+} &Future of East Africa.
Mr.. Mcmillan sees a great future
ahead for that part of Africa in which
he is settled. Though at present there
are dangerous beasts that prey upon
the flesh of man. and he finds fresh
dangers wherever he may go, over
head and underfoot, foes that crawl
and bite and sting and poison, that
kill his fiocks and ruin his growing
grain, yet for all that he is positive in
his belief that it is essentially white
mans country. 1t is almost directly
under the equator, yet with its high
altitude, it's clear, cool nights, and it's
dry, bracing atmosphere, there is but
little of the tropic sicknesses, malaria
is unknown, the terrible sleeping sick
ness is being rapidly eliminated, and
the soil is so amazingly fertile that in
a few generations it should prove the
granary of the world. Almost any
ordinary European and American fruit
or vegetable will flourish there; cot
ton is already being extensively culti-
waited along the coast lowlands; sisal
hemp, corn and apples have proved
most successful crops, and he thinks
the coffee of the future will all ship
out of Mombasa and other Fast Afri
can ports.

b, sWhere there are no railroads huge
automobile trucks are used
At the beginning of the war the
countries engaged took over practi-
cally all the automobiles they could
lay their hands on. The machines
thus taken have been used for every
conceivable purpose. There have been

mounted troops Of the enemy. In
fantry have been moved with incred-
ible swiftness by means of taxicabs
which used to ply in the streets of
London, Berlin and Paris. Big guns
are hauled by motor tractors. Gen
erals and staff officers speed from end
to end of the far-fung lines in racing
cars. But, mostamRetant of all, food
is carried by na6eog tfuck to hungry
men. Heavy motor trucks, capable of
carrying several tons each of food, are
attached to the various field depots.

by lodging, stepping aside when the
charge is almost upon him, and there
is but little likelihood of the rhino

Value Of country Lite

The claim has been made that the
highest type of character cannot de-
velop in the country; that the stress
and strain of city life are needed to
purify, refine and spiritualize. Be
this as it may, it is certainly true that
the foundation upon which the high

developed requires the training and de-

years of exploration and adventure, he
has settled down there to the rela-

some noted hunter of big game, like
Theodore Roosevelt, the sultan of Zan--
