AMERICAN ADVENTuRER IS GREAT DISCOVERER

in these they stood off the attacking force for
hours, killing more than so natives.
Chaille-Long led several expeditions into Africa,
conQuering the Niam-Niam country and adding it
to Egypt, and exploring a long stretch of the East
coast of Africa that hitherto had been unknown
to civilization.
Called Back to Egypt.
His health failing under the incessant hardships
to which he had been subjected, Chaille-Long came
back to this country in 1877 and studied law. He
became an authority on international law, after
ward teaching for q time in Paris. But at the time
of the Sudanese uprising in 1881 he was besought
by the American government to go back to Egypt
and take charge of the consulate at Alexandria.
from which all the other Americans had fled. He
saved hundreds of lives during those t%roublous
times, the consulate being made a refuge for all
nationalities.
In 1887 Cleveland appointed Chaille-Long con-
sui general and secretary of the legation in Corea.
The mans restless energy again manifested itself
in exploration and he made an overland trip to
Seoul, discovering on the way the source Of the
Han river. Egypt called him again in 1890 and he
spent eight years there, writing and exploring.
The honors that had been tardy in their coming
began to be showered upon him then. Great Brit
ain finally recognized his share in the uncovering
of the secrets of the Nile and gave him equal rank
with Speke and Baker. The American Geograph-
ical society gave him a gold medal, and he was
made secretary for the Universal Postal congress
at Washington and later secretary to the United
States commission at the Paris exposition, 1900.
Chaille-Long wrote a number of books dealing
with the lands he had explored. They are standard
works upon the little-known regions Of the world,
but they brought him little revenue. Though half
o dozen nations honored him with medals and IT,
ties, he died a comparatively poor man. His only
reward of any consequence was the tribute paid
him by "Chinese" Gordon, another of the great ad-
venturers: ''This man deserves to- rank with the
worlds chief discoveries"

One of the great American adventures died re-
Gently. He was Col. Charles Chaille-Long, and his
death received the same scant notice that had been
awarded so many of his achievements during MS
lifetime. Soldier, author, diplomatist and explorer,
he lived his seventy-fve years as thoroughly as
any man of his time. He knew four continents
and he solved a riddle that had puzzled mankind
for many years-the source of the Nile river.
AS a youth, Chaille-Long fought with distinction
in the Civil war, says the Kansas City Times. de
entered as a private and came out a lieutenant
colonel. Then he figured in q chapter of our his
tory that is little known to the present generation
our military mission to Egypt. Khedive 1smail
wanted to reorganize his army and he wanted the
work done by men who would be free from the
petty interests and ~intrigues of the various Euro
pean countries, all of which were interested In
northern Africa. The khedive obtained the coop
Grafton of General Sherman, and in 1869 ten Amer
lean of1cers-half of them Federals and half for
mer Confederate commanders-wer sent to EGYPT.
Chaille-Long was one of the party, and be became
the widest known for his work in Africa. Some
of the others of the party were Generals Loring'
Libby and Stone, and Majors Morgan ana hennon'
Found Lake lbrahim.
Chaille-Long came under the influence OF the
famous "Chinese" Gordon, then campaigning In the
Sudan. He and Gordon designed the Notifications
of Tel-el-Kebir for the defense of Cairo, and Cor
don induced the American to explore the upper
Nile. In two shallops constructed of tough bark
Chaille-Long and two companions continued along
the river until they found Lake Ibrahim, now
known at Lake Choga. They found the bosom OF
the lake radiant with the great lotus, whose leaves
are strong enough to support the body of a child.
The party discovered that the river Issuing from
the Victoria Nyanza is the Nile, thus settling q
question that long had troubled geographers.
On this trip Chaille-Long and his two compan-
ions, both Egyptian officers, were attacked by a
force Of several hundred natives. The explorers
carried sheet-iron travelling cases. and barricaded

Just as we come to the conclusion
that there is not a possibility of any
thing new in blouses, something hap
pens in that line that has not happened
before. A charming and brilliant de-
sign makes its unexpected entry, diff
ferently cut, differently constructed or
showing a new management of color
which sets it apart from oil that have
gone before. AS long as the unlocked
for comes to pass in this fascinating
way we will keep right on buying
blouses, come what will in the way of
one-piece froCks.
A star among the new arrivals in
blousedom is shown in the picture.
This blouse is a beautiful and brilliant
green in georgette crepe, with all
seams and edges bound with satin to
match.
The sleeves are cut in one with the
yoke in a way that is clever and be-
coming, forming unusual lines that
are emphasized by the satin binding.
The fastening at the front is managed
in the most inconspicuous way with

small, satin-covered buttons, set Mt
close intervals, on the hem and snap
fasteners doing the real work. Their
is a moderately large collar, bound
with satin, and the plain sleeves are
finished in the same way at the wrist.
Bits of Paisley embroidery, sparingly
used, are set on the sleeves, at the
neck, and at the front of the belt, and
look as rich as jewels against the vivid
green background that seems, of all
colors, the best suited to them. For
the tourist this is perfection in a cos-l
tune blouse, because of its COLOR
which does not soil easily, and be-
cause Of its brilliance and style. 1t
will look we'll with a white or gray or,
tan skirt and cause the beholder to-
forget n black one. With a handsome
black hat it is equal to almost any
demand in the way of dress, where
something of formality is required. Ex-'
perience proves these thin, fragile-look-
ing blouses to be as durable as heavier
ones and easier than any other to car
ny along on a journey.

