slaves are almost black! When q

thrown out and scouts are sent ahead

look over the ground. The invading
army is composed entirely Of warrior
ants, with powerful Jaws, quite DIFF.

Of the Vanquished blacks, they rob It
Of eggs and pupae, which they carry
off to slavery in their own home. The
returning Yictors are welcomed upon
their arrival with various manifesto,

defeated foes are taken within and
