before Congress can act. This would be because Thompson urged the step the President is contemplating and could be continued after the transfer to carry out the new policy. Parisians Collect Primitive African Art PARIS--Enthusiasts are combing the auction rooms here for objects of primitive African art. Such objects, particularly African musical instruments, brought record prices at a recent sale in the Druot auction rooms. The fad for Negro art is growing rapidly. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? WASHINGTON. — Judging by the number of deaths, the week ended July 16 appears to have been a particularly hard one on the colored citizens of Memphis, Tennessee, where the 38 per cent colored population furnished 57 per cent of all the deaths during the week. The same unsatisfactory, if not alarming, condition seems to have obtained in Atlanta, Ga., where a 51 per cent Negro population sustained 53 per cent of the total deaths reported by the health officials. The colored citizens of Richmond, Va., contributed 56 per cent of the deaths, although they represent but 31 per cent of the population. Then follow, in the order named: Birmingham, New Orleans, Houston and Knoxville, where the number of colored deaths in proportion to the total population of each city was excessively high. In the city of Indianapolis, where the colored population is only 11 per cent of the total, but 14 per cent of the deaths were among this racial group.—C. P. R. WASHINGTON. — Texas has 253 counties, in 78 of which there are no colored farmers. In the other 173 there are 64,193, of whom 18,541, or about 30 percent, are owners. Mighty more than 80 percent of these owners live in twenty counties, led in the order named by Harrison, Smith, Ralph, Cogan, Dewey and Houston. Of the 82,598 white farmers in the state, 16,125, or 20 percent are owners. To 82,598 of these colored and white farmers the Federal Agricultural Credit System has loaned 80,000,000 on short mortgages and has reduced the interest rate from 20 percent to 8 and 50 percent, which, according to the Rutledge Journal, represents an annual saving in interest of 80,000,000 to the Bancorp who have shown advantage of the benefits of the Negroes Stirred by Unwarranted and High-Handed Action of Police; Attempt Being Made to Mislead Country That Something Is Amiss BALTIMORE PAPER CRIES "GO IT, GARVEY!" Police Dislike of Seeing U. N. L. A. Men in Uniform on Streets Said to Have Been Cause of Trouble—Negroes Return Fire to Protect Women and Children A palpably un-American attempt on the part of the Chattanooga police to break up the branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in that city has been attended with serious results. Blood was shed on the night of August 4th during a clash between police and members of the Association when the former, as The Negro World is informed, invaded the meeting place of the Association without a warrant, and, upon being remonstrated with, fired wan-tly upon the gathering, included in which were a number of women and children. Several of the latter had narrow escapes from death or serious injury, two men, members of the Association, were wounded, it is feared seriously, while a policeman was shot through the thigh. The incident almost developed into a riot, the circumstances outraging the feelings of the Negro population of Chattanooga, who are at a loss to understand why so law-abiding and useful a group of citizens as the U. N. I. A. membership should be singled out for such treatment. and are seeking to coerce them into lying about some 'secret dope' which they pretend to believe the organization has." The Chattanooga outrage bids fair to have wide repercussions, for the splendid reputation for orderliness and obedience to authority built up by the branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Light is thrown upon the beginning of the unfortunate occurrence by the following paragraph from a white despatch, sent from Chattanooga, Tenn., to the various cities of the South: "The Negro organisation (meaning the Universal Negro Improvement Association) was refused permission to hold public street meetings four weeks ago, according to Police Commissioner Bryan, and since that time reports of secret meetings have been received. Last night police were notified of a disturbance in a house in the Negro section." Why permission to hold public street meetings was refused is not disclosed. There is no reference to disorder. But it is clear that the Chattanooga police were not merely concerned about "public street meetings," but about indoor meetings as well, meetings that are held throughout the country and have been held in Chattanooga for several years without incident. The intention of the police, it seems certain, was to put an end to the "secret meetings," and on the night of August 4 they set out to do this. Talk of "disturbance in a house in the Negro section" was a mere excuse for the unwarranted action of the police. The story of what happened on the night in question, as broadcast by the white press, is as unconvincing as it is contrary to the known facts. It runs as follows:— When officers reached the house, they were stopped inside the hall by a Negro wearing a uniform who was armed with a repeating rifle. He was told that the men entering were police and was ordered to put his rifle down. Instead he raised the weapon and covered the officers. At the same time he was joined by two other Negroes, each armed with rifles. Then someone fired a shot from the interior of the house. Captain Hymm, in charge of the police detail, kicked out a light and the shooting became general as Negroes swarmed from the house. Two of the Negroes fell with bullet wounds in their beds but their companions managed to drag them away during the melee. Mr. Milton L. Minyard, President of the Chattanooga Division, in a brief statement to The Negro World, says "The Universal Negro Improvement Association in Chattanooga has never committed a single discreditable act; it has always obeyed the law; it has never created any disturbance of any kind. A few weeks ago we were refused permission to hold street meetings, and we accepted the police ruling without present. Silly rumors were bruited about that we were planning some fantastic scheme—we believe the police did not relish the idea of our legionnaires wearing their uniforms in public—and so we soon heard of someone threats being made by irresponsibles to "blow up" our meeting place. "On August 4th we were holding a meeting, quiet and earnest as usual when police alarmed the place. More when we had detailed to protect our meeting place over since trouble was indicated, requested the police to show their warrant and to state the reason for the visit. They refused to do either and started failing, disgirling the faces of the women and children in the hall. As a measure of protection some of our men resigned the fire. A shot cell was sent in to police headquarters and 40 police personnel went into the room, sounded to the teeth. They opened three of our men all one of them was wounded. Then they flashed 'All over the country' saying we were gliding past the United States Government." and are seeking to coerce them into lying about some 'secret dope' which they pretend to believe the organization has." The Chattanooga outrage bids fair to have wide repercussions, for the splendid reputation for orderliness and obedience to authority built up by the branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is well known to the Negro public. Regarding the incident, the Afro-American printed the following editorial in its issue of August 13, 1927: "Go It Garvey" "Is there anything to Garveyism? Is the question correspondents frequently write us. "The race riot in Chattanooga, Tenn., last week gives us an opportunity to say there's a whole lot, and to add, figure it out for yourself. "Mr. Marcus Garvey, founder of the organization, made some mistakes in financing his organization. As a result he has spent the last two years in the penitentiary. Direction of the world-wide organization in his absence was undertaken by lieutenants. They squabbled among themselves and split into a dozen factions. "Mrs. Garvey, wife of the imprisoned leader, teek up the burden, but she has only proved a voice crying in the wilderness. "The international organization organization sees shot to pieces, but not the Garvey program which in hundreds of communities is gospel and psalter. "The Chattanooga riot represents the typical Southern white reaction to colored organizations provided with military uniforms and weapons. "In Tennessee a Negro cannot join the State Militia, but he can join the African Guards of Garvey, and the women are recruited as Black Cross Nurses. "Constitutional rights and racial equality advocated by every intelligent person constitute the Garvey creed, which soap-box orators spout in fiery languages. "Garveyites 'protest' lynching and segregation, 'declare' alien judges and juries from which blacks are excluded as unfair 'believe' in the superiority of the black race in all things racial, 'demand' the capitalization of the word 'Negro' and the recognition of their leader, Marcus Garvey. "Garvey, practically 'dead' these two years, speaks and lives in the organization he founded. If he can do this much from Atlanta penitentiary, watch his smoke when he is freed."

