The Negro World

Aegro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negra A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Rac VO. XXIII. Ng. 16 If Peace Is To Reign The following able statement of the tenets of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is culled from a speech delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in Liberty Hall, New York, immediately after his release from the Tombs Prison on bail on September 13, 1923. The full text of the speech appears in the second volume of "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," or "Africa for the Africans": "The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to do for Africa similarly what the Pilgrims and, later, George Washington sought to do for America. We Negroes want a government of our own in Africa, so that we can be nationally, if not industrially and commercially, removed from competition in race, a condition that will make both races better friends, with malice toward none, but respect and appreciation for each. "Our greatest trouble, however, is with our own people. There are some in the race who are not in sympathy with an independent Negro nation. To them 'they have lost nothing in Africa.' They believe in the amalgamation of races for the production of new racial and national types; hence their doctrine of social equality and the creating of a new American race. Feeling as they do, divides us into two separate and distinct schools of thought, and, apparently, we are now at war with each other, and they have gained the first victory in having me (through their misrepresentation) indicted and convicted for the purpose of rendering me hors de combat. "We who believe in race purity are going to fight the issue out for the salvation of both races; and this can only be satisfactorily done when we have established for the Negro a nation of his own. We believe that the white race should protect itself against racial contamination, and the Negro should do the same. Nature intended us morally (and may I not say socially?) apart, otherwise there never would have been this difference. Our sins will not make the world better; hence, to us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the time has come to rebuild our ancient and proud race. "My personal suffering for the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is but a drop in the bucket of sacrifice. To correct the evils surrounding our racial existence is to undertake a task as pretentious and difficult as dividing the sea or uprooting the Rock of Gibraltar; but, with the grace of God, all things are possible, for in truth there is prophecy that 'Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand, and Princes shall come out of Egypt.' "We are expecting the co-operation and support of liberal White America in the promulgation of the ideal of race purity, and the founding of a nation for Negroes in Africa, so that those who, after proper industrial and other adjustments, desire to return to their original native homeland can do so in peace and security. "Now that the world is readjusting itself and political changes and distributions are being made of the earth's surface, there is absolutely no reason why certain parts of Africa should not be set aside absolutely for the Negro race as our claim and heritage. If this is not done, then we may as well look forward to eternal confusion among the races. "Negro men will never always feel satisfied with being ruled, governed and dictated to by other races. As in my case, I would never feel absolutely satisfied with being tried and judged by a white judge, district attorney and jury, for it is impossible for them to correctly interpret the real feelings of my race and appreciate my effort in their behalf; hence, the prejudice from which I suffer. A white man before a black district attorney, judge and jury would feel the same way, and thus we have the great problem that can only be solved by giving the Negro a government of his own. The Black Star Line was an effort in this direction and bore a relationship to the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the Shipping Board does to the Government. My effort was not correctly understood, and that is why some people have become prejudiced toward me. Yet in the final presentation of truth the fair-minded is bound to come to the conclusion that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is reasonable and proper for the solution of the vexed question of races." as A CHRISTMAS PRESENT All Leaders in the U.

Hines, Trustee of the Mission Board, and noted that the Board had been about during the past year for mission work, an area of more than $100,000 over the preceding year. In the attentive and interesting Seventh, the Bess Ralton K. Diffendore and John R. Lieward reported that there were now 35 members connected with the mission churches, who are increasing of about 500 over the year before. Almost half of the members are in India and Barma. Stanley High, author and journalist and a secretary of the board, who has just returned from Africa and Asia, in an address warned of an impanding inter-racial conflict between the white and non-white populations of the African continent. The growth of nationalism in Africa, he said, was more momentous than in China, India or the Philippines, but it was being overlooked by the white races. "The white man's booze, his gambling dens, comprise one sort of forces that are making the new Africa," he said. "The propagandists of the Soviets, using mob tactics and preaching hate and revolution, constitute a further influence." Earlier the New W Y Chen pastor of the Church of the Heavenly Rest in Newbury, China, in an address charged that Pastor Russell the philosopher was directly responsible for a good deal of anti missionary feeling in China because of the free-thinking doctrines he preached to Chinese students on a recent tour. Dr Chen said Mr Russell told the students that religion was outwork, simply a deception and a blindness to the advancement of Tolerance. This attitude was challenged by Dr Chen who said that Christianity had no permanent contributions to China, it not in buildings and money, at least in new thoughts and new ideals. It was announced that there were no Methodist Episcopal missions or missionaries in Hawkow or that part of the Yangtse Valley affected by the recent Nanking disaster in Hawkow. Shaw Offers Simple Plan For Prevention of Poverty LONDON, Nov 19 - Sparkling Shavantisms from the pen of George Bernard Shaw appear in the December Issues of "The London Magazine" Some of them are "Without religion life becomes a meningious concentration of accidents, and this evolution is the religion of the twentieth century" "For a man of the same sort of lotot when he is not in it" "I am not a godly that attire men to talk. My work is constitutive, early daily practice I write conveys a message. I am the messenger boy of the new age" When asked, how he would prohibit poverty, it B.R replied "In a variety of ways, if necessary, by putting to death every person earning less than 1,100 years or asking for more." Toes Are Transplanted Take Fingers' Place CHICAGO--The Herald and Examiner reported an operation in which the toes of a woman were transplanted to her hand to replace dismembered fingers. The woman Mrs Ida Jones of St Louis whose third and fourth digits on the right hand were severed in an automobile accident, watched the operation as it was performed by Dr Carl Tink at the North Chicago Hospital. Local angioplasty were applied while two toes of the woman's right foot were sewed to the second knuckle of her right hand. They were kept in contact by a plaster cast for ten days. The paper quoted Dr. Beck "It is only a matter of time when the new fingers will possess the sense of touch which the nerves send to the finger tip." 3 Babies in 40-Foot Well Rescued by Negro Boy, 13 LIBRARY.

Influential persons have called the attention of the community to the case as deserving of a medal and a pension. The babies, including a par of twins were playing on a platform covering a well. The boards gave way, hurling the children forty feet into water six feet deep. Bad leaped to an iron pump pipe in the well and shot downward so rapidly that his legs and arms were badly burned by friction. At the bottom of the well and extending at least or so above the water was a black ledge that seized the babies, one by one, and set them upon this ledge, threatening them with fire. Punishment unless they hung on. A basket was lowered on a rope and had placed the babies in this and they were drawn to safety.

King Fuad Would Extend Jurisdiction of Courts To Cover All Residents JONES N.Y. July 17th. The highest important duty of the Egypt relations with the powers together with substantial charges to the status of foreign affairs in the Nile Kingdom, and powers in official affairs here as foreseen by King Fuld's speech opening the Parliament at Calais. Egypt today. What is regarded as the most important portion of the speech is directed toward a mediation of all negotiations required so as to assist the jurisdiction of the Egyptian courts and the application of laws in all matters of Egypt. The king said that when agreement in principle to all reforms had been obtained from all the capillatory powers the Egyptian government would invoke an international conference to arbitrate the necessary agreements. The monarch's optimism though purposeful, vaguely framed references to the recent conversations here between Sir Austen Chamberlain the Foreign Secretary, and Premier Sarwat as sending toward an eventful treaty of alliance-recognition. Anglo-Egyptian relations are regarded here as justified by the progress of the negotiations so far. Some opposition from the foreign colonies in Egypt to the proposals regarding the civilisations is expected, but, in view of the recent marked improvement in the relations between Great Britain and Egypt, the British government may be expected to back up the Egyptians' position in this respect. STABS TO DEATH SCHOOLMATE HE COULD NOT BEAT White Boy Joins Fistic Battle with Negro Schoolmate, Then Wields Fatal Knife During Grudge Fight—Were Evenly Matched MONTCLAIR, N. J., Nov 18 - A 14-year-old boy stabbed to death a schoolmate of the same age here today with a knife manufactured in the manual training room from metal used for kicks of try balloons. The dead boy is Thomas Johnson, a Negro, of 49 New street, and his assistant is Joseph Glannett of 79 Elm street, now under arrest charged with murder. Last Monday, Johnson, an athlete in the "opportunity" class, had sought with Glannett, who is in the eighth grade. Few classmates knew of the light, and none, apparently, was aware of the cause of the bad feeling. Classes of the Glenfield School were dismissed at noon today, and as usual the pupils arrived through Glenfield Park, which贮藏 the school, on their way home for lunch. The path of Glannett and Johnson crossed, words were exchanged, and instantly the chant. Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! rang out. The two boys were of a size, both hunkily built. They stood toe to toe and hammered away as only grunted fighters can. Soon they were rolling over and over on the ground. Glannett squirmed loose, there was a flash of metal, and Johnson a stened muscles, relaxed. Glannett was too dazed to realize what had happened. Patrolman Richard Harman of the Essex County Park Police pushed through the crowd and sent for an ambulance Johnson died at the Mountainside Hospital at 10 o'clock, fifteen minutes after he arrived there. Dr William Brien, Deputy County Medical Examiner, said that the weapon had entered the heart. Herman, arrested Grumetti at his home and he was chased with murder and sent to the Parental Home in Newark to await a hearing. He told Chief of Police Edward F. Kelly that he made the knife "to protect himself." He had ground an edge and atttole point on the blade. Principal Gaye Hoe said Johnson had had a very good record and that Glampert was a bright pupil who had never given trouble. The death of the Johnson boy is the third in his family in a few months. In September a brother was killed by an automobile, last month a younger brother died of illness. His mother is a widow and has two sons living. Schoolmates sent a wreath and are planning to attend the funeral, which will probably be Monday. MOOR'BRIGANDS FREE SIX HELD FOR RANSOM RABAT Morocco, Nov. 11. The Steeg kidnapping adventure which thrilled all of Europe, came to an end today when two men and two women, who were captured by pathe the tithe men on October 20 and carried into the Moroccan interior were released. The party is understood to be on its way to Kabba, a French outpost at the foot of the lower Atlas Mountains. Meanwhile, it was learned that the Armed aliens' who were captured a month ago by another tribe also have been released. The others freed are Yves Steeg nephew of the French Resident General at Morocco Jean Mullot, Mime Dickoole and the Burmese Stuart. The tribesmen demanded 6000 francs a man in a city of trump and to the 14-YEAR-OLD BOY MADE SULTAN OF FIERY MOROCCO France, to Increase Influence Over Moroccan Protectorate Arranges Choice of Boy to Ascend Throne of Late Sultan Yussef PARIS, Nov. 18. Monlay Yussif late Sultan of Morocco, was buried today at Kez with the rest of the Mussulman religion, and with all the honors of the Christian French Republic. His third son Monlay Mughan med, we will admire his successor this afternoon. The late Sultan is 80 years old and was recently rebuilt. It is bride was his cousin a daughter of the former Sultan brother, Monlay Othman, and is the first of the four legitimate wives to which the Sultan of Morocco is entitled. The lad was selected by the College of Ulmus in an almost all-day session today in preference to his two older brothers, Monlay Hassan. It is understood that both personal and political motives played a part in this selection, since the presence of a monarch on the Moroccan throne will doubtless tend to increase the power of the French over their protected state through the influence of the French Resident General was always powerful over the late Sultan. Today's ceremonies, in accordance with Moslim destiny, were extremely simple, but French troops in great numbers defiled before the cataclysm upon which the dead monarch lay exposed in the courtyard of the great palace. Theodore Shog French Resident General, accompanied by the highest military and civil dignitaries, made all haste to Fez from the capital, tobat when the death of the Sultan was learned. They were respectful witnesses of all the days proceedings with the exception of the Mosque rites for the dead, which were performed in the Great Mosque. Non Moshes are not admitted to mosques in Morocco. M Steege and other officials waited for a long time outside the mosque for closure during these services. Then the procession, with the prescribed chants, proceeded to the cemetery, where the Sultan was entombed beside his predecessors. Troops under the command of the General de Chimbrun there rejoined nightly honors. The entire population of Fez and nobles from the furthest loyal districts attended the ceremonies. In which the three sons and the two brothers of the former Sultan were prominent figures. While these services were going on the College of Uleinas had been deliberating in secret. Its choice was not announced until after the burial rites had been complied. The accession of the new Sultan, whose complete name is Moulay Mohammed Hammada, will be the signal for sweeping changes in the Sultan's administration. Practically all offices of importance, with the exception of that of El Mokht, incumbent Grand Vizier will be subject to new appointment. The reorganization of this personal will afford the French an opportunity for judicious direction. The young Sultan is known in Morocco for 'ing, am and other things, the first Prince of the Dynasty ever to ride in an automobile in Fez. The event, which occurred when he was four years old, inspired the Grand Vizier to write a poem which is known throughout Morocco. The Sultan, according to tradition, will live in rather close retirement within the palace. A nunchuk guards each door of the Sultan's quarters on the second floor. There he has a great room with a veranda overlooking the gardens. The installation of the new Sultan has been somewhat disturbed by reports current in Morocco that as a result of the recent kidnappings of six Europeans and their ransom recently, reprisals are being prepared against the rebel tribesmen by a French. The Irench Foreign Office issued a flat denial of the report that General Weygand, former aldea of Marshal Foch, will be named I solident General of Morocco replacing M. Steeg who would go to Algiers as Governor during the military action which it said to be contemplated. Mr. Abramovitz Goes Back to School Unless set right by later returns we must accept Lena Abramovitz as the oldest pupil in New York's elementary evening schools. But he is only seventy-seven. The older Cato began learning Greek at eight, in an age when lives aseraged much shorter than they do today. There must be many such examples. Born in Russia to Mr Abramovitz remained different not for lack of native ability but for lack of opportunity immigrating here he had to work hard to support at his childhood length a wife and five children.

