CONGO ASSOCIATION DlSsANDS.
Reforms, Fostered by Organization,
Will Aid Relations With Blacks.

London, July S.-With the dissolu-
ton of the Congo reform association.
which was formally notified To the
belgian government today, the closing
chapter was written in one of the
most successful international cru
sades ever Undertaken in England Ii
was admittedly due almost altogether
to the efforts of this organization of
British publirists that the atrocities Of
the Congo. which 50 shocked the en-
tire world when they were first re-
vraIed dozen years ago during the
reign of the late King Leopold, have
now entirely disappeared. The remoV-
al of the rubber tax, or blood tax,
toward which the association espe-
cialiy directed It's energies, now leaves
the native of the Congo free To gath
err che natural products of his country
and dispose % them in legitimate
trade, without restriction.
The Congo has ceased to be drain
ed of It's litc-blood in the interests Of
Belgian capitalists, who were aided
and allotted by American tinancieis,'

the association, following the final
meeting Of the organization, and as
our objects have been accomplished,