Representative of West African Chiefs Source B.104,000 Loan from New York Banks to End British Cocoa Monopoly Gold Coast, West Africa, Produces More Than Half of World Supply of Cocoa, but Native Did Not Share in Profits of Trade—Mr. Toto-Anson's Movements in New York Carefully Observed by British Agents (From the New York World, August 18.) Winfred, Tete-Anan of Accra, Gold Coast, West Africa, announced yesterday he had cochoked the preliminaries for a $2,000,000 loan from New York banking interests. The loan will be used to market co-operatively Gold Coast cocoa. Final details of the loan, he said, will be announced within a few days. This held financial announcement hides the ending of patriotic quest which has taken Mr. Tete-Anna to Berlin, London and New York. In negotiating the loan, which he hopes will bring new economic freedom to his country, Mr. Tete-Anna has been opposed by the African and Eastern Trade Corporation, Ltd., which is allied to two of the big five British banks, Lloyd's and the Westminster. It is known that Mr. Tete-Anna's movements during the six weeks he has been in New York have been carefully observed. The announcement also shows dramatically how completely the traditional Africa of the slave trader and diamond hunter, the Africa of Joseph Conrad, the sullen coast known as the "White Man's Grave," where British garrisons used to be regularly served with one bottle of brandy per man per day to ward off disease, has disappeared. Clients Are Native Chiefs Mr. Tete-Anne is a Negro, a native African, and the odocoil producers who are his clients are the Omanahmen, the Mantanen, the Pins and the Konorn, as the paramount chiefs are called, of the Gold Coast. Accra, tiny settlement which is Mr. Tete-Anne's home, is on the coast some 500 miles due south of Timbuctu. 'It is the part of Africa which used to be ruled by the slave trader, the part from which most American Negroes originally came. Mr. Tete-Anne plans to establish a co-operative crop bank of $1,000,000 capital. Discussing it yesterday at a friend's house in Harlem, he said: "I'm taking a white staff back with me, a white bank manager and accountant. I'll need Americans, because a good part of the bank's business will be with America. No, I won't use any New York Negroes. You see." —Mr. Tute-Anna's manner showed he did not want to be invulnerable to his hosts —"while I haven't been in New York very long. I've got the impression Negroes over here haven't much business training and experience. There are a few insurance brokers or real estate brokers, but no one who seems to have any grasp of sound business principles." Goose Through London Mr. Tete-Anna quoted British Government reports to show the Gold Coast produced 52 percent of the world's cocoa. None of this now comes to the United States. It all goes through Lqhdon. Most of it is handled by the African and Eastern, an amalgamation of London cocoa-importing interests formed during the war. Mr. Tete-Anna declares the African and Eastern and its subsidiaries fix the price of cocoa on the Gold Coast, and fix it far below the world price level. "A man brings his cocoa in to a company trading post on his head," he explained, "sometimes traveling forty miles through the jungle. The factor offers him a price on his cocoa. He may think it too low, but unless he wants to carry the cocoa back forty miles again he has to accept what the company offers." The triebman usually doesn't want cash for his cocoa. He wants kitchen utensils, flour, gayly printed cotton goods, haberdashery—neckties are in demand now in the fungles—and agricultural implements. The company sells him these things. The Tote-Anna declares, at prices far above the world price level. Shortly after the war Mr. Two-Area went to London from the Gold Coast, determined, he said, to find some way to break the African and Eastern's hold on the Gold Coast's cocoa industry, the colony's principal crop. He studied the methods of British cooperatives. Chiefs Form Co-operative He returned to Gold Coast and persuaded the feudal chieftains to form a co-operative of their own. Mr. Tete-Ann proposed that the chieftains and their subjects should send part of their cocoa direct to Europe or America, to be exchanged there for the manufactured goods which they require. If this could be done successfully, he prophesied all other traders would be forced to meet the co-operative's terms and the exploitation would cease. With the chiefman's consent gained, it then remained to find the capital to put the co-operative in motion. Mr. Tete-Anan returned to London. He could get no credit there, because he says, of the African and Eastern's hostility. He went to Berlin. There he was partly successful. Six weeks ago he came to New York. He now announces the loan has been agreed upon with New York banking interests. [Mr. Tete-Anan paid a visit to the office of The Negro World on Monday afternoon and declared that he had been misquoted by The World on the subject of a staff he would take back with him to Africa and the strictures attributed to him concerning New York Negroes—Editor, Negro World.] U. S. Women Look Best "By Making Most of It" CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—American women are noted for making more of their appearance than those of other nationalities, Eugene, hair style creator for London, Paris and New York, told the annual convention of the American Cosmetician's Society today. "They capitalize every one of their good features and spend the most time on their appearance," said Eugene. "Without doubt they are the most perfectly groomed. Until American women began invading the Paris dress shops one could always spot a Parisian by her smartness." EUROPE INDIA CHINA U.S.A. Study this map! You cannot study it too often.

CO-SPANISH NGIER PARLEY BREAKS DOWN Ish Proposals Rejected ance—Squabble Over out the whole war Tangier served as Abd-el-Krim's political headquarters; his messengers, often influential members of his entourage, came and went between Tangier and the Riff; the sole effort made to restrain them was in the Spanish lines on the frontier of the two moses; in many cases their visits were facilitated and in all cases they were known; a Riff propaganda bureau was permitted in Tangier to which postal facilities were open, while the whole staff of the Mendub was notoriously favorable to Abd-el-Krim's agents and aided their conspiracies against Spain. While much of this was admitted by the French it was affirmed by them that it could be remedied without destroying the international character of the zone which the parties to the Convention of 1923 had no right to do, without the consent of the Algeciras signatories. It was declared that Spain had pledged herself to maintain the international status devised in 1923, and, while all acknowledged that this had not been an entire success, all reform must, be made in conformity with it, and above and beyond all the French and British governments were determined to uphold the principle of internationalization. After this came the deadlock of July 27. ALWAYS THE FINEST HAIR DRESSING NOW THE EASIEST TO USE Snow White 50¢ Amber 25¢ Fascinates you with its fragrance.

Improved Pluko MORE THAN A MILLION PACKAGES USED ANYER Bids Members Keep Faith and Support U. N. L. A. to Limit of Their Resources—Tendered Gifts in Appreciation of Untiring Labors NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night. August 14.—It rained in torrents throughout the afternoon and early evening, but this did not dampen the order of the faithful, who were present in their accustomed sons tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local. Hon. Fred. A. Toota, who retires on the 18th in acting president-general, occupied the chair, and hardly referring to his leave-taking, wound up the meeting, after various speakers had delivered addresses, with a stirring appeal to the membership to keep the faith and continue to support, to the utmost of their resources, the great work which had been launched by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and which meant so much to Negroes everywhere. A splendid musical program was presented, after which the speechmaking followed, addresses being delivered by Mr. Claude Iill, Quartermaster of the U. A. L., Professor Molyneaux, Mr. N. G. G. Thomas, acting managing editor of The Negro World, and Hon. F. A. Toote. The collection was lifted by Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Toote was the recipient of presents at the hands of Mrs. Lambright, acting in behalf of the Division's Society of Ladies for the Propagation of Negro Culture, and Mrs. Molyneaux, in token of their appreciation of his untiring labores for the Association, and especially the New York Local, during his tenure of office. Church in Tokie Forced To Provide Spittoons The day and hour for the dedication of Holy Trinity Church, Tokio, had been set and the congregation was gathering, when one of the city building inspectors approached the chairman of the building committee, bowed deeply and announced, "Very sorry, but today no can do. Spittoons no have got." Then he cleared away the amusement of the chairman by pointing out the regulation which requires one spittoon to be provided in any public hall or gathering place for each fifty people the hall would hold. According to his rechoning, there should be thirty spittoons up and down the alley and a couple for the choir. Holy Trinity now has its adequate number of spittoons, but placed away in a closet, not to be brought out unless another building inspector drops in, says the Boston Globe. Platinum, employed by jewelers for about thirty years only, is now so popular in this country that it was found necessary to import more than $10,000,000 worth last year. The most surprising thing about this metal is its weight. A bar of platinum four inches wide, one-half inch thick and a foot long weighs 30 pounds and is worth about $30,000. Start full of Pool!

O., New York City 350,000 MONGOLS SET FREE IN CHINA BY CHIANG KAI SHEK PEKING, July 16. After being held in bondage for 550 years, the descendants of the Mongols who conquered China in the fourteenth century, and who have been kept in a state of virtual slavery ever since in Chekling Province, south of Shanghai, have been freed by formal edict of Gen. Chiang Kai Shek. From the year 960 to 1137 the Sung dynasty ruled China, undisturbed. Then, at the time of the Crusades in Europe, when Russia also was being overrun by Mongol tribes, the Mongols descended from the north and went upon China. After a long period of civil war and chaos the Mongols founded the Yuan dynasty, with Peking as their capital, in the year 1280. But this dynasty lasted less than a century, being supersoled in 1368 by the Ming dynasty, which in turn overthrown by the Manchus in 1644, the latter holding the Pencock Throne until the "Republic" was founded in 1911. Status of Slaves When the Mongol dynasty collapsed in 1368 and the imperial Yuan family retreated northwestward to Urga, about 30,000 Mongol garrison troops in Chekiang Province were cut off. An imperial edict issued by the first Ming Emperor made these Mongols all slaves, and though they have not for some hundreds of years been subject to personal sale they have been harshly oppressed for five and a half centuries. For 500 years these marooned Mongols have been officially listed as an "inferior race." They have have been debarred from taking part in civil service examinations and have not been permitted to hold public office. So strong has been the prejudice against them that not a single case of intermarriage with a Chinese has ever been recorded. In occupations they have been limited to chair bearers, rickshaw pullers, fishermen, tallors, barbers and shoemakers. Cheap, Lazy, Degenerate Today these Mongols number about 20,000 at Ningpo, where they are nick- named "Lazy Men," 300,000 live at Chuchow and Wenchew, where they are called "Cheap Men," and others distributed throughout the province number 130,000 more and are known as "The Nine Degenerate Families." Under the new mandate all trades and professions are thrown open to these Mongols, their children may be educated with Chinese children (when and if the war does release any revenue for educations purposes), and the best against intermarriage is officially abolished.