GOVERNOR OF ALGERIA French Cabinet Names Prefect Bordes to Succeed Violette PALACE, No. 19 - Pierro Borday the Prefect of Albes was appointed governor general of Algeria to succeed former Governor General Maurice Violette at today's meeting of the Brunei Colonel at the Elsies Palace. This definitely ends the rumors regarding the appointment of General Maxime Weygand as governor general of Morocco and the transfer of Governor General Julie Steg to Algeria to facilitate theiliation of a campaign by the French to subdue the unattended tribes of the Atlas Mountains. M Bordes has spent much time in official positions in North Africa. He was appointed prefect at Constantine in 1917, general secretary of the Algerian government in 1819 and prefect at Algiers in 1926. It is said that he not only enjoys the college of the French government, but also that of the native population, which will probably make his position doubly strong. 'TIGER' FLOWERS, FAMED FIGHTER, DIES SUDDENLY --- Collapses After Minor Operation for Cataract Over Left Eye In Private Sanatorium—Cause of Death Shrouded in Mystery (From the New York Herald-Tribune, November 17) Tiger Flowers, former middleweight boxing champion of the world, died suddenly last night at Dr W. G. Frank's sanatorium, at 42 West 70th street. Fighters had just undergone a minor operation for a cataract over his left eye. Advices from the sanatorium indicated that he died at about 8 o'clock. The Negro prizefighter was operated on during the afternoon and came out of the ether in good shape. He was creating comfortably when two hours after the operation, he collapsed suddenly and died shortly afterward. Details of the cause of the collapse were withheld at the hospital and death was announced here at the office of Walk Miller Flowers' manager. Flowers won the middleweight title in a fifteen-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden February 26, 1926, from Henry Grob, who died under similar circumstances in October, 1926. He lost the championship on a questionable decision to Mickey Walker in Chicago, December 3, 1926. Boxing followers were surprised to hear of the death of the mauling, quenching Negro, as there had been no indication of the trouble which resulted in his death. Only last Saturday night 'flowers had spared a four-round knockout victory over Lee Gates in this city, and he was preparing for a long-delayed return bout with Walker. Boxer Was Church Deacon Theodora ("Tiger") ("Deacon") Flowers was one of the quaintest characters the ring has ever known. He was a man of simple faith, with a firm belief in Christianity, and these characteristics earned for him the appreciation of Deacon Nor was it merely a ring nickname, for Flowers was the steward of the Butler C M E Church back in Brunswick, Ga., his native town. His ring connections caused much disapproval among the congregation in Brunswick. But Flowers quoted from the Scriptures to prove a man can be a worthy Christian and a professional fighter as well. He called attention to the first paragraph of the 11th Psalm, which always has been his prayer in the ring and which reads: "Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my eyes to fight." This mixture of religion and boxing made the Tiger a colorful figure of the ring Won Title from Grab Flowers was born in Comble, a little town in Georgia, on August 5, 1895. His father was a porter on the General station of Georgia, and from his father and mother I flowers acquired his faith and love of religion. It was not until 1917 that the Tiger had his first experience as a boxer and less than ten years later he won the world's middle eight championship by defeating Harry Grob in a fifteen-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden. February 26, 1926. He lost the championship to Mickey Walker in Chicago on December 3, 1926. On a celebration which to this day has been called one of the most questionable on which a title changed hands. Older Turkish Women Now Bob Their Hair CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov 19—Since shingling and hobbling are now popular with Turkish flappers their big fathers and mothers, who once knew the restrictions of the veil and social exclusion, are following suit.

There was a time when the scientific world seriously engaged itself with the consideration as to whether the African was not the missing link between man and beast. That stage seems past forever, and it is a curious phenomenon that at the present day some European thinkers are beginning to recognize that the aptitude of the African in the field of culture and intellectuality is of a higher order than that of the average Get this FREE Book from your dealer or write us direct.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING Be sure you get the original - Nelson's Packed in a metal box, on a roll-fold container Denial of recent assertions, that foreign-born elements of the population have a higher rate of criminal commitments than native born is contained in a letter from United States Representative Emmanuel Celler to Richard Washburn Child, acting chairman of the Conference on Prevention of Crime. The letter was made public yesterday by the National Council for Protection of Foreign-Born Workers. "When the two groups are compared for identical urban districts," it reads, "the foreign born generally have lower rates than the native born, for felonies as well as misdemeanors. Adult native-born whites in Chicago in 1920 had 1.09 times as many arrests for felonies and 2.2 times as many arrests for misdemeanors as the adult foreign-born whites." The letter attacked Representative Albert Johnson, chairman of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, saying, "I know no man in public life today who has been less sympathetic to the aliens than Mr Johnson. "No one has laid heavier-restrictions upon the non-native than he. His suggestions, therefore, must be taken with many grains of salt in the light of his prejudice." The "suggestions" attributed to Mr Johnson included compulsory registration of aliens. Drops in Diamond Prices Blamed Chiefly on Wars LONDON, Nov. 19 — Throughout history wars have been the principal cause of temporary depreciation in the prices of diamonds, according to a report prepared for the National Jewelers' Association of Great Britain by Sidney H Fall. New York goodwill. The report says that the first attentive record of prices on any particular diamond was £3 a carat, paid for a brilliant in 1750. The price of a similar stone in 1901, it says, was £45 in 1914, £60, and today, £90. The total annual sale of rough diamonds at the beginning of the nineteenth century did not exceed £500,000. By 1860 it was £1,250,000, and today it is £17,000,000. Sixty years ago the Portuguese Court sold 60,000 carats for £110,000 and upset the market. Now that is the production of three days. Mr. William J. Clissold in the London "Star" has recently drawn attention to this phase of the matter. He points out that Africa's strength is not her gold or diamonds or ivory, but her people, and adds: "We are extraordinarily slow to realize the simple fact." He proceeds to show that gradually the worth of the African is dawning on the minds of many white people, and that those who know best are making the discovery first. In dealing with the adaptability and capacity of the African he points out that the wisest magistrates, teachers and missionaries unite in praising the African's adaptability and capacity, which, given the chance, can turn an African, even in one generation, from a savage to a civilized man. Now what follows is in his own words: "Probably such a phenomenon has never been seen before. I have talked to an African Chief who might, but for his color, have been a member of Parliament or a diplomat. Yet his childhood was spent in herding cattle on the velvet. Imagine a Dorsetshire peasant being transformed similarly." Today Negro America is furnishing not only students eager for knowledge, but teachers of students. They are said to be taking charge of their own greatest institutions, and that they are even entering the teaching ranks of white institutions. This is truly an astonishing result in a little over fifty years of Negro emancipation. And the results are the same who ever you turn, either to the West Indies or to West Africa. A West African of the Gold Coast, Mr. J. B. Danguard, has just taken the Ph.D. degree of the London University, about the highest test in the world. With these facts before us it is extremely difficult to appreciate the views of those Europeans who been resolved to contine the African to a water-tight compartment as far as his training goes. We are glad to see that this matter is fully taken up in a recent issue of the "African, World" under, "West African Echoes" by that versatile writer "W F H". He opens by drawing attention to the fact that there is much talk just now in connection with the question of African education about "Africanism" and the necessity of preventing Africans from being (Continued on page 5) 4 U.N.I.A.Victims of Chattanooga Outrage Appeal For Aid To Battle For Justice TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IN ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD: We, IRA JOHNSON, HENRY BAILEY, LEWIS MOORE and JAMES JACKSON, are now confined in iron cells in Hamilton County. Chattanooga, Tennessee, jail, awaiting trial under exorbitant bonds which we are unable to make, and we are appealing to our friends and to the lovers of liberty for assistance. The cause of our imprisonment is as follows: We attended a meeting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at which there were about ten or fifteen men and about forty or fifty women and children present. Police officers forced their way into the hall where the meeting was being held without warrant of law and without any claim that they crime was being committed at the time, and after entering the hall over the protest of the doorkeeper of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, said doorkeeper, having objected to the officers coming into the hall without stating their business, or what they wanted, a Chattanooga police officer drew a pistol and fired two shots at the doorkeeper and in the direction of women and children sitting in this hall. EXPANSION FUND DRIVE STEPPING ON THEIR CORNS As if they had taken offense at our reference to the fact that the rural areas had outdone the urban in their respective responses to this appeal; several of the larger cities sent in reports (see acknowledgments on this page) showing that they were by no means asleep. This is very heartening, and it is to be hoped that other cities that have not so far made a showing, will "gird up their loins and enter the fray." The individual dollar may not count for much, but if each individual sufficiently interested will deny him or herself to that extent the results can be made not only gratifying, but amazing. We are not ashamed to confess to our readers that we feel they are being deprived of two pages of reading matter which they ought to have and which we-cannot give them because of the stern necessity of husbanding our resources so as to assure our continued existence. We believe in the old saying that "the sick can get well, but the dead may be resurrected." Well, we mean to stay alive so as to stage what the athletes call a "comeback"! You who are reading this can do your little to assure the success of our efforts. There is an old western saying that to succeed a man needs the three GIs—Grace, Grit and Greenbacks. Now, the good God has given us the grace and we have the grit, so we leave it to you to read between the lines. Now, while you are thinking about it, cut out the below coupon and send it in with your donation. MARGUS GARVEY, Managing Editor. E: E. MAIR, Business Manager. This produced a panic and reinforcements were called for by the police and practically every colored man that was seen leaving the hall was shot at by these officers. One man in the hall had a rifle and he shot two or three times, as we are advised, at the policeman who was shooting at him. We did not do any shooting ourselves and were innocent spectators at the meeting and two, of us were shot during the trouble. Previous Threats Prior to this trouble threats had been made against the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the members were told that the Ku Klux Klan was going to blow up the hall where they had the meeting. This incident was written up in the paper with flaming wheadlines as a Negro riot, and the organization was represented as being guilty of anti-American sentiment. It was circulated that we were worse than the Holshevists of Rugsa; in fact, we were pictured as having assembled for the purpose of scattering sedidious literature and making seditious speeches, and great bitterness has thus been an angered against us. Our bonds would require approximately $40,000, and we have not got one cent in the world. We are laboring men and were listening to the statement of our leader as to the purpose and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and attended the meetings in a lawful way, and at the time of the raid made by the police we were singing religious songs in the hall, with no thought of creating a disturbance or a riot. Two of us were hurt and one policeman was hurt, and the newspapers at Chattanooga are hostile towards us.

