HOLDING UP PRECIOUS LETTER
African Blacks Fail to Realize What
Missive Means to the ExiIed,
Homesick White Man.

1t is pioneer custom in Africa, east
and west, that the white mans local
letter is franked from town to town.
The black man to whom the white
man gives his letter carries it to the
headman of the next settlement, who
carries 1t in turn to his brother head
man down the trail; and so from hand
to hand by day and by night, with
a glance from any passing white man.
the letter goes forward. Such a LETT
ter-carried as the custom is, in q
split rod from which there hung, like
flag, a bit Of turkey red-changed
hands that night before my tent. And
now / write it in a white mans book
that the postmen loitered.
To stand and chat there In the moon
light with the exile's letter in your
hands-how could you do that, you
two old heartless headmen? I watched
you from my little green tent. 1t is
remembered Of you that you so de-
layed, while in some lonely hamlet
under that same moon white man
sickened for letter. And when one
gave the forked stick to the other, it
was then toe late. If indeed, as you
would say, you spoke no more than
five words Of gossip one to the other,
those words were five too many. 1t is
remembered Of you, and a thousand
nights since when I have waited for
the mail, If it were a moonlight night,
/ have told myself with an extreme
self-pity and bitterness, 'The carrier
is gossiping in some clearing" I have
seen In my heart that man with the
load Of mail upon his back, standing
for hours by friend Of his, laughing
and asking news one Of the other. This
conjured vision of two black men hold
ing up the mail is the sad issue Of an
imagination infected beyond cleansing.
You see, saw them do it.-Jean Ken

Feeding Babies In PondoIand.

IF a Pondo baby lives through the
first year Of his life, nothing short of
an earthquake or a submarine can
jeopardize his future. Consider, for
example, the way he is fed.
His mother lays him fat on his
back on her lap. With one hand she
makes a funnel over his mouth and
with the other holds gourd contain

called "amasa." This she proceeds to
pour down the screaming child despite
his sputters, kicks and chokings. Not
until the last drop has passed through
her hand does she release him.
a frequent result of this forced feed
ing is a CONFUSION. and the mother,
frantic with fear, dispatches messen-
ger for the medicine man. If he 10 a
proper medicine man he has carefully
quizzed the messenger on the way
over, and knows Just what is expected
Of him.
Without even a cursory glance at
the sick child, he calls for large dish

pint of water. Powdered roots,
bark, bones, claws and sometimes
pieces Of hair are mixed with the wa

(by Aft0uf Se0 Hennlne.)
Washington, April 26.-Food, ships
and money are the pressing wants Of
the allies. as stated to the administra-
ton in the order of their importance
today by the British commission
headed by Arthur j. Balfour.
Transportation is q paramount is
sue in which the United States car
help. This was emphasized today by
Allen Garrett Anderson, q member
of the British commission and chair
man Of the British wheat executive
committee, which buys and exports all
wheat and maize for France. Italy and
Great Britain:
If h allies have enough ships to
keep them from starving. things will
run smoothly" Mr.. Anderson said to-
day. I'VE r tar from starving, de-
spite the submarine campaign. and
with Americas help there is no
chance of It,"
Grain Purchases Pooled.
Mr.. Anderson told how the allies
were forced to pool their grain pur-
chases because Of transportation diff
in the w%ar-ridden countries. Italian
and French ships. he said, take wheat
to England, while British ships take
wheat through the Suez canal from
the far. east, Australia and India.
"Our. board fixes h pHcs TO- tho
wheat commissioners" he added, "and
they see tina it gets to the mtllers.
Any commissioners caught boosting
prices are blacklisted. We have a.
cluded all the commissioners we could,
because we believe any government at
war should keep all trade organiza-
Patience on Freight Delay Urged.
"Not only the submarine has affect
ed our shipping, but war itself neces-
sarily slow up ships. The vessel. that
brought our commission took more
than a fortnight.
"The freieht problem in the Uni
ted States, in Canada, and in other
countries where the allies are dealing
must be reckoned with. The freight
system must be interfered. with, and
the public must be patient"
Mr.. Anderson said wheat consump-
ton for manufacture Of distilled
liquors had been reduced in England
from 40, 900 IONS annually to $4,000
tons, and the latter largely for dis
tillation Of alcohol for munition and
yeast manufacture.

to the United States" Mr.. Anderson
said.