"WATCHMAN. WHAT OF THE NIGHT?" THAT was a very remarkable and unusual sermon which Bishop George Alexander McGuire delivered in Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday, July 31, on the opening session of the convention of the Local Division, a full report of which was published in The Negro World of August 6. Bishop McGuire is not only a man with ideas but he has the courage of his convictions. He is not afraid to think rapidly and to speak out bravely what he thinks. This may not appear unusual to some of our readers, but it is unusual. The average man in high and low places is not disposed to think fairly and to speak bravely upon the conditions that confront the race. The disposition to hedge, quibble, to compromise, or to remain silent entirely, is all too prevalent. It is the courageous man who sees and speaks out who plays the part of an unusual man and draws the wavering multitude after him into the paths of right-leanness. We call them reformers who have this sort of disposition and they often become martyrs for opinion's sake. Marcus Garvey is predominantly a man of this character. The world is beginning to regard him as such. Asking those in authority, in the language of the Scriptures, "Watchman, What of the Night?" Bishop McGuire arraigned those in high and low places for the wrongs heaped upon the Negro people in the United States as having no plausible answer to the vital question. But when he asks Marcus Garvey, "Watchman, what of the night?" Marcus Garvey answers: "The morning cometh. I see a free Africa, in which Africans shall dwell in tranquility in a government of Negroes, by Negroes, for Negroes; an Africa redeemed from white aggression and spoilition, to which shall be gathered the scattered sons of Ham." Aye. aye: "Watchman, What of the Night?" "The morning cometh." MR. TOOTE RESIGNS BY THE time this issue of The Negro World comes off the press, Hon. Fred A. Toote's resignation as 1st Assistant President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will have taken effect. We live in the midst of unending changes of one sort or another, and where there is no change there is no growth. It is much that way with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Association must go forward, whatever changes take place within it, to the accomplishment of the purposes that called it into being. With the retirement of Mr. Toote, who pleads failing health, the result of the burden of duties as Acting President-General, as a reason for his resignation, Hon. E. B. Knox, president of the Chicago Division, has been appointed as the personal representative of President-General Marcus Garvey. Mr. Knox is an able and enthusiastic member of the Association and should have the active support of the millions who believe in President-General Garvey and desire that his policies shall prevail in the conduct of the affairs of the association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association must go on to the accomplishment of the high and far-reaching purposes it was created to serve, and it should be a pleasure, as it is a duty, to co-operate actively and earnestly to hold up the hands of those who are placed in authority over the affairs of the association. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE DOES NOT "CHOOSE" TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN We often hear it said that "it came as a flash of lightning out of the clear blue," and we understand it very well as being something wholly unexpected. We promptly sit up and make a note of it. It was that way with the short sentence President Coolidge handed to the newspaper correspondents, at Rapid City, South Dakota, on August 2, that being the fourth anniversary of his accession to the presidency. The little slips of paper handed to the newspaper correspondents by the President and which set the whole country by the ears had written on them only ten words, but they were words that moved the nation. The words were: "I do not choose to run for President in 1928." There had been no intimation at all that any such announcement would be made, and certainly nobody in the country expected any such to be made. It was generally accepted that the President wanted to succeed himself and was shaping matters in that direction. Indeed, the common opinion was that he had set his heart on succeeding himself. To take himself out of the situation with a ten-word statement, and to refuse to comment further on it, put the nation to talking and the candidate to guessing and laying wires of their own. As time went on President Coolidge made it plain that he was in charge that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself, and he immediately came to accept him at his word. Negro citizens were greatly interested in the question as to who will succeed him in the White House, but for the moment they were unable to others in the confusion produced by the Presi- dential administration. There are many Richmonds in the country like to succeed President Coolidge, but it is not easy to get out the one who will bear the helm away. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1987 PROF. AGGRITUS SPLENDED WORK THE sudden death of Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey, in New York, was a shock to the many friends he had made during his long years of preparation here for the educational work in Africa, upon which he had been recently actively engaged. He had a long education in the best and highest education afforded in New York, and he had practical training in the faculty of Livingstone College, at Salisbury, North Carolina, from which school he was a graduate. He gained much reputation as a member of the Phelps-Stokes Fund Commission which made a survey of educational work in Africa under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones. He had many offers to engage in work outside of Africa, but after making a thorough preparation for it as an objective he entered the work in Africa and could not be divorced from it. He was on a visit to his family in this country when he was stricken. What the people in Africa need most is an educated body of men of their own race who understand intimately the needs of the people and are devoted to the work of their uplift. Such a body of men has been gradually growing larger and stronger, and in time will be sufficiently increased to meet the many educational needs of the people. It is not too much to say that Prof. Aggrey was one of the most outstanding African natives engaged in the work of education in the homeland, and even at that he was only at the beginning of his work in Africa. But because of his splendid example and work thousands of young Africans will be inspired to follow in his footsteps and to give their lives to thorough preparation and work for their people in the homeland. The death of one so young, qualified and devoted to their uplift as Dr. Aggrey is a great loss to the people of Africa. AMERICAN COURTS OF JUSTICE CHALLENGED THE world-wide protest against the verdict of death in the cases of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian radicals convicted of murder some six years ago, in the State of Massachusetts, and the violent demonstrations which have been shown by the radicals in this and other countries towards Americans and American administration of government, has had no parallel since the French people were made the target of the world for their treatment of Major Alfred Dreyfus, whom they had condemned to a life of death on Devil's Island, and who were compelled by the protest of the world to reverse themselves and release Major Dreyfus. The general verdict was that Dreyfus had been "framed" because he was a Jew. In the case of Saacco and Vanzetti the general verdict was that they were persecuted as radicals, and that the verdict of death against them was not justified by the evidence. The high court of Massachusetts has sustained the verdict of the lower court and the governor, and a commission of distinguished citizens, after a thorough review of the case, have found no sufficient grounds to override the courts and extend clemency to the condemned. The question naturally arises: Is it reasonable to suppose that the courts of Massachusetts and the governor of the State, and a commission of the most distinguished citizens, among the most enlightened and liberal in the nation, would deliberately, after a thorough consideration of all of the facts, be parties to the legal murder of two innocent men, with the whole world looking on and much of it protesting against the action? Far be it from us to answer the question one way or another, as we are only indifferently informed as to the facts in the case; but it does seem to us to be a challenge by the radical forces of the world to the American courts of justice, and that in the case of one of the most enlightened States of the United States. The Negro people have been and are the victims of so much injustice in American courts that they should be the first to protest against such injustice when aimed at citizens of another group than theirs, but before they enter their protest they want to be sure that the courts are in fault. As matters stand in the Sacco and Vanzetti cases, it looks much to us as if a world-wide movement had been created by the radicals who do not believe in law and legal process to defy and challenge the American courts of justice. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS There is no "easy money" picked up along crime's roadway. It is the hardest and worst money in the world. Even if gained by "taking a chance" it buys no satisfaction or peace even if it does not send one to prison. Millions of it in the pockets of crime can never buy the level eyes, squared shoulders, sense of security and moral values that may be attained by a penny in the pockets of honesty.—Tampa Bulletin. The average editor knows that scandal is indigenous to sordid souls, is believed by the associates and sympathizers of the sordid, and he should hesitate to broadcast scandal concerning anyone. The newspapers should make men; not destroy them.—Star of Zion. Let us all become so inoculated with the disease of health that we will pass it on to everyone we daily meet, to the end that we shall develop a chronic enthusiasm for the one and only virtue, the foundation stone upon which any people can safely and successfully erect their temples of desire.—Cleveland Call. We have shown much strength, and for our sacrifices, we have done the almost unbelievable along most all lines, and as years roll by, adversity has no horrors for us, and we are taking advantage of every little opportunity and demonstrating to those who doubt the Negro's worth, that he is capable of overriding every obstacle.—Oklahoma Eagle. The time has come for colored people to stop their petty foolishness and jealousies toward one another in business and resolve to encourage with their patronage and moral support the businesses conducted by their people.—Portland Advocate. The mind is really supreme, and woman has it as well as man. So she goes into the fields of politics, religion, profession, art and literature with a boomer mind and a fierer sensibility than man, who still relies on force.—Newport News Star. While the necessity for celebrating the emancipation of physical slavery does not exist, there is yet an economic slavery which fetters us, much of which can be relieved by our own efforts. It would be well if intelligent study be given this phase of our life.—Boston Chronicle. Civilization consists in the attainment of a greater liberty of action for the development of the social group Denied the means of making it possible reduces a people to hardships and dis- couragement with the attendant result of poverty. Labor is the basis of accomplishment along any line and when employment is limited it strikes at the very foundation of the existence of the community—Chicago World. It may be all right to be content with what you have; never with what you are—St. Louis Argus. There are some movements, some programs, some policies and some endeavors in this nation, and ever among our people which are not precipitated by hidden desires or selfish purposes. Some people are among us who are concerned with the right. Altruism has not been entirely destroyed, and it is the duty of the general public to consider carefully and seriously the contentions and preachments of each man and every school of thought before condemnations are made—Birmingham Report. ALL MEN ARE LIARS Mr. E. Stanley McAdam writes that the writer of "Random Jottings" declares all men are liars. Mr. McAdam goes on to say that most married men are the biggest liars out. He next refers to the inglorious attack on women in the legislature the other day and observes that the administrative ability of most of our mothers and sisters and wives cannot be questioned. Many married men who are lead in their depreciation of women were made something to reckon with because of the thriftiness, carefulness and far-sightedness of a woman. If we had many of our educated women sitting at the boards of many of our public institutions, much of the mismanagement and unworthable rules would not be made and many wrongs would not be perpetrated—Belle Independent. WHAT WE LOOK FOR What we look for we usually find, he it pleasure or pain. We do not choose unhappiness—who would, but we expect it often, look for it—and find it. Who has not searched for four-hand drovers and found them? Yet we might room the same fields unthinkingly and never see one. If we look for joy, brightness, beauty, how, we shall surely be to look upon them, while if we look their appearance, they too, will appear. We find what we look for—almost independent. BOTHERS AND VACATION BY AMY JACQUES GARVEY Only two weeks more left for vacationalem. Some people delight in going out the last two weeks in order to escape the mid-season rush, since a real vacation to some is not the idea of meeting people, but avoiding people, and a chance to enjoy mature at its fullest, with the least possible human contact. Many of us have not had a vacation in years, like this writer; yet we are appreciative of the great benefits derived from a vacation—change of air, change of scenery, rest from work, a chance to meditate and formulate new plans and resolves for the coming fall. Two weeks of real rest and change is worth a year's doctor's bill. If we would care for our bodies as diligently as we care for a delicate piece of machinery there would be less sickness and death and humanity made happier because of less grief. But most of us forget that our bodies need rest at times. We keep on working until there is a complete collapse, then there are the usual regrets—"If I had known." Much money has now to be spent for doctors, nurses, medicines and nourishment, and finally the doctor orders you away for a change—the same thing that you needed months ago, and which could have saved you so much expense and worry. Persons who are so employed that they cannot get a week or two off for vacation, can certainly use their weekends for outings to nearby country resorts or sea beaches. This arrangement is helpful to large families who cannot afford to rent a cottage or pay big hotel bills. And while we are thinking of large families, let us remind our readers of the worn-out mothers of such families. It is generally believed that if all the children are away mother can have a fine rest. But rest is not all she wants, and furthermore she is just likely to busy herself with getting the children's clothes ready for the reopening of school, preserving fruits and changing the rooms around, and at the end she will be prostrated with backaches. Mother needs, not only rest, but an entire change of surroundings. Men have a grand way of saying to housewives: "Oh, you are home all day; I don't see why you should be tired." Yet these same men would not have the patience to stand one-fifth of the annoyances incumbent on a housewife. Here is a nerve-wracking job—she must try to please every crank in the family; nurse them when they are sick and soothe their griefs; yet her work is not really appreciated, and she is the last to be thought of when vacation period comes around. Let this be a reminder to father and children to see to it that mother gets a few days' vacation before the hot days are gone. HEALTH TOPICS BY DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Fabulousia and Health Association For the Health of Your Children Once again we read the story of a whole family in this State who became ill of smallpox through carelessness. A daughter of the family became infected with the disease on a visit to a neighboring town. When the girl was first taken ill, neither she nor her family called a doctor. In a short time the other nine members of the family came down with the disease. If the family had made use of modern health measures none of them would have become ill. In the first place, every one of them should have been vaccinated against smallpox. As it were, the father was the only one who had ever been vaccinated, and he had not had it done since he was a child. After the daughter became ill, the family should have called the doctor to diagnose the case and to prescribe treatment. He would have vaccinated the other members, so that none of them would have had the disease. However, through carelessness they all became ill. Smallpox can be prevented, but the only way to do this is by vaccination. Every child should be vaccinated before he goes to school. It is best to have it done when he is two years old, or soon thereafter. The vaccination does not hurt and will not make him ill. It will make him immune to one of the most fatal and most loathsome diseases—smallpox. This may save his life or perhaps save him from going through life deformed by loathsome pock-marks. Vaccination should be repeated every seven years. Sometimes immunity will last for life from one vaccination, and often does after two vaccinations. But it is best to have the test made every seven years to make certain of immunity. IF YOU HAVE TUBERCULOSIS The first thing to do, of course, is to start treatment for recovery at once, so that you may get better as soon as possible. It is most important that you trust your doctor and have faith in his diagnosis. Then follow his instructions carefully and keep cheerful. Tuberculosis can be cured. Every year a large number of people are being dismissed from hospitals and other institutions as "arrested cases." Remember this, and keep cheerful, no matter what the conditions surrounding you may be. Rest is one of the most important of the four essentials in recovery from tuberculosis. You must get a great deal of this in order to help your body combat the disease and recover from it. Fresh air, sunlight and good food are the three other essential in recovery from the disease. You should get plenty of all of these and should spend just as much time in the again as possible. Plan to go to a monastery or hospital where you will learn how to take care of yourself. This will hasten your愈 and will keep you from infecting these about you, especially the children in your home, who are very susceptible to this disease. THROUGH BLACK·SPECTACLES The Negro World appeals to its growing army of readers and well-wishers for donations toward a fund to be raised for the purpose of meeting certain specific obligations and for extending the paper's usefulness to the race. The members of the U. N. L. A. owe more to The Negro World than is conceivable just now. Contrary to popular belief, the Hon. Marcus Garvey had not one but three great dreams of conquest—three formidable highways of service to his race and humanity: a world-wide organization that could inspire black men to political autonomy; economic independence for Africans everywhere through the establishment of giant industrial and commercial enterprises, and a mighty journal of African culture that could belt the whole world of Negrodom. The will power and determination of Garvey made The Negro World possible, while the potency of The Negro World created the Black Star Line, that imperishable enterprise which started civilization and brought unmeasured glory to Negropeople. The triumphant ride of the B. S. Yarmouth across the Atlantic and Caribbean was the star that illuminated the U. N. L. A. and brought millions into its fold.