Glare of Publicity Brings Quick Help To Slavery in British Protest LONDON, Nov. 4—It is an old and trite saying that one-half of the world does not know how the other half slaves. But its truth has just been proved snow. Most Americans, and most Britishers-for that matter, probably would say that with abolition of slavery in the United States the ownership of one human being by another ceased to exist in any country in the world where white men ruled. But they are wrong. Slavery has in the protectorate which came under the thirty-two years ago does not exercise seven British authorities the paramount native child as equals, and many latter are established. Then, top, existence Liberia complicates the abolition of that fist protectorate. It is astil We ask that all contributions be sent to HONORABLE WILLIAM WARE, 330 GEORGE STREET, CINCINNATI, OHIO. We need $10,000 to prepare and take care of this case, and to appeal the same in the event of conviction. Under the law of Tennessee, the defendant is required to get his own proof and to pay the expenses of his witnesses to and from the court if they live outside of the state, and he is to hear the expense of taking the depositions of his own witnesses, and we have no funds with which to meet these expenses. Save Four Innocent Men Four Race men are suffering in a Tennessee jail and are appealing to the philanthropy of friends of all races to help them in this case, because, they are not guilty of crime and are without friends and money to make the necessary defense where every citizen is entitled to have made for him when his liberty is involved. Language is inadequate to convey our feelings to the outside world in this letter. The half has not been told, but our trial will soon be called, and without help from outside friends our doom is certain. Four innocent men will probably be consigned to the Tennessee coal mines for long terms upon charges made against them when they are innocent and merely victims of circumstances. Says There Are Judges Who Break the Dry Law URBANA, Ill., No. 14 (A.P.)—Judges who violate the prohibition law, and public men who "love their bellies more than their country" were held indirectly responsible for crimes of present day south by former Judge Andrew A. Bruce, professor of law at Northwestern University, in a convocation speech before students of the University of Illinois last night. "Young men and women commit crime because they have lost their faith and their reverence," he declared. "They have lost respect for the government, themselves and their parents." The Eighteenth Amendment never will be abolished, Judge Bruce said, "so there is only one judge to do—obey the law." Glare of Publicity Brings Quick End To Slavery in British Protectorate LONDON, NOV. 7—It is an old and trite saying that one-half of the world does not know how the other half slaves. But its truth has just been proved anew. Most Americans, and most Britishers-for that matter, probably would say that with abolition of slavery in the United States the ownership of one human being by another ceased to exist in any country in the world where white men ruled. But they are wrong. Slavery has just been abolished, to take effect on January 1, in the British protectorate of Sierra Leone. The protectorate, however, must not be confused with the British colony of the same name; where slavery was abolished a long time ago. This action followed with dramatic suddenness upon the disclosure to the public, which was nearly 100 percent ignorant regarding the matter, that slavery existed there. It was the result of a court case in Sierra Leone which, from the standpoint of its effect upon the institution of slavery, deserves to rank with "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Blavos Sue Mastero Two slave owners in the protectorate recently recaptured some runaway slaves. The slaves sued their masters for personal assault, force having been used in the capture. The slaves won in the first trial. The slave owners appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the Colony of Sierra Leone. By a vote in two to one the judges ruled that, slavery still legal in the protectorate, the masters had the right to use a force in the capture of runaways. News of that decision was a blow to the public conscience of this country, which had supposed that no such thing as slavery existed anywhere under the British flag, at least not with the authority of British law and the backing of British officials. It was followed by publication on the editorial page of the Times of a letter from Sir John Simon, Member of Parliament, former Liberal Cabinet officer, one of the leaders of the Liberal Party and one of the outstanding leaders of the English bar, protesting against continuation of slavery in the protectorate. Commenting on the court's decision, he wrote: "Judges do not make the law, but only do their best, often in most difficult circumstances, impartially to interpret and apply it. But the law in question is what British legislatures and British administrations choose to make it and if this decision represents the present law in the Sierra Leone protectorate, is it tolerable that it should remain so? Departed British Support "It would be inestable indeed if the chiefs of West Africa were led to believe that they have behind them the support of the highest British authorities for maintaining a system of slave owning." The judge who dissented from the majority opinion declared, "Slavery is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience, and the court should not support the institution in any shape or form, whether the legislature expressly forbids it or not." This letter of Sir John's immediately was supported by dozens of other letters and editors in the British press, and a few weeks later the Legislative Council of Sierra Leone passed a bill abolishing slavery in the protectorate. It was a picturesque occasion. The Council met in a long low room of Government House in Freetown. Oppose the Governor, Sir A. R. Slater, and the other British officials, who were dressed in, white, sat the colored members of the Council, including three native paramount chiefs, in long robes of blue and green, colored fezes and bright slippers. Thore were present also representatives of the colony's natives, wearing tall coats, high collars, white vests, massive gold chains and tan shoes. Government is Surprised The Attorney General, A. C. V. Prior, in moving the second reading of the bill, explained that the Government was as much surprised as any one at the court's decision, that it had been supposed slavery was abolished under the ordinance of 1928 and that, in view of the recent judgment, the time for piecemeal reform had passed. There was some native opposition to the bill on the ground that slave owners should be compensated for their loss, but in the end the chiefs bowed to the inviable and the bill was passed. It is estimated that 215,000 slaves in the protectorate will become free on January 1. In 1916 the number was 219,255. Virtually all of them are owned by natives, as the law already forbade white British subjects, subject to British law, to possess slaves. The number of slaves was, in addition, gradually decreasing under a law passed a couple of years ago providing, first, that slaves became free on the death of their owner; second, that all children born after January 1, 1927, were born free and might not be enslaved, and, third, that any slave might purchase his or her freedom for the sum of £4. Two Problems Involved The great difficulty with which the British authorities have had to contend in carrying out their desire to abolish slavery has been, first, to obtain the willing consent of the native chiefs, and, second, to overcome the problem created by the maintenance of slavery in adjacent territory.

Name Address City State My Dear's Name is In the protectorate of Sierra Leone, which came under the British rule only thirty-two years ago, Great Britain does not exercise sovereign rights. The British authorities there deal with the paramount native chiefs more or less as equals, and many laws affecting the latter are established through treaties. Then, too, existence of slavery in Liberia complicates the enforcement of the abolition of that institution in the protectorate. It is estimated that there are more slaves there than in Sierra Leone, and slave trading from Liberia into the protectorate is continuing on a large scale. There are many exports, in fact, who fear that as long as widespread slavery exists in the hinterland of Liberia it will be almost impossible to abolish slave owning in Sierra Leone. Students Suspended for Armistice Day Protests As a result of protests against compulsory military training which they expressed at an Armistate Day meeting at the College of the City, of New York, Alexander Lifschitz and Leo Rothenberg: students, were indefinitely suspended on Monday, November 14, by President Frederick B Robinson. President Robinson charged the two students with "disrespect" toward the faculty because of their criticism of that body for failing to live up to an agreement to provide suitable civilian training for those who objected to military drill. Dr. Robinson announced that dolinite action in the case of the two suspended students would be taken by the Board of Trustees of the college at meeting to be held the latter part of the week Cotton Estimate 12,842,000 Bales WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 — An increase of 161,000 bales in this year's cotton crop during the last month was forecast today by the Department of Agriculture, which announced total production, as indicated November 1, to be 12,842,000 equivalent 500-pound bales. The indicated crop is 5,135,000 bales less than last year's record crop. Generally warm, dry weather in October, the Crop Reporting Board said, permitted rapid gathering of the crop, with less than usual loss to yield and quality, and bolls damaged by the weevil matured with less loss from not than is usually experienced. Prospects Improved in Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma, but increases in those States were partially offset by a substantial decrease in the forecast for Texas, where production of 4,300,000 bales was indicated, as compared with 4,420,000 bales a month ago. A month ago crop of 12,673,000 bales was indicated, with a yield of 148.9 pounds per acre. Last year's crop totaled 17,377,374 bales, with a yield of 182.6 pounds an acre. Upon the 40,626,000 acres for the harvest this year, an preliminary estimated, the indicated production would approximate a yield of 151.2 pounds of lint cotton per acre. Cotton of this year's crop ginned prior to November 1 totaled 9,025,795 running bales, counting 343,689 round bales as half bales and excluding linters, compared with 11,253,873 bales, including 268,327 round bales, to that date last year, and 11,207,197 bales by 184,708 round bales, to November 1 in 1925. the Census Bureau announced today.

