CARRY WHEAT OR NOTHING
AUSTRALIAN ORDER TO BOATS

By Pac. and Int'l News Service.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Commer-
cial Attache Philip B. Kennedy at Mel
bourne. In a dispatch to the Depart
ment of Commerce, says the Austria
liam embargo on coal, for export is
forcing American vessels to carry
wheat for the Allies or leave port in
ballast. Vessels fitted to- transport
wheat are not permitted to leave port
with any other cargo because of the
governments stringent efforts to get
the more than 135,0O0.o00 bushels of
wheat now on hand taken to England.
Attache Kennedy says:
THE Interpretation of the coal en-
barge. according to reliable informa-
ton. is that permit for the export of
coal will not be given to any vessel
that can carry wheat. Recently the
Ayrian secured permit to load coal
Holland was definitely refused.
These vessels are American sailers,
capable of carrying about $500 tons
dead weight of coal. They had come
down from the Pacific coast of the
United States with cargoes of lumber;
they desired to proceed with coal for
Chile and there load nitrate for San
Francisco. 1t was impossible for the
Wheat Board to secure insurance on
the Ayrian because it was not tight
The Star of Holland, however. being
suitable for carrying wheat. had to
proceed to Chile in ballast.

And One of Importance as is
Shown by the National Geo.
graphic Society.

WASHINGTON. May 1S-News Of
the success of Belgian forces in con-
tltct with colonial troops OF German
East Africa gives timeliness to a
war geography bulletin. issued today
by the National Geographic Society
from its Washington headquarters.
which says:
when the American public reads
that the troops of the Belgian Congo
have defeated the colonial troops of
German East Africa at Shangugu and
that the victors are proceeding south
ward from Lake Kivu in the direc-
ton of Lake Tanganyika. 1t Is hard
| to realize that the two colonial pos
sessions have combined area four
fifths as large as all of continental
Europe. the Russian empire excepted.
Belgium's territory alone in this
quarter of the globe Is eighty times
as large as the mother country,
while the population OF the jungle
wilds of the Congo basin is variously
estimated at from fourteen to thirty
millions. The German colony is
nearly double the area of the home
country, while the population is es-
timated at eight millions. In both
possessions, however, the number of
Europeans. chiefly officers of The
home governments, does not exceed
a few thousands.
Zine Body of Water.
"Shangugu. the position recently
captured by the Belgians. lies on the
southern shore OF Lake kivu. a mag
nificent body of water having an area
almost as large as the state of Rhode
Island, and situated nearly mile
above sea level, with gigantic vol
canic peaks looking down upon it
from the north.
1.-THE march of the victorious CO.
lonials is along the Rusizi river.
which conveys the waters of Lake
kivu for sixty miles to the south into
Lake Tanganyika, the longest fresh
water lake in the world
1.-The history of both the Congo
and OF German East Africa, SO far as
the governing countries are concern
ed, is confined to the last thirty or
forty years. Belgium owes its inter-
ests In the Dark Continent primarily
to its late sovereign, Leopold II, who
founded the international Associa-
ton for Exploration and Civilization
in Africa in 1876. AS a result Of
this associations activities In effect
ing treaties with native chiefs, there
was developed the Congo Free State.
neutral independent sovereignty,
first recognized as such by the United
States in 1884. Leopold, whose pri-
vate purse had betrayed much Of the
expense of exploration, was named
as the sovereign Of the new state.

his mainland possessions of 1884, 900

Early History.
THE early history OF the coast
Of what is now German East Africa
goes back four or five hundred years
before the advent Of Portuguese nav
igators who found Arabs in posses.
sion Of the native villages in the SIX
teenth century. When the Partu-
guese withdrew after two centuries
Arabs again assumed control extend
Ing their power far inland. England
was offered control of the region by
the Zanzibar Arabs at about the time
that Stanley was making his famous
explorations OF the Congo, but the Of
fer was declined. Then began the
activities. secret at first, OF the Ger
man Colonization Society. which
eventually resulted in adding the
territory to the Kaiser's overseas do
main.
ION the western side Of the CONT
nent the Portuguese naval officer Di-
ogo Cam discovered the mouth of the
Congo some ten years before Column
bus set sail on his voyage which re-
suited in the finding OF the New
World. 1t was many centuries, how
ever. before this river, with r basin
of million and half square miles,
larger than any other in the world
save the Amazon, was explored for
more than a few miles above its
estuary.
Name Of Interest.
Zone name OF interest in connec-
ton with the Congo is that of Sir
Roger Easement, now a prisoner in
England charged with high treason.
Sir Roger, when British consul at
Bona, the Congo capital, made a
journey through the upper regions
OF the great river basin in 1903, af-
ter which he made famous report
alleging many atrocities in the treat
ment Of natives.
The most interesting settlement in
German East Africa is Ujiji, town
OF $4,000 inhabitants, chiefly Arabs.
This slave and ivory mart Of the
nineteenth century was first visited
by Europeans in 1858, when Richard
Burton and ]. H. Spoke discovered
Lake Tanganyiki. on whose eastern
shores the town is situated. or even
more interest however, is the fact
that 1t was here that Henry NJ. Stan
ley's famous undertaking to find the
lost explorer David Livingston was
accomplished on October %, 1871"
