Louisville, KY, April 5.-Dr. William
NJ. Morrison. a Southern Presbyterian
missionary to the Congo Free State. in
speaking to the Presbyterian Ministers
Association here, gave an impressive re-
cital of the alleged barbarities practiced
upon the natives of the Congo Free State.

DR.. Morrison. Leopold has there ma
tive cannibal army of 10000 men, Off
cered by white Belgians and armed with
repeating rifles. The men representing
the worst and most savage type of the
natives, were first caught then carried
far away from their homes and forced
into this military service. There, in turn,
this cannibal soldiery is used to compel
the natives to bring in enormous tribute
of ivory and india rubber. 1t is worth
nothing that the King of Belgium is to-
day reputed to be the largest dealer in
ivory and rubber in the world.
"As a result of this forced labor and
military service, great and unspeakable
cruelties are practiced on the native peo-
pie. / have seen a number of times at
least $4,000 fleeing into the forests to es-
cape from the cannibal soldiers of King
Leopold. l have seen the soldiers scour-
ing through the forest, after catching a
number of men whom the government
wanted as laborers. going away with the
captives tied together by ropes around
their necks. Raids upon villages are be
ing constantly made, some of the people
are killed and eaten. others are carried
away into captivity and sold, others are
forced into military service. 7 can Blu,