SLAVERY IN LIBERIA RECENTLY we directed attention to the fact that slavery still exists in Abyssinia, and the British Protectorate of Sierra Leone, which is distinct from the British colony of that name. The Protectorate, it is announced, has just abolished slavery, but, it is reported, it will be difficult to enforce the abolition liease of the existence of slavery in the Republic of Liberia, in which it is said there are probably more slaves than in the Protectorate, and which through the hinterland chiefs maintain the slave traffic with Liberia. A London cablegram to the New York World says that "there are many experts, in fact, who fear that as long as widespread slavery exists in the hinterland of Liberia, it will be almost impossible to abolish slave owning in Sierra Leone." The Government of Liberia should be called upon to explain this extraordinary and scandalous condition of affairs. THE COSTLY FLORENCE MILLS COFFIN WE think people should be left free to spend their money' as it pleases them, and as long as they violate no law in do- ing so we are not disposed to criticize them. We believe as a matter of opinion that the Negro people spend too much money on minerals, money which they need and could use to better advantage; but it is their business. We were all interested in the statement that it is coffin in which Miss Florence Mills was buried was made of copper and cost $10,000. The daily newspaper said at the time that the floral offerings at the funeral, sent from all parts of the world, must have cost some $100,000. They also said that it was estimated that Miss Mills left an estate estimated at $250,000. All this sounds grand enough to captivate and hold the imagination. And the young theatrical star deserved all of this lavishment, with the $250,000 estimate for those she loved and left to mourn their loss. And then comes the statement that the estate of Miss Mills is valued at only $33,146.88; no more, one daily newspaper declared, than the star earned in a given year. The home is in the name of the husband and not included in the estimated estate valuation. It is quite wonderful how stars of all races who make fabulous money spend it as fast as they make it and die poor or live on the charity of their friends. We saw George Godfrey, who made all sorts of money as a star fuglist, when he was last in New York, poor and nearly blind and the object of a benefit, and when we were once in Lexington, Ky., we were told that Isaac Murphy, one of the greatest jockeys of his time, died poor in a garret, although he had for years earned from $12,000 to $20,000 per annum. You can't eat your cake and have it. IKNATON, THE EGYPTIAN, PROCLAIMED ONE GOD WORSHIP TWO things mankind, it appears, has always demanded and possessed, as a mental aspiration after freedom from the slavery of the physical man. It has insisted upon having something to love and worship and something to hate and exerate. We find this stubborn and ugly fact in the history of all peoples, in the most primitive as well as in the most advanced. It is a phase of human character which has never been sufficiently explained. It is remarkable, also, as a matter of history, among all peoples, that they gradually developed along family, race or national lines, a system of worship which lent itself most readily to their hopes and fears, and that they have gradually evolved a priesthood built upon their hopes and fears. It is equally true that all priesthoods, whether so designed or not, have tended irresistibly to degrade rather than to elevate the worshippers. The priests, beginning as the servants of the believers, have always gradually gathered all power and wealth unto themselves which their people would stand for without revolting, and finally become the masters instead of the servants. But the Christian peoples, who began by creating a priesthood which they gradually, for the most part, supplanted with a responsible ministry subject to election and tenure by the will of their membership, are also idolators, having adopted the wrong thing as the object of their worship. The God of Israel is nothing more nor less than the sun, god of Egypt. Israel spells that: "I am Ra, the Sun God." That is to say, in adopting the Semitic worship of the Jews, who adopted the worship of the Egyptians, the Christian automatically adopted the Sun God of Egypt as the object of their adoration. The fact is that the sun did not create itself, any more than did the moon and the stars, and the fact is stated and believed that the three were made in the beginning, not to worship, but to give light on the earth. It is said of Jesus, "out of Egypt have I called my son." But Semiticism and Jewish dogma are predicated upon the sun worship of Egypt, which may be enlarged so as to comprehend worship of "the sun, moon and stars also," the three in one, instead of worship of the creator of them. In his very informing "Story of Civilization" running in the New York Telegram, Prof. Will Durant recently had a chapter on "Hymns to the Sun," in which he gives the story of King Amethotep, IV, called King Iknaton, "the host of the prophets," by historians, but who was executed by his own people as "the criminal of Abketon," because he destroyed their ancestral worship and put them which on ascending the throne in four to be regent to "primitive polytheism and sacred ritual vexality." He wrote priesthood had grown rich and dictatorial, as priestshoods are prone to do, and the young King, a dreamer of dreams, drove them out of tutelogy and the temples, and decreed the worship of "the one God at the Sun." But Iknaton was a poet and not a philosopher. His people, some two years after he was dead, in the reign of his son, law, restored the worship, and the priesthood of Amon, and went on their way to destruction. Prof. Durant says of Iknaton: "His are the most precious things in all Egyptian literature—precious not merely for their form and feeling, but as the first expression of monotheism in the history of man." My W (By S. WALTE) Mayhap it stretches Mayhap it winds from Mayhap through wo- rned It is never ending for Through worlds that whe of fortilless mistle I go beyond my wi But shall not pass th Dr. Rufus L. Perry, in the preface of his invaluable book "The Cushing," quotes the great historian Rawlinson as follows: "For the last three thousand years the world has been mainly indebted for its advancement to the Semitic and Ando-European races." But it was otherwise in the first ages. Egypt and Babylon, Mizraam and Numrod, both descendants of Ham, led the way and acted as the pioneers of mankind in the various untrodden fields of art, literature and science, alphabetic writing, astronomy, history, chronology, architecture, plastic, art, sculpture, navigation, agriculture, textile industry, all seem to have had their origin in one or other of these two countries. Civilization owes the black race a great deal more than it is willing to give credit for, but the truth is gradually seeping through and we shall ultimately have the whole truth, especially as the race has begun to produce scholars who are beginning to write their own history from the earliest to the present time. PROHIBITION AND SUFFRAGE ENFORCEMENT The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are just as much interested in the question of the enforcement of the liquor amendment to the Constitution as any other group of the American citizenship. They mostly believe in the proper control and regulation of the liquor question as a matter of morality and good government, and they regard the failure of the Federal Government to enforce the Volstead act, because the States and municipalities have neglected to cooperate with the Government, and the consequent development of a widespread and lawless manufacture and sale of death dealing liquors, breeding more lawlessness than ever before existed in the history of the country, as a matter of the gravest concern. The wisdom of the adoption of the eighteenth amendment, and the inability of the Government to enforce the enabling act has led to the gravest condition of affairs possible, as lawlessness in the manufacture and sale of liquors has bred lawlessness in a thousand other directions, so that protection of life and property has become a real problem which taxes the police powers of the States to the utmost. The politicians of both of the leading parties have striven hard to prevent Prohibition enforcement from becoming a party issue, because there is such wide differences of opinion among the members as to threaten the breakdown of old party alignments, and they have met with some success. But living issues have a way of over-riding the wishes of politicians and becoming issues anyhow, because the great mass of the people demands that the question involved be settled one way or the other. Senator W. F. Borah of Idaho, who has a way of forcing unpopular issues upon the attention of the Republican party, of which he is stormy petrel sort of member, has raised a great big rumpus by insisting that the National Republican convention include in its platform direct endorsement of the Prohibition laws and a demahd for their enforcement. He has provoked a discussion of the question by partisans of all shades of opinion, and side issues have been raised which are as vexatious as the main question. The demand has been made that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which guarantee the suffrage privileges and immunities of Negro citizens, which the Southern Democrats have made of no force and effect, shall be enforced if the Prohibition amendment is to be enforced; and the demand is made because the Southern Democrats would have it appear that Prohibition enforcement is largely in their keeping. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia says there is no similarity between the demand for liquor enforcement legislation and suffrage enforcement, because there is no legislation in favor of suffrage enforcement, while there is such legislation in favor of liquor enforcement. And Senator Glass in this way directs attention to the glaring and scandalous fact that Congress for quite fifty years has failed to pass the enabling legislation necessary to make suffrage privileges and immunities effective, although it has such power and has been appealed to insistently for fifty years to do so. Senator Glass has, however, completely spiked the guns of those Republicans who have threatened to go after denial of the right to vote and be voted for in the Southern States as a checkmate to the Democratic clamor for Prohibition Enforcement. Nobody expects that Republican leaders will meet; the challenge by having Congress enact the necessary enabling legislation to protect the Negro in the South in his right to vote and be voted for. There is every indication that Prohibition enforcement will be made one of the leading issues of the next Presidential election, and that the conventions of both the leading parties will have to make some sort of declaration on the question in their platforms. If the question should be forced to the front it may serve as a forerunner of a movement to correct by appropriate Congressional enactment the scandalous disfranchisement of the Negro voters of the Southern States, to which the Federal Supreme Court has lent the weight of its approval, based on the right of the States to regulate such matters in the absence of Congressional enactment. The people should have a chance to vote up or down the Prohibition legislation. Last Check Lincoln Drew Is Purchased A check for $800, believed to be the last ever drawn by Abraham Lincoln, has been obtained from its owner by Thomas F. Madigan, dealer in autographs, 48 West Forty-ninth street. It was made out by the President to himself and cashed on the day before he was assassinated. Although the check is canceled, its value paw is said to be several hundred dollars more than the amount for which it was drawn. Mr. Madigan considers the check the only existing item written by Lincoln on April 13, 1866, the day before the assassination. The check was drawn on the First National Bank of Washington. In Lincoln's handwriting in the number of the check, the date, "Self," which is written in after the printed words "How to," the sum for which the check is written, both in numerals and spelled out, and the signature For what specific purpose the President drew the check is not known. The present owner believes the funds were intended for his current expense and pocket money. Mr. Madigan saw few checks drawn by Lincoln are in existence, as it was his habit to deposit unpaired ones after the bad habit was trained to hold a bank Here Are New Matrimony Rules The three essentials to a happy marriage were outlined by the Rev. Russell M. Brougher, pastor of the Baptist Temple, Third avenue and Schermorhn street, Brooklyn, in his sermon recently, "Stop Flirting and Get Married." Natural congeniality, confidence based on character and gentleness are, in his opinion, the three essentials to happy married life (liting the case of Jacob, who served seven years for Rachel before he won her hand, Mr. Brougher stated that "one of the greatest causes for divorce in the land today is that many people who marry either early in life or late do not know each other a disposition, character and general character ladies."

HEALTH TOPICS B9 Dr. M ALICE ABSERSON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Find Your Hobby "Find your hobby—then ride it" is the advice of a well-known physician. He is said to have made a hobby of hobbies. He prescribes them for many kinds of manual and nervous troubles, and advises his patients to acquire hobbies to help them keep well. Hobbies are valuable aids to health. We should all take the advice of the above-mentioned doctor and find ours and then ride it. Everyone needs recreation and rest from work and his regular activities. It is a great help to have a form of constructive recreation to which we may devote some time. There are any number of hobbies from which to choose. Some are painting, swimming, skating, fancy-work, walking, tennis, golf, football and other sports, writing, toy-making, boat building, basket waving, photography, books, collecting ferns or other plants, and music. It is a good thing to select one which is quite different from your regular occupation. That is the housewife who sees a great deal, and who uses her hands all day long will not want a hobby such as basket-waving or fancy work. The hookeeper/clerk or industrial worker who must use his eyes for very close work or who must remain indoors all day long, will not want a hobby which involves fine, indoor work. He should choose some outdoor sport, or something which will get him out in the open. Whatever your age, or your occupation, you need a hobby to help you keep well in mind and body and to have a healthy outlook on Life. Get one now, and ride it this winter and in the years to come. Nearly 4,000,000 Pupils Save $24,000,000 in Year Nearly four million pupils in the schools of the United States are participating in school savings banking, and deposited almost $34,000,000 during the year ended June 30, according to a statement issued here by W. Espoy Albig, deputy manager of the American Bankers' Association. Mr. Albig's report says. "Seven years ago the Savings Bank Division of the American Bankers' Association reported 2,736 schools having school savings. As of June 30, 1927, the number is 12,678. The number of pupils enrolled in schools having a school savings system has in that time increased from 1,015,653 to 4,658,166. The number of pupils participating in school savings has increased from 462,651 to 3,815,785. "The deposits, which seven years ago amounted to $2,800,000, are contrasted with deposits during the past year of about $23,700,000. The net savings as of June 30, 1927, were $46,147,178,93 and the bank balances $99,127,073.97." In New York State school savings exceed $2,500,000. Do You Want to Try For West Point?

The whiting are still a very long way off from reaching the half-mark of the blacks, and so the campaign goes on with greater force and better instruments are offered to Europeans to fill up the open spaces of temperate Africa, as the present settler will not be able to lloid the natives in check very much longer, notwithstanding their plentiful supply of airplanes and machine guns. Fortunately, nature has been kind to Africans living in the tropical belt, which includes all West Africa, as well as the central portion, the climate is so warm that Europeans cannot live there and thrive, so they hope to hang out to Africa by controlling the Eastern and Southern portions to the exclusion of the natives. The following excerpt from the speech of a white settler in Southern Rhodesia gives one an idea of the comparative populations, and how they hope to cope with the situation — "In England and Wales there are per aquere mile 648 persons; in Southern Rhodesia, ¼ white and ⅛ black; in the United States, 33 white and 3 black; in the Union of South Africa, 3 white and 12 black. During the past five years Rhodesia has increased at the rate of 1,000 a year, half of which is due to immigration. Of the increase nearly four-fifths is due to growth of townships, leaving a bare 1,000 for the rural districts. With the world changes which we have seen going on it is a slow rate of growth. New Zealand has accepted emigrants during the period at the rate of 1,000 a month, a figure which many call inadequate. White Rhodesia is only a baby yet in years, I entirely agree, but these years have been in an era of more rapid development than those in which other colonies have begun. "We must, in face of the facts, grow at a totally different rate if we are ever to attain a position of strength in this part of the globe. The pace we must make is not that which we prefer, but that dictated by the grim grant Necessity. It is the same as in other races in life, namely, the pace which our competitors call." Why all this anxiety to live in Africa one may ask? And we supply the answer in the words of one Major Percy Inskip, one of the campaigners for "more whiten in Africa." Of course, he only refers to Rhodesia, a colony founded by a consumptive Englishman named Cecil Rhodes, but the inducement holds good for all Africa. Major Inskip states. "Rhodesia contains large areas of most fertile soil, an excellent climate, and a sufficient rainfall. It boasts of many natural features of great beauty, such as the Victoria Falls, the Matopos, the Sinoia Caves, the Mazoo and Umtali valleys, Melsetter and Inyangs, and the Umukwes. The new settler is assured of a hearty welcome from a progressive and hospitable community, and when it is remembered that Southern Rhodesia is an exporter of gold, coal, asbestos, chrome ore, mica, maize, tobacco, cotton, and cattle, to which may be added lead and zinc from the north, and probably copper from both the near future, you will understand why I say that I shall be surprised and disappointed if the population of Southern Rhodesia is at least doubled within the next ten years." The white man is in Africa for all he can get out of Africa. He knows the value of minerals and the possibilities of fertile lands, and he further knows that Europe is over-populated and bankrupt, and in order to make a future for his children, he is trying to establish a firm foothold in temperate Africa. We contend that the white man should remain in his own native habitat, but he retorts with the argument of Prof Sollas in his "Prehistoric Man"—"it is not priority of occupation, but, the power to utilize, which established a claim to the land." We, of African descent, in the Western Hemisphere, know the value of minerals and fertile lands, and those of us who are true Gurviceites mean to go back and possess the land that is ours by Divine right and every law of Nature. The white man's argument is in everyday language, if a Kaffir is sitting on a heap of diamonds playing with them as if they were stones, and refusing to give them to him, the only logical thing to do is to put a buildup through the Kaffir's head and take the diamonds. The argument of shot and shell has been used on the African for a long time, and now that we Western World Africans know all that white men know, we are going to Africa to teach our brothers how to utilize all the wealth that God so benevolently bestowed on the country. We are going, despite the obstacles placed in our way by white governments, who would like to hog the whole world for their race. The British Government that works secretly to keep Western World Negroes out of Africa, does everything to help and encourage English emigrants to go there. According to a white settler in Rhodesia, England is helping them in the following manner "The Imperial Government, in starting us up on our over at an unusually early stage, has been generous. She is assisting with capital settlers to come in here, a most unusual feature. And, besides that, she is subsidizing handsome our tobacco industry. "In order to encourage emigration into the overseas Dominions she is, in spite of hor enormous taxation, due to the war, doing this at very considerable further expense. Her statemen are clearly that the future of the Commonwealth must increasingly lie, as the years roll on, in the newer portions of the world. IN THEM SHE WILL RENEW OR DIE. Perhaps even more significant of the trend is the action of the banking interest represented by Barclays in taking over several overseas banks. "Whatever the international aspect may be now or in a few years' time, there is only one effective way of holding any given part, namely, filling up!" Mr. Black Man of the Western World, it is up to you to help your brothers in Africa hold their own against white intruders. Africa has the numbers, we must supply the brains, the skilled labor, and leaven the black population. After that Nature will take its course, and noinflux of whites will prevent Africa from being the home of black men. Study the map of Africa and see where your destiny lies. Righteousness must triumph over tyranny, and Ethiopia will rise in her majesty.

