Today the great Congo problem
came before parliament, and what
ever may have been the scandals,
cruelty and oppression attending the
leadership of King Leopold, all Bel
gians wish to see the matter resolved
in lines of humanity and progress,
and in manner to convince the
world that the Congo is safe In Bel

Despite his apparent Indifference
and criticism, there Is reason to be-
| lieye that Leopold Is so stung by the
worlds wrath over his conduct in the
Congo matter that he will never re.
cover from this. He has always been
convinced that the American criticism
is sincere, although he impatiently
sought to explain that it was the work
IOf "prattling missionaries. He had
obsession, however, that the British
Iattacks were not free from jealousy

The peculiar odsr of clay is un.

they can be classified according to
their Physiological effects, which vary

transferring the odors of clay to sac
