Negroes Everywhere Called Upon to Brace Up Themselves, And to Be A Part of Worlds' Great Forward Movement, The U. N. I. A.
GET READY FOR THE CONVENTION — ALL ROADS WILL LEAD TO KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. I.
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Why wait until the millennium? The time is now. "Not Tomorrow, but right Now." We have been waiting for centuries for a visitation from Above or for a change of heart on the part of our fellow creatures to save us from the wrath of oppression, injustice and sin. Know ye not that our salvation rests with ourselves? Believing which, the Universal Negro Improvement Association presents a program that calls for a world readjustment.
Throw Off Superstition
Negroes everywhere are called upon to throw off the superstition and the yoke of ages and brace up themselves to be a part of the world's great onward rush toward peace, security and power. The force that tells is not that engrafted with superstition, but that which is self-reliant and self-assertive. The force of power to create is that which sways and rules in the affairs of men, and that is why the Negro world must be stirred to a sense of its own responsibility. We must now be up and doing. No time should be wasted to the other fellow for that which we can do ourselves, but every minute put in with active demonstration to force a way to the forefront in the activities of races and nations.
Convention Called Together
Africa beckons to the Negro, requesting, nay, demanding, a deeper interest on the part of each and every one who retains her blood to assist her to arise from the sleep of ages to a realization of her usefulness, strength and power, as the home of the truant son of Ham. And shall we not answer the call of Africa now? Surely each and every one who professes the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will do everything to assist Mother Africa to her new place and position among the nations of the world.
Africa Beckons
For this we are calling together our Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, not only to talk over the future of Africa, but to work for her development. She must be saved from the ravages and plunder of the unmerciful. Not only are the gold, diamond, coal and oil fields being exploited for the benefit of others, but now we understand that the entire radium area of the Congo is to be dumped in the spoils of European and American exploitation. Here we have it again that our sons and daughters are to be brought under the iron heel of the slave trader, to work and to suffer and die to supply the world with its wealth
Africa Beckons to Every Negro—Demands Awakened, Enlightened Interest—Must Do Everything to Assist Motherland to Place And Position Among Nations of the World—Shall We Not Answer Her Call?

Africans at Home and Abroad, Must Work for Africa's
Redemption—We Must Uplift Ourselves—Uniting
Our Forces For the Common Good
of avarice. We did that for 250 years in America and in
the West Indies. We suffered unremittingly for 300
years to build up empires of other races, and now the
merciless, heartless world seeks to duplicate the same
thing in Africa. Shall four hundred million of us stand
for it? The answer is "NO!"
U. N. I. A. Makes Appeal
Thus, the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes an appeal to the four hundred million members of our blood to morally, physically and in every way throw off this new yoke that seeks to again grind out of us the manhood which the great Creator endowed us with to fight our way through the battles of life and uphold ourselves as a part of His creation.
Readjustment of Affairs
The International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, to be held in Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., from the 1st to the 31st of August, will not fail in intelligently arranging for the readjustment of African affairs. We are not going to expect others of other races to disturb themselves in this direction to our good and benefit. It is for us to do everything to advance and protect our own interest. So the appeal goes out not only to the Negroes of America, the West Indies, South and
Central America, but to the Negroes of Africa themselves, to be ready to become a part of the great world sentiment that is now being promulgated toward the end of African redemption.
The World is Cold and Indifferent.
The world is cold, heartless and indifferent. It does not interest itself beyond that which is native to its own surroundings. Thus we will not expect Eaurope to be interested in the salvation of Africa, but for the advance of the Europeans. We shall not expect Asia to be interested in the salvation of Africa, but to the interest of the Asiatics. So we of Africa should, without any scruples, work toward the redemption of our own country, irrespective of what the world thinks. The great battle to exist is fraught with many dangers. Each group, in the great human family, seeks its own course and travels in its own direction. None relies on the advice or patronage of the other, but each seeks to develop under its own auspices, believing more sincerely and earnestly in its own counsel. Do not expect other races to be more interested in us than we are in ourselves, as to counsel us in the direction that would tend to promote and develop this land of ours. We must perforce rely upon ourselves, and thus we advise Africa, scattered, to reassemble itself for Africa united, Africa redeemed. Uniting our moral, intellectual, scientific and physical forces, there is absolutely no reason why in another quarter of a century Africa will not loom up as one of the leading luminaries in the constellation of nations. She once held the foremost place and position. She shall, by the energy and activities of her scattered sons, regain that place, and then stretch out her arms to bless all mankind and justify the existence of our common Father and the eternal human brotherhood.
Work Toward End of Freedom
Let us all work toward this end unceasingly and uncompromisingly. Wheresoever we be, we can contribute our part in moral persuasion, financial contribution, in physical labor and in intellectual leadership. This is the duty of each son and daughter of Africa, and this is the wish of your humble servant.
With best wishes I have the honor to be
Your Obedient Servant,

On Sunday night, May 5, all the faces of this district were turned to the Liberty Hall of the New Hope Division No. 58, when the center of its program was the installation of its officers. The meeting commenced at 7:15 o'clock when the chair opened with hymn "Shine" On Eternal Light." Then came the procession with officers to be installed headed by Mr. A. L. Stewart, President of the Sigurors Division, and Mr. L. Hines, ex-Vice-president of the Calro Division.
The ritualistic part of the service was performed by Mr. Stewart, after which he addressed the officers to be installed. He said this is no joke and a man can never give a time of service, a time to put your best brains, your best effort to the up keep of your division, and the emancipation of your race. Therefore, I am asking, you to be centered before you take the oath that shall put you responsible before God and man.
A. duet by Miss. G. Dixon and brother master. Derick was highly cherished. Installing officers are as follows: Mr. J. Hine, the Bible; Mr. V. Easey, and C. Fletcher, flags, Coats Rican and African; Miss D. Scott, Virgin march, while Mr. J. Hones, No. 2, presented the officers to Mr. A. L.

