DEATH RATE AMONG NE
GROES DECLINING.
preston News servicel.

New York City. July 1s.--A re-
markable decline in the mortality of
Negroes has taken place in the last
ten years. according to the records
pany. This company has more than
100000 policy holders throughout the
entire United States. In 1911 the
death rate was 1850 per 1000 and
in 1921 decreased to 1872 per 1000
a drop of rs per cent. There would
have been 1000 more deaths among
Negro policy holders than actually
occurred in 1921, IL the 1911 death
rate had prevailed in that year.
According to the Statistical Bulle-
tin:
This marked decline, on analysis,
can be traced to improvements In the
death rates from tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, heart disease, Brights disease,
malaria, typhoid fever, and pellagre-
The improvement in the mortality
of Negroes is not localized. So far as
the experience OF the Metropolitan in
dicates. 1t represents a very broad
movement affecting virtually all areas.
Scarcely a state but shows decided
decline.
"As late as 1916 there were Sc local
areas where the Company's Colored
business showed mortality rates above
17.5 per 1000. The record for 1921
shows only Is such localities. In 1916
there were 80 centers with rates In
excess of 1910 per 1000. In 1921 no
such rate was experienced anywhere.
1t is noteworthy that the public health
movement which has been so success
full with reference to the white people
Is also making its impress upon the
Colored. The Negro death rate how
ever is still so high as to show glar-
ing DEFICIENCIES in the health provish
ions for these people. The facts for
the last ten years show clearly that
the death rates of this race can
readily be improved. There is all the
more necessity for intensification of
the services specially applicable to
these people. In this connection, much
is promised by the apparent desire of
the insurance companies administered
by Negroes themselves to lead in the
development of public-health work
and welfare services among their
own people"

MRS. ROBERT CHURCH DIES
in WASHINGTON.

washington, d. c.. Jufy fs.-Mrs.
Robert r. Church. of Memphis, Ten
nessee, who has been i'll here for
several months, died here Monday,
July 3rd. Some time ago Mrs Church
who before her marriage to Robert
r. Church was a resident of Washing
ton. underwent an operation at Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Her con-
ditions seemed to improve. but in re-
cent weeks those closet to her noted a
change.
Robert r. Church. his mother and
sister, were in constant attendance at
the bedsire OF Mrs Church, whose
death was a shick to the entire COM
munity and in Memphis, the sad news
could hardly be believed.
Mr.. Church, who at great personal
sacrifice, has been in Washington
several months voluntarily assisting
in shaping political affairs in behalf
of the race hasr eceived words of
sympathy from every part of the
United States. Mrs. Church was of a
most lovable disposition, and was
greatly interested in charity and RAJ
cial welfare.

ambitions soon took on large pro-
portions. Meanwhile the inevitable
quarrel between themselves and the
Hottentots in the, vicinity of Table
time all the southwest corner Of Africa
was settled by this tribe and the
Bushmen. In 1859 a little war broke
out between the Dutch settlers and
the Hottentots which won for the
Dutch a small strip of land on the
them a foothold. The one direct effect
of the advent of the Dutch into Africa
was the great impetus to slave trade.
The West Coast became the greatest
slave market on earth, demanded In the
New World for slave labor made this
a most profitable business. Very early
in the history of this country 1t was
discovered that the native american,
the Indian. was not able t. do the
heavy work that was necessary to
guild up great and strong nation and
the Negro was placed On the market
to supply Ibis need. The first part OF
the New World in which Negroes
were extensively used was Hayti In
st. domingo. The aboriginal popula-
lation had at first been employed In
the mines; but this kind of labor was
found to prove so fatal to their con-
tutions that Las Casas. bishop of
Chaipa, who is known to history as
the celebrated protector of the Indians,
interceded with Charles for the sub
of African slaves as a strong
err race; the emperor accordingly, in
1917 sent large importation OF Ne
groes from the Portu guese Coast of
West Africa. When we hear the white
man boasting Of this being the twhite
mans country my mind goes back
to the laying the foundation of this
Republic the Negro was the man
that furnished the Drawn while the
white man furnished the brain, and
as is evidenced by the statement above
one was Just as indispensable as the
other in the building up of the great
American Industries and penetrating
the swamps and forests with arteries
of transportation. The fact that
the large majority of the Negroes in
the United States, in the West IN
dies, and on the Guiena Coast are of
the Ashanta and Fanti tribes. as their
folk lore. legends, and linguistic evil
dences attest. show what successful
slave raids were made in the West
Coast of Africa. While tho Dutch de-
ported thousands Of them to all parts
of the world. they did not loath to
mingle their blood freely with the
Gold Coast Negroes and their long
occupancy of the forts produced an

1t may forever remain an open ques-
ton whether the British seaman or
the Dutch colonist are entitled to
next place to the Portuguese and
Spaniards in the exploration and set
tlemant of the West Coast of Africa,
same time-but first place is generally
accorded the Dutch. One observes that
the conquest and occupation of our
fatherland by European nations have
not been the mere trick of accident
neither have timidity and sympathy
entered into the scramble, but it has
on the contrary been most potent
demonstration of the working out of
the law of the survival of tho fittiest.
The nations with the largest and best
equipped armies. Differed by the
most efficient military leaders, but
tressed by grim determination have
been the victors. Spain being the only
nation after the loss of her American
and Pacific holdings seems for a
moment to have touched the sympa-
thies of England and France and al
lowed foot hold ON the Coast of
Morocco. The one thing THAI is to be
especially noted and condemned Is the
almost total disregard the white ex,-
plorers and colonist have Shown for
The rights of the natives. In a few
cases they went through the form OF
purchase but this has been the ex-
ception rather than the rule--they
have acted the big bully and not only
took the black mans land but made
a slave of him. In not few colonies
the slaves out numbered the masters
by one hundred to one. The Negroes
Of America can never forget the en-
tering of the Dutch into the oompeti-
tive struggle for a slice of Africa
for II was from his vessel that our
fathers were landed on the soil of
Virginia, laying the foundation for
American slavery which was abolish
cd after the dreadful civil war only
in its most inhuman form as q public
institution, but still exist in many of
the old slave states in the form of
peons ge, and in a more general and
wide spread civil and political bon
dage hence the selling of the black
man on the Virginia Coass by that
Dutch slave ship indicted him into
a. bondage that has continued until
this day. The Dutch made their first
voyage TO the Guinea Coast in 1896,
just 16 years from the date they threw
off the Spanish yoke. On the pretext
of warning with Spain--which in
cluded Portugal. they displaced the
latter power at many places along the
coast Besides supplanting the Portu-
guess the Dutch established them
