The plot of the play is laid in
Central West Africa.
Mueno and Chali two, chiefs are
discussing the slave girl Wimbu
who is the property of Mueno.
Chali is DESTROYS of obtaining the
girl for his nephew Nambi
A deal is made whereby she is
sold to the Christian youth and the
goods are what the Christian gives
for the natives as brides. Mueno has
five wives, two of whom are in this
entertainment.
Mueno is crafty and finds out he
can make better trade and so
steals the girl and sells her for a
higher price.
The search for the girl follows,

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages hat famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means al
the very least a minimum Of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,82O,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark

Most of Russia Is already in the

not single country in which the fu-

In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as

Of Serbia, must be included in this

SANTA CRUZ co.
WAR DRAFTSE
ALL RECORDS

The records of the Santa Cruz
County War Draft Board are to be
sealed and sent to the War Depart
ment. The ruling is made by the de-
partment in order "to guarantee
proper and just administration of
the war risk insurance act" In
many cases future pension enact
men'ts will depend upon the records
of the county boards, which will have
also vital relations to charges of de-
sertion and delinquency.
In a large measure it will be from
analysis Of these records that the
history of the war will be compiled.
From them must be drawn also in
formation of the highest value with
regard to the power of the country
for any future war.
Then there is much statistical in
formation that will be gathered from
these records. They disclose that
Santa Cruz county furnished 173
registrants for the United States
army. The total number registered
was 1929, of whom 1,006 were reg
istered in 1917, and 623 in 1918 and
out of that number 1000 question
aires were forwarded to 1000 regis
trants. When the armistice termi-
mated the war there were over 600
,questionaires that had been mailed,
but recalled all those registrants
between the ages of SO and As in
cluded in those whose questionaires
were recalled.
Great credit is due the Santa Cruz
county draft board for its efficiency
and promptness in handling the great
volume of business thrown upon it,
handling several hundred cases,
weighing testimony given in claims
for exemption and making final de-
cisions.
When the board first began its
work it had offices in the old Ma
sonic Hall, now the Jones building,
on Morley Avenue, opposite the ice
plant of the Nogales Electric Light
& Power Company. The board en-
braced Sheriff R. R. Earhart, chair
