the Belgian Kongo" Mr.. r. d. Cooper
speaks of the remarkable people who
live in the forest wilds:
Threading our way down the stony
path, winding in and out among the
trees, we began to walk the remaining
few miles along the sandy shore to
Butiaba. A slight breeze sprang up
from the southwest, and very shortly
the sun had kissed the Bulegga noun
tain peaks that rose thousands of feet
sheer from the waters edge in the
west.
"Gaunt forbidding sentinels of the
Kongo, What strange people dwell
behind you-the dwarfs and others,
with their poisoned implements of war
-cannibalism with all its attendant
horrors-a people that cannot tell US
of their past. The ages gone by are
all blank to them. These people are
akin to the beasts Of the forest, mas
much as they care only for the present
They live for the present The past is
gone. No records have been written Of
them.
''The war paint of vermilion colored
pigments which is smeared all over
their bodies adds to the hideousness
of these savages, darting from rock
to rock, hiding behind trees, lying hid
den in the foliage overhead, waging
war with all. Tragedy follows tragedy
behind those Bulegga mountains in the
Kongo, to the south OF which lie the
snow capped cres:s OF rugged Ruwen-
zori.'

The pipefish take care of their young
in a manner that is entirely peculiar
The newly laid eggs are taken care Of
by the male, which has a sort Of fold
on each side of its body Beneath

young are hatched and sufficiently
grown to take care OF themselves.
While In the Zap they are fed by the
mother, upon whom falls the duty Of
foraging around for food.

GERMAN REQUEST
FOR INVESTIGATION
OF 0DENWALD CASE
Charges No Warming Shot Was Fired Before
Bombardment from Moro Castle

Washington, April s-Investigation
Of the circumstances under which the
American forts at San Juan, Porto
Rico. opened fire on the German
steamer Odenwald. and alleged undue
detention of the vessel by the port
authorities, has been requested of the
state department by the German en-
bassy.
The embassy today issued a state
ment charging that no warning shot
was fired as signal for the vessel to
heave-to, as is customary in such
cases. A report to the treasury de-
partrnent from collector of customs
directly contradicts this saying a
warning shot was fired and was I'M
needed. Secretary Bryan said today
that an investigation began when the
incident was first reported but was
not yet completed.

morning orders came from the Ger

through the head of the Pass Office in
Antwerp that we were to leave Bel
GUM without delay. No reason was
assigned for this action.
Before leaving, however, I received
a letter from the American minister at
Brussels, Brand Whitlock. saying that the
reason given him by Gen. Won Kissing
for our expulsion was my relationship to
the British minister at The Hague, Sir
Alan tombstone. who married my sister
and the fact that had stayed with him
at The Hague on my way to Belgium. Ac-
cordingly we returned to Holland On
March 81 and since then have been stay

death Of Leon c. Thresher, an American
lost with the Falaba, constitutes a
complicated case. If the German view
that all merchantmen being armed are

the rights of neutrals to travel aboard

circumscribed. Furthermore, Germany
contends that sufficient time was per-