Sunday, May 5th, Garvey's Day, was celebrated with much enthusiasm by the Sola-Division.
A striking feature of the occasion was the unveiling of a beautiful picture of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. This picture, in a beautiful frame befitting the occasion, is a gift by Miss Constancia Young, a faithful member of this division. Another pleasant thing was the visit of three distinguished officers of the Newvillas Division, namely, Mrs. M. James, Lady president; Mr. K. Cascoe, 2nd vice president; and Mr. B. Scarlett, Major of the U. A. Legions.
The meeting started at 4 P. M., being called to order by Mr. E. A. Wooldridge, general secretary. The captain was safe, and could not attend.
After a short religious service by the act of chapelism, the meeting was turned over to Mr. S. U. Smith the president, who acted as chairman. Mr. Smith welcomed the officers from the Neuvitias Div. and expressed his pleasure along with the entire membership, for the visit. He then spoke on the subject, "The Achievements of the Hon. Marcus Garvey."
The audience sheered loudly as he recalled the many difficulties and impediments that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had overcome through his zeal to liberate his people from the bondage mental slavery. He then proceeded to have the picture unveiled.
As the time came to unveil the picture, two little girls, Miss Natalia Stephens—and Miss Maye—butch stepped forward. After singing one verse of an appropriate hymn, and reciting a short dialogue belitting the occasion, the chairman raised the audience, the guards presented arms.
and everybody sang the Presidential hymn, "God Bless Our President," "God Bless Our President," raised the covering until the audience was exposed. Great was the applause when everything was over and the picture was presented to the gaze of the admiring audience. Two of the Legionnaires then marched with the picture all over the hall where everybody could take a look at it. meanwhile the offering, was lifted. The program then continued. Major Scarlett and Captain Thorpe then turned out the Legions, and along with the officers of the Div. marched around the hall with the picture, after which the officer of the Div. the Library Hall which waswooded for beside the Division's Charter. Directly after the picture was unveiled, M.C. Young, the giver of the picture, was introduced. Great was the applause she received as she stood on the plattform. She kindly responded with a soo.
The chairman then thanked the visitors for their presence and their encouraging words, and promised that he and other officers of his division will return a visit to the Nuevies Div. in the near future. Heuvivis Div. will continue the patience and brought comfort to a close at 8 P. M. with the singing of the ktaopian National Anthem and prayer.
This division is working strenuously to send a representative to the coming convention in Angust, and has hardly taken this medium of collecting the support of the Negroes of the country its esteem.
It is with pleasure that I have to announce that the Guantanamo division is again on the scene. It is a long time that our voices were heard. We were not dead but badly ill. Anyway we again are on our legs, although not strong, and hope to acquire strength to be able to hail the N.Y. Navy. On Sunday night, June 2 we celebrated Garvey's Day with a befitting program, which was as follows:
After the usual ceremonies of the devotional period, the president gave his usual encouraging address, after which a solo was rendered by the lady president; then a recitation by Miss Claris Millhousne, followed by an address by one of our ex-Presidents, Joseph Mathias; next was a solo by Miss C. Brathwaite, then an address by N. Berrick, followed by a solo by Mrs. A. MacLeon, then an address by the Second Vice President, S. Johnson, followed by a solo rendered by Mr. Wallis, then an address by S. Hillhouse, chairman of the trustee board. A rousing solo by Mrs. A. MacLeon marked the closing of the program.
Amidst the gloomy appearance of the evening, we had a very good gathering, and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. The spirit of Garvevism is still in our bodies and we hope to be as strong as we were a few years ago. We trust for a greater revival of spirit, that we may be found among the front rank in the day of reckoning.
Fighting for a free and redeemed Africa.
On Sunday, May 5th, Carvey's day was observed in the Newtuvia, Dr. among a large gathering of members and friends at 8 P. M.

The Sola Division No. 69, U. N. I. A. is now one faithful member less, through the departure of Miss Constance Young, who has left this locality for her home, Jamaica. Miss Young joined this division from August 1925 and has been a faithful and financial member, up to the time of leaving. She also served in the office of assistant treasurer for a good part of that time. We regret to part with Miss Young, and hope that her good work for the cause may be continued. Our loyalty, as long as her life shall last. Through the plentiful rains at present, and the muddiness of the locality, our Spirit meetings are irregular, but our spirits are still undeemed in regards to the noble work of the U. N. I. A.

HELP US TO HELP YOU
THE NEGRO WORLD takes this opportunity of extending its sincere thanks and admiration to the many readers that have sent in letters expressing their appreciation for the general appearance of our paper. Believe us, we are really trying our utmost to make a regular paper of the Negro World. As you know, ours is a propaganda medium published in the interest of the awakened Negro. Our slogan is Africa for the Africans at home and abroad. Although this is our aim, we want to make our paper so, that it may appeal to everybody.
Now in order for us to be able to do this, it will be necessary to have funds at our disposal: Please bear this in mind: that the Negro World belongs to the race. Why? Because it champions their cause. On this account money that would come to us through other channels does not. So it is no more than right that whenever we are in need "Greatly in Need" that we should appeal to you our sincere well-wishers. Therefore, beginning with this week we are launching a:
$50,000.00 Campaign Drive
To raise money for the purpose of producing a more convincing paper. The editorial and business departments are working hand in hand in order to give you what you should have. So please help us by doing all you possibly can. Send in whatever you can afford to help put over this drive. We will publish the names of Divisions, Chapters, or Individuals that contribute in the Negro World each week. Do something and let them read about it. Looking forward to receiving an early response, and thanking you in advance for whatever you may do, we have the honor to be,

