help came from sympathizers abroad
Thus, in the year 1884. town was
founded in the newly acquired Bassa
Land, which was called Edna, in ac.
acknowledgement Of substantial aid sent
to the colony from Edinburgh.
Meanwhile. the name Liberia had
been invented for the country by the
missionary, r. r. Gurley, and as such
in 1S47 1t declared itself an independ-
ent republic, and was recognized by
most OF the powers. 1t was during
these early years that all the great EN-.
igrations took place. Freed slaves. ne.
groes and mulattoes, came over to the
West African settlements in a steady
stream, and the little state began to dis.
play considerable prosperity. Numer-
GUS churches and schools were founded
a regular postal system was introduced.
newspapers were established, and slav-
cry in the neighboring states was abol-
ished.
Much of this prosperity Liberia owed
to its presidents, for it has had several
notable presidents, such as j. j. Rob
erts and the famous President Arthur
Barclay, a man of unmixed negro de-
scent. President Barclay was elected
in 1904 and reelected in 1907, and un-
der his guidance the Liberian govern
ment steadily extended it's influence
amongst the indigenous tribes of the
country, which, up to that time, had
been specially tenacious OF local indie
pendence. During all these years. how.
ever the ship of the Liberian states
had ever been in more or less troubled
waters. First ii was a difficulty with
France and the United Kingdom about
boundaries, then 1t was the great H.
nancial question, and then again It was
the native question" SO II came abous
that in July, 1910, the government Of
the United States, acting in general
agreement with the United Kingdom.
France and Germany, took charge Of
the finances, military organization, aG.
riculture and boundary questions of the
republic. The policy was productive
Of the best results, but Liberia still
continued to be a land Of unrest. Thus
when Daniel Howard was elected Pres.
ident in 1912. he Immediately got into
difficulties with Germany because OF
insults offered TO German merchants.
German gunboats forced an apology,
but, next year, Liberia retaliated by
granting special privileges TO English
traders. And now the little republic is
in the war.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
FOR LIBERIA

Christian Science Monitor: Liberia.
the negro republic on the west coast Of
Africa, has peculiar interest for the
student Of nationalism. 1t is true that,
from the history of the country, no one
would be inclined to pronounce the ex.
pertinent of negro self-government a
definite success. When, however. the
origin of the country is considered,
and the difficulties which the Liberians
have had to contend with. it must be
conceded that the outlook is, at any rate,
encouraging.
Liberia had its beginnings something
more than a hundred years ago. At
that time, towards the close of the
Eighteenth century, the abolition Of sla.
very was just beginning to be advanced
as concrete policy, and there came
along with 1t, of course, the question
OF repatriation. The northwest coast OF
Africa was early regarded as a suitable
district in which to form a colony for
returned slaves, and after one or two
experiments at other points, Cape Me-
surado was finally chosen by the Amer.
lean Colonization society as an appro-
pirate site for the first detachment of
American freed negroes. In the De.
cember Of 1921, a treaty was concluded
by Lieutenant Stockton with certain
native princes, by which tract Of land.
in this region, fit for the purpose was
acquired, but several months passed
before the hostility Of the natives
could be overcome. At length a start
was made in the matter of organization,
and the society assigned a thirty.acre
tract OF land to each man who had
come over, also supplying him with the
means Of cultivating ii. The society,
however, seemed to be confronted, at
every turn, by difficulties, and in a
short time its agents went back to
America, taking with them those of
the colonists who desired to return. IL
was then That the future Liberians be.
gan to justify their existence. There
arose amongst them leader in the per-
son OF the negro. Elijah Johnson and
the little colony rallied round him,
and straightway began to prosper. New
tracts Of land were acquired, new set.
Elements were formed, and as the aims
of the colony began to be better known,