Today The Negro World stands out as the accepted voice of an awakened race. It graces the embassy of every important nation in the capitals of the world. It is read weekly by the British and French Foreign Offices. The whole East read it as vigorously as we read "Asia." It is translated into scores of dialects twenty-four hours after arrival in Africa, and carried by fleet runners into the hinterland, up the great lakes of Southeast Africa, and the uncharted reaches of the Nile, the Congo, the Zambesi and the Niger, where millions of our fellowmen wait in silence for its arrival. It is carefully read by leading historians, philocopers, statesmen and thinkers of the world. It is to the Africans what the "Washington Post," the "London Times" and "Le Matin" are to Anglo-Saxon. The Negro World is not a commission international; hence it spends no less than that which guides the illustrious founder intended, first, the Africa and to the race rather than was a secondary matter. Therefore without price must see to it that it primarily to those member of the independence. This paper serves it has revolutionized world opinion.

It is not too much to such a worthy appeal. You can make you feel that way about it. And ke in the lighthouse ceases to revolve—merged rocks and all is lost. The Negro World is not a community paper. Its vision is universal, its mission international; hence it sponsors a program of racial preservation that is no less than that which guides the policies of its white contemporaries. Its illustrious founder intended, first, that it should be an institution of service to Africa and to the race rather than a money-making proposition, which to him was a secondary matter. Therefore those whom The Negro World serves without price must see to it that its usefulness is preserved. This is an appeal primarily to those members of the race who are serious about freedom and independence. This paper serves not only Garveyites, but the race at large. It has revolutionized world opinion anent the Negro as well as Negro journalism. Its fearlessness is now being copied by every large paper controlled by our group, and its doctrine of racial solidarity is being promulgated with the vision and courage of Marcus Garvey. If there is anything in which The Negro World should take pride it is the knowledge that it has aroused world opinion to the continued exploitation and subjugation of Africa and Africans, and has successfully educated the intelligentsia and the masses of our group to the grave danger of living apart from Africa and its undeveloped natural resources. The importance of The Negro World in the life of the Negro is fixed. It is the port of our fathers, the sanctuary of our lilies, our star of destiny. It is our duty to keep it virile and unfettered. The white man fears its hold upon the minds of millions of oppressed peoples of color. Let us keep it so. Investing in The Negro World is safer than the Bank of England. Our brethren at home and abroad must have it. Will you fail them? The world must be kept informed of the aspirations and ambitions of black men the world over. You must be kept informed of the schemes of the League of Nations and other political bodies to pass Africa over to the control of white men. It is not enough that you know you are living; the bigger problem is, how long can you live under such political and economic tyranny as is being follwed upon us? What steps must be taken to fight successfully for the right to share in the blessings of creation—God's gift to all men? The Negro World is your lighthouse. Make it possible to keep the keeper at his post of duty by giving liberally to this FUND. It is not too much to expect that $10,000 will be realized from such a worthy appeal. You can make this paper a million-dollar institution if you feel that way about it. And keep in mind what happens when the light in the lighthouse ceases to revolve—the good ship bears down upon the submerged rocks and all is lost. Sir Harry Johnson Passes The hand of death has removed other interesting character in the per- explorer and colonizer.

The hand of death has removed from the body politic of civilization another interesting character in the person of Sir Harry Johnson, named African explorer and colonizer. Because of the brilliant part he played in the development of various "spheres of influence" for his king and country, and the rich data he compiled on Africa and Africana, he has carved his name high up alongside those of Cecil Rhodes, Livingstone and other immortal empire builders. He was blessed with a wonderful physique and possessed rare tact and judgment, which contributed largely to his success as a colonial administrator. His latter days were devoted to writing of his experiences and occasionally advising his government on native affairs, particularly in the new colony of Kenya and South Africa. Sir Harry was not slow to note the effects of white civilization upon the oppressed natives. Years of psychological and biological study had convinced him of the uncertainty of allon rule in Africa, and while he was yet alive he warned his country and the world of the real danger ahead. Mr. John Carlyle, a very brilliant Sir Harry's warning to the world in A GREAT NEWS By Joan The day may come when a great public. This is not an idle thought, through the eyes of an empire build. That man and that empire build quietly in his Sussex home in England Africa. As Cecil Rhodes gave to his cousin Johnston has made Rhodesia and Uganda. When this man foresees a black ritory now owned and controlled by him, a prediction that must make us laugh. North Africa is European; another great portion of Africa, not the climate, spells death for the white man. The Negro grows in intelligence, day will come when he will seize and he alone is fitted. And Sir Harry goes even further he sees the day when even British Sons lost to the flag. This is looking far.