Atlanta, Day, No. 633 U. N. P. held a successful mass meeting on Sunday, June 9th, at Liberty Hall 332 Edgewood avenue.
The meeting was opened by singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." Devotional service was conducted by the chaplain, Brd. Wm. Mack.
A program rendered by Mrs. Katie Jones.
The following speakers were on the program. The front page of the Negro World was read by Mrs. Leila Brown. The reading was commented on by ex-president Rev. J. W. Shy. We had some remarks by Mr. Leastie Whitfield. A solo by Mrs. Ruby Barren. We had some inspiring remarks by our vice-president, Mr. W. R. Conner.
The next speaker was Mr. Owens Mahone, who gave us quite a soul stirring address. A liberal collection was lifted. We next listened to some announcements, from our president. Also the general secretary made an appeal urging all members to co-operate with the officers in business meetings; and know about the business activities of the local as well as the mass meetings, etc. A wonderful address was delivered by Rev. P. Dattson Subject. The Cross and Iow Gell. In the second session the remainder reminded his audience that the Hon. Marquis, Garvey came on the scene in 1914 and crossed the custom of the people, even as Jesus Christ crossed the custom of the Jews. He said that when Jesus plucked the cars of corn on the Sabbath day, that was the beginning of the cross he carried to Calvary's Mount. "As the speaker proceeded, he said that Garvey crossed the custom of the people when he began to cry "Africa for the Africans at home and abroad." When Garvey began to wake up the Negroes and set them on to nationhood for Negroes, Garvey and his followers thus shouldered the cross; and we are determined to die on the cross if need be, that our children may be raised in the land and but snakes including Rev. Dattson. The meeting was closed by singing the Ethiopian National Antho-
Much good, is in the tiltage of the fallows, but for others it is gathered without judgment.
"Proverbs, 18: 33rd." In last week's article, "Poverty," I had mentioned that ignorance and fear were co-partners to Poverty; "Ignorance," therefore, is indeed an appropriate subject to write on at this time.
We hear a great deal now a day about the "oplored man should be educated, if he wants to be successful in making, a place for himself in the sun." While there is some truth in these overworked statements, we must not forget that, our forefathers were the educators of the world. And today, we can with safety match our educators with those of any other race, and feel assured in advance of our victory from a conventional education standpoint. No other race or people can boast of having more seemingly educated groups than the Negro race. However, in spite of our fine educational standing, our university and college graduates, we have demonstrated more ignorance than the so-called savages, and the red men, who are labelled incompetence combined. Search the Scriptures and, you shall find that the colored peoples of the earth, were the leading nations. They gave to the world their wealth and knowledge without thought or due consideration for their own. And, we the younger generation, having the opportunities not given our fathers, not to mention the improved methods of transportation and communication, are foolishly going through life with our eyes practically closed. There is no getting away from the truth, Negroes are a living disguise to their Creator. We seem to act as though we do not know that there is really one. Perlaps, we have allowed the curse of Ham to be an excuse for our shortcomings. Get this—and get it right: Casper, one of the "three wise men," gave as a gift to the babe, Christ, the symbol of death "myrrh," which showed that the ever Forgotten Son had redeemed once more his regal prestige among the sons of the Father.
"For thy sustenance showed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked."

THE GREATEST CONCLAVE OF THE NEGRO IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
The sons of Cush, Mazraim, Phut and Canaan, being free, should act like free men and women. This is possible through the awakening of the dormant qualities from within. Your mind must be trained so that you will be able to think constructively. Let us not fatter ourselves because of our intelligence; after all, we have been for centuries fooling ourselves. Some take the Bible to prove their case that we are ordained by God to serve the sons of Shem, and to be servants forever. Others believe that we were made poor, and that it is God's wish that we remain thus. Again, the colored man, though he feels that he is here to work out his own salvation, yet he consciously allows himself to drip through life accomplishing nothing as it were. A man not asleep, but seems to be in a profound sleep, while his uncles' sons are enjoying all good things, happiness and peace.

(1) The Political and Social Freedom of the entire Negro Race.
(2) The presentation of proper evidence before the League of Nations for an adjustment of the International Rare Problem.
(3) The creating of a thorough educational system for the higher education of the Negroes of America, the West Indies, and Africa, resulting on the founding of three Negro universities of a purely technical character—one in America, one in the West Indies, and one in Africa.

(11) The establishing of a universal social code for the Negro race.
Now then, if one knowingly antispersely does a thing which is to their own shame and disgrace, and others considered more intelligent do likewise, is it not enough for you to call such people either lunatics or simply ignorance personified? The thing is, not what you believe, rather that which you do. No one is willing to have as a companion, a person who is not only weak, but shows his weakness. It is indeed bad to be weak, and it is dangerous to be strong, and to play weak.

