IN. A. A. G. p. Press Service)


Chicago, June 29.-Asserting tnat
the art and creative ability of the
Negro race, manifest throughout his
tory, was now coming to expression
in America, DR.. w. E. B. Du Bois,
Editor of The Crisis Magazine, speak
ing at the closing mass meeting to-
night of the Seventeenth Annual Con-
ference of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, urged freedom and support for
Negro artists.
DR.. Du Bois said: 'It has long
been a truism that American Ne
groes are gifted in music, but it is
not so widely recognized that the Ne
gro as a race has always exhibited
peculiar artistic ability. The great
sphinx at Gizeh has the face of a
Negro. The religion and art of black
men has long been known in Ethio-
pia and Egypt. Further than this, in
black Africa, in the great valley of
the Congo and on the West Coast,
artisans and artists have labored for
thousands of years to express beauty
in form and song.
Artistic Evolution.
"The slave trade. did much to dis
tort and kill this natural artist tenn
permanent, but slowly it surged for
ward again. First, in the music
which became the only Negro folk
song, and then in the dance, and
finally in our day it has come to more
and more articulate expression
through the spoken and written
word.
What now are the helps and cri-
terra of these new beginnings? First,
of all, art must have freedom. 1t
must not be hampered, on the one
hand, by the preconceptions of the
white audience and it's desire for silly
and lewd entertainment. And on the
other hand, it must not be shackled
by the sensitiveness and natural re-
coil of black folk from the past and
from their caricature at the hands of
whites.

New York Taller To Be Sued
On Libel Charge For $50, 900
]. w. Clifford, New Yorker, Vic
tim of Article in Publication,
Plans to Put Writer in Jail,
Collect Damages.
(Preston News Service)

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 2.-In an in
terview with j. Williams Clifford,
former Lieutenant in the famous
Buffalo Regiment and now U. S.
government investigator, concerning
an article appearing in a recent num-
Der of The New York Tattler under
the caption, "'Jay' Clifford Brings
Divorce Against His Wife Naming
Prominent Harlemite" Mr.. Clifford
stated that there was not one word
of truth in the article, that it did a
great injustice to his wife and family,
and that he was not only bringing a
damage suit for $4,000 against the
spurious publication but he hoped to
land the writer of the article in Jail
for malicious and criminal libel.
Clifford happened to be in Pitts
burgh, Pa, on a special investigation
for the Government when the article
was brought to his attention, and
says he was never more surprised and
shocked in his life. Mr.. Clifford
said:
There has never been the slight
est misunderstanding or estrange-
ment in my married life since it's be-
ginning. I married a lovely girl
whose life before and after her mar
riage has been clean and honorable.
l shall do everything in my power to
put them behind the bars" They
are a menace to society-the Jail is
the place for them"
1t. Clifford and his charming wife
are prominent in eastern social cir
cles. Mr.. Clifford has held number
of responsible positions in the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenues. Mrs.
Clifford is a school teacher in the
Washington Public School. They
have a little daughter two years old.
