The African Times and Orient Re-
view, which Is an outgrowth Of the

In London In 1911. Is a monthly jour
nal devoted to the colored races Of the
world. 1t Is a thirty five page maga-
zine, edited with great ability. Duse
Mohamed, a Negro born In Egypt and
educated In England. Is it's editor.
The Review is to be the mouthpiece
Of the dark and colored races through
out the world. In the foreword 1t
says, I'VE feel that for lack Of under
standing the African and oriental have
produced nonappreciatlon, and nonap-
probation has unleashed the hydra
headed monster Of derlsion. contempt
and repression"
Laudable ambitions have but to be
voiced to be appreciated, and that
touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin has only to be
brought into operation to establish that
bond of universal brotherhood among
white, yellow, brown and black.
In Word to Our Brothers" 1t says:
"As for you. the black race, the brown
race and the yellow race, this Is your
own journal. The more humble you
are the more need you have Of us and
the more readily shall we extend our
sympathy and advice. We want to

for a space, 1t must also overtake Eu-
rope. The future Of Africa. the future
Of India, will not be decided in the
chanceries Of Europe, but upon the
hills Of India and the plains of Africa.
"See that your loins are well girded
and that you have your staff firmly In
your hand when you once more take
your place in the SUM-" The Review Is
a decided revelation editorially and ty-
geographically, while Its contributed ar
ticles are Of highly meritorious char
acter 1t is to be hoped that American
Negroes who want to know what Is
taking place in the darker world and
wat progress their race Is making
will subscribe to this excellent maya
zine.
The significance Of the Review need
not be stated. 1t must be apparent
that the necessity which called It into
being is vital to the interests Of those
whose spokesman 1t Is and that the
darker races are beginning to rouse
from their lethargy and to draw nearer
to one another.

lnant note expressed was the belief
that victory would come to the new
party in the November elections. Ray.
mond Robins of Illinois pledged a
100000 majority for the national ticket
in Illinois and Clifford Pinchot predict
ed 100000 majority for Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson in
his home state, Pennsylvania.
These statements were cheered to
the echo.
The party formally cnristened itself
the Progressive party, leaving out the
prefix national" by which hereto
fore it has been known, but provision
was made for the recognition Of real"
Progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because of state laws.
NOT A SINGLE ROLL CALL
OR BALLOT WAS TAKEN
The convention adjourned with the
delegates singing the ooxology in
lusty voices. During the three days
1t was in session there was not sim
gle roll call nor ballot taken. The
delegates asked no such formalities,
either in placing their candidates in
nomination or in voting for them.
There was no voice of opposition
either to Colonel Roosevelt or Gov
ernor johnson. The delay in nomi-
mating them was due to the large
number of seconding speeches.
AS has always been the case In ma
tional political conventions the bulk
of the work was carried on in the
committees.
The only semblance Of a conflict
Of opinion on the floor was brief
debate as to whether or not an hours
recess should be taken. The point
was not material, but, as one dele
gate expressed 1t, I'VE Just had to
fight about something to make 1t
regular convention"
There was sharp discussion, how
ever, In several of the committee
meetings and no little difficulty in
agreeing upon the platform as finally
adopted. Colonel Roosevelt worked
with the subcommittee in charge of
the platform, going over their work
OF the two previous days and nights
and vigorously helping to mold the
draft which at last proved acceptable
to him. The platform did not take up
the negro question.

FIRST SERVICES WITH
THE NEW MINISTER

Sunday was the first day of the min
istry of the new minister, r. r. Ham,
lin, of the Christian church. About
800 were in attendance at the Bible
school, in spite of the constant rain
which poured down before the Sunday
school hour and during the same. The
attendance would have been at least
700 had the day been auspicious.
The audience in the morning crowd.
ed the Main auditorium to hear the
newminister's first sermon. He took
for his subject, "Holding up Minister'S
Hands, and used the illustration of
Aaron and Hur holding up Moses
hands as basis for the sermon. Some
valuable lessons and admonitions were
drawn and applied to the relation of
the church to the preacher, etc. He
complimented very highly the COM
plete equipment the church had erect
ed here and said with cooperation be-
tween minister and people the church
would grow and be blest beyond that
that could be thought.
AT the evening service, in spite of
the threatened rain, the auditorium
was crowded with chairs in the aisles
and the galleries we'll filled. The sub
ject at night was upon some examples
of Christ. The examples of early Bible
study, baptism, withstanding tempta-
ton, forgiveness, etc, were dwelt upon.
The sermon was listened to with rapt
attention and made profound impress
sion upon the bearers. Mr., Hamlin is
speaker Of marked ability, and the
church and city should be congratulate
ed upon his coming to our city.

WAS WHAT
BAND PLAYED
As TITANIC WENT DOWN
Heroism by Boats Musicians Equal
to That Shown by Any Who
Went Down IN Atlantic.

The eight musicians who went down
in the Titanic and who were playing
"Nearer, My God, to Thee, when ali
the boats had gone, were under the
leadership of Bandmaster Wallace
Hartley, of Dewsbury, Eng, who was
transferred from the Mauretania to
take up his duties on the biggest steam
er of the White Star Line, and who,
incidentally, was soon to have married
a young Englishwoman. Under Hart
ley's direction were John Hume, vio-
lnist; Herbert Taylor, pianist; Fred
Clark, bass viol; George Woodward,
'cellist, and Messrs. Bailey, Krins and
Breicoux, who played when the others
were off duty.
On the Celtic, which docked in New
York last Saturday, were John S. Carr
and Louis Cross, cellist and bass vioi
of the orchestra of that steamship.
When they got shore leave they told a
representative of the New York Sun
something about the men on the Titan
ic, with whom they had made voyages.
They also were acquainted with the
conditions under which the men lived
on the Titanic, and gave graphic
idea of the manner in which they must
have responded when the call of duty
came.
"Some were already in bed and some
were probably smoking when the ship
hit the iceberg" said Carr. "The I'll
tanic had special lounging and smok-
ing room, with the sleeping rooms op-
ening off it, 1t was so late that they
all must have been there when the
first shock came. Bandnaster Hartley

how dangerous the situation was he
