here the other day and discussed
plans for using the heretofore Afri-

The man agreed that the loss of
horses and mules could not be re
placed for many years, and, since
African elephants may be found in
vast numbers, and be tanned easily,
both felt positive that the allies
would assist in the shipment of the
big beasts.
"One elephant will do the work

has charge of the Belgian govern

Europe must be reconstructed and