the writer when he says, "that when this colored race is conscious of the fact, that it is still the greatest race on earth, its numbers would stop decaying themselves and begin to act like intelligent human beings." However, the joke is we like to be anything but ourselves, and when others treat us as we ought to be treated, we are sure to kick. You cannot play the part of the baggar on the stage of life and expect to be given the homage of a king. Read your Bible as you should, and you shall understand that if the youthful white race has accomplished much, it is possible for us to do likewise. Of course, to do so we will have to abolish ignorance of things material and spiritual, and to insure ourselves of understanding and wisdom. We are badly in need of these two qualifying pillars of Solomon's temple.
You cannot deny the fact, that the colored race may be compared with the man who was considered by his friends to be a man among men. And whenever they noticed that he was not, living up to his standard, they would reprimand him; but, he would always reply thus: "Say fellows. I know that I am a good man, however, you fail to remember that I have a wife and five children to support, and cannot afford to waste a day to try to put over a big proposition." No matter what his friends did say, or to help him to see his real worth, he would repeat the same formula. Well, one day the gods had their way, and Father Neptune took his wife and the five children while they were crossing a river on a ferryboat. Poor fellow, he took too strong drink, no doubt, in an effort to forget his loss. And whenever his friends tried to inspire him to be his old self, he would say, "Have a heart, boys, have a heart! It is different now; I have no one to care for, my wife and children, are dead, and I do not see any reason of my going after big propositions now."
It is safe to say that once we make up our minds to play the game according to the rules, it would be a matter of only years when we shall have our rightful share of the world's goods. There is no reason why we should not open our eyes and free ourselves from our personal devil—ignorance. We are sold on the thought that we are still the great people our fathers once were. We will step out like men and do our women and children a real manly turn. We cannot afford to allow others to tell us that we are inherently ignorant of our real worth in the scheme of things. We have had enough of this "you must be educated first" stuff. We are after all, men of action, not babies; empire builders, not rainbow trailers. With God's love and the spirit which fainteth not as guides, we shall keep on the upward march until we shall have entered our father's house of many mansions being worthy sparks from the Divine Plame.
CRICKET
Gleaners C. C. in Glorious Defeat
"Twan Last Over . . . Last Ball
VAN CORTLANDT PARK, June 22. We have witnessed interesting cricket-matcher games which have been recorded in cricket history; but, few indeed have surpassed the great dream that unfolded itself on the green sward of the park this afternoon.
Gleaners was a team whose mere mention, in times gone by, instilled fear in the breasts of opponents. Even the mighty West Indian C. C. of a past era, respected the youthful ensemble that performed in the silk of gallant Gleaners C. C.
At this time, such stars as A. Gittens, Ben Wells, G. Springer, K. Spencer, A. and L. Lewis, O. Dear, P. and B. Brathwaite, were playing at the top of their form.
The leading clubs of New York and vicinity bowed their proud heads in token of defeat, when they met the champion Gleaners aggregation. This club possessed plenty of light, adhesiveness, unity of spirit, that made it a joy to play for.
But, we do not have to say: "Turn back. O time. in thy flight." Intermittently a few of the stars return. Once a Gleaner . . . always a Gleaner. That is their attitude. The men may give their services to other clubs, but they return; eventually; if not to stay, in an effort to uphold the tradition of their loved Gleaners C. C.
Today, well remembered faces took their respective places in the Gleaners line up. Antigua C. G. came the opponent. Gus Springer, the club's Century bat, D. Bennet, the old master, and A. and D. Lewis were a few of the old timers present. They put up a mighty defense, but bad handling of the acting captain robbed the team of a well-earned victory. Antigua was permitted to run up a score of 168 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Something unheard of in Gleaners past. Errors on the part

of a few of the fielders had a lot to do with the final reckoning. Gleaners gave them a terrific fight just the same.
A. Lewis, "Kid" and G. Springer, put up a stand that will be talked about an long as Gleaners survive. Their scores were 32 and 40 respectively. D. Bennet, batting, as if he was defending in a cup match for All-Jamaica, played a wonderful inning, though unaccompanied, by a strained leg. What he did was a caution. The old master turned in 38 to his credit. It was the last ball . . . of the last over. Trying to get away from a rising ball, Murray, the last batsman at the wicket inadvertently got caught, when the sphere ricoched off the bat Bandle. Twain a quarter of eight. Tittle should have been called; but, to the victor . . . the spoils." Gleaners was beaten by fourteen runs.

Iving Cooper made an effort to the effect that his inaugural skool, "Bambodia," will open at the Royal Theatre on Wednesday evening, June 26. The company has been augmented to seventy seats and the bank under the direction of Lieut. J. Tim Brynn, will number fifteen. Included in the cast are Isabell Washington, Brevard Burke, "Dusty" Fletcher, John Mason, Billy Corte, Monte Hawley, Hilda Perlstein, Winters & Marano, Revella Hughes, Billy Andrews, George Randol, the McClain Twins and "Derby." Sam Rose is staging the numbers. New comedy sketches have been installed since the Brooklyn engagement and a travesty on "Harlem," which played this season, has been whipped into shape and will contribute part of the action of the second act.
Irving Cooper announces that he has engaged Cecil Mack's ensemble of Southland Singers to fit in with the "Bomboola" company, opening at the Royale Theatre, Wednesday, June 26th.
Jules Bledsoe
has been signed to sing spirituals in Zeigfeld's "Show Girl." Ralph Cooper and Company is at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C. The PORGY PLAYERS are due in town soon, having had a poor run in death ole Lunnon.

This production is going over big down "Main Street." Having a poor opening up in the Bronx, the entire vehicle was strengthened before making its debut downtown.
According to the reviews of the white press it seems as if it is on the boards to stay. Will review this show in the near future. Watch out for it.

The Lincoln Theatre has closed for some weeks. The gifted Ida Anderson is now disengaged. She will no doubt secure an engagement shortly at one of the other houses.

Shoy, Montserrat's ace, having scored 100 runs not-out against the weak Warwick C. C. the previous Sunday, returned to the wars unaffected. 85 was his total today, not-out.
F. Yearwood and R. Solomon were the other high scorers. Their addition was 45 and 35 respectively.
Park Cricket has no attraction for the members of the West Indian C. They are in the Cosmopolitan League whose grounds are in Van Cortlandt Park. W. I.'s men refuse to show up. If they do, no effort is made to prepare the grounds.
W. I. is the professed champion; place them on enclosed grounds and they are second to none. Up in the park . . . they are not keen about playing. That is the reason they seldom, nowadays, win the League trophy.