The day will come when the white black man in Africa. That dealing of it may be the dealing of honest mutu. The rise of a race does not need to There is still room upon the earth. Africa will be one of the great prizes. All May Yet Live In Steel Houses Mr. John Carlyle, a very brilliant writer of national reputation, relayed Sir Harry's warning to the world in one of the big Mid-Western dailies thus: The day may come when a great part of Africa will be a vast Negro republic. This is not an idle thought, but the prediction of a man who looks through the eyes of an empire builder. That man and that empire builder is Sir Harry Johnston, now living quietly in his Sussex home in England. Forty years Sir Harry spent in Africa. As Cecil Rhodes gave to his country British South Africa, so Sir Harry Johnston has made Rhodesia and Uganda and Nyasaland for England. When this man foresees a black republic occupying much of the very territory now owned and controlled by his own beloved Great Britain he is making a prediction that must make us stop and think. North Africa is European; South Africa is thoroughly British. There is another great portion of Africa, not including the desert of Sahara, where the climate spells death for the white man. The Negro grows in intelligence. Signs of vision are at the surface. The day will come when he will seize and operate his own land—the land for which he alone is fitted. And Sir Harry goes even further. With the success of a Negro republic he sees the day when even British South Africa, now seemingly secure, may be lost to the flag. This is looking far. It is looking beyond your lifetime and mine. And yet man is a small creature, indeed, if he cannot visualise and appreciate the world beyond the confines of his momentary life. Princes of the royal houses of Europe go to Africa to hunt and shoot. They would do better to give time and attention to the people of Africa rather than to its lions and leopards. The day will come when the white man will have to deal seriously with the black man in Africa. That dealing does not need to be the dealing of war. It may be the dealing of honest mutual helpfulness. The rise of a race does not need to mean the warlike supremacy of a race. There is still room upon the earth. Cannot races rise together? Africa will be one of the great problems bequeathed to our grandson. GARY, Ind.—The first steel home is being erected in Gary, the steel city.

WASHINGTON HOPED TO DRAIN THE DISMAL SWAMP George Washington once explored a part of Dismal Swamp in North Caro- Una with a view to draining the lands and rendering them available for cul- ‘Uvation, The results of this explore- thom he set forth in = letter to Hugo Williamson, a North Carolina legisia- tor, written from Mount Vernon March 31, 1784, says the Detroit News. In the letter he wrote: “I traversed Drummond's Pond through its whole circuit, and at a time when ft was brimful of water. I lay one night on the east border of ft, on ground something abore the com- mon level of the swamp, and in the morning I had the curiosity to ramble as ‘ar into the swamp as I could get with convenience, to the distance of perhaps $60 yards, nnd found that the water, which, nt the margin of the lake (after it had excecded ite nat- ural bounds) was stagnant, began per- ceptibly to move eartward: and at the extent of my walk it hd deepened, got more into a channel and increased ob- viously into its motion. This discovery left no doubt in my mind that the cur- | rent was dencending into one of the rivers of Albemarle Sound. I directed our manager to explore it fully. To the best of iny recollection, he some time afterward informed me that he nad done so, that it wan found to be the head of the northwest river, that jo the place where the water had formed a regular channel of consider- able width and depth did not exceed four miles, and that from thence down- ward to the present navigation of the river there was no other obstruction 1o small craft than fallen trees.” Ingersoll’s Oratory Moved His Captors to Tears Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, commanding the Eleventh Cavalry of Illinois in the Civil War, was taken prisoner by Gen. Forrest's Tennessee Tigern and that night a’most demoralized them with his oratory. Seated with his captors in a general store, relaten Cameron ‘Rogers in his “Life of Ingersoll.” In- Bersoll, urged to make a speech, climbed on a box and talked as @ frlend to friends. Forrest's men had never owned slaves. They were fighting aguinst the right of the Federal Government to Interfere with the affairs of their par- ticular State. They craved liberty, and Ingerscil pictured to them a Ub- erty that they wore destroying, the personal liberty of men no less human than themaclvex. So effective was his speech, his cap- tora began to weep and curse slavery. They seemed to renounce their elie- glance to their cause when Forrest suddenly exclaimed, “Here, Ingersoll, stop that apeech and I'll exchange you for a Government mule.” Taking in- sersoll aside, ho xatd: “Hell, you were demoralizing my whole command. Just the same, if your Government hadn't suspended ex- changes I'd ship ye home to-morrow. As it is, I reckon th» parole camp at St. Loula in the best I kin do for xe, Colonel.” He ecemed reluctant to bid hia prisoner good nisht and pecred at him closely in the semi-darkness.

They breed in inaccessible places, where they suspend themselves during the day head downward from the branches of trees with their wings gathered around them. Thousands of them may be thus seen hanging from branches. They resemble huge shriveled up leaves or clusters of peculiar fruit. When the shades of night begin to fall the fying foxes sally forth in flocks and raid orchards and farms, All kinds of fruits are accept- able to these bats, enys the Pathfinder. ‘They are so mumerous in some aec- tions that no garden crop has much chance of being harvested unless it ts protected from this pest. Some flying foxes have a wingapread of five feet or more. In some parts of the Malay Archipelago theese large beta are veed by the natives for food. The natives seek out the bate during the day and knock them down with clubs. One person can often capture a whole bas- ketfull in a few minutes. The flesh is wald to resemble that of the rabbit. Early People Liked to See Animals at Cloee Rangs | Long before Christ the desire of the public to view wild animals, birds, reptiles and fish at close range mant- feated iteelf. Royal preserves and monaneries are as old an the olvilisa- tions of Asryria and Egypt. In 1100 B. C. it is reported that the first emperor of the Chou dynasty in China established a xoological garden, the firet of {ts kind of which there ts detinite knowledge, says the Detroit News. This garden was called Intel- Ugence Park, and appears to have had scientific and educatlunal objects, Tho Fancient Remans kept in capacity large ‘numbers of such animals an leoparda, Hons, bears, elephants, wild cattle, bison, antelopes, giraffes, camels rhi- noceroses and hippopotamuses, as well as ostriches and crocodiles, Emperor Frederick I. had at his Selliaa court a notable collection from which he sent to Henry Il. of Eng- land three leopards, in compliment to the three animals of that species that appeared in the monarch'n coat of arms. These animals, with an elo- phant sent not long afterward by, Louis IX. of France, formed the nu- cleus of the famous Tower Menagerie.

Whittaker, for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have lined up on the convention program and have written the various divisions to have a four days' convention in Port Lincoln, beginning from Garvey Day, August 7, 8, 9 and 10. Rev. Whittaker states he is working hard, with the help of the officers and members of the division and a few foreign officers just arrived, to build up the work of the division.

CUBA During the tour of Lady Henrietta Viston Davia, Fourth Assistant President General of the U. N. L. A., accompanied by her private secretary Miss Rafnela Thomas, through the island of Cuba in the interest of the U. N. L. A., a conference was called by Miss Davis for the purpose of uniting the divisions in a concerted drive for the bettering of the serious economical conditions raging in the island. The conference took place in the city of Camaguey, commencing on the 3d of July and lasting until the 7th of August. Owing to the financial strain some of the divisions could not be represented. The following divisions sent delegates: Mr. W. W. Tennison, Guanabacona Division, Havana; Mr. P. E. J. Davis, Central Francisco Division, No. 640; Mr. O. H. Brown, Central Marareno Division, No. 733; Mr. John J. Samuela, Central Vertientes Division, No. 782; Mr. Soloman U. Smith, Sola Division, No. 691; Mr. Frank Francis, Mr. A. W. T. White and Mr. L. P.

Several successful meetings were held, at which plans were held for community service and upbuilding of the work of the division. It was the desire of all present to promote the best spirit of fellowship so that real co-operation may come to exist. The resolutions passed and decisions arrived at were riveted in the minds of all by the earnest plea of Miss Davis, and one could see from the earnestness of the delegates that the invaluable suggestions would be put into practice if due support were given them. On Saturday night, August 6, a remarkable drama was staged at Liberty Hall, entitled "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice," which was well attended and culminated in a general dance, at which the Wittie Jazz Band played a fine part. Sunday night marked the termination of the Conference with a mam-moth mass meeting, at which inspiring addresses were delivered by all the delegates. ALARIC T. WELSH, Reporter.

