AFRICANS FEAR AUTOS

ing fed by perpetual snow on it's summit pear after a comparatively short course Water is to be found in pools after rain and grazing is good on the whole.
 Every post, detached house, village and kraal in East Africa is protected by boma--a thick, impenetrable fence made of thorn trees cut down and placed with the thorns outward and the butts inside Material for this fence always abounds on the spot, and even in peace times such protection is necessary against lions, ele- plants, rhinoceroses and other casual rovers In addition to the bona, of un- limited height and thickness, protection also is provided in the form of a thorn carpet which blocks all the approaches. Cover from view and considerable protec- tisn from rifle fire are afforded by this means alone and when a few hours are available for trench digging a very : formidable defense can be arranged, cap- able of indefinite extension and improve ments by means of deeper trenches overhead cover, defilading (that is, pro- lection by means of banks, etc, from
 flanking fire), communication trenches eight or more feet deep and concealmcnt from aeroplane and other reconnaissance by means of grass and thorn bush.
 "AlI approaches to defended pos nave lanes cut through the bush, of ir- regular shape and arranged in such way that every open. and therefore tempting, piece of ground is covered by machine gun and rifle fire A widely extended front is usually occupied by the enemy. with somewhat similar works on the ex- treme Hanks, so that an attacking force is liable to be caught in front and flank unless reost careful scouting is done by the aeroplanes. mounted troops. and foot scouts.
 'It is very hard indeed for large body of troops advancing to keep touch in the bush. With range of vision varying from 10 to 50 yards progress necessarily is slow, and it Is impeded by skiflfully posted machine guns, snipers in trees and Maxims mounted on and fired from the back of grass-covered animals"

 AEROPLANES AWED PEONS

Gregory Mason in the Outlook.
 When the first American aeroplane ap- preached Ascension, Mexican woman who saw it coming exclaimed to a neigh Dor.
 Look, Maria, at the huge, fast bird coming out of the north! How rapidly 1t grows larger! My God, it's not a bird, it's menr' And the poor half Indian wom- an fell in faint.
 At first, the farmers and their wives and children ran to hide themselves when they saw our aeroplanes coming, but when they found that the American sky boats did not hurt them they learned to watch the aircraft with dumbfounded in- terest Besides, they saw it was use- less to hide
 '.Senor," an old Mexican said to an American officer, 'how can Villa escape those great steel eagles you sail in? Holy Virgin, they see everywherei They are the grandfathers of the hawlls!"
 Returning to camp through the dusty streets of Casas Grandes-"C "Casey's s Grandest," as it has been Hibernicized by the perennial Irish element in our army-a group of troopers were stopped by a dozen Carranza soldiers, stunted, underfed looking boys, wearing the as sorted uniforms of the first chiefs army blue denim overalls and Jumpers, pajama suits in browns, drabs and grays, and khaki limitations of the American uniform bought from unscrupulous clothiers in Juarez.
 "Companeros, they hailed, how many aeroplanes have yor-3Oo?'
 Yes" replit~ our troopers, glad that the Mexicans did not know that thanks to the shortsightednes of Congress, al that time we had only six aeroplanes in Mexico, and those old and small.
 "Can" they drop big fire from the clouds?" continued the Mexican spokes- man in English.
 Yes, yes,' said our men, conscience less, for the fact. is that not one of our aeroplanes in Mexico carries either bombs or machine gun, none of them beinf fit for anything but scouting service over very restricted aera. 'Yes, they dror huge bonfires from the sky

THE yAGABOND
By Robert Louis Stevenson.
 Cixna ma tha lifA love

y Robert Lotus stevenson. Give me the life I love,
 Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven above
 And the byway nigh me. Bed in the bush with stars to see. Bread dip in the river There's the life for man like me, There's the life forever. Let the blow fall soon or late. Let what will be OCT me- Give the face of the earth around, And the road before me. Wealth I seek not, hope nor love. Nor friend to know me; All I seek, the heaven above And the road below me. W Or let autumn fall on me
 Where afield I finger, Silencing the bird on tree,
 Biting the blue finger. White as meal the frosty field Warm the fireside haven Not to autumn will I yield,
 Not to winter even! Let the blow fall soon or late, Let what will, be o'e CT me; Give the face of the earth around, And the road before me- Wealth I ask not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me; AllI ask, the heaven above
 And the road below me.