There is but one entrance to the palace of efficiency all who come in any other way are thieves and robbers - Callotria Mignon ATLANTA Ga Nov. 17—Dr E H. Brookes, head of the department of political science in the University of South Africa, located at Pretoria, who is spending several weeks in the United States studying educational conditions, with special reference to Negro education, was a visitor to Atlanta last week. Asked for a statement, as to his observations of interracial conditions in this country as compared with those in the South African Union, Dr. Brookes said "I have been especially struck with the magnitude of private benefactions and state appropriations for the education of Negroes in American, and with the remarkable educational and economic progress which the race has made in this country. In South Africa native education is still largely in the hands of mission boards, with schools heavily subsidized by the government. Most of these schools are elementary or course, but there are a few good high schools and one government institution of college grade. The enrollment of the latter, however, has not yet reached a hundred Less than 50 percent of the native children are yet in school. Those who are, however, are responding just as other students do, and even in the Native college the same examinations and the same degrees are given as in the case of white students. We have reason to be quite optimistic (sic) as to the ability of the native to acquire education and profit by it. "As yet we have nothing that parallels at all the remarkable economic progress which Negroes have made in America—no Negro business or financial enterprise, and not yet very much entry into the field of skilled labor. Hereforeo I had not been confident of the native's ability to succeed in business, but I am going back very much more optimistic on this point because of my observations here." "Another striking difference between conditions here and there is the fact that in South Africa we recognize three distinct racial groups, white, colored and native, the colored comprising all those who have any apparent admixture of white blood. Socially the colored group is classed with the blacks in America, but politically and economically the tendency is the other way. The suffrage is freely accorded to colored voters of the same terms as to white and in the Cape Province the natives vote also on the same basis of property ownership. The government is planning for an even wider extension of the right of suffrage in the next few years. ```markdown ``` "We have segregation in travel in South Africa, but the accommodations are actually equal for the two groups, which I understand, is not always the case in America." There are three classes of railway travel—first, second and third—and full provision is made for both races in each class. Residential segregation, however, is not so fairly worked out among us, the amount of land allotted the white group being far out of proportion to their relative number. There has been also some tendency on the part of the whites to grab off the best of the lands. The sections reserved for the natives are held in trust by the government and are allotted to residents on a sort of tenant system rather, than in fee simple.

On the other hand, he has far greater economic and educational opportunity in this country than there. Having observed the effectiveness of the inter-racial movement-developed in your Southland, leaders in South Africa have for three or four years been promoting a similar movement for the improvement of local conditions, the influencing of helpful legislation, and the removal of bitterness and antagonism. This movement has the support of the government's Commission on Native Affairs, and has been achieving, very satisfactory results.

Today the conundrum of how the Southern Democrats record their demand for enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment with their cheerful publication of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth was to the fore. Captain Station, head of the Association Against Prohibition Amendment, sent an editorial from The World to Senator Glass of Virginia commenting on the alleged inconsistency of the Senator's opposing the sending of Federal agents' to supervise the State election' in Kentucky while standing for the despatch of Federal agents everywhere to enforce the Prohibition laws. "The attempt to draw an analogy," says Glass in reph, "between the attitude of the South on the question of Negro suffrage, and the position of persons Intent upon nullifying the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution is simply stupid. If one were to impute literal truth to the maledicated analogy, the conclusive answer would be that the South's resistance to the Fifteenth Amendment was intended to avert the wretched consequences of the unappealable crime involved in the adoption of the amendment. "It was done in the passloh of war and constituted an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the nation and to erect on its ruins an Ethiopian state, ignorant, profligate, corrupt, controlled by manumitted slaves, not one percent of them semiliterate, and these led by a band of white miscreants, executed figures in the nightmare of reconstruction. Distinction as to Crime "On the other hand, resistance to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and the statute enacted in pursuance thereof is not designed to avert crime, but to facilitate it. "I shall be obliged if either you or the newspaper you approvingly quote will point me to the statute providing for the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which you and that paper say the people of the South violate and thus render themselves amenable to your characterization of them as nullificationists. Of course, neither of you can do this, for the very good reason that there is no such statute. "Any group of persons in the country dissatisfied with the prohibition amendment or the prohibition laws has a perfect right to move for repeal or modification." "When a public man protests against sending Federal saintraps to supervise State elections, for which there is no sanction of law, it is rather silly to suggest that such a proceeding would have a precedent and parallel in sending Prohibition agents, under full sanction of law, to suppress the traffic in liquor. There is no semblance of analogy. And it might as well be understood that no State is going to abandon its lawful fight against illicit liquor under this threat of unlawful Federal control of elections." The question has also broken out in correspondence between Senator Edge of New Jersey and Sora or Borah, who recently demanded that the coming Republican National Convention quik fooling and make a platform declaration on Prohibition that means something. "You say," writes Senator Borah. "why confuse a platform pledge to protect the safety of the Constitution and compel law enforcement to the Eighteenth Amendment? I have no desire, Senator Edge, to confine the platform pledge to the Eighteenth Amendment. If you, or anyone else, desire to include the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, you will and full co-operation upon the part of those who are in favor of incorporating the pledge to the Eighteenth Amendment. I venture to say that there is not a supporter of the Eighteenth Amendment. North or South, but will be pleased to cooperate with you in including the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. "I assume from your interview that you are entirely satisfied to have a specific declaration in favor of 'upholding and maintaining the Eighteenth Amendment' if there is included in the platform at the same time a similar declaration with reference to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. If this be true, there is no difference to adjust 'between you and me." Republicana Gold to Threaten Four- teenth Amendment Inquiry (From the N. Y. Herald-Tribune) WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—The dragging forth of the Fourteenth Amendment, which has to do with Negro suffrage, has a bearing on the coming session of Congress additional to the Eighteenth Amendment and the question of prohibition enforcement with which it is just now coupled. The deeper hearing of this exploitation of the Fourteenth Amendment is connected with the question whether two Republican Bonators, Vare of Pennsylvania and Smith of Illinois will be allowed to keep their seats. As the Senate stands, Smith and Vare are due to be kept out of their seats. This is the true status of majority feeling in the Senate in spite of many assertions to the contrary. When the credentials of Smith obd Vare are presented to the Senate the first Monday in December, some one of the Senators opposed to their holding sent will move that their credentials be referred to the appropriate committee, and the confident expectation is that this motion will be carried. Thereafter, when the titles of Smith and Vare to their seats are defended by those Senators who believe in the validity of their credentials, the Fourth Amendment will be brought into play. To understand the bearing of Negro suffrage in Southern Democratic states on the election of Republican Senators from two Northern states, it is necessary to remember that the reason for doing seats to Smith and Vare consist in both cases of expenditures made in their behalf in primary elections. In the case of Vare, though not of Smith, an additional question has been raised as to the legality of not only the primary, but also the general election. The essential objections to. Smith and Vare, however, are the expenditures made in their primary elections. The defenders of Smith and Vare will take the position that a primary election is wholly an affair of the state in which it occurs and that the Senate has no right to inquire into it. Thoreauon, when and if the Democratic objectors to Smith and Vare proceed to take cognizance of these two primary elections 'anyhow', the Republican defenders will say, in effect, "Very well, we will then look into primary elections in the Southern states." No charge is made about excessive expenditures in Southern primaries. As to them the burden of the Republican threat lies in the well-known fact that in the Southern primaries comparatively few Negroes vote. If the Republican Senators carry out this regulatory threat they will bring in question, the seat of virtually every Southern Democratic Senator, because in most of the Southern states it is the primary election within the Democratic party that determines and the subsequent general election, is largely a formality. That this threat of the Republican Senators has some effect is shown by an admonition 'In the Democratic "Baltimore Sun," which spid, "May not Southern Democratic Senators consider it wise to let sleeping dogs lie." Violation of State Rights Charged That Vare, and infidelity Smith, intend to make use of this point in their defense is suggested by the fact that Vare has selected James M. Beck as his successor in the lower house of Congress. Beck was one of the earliest to raise a constitutional point in defense of Vare being allowed to have His Senate seat. Beck wrote a book hanging on this case, which is entitled "The Vanishing Rights of the States." His argument was in effect that inquiry by the Senate into a primary election within a State is unwarranted because it is an invasion of the rights of the States. The question is crowded with constitutional complexities, and will give rise to prolonged and intricate debate It is a fact that some Senators who are deeply impressed with the undesirability of Smith and Vare as Senators are also disturbed by Smith whether it is proper for the United States Senate to assert any kind of jurisdiction over primary elections. They are disturbed also by the fact that the voters of the two States, after you knew all about the situations in the primaries, nevertheless cave majorities to the two accused men, Vare and Smith, in the subsequent general election. The argument is that if the voters of Illinois and Pennsylvania did not look on the primary expenditures as a bar, then the Senate cannot.

AFRICA'S STRENGTH **"de-Africanized."** He finds it difficult to know what is exactly meant by these words which seem to be used by different speakers and writers with varying meanings. In the mouths of the baser part they appear to indicate the speakers' dislike of educated Africans. He then tells us that even the ardent advocates of educating Africans sometimes express the fear lost the recipient of education may be "de-Africanized" thereby, and that many of them maintain that Africans who go to Europe for education lose touch with their uneducated brethren, thus becoming effectively "de-Africanized" without becoming effectively Europeanized, a wretched enmesured type of men without the virility of racial characteristics. But none of them, as the writer points out, can define "Africanism" or say by what signs one may detect "de-Africanization." It is desirable now to quote the very words of the article under review Says the writer. "Comparison of various statements seems to indicate that by Africanism is meant the mental and moral outlook of the inhabitants of Africa at their first contact with white men and Western civilization while any change in an African mental and moral outlook de-Africanizes him, more briefly, the educated African is de-Africanized because life is different from his illiterate countrymen who are the only true African."

They are the rattler, viper, adder, copperhead and cotton mouth. They have no resisting traits. "It is easy to tell the poisonous from the non-poisonous. The dangerous kind has an unlimited number of scales on its head and two sets of nostrils." - I've itself is a game of chance and we must learn to take the chances or our progress will be on the small order.