CIBEO DE AVILA, CUBA On Sunday, July 24, this division was graced with the presence of Lady H. V. Davis and her private secretary, Miss R. Thomas. They arrived from Jatibonice on the 2:15 p. m. train and were escorted to the home of the lady president, Mrs. M. Linton. Sorry to say that Lady Davis arrived in quite a fatigued condition due from past illness. It seemed at first impossible for her to visit Liberty Hall owing to her weak state. Anyway at 2:15 p. m. irrespective of her condition she braved the atmosphere and went to Liberty Hall, there to find an overwhelmed crowd of members and friends awaiting to extract from the fount of knowledge some of the lessons relative to the U. N. L. A., its founder, Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the principles of the association. As they arrived at the door of the hall, she was met by a corps of Black Cross Nurses, African Police and officers who escorted them to the restrum whilst the congregation pealed forth the hymn, "Shine on Eternal Light." The religious part of the program was performed by the chapelman, Mr. T. H. Osborne, who spoke on the reawakening of the Negroes. The literary part of the program was taken by the president, Mr. R. T. Webley. A welcome address was read to Lady Davis by the president and in behalf of the Ladies League a bouquet of flowers was handed to her by the lady last vice president, Miss R. Thomas. The president gave a short but thoughtful talk on the principles of the association. Miss Epsy Thompson (juvenile) gave an interesting address. Lady Davis in a befitting manner inspired the minds of the hearers with an address lasting about fifteen minutes. Miss Thomas is one of the rising geniuses of our race and in an eratological manner she kept the huge gathering spellbound for about thirty-five minutes. The following is the program: Processional hymn; "Shine on Eternal Light"; Opening ode; prox; Hymn 113 ritual; "Tedeum"; chaplain's address; reading of welcome address; president's remarks; song by the choir; "Over Yonder"; address by Miss Epsey Thompson; solo by Miss A. Sydney; address by Lady Davis; duet by Misses Thomas and Sydney; address by Mr. L. E. Linton; 1st vice president; President General Hymn; address by Miss R. Thomas; address by Mr. C. E. Brown; closing remarks by the president; Ethiopian Anthem and benediction. On Monday night, July 5, another huge mass meeting was held. The hall was crowded as on the previous night. Lady Davis was indisposed but at 8:30 p.m. accompanied by the president, Miss Thomas, Lady Davis' secretary, arrived at Liberty Hall. The audience sung lustily to the strain of the opening ode. The religious ceremonies were performed by the chapel, Mr. T. H. E. Osborne. The president gave a warm address. Master Marcus Bishop gave a fine address. Hymn, "O Africa Awaken" was sung. Address by Miss Thomas who spoke for over one hour enthusiastically in both English and Spanish. President gave notice and the meeting came to a close by the singing of the National Anthem and benediction. On Tuesday another large mass meeting was held. Meeting began at 8 p.m. sharp. Lady Davis, who was much improved, was able to be out. President Webley performed the ritualistic ceremonies. Lady Davis gave a thrilling address on "Leadership," giving many quotations to the same and was much applauded. Miss Thomas also gave a parting address. An appeal was made and three members enrolled. Clego will always be grateful for such distinguished visitor. The program was as follows: Opening ode; ritualistic ceremonies; address by the president; Hymn 118; address by Miss R. Virgo; address by Miss Mandeline Davis (juvenile); address by Mrs. M. Linton, lady president; hymn, "God Bless Our President"; address by Lady Davis; solo by Mr. Archer; address by Mr. Linton; address by Miss Thomas; hymn; address by Mr. Osborne; closing remarks; National Anthem and benediction. ALBERTHA SYDNEY. Bemerger. The Barnes Division under its president, Mr. A. T. McClarty, is still advancing despite the many obstacles in her path. Many of our most active members have recently gone to live in other communities. Among those are Mecswan, C. M. Clarke, chaplain; A. S. Cunning, 3d vice president; L. L. Francis, associate secretary, and Mendames A. Bonnie and Theodore A. Wallace of the A. B. C. N. All have taken credentials, so we do not hesitate to recommend them to those with whom they come in contact, and also hope that wherever they may domicile they will leave no stone unturned to erect divisions in the name of God, Garvey and the U. N. I. A. The Garvey Day was well observed in the division on Sunday August 8 Divine service was conducted at 4 p.m. by Mr. Jno A. James, acting chaplain. At 7 p.m. a big mass meeting was staged. The uniformed units under their commander marched up the alley while the audience sang the Processional Hymn. When all were duly seated, the program was rendered as follows: Opening ode; ritualistic ceremony by Mr. Jno A. James, acting chaplain. At this juncture Mr. A. T. McClarty, president, was introduced as chairman. Singing of President's Hymn; solo by Miss Adaen Banberry; address by Mr. Charles Cadogan; address by Mr. A. T. McClarty. This was very forceful and inspiring. Recitation by Mr. Philip Scarlett. On the rendering of an anthem by the choir a generous offering was lifted. Solo by Lady President Miss E. Cunningham; address by Mr. G. C. Douglas, executive secretary. This was very forceful and had much food for thought; solo by Mrs. B. Rurt, 3d lady vice president; solo by Miss S. Lawrence. After singing of Hymn "Abide With Me" the meeting closed with anthem, "Ethiopia." With all that has been said of the U. N. I. A. and its "Africa for the African" program, the members of the Banes Division are just as sincere today as they were in the days gone by, and are determined to hold fast till Marcus Garvey's dreams come true. 8. J. W. MUNROK, Reporter. LOS ANGELES, CAL Sunday, July 17, was women's day in the Los Angeles Division. Mr. H. Hoxie, president, called the meeting to order. The opening ode was sung, followed with prayer and scripture lesson by the chaplain. After short address by the president, the meeting was turned over to Mrs. S. C. Swan, first lady vice president. The program continued as follows: Duet by Miss Ammon and Miss Banks; aims and objects read by Mrs. M. C. Bembry; song by the choir, "God Bless Our President"; front page of The Negro World read by Miss Ammon. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. M. E. Berry, lady secretary. Her subject was "The U. N. I. A." Her address was very interesting. Collection was taken by Mrs. J. Ammon and Mrs. Gentry. The meeting was then turned over to the president. He spoke of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whom the Ethiopian people all over the world have elected as their leader. He said we will never stop the night until he is free. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem and prayer by the chaplain. M. C. BEMBRY, Reporter. CLEVELAND, OHIO On Saturday, August 27, the Cleveland Division will hold an extraordinary excursion to Chicago. A special train will leave Wheeling, Lake Erie Station, Huron Road, at 8 p. m. for Kent. From Kent the excursion will proceed to Chicago by way of Akron and Barberton. It will return on Monday morning before working hours. A refreshment car will be carried. Fare. $9.50 round trip. Children half fare. Mombers and friends are urged to come and make this excursion the biggest success in the history of the division. Owning an auto in China is distinctly a luxury. The license fee in one city costs $27.50 a month and when gasoline is cheap it is $1.50 a gallon. In addition, a jeunt off the main thoroughfare requires the services of at least four attendants.

In, with Hendquarters 58 West 123d St. New York City, R. B. Hines R. G. C. TAMPA, FLORIDA Sunday, August 8, Garvey Day, was solemnly observed here. All three meetings being utilized for that purpose. The morning prayer meeting was devoted to prayers and supplications, to our Heavenly Father, for the early release of our beloved leader, Marous Garvey, without deportation. The afternoon meeting saw several speakers mount the restrum, to ecologize and bring vividly before the people, the person of the one and only, Marous Garvey; his deeds in the past; his suffering in the present; and his optimistic observations on the future. The evening meeting began promptly at 8 o'clock with the singing of the opening ode by the choir. Invocation by the chaplain, Rev. Jones, was followed by the reading of the ritual. The choir rendered some special selections, after which the meeting was turned over to the president. Mr. John Clay was accorded the honor of being called upon as the chief speaker of the evening. He delivered a few remarks anent "Current events, at home and abroad, and their relations to the Negro." At the instigation of lady president, Mrs. M. L. Glymp, the Black Cross Nurses put on a play. Mrs. Bomaparte had the job of directing and training the characters, and the result showed, without a doubt, that she really knows her "stuff." The play was a dramatization of the poem, "Black Woman," written by the Hon. Marus Garver. Mrs. Anne Sapp acted as "Queen of Africa," and five nurses represented the five nations that sprung from the original "Black Woman." The five nations and ladies representing them were: Indian, Mrs. Loola Bonaparte; China, Mrs. Jesse Benjamos; Japanese, Mrs. Nancy Walton; European, Mrs. Mary Bailey; Africa, Mrs. Ida Hamilton. The play was a revelation and served to show what splendid talent we have here in this division. The Legion boys are giving a big dance on the 16th of this month.

