Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, September 8, 1911.
Capt. r. ]. C. Thompson OF the Royal
Army Medical Corps has something ex-
tremely interesting to say in a report that
he has drawn up on the work Of the
Sudan sleeping sickness commission that
had been working in the Lado enclave-
the stretch Of territory that has reverted
to the Anglo Egyptian Sudan on the death
OF King Leopold-since September. 1910.
The British officer has little doubt that
the frightful scourge was introduced from
the Kongo, that 1t became firmly estab-
lished in the Yei, and that the natives
who came there as laborers carried in
lection back to the villages. What still
further aggravated the spread Of the
disease was the unchecked invasion Of
the country by cosmopolitan traders with
caravans of Uganda porters. The OBJ
servation that Capt. Thompson has to
make on the fly responsible for the sleep
ing sickness disease. glossina patpalis, is
that 1t came into the houses on moonlight
nights
Writing Of the town Of Yei. the admin
istrative center Of the Lado enclave.
Capt Thompson says that the river
banks were entirely cleared for dis
lance of four miles. the clearing extend
ing fifty to one hundred yards back from
the waters edge: all trees and bushes
were cut down, all the grass hoed, the
wood and grass were sled at the edge
Of the clearing and burned. the tangle of
roots on the face Of the banks was
cleared away, and when the river became
shallow enough the trees and debris
which had been toppied into the water
were lifted out and burned. He con-
