COLONIAL GERMAN
 IS HEAVY DR|NKER Reports of Household Slave
 ry in East Africa DISCUSSES DUELLING Recent Discussion in Reichstag Will
DISCUSSES DUELLING
Recent Discussion in Reichstag Will Lead to Effort to Put Down the Practice-Ancient Discus
 sion Is Recalled

Berlin, May 25.-The discussion in the reichstag of the colonial budget brought o,it interesting remarks about excessive drinking in the colonies, as well as about household slavery in German East Afri- ca. From the speeches of several mem Iers it appears that the German officials ard the few Germans in the colonies are worry heavy drinkers.
 Dr. Paasche. first vice president of the reiehstag who has himself travelled fin the colonies, said: Our high officials are still compelled, as it were, to invest a laire part of their incomes in alcohol both in Southwest and in East Africa A higher official must drink up nearly $50, and the medium and lower class of ftials correspondingy. They must put tie half of their incomes into alcohol.'
 Herr Davidsohn, a socialist member. claimed that drinking went to far greater excess with the whites than with the ne tives, so that 1t was common among tho negroes to say of one of their number when found dead drunk that he lis as drunk as white man."
 Herr Noske, another socialist. said Southwest Africa was the most drunken of all the colonies, that the Germans there availod themselves of every occa- sion to hold great drinking bouts. A member of one of the small anti-Semitia pal ties finally offered resolution ask 4ng the government to restrict as far ae pcfsible the import of alcohol into the colonies for the use of the natives; but upon motion of the socialists the referenc. t3tthe natives was dropped, and the res otution adopted in the most general terms. Another resolution was adopted asking the government to use it's influence to have the Brussels congress called to- gether again to adopt more restrictive measures against the sale of alcohol ia Africa. Ha Ae
 Members also favored fixing date for the final abolition of household slavery arnong tle native population of East Af- rica pr. Self, the new colonial secretary however expressed doubt as to whether if would be feasible to fix upon specific peiod for its abolishment The govern il1ent, he said was doing all in it's power X, restrict the evil, but it needed further lime before 1t could say whether it would b, practicable to fix a date for It's aboli- ticr He declared. too, that slavery in Africa was not really so bad as Germans at home imagined
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-26

. The recent discussion of dueling in the reiohstag will apparently lead to a strong cffert on the part of that body to take some action looking toward abolishing or frItEer restricting the evil in the army. After the Prussian war minstc- General Vor Heeringen, said inlthe rechstag that aa officer who refuses to fight a duel from religious convictions docs not be- lonc in the social circle of the officers corps the clerical party few days lafer made formal and energetic pro- teat through its leader Dr. Spahn, against thle utterance. He argued that the min. ister of war placed himself and the en- tire officers corps outside of the law through this remark, since both the civil code and the military penal code prohibit duc'llng. Dr. Spahn called attention to the fact that the minister would exclude from the army all officers who respect and obey the laws and said that the mat tst would be further discussed in com -mittee.
 The minister evidently saw that he had gone too far. and at the opening of the nex' session of the budget committee he made formal statement designed to bi eak the force of his declaration. fIe ex- pressed hls regret that in the excitement of the moment he had given his view a sharI form unintended by him. This. he said. had led to the msconception, inas m oh as he had never intended to repre- Sent a man who opposes duelllng out of puie and noble motives as being less worthy than others. Nevertheless, the mnister again. in restating his position. asserted in most positive form that "offi- cers who in certain cases refuse to fight a duel place themselves in such sharp antsgonism to the fundamental convic- tions of their comrades as cannot he toll erated." This, as was pointed out by va ricus newspapers, was but to reassert In other words what he had said before.
 The declaration of Dr. Spahn has at- tracted much attention in army circles and many officers have written to mem- bers of the reichstag to express their hope that compulsory dueling be abolished a n eeting of officers held at Berlin took a similar attitude. It is even asserted by newspapers supporting the anti-duelling ca, Sc that a majority of German officers arc secretly opposed to the duel, but only lacquiesce in it because the dominant cir c'es of the army maintain 1t. Meanwhile the clerical party has broughtN forward a motion demanding that compulsory duell- ins be abolished. and 1t appears highly probable that this motion will secure a majority in the reichStac

The Occultation of Antares

An event of great interest this month is the passage of the moon between us and the bright star Antares. This will take place on June 26, the star disappear ing, as viewed from Washington. at the point A on the east edge of the moon (Figure 2) at Is minutes after il o'clock (Eastern standard time) and reappearing at the point at 30 minutes past mid night. Antares will thus remain hidden for 1 hour and IA minutes, as seen from Washington.
 The reader should not fail to observe this most interesting phenomenon. Tho observation will be much more satisfac- tory If made with a small telescope or a pair of opera glasses; but even with the naked eye the sudden disappearance Of the bright star as the moon passes over 1t will be very striking. As the moon Is three days from full, and as its eastern edge is consequently in darkness, the star will be seen to disappear an appreci- able distance away from the bright edge of the moon itself-that Is, 1t will be hid den before the moon has apparently quite reached 1t. The observer will notice that it will disappear instantaneously. thing that would not be possible If there were any air on our satellite, for in that case the disappearance would be gradual fading away.
 Unfortunately, 1t Is not possible to state for each observer the exact time when

The body in the stellar system at F may be entirely dark, or 1t may be too faint to be visible in any Of the instruments which we possess at present. It has been many times searched for without success

A PRIMARY

In spite Of the fact that there was
supposed TO be a contest for the Demo
cratic nomination for the presidency
between the Hon. Champ Clark and
the Hon. Woodrow Wilson. the Demo.
Gratis OF South Dakota polled just
1882 votes in their preferential pri.
mary. In 1908, Mr.. Bryan's total in
South Dakota was 4O.2s6. In other
words. the preferential primary drew
to the polls one Democratic voter in
every FIVE. The f%utility Of the state.
wide primary as a method Of arriving
al an exact and fair expression of
popular sentiment may be noted also
from the fact that in the South Da.
kota primary. Wilson is supposed to
have received 3.s4s and Clark ASA
votes. The accident OF three or four
votes is likely to determine the char.
acter OF the delegates TO the national
Democratic convention.