FIGUEROA, Editor Tempo propicio para encarriar nuestro movimiento—Mentes claras y corazones aguerridos como requisitos indispensables—La organización y sus enseñanzas prácticas—El mundo entero observa nuestras actuaciones—Posición en que las circunstancias han colocado al ilustre leader—Como hacerle feliz Durante las últimas dos semanas los miembros de la organización llevaron a cabo la consumación de los programas en las convenciones locales celebradas. A medida que pasan los años y con ellos el tiempo propicio para las convenciones, las responsabilidades que recaen sobre los hombros de los miembros leales de esta institución, se hacen mas serias y ello requiere mentes claras y corazones aguerridos, para llevar adelante con celo e inalterable conducta los movimientos a seguir, sin la orientación y disciplina inmediata del jefe ausente. Estas mentes claras deben estar preparadas para no ser simplemente subvertidas por pequeñas controversias ni adulaciones; estos corazones aguerridos no deben desorientarse por la auencia forzosa del martir de nuestra causa. Sus adeptos, se ha dicho muchas veces, han pasado la prueba de fuego de una manera valerosa. Los observadores jamas han cesado de marvillarse por el espléndido espíritu desplegado por todos los miembros y la sincera y sorprendente exhibición de fe en los principios de la organización, así como su lealtad al gran fundador y leader de la misma. Los negros han probado que ellos estan preparados para cualquier cosa, dándose el caso hará tiempo de que tales cosas seria imposible que secediesen y obtener los resultados que palpamos al presente. La sublime fe del Hon. Marcus Garvey en su pueblo, ha sido mas que vindicada. Es verdad que la prisión fue un terrible sarcasmo del destino que él tuviera que encontrar en su senda de apostolado. Perdónesenos si la tra y el enojo no se envuelve cuando pensamos en tal cosa; mas nos alienta considerar que las actuaciones del gran leader cuando estaba libre, fueron altamente honradas y sinceras; su proceder fue bueno. Conciente o inconcientemente, los garveistas han aprendido que no importa lo mucho que se quiere y se estime al hombre, los principios en que descansa la organización estan por encima de todo y deben tener mayor consideración. El enseñó esta lección; la practicó en toda su extención y el tiempo nos indica la bondad de su enseñanza. Ninguna organización de la clase y extensión de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra puede fracasar, al tener que arrostar una continuada serie de graves problemas por resolver. La contextura natural de una organización como ésta, hace que los asuntos crezcan diariamente y lógico es suponer que siempre hayan diferencias de opiniones, para el encausamiento de los asuntos y la solución de los problemas que se presenten. No puede haber un progreso real sin estas alternativas. El negro esta actualmente aprendiendo la importante lección de diferir en ideas, discutirlas y analizarlas sin acudir a la disgregación. La mayoría de los miembros de esta organización se han dado cuenta de como actuar en este sentido, y en este hecho descansa el secreto de cualquier éxito que la organización haya podido obtener, durante la ausencia de su gran leader. Ella muy pronto cambiará a una nueva página en el libro de sus actuaciones y comenzará otra etapa en su viaje hacia la redención de Africa y el establecimiento de una nación para los negros, en la tierra que Dios les diera. El Hon. Marcus Garvey esta mudo; sus manos estan atadas; mas él implora a la raza desde lo mas recóndito de su corazón, el que permanezca firme y continue en la palestra, apesar de todos los pesares. Ningun hombre podria tener mas elevados ideales ni mejor altura de mira, como la implantada por nuestro leader para los negros que pueblan la faz de este planeta. Otras naciones, blancas y de color estan observando al negro para ver si este ha alcanzado el estado de desarrollo racial, que le puede ser propicio para hacer suyo y defender tan altruista ideal. La cuestión capital es si nosotros vamos a salvar los obstaculos con banderin desplegado, o si vamos a ser lo suficientemente tontos para perder de vista el objetivo y meramente seguir la imagen reflejada por el mismo. El perlodo de las convenciones es el tiempo mas adecuado para la introducción de medidas y programas mas constructivos, para estabilizar la organización. Esta gran institución es una colección de unidades Hamadas divisiones, v a medida que estas progresen y se expandan. es deoner que la organización en si crece en desarrollo y indique sus actividades. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1987 ECOS DE LAS DIVISIONES Charter No. 150, Remedios, Cuba. El dia 1° de agosto se llevó a cabo en este ramal la celebración del aniversario de la abolición de la esclavitud en las antillas inglesas, cuyo acto se vió revestido de gran animación. En el se propagó ademas la doctrina de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Entre los números del selecto programa figuraban dos bandas de música; una dirijida por el Sr. Michael Robinson y la otra por el Sr. Celedonio García, las cuales deleitaron a la concurrencia con sus selecciones. Entre los discursos de propaganda merecen especial mensión el 'el Sr. George H. S. Reid, presidente de este ramal, del el Sr. Edgar S. Reid, miembro del mismo y el del Sr. Jutan Erizarde, visitante, quien hablo en español. El Charter No. 150 hace extensiva su gratitud al Sr. Raul Rojas por su ayuda excepcional, a las autoridades locales por su cooperación y a todas aquellas personas que tan bondadosamente cooperaron al exito de la reunión. Por el entusiasmo manifestado en dicha festividad, los miembros del Charter No. 150 de Remedios, Cuba, estan convencidos de que su ramal irá en progreso, siendo este el augurio de un futuro mas brillante. El despertar de los pueblos oprimidos Fuertes vientos de amancipación nacional soplan sobre inmensas regiones en Asia, en Africa y en America. La bandera de la rebelión contra el esclavizamiento y la conquista se alza en China y en la India, en Egipto y en Africa del Noroeste, en la Indonesia lo mismo que en las Filipinas. El odio a la esclavitud y a la opresión, la aspiración a una vida mejor, mas libre y más culta, surge en todas partes del orbe explotado. Despues de la guerra mundial los movimientos de liberación nacional fuecon agujoneados por la revolución rusa, que estableció la soberania del proletario, que no reposa sobre la explotación y que ha transformado el imperio explotador de Rusia, opresor de centenares de pueblos, en una libre federación de pueblos iguales. La mas grande nació imperialista se transformó, irrevocablemente. El ejenjo histórico de un estado obrero que reposa sobre las ruinas de aquella potencia imperialista, brilla como una estrella sobre la ruta que conduce a la libertad de las naciones oprimidas y esclavizadas. Nadie podrá oponerse a esta voluntad potente de libertad y de independencia; se necesita ser looco o miserable filesteo o simple rutinaria para creer que la civilización de hoy y el porvenir del mundo, no pertenece sino a Europa y a los Estados Unidos de America. El movimiento de independencia nacional de los pueblos asiáticos, africanos y americanos, es en su expansion, un verdadero milagro, y solo el será capaz de hacer de nuestro planta un mundo civilizado, valiendose, para organizarse contra la vieja sociedad capitalista, del proletario que lucha por su liberación. Solo el podrá escribir la nueva página de su liberación en la historia del mundo, historia que por primera vez, será una historia universal, la historia del género humano. La sola revolución china, movimiento de liberación de cuatrocientos millones de lamas, en un hecho de importancia histórica que eclipsa muchos hechos salientes de la historia de Europa. Que los dirigentes de esta vieja y pequeña parte del mundo renuncian a sus ilusiones arcaicas que no corresponden ya a la realidad y que hacen una impresión miserable y ridiculo. El mundo entero se mueve y la menor de sus vibraciones repercute sobre toda la extención del globo. El ejemplo de la poqueña república de Nicaragua muestra que una oposición persistente, aun en contra de los poderosos gigantes imperialistas, en posible gracias a la propaganda que en oposición hace entre un gran número de pueblos más fuertes y que estan igualmente interesados en defender su propia independencia. Sin embargo, si la oposición, aun la mas endergica, no va al encuentro de los propietarios imperialistas, catos no abandonaran su prensa. La joven republika ha tenido que transportar sus capitals al interior del país con el fin de proteger su independencia centrar el ataque de los exploitadores. Después de la guerra mundial hemos asistido a movues guerreros colonizales en Marruecos y en Siria. Balo la provida del movimiento nacional en Mgipita, la Gran Brutafia se ubió obligánda a concederle, por escriba, una excelce de independencia de autonómia. La Gran Brutafia con timua sin embargo, con la ayuda de fuerzas militares mantenidas en el país, violando los derechos del pueblo agipcio de la manera mas brutal. Ella no pierde la esperanza de ado-derase del Sudan, que guarda el recuerdo sangriento de los actos "heróicos" de Lord Kitchener. Con el fin de mantener su poder y, al mismo tiempo, en nombre de su seudo prestigio—del cual tienen una concepción de las mas hipócratas basadas sobre un imperialismo des-vergonzado—los ladrones del siglo, orgullosos de su cultura y de su cristianismo, se inquestran, como en otra época, capaces de los actos mas cruelmente inhumanos y más barbaros, llenos de espiritu de venganza. Quién olvidará jamas el catione bestial, a seis metros de distancia, en Wahnsien contra chinos desarmados cuya sangre enrojeció las aguas del Yang-Tse, Kian? Quién no recuerda el tono brutal y triunfante de las descripciones y relatos de esta masacre inaudita hecha por los principales organos de la prensa de la cultisima nacion inglesa? Quién ha olvidado la brutalidad con que hicieron fuego en la India sobre una tropa desarmada en el interior del mercado de Amritsar, a puertas cerradas? Quién ha olvidado que el general D'Dyer recibió una "honorable" distincion de aquellos que aprobaban sus salvajes procedimientos? — El Libertador, Méjico. Fundadores de la medicina moderna La clencia médica moderna debe estar grandemente agradecida a los indios y mejicanos por los descubrimientos, del valor médico de ciertas hierbas, según J. M. Del Curto, patologista de la división de plantas, del departamento de agricultura de Tejas. Casualmente, Del Curto, es dueño de una de las más grandes coleciones de hierbas del estado de Tejas y una autoridad en la patología de las plantas. Pocas personas se dan cuenta, dice Del Curto, que los mejicanos, los mejicanos de hoy, raramente visitan a los médicos para ser curados del cualquier dolencia. El despreciable cactus, que crece silvestre por todas partes en Tejas y Méjico, es una de las plantas medicinales más útiles, según Del Curto; un té hecho de cactus se usa generalmente por los mejicanos para cualquier desorden estomacal, la planta sirve también como cataplasma, después que se les ha sacado las espinas. Para la cura de la malaria, los mejicanos sacan la corteza del órbol de la quina, de donde se extrae la quinina, la cual muelen hasta hacerla polvo y se la semen; rebanadas de cebolla fresca o ajos, atados al rededor de la cabeza, lo consideran una cura segura para los dolores en esa parte del cuepro. Para el reumatismo, los mejicanos ponen hojas de cedro en el baño, en el cual están durante varias horas, con magnificos resultados. Cuando los mejicanos son atacados de dolencias intestinales, hacen una especie de gelatina de la fruta, semillas y raices del tamariindo y la comen. Dice Del Curto, que es muy raro que un mejicano muera de la picada de una serpiente, aunque hay muchas especies, particularmente la de cascabel, que son fatales si no se acude con suficiente tiempo. Algunos mejicanos usan un mineral que indudablemente contiene sales de permanganato, y que poen en la picaudra, después que ha sido abierta con un cuchillo. Otros simplemente succionan el veneno con la boca y hacen una cataplasma con ciertas hierbas. Este patologista dice, que una de las especies de más importancia de su colección la "planta de helecho" esto se usa para la viruela, los mejicanos pintan la parte de la piel infectada, con el jugo de la planta, pues esta tiene sin duda grandes cualidades antisépticas. Muchas plantas de Méjico se usan comunmente para hacer bebidas alcoholicas, entre ellas es: la planta del maguey. La particularidad de esta planta es que los primeros pobladores que llegaron a Méjico, en el tiempo de Cortés, usaban las hojas de esta planta como material para escribir, después de ser blanquinda, todavía existen algunos de estos manuscritos yumo, propiedad de la universidad de Tejas, está valorado en cien mil dólares.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT 100 Fifth Street, New York City. HOW FASTING A WALL OF DESTINY? Is the Master of The Negro World? Would it be a talk to men and women of the Negro race, especially three of who did connect with the Unlimited Negro Improvement Association, who are up against a stone wall to life, and who want to cut their way out. It is a talk to men and women who have the courage to search their goals for their destiny, admit them and start at once to look the things that up to now have licked them. Take need of yourself—where are you? Once upon a time you dreamed of great things. You were going to do something worth while. You were going to be somebody. You entered upon your career with burning hope, everybody thought highly of you. You felt you were destined for great things. Then, what happened? Your powerful enthusiasm ceased away; your purpose for some reason became clouded. Instead of going forward you found yourself up against a stone wall. Other men, aiming for the same goal as you, came up alongside of you and moved. And now, here at last you are discouraged, lost, purposeless. When you think of the men and women when you have seen succeed you know you possess the same knowledge, more ability, more intelligence. You believe that, if given the chance, you could prove that you are a better man. Might here is the bitterest pill of confrontation, if you have the manhood to swallow it. You must admit that those successful men and women have willing to make real struggle for what they wanted, while you give up the fight too easily—or else did not know what weapon to use. Now, as we have the real weapon, let us embrace the opportunity. The U. N. I. A. of the great weapon upon which we can rely. The must take a new grip on yourself. You must plan your life. You must analyze the weakness in yourself. We must cause drifting apart, the thing which he held you back. Your eyes to the vision of Marvin Survey, and you shall see the real thing in yourself. I personally feel proud that I have taught the vision of the Universal League Improvement Association—from its inspiration, and have done all I can to help my brothers and sisters to move away from their awful wall. I only wish that I could have done more. Our six millions have already caught this vision, but some have fallen, owing to the weakness of their knees, and have found themselves sticking up against the wall of doubt. But I hope they will see the signs of the times, and turn their eyes to the U. N. L. A. and so solve the problem of how to deal away from this wall of security. MID. C. E. GODET. An Enthused New Member of the U. N. I. A. To the Master of the Negro World: As a new member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I feel that I want to write something in favor of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the greatest Negro factor of the Negro race, who has become the victim of a misfortune. It was about three months ago when I visited Liberty Hall in this city at a time when they were favored with a distinguished speaker, the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, a special representative from the parent body. Up to that time I was not very much interested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, due to reading unfavorable articles and coming in contact with people who opposed the Garvey movement. After hearing Mr. Bachelor outline some of the principles of Garveyism, I will now tell the world that, if there be any man in this world who can be honestly and sincerely credited with having created a new era in the history of the Negro, it is the Hon. Marcus Garvey. When I first understood the story of his aim and of the news spreading over all the world I thought I had never heard a story which touched me more—a story of courage under difficulties, of perseverance under the embarrassment of poverty, of the delay of expectations and the defeat of hopes and then of the determination to triumph over these obstacles. I felt then and, and I feel now, that the Hon. Marcus Garvey might well be placed among the small list of men who have not been delighted by any difficulties, who had their ideals to which they were true. Mr. Survey is entitled to be placed among these real heroes of modern development who have brought through their blood, their team, their self-fulfilment and courage, a great new message to the downstressed Negro race. I sincerely believe that there is hope for the grand cause of Negro freedom and African redemption through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I want to tell you that I feel exceedingly glad to be a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There are so many people who criticise the organisation because they hear others criticise it. I've never criticised it because I never really understood the movement until now. I am a Marylander by birth and the product of the schools of Baltimore, Wilmington, Del. and the Maryland State Normal. For five years I was employed by the Maryland State Department of Education as a teacher. (MRS.) MYRTLE L. NEWBY. Norfolk, Va. Heat Exhaustion Is Danger Signal To the Editor of The Negro World: During the hot weather people who find themselves becoming more exhausted than usual at such times should consult their family doctor or a nearby clinic. Inability to endure excessive heat and humidity without becoming fatigued to the point of exhaustion may be due to a hot weather routine of living which is not conducive to good health, or it may be a "danger signal" of some underlying physical defect which calls for a complete medical examination. If there is a definite reason for this extreme exhaustion the doctor will discover it and prescribe treatment which may avert unnecessary suffering by correcting the trouble before it has made sufficient headway to do lasting harm, or else the doctor will measure the patient and tell him more specifically how to safeguard his health by adapting his daily living habits to the extreme of humidity and heat. You're very sincerely, HARRY L. HOPKINS, Director, New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. CHINA SUSPICIOUS OF U. S. POLICY WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 18 (AP.)—What he believed to be either misunderstanding or disagreement between American diplomatic agents in China and the State Department on our policy was blamed for lack of more amicable relations between the two countries by Thomas F. Millard, former advisor to the Chinese Government. He addressed the Institute of Politics today. The course our diplomacy is taking, Millard declared, is making China suspicious of the sincerity of our policy. We either must adopt a more European attitude toward affairs in the Far East or else replace our present diplomats with men whose conception of the objectives of our Government in China are clearer, he added. Millard asserted American policy had just passed through a crisis so far as China is concerned and predicted an even more critical period for our prestige looming in the near future. He said: "The powers can not much longer evade the issue of whether they will use armed force to uphold the existing treaty status." Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck of Harvard discussing the Chinese tariff, denied that American government was responsible for the failure of the tariff conference in China in 1925. He said China should have tariff automation but should first perfect a stable government to administer its provisions. Tests Show That Twins Are Alike Mentally Just as they resemble each other physically, twins are alike mentally. This is the conclusion drawn from recent experiments at Columbia University, in which mental tests were given to 158 pairs of twins. According to Popular Science Monthly those of the same sex were found to differ less than boy-girl twins, and the ones that looked most alike had the closest mental ratings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Bombings and other radical demonstrations consequent on the Sacco-Vansetti case are going to have a serious effect on the immigration laws at the coming session of Congress. Secretary of Labor Davis, who was here today, is taking preliminary steps to boycott aliens who are in this country illegally from getting work in the United States and also to keep them out of the army. The process was originated by Henry Ford in his big industrial and mercantile establishments. He insists on every employee being able to show that he is legally entitled to residence in the United States. Secretary Davis said there was no way to ascertain how many aliens had crashed the gate into this country, but they number scores of thousands. Among them are many radicals who would be stopped even if the quota provision did not bar them. Secretary Davis tried to get adopted a system of registrations of aliens as a means of checking up, but Congress would not stand for it then. The argument was that there was no excuse for subjecting citizens or prospective citizens to the humiliation of being finger-printed and compelled to carry a card. The Secretary said today that there was no intention at present to establish such a system, but it undoubtedly will be presented by some member of Congress, and the enasperation at the bombings may engender a sentiment for even that drastic course. Meanwhile the plan to have large employers of labor co-operate with the department in making it hard for snugged aliens to get jobs, is expected to discourage the bootlegging of immigrants. A recrudescence of the deportations of "undesirable" is looked for. There was a shocking of this process by reason of the failure of the last Congress to get through the Dedicacy Bill which carried a $200,000 appropriation for the purpose. There have always been two factions in Congress on the Immigration Law—these who, under the leadership of Chairman Albert Johnson of the Immigration and Naturalization Committee of the House of Representatives, sought to tighten the restrictions, and the Progressive and Northern Democrats, who want the bars let down to some extent.

