left over unpassed by the last ses-
sion. He told his hearers that II
members Of the United States Senate
were sufficiently convinced that the
Negroes throughout the country
were in earnest for the passage OF
this bill to stop the curse of lynch
ing in this country favorable action
could be expected. The lack of CO.
operative interested shown thus far
by Negroes throughout the country
failed to compel the members of
the Senate to feel that they must
act favorably on the Dyer Bill. This
strenuous effort by Negroes through
out the country on the eve Of this
important national election is bound
to bear fruit He urged every Negro
voter to write his Senator asking
for the passage of the Dyer Bill.
Millions of letters and kilograms
from Negroes from all parts of the
country urging the passage Of the
hill will aid greatly in having the
senate enact this bill into a law.
He urged them to ask their white
friends to use their influence with
members of the upper house Of
congress for the passage of the
bill.

mittee in his announcement that
Minnesota will be asked tc contrib
ute 100000 70 the Near East relief

of their intellectual superiority"

quotes the record that Armenians
have made In the United States,
where they have been free to devel-
OPP their attainmentS Enmolested by
the Turks
There are 90 Armenian professors
and instructors in leading universi-
ties and colleges, over 200 physicians
and dentists, over sc clergymen
preaching TO American congrega-
lions. several hundred engineers,

that the Armenian people, as a
whole. are the most literate people
among the new immigrants who
come to America. OF those who are
working in factories and mines,
