safe to allcw bathing TO go on in the
extensive public baths maintained by

PROTECTION
FOR ANIMALS
IS PROPOSED

NATIONS OF EUROPE
ENTER INTO PLAN
ONDoN. Eng. June 20.-sanctu

7 ONDON, Eng, June 20.-Sanctua-
ries where the elephant and the
rhinoceros may roam without
danger or molestation are to be pro-
vided in various parts of Africa as the
result Of a conference just held here.
At the invitation Of the British gov
eminent delegates from Germany, Bel
GUM, Spain, France, Italy and Portu-
gal met under the presidency Of lord
Chelmsford. They drafted interna-
tiOnal regulations to protect the great
beasts which will undoubtedly be ratt-
fled by the governments involved.
Staying to BE Curta1ed.
In certain sections the staying OF
the elephant and rhinoCerOs is TO be
forbidden. The shooting Of the animals
is to be permitted only on licenses,
the conditions OF which are to be
identical in the different territories
for a term of years is recommended.
No tusks are to be exported unless
over % pounds weight
There has been little concerted &C
ton since the international conference
on African animals called by the late
lCrd Salisbury in 1893 In the mean
time the need for protection has in
creased very greatly Both the ele-
plant and the rhinoceros take long
TO come to maturity and are very SLOW
breeders. so that If the stock became
dangerously reduced IL would not be
easy for il to recover.
WantOn Slaughter in Past.
There is, unfortunately, no doubt
that immense destruction has taken
Mace and that the numbers are being
rapidly reduced. The primary causes
are the opening up Of Africa, the build
ing Of railways, the spread OF cuItl-
walton. and the increased numbers OF
whites and natives in possession Of
modern weapons
Herds of elephants have been wiped
out in certain localities because OF
their occa siOnaI depredations to the
plantations of settlers, course that
is declared to be unnecessary, as these
intelligent animals could be scared OF
by the killing Of the leaders Of the
herd.
The direct cause Of destruction, how
ever has been the quest OF ivory. IN
the case sof the elephant and OF horns,
hides and meat in the case OF the
