SMALL; IS VALUABLE COLONY
Tooolsnd, Which Britain Has Taken
From Germany, 10 Rich In
Natural Resources

Togoland, the fourth and smallest
of German. protectorates on the west
coast Of Africa, which has been taken
by Britain by an erpeditionary force
Of Gold Coast troops, has a coast
line Of about thirty miles only, but
the strip Of territory extends inland
for about $50 miles. While mar
rowing on the northern frontier to
about thirty-two miles, it widens in
the center to fully one hundred
miles. 1t is calculated that Togo
land comprises an area Of nearly
"a, 900 square miles, and there is a
population Of fully 100000.
There are fewer than four hundred
Germans in the colony. Most OF
these are at LONE, the chief town,
and they consist of officials and
traders. Togolsnd, like the other
German West African colonies, suf-
fered from the methods adopted in
developing the territory, but it is a
rich country, producing palm oil and
palm-nut kernels, cocoa, kola nuts,
rubber and the many fbers yielded
by tropical forests.
In addition to building LONE on
lines which render it one of the
healthiest towns on the west coast,
the Germans spent about $250,Ooo
in the construction of q landing
stage.

NOT At ALL TO HIS LIKING
Cornelius husk Misunderstood waiter
as Some Think the Germans MIS-
understood the Nations.

Gen. Vincent B. Thompson was
talking in Milwaukee about the war.
The Germans, in the first place, "
he said, misunderstood the temper
of the Belgians. They misunder-
stood, in the second place, the tenn
per of the Russians, of the English
and of the French. Actually, from
all those nations, they expected a
feeble resistance or none at all.
''The Germans, in a word, mis-
Judged the allies as Cornelius Husk
misjudged the metropolitan restau-
rant.
Cornelius Husk, on his first visit
to New York, entered restaurant
with timid, faltering steps. A
waiter brought him a menu. Very
red in the face, he studied it g long
time. Finally, to help him out, the
waiter said:

Away Your Germanic Name
in Great Britain.

This is an unfortunate time for tradesman to
wear German sounding name in England. 1t
may represent small side Of human nature, but
1t is not difficult to understand the preference
which Britishers just now feel for dealing with
their fellow cOuntrymeu rather than with their
German enemies. So all kinds Of confusion and
quarrelling are reported, aud the rush to establish
an alibi from the charge of being German is ut
its height.
There is Mr. G. II. Schumacher chemist of Hes
wall, Cheshire. '"The London Spectator" printed
some correspondence painting him as a German
and presently was retractng loudly Mr.. Schu.
macher was "natural-bOrn British subject of
English parentage OIL his mothers side" it seemed,
and to make matters worse, his only son, Mr. Cyril
Schumacher, was serving his country with the
Liverpool Scottish" Sincere apologies, etc. Like
wise Mr. Carl Hentschel, of London, rushes inro
print to state emphatically" that he never was
German" His father was a Russian and Il nat.
urazed American citizen-which plainly brought
him within the affectionate embrace Of the Triple
Entente

M'ADOO DENOUNCES
BANKERS BOARDING
Circular Letter of Instruction to
Withhold Loans ROuSeS
Treasury Head.

Washington, Sept. 27.--In support OF
his charge that large number of state
banks are boarding money during the
present crisis, Secretary McAdoo made
public to-day circular letter issued
by the president of state bank in the
South to chain of other banks con-
trolled by him.
Absolutely shut down to any more
loans" collect up the notes falling
due from now on" land do not consent
to renew any of your present notes
arc some of the instructions given IN
the circular letter. which continues as
follows:
THE situation is gradually lalthough
slowly improving. Some little cotton
is moving, and wish that it could be
appreciated in this section chat IL Is
better TO sell the cotton AS it is baled
and pay what is owing.
"Thc present crop looks like 1t may
be 100000 bales, including linters.
Even without the European var any
such crop as seems likely would natu-
rally drop cotton away down TO nine
cents To-day it is selling here nearly
that high, notwithstanding the war.
I'VE, of course, have the kindest feel
ings and wishes for our customers, but
we cannot undertake to assist in the
holding of cotton. It is absolutely
essential that this bank shall clean up
all of its borrowed money. If we were
to fail to do this even just one year it
would seriously injure US in our future
ability to take care of our customers"
Mr.. McAdoo made the following
comment regarding the letter:
Nothing could be more reprehensible
than the conduct of this bank, nor
more clearly show how credits are be-
ing restricted and money is being
boarded by some banks. A similar
policy pursued by all the banks in the
United States would produce untold
suffering and general disaster"

Will College Registration Suffer?

1t will be Interesting to watch the registration
figures Of the various colleges and universities in

distress or readjustment due to the war will have
on them. Columbia and New York University are
both confident Of large gains, relative and abso-
lutte As these two institutions draw largely from
the metropolitan area which has suffered financial
~ and indusrially in greater proportion than has

Of Americans college course for their children has

versties enjoy their normal increase Of students

JAPANESE IN CANADA
Small Chance of EnglsndS So Utiliz'

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent Metz"
asks: "Will the American press also
praise England when she will allow
Japan to land her soldiers in Canada
to fight us?" 49,.
The first and most obvious question
which presents itself 10 ones mind IN
answering such a perfectly absurd
question is. "Will the American peo-
pie permit the Japanese to land in
Canada ," What will the great Ameri-
can navy be doing?" Apart from that,
this question, this taunt, Is as silly as
the prediction made by Baron Mumm
in the interview which you 80 kindly
published to-day land for which }
thank you from the bottom of my
heart, in which the baron implied tina.
as soon as Canada became possessed o.
a population of 100000 or 60,000,OOO
Great Britain would take the opportu-
nity to attack the United States and en-
deavor to destroy or cripple them to
her own benefit. The baron, of course,
forgot to hazard a guess as 10 what the
population of the United States would
be at that time, and Metz" in asking
this question also forgot to take into
consideration one Of the vital points
concerned in his questionable Cana
dian public Especially those who now
and who will later inhabit the Pacific
Coast. The people are one in accord
with the sentiments of the Californians
on the Asiatic question.

seven years ago, and l have a vivid
recollection of the tremendous opposi-

against the admittance of Asistics by
all classes in British Columbia. Does
Metz" for one instant imagine that
England would dare to use Canada as
a catspaw to further Asiatic ends? Not