Inspirados con la esperanza de que una gran comunidad africana resurgiría para orgulló de nuestras generaciones futuras. Cada miembro de la raza tiene un sitio reservado en nuestra organización. Su programa abarca todas las fases de las actividades humanas. Su propósito debe permanecer estampado en nuestras mentes luchando incantemente por su realización.
En la jordana por el árduo sendero de la vida, aparece ante nosotros la visión de una nueva era como resultado de los esfuerzos de un pueblo nuevo. El volver la vista hacia el surgimiento de America, elevándose al puesto que ocupa entre los pueblos y naciones del mundo, nos inspira con confianza y esperanza—lo que actualmente se considera un sueno irrealizable—el que en dia no lejano una gran comunidad africana resurgirá a la palestra de los pueblos y naciones, para gran orgullo y mayor satisfacción de nuestras futuras generaciones.
Apesar de ser un hecho veridico el que en distintas ocasiones nuestro elemento ha aportado con su óbolo al engrandecimiento y gloria de esta nación, sus ciudadanos blancos no consideran esta contribución como un título al derecho que se reclama bajo su Constitucion. Ellos, sin que nos quede la menor duda, han demostrado una y otra vez que es un país exclusivamente para blancos, descubierto y desarrollado por ellos y para beneficio de sus generaciones. Afrontando esta actitud y con una fuerza preopotente en contra nuestra presentimos la derrota. Por tal razon la Asociación Universal para el Avelanto de la Raza Negra patrocina el programa de una nación propia para nuestro pueblo.
Cuando contemplamos las maravillas de esta civilización occidental, creda por medio del genio y perseverancia del hombre blanco, ello nos lleva al convencimiento de que ese mismo hecho histórico puede repetirse en cualquier otro punto por cualquier otro pueblo o raza. El panorama de un Nueva York, Filadelfia, Pittsburg, Chicago, San Luis, Los Angeles y San Francisco es una inspiración para que nuestro pueblo selífido de igual modo ciudades en una comunidad africana.
En la persecusión de un objetivo tal tenemos que llevar a cabo una gran labor, siendo imprecindible la cooperación de todos y cada uno de los elementos de nuestra raza, para quienes nuestra organización tiene siempre sitio. Nuestro programa abarca todas las esferas de las actividades humanas y por ello hacemos una apelación comun a los cuatrocien millones de miembros de la raza; con el objeto de que se adheran a nuestras filas y bajo un mismo estandarte defender una causa mas que justificada. Con la unión en un propósito podemos marchar hacia adelante haciendo una buena impresión ante un mundo que nos observy y adquiriendo un sitio apropiado en el escenario de las realizaciones humanas.
Los que patrocinamos este movimiento de progreso para con nuestra raza estamos llenos de esperanzas, satisfiechos de vivir en esta era de cambios y de adelanros. Mientras hombres de otras razas se esfuerzan en la promoción de aquellos cambios necesarios en pro de su intereses, nosotros estamos también determinados a hacer aquellos cambios que nos eleven al standard del progreso humano.
No es de esperarse el que llevemos a la realización todo lo que anhelamos sin antes afrontar gran resistencia a oposición. Los grandes propósitos han sido siempre realizados por medio del valor y determinación de las partes interesadas. El progreso de otros pueblos adquirido por el ingenio organizado es un ejemplo que nos alienta en nuestra lucha por llegar a la meta de nuestras aspiraciones. Nuestro objetivo debe permanecer estampado en nuestras mentes y debemos luchar incesantemente por su realización.
Nuestra organización abriga la esperanza de un renacimiento en nuestra raza, que la incluya como pueblo progresista en el gran concierto de los demas pueblos, legando a sus hijos, a las generaciones venideras la gloria y el honor. a que son creedores los elemento.mas capaces de la especie humana.