PHOTO-STUDIO 109 West 135th St., New York City MONEY! THIS Subscription to the THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS OAKLAND, CAL. Members of the Oakland Division are conspiring their efforts to reach disinterested or misinformed persons of Negro blood with the true aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Friday evening, November 11, a representative group visited the 86th avenue Baptist Church in Elmhurst. The pastor, Rev. Thomas expressed himself as being in favor of the Garvey Movement, and extended to the members of the organization a hearty welcome. The sinister influence of the N. A. A. C. P. to divert the peoples' minds from the program of Africanism was distinctly in defense. "We do not want to be segregated," and "We are American citizens" (without rights), seems to be the disconcerting battle of this deceptive organization. There can never be any harmony between the truth and hypocrisy. It is the bounden duty and responsibility of all U. N. I A. Members to "spread the gospel of truth." The mass meeting of Sunday afternoon, November 13, was pregnant with inspiration and vital information Lieutenant Joseph Johnson was master of ceremonies. Mr W. R. W. Williams delivered a wonderful address on "The Black Man's Constitutions to Civilization" and the Moral Effects of Curvoyism. The speaker proved to be a keen investigator of public affairs and the early history of the black people. The Juveniles continue to enthuse and courage the youth of the civil follower of Little Ester Johnson, only three years old, spiritedly and clearly gang, one versed of the National anthem and the chorus. "Advance, Advance to Victory." Current Topics were read by A. S. Gray. News concerning the further partitioning of Africa was of paramount interest to all present. The progress of Chinese independence, another topic of importance to the African Nationalists was read and commented upon. Internal or local news contained the sad intelligence of another Tennessee bynching; the victim, accused of murder, accused of "attempted" assault of a white girl. The mob contained 360 "avenger." What will become of white posterity when the Negro imbibes the "avenging" spirit for the innumerable injustices suffered at the hands of the white mobbist? Such acts serve to further intensify the tigers of Garvoism. ARTHUR S. GRAY. Reporter. On Sunday, November 13, our regular mass meeting was called to order at 3:30 p. m. by the chaplain, Rev. Mr. Jones, who conducted the ritual and Scripture reading. The audience led by the choir sang the song, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." President J. H Trysead was the principal speaker, and made a fine talk on the "Principles of Garvayism." A nice program was put on by the Black Cross purse that was greatly enjoyed and highly appreciated by those present. The evening mass meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock. The choir sang the opening ode. The ritualistic preliminaries were carried out by the chaplain, after which the meeting was turned over to the president. After a few preliminary remarks the president announced Rev. S. H Mosely as the principal speaker of the evening. Rev. Mosely made an inspiring talk that was very instructive. There were several speakers during the evening, all of whom made interesting and enlightening talks. The program for the evening was greatly enjoyed by all present. It included soles by Mrs S. M. Thompson and Mrs. A. S. Rodriguez that brought forth storms of appalause and "incessated several encores. The meeting was an enjoyable one and was brought to a close by the singing of the National anthem and bonadiction by the chaplain. M. S. Thompson was hostess to the members of this division at an informal reception Wednaday evening. November 16, held at her palatial bungalow, 3710 Central Avenue. The affair was brilliantly carried out and marks the, beginning of Tampa's social season, incidentally, setting a high mark for other aspiring matrons to shoot at. JOHN H. CLAY, Reporter.

The Brooklyn Division, No. 2, held its regular Sunday afternoon meeting at 880 Cumberland Street on Sunday, November 13, at 5 p. m. The aftermath of the division's seventh annual dance, which was held recently at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, indicated a new prospectus of the divisions activities in the city of churches. Well may it be said that an entourage of new faculty is in need to accelerate the work of the association in terms of effort and superior forcissort. Doubts the present outlook is not blessed, especially when we attempt to predict that for the coming year the real work of the association's activities in these parts will be vested solely in the Brooklyn Division. Whether or not the thousands of inhabitants, of color in our borough will, be aware once more of the great momentum of race-consciousness and the only ultimate source of "deliverance" which the U. N. L. A. propagates, will be determined, not by flamboyant make-shift, enterprises, but by concrete examples of sterling worth. Members from local literary clubs have pledged their support in behalf of the work of the division. As an evidence of the growing interest which is being manifested in our work by local students of contemporary thought on November 13 Mr. I. L. Gibbons, himself a member of the Brooklyn I. O. B. Research Society, was the principal speaker. He delivered a lengthy discourse on "Our Present Inconvenients and Future Hope," which was "put over" in a masterly manner, judging from the apause of the audience. "The philosophy of life yesterday, today, and for years to come," he wrote, "maze of the survival of the fittest." Mr. Gibbons explained while he drew an analogy of the Jews and their dispersion. He carried the audience through their period of suffering up to the Russian revolution of 1917, then to the present time. He recounted the many limitations placed in our patria and brought us toward a final assurance that "we are the masters of our fates and the captains of our souls." Mr. E. Thorpe gave a reddening taken from a current issue of a local publication re "The Clash of Color in South Africa." A delightful, educational and inspiring afternoon was enjoyed by m. on November 28 and 29. The speaker has been accredited for the occasion. The rhythmic soldier, "Onward Christian Soldiers," which injects an invisible motive force impelling action, was sung by the members, after which the meeting came to a close. LIONEL RICHARDSON. Reporter. NEW HAVEN, CONN. The New Haven Division of the V. N. I. A. held a delightful and interesting meeting at the Masonic Hall, 75 Webster Street, Sunday, November 13 at 3:45 p.m. The division was honored with the presence of one of Africa's native sons in the person of the Right Rev. D. M. Alexander, D. D. Archbishop and Primate, African Orthodox Church, Province of South Africa. The meeting was conducted by the first vice-president, Mr. Rufus A Rawlins, in the absence of J. Joseph Ward, the president of Greenhut's Mountain, and the organization's official prayer was said. After the welcome address by the acting president the front page of The Negro World was read by the general secretary, Mr. Charles H. Mills, at the celebration of the reading it was highly applauded by the audience.

Hills, basing his subject on the greatness of white men of the various countries and comparing them with the few great men of our race; recitation by Miss Elysia Ward, daughter of the president, who recited and sang the National Anthom of Ethiopia; Miss Helen Clark, daughter of the indy president, M. Maume Clark, recited, basher her discourse chief, on Africa. At this juncture the Bishop was introduced and the audience stood up in token of our appreciation of the coming of our brother. The most reverend gentleman stated that he was glad to be in our presence and that his mission was clearly to the church of his denomination of this city, but being a race man he was compelled to visit the U. N. I. A. meeting. The most reverend gentleman congratulated us in our efforts in trying to assail Mother Africa, but shows us some of our shortcomings. He then made an appeal for help in designing a printing press, which he hopes to take back with him or come after him, so that the good work being done throughout the world will be better known throughout Africa. The collection was lifted. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of our National Anthem, and glammed with the benediction. CHARLES H MILLS.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927 NEWARK, N. J. Sunday, October 20, was a red letter day in Newark, N.J. It was on the occasion of our dedicating Liberty Hall to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Long before 11 a.m., the hall was crowded with visitors from nearby divisions, including Brooklyn, New York, etc. The morning service began at 11 a.m. promptly. Miss Grace Amos, our pianist, played the processional hymn, "He Leadeth Me, He Leadeth Me." The Newark Division Choir followed to the strain, after which the ritualistic ceremonies were conducted by our president. The sermon was preached by Roy, A.C. Barber of the Triumph, the Church of the New Age. It was very impressive, hardly hard to hear, but the impact of the incarceration of the leader, Hon. Marcus Gatway. He gave a wonderful thought to the membership to keep in view as he spoke on the subject, "She build the wall because they had a mind to work." At 3 D. m. the Universal Royal Guards guarded a wonderful demonstration on the sidewalk which caused many thousands of Negroes to wonder at our great organization. The U. N. I. A. Band, consisting of 30 pieces, made a wonderful impression, under the leadership of Bandmaster O'Laughlin. It was a treat to the outside public when the African Royal Guards encountered a demonstration, under the leadership of Col. Wattley of New York City. At 3 45 our afternoon meeting started. The uniform ranks were in good trim. This meeting was for the purpose of our dedication. Our worthy President, Mr. Charles L. James, presided. Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, was the principal speaker. A splendid musical program was rendered by the New York and 'Newark choirs. Mrs. Harriet M. Roy, Newark choir, and Mrs. Whitney of Newark's division choir, received much applause. The musical program ended with a band selection. The chairman made the opening address, which was enjoyed by all. He then introduced the Hon. E. B. Knox, who kept the audience spellbound for fully twenty-five minutes. Our hearts burned within us while he opened to us the possibility of Africa's redemption and assured us that he would at all times uphold the hands of our leader. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of the Ethidian Anthem. At 8 p. m. our meeting was brought to order by our President. He then called, for the selections that were omitted in the afternoon, because of lack of time in the afternoon. Meeting continued with an opening address by the President, Hon. Charles L. James, who has just been recently appointed as Commissioner for the State of New Jersey. A special appeal was made for a donation to the Negro World. An address was made by Rev Butler, our also chaplain. After which the President announced his regret that he would have to leave the Newark Division on vacation in university in elasmut, Va., and the Hon. Marcus Garvoy, Newark Division is traveling by leaps and bounds since the appointment of Mr. James as president, and we hope to tear the crown from the other larger divisions in the near future. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of "God Bless Our President." NUEVITAS, CUBA Sunday, November 8.

Trott, who has been appointed by the president as chairman of the Agrent Body Defense Committee, spoke briefly on the "Spirit of Adventure and the Element of Sacrifice" that must continue to prevail in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association if we are to survive the critical days.

Himself and charter members of the U. N. I. A., Mr. Williams stated, that the majority of the brotherhood were favorable to our program and willing to co-operate. Mr. William Tritt spoke briefly on "Armenite Day," reminding the members that it was the native African troops, the Negro West Indian regiments and the "black soldiers that fought for Uman S汗," that proved the 'declive factors in the Great War.' We won the war, but we lost the page because we had no spokesman or recognized organization to champion our cause at Versailles. Garves and the U. N. I. A. are now determined to prevent the useless sacrifice of Negro lives. We must rally to the defense of Marcus Garvay, rally to the support of the parent body and to its organ.

CAMAGUEY, CUBA A very fine spirit of loyalty and determination is being manifested by this division. Members of both sexes are working hard to place it permanently in a position in which all divisions should be in any community—a center of activity from which radiate forces binding and welding their people into one common mass for good. Garvey Day, November 6, was observed with affinity with "Women's Day." Excessive rails washed out the previous date and caused the clash with the Garvey Day services. Touching dresses by Mrs. Smith, chapelhead, A. E. Moyne, president, made their obvious impressions on the audience, and such eloquent appeals to heaven on behalf of our imprisoned leader were characteristic of the whole service. Subsequently, the meeting was turned over to the lady president, Mrs. Sarah Walcott. She gyeed a very illuminating address on the part our women would play in the life of the U. N. L. A. The program consisted of appropriate addresses by prominent women of the division and of the fraternal societies. Their depth of thought and fine delivery must have required considerable preparation. These were interspersed by some musical selections, vocal and instrumental, all of which were executed with marked musical ability. The following persons contributed to the program: Miss A. Rose, Miss R. White, Mrs. Harrison, Miss I. Haughey, Miss A. Robinson, Mrs. A. Robinson and Mrs. Allen, who were conspicuous by the forceful nature of their appeal, and who marred the response they receive from the audience. A fine selection on the piano by Mrs. E. Brissett, a celebrated pianist, was worthy of the applause she received. The president, Mr. A. E. Monroe, then made a brief address commending the ladies and exhorting them to continue. The meeting was subsequently turned over to the chaplain, Mr. L. Smith, who concluded the service with prayer. The Ethiopian national anthem was very impressive meeting Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. on regular business meeting was held. The resignation of the first vice-president, Mr. S. T. Atkina, was accepted. The seriousness displayed throughout the meeting and the concrete plans launched shows conclusively that Garveyism came from a deep conviction, ever growing in the hearts of Negroes, and that it is a living, gripping force, to come to a material backbone. The Negroes are now in "Washington" shall not remain adamant to our plea in releasing from prison Marcus Garvey, the idol of the Negra race—a friend to the white race. SAMUEL T. ATKINS, Reporter.

