Mothers and Babes Sold
STREETS OF FEE ECHOED TO TRAF-
FIG OF SLAVE MART.

FIG OF SLAVE MART.
Fee, June 17.-Women and ba-
bies have in the last few weeks
been sold publicly in the streets
of Fee. On the day after the ar
rival of the French relief force the
Sultan's soldiers, commanded by
European instructors, set forth to
punish the Ouled Djamah tribe,
whose territory reached to Fee.
From tho town all the tribes
villages could be seen burning, and
in the afternoon the soldiers re-
turned with a large number of
young women, little girls and some
babies. All these the soldiers sold
publicly.
A pretty young married woman
fetched $35 and the babies only
$1.25 each. 1t was a pitiful sight
and has had deplorable effect on
the townspeople, the more so as
most of the farms belonged to Fee
people who have remained loyal to
the Sultan. They are rewarded
by having their farms burned, tho
men killed. and tho women and
children sold in the streets of Fee.
