quest it was time for Intervention
The Berlin conference, rendered in
evitable by Stanley, meant interven-
ton. The International Congo asso
citation became the Congo Free State,
with its territory roughly defined and
with its sovereignty lodged in the per
son of the king of the Belgians. The
rest of Africa was manifestly destined
to be gradually rounded up into
spheres of influence, the centeTs of
gravity Of which would be at London,
Paris, Berlin, Lisbon and Rome. The
laws governing this process were con-
structed in skeleton and were left to
be provided with flesh and blood by
subsequent conventions between the
governments particularly concerned.
The year 1884 must, therefore, be
taken as the epoch of the modern par
tition of Africa and Stanley must be
taken as a compelling figure in that
epoch.
This is the reason why only an in
adequate conception of Stanley's work
is secured when he is studied only as
a member of the glorious fellowship
of African explorers. He ranks with

The object Of the Grand Army IN its
relation TO civil life, and aside from its
traditional association and charitable
work, was to organize the victory
which had been won on the field Of
battle. The post rooms become schools
Of loyalty, where reverence for the flag
as the symbol Of the nation has been
persistently inculcated and where the
national idea has been constantly ex-
allied Then came the work IN the
schools OF which mention has been
made and whereof all the land knows.
It is not too much to say that owing
to the far-reaching influence Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic more
than TO anything else the flag is now
universally revered, and there is no
longer any question in the land, either
in the North or South, that the Amer
lean people now constitute a nation.
Day after day, as the glory Of their
achievements in all the arts Of peace
is finding new acknowledgment in ev-
cry quarter OF the globe, there comes
new evidence that they are a unit

future-great, glorious, invincible-

the United States. To these must be
added a roll OF names which at that
time numbered over three hundred
and fifty thousand-the grand army
Of the dead
During the four years Of the desper-
ate conflict altogether 2,S59, 132 men
had been enrolled in the military ser
vice There had been killed in bat
tie 67.O5S; died Of wounds and other
injuries, 1902; of disease, 224, $50,
and from causes not classified, "A, $50
"a total death roll OF 359, 52S.
This vast army had taken part in
more than two thousand engagements,
many Of them Of minor Importance as
to the number Of men engaged or re-
suits attained, while others were
mighty battles which strained all the
resources and tested the fullest pow
ers of endurance of the great Oppos-
ing armies, to an extent which must
make the legend, which f1Oated from a
banner stretched across the front Of
the Capitol, while the cOnquerOrs
were marching by during those two
memorable days Of the grand spectac-
ular peace review: The Only Nation

Debt We Owe the Victorious Union
Soldiers ring down the ages forever.
It was out Of all this that the Grand
Army Of the Republic grew into being
in 1873, with a membership Of only 81
Ole, out OF all those hundreds Of thou
sands of veterans. But its growth was
inevitable-as inevitable as its decline
and death In 1890 the organization
reached the high-water mark with an
enrolment of 4O9, 4S9, since which
time it has diminished at the rate Of
two, three, four, five, six, seven, yes,
and even eight thousand a year and
more. II 1892 the roll had sunk to
263,745. IN that year alone $500 an

Printed nets make charming lamp
shades. The odds and ends of a new
evening frock may be utilized in
manufacturing a shade.
One of this sort consisted OF black
net, printed with pink and lavender
orchids. A background and lining of
lavender silk was first fitted over the
plain cardboard frame. The leaves on
the net were outlined with silver
thread. The net was then applied
over the silk. The edges Of the shade
and the places where sections of net
and silk were joined together were
then outlined with pale lavender col
Ored chiffon ruching.
The fringe consisted of glass beads,
matching the tint of the silk.

The Late Henry Morton Stanley.
Stanley and the Congo will go TO-
gether in the human mind.
But Stanley's work was even great
er than this. He labored at a time
when exploration had come to have a
political as well as a geographical
value Bruce and Park and the rest
have their place in the history of ad-
venture and Of science For Stanley
was reserved the distinction of being
the first of the African explorers
whose travels led directly to general
exploitation and whose personal
career is itself entwined with the par
tftiOn Of African territory among Eu-
rOpean powers.
J. Scott Kettle. the great English
authority on the colonization OF Afri
ca, is sustained by the facts when he
says that in the descent of Europe
upon the newest, as we'll as the oldest,
Of continents, @StanIey's memorable
journey across Africa and especially
his discovery Of the great waterway
of the Congo may be regarded as the
initiatOry episode"
While Stanley was still in Africa on
the journey which took him through
underground and dwarfs from the
Eeadwaters to the estuary of the Con-
90, King Leopold Of Belgium, his i'm
aginatiOn fired by the prospect o. Z
new continent split down the middle
and exposed to the view of civilized
mankind, had convened the Brussels
conference of 1876. Here the InteTna-
tional African Association was organ
lied for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of geo
graphical science So iridescent had
this science become that subsidiary
African associations were organized
even among the mountains of Switzer-
land and along the plains of Hungary,
far from the European coast line and
equally far from maritime ambition.
AS soon as Stanley landed at Mar
settles on his return from Africa he
was saluted by King LeOpold's ennis
saries- Then came the establishment
under Belgian auspices of the COM
mittee for the exploration of the upper
Congo. Shortly afterwards came the
reincarnation OF this committee as
the International Congo association,
still controlled by the head of the Bel
gian government, and largely sup
ported by his private purse. Stanley
was about TO assist in the unique en-
terprise of creating an empire on be
half of an ambitious royal millionaire
and thereby drawing the wolf pack of
Europe into combined but mutually
hostile attack upon the regions by
which that empire was surrounded
In 1879 Stanley was back in the
basin of the Congo. this time not as
