These were the foundation of the race
Of the Ethiopians. The manuscript
disclosed that the Ethiopians had es-
tablished that they were born under
the suns path and ripened earlier than
other men. These Negroes were, as
the manuscript reveals to Greece, "the
inventors Of divine worship, the crea-
tors of festivals, Of solemn assemblage,
and Of those practices that put into eff
feet the worship Of the gods"
The manuscript disclosed that
Egypt" was a colony Of the Ethio-
plans guided by the Negro; and it is
insisted that Cleopatra was not a
blonde, but was Negro having what
they described as "taint in her blood"
for that somewhere in her line there
was the merger Of the Arabic yellow,
giving to her the semblance of what
we would speak Of in America as a
"mulatto." This race of Negroes was
shown in these manuscripts to have
been adopted by the earlier Greeks as
the authors of letters, hieroglyphics
and the alphabet. Among the Grecian
classics there was produced extracts
from Lucian, who gave to the Negro
the credit as being those who first
invested the science Of stars and gave
names to the alanets" Greece re-
sponded to her scholars, announcing
that the first learned nation was a
nation Of blacks" and stated that the
Ethiopians who represented the high
est intelligence, and greatest wisdom
Of government and philosophy were a
people "of black complexion, thick lips
and woody hair"
The Greek academies taught, that
from manuscript accessible, it was
plain to wisdom that the colony which
settled Syria and Arabia, and that
which settled lower Egypt were Ne
groes, and that it was they who over
came the Thebans and impaired to
the Theban people the knowledge
from which Thebes became famous to
the world.

My GOOD Friend:
In compliance with my promise to
you | beg to submit the following
article recounting a bit of ancient his
tory touching the colored race, which
in part being new to me, fancy would
be equally new to some Of your read
ers. and interesting to them all.
! refer to the great part played in
the establishment of the first acknowl-
edged civilizations Of the world BY
those who were black. In other
words, | speak Of the great influence
and power, of character and domina-
ton Of the Negro in the establishment
and foundation Of the classic world
from which our present civilization
acknowledges its creation.
When lately connected with the In
ternational Commission adjusting the
controversies between Greece and
Turkey, and incidentally the claims
of certain citizens of the United
States, was called to Athens in
Greece. While there the excavations
and discoveries were brought forth
disclosing the early existence Of those
who were the heads and directors OF
thar ancient land. At the same time /
was called to investigate ancient
manuscript and record which spoke OF
the civilization along the Ganges in
India, and in part Of the land we speak
of as China, and in much of that we
know now as Persia and Egypt. The
manuscript disclosed that Diodurus,
the historian has recorded that the
government moving from Thebes to
Memphis in the time of Alexander
(who began the building Of Alexan-
dria)-were controlled by those calling
themselves Thebans. These are repre-
sented as presenting themselves as
"the most ancient peoples of earth"
They were black, with prominent
noses, arched forehead, flaming eyes,
very thick Of Lip, large, capacious
mouth; and Of features so regular as
to be used as model for sculpture.

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS
PAGEANT PRESENTED
"voices Of Prophecy" Staged With
Unusual Effect at Luther
Place Church.

Unique in the history of Christmas
pageants in Washington and one of
the most artistic productions that
have been shown here was given its
premiere performance last night
when Bess Davis Schreiher's newest
work, Voices of Prophecy" was pre-
sented at Luther Place Memorial
Church.
Like an exquisitely designed Christ
mas panorama, one picture melted
into the next in telling the old tale
of the Nativity of the Saviour.
Rarely has a first production been
given with such smoothness and dis
patch. The entire pageant consumed
but an hour and a half. 1t was given
under the direction of Miss Schreiner
and Rev. G. NJ. Diffenderfer. pastor
of the church, with Marie Moore For
rest as advisory director and Laura
J. Bogue. director. The setting was
a simple one of draped curtains be-
tween high arches, varied effects be-
ing produced by the skillful manner
in which the lights were handled for
the various scenes. =.
The pageant service, which wnl be
repeated tonight at Sis o'clock, is
based on the prophetic visions of

BIG FUND PROBABLE
TO SAVE FORESTS
Passage of Forestry Bill By
Congress Pleases Conserva-
tionists

ATLANTA, May 6.-The passage
Of the McNary-Clarke forestry bill
in the lower branch of congress is
gratifying to all who perceive the
urgent need Of conserving the coun-
try's woodland resources, it wa
pointed out here today by forest
couservationists.
That the measure had so littlc
opposition among the lawmakers is,
it was claimed, a tribute to its own
reasonableness, as well as to their
interest in the great cause it is de-
signed to serve. If it is to pass the
Senate, however, between now and
The expected adjournment Of con
gress on June the first, it's friends
must be kept vigilant, it was as
serted here.
Georgia is especially concerned
in the McNary-Clarke bill in that
it provides for a fund of some two
and half million dollars to he
used in cooperation between the
federal government and the states
in forest fire prevention.
If the bill now pending in the Sen
ate, it was asserted here, did no
more than open a way to effectual
cooperation for saving the coun-
.try's timber supply from fires, or
that account alone it would be Of
.incalculable value to the common
veal. The statement is made here
that the passage of the legislation
will mean vast deal to America
and a vast deal to Georgia.

POWER FOR FARMS
NOT FAR DISTANT

ATLANTA, May Cone of the
greatest developments Of the near
future, in the view of Atlanta cleo
trical engineers, will be the elec-
trfication of the farms. While cities
and industrial communities have
in recent years been enjoying ample
supplies Of electricity for various
purposes, it was pointed out, the
farms of the country are in many
instances still using oil for light
ing and Old Dobbin for power pur-
poses.
Only one farm in thirteen on q
average in American now uses cleo
tricity figures received here show.
Independent electric plants are used
on 100000 farms while the number
enjoying central station service is
200, 900. The great field Ct $780,
600 farms and 100000 people is
at present almost untouched in the
way of electrical development.
The problems of getting electric
ity in available voltage to the farm
from the power lines Of the coun-
try, and at a cost low enough to
make it profitable for the farmer to
Use it, are now being worked out by
a committee of experts for the Ma,
oional Electric Light Association, it
was stated here by power company
officials who are members of the
association.
A very rapid development is 90
ng on in the matter Of producing
electricity on an extensive scale and
transporting it over long distances,
it was asserted here. Right here in
this section of the South the devel-
opment has been remarkable, it was
shown.
