London, March 23-(AssOciated

ism was made by Prime Minister
Lloyd George In q speech at a
luncheon today to "the new men,
bers OF the coalition group" as the
participants In the luncheon party
wsre styled.
1.-THE military dangers which
united the parties has disappeared"

rly Socialism. 1t is tearing the
parties to pieces on its way tt
tearing society to pieces. Those
who are inclined to agree with Mr.
Asquith and Lord Bentinck that
the Labor party is a bogy should
read the Socialist and Labor papers
for a week.

Cites Elections.
Those Etill inclined to regart
the Labor party as 'bogy' should
look Ut the bye-elections Of 1922
and 1871. The addition Of four pc,
cent would put the Socialists int
the majority and there Is a margin
Of IL to 20 per cent who do no

! Suppose that by the working NJ
~ grievances the coalition was de
feated and the Socialists won
majority. They would not seek T.
remove those grievances. but woul'
rip out the whole system o

The prime minister asked thos
Who realised the danger, to clos
their ranks.
They must take all possible steps
he said, to instruct the elector
Who must nj no distant date decid'

NORFOLK WILL TEACH HEALTH
TO NEGROES, APPROPRI-
ATES $4,000.

Norfolk, Va, March 24-The city of
Norfolk, will spend $4,000 this year in
campaign for cleanliness, health and
thrift among Negro residents of the
city.
Council, in regular weekly session
voted favorably on the first reading
of an ordinance appropriating that
amount at the recommendation of the
city manager and DIR. Powhatan S.
Schenck, health officer and director
of public safety
The money, according to plans out
lined by the city manager, will be
spent in community service, but not
in the sort of community service the
city has attempted in the past
The prime purpose of the campaign
will be to show. Negroes how they
can improve their health conditions
and cut down the death rate among
members of their race.
letter directed to the council by
Dr. Schenck, through the city mana
ger, shows that in Norfolk the death
rate among Negroes has been consid-
erably higher than among the whites.
The Negro death rate was twenty
per thousand per annum among the
Negroes last year as against S.5
Lack of proper education in hy-
giene, the care of sick, the care of in
fants and the treatment of minor in
fant diseases is given by DR.. Schenck
as the prime reasons FOR the compar-
atively high death rate.
A number of Negro physicians and
welfare workers of high standing
have volunteered to take hold of the
campaign and insure its success. An
other fund of $4,000 will be raised by
the leaders among the Colored resi-
dents of Norfolk and the campaign
for improving health conditions of the
race will be made the most vigorous
ever carried out in Norfolk.

to Louisville at this time, however
his friends said last night.
Marcus Garvey known as "The Me-
gro Moses" and a native of jamaica
is said to have come to the United
States just after this country enter
to Willis Cole he made a visit to
Louisville some months previous. He
sprang into national prominence last
August when 1900 delegates from
branch organizations in various states
met for thirty days in New York and
planned a stupendous program for
making Africa the home of the Negro
people of the world establishing
steamship lines, commercial ventures
and other features of an international
Negro organization.
Most of the Negro organizations,
newspapers and churches laughed at
"Garveyism" as a great Joke, despite
claims of millions Qf adherents. The
convention elected him president of
the. Universal Negro. Improvement As
sociation and African Communities
League of the World, He is believed
by his followers to have backing from
the Republic of Libfria, whose Presi-
try about that timd for the purpose
States.
Following the convention Garvey
organized and was made president Of
the Black Star Line, centralized at
$1O, ,OOO, 900 in 9,OO9,OOO shares of
stock, and claims toIhave sold enough
to buy three additional ships to those
already purchased. According to
claims made for the, organization, the
African navy at present consists of
three former ocean-going yatchs, con-
verted to commercial and passenger
uses. These are the Yarmouth of L.
300 tons, now sailing between New
York and the West Indies; the Anton
10 Maceo, of LOO tons, formerly the
private yacht of II. III. Rodgers, and a
lighter vessel, the ,5hadyside, used
for local excursions and picnics of the
African republicans.
The Antonio Maceo will soon be put
