GERMANY's NEW PROVINCE,

The surprise which was felt at
Frances ready REIMBURSEMENT Of biz
slice Of her Congo territory To Germany
in the Morocco settlement will be ma
terially lessened by the consideration
of a report upon that delectablc region
which has just been made by the Ger
man Imperial Colonial Office.
In the southern part-thc major part
of the territory, it is said, the atmos-
phere is permanently saturated. Mosqul'
toes and other noXious insects abound
Beri-beri, leprOsy, smallpox and the
sleeping sickness are so widespread as
to be practically endemic, and condl-
tlons generally are such that perma-
nent residence there for white men is
impossible, and even brief temporary
visits are exceedingly dangerous.
In view Of such conditions, il does
not seem wonderful that France was
willing To relinquish title 10 that terri
tory for substantial quid pro qua
elsewhere. Nor is there good reason
for amazement at the conduct Of The
German Colonial Secretary, who re-
signed his Office in preference to cOu,
