I most earnestly recommend that the

Nothing etter for the navy from

 Country.
BEST GUIDES TO BE THERE

London, Aug 1s,--Everythlng pos sible ia being done here to make President Roosevelts contemplated trip to British East Africa in search of big game an unqualified success. The way for slaughter of wild ani- mals is being prepared for him, and so elaborate are the arrangements that arc being made that 1t looks as if his expedition would be hunting trip "de luxe"
 To mitigate the fatigue of travel in Uganda. the administrators of the Uganda railways arc building a spe- cial train consisting of luxurious ob- servatory, sleeping, dining and recep- tion cars The best guides in the dis trict will accompany him on his trip. and his camp life, after he leaves the railroad will be delightful picnic.
 When Roosevelt reaches the inter for of British East Africa, he will 'safari," which means he will camp out in one of the garden spots of the world He will find big game a-plenty for the game laws have protected the wild animals so we'll that they over run the district. Throughout most of his journey. however, he will be close to the railroad, Civilization has pene- trated deeply Into the country and he will find good hotels, excellent food and handy telegraph and cable sta tlons One of the attractive features of the country is that it is possible to undergo all the dangers of big game | hunting and yet remain In close touch with the outside world,
 The climate of the country Is warm doubtedly will become popular | health resort There are hundreds of 1 miles of Uganda that are uninhabt- { able. but it isn't likely the hunter will penetrate to the arid regions for he 1 will find more game than he will be permitted to kill in the healthful sec 1 tions, If Roosevelt strikes northward \ into the Nile lowlands he will find ! fewer lions than on the plateaus, but ] he will meet in their worse forms malarial fever and other dangerous i diseases.
 Like all other hunters. Roosevelt will have to pay $50 for license. Among the game which it will entltle him to kill are the lion, elephant zebra eland eheetah. marabout, har- l tebeest, hyena rhinoceros. hlppopota- mus. antelope. fur monkey, leopard ostrich and aard wolf.
 In all probability Roosevelt vii strike into the wilder regions from
 Nairobi or Nikuro and return to these towns from time to time with his game. In the two towns he will be
