NOBOOK AGENTS ON
CANNIBALS MENU

People who never heard OF German
'kultur,' still thought the earth was
fat, and never saw a book agent" as
the lecturer whimsicalIy described
them, were shown in motion pictures
before the National Geographic So
ciety yesterday afternoon and last
evening by Martin Johnson, who spent
many months in the South Sea Islands
cunning" for Cannibals, piSmies. and
other savages with motion picture
cameras.
Mrs. Johnson. who accompanied
him and did not see another white
woman for a year, also told of her
adventures One picture showed Il
native chief and his four wives. The
chief became exceedingly annoyed
when Mr.. Johnson declined to eN-
change his wife for the n1tive quar-
tet.
'.The so-caIled South Sea area Mr.
Johnson explained. covers one-tenth
of the globes surface, comprises about
90 OOO. 600 people. and 100000 Of these
are as savage today as they have oeen
for centuries"
Native public skull houses" were
shown, where souvenirs of enemy
raids are kept, in addition TO the
personal trophies of that kind to be
seen in the native thatch rooted huts.
The natives of the solomon ISLANDS
are wonderful navigators, Mr.. john
son explained. as he showed them go
ing 10 sea in canoes in when theE
made long cruises. One little four
vear-old savage seemed fully able to
manage a canoe all by himself.
Mrs, Johnson told stories OF the
peculiar pidgin English which the
shore natives speak. About 400 dis
tinct tongues are spoken by various
island tribes Their isolation is shown
by the fact that often the savages OF
one island are unable to understand
the language Of those On nearby
shores.

a better chance with Americans than
in Britain in the coming years.
America is so young a nation; we
are so old. Americans will take this
war in their stride; we have to climb
laboriously over it. America is left
buoyant; we, with the rest Of Eu-
rope, are bound to lie for long years
afterward in the trough Of disillus-
sionment.
America is an eager nation. She

American people. I should say ii was