Peto por este vez el mal genio sera vencido, por la inteligencia de los pueblos gracias a las leyes divinas-que la naturalezela le brinda a diario, para su bienestar y mejoramiento y al mismo tiempo para su defensa.
Las hecatombes que han horrorizado a la humanidad en los campos de batalla, podria seguir horrorizando si se le permitiera al "mal genio" lleyar la guerra adelante, incluyendo ya todo sin excepción -sera el ultimo dia del "mal genio" -los pueblos de la tierra, mujeres, hombres y niños, sin privilegios ni selecciones se por el instinto de conservación, se uniran, sin prejuicios de creados ni de razones y vendrá la "revolución universal" contra los gobiernos, o sean los genios mayos y contra la hida del militarismo que son sus instrumentos; en mano inteligente de la clase proletaria del mundo que ya la esta labrando con cincel de acero, y en aquella revolución, peloibles serán los gobiernos; porque el "imperialismo" y el egoismo de una unidad o grupo no podrá substituir, buscando un poderio y una felicidad, a expensas de un materialismo bruto y de exceso esclavizando a la humanidad, los pueblos sajones, plasmos casi en su mayoria en esta forma de espíritu, desde hace siglos, al fin parece que han llegado a acomprender, que la felicidad humana es un privilegio espiritual que se forma y se depura con la cultura y en la ciencia el respeto, muy distante al culto de las fuerzas brutas momentaneas moldeadas en un exceso de material que altera el orden de las oposas, y toda alteración es una violación de principios divinos de la naturalza y que fuerzas inhumanas y no pulimentadas, la traducción en odio, egoismo, y guerras al final, en vez de paz y fraternidad humana.
El nacimiento del partido laborista en Inglaterra, quiere decir muchas cosas/para el mundo en el futuro y también mucha cautela para los gobiernos y para el militarismo de todos los pueblos del mundo, el exito de la acaba de desviarlos hacia una nueva traecordia; forzando a todos los clientes para un rendimiento positivo y de beneficio humano, ella quiere decir, que las divisiones sociales del mundo en vasta lucha, estan creando un nuevo campo para una nueva sociedad humana de estrecha-miento.
Las generaciones venideras, verán los monumentos de helores militares y politicos, con irrison sarcística, que hebenecieron sino parcialidades, pero que no fueron helores de la humanidad, los niños los tendrán como elementos chistosos o cuentos de cuecos, vendran los heroes de la ciencia, que vivirian emplazados eternamente en la mentalidad humana, y sus nombres encebazarán las instituciones científicas y los refugios donde encuentra paz la humanidad enferma.
Se esta industrializando al mundo cada vez más por el método de ciencia, que la naturaleza divina comunica a la humana, los dos contribuyen a la regeneración de un nuevo espiritu, de una nueva psicología humana, ella esbozará una nueva religión, en ella se esborazará un nuevo mundo y cuando ya reformado un poco ganando el-plano superior a todo lo creado, entonces las leyes divinas quizá permitirn entrar al hombre en contacto, con otras cosas que estan ya más sobre el orden de la tierra, fuera de su orbita y por la lucha de la ciencia habren ganado la gracia divina y ella nos habrá acercado un poco y después de la primera existencia material nos habrá unido a Dios. — A. Rojas Zevallos en Lú Frensu, N. Y.
Nueva.York y Chicago son las únicas ciudades. estadounidenses con más habitantes que Filadelfia, la "del amor fraternal", urbe con más de dos millones de habitantes, que estena la a la par que los rascicielos de ordenamiento, un dantesco organo industrial, "royne" caffones son milhares de chihuahuas que enten nocha y dia sin permeación de humo y oolín. A origen, la bacha y el tio Dantel siyen de fondo al palazzo comercio-industrial; al oeste gr. ve el estilizado
Schepliell con el Parque Palmeras sobre sus migrantes.
La febril actividad industrial de Filadelfia ha expresión en la imágenes producida de sombras, tejidos, cigarros, obras de hierro, locomotores y transportes marinos. Pero, aparte de rasca cielos, fabrica y mercados, Filadelfia tiene cosas que la hacen distinta del resto de las grandes uses de Norte América, características que la redimienta del pedaco de monotonia de que adolecen muchas -de las ciudades americanas- Ahi está, por ejemplo, el famoso "Salón de la Independencia," donde se firme el acta de separación de Inglaterra, con la "Campana de la Libertad" que anungio-al-mundo el surgimiento de una nueva nación, recinto donde más tarde se firmara la Constitución que aun hoy es estatuto sumo del país.
Los fundadores de Filadelfa pertenecian a la secta de los 'Amigos' o "Cuáqueros", grupo religioso que apareció en Inglaterra en el siglo 17. El cuaquero proclanaba infáctamente las virtudes cristianas de la mansedumbre y la ami-tad. Y el cuaquero ortodoxo era ultra-pacifica, se negaba rotundamente, a empunir las armas, arguendo que el matar era anti-cristiano. Hoy dia, la secta, figura entre las mutas del mundo protestante pero sus dogmas y principios han sufrido modificaciones más o menos. fundamentales. El actual presidente señor Herbert Hoover, pertenece a esta confesión y concurre a la iglesia cuáquera de Washington.
raíz de la aparición del movimiento cuquero, sus doctrinas atrajeron la atencion de un acuadalado joven ingles, de nombre Guillermo Penn, quien abandonó la iglesia ortodoxa de Inglaterra y se convirtió a la nueva doctrina. Entre los principios fundamentales de figura la de que el mal hacer juramento alguno. También, los cuqueros se negaban a quitarse el sombrero delante de los grandes, tildando la usanza de vana. Como resultado de sus extratas ideas, los nuevos sectarios, fueron perseguidos. Ei mismo Penn, a pesar de su influencia en la corte, fue reducido varias veces a prision. Y puesto que la Inglaterra de Carlos II mostraba intolerante con los disidentes religiosos, Penn concibió la idea de fundar, en el Nuevo Dumbo, una colonia que sirviese de refugio a los perseguidos por causas de concencia Penn tacil fácil acceso a la presencia real. Carlos II nunca pudo hacerlo que se quitar el sombrero, el rey se descubrió ante el cháquero y que este le replicó "cubrios, majestad". Carlos le hizo ver que el protocolo prescriba que donde estaba el rey no más una persona de deberia permanece cubierta. Tor fin, el rey le concié a Penn a porción de tierra en la costa oriental de la América Inglesa en pago de una deuda que la corona tenia con el padre de este. La carta-patente marcaba los limites de las colonia de norte asurire la costa del Atlántico y hacía el oeste en "cimino de tres días". A efecto deocular la mayor cantidad posible de tierra, los colonos se consideraban los mejores andarines del dia, los que avanzaron mucho hacia el oeste, hasta los limitos actuales del estado de Pennsylvania (Selva de Penn), que recibió al nombre del rey en honor de la familia de Guillermo.
En 1682, Penn trazó personalmente, en lo que era cela virgen, lo que es hoy la ciudad de Filadelfia. Fué este cuajero máximo el primero en trazar una ciudad estadounidense en la forma rectangular, con calles anchas y derechas. Poco después, unos colonos sucres se estabilieron cerea del campo,mente cuajero, y con el tiempo la colonia se conjetó en barrio de la "Ciudad del amor fraternal" (Filadelfia), nombre que Penn dio a la pucha.
Victima de la juntolerancia religiosa de Inglaterra, Penn, al instrucceur en solar americano, lo primero, que hizo fué estatuar la absoluta libertad religiosa en su colonia. Los primeros colonos en colonias amebros de la sexta, ingleses y elemanes. Los alemanes se congruen en un lugar que llamaron "Germantown (Villa Alemana), que es el barrio 22 de la moderna Filadela. Los alemanes constituyen hoy dia porción muy prominente de la poliagión del estado de Pennsylvania.