F. THOMAS, Prop. Spanish Section Soy Negro El siguiente artículo es un extracto del famoso discurso del Hónor Marcos Garvey en su celebre juicio oral, impreso en su libro "Filosofía y Opiniones" volumen 11: Oyo soy negro. No tengo que ofrecer excusas por una negro, porque mi Dios me creó para ser lo que soy, y como soy asi, volveré a El de esta manera, pues el Todo Poderoso sabe justamente las causas que le obligaron a hacer lo que hizo. Asi, señores del jurado, vosotros comprenderéis que detras de toda proposición negociable yace el espíritu del movimiento. No entrare en detalles sobre la labor de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra; pero os digo: Yo se que hay cierta gente a quien yo no le agrado porque soy negro, no las agrado porque no he nacido en este país no obstante ello no fue culpa mia. Satisfaccion por el soporte al magno movimiento de emanciapacion. El descontento se manifiesta entre la huestes de nuestro pueblo. La labor progresista de la organización en sus pocos años de existencia. El Africa despierta El honorable presidente general de esta organización se halla en su retro altamente satisfecho con las demonstraciones de enthusiasmo y esplendida lealtad, que por la causa de su emancipación el negro desplega universalmente. El quiere hacer saber a sus hermanos de raza, que el mejor lenitivo para sus sufrimientos es la unión sólida y el patrocinio del programa de una patria redimida, con la constitución de su gobierno como gran objetivo. Vosotros, señores del jurado, saubí la historia de mi raza. Me trajerqn aquí, fui y vendido a los esclavistas en la laína de Jamaica, y algún esclavista irlandés dióque su nombre. Garvey no es un nombre africano, como tampoco los son Johnson, Garcia, Thonpson y Tobias, que en nada se ascian al léxico africano. De donde recibimos y tomamos tales nombres? Lós hemos heredado de nuestros amos los ingleses, los franceses, esoceses e irlandeses. De manera que si yo naci en Jamaica no fue culpa mia, y solo fue causante el barco que me llevo a Jamaica, que ancló en esa laína, en vez de hacer arribada a puerto norte-americano. Desde su encarcelamiento, nada que haya ocurrido en el fragor de nuestras luchas por nuestro ideal, ha impresionado al gran leader tan satisfactoriamente, haciéndole sentir que sus esfuerzos no han sido vanos, como la actitud manifestada recientemente por los nativos de Africa, en su determinación de soportar los principios de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y la reconquista de sus derechos para vivir como seres humanos en un Africa propia dirifida y gobernada por africanos nativos. No llegamos aquí, alla ó mas allá con nuestro propio consentimiento. A nosotros se nos traja a este lado del oceano, y he aquí que la cuestión de nacimiento no entra en esta cuestión del negro; ello fue una cuestión de accidente. Pueden ustedes culparse porque yo sea producto de este accidente, esto es, ser un negro jamaiciano y no un negro norteamericano? Simembargo, hay una cuestión mas importante en vuelta en este asunto; esta es la cuestión de raza. Que vais a hacer vosotros con este asunto racial? Podríes no harcerle caso al presente, pero va a ser mas serio de lo que vosotros pensais, y la organización que yo preside esta hacia lo posible para ayudaros en la solución del problema del negro, prestando asistencia a ese factor racial para que fomente em. asas, se independiente politicamente procurándose un país suyo propio. En el sur del país sus habitantes se han revelado en contra del mal tratamiento de que han sido victimas, de parte de los intrusos. Varios miles de nativos de han declarado en huelga como resentimiento en contra de la intención del gobierno británico en paralizar ciertas fabricas en el país. En el norte, como todos sabemos, una y otra vez las huestes invasoras han sido humilladas por el valor y la determinación de las tribus guerreras, mientras en la parte más septentrional del país los espartanos del presente se han levantado en armas, en contra de la dictadura detestable de otras naciones. La encarcelación del honorable Marcus Garvey ha añadido calor al sentimiento de emancipación, que se ha esparcido por toda la superficie del continente africano. Un congreso de africanos nativos adoptó una resolución pidiendo al gobierno de este país, clemencia para nuestro venerado líder. El presidente de dicho congreso manifestó que el momento llegaría cuando se adaptaran en convenciones de la raza, resoluciones de tal naturaleza, gústele o no al hombre blanco. Si me seguís en el transcurso de las edades, vosotros vareis que dentro de cien años vais a confrontar un problema racial terrible en Norte America, cuando este pais sostenga una población excesivamente grande.. Ello traerá una lucha tenaz por la existencia entre las razas opuestas. El debil sucumbirá al dominio del fuerte. En los disturbios raciales de Washington, San Luis, Chicago y Tulsa, estudiad la cuestión racial y encontrarse que hay que profundizar pensando detenidamente, y algo debe hacerse ahora para resolver 'este problema. De no hacerlo así, viestras generaciones venideras tendrán que confrontar la misma situación. Sabeis vosotros lo que ha de pasar cuando quería pany el otro tenga la misma necesidad? La enamestid la la presión harán su puja y como consecuencia lógica, una lucha se entabla. Por ello mi organización ha empezado esta campaña para gedimir al Africa y establecer un país suyir propio y no molestaros en el país que vuestros padres fundaran cientos de años ha. Esa manifestación debe convencer a los que aún dudan, que la emancipación del Africa es un proyecto practicable y que la idea de Marcus Garvey de un Africa para los africanos dentro y fuera del continente, es el toque de llamada de un patriota, de un estadista y de un gran pensador. El Africa será redimida; el Africa tiene que ser redimida, y su redención será encarriada por la ayuda que sus descendientes en el nuevo mundo den a sus hermanos en aquella patria. El espíritu destructor en contra de los grandes ideales, no prevalece generalmente en la masa de nuestro pueblo en este lado del Atlántico. Si los nativos de Africa han de laborar por la salvación de su patfia, y esto haya de realizarse antes de la reaparición de un nuevo Mesias una ayuda exterior tendrá que ser hasta ellos enviada. Ha sido la ayuda exterior en forma de financia con la propaganda leal del americico irlandés, la responsable de que flamee en el asta de un consulado en la ciudad de Washington la bandera de un estado libre irlandés. Ha de ser la misma clase de ayuda de parte de nuestro elemento en este lado del atlántico, la responsable de que el negro pueda erguir su cabeza y demande del mundo el respeto que como hombre le es debido. Mount Vernon Named In Honor of Admiral The mansion on the rolling estate now called Mount Vernon was built in 1743 by George Washington's halfbrother, Lawrence. Its name, Hunting Creek Estate, was later changed in honor of Admiral Vernon, under whom Lawrence had fought in a war against Spain. Por espacio de mas de ocho años, nuestra organización ha extendido la propaganda de un Africa redimida por el universo entero, a espensas del elemento de la raza. Tomando en consideración los centenares de miles de pesos, y la disposición de aquellos que luchan en nuestra contra, intentando destruir nuestra propaganda, lo poco que hemos invertido en propagar nuestro ideal, probará en el futuro el ser una de las inversiones mas solidas realizada por pueblo alguno. Aquellos que siguen paso a paso el curso de los acontecimientos no pueden pasar por desapercibido y convencerse de que nuestra organización lleva a la realización una grande y gloriosa obra, cuya influencia será sinceramente revelada por el historiador en un porvenir colmado de grandes realizaciones. George Washington's birthplace was at Wakefield, Va. fifty miles below Mount Vernon. At the death of Lawrence and his daughter, George Washington came into possession of the estate. Soon after his marriage he took up porch residence there. It remained his home until his death, in 1799, says the Mentor. Bees Take Charge of Telephone Line YORK.

ADVERTISE HERE AND GET RESULTS NO CHARGES FOR TRANSLATIONS El militarismo continua, siendo una amenaza contra la civilización mundial, según la opinión de los oradores que hicieron uso de la palabra en el Congreso de Confiraternizacion International celebrado en la cindad. de San Luis mientras que otros dos ven densos nubarones que amenazan eclipsar las esperanzas de una paz duradera. Uno de los oradores de las Islas Británicas, cree que otra guerra más y esta malleiocrort de la humanidad quedará exterminada, después de haber destruido la civilización. El doctor A. J. Brown, de esta ciudad observa recrudescencia de un militarismo irascible en tdddos los países, mientras que el doctor S. D. Chown, del Canadá, prevé un desastre general si los Estados Unidos no se unen a la Laga de Naciones. El cuarto de los oradores, el doctor J. Wilson Cochran, pastor de la American Church de Paris, Francia, dice que Eiiropa necesita de los Estados Unidos con su cruz como símbolo de conquista, más que con la espada y el talgo de oro. El doctor Brown pintó un cuadro de renovada preparación para una nueva guerra. Dijo que nueve años después de la celebración del armisticio, seis millones de hombres se encuentran en servicio militar activo. Novecientos tres barcos de guerra se encuentran actualmente en construcción en diversos astilleros. En los Estados Unidos se estó predicando y exhortando diariamente para estar preparados. En casi todos los países se observa una recrudecencia de una apretado militarismo. Cree, sin embargo, que los antagonismos entre los europeos y los norteamericanos más instruidos va disminuyendo. El tremendo poder adquirido recientemente por los Estados Unidos causa grandes escalorios entre las naciones europeas, as la opinión del doctor Cochran. La esperanza del mundo es la esperanza cristiana. Yo dudo que se pueda llegar a una conspicción de la guerra mientras que todas las iglesias no se unan para la realización de un programa mundial y empiecen una cruzada que movilice todas sus fuerzas. Ningún hombre tiene derecho a llamarnos, sofáadores, fanáticos et útípicos, declica el doctor Arthur Pringle. Esta ciudad de buena voluntad internacional, en la que hemos puesto nuestros corazones y todas nuestras fuerzas, puede sólo construir mediante una decision y una resolución firme, rehusando todo ataque descorazonador. Los canadiense se ven muy afectados por los Estados Unidos en modos distintos al que presenta la proximidad de las dos naciones, según la opinión del doctor S. D. Chown. El Canadá no prestará cooperación a una preponderancia excesiva del imperio británico, con una influencia decisiva en la Liga de Naciones Nosotros hemos de esforzarnos por representar a Norte América debida y decorosamente hasta que los habitantes de los Estados Unidos crean que debeh tomar un asiento definitivo en Ginebra. Careciendo de la ayuda de esta poderosa república, la Liga de Naciones, se ve amehazada del peligro que'accompaí si siempre a contratiempos espantosos e irremediables. 110 Divorces Granted In Sixty Seconds LONDON.—English justice has the reputation of moving fast, but Judge Mackinion in divorce court stepped on the accelerator so hard that the bandage over the eyes of the Goddess of Justice almost blow off. In one minute—just sixty seconds—he granted 110 absolute divorces. He still had a few seconds left to take out one case at the request of a young man, who had come all the way from South Africa, and order a retrial. Bought.Wife,but JOHANNESBURG, South Africa.