When a Red Cross chapter has been
formally organized, as directed in a
former article, then-and never in any
case before-should a public meeting
be called and a membership campaign
begun. In cases where a public meet
ing is called first, there is usually a
great amount of enthusiasm aroused,
hundreds and thousands of persons de-
sire to become members and begin
work at once-and there is no way to
accommodate them. Sometimes the
best men are not chosen leaders, and
In any case the proper organization is
hampered.
Then, because the people cannot be
enrolled and put at active work at
ono their enthusiasm wanes, and by
the time the chapter is formally or
ganized and ready to proceed, inter
est has abated.
But when a chapter has been prop
erly organized, and differed by men
and women in whom the community
has implicit confidence, and a member
ship campaign definitely mapped out
in advance, public meetings, press no
tees and all the forms of advertising
which a live committee may devise,
will be found of great advantage.
In the same way, the officers and
members of the executive committee
should learn everything possible about
the Red Cross, its purposes, its meth
DDS and the way in which Its work IL
carried on, and be ready to answer

terested in the study of cancer. He gave a great
deal of his time watching some of England's ia
nous physicians hard at work in the Imperial
Cancer Research laboratory, the Middlesex Hos
pital Cancer laboratory, and the laboratory pre-
sided over by Sir A. E. Wright, who originated
the idea of vaccination against typhoid. He visited
the Pasteur institute in Paris, and there saw
monkeys inoculated with the products of infantile
paralysis. Naturally he became greatly enthused
over the possibilities of serum %reatment and he
came home with the determination to make an
attempt to discover a serum to cure cancer, dia-
betes, goiter and pernicious anemia, the most diff
fcult chronic disease to fight. He has been sue
cessful in treating some remarkable cases Of
goiter without resorting to an operation. Many
cures of diabetes have been reported, and encour-
aging results have been obtained in pernicious
anemia.
Doctor Rogers treatment of the blood seems to
bring out remarkable energizing qualities. Just as
the latent energy residing in water may be con-
verified by application of heat into an expansive
vapor, steam, having a force capable Of driving
great engines and draw long, heavy freight trains,
and just as the latest energy residing in gasoline
may be transformed by infnitesimal sparks into
an expansive gas having a force capable of pro-
polling automobiles, airplanes and submarines at
a wonderful speed, so the latent energy in the
blood seems by the injection of a few drops of the
new serum directly into the veins, to be converted
into "antibodieS' which manifest their power and
activity in a thousand ways, and in an amount out
of all proportion to the tiny spark of substance
that inaugurated their activity or set them on fire.
Al interesting fact about this serum is that 1t
cannot be made by the wholesale and sold as a
patent medicine, because the patients own blood
must be used in making it. 1t Is created on the
basic principle that like cures like" and the
serum must be prepared individually for every
patient.
In acute bacterial diseases it Is now considered
good practice the world over to secure when
possible some of the germs causing the disease,
and then inject them, after being killed by heat and
suspended in a solution, into the patient whose
sickness they caused. Doctor Rogers afirms that
when he uses as a basis for his serum the blood
of a patient suffering from a chronic complaint he
undoubtedly collects some of these imperfect cells
which are causing the disease.

tional flag should be on the right side
of the building or lawn.
When the flag is used as q banner,
that is, suspended on rope across a
street, the union, or field, should fly
to the north in streets running east

Richmond school teachers who utter disloyal
sentiments will lose their jobs.
Superintendent Giles says the school board will
not retain any teacher in the school system who is
not heart and soul with the United States.
The superintendent this morning instituted an in
vestgation of reports that teachers have been voc
ing sentiments against the United States and in
favor of Germany.
The teachers, whose names have been reported to
the superintendent, so-caled German advocates.
One of the high school teachers this morning
characterized other teachers, who accused of dis
loyalty, as "blood-suckers," who are being paid
American money to teach American pupils in Ameri-
can schools and who are for Germany against the
United States"

Superintendent Giles also probed charges made
by the Womans Relief Corps against teacher in
one of the Richmond schools.
These charges said children in her class were not
permitted to sing America" Giles is inclined to
believe the charges are exaggerated.
Teacher Denies the Charge
The teacher, it is understood, denies the charge
and says the report may have grown out of her at
tempting to teach the children to sing "America"
less harshly.
Complaint was made several days ago by prom
inent Richmond woman that Quaker teacher in
east end school was teaching peace at any price"
doctrine.