Harriet went on mass to Queen bore Stadium last Tuesday evening. Businessman, a maid and mailed him, all could be seen gathered in all sections of the stadium.
Every train that pulled up in Queens between the hours of six and nine p.m. discharged a load of human cargo, from Harlem and other points west of Long Island. I have been in lots of amusement crowds, but out of all mobs, me, go, please give me the fight mob. There is no question of color with the gang in a fight arena, around these parts. The meet congenial and sociable bunch you want to meet are fight bugs. "Hello, buddy! Give us a match, will you?" Another, Say what do you think the box-onight. The fellow behind you: "Baby boy that I saw you in the corner. Gee, a fellow in the north-east corner knows his mitts." Now a wise cracker mutes in. "I'll bet anybody five to twenty-five that Chocolate takes this guy Roth in the first." A picker-up, "What was that, five to twenty-five?" "That's what I said." "Say, here's a klute. Take the air, will you."
I could go on and on. Of course, all during this confab, the surroundings are full of ha! ha! ha! That's a hot one, and say, you're a wise bird." "I'll bet you've been hanging around fight clubs a long-time!" Another one injects: "Yes, I bet he has alright—one night, and that's hours too long." "Better go home. Mama spank."
Well, the arena is filling up. Only a few sections vacant. Lots of ladies out. Let's get going. It is 5:15 p.m. Here they come. They are off, boys. What corner do you like to night? Well, I think the south-west corner will be the lucky one to night." "You know, fellows, if there is any one thing I can do at a fight, it is to pick the winning corrier," said a wise man from the east side; and would you believe that every one that sat in this joker's corner lost."
I've been sitting in on nights a long time, and this was the first time to my mind that I ever saw one corner lose all through. I am glad he did not pick the other one.
Well, the two first bouts are over. Now Harlem slam up to take notice as the first two bouts were white boys; but now we were to have what everybody went out to see. "Say, what's the hold-up? Why don't they come out? asked an impatient customer. It seems as if they wanted to put the main bout on as they generally do before the semi-final. But it seemed as though Brown did not want it that way, because Gregorio was out about fifteen or twenty minutes before him.
At last they get going. Brown used a left jab that was just too sweet. I have never seen Brown in better form. He sure is of championship timber. Gregario was just another pass-over for him. Most everybody wanted to see the winner win by a knockout. This almost happened in the thirteenth round: In this center Brown sent his opponent down three times, once for the count of eight. I personally think that Brown could have taken him in this round if he wanted to because after the third knock down. At stayed off and allowed Gregario to clear his head. Well, here's the fifteenth and last round. Brown is just go fresh as he started, dancing all around the white boy and stinging him with that left. The fight is over. Brown is declared the winner by a long margin as he winten thirteen of the fifteen rounds easily. Everybody is satisfied with the decision. Only a few rock heads to register disfavor.
They are now clearing the decks for the Kid to do his stuff. And did he do it? Well, that is history by now. Although this boy Roth was panned by the majority of daily sports writers, I want to say he was the gambest and most determined opponent Chocolate has not. So far I saw the Chocolate-Graham and Chocolate-La Barba games. These two white boys might have been more scientific and all that, but this boy Roth tore in after the Kid like it was nobody's business. He had Chocolate in trouble and so distressed once that it looked as if this nobody, an unknown, would do what all others failed to do. But this only proved to be a good intention, as the Kid got down to business, and tore his man to pieces. So much so that the bout was stopped in the third round by

We are sure going to get plenty of action this summer, now that A.A. Brown is champion of the Basketball weights; and KD Chocolate is making the boys in the fatherweight division set up and take notice.
I must say these two boys pitted against. good opposition will fill any park. I thought McFaham is the wise man I thought he was. Look what he has gone and done. Here's what has plenty of "TT." Say so, say so!
Say, fellows, I just hate to spill it, but I cannot keep this one from you because if I did, you would fall out. Hold everything because I am going to splash—the date will be July, 10th, the place will be Ebbets Field. Now for the low-down. Silence, not a word, while I percolate. Al. Brown will defend his crown against some good opponent. It may be Archie Bell of Brooklyn. Bell has been, going very good here of late and should make it quite interesting. I hope that Al will turn out to be a real knockout Brown. I was inclined to tag him this way some years ago when he was fighting regularly at the Olympic Club in Harlem. It was nothing new for Al to send over that deadly right and the fortunate one it would fall on did not have to wait for a bed time story to go to sleep. They was the good old days.
Say Al, come on give us some more of the old-time religion. We surely liked you that way. You have developed a wonderful left lab. It is worth a cold million bucks for you; but say the mover never liked a champion that depended on points to win a fight. Please do not take any leaves from Tunney's book, because his was a sad story. You are not forced to carry any one now. When you step in the ring, make it a point of business to finish the job as soon as possible.
Kid Chocolate, who fight Ignacio Fernández in the semi-final is the right type of fighter. When he goes in there, he steps in to go to work and puts everything in his work. If he can knock his man out in the first round, he hangs out his goodnight sign, and packs up for home. Ah, what a man! He is a good example for any fighter who intends to get anywhere in the beak busting game.

THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION must begin by stocking which is our duty. Let us stock in the past and see that what others have done, we can do.
Let us stop talking, and do now, as now is the most important time. Let us do something without the request of our Hon. Leader, Marcus Harvey. Let us finance him so strong that he will be more enemies more forcibly. "Now," is a volunteering time. Let us show the world, that we have, the spirit that the English had. Yes, the same spirit that enabled England to be mistress of the seas. Now, let every soldier come to attention in the person of $1.00 as special guarantee and show the enemies that they cannot win. As we know the enemy is lurking; but, every member rushing one step forward, we have to stop and form other plans, and at that very moment, Marcus Harvey, will climb over at the top and Africa will be free.