Police say the case is outside their jurisdiction. Aberromble says he will take the case to the civil courts in an effort to regain his truck and $50. Beware of the Fortune Hunter and the Dude Who Prey Upon the Trusting — Consider the Reason for Soliciting the Loan By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Perhaps you read the words of caution of a popular woman writer that it's a rare man who forgives the woman he loves for loaning him money. Then to prove her statement, she tells the story of a young girl who loaned money to a worthless scamp who naturally proved to be ungrateful. Frankly, I believe it would be hard to draw a fast rule about lending money to a man. There are all kinds of men, and it is showing a lack of faith in human nature to believe no man capable of being grateful for a loan. Usually, it is the woman's own fault if she lends money and is afterward sorry. Consider the man first of all. Has he saved his money or has he squandered it, and does he now propose to squander yours? For what purpose does he wish to borrow money, and what assurance have you that he will use it profitably? If he is in debt, why should you rob yourself that he pay Paul? Paying a man's debt is merely encouraging him to contract others. - What does the man to whom you are lending money mean to 'you'? You certainly wouldn't lend money to any casual acquaintance who tried to "touch" you. If he's your dance or husband, as his future or present partner, why shouldn't you advance him funds when he is temporarily embarrassed. Let him give you a business-like note, and see to it that he repays you when his time is up. Whenever you chance to lend money, don't let the question of gratitude arise. Few men like to swallow their pride, and they'd rather think you a creditor than a benefactress. Humor them! Sometimes it's a question of advancing money to one's chances in order to facilitate marriage. Could one spend her money more profitably than in buying happiness? In Europe, where a dowry is considered essential to every respectable marriage, experience has shown that money given in a marriage settlement is rarely if ever dissipated prodigally. Why as for gratitude from a man who offers you his love? Only the poor, misguided girl, who lends money to a dude so that he may indulge in the heights of cartorial splendor, will regret most certainly her ill-advised loan. Or the woman who places her savings in the hands of a clever fortune hunter or professional bigamist. But you women who are called upon every day to help out with your low dollars clean, honest men who hope to support you and make you happy, need not hostile to intrust your money in their hands. That doesn't mean to lend money blindly. Know, why the money is needed and how it is going to be used. Insist that you are consulted about its disposal and keep your hand on the purse strings. Even men can make mistakes, and often it's a mute woman who sees them in time. How many successful business men about town today do you suppose owe their success to the thrift with which their wives saved for their rainy days? Women are more dependent than men, and they realize more keeply the need of capital. After all, money-won't mean much to you when love goes out alarming the door. Under our present calendar, no century can commence on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

Leonard Woolley, director of the expedition, who also stated that in the grave with the Prince were his arms, helmet, cups and gold ornamentes Pennsylvania museum authorities believed Prince Meikalamdug to be of a period prior to the first dynasty of Ur. about 800 B. C. The grave was found in the ancient cometary, which was first unearthed by the joint expedition last November and whose discoveries enlightened archaeologists to carry the civilization of the region back to the Kings of Erech, who reigned for periods that make Methuselah look young. The Educated Sex Which Is It? Almost two-and-a-half times as many women as men attended the summer sessions of Columbia University—2,802 as against 4,055. These disproportionate numbers are mainly due to the presence of nearly 2,000 teachers; the great majority of teachers are still women. All the same, those who fear that higher education is becoming familized will find food for gloomy forecasts in the figures covering a number of years. In 1890, according to the Federal Statistical Abstract, there were 49,055 men college students, and 10,761 women, more than four times as many men as women. In 1910 there were 119,578 men and 48,441 women, not quite a 3-to-1 ratio. In 1924, World Almanac figures, there were in collegiate departments 389,817 men and 196,432 women, a proportion of about 10 to 7—but in the professional departments there were 85,895 men and only 5,661 women. Unless the earlier figures were very incomplete, the number of college students has in thirty four years been multiplied by eight; and women are gaining much faster than men in the general culture courses. They have been called in the United States the Leisure Sex. Are they by way of becoming the Educated Sox-New York World. Irving's House Will Be Restored The ownership of the old house which between 1883 and 1860 was the home of Washington Irving, has passed from Algernon S. Beil to the National Patriotic Builders of America, Inc. It is the purpose of this society to restore the house to its original condition and appearance. It is located on the southwest corner of Seventeenth street and Irving place. The building will serve as a city memorial to Washington Irving and as headquarters for an extensive Americanization and patriotic program which the Patriotic Builders have in view. The transfer took place in the little front room in which Irving read proof of his "Bistch Book," and wrote much of his "Astoria." Mrs. William Cumming Story, past president-general of the D. A. R. and now president of the Patriotic Builders, took part in the title-inking ceremony. The dull gray, finish of the exterior of the building will be removed and the original pink brick will again be exposed. Other exterior changes will be made as well as those contemplated for the interior. Much of the antique furniture belonging to friends and members of the Irving family will be placed in the rooms. BEILLIN, Nov 10. - Science has discovered that the pressing of clothes has a higher function than that of merely keeping a knife edge disease in trousers. Prof. M. Hahn, director of the Berlin Hygiene Institute, has recently performed experiments with mechanical ironing machines whereby overcoats, trousers and blankets were completely sterilized of 'disease-producing bacteria. Through the entrance of steam into the ironing plates, temperature of from 212, to 223 degrees Fahrenheit can be obtained in a few seconds, the scoutist and his assistants report. This can be raised to 262 degrees in a comparatively short time. The time period is so measured, that every fabric, according to its thickness, is exposed to the steaming from twenty-five to thirty seconds. Thick overcoat materials which had been smoaked with many kinds of dangerous 'bacillus', and camel's hair blankets were found to be entirely freed by the ironing process of purforming bacteria and germs closely related to the typhoid bacillus. Tuberculosis bacillus placed in trousers pockets were killed in thirty seconds by the application of steam. Spore-forming bacteria required longer treatment. At least eight minutes of ironing was necessary to destroy these resistant types. It was found. While disinfection apparatus is still advisable for rendering a large quantity of materials free from germs, the use of ironing machines is especially valuable for small and moderate sized hospitals, sanitariums, hotels and sleeping cars. Prof. Hahn pointed out, because the apparatus is inexpensive and easy to operate. Get your share of the Wealth and Happiness that's at around you. Win in games, log business and everything.

Spirit of Garvey Is in South Africa To the Editor at the Right Please allow me to say something in our interesting paper concerning the U. N. I. A. I am a member of the organization who loves it Ivy and right the U. N. I. A. is with me White supremacy, with all of its attendant inequalities, is a menace to the peace and harmony of all non-white races. When the Negro can divorce his mind from white dependence, he will be better equipped for solving his many problems. The UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION has the only plan for racial solidarity, 4.6., "to establish a universal CONFRATERNITY among the race . . . to WORK FOR BETTER CONDITIONS among Negroes everywhere." Fellowmen of Africa and the race, the spirit of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, which is telling black men and women to build a home and shelter for themselves in Africa, the land of their fathers, reached us safely and is slowly creeping into the hearts of the thinking class here. In Ireland where I live we are also busy organizing for the redemption of Afrika—our exploited home—the great drawback is lack of education, and the task is very great. We, therefore, appeal to all Negroes in more enlightened lands to assist in the work of enlightening duly Africa. Even if you don't belong to the organization, you can do something for respect and duty to your motherland, Africa, by throwing in your lot with those who seek to civilize or industrialise it. Let's join hands so that even if we differ in opinions, our ranks will remain undivided for as long as we remain human there. will always be a possibility for us to do what other peoples of the human family have done, otherwise we shall have to change and become animal. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. — Colored farmers throughout the country who have had difficulty in financing their operations during the recent years, will be interested in the statement recently made by WgW. Powell, secretary of the American Association of Joint Stock Land Banks, who said: "The federal farm loan system has now been in operation ten years. In this time the banks in the system, numbering 12 federal land banks and 65 joint stock land banks, have made loans to farmers amounting to approximately $2,000,000,000. The United States is the last of the important nations of the world to adopt a system of land credit which provides loans on the long-term amortization plan. Come, let's follow the leadership that shows the greater light and that shows the firmer purpose, let's join together, stand together, work together, die together. Wake up, Negroes of Africa! Get out of your decaying bunks, lest you fall and hurt yourself. You are in Africa but you have no home in it. Today my sisters came from Spelokenken telling me sad news about their lives there, where men, women and children carry equal burdens, working hard on farms to get bread. The other man does not pity them but becomes "The American system is an adaptation of that which was established in Germany in 1769. In the 160 years that have followed the inauguration of long-term loans in Europe, similar systems have been established in every large and agriculturally important country in the world." more heartless each day. Unless we get to our own we shall always' toll for the other group. Come, sons of Africa, be chivalrous, sympathetic and brave. Join together to give rest unto the crying daughters of Africa. May God deliver this land from oppression. Amortization, as used above, is the term applied to the process of paying off an indebtedness by instalment payments of a fixed amount, which includes interest and a part of the principal throughout a period of years. All loans under the federal farm loan system are made on this plan, and the farmer who borrows may arrange to have his loan run from 5 to 40 years, without renewal charges, and can pay off his debt in annual or semi-annual payments. The money borrowed may be spent to discharge existing indebtedness, for the purchase of land and live stock, or for any kind of productive improvements, for fertilizer, for construction, and for farm equipment. C.P.B. Race Solidarity Is To the Editor of The Negro World: Much discussion is heard at this time about the benefits to be derived by the Negro peoples from the "solidarity" of the workers. While it is very true that a vast amount of the labor of the world is produced from the ranks of the Negro workers, it is too much to assume that the mere co-operation with other workers will solve our problems in general. Racial prejudice is a trait taught to the very children of the rich and poor whites, respectively. Now that the white workers are beginning to realize the oppression of the capitalist system, commonly known as master and slave for boss and servant, they are willing to recognize the Negro worker for economic reasons only. But does this attitude mean that they (the white workers) are willing to accord the Negro all social privileges that they themselves enjoy? Furthermore, does this spontaneous interest mean that we will be accorded full political recognition to hold positions in their governments and make laws the same Y. W. C. A. at Princeton, N. J. PRINCETON, N. J.

"100 WAYS TO GET RICH" Mr. Kirnon Lectures On Slavery Abolition In the West Indies An attentive audience listened to Mr. Hodge Kirton in a lecture of "The Causes of the Abolition of Slavery in the British West Indies" on Sunday at 207 West 327th street. The lecturer held the interest of this audience from the beginning of his talk, commencing with the introduction of sugar to Europeans by the Crusaders and British colonization of the West Indies during the seventeenth century, in which were laid the foundations of England's commercial supremacy. The breaking up of the slave trade, the lecturer explained as being due partly to the humanitarian efforts of Wilberforce and his followers and the sudden decline of the sugar industry. As to the cause of the abolition of slavery in the islands the speaker explained at length and, in detail that while the issue was fought apparently on moral principles, in reality the determining factor was an economic one—the conflict between the capital invested by East India sugar interests and its triumph over the West Indian product. It was, Mr. Kirnson and, a clash and victory for East India interests with cheap labor at its command and West Indian interests with slave labor, which was more expensive. The prosperity of the West Indies, built on slave labor, gruntfully totered and its ruin was made complete by the Abolitionists and their supporters. $7,000 Found in amsterdam Big Mystery to Police AMSTERDAM.-The Amsterdam police force is dealing with one of the most mysterious cases in its history. A month ago a citizen, walking in one of the parks of the metropolis, hit his foot against a portfolio containing a large number of banknotes to a total value of $7,000. He took his find to the police, who have inquired into the matter without any result. Nobody had informed the police of the loss of the money and not a single trace of larceny has been discovered. As the banknotes are genuine, there is no question of a crime being involved. Could it be possible that the owner of the money is such a wealthy man that he has not noticed that he has lost $7,000? Are you suffering from the misery of a lame, aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes, and supports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately. And you get fasting relief, too, for the medication is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. Try a Red Cross Kidney Plaster tonight and prove how quickly it drives away the misery of a weak back. Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's, the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. ```markdown ``` ARE YOU NERVOUS?

Jews, Ask Eightseeing Ban at Wailing Place JERUSALEM. — A petition to the High Commissioner of Palestine by Jewish worshipers at the western, wall of the Temple, known as the Walling Wall, asked that the generally accepted rules in regard to sightseeing at the holy places in Jerusalem also be enforced at the Wall. The Jewish worshipers requested that the Jerusalem policies be directed to prevent sightseers from visiting the Wall during the hours of prayer on Friday night night and Saturday. The petition says that many of the spectators, who often come in large numbers, display an irreverent attitude which is offensive to the worshipers. The holy places of worship of other creeds are not open for sightseeing during prayer.
