A South African Kingdom

In Barotesland Col. Harding n day
delivered to a native chief a message
which King Lewanika had talked into
a photograph. The chief "gazed blank
ly, wildly, from side to side, looking
this way and that, and finally, In spite
Of rheumatic difficulties, rose to his
feet, and stumbling to the table, gazed
long and hard down the mouth OF tho
trumpet, with the evident lively hope
of seeing there his masters head. Not
finding 1t, he turned away dazed, and
said: How can iron speak? How
can it know my l~anguage? Then he
added, with the air of one who has
solved all difficulties: This IS witch

Royal blood in Barotesland has to
be accompanied by merit If 1t amounts
to anything. Says Col. Harding: ITO

Subsequently the president made
arrangements for a two weeks trip

proposed extraordinary session would
not be held until after the November
election.

pleted, but the matter is being con

PATIENTLY WAITS
Results Of Federal Crusade
I Against yellow

Disease is Being Ferreted Out,

New Orleans, La, Aug. 12.-With
Surgeon White of the marine hospital
service frankly expressing no sur.
prise at the increase in the number
of new cases of fever, and expecting
that for some time to come there will
be a large quota brought to light
daily, the people of New Orleans
have made up their minds to await
in patience the results of the federal
campaign which is now fairly In
swing.
1t is considered to have been demon
strated that some of the physicians
have heretofore neglected to report
cases and that has made it difficult
for the health authorities to main
tain a complete record of all the cases
in existence. The campaign of edu-
cation and persuasion, however, is be-
ginning to tell. DR.. White began to see
light ahead from the apparent willing
ness Of the physicians to cooperate
with him to the extent of making
known the sickness that appears in
their private practice. Up to noon
yesterday a dozen cases Of fever had
been officially reported and the fact
that none OF these were cases turn
ed up by the official inspectors but
cases submitted by the doctors them.
selves, was taken as an encouraging
sign.
An unexpected blow was struck at
the marine hospital staff yesterday
when n of the men sent here to as
sist in the fight against the disease
was himself stricken. The victim is
Surgeon T. Berry. DR.. Berry is a

because he has been through the Gu
ban campaign and had had the fever
