THE work of exploiting the heart of
Africa has just begun. There has
been considerable difficulty in inducing
European coIonists to emigrate to
these regions and begin new homes.
First, the Congo has the evil reputa-
ton of being no fit country for the
white man, and, secondly, a feeling
has existed that a permanent home
there meant permanent burial without
the pale of civilization. Therefore, the
promoters OF the Congo have had to
overcome a great unwillingness among
their people to exchange the comforts
and certainties of the motherland for
the questionable advantages of pioneer
ing in the wild, dark country which
has successfully defied all progress for
zen thOAodhu yCdAo'
Some advance, however, has been
made, and the future of the colony
seems to be one of promise Although
the climate is generally hot and moist,
ii is supportable by the white man. The
climate of the coast lands is least en-
durable for the Europeans. Over 4
great part of this territory, normal
temperatures range between so and
80 degrees. Rain is everywhere
.bundant. The extreme heat of the day
is generally relieved by sharp evening
chill
THE white population of this land
remains still negligible. The total pop
ulation has been estimated at 10000
600, in which are counted mere 5000
whites. The native population, while
overwhelmingly superior in numbers,
has been awed by the white mans ma
chine guns railways, steamboats,, and
telegraphs, and forms docile working
body for the improvement of the land.
More than 1900 miles of railway are in

operation and in course of construc-
ton. Further, las miles of telegraph
communication have been established,
five wireless stations, and some so
postoffices. Before the war there was
regular communication with Antwerp,
steamer from the port calling every
fortnight
THE agricultural possibilities of the
Congo are great, If modern methods of
sanitation finally open it up to the
white men. Its fora is very rich and
varied. Among the products now cult
Gated in its fields are coffee, cotton,
yams, papaws, pineapples, cassava,
corn, rice, peanuts, beans, bannas, to-
bacco, sorghum and kafir corn. Its for
ests abound in rubber vines, and the
natives are employed for gathering the
rubber, which forms the chief article of
the colonys export. Rich cabinet woods
are plentiful, and many import gums
and resins are collected. All of the
domestic animals thrive in this Afri-
can country. The list OF native animals
includes the elephant, hippopotamus,
buffalo, antelope, chimpanzee, rhinoc-
eros, and crocodile. Slaughter of ele.
plants for their ivory has been pro-
hibited, though the ivory exports are
still heavy, coming chiefly from native
accumulations. OF the minerals, large
deposits of iron, tin and coal occur,
and some rich deposits of copper.
For many years, this territory, az
the Congo Free State, first recognized
by the United States in 1884, maintain
ed neutrality-suspicious. under the
rule of Leopold of Belgium. 1t was
formerly annexed to Belgium in 1910.
1t has an annual revenue of about So
100000 and a public debt Of more than
100000. The colony is defended by
about $4,000 native troops"

BELGIUM CONTROLS
A BIC COLONY IN

WASHINGTON, o. c., April De
scribing the Belgian Congo, the Ma
tional Geographic Society, in state
ment issued today, says:
Although Belgium now controls less
than 300 square miles of her territory
at home, she is still possessed of a
colony one-fourth as large as all
Europe together. 1t is larger thar the
combined area of all the countries now
at war, outside of Russia. That colony
is the Belgian Congo, with nearly a
million square miles of territory.
This empire is carved out of the
heart of equatorial Africa, and includes
within its confines one of the worlds
great rivers, the Congo, from which the
, colony takes it's name. The river has
course of about 5000 miles, and with
its tributaries, offers a wonderful sys-
TEN of communication for opening up
the rich hinterland. 1t is estimated
that there are 5000 miles of navigable
waters in the colony, while the Congo
River is navigable for ocean steam
ers for 100 miles upstream. Here fol-

tive not to be expected.

2-The formal. severance of diplo-
matte relations with the German gov
ernment-a course for a long time Sc
Tiously contemplated by Pres. Wilson.
3-Refusal by congress to regard
the German course in the Lusitania
and Arabic affairs as sufficient provo
cation for war.
Nothing will be done hastily. The
administration is strongly committed
to deliberation. There will be delay
time taken to get all the facts of
the latest cause of offense and all the
possible explanations. This will serve,
also to enable the president to get a
better idea of public sentiment, and,
in a measure, to be guided by it, If
congress is to be called in extra ses-
sion it will be in response to public
sentiment demanding action.
There are reasons why the secre-
tary of state will not favor a discon-
tiHuanCe of diplomatic relations as a
rebuke to Germany. From a dipIo-
matte point of view there would beno
gain and much might be lost by such
a course. The moral effect of such
a course would be negligible. It
would be like refusing to hold further
conversation with a rufian who had
punched ones head. While it would
be a great satisfaction to hand his
passports to Won BeTnstorff and his
Boy-Ed and Won Papen, the sever
ance of diplomatic relations would
place the United States at a great
disadvantage in many ways. Brand
WhitlOck would have to leave Bel
GUM; we would cease to be the chan
mel of communication between Ger
many and England and the other
allies. Difficulties would be added to
the handling of commerce with neu-
trail countries and our commerce
with Germany would be at an end.
Finally it would be left to Germany
to place her own Interpretation on

gibson GARDNER GIVES SOME POINTERS ON {.
THE u. S-GERMANY AFFAIR
BY gibson GARDNER

6I OIEOON OARINEN
Washington, Aug. 24.-That Ger
many wants war with the United
States is the only. Interpretation that
can possibly be placed on the torpe-
doing of the Arabic.
By all the precedents of diplomacy
the Arabic affair is an answer to Pres
ident Wilson'S ultimatUm and the
next step, according to diplomatic
precedent, would be war.
, But diplomatic precedents are not
the only things to be regarded in the
present situation. In the United
States the president does not declare
war. The constitution provides that
the people be consulted. War can
be made only by an act of congress.
Section Z, Article H., provides that:
Congress shall have power to de-
clare war, grant letters of marque
and reprisal and make rules concern
ing capture on land and water"
A president can go far toward get
ting the country into war, as was
seen in the Vera Cruz affair. But
even after the navy had landed
party and taken Vera Cruz the ques-
ton of war or peace with Mexico was
still up to congress.
It is the writer's judgment that the
sinking of the Arabic, with or with
out the loss of American lives, will
bot result in war with Germany. 1t
S the writer's judgment, based on in
innate inquiry into all sources of in
formation, that President Wilson
newer intended his final note to Ger
many to be an ultimatum. That he
intended Germany to regard it as
such is freely admitted. That it was
so regarded is not doubted, but back
of the seemingly final words was the
presidents knowledge that only an
overwhelming public sentiment in
favor of war will cause congress to
enact the fatal resolutions.
