LLAMAS MUST BE HUNDRED
Will Not Endure Force or Threats
When Being Loaded They Are
Caressed by Drivers.

The South American llama will bear
neither beating nor ill-treatment. The
animals go in troops, an Indian walk.
ing a long distance ahead. If the
llamas are tired they stop, and the
Indian stops also. If the delay be
too great the Indian, becoming un-
easy toward sunset, after all due pre-.
caution, resolves on supplicating the
beasts to resume their journey. He
stands about 80 or GO PAGES off, In an
attitude of humility, waving his hand
coaxingly toward them, looks at them
with tenderness, and at the SAINT
time, in the softest tones, reiterates,
&c, ic, ic." If the llamas are disposed
to resume their course they follow the
Indian in good order and at a regular
pace, but step fast, for their legs are
long; but, when they are in i'll humor,
they do not even turn toward the
speaker, but remain m%otionless, hud.
died together, standing or lying down.
The straight neck and the gentle ma
jesty of bearing, the long down Of their
always clean and glossy skin, their
supple and timid motion, all give them
an air at once sensitive and noble.
If 1t happens-which is very seldom
the case-that an Indian wishes to OBJ
tain, either by force or even by threats,
what the llama will not willingly per
form, the instant the animal finds 1t.
self %affronted by words or gesture 1t
raises its head with dignity and, with
out making any attempt to escape Ill
treatment by flight, lies down.
The respect shown these animals by
Peruvian Indians amounts almost to
superstitious reverence. When the
Indians load them two approach and
caress the animal, hiding its head that
1t may not see the load on its back. 1t
Is the same in unloading.

Germany suffered little less han a
disaster in the air when four and prob
ably five Zeppelin airships, believed
to be returning from a raid on Eng
land, were brought down in French
territory by airplane and anti-aircraft
gunfire. .
The sea tragedy cos the British the
lives of 1876 officers and men on the
~destroyers, who were left to their fate
by the German raiders, as were the
crews of the sinking merchantmen.
About 100 of the merchant sailors,
however, are known to have reached
the shore in boat or on British patrol
craft. All but three of the trading
ships were of Scandinavian national
ity, most of them apparently being
small vessels.
The story of Germany's reverse in
the air began with the account of Il
raid on England Friday night. Re-
ports soon began to be received, how
ever, of Zeppelins being brought down
in France. These wer at first sup
posed to belong to an independent
raiding fleet. Dispatches from France,
however, declared them to be the raid
ers returning from England. They had
appeared over French territory, it was
stated, and were scattered to various
parts of the country as the alarm went
out and the French airmen rose in
swarms to attack them.
The loss of four Zeppelins is admit
ted in an official statement received
in Amsterdam from Berlin. An air.

which is a submarine base Of the Ger
mans on the North sea, has been bonn
barded from the sea. it was announced
by the German war office, houses in
the town being damaged.
The Italians and the Austrians are
in a deadly struggle in the Trentino,
with both sides piling up heavy losses,
say the latest dispatches.
The London war office announces
that $50 persons in addition to the
1876 lost on the two British destroyers,
were killed when two German raiders
sank eleven ships in the North sea.

stroyer conveys for American troop
carrying transports will be provided