Negroes Are Becoming More "Africa Minded"
BORO, Negro Words:
Far reaching changes are taking place in the minds of the Negro peoples everywhere that will surely mean much for the future. Negroes in walk of life, and beginning to study their condition, and notable comparisons. The result of this analysis reveals to him many facts of vital importance, and whets his desire for further investigations.
The U. N. I. A. has led the way in this great racial awakening; and it is the purpose and intent of its leaders to so continue until Ethiopia has been resurrected. The so-called inferiority complex was the result of a partial mental hypnotism, brought about by the doctrine of white psychology. But thanks to the counteracting influence of Garveyism, we are today seeing things as they are, rather than as others would have us see them. Marcus Garvey has lifted the veil.
Self improvement must come from within, and it is encouraging to see that Negroes are grasping this lesson and applying the corrective measures, necessary. The New Negro understands and is determined to have a government to protect his social, economic, and political interests, rarely with little liberty and freedom, are his insatiable rights, and that no true happiness can exist without them. A free and redeemed Africa means liberty for one and all; therefore we are proclaiming a new declaration: "Give Us Africa and Liberty, or Give Us Death!" ARTHUR S. GRAY. Los Angeles, Calif.
To the Editor:
The American public is continually told by members and benefactors of occupation that only a few discontented individuals, but the following, does not justify their assertions.
Some months ago a news dispatch from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, informed the American public that three Haitian newspaper editors had been jailed, as it was about the 40th time some editor was grown in little comment was made.
These men were arrested and are on trial for having printed articles against the Roman Catholic clergy, and the occupation of their country by J. S. marines.
A few weeks later, their case was called in court but adjourned after the editor, Jacques Roumain, answered to a hostile district attorney that brought forth applause from the audience.

Associations and American newspapers, especially those that match at every little occasion to present the Haitian people as Voodiata even Canisistata, will join with us in protecting against the methods employed by the forces of the U. S. In Haiti at the time when President Hoover is calling for respect of the constitution and observance of law in this country, the case of the newspaper Petit Impartial, was called this morning. The palace of Justice and its surroundings approximately to that of the Five Ministerial Departments, in fact all the square of Place Haitian and the palace which is the seat of the government, one of which also guarded by American officers, and Haitian gendarmes. Nobody can enter without a card issued by the Police Department, even several lawyers were refused admittance. Lawyers Dulzy corroborates this in the next issue by letter, part of which reads as follows: "The fact that I was one of the lawyers of the accused; did not suspend the password. I thought that such an order could not concern the Bar. The American captain to whom I made, the observation answered, that the order carried no restrictions. It is only upon intervention of the President, of the Bar, that entered and asked with lawyer Victor Vuitton that an act be made of the, vexatious employees employed against the Bar Association, first time since the institution of our courts. In the court a sinister atmosphere, that of the sittings where Fouquier Elnville sent the accused to the Guillotine, that of the expeditif Justice of Martial Law.
On this line, Lawyer L. Raymond remarks that the audience is not a public one as required by article 135 of the Penal Code, and article 96 of the Constitution which will nullify the trial. Despite the evidence, the district attorney maintains that the articles of the Penal Code and of the constitution have not been violated, and decides Judge Bahren who manages in a tragic part. Lawyers Dulzyar, Cauvain remark that "even lawyer lawyers have been refused entrance to the tribunal". The district attorney declares and judge declares that the lawyers are in wrong for arriving late. verdict is postponed for another sitting of the court.
At this moment, although the court was filled with government employees about 20 persons want to shake hands with lawyers Chatelain and the accused. This impatient lieutenant Rolin Roe from accepting his sister. The former pusher off, a fight ensues between them, during which the Director of the Petit Impartial is wounded in the head with a black-jack.
We believe that the American people are still lovers of justice and fair play, therefore place this issue before them so that they may dispense of it as they see fit. Thanking you for your co-operation, I beg to remain.

Once a Poor Farm Boy—Now A Singer Before the World
Not so very many years ago, Re. Land Hayes was doing the chores on the small Georgia farm of his mother, an ex-slave.
He managed to put himself through school and college while helping to support his family.
Encouraged by friends to develop his voice, he struggled for years to train it and to gain recognition, meanwhile taking every sort of job to make ends meet.
He scraped together enough money to go abroad and give a recital in London, with this step his fame waned definitely made. He became the talk of London, and then of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin.
Each capital marveled at this young singer, so modest and quiet-mannered, yet so utterly master of his voice, of their own language and style in song.
At that time only certain American cities had heard him. When he re-crossed the Atlantic, he soon held the attention of America at large to a degree never before won by an American-born musician.
Roland Hayes is a Negro. What he has 'done others can do. Do not give up hope because you are a Negro. If you can do a thing better than any one else—the world will honor you, if you have the courage and determination to forge ahead.

According to advice received from Haiti the American people, who reside in a few days one of the most undeveloped attempts for the nation to embrace of self in prison and the continued establishment of a people, when Mr. Borne the Illegal President of Haiti got to Washington is order to forgefall the withdrawal of the U. S. Military Occupation from this sister Republic, a return to constitutional government and thus assure his re-election for a third time.
For this purpose he was voted on the 17th of May the sum of $6,300 for purposes by his 21 Counselors of State, a group so called to fool the Americans as a disgrace, regarded by most Haitians as a disgrace, body since it is composed of the nominees of Mr. Borneo and not chosen generally from the best elements of Haitian life.
Gagged by a law, rebidding public subscriptions, the Union Patriotique d'Haiti cannot as it delegates to the state to protest against this plot, the Union, in response to appeal to the Press, to superses liberty for help, by protesting and giving merciless publicity to these sinister planers.