ACTION WANTED American women spent four times as much last year to rule the waves of their hair as Uncle Sam did on new ships to rule the waves of the sea, the National School of Cosmeticians was told today by Miss Harriet Chamberlin of New York. "While the women were spending $75,000,000 for permanent wavers," Miss Chamberlin said, "the government was spending only $16,523,119 for new ships. The total expenditure of the navy last year was only $17,000,000, compared with the $228,000,000 spent by women on their hair waves, trime and champons." Item of news which appeared in the New York papers on March 6 last: "The output of perfumes and toilet preparations in this country has multiplied six times in the last ten years, the American Chemical Society said yesterday. Crema, rouges, lip-sticks and such rank first in value, their annual production amounting to $31,172,000. Dentifrices are second with $36,490,000. Talcum and other toilet powders are third with $21,423,000; perfumery and toilet waters fourth with $30,544,000; hair toilets fifth with $34,490,000; hair dyes sixth with $161,600, and other cosmetics and toilet preparations, $1,087,000."

P.).—American visitors to London are learning to their sorrow that Cheapside is "cheap" only in name. Cheapside was the principal London street market when retail trade was carried on around old St. Paul's Cathedral. The names of many of the thoroughfares leading into the western end of Cheapside, as, for instance, Milk street, Broad street, Wood street and Honey lane, are reminiscent of this period. "Cheep" was the old English name for market. In the sixteenth century the form Cheapside appears, from which the present spelling originated.
