ALWAYS TEEMING WITH LIFE
Noises of Animals, Birds, or Insects
Never Completely StiIIed in the
Jungles of Malay.

One may as well try to describe with
| justice the crater of an active volcano
as to describe the jungle of Malay.
| From without one sees a dense for
est of very irregular height and of the
most vivid green imaginable. Here
and there towering above the Others
one sees immense trees, 200 feet high
or more. From without the jungle
looks impenetrable, and so it is, except
by well-defined tracks, or by hacking
ones way through, as have done, for
$50 miles.
Within the jungle all is gloom, ex.
cept overhead, where one can see a
misty light that filters up through the
delicate foliage. All the trees shoot
straight up, there being practically no
horizontal branches from them. In
| fact, there are no trees that resemble
the oak or other short-trunked trees.
The ground is nearly always damp
or even SluShy in places, and infested
with land leeches that crawl up ones
clothing and gorge themselves on your
blood. The atmosphere is steamy, but
far cooler than out in the open. | have
taken the temperature just within the
| jungle, and found it to be about so de-
grees, but on placing the Thermometer
out in the sun it has rapidly reached
| the temperature of 14S degrees.
Early in the morning the jungle re-
sounds with the cries of the monkeys
just waking up. About $3.50 these
cease and the ordinary day noises Of
birds, and the steady hum of insects
prevail. The frequent tap of woodpeck-
ers, the croak of huge treefrogs and
the call of the peacock and argus
pheasant re-echo through the jungle.
Every now and then one hears famiI-
lar cock-o-doodle-doo and the clucking
of hen and imagines one must he
near a farm, until it is realized that
1t is only the jungle fowl, the ancestor
of all domestic poultry.
Toward sunset, about six o'clock,
there suddenly bursts out perfectly
deafening din of buzzing and shrieking
insects. 1t is. no exaggeration to state
that the noise of the insect life at sun
set makes it practically impossible To
hear oneself speak. This continues un-
til about seven o'clock, when darkness
has set in and then it dies away con-
siderably. Throughout the night one
hears all kinds of queer noises that
were absent during the day.
With luck, you may hear the growl
and roar of tiger, hunting some poor
animal. Frequently one hears great
commOtion among the birds and mOu-
keys that had been sleeping in some
tall tree, as their slumber is disturbed
by snake that has climbed up ami
caught one of them. A common sound
is the despairing shrek of a jungle
fowl caught by some wildcat. Occa-
Sionally ones sleep is disturbed by a
loud crashing of trees and the trum-
peting of a herd of elephants. In fact,
the jungle teens with life and death,

HELGOLAND FORTS
ORDERED STRIPPED
Allies to Raze Great German
Base in North Sea.
KEEL CANAL OPEN TO WORLD
German Warships Not Expected to Be
Disposed of in the Peace Treaty
Ownership of Cables to
Be Settled.

Paris, March 19.-The Notifications
formidable base in the North sea,
must be dismantled. This decision
was reached by the supreme war
council. 1t was decided also that the
Kiel canal should be internatiOnalized
and made available TO the ships of all
nations on even terms.
Disposal of German warships is not
likely to be included in the treaty of
peace, according to the view of the
American peace delegation. Germany,
however, will be required to surren-
der title to the ships. The ultimate
ownership will be determined later.
The British delegation to the peace
conference, it was announced, has
consented to refer to the supreme
council the question of the future
ownership of the German cables to
America. All parties interested in the
question are preparing briefs.
Hope to Reconcile Views.
Paris, March 19.-President Wilson
held an important conference with
Premiers Lloyd George, Orlando and
Clemenceau at the Paris white house.
This meeting of premiers, represent
ing the supreme directing forces of the
peace conference, takes the place of
the session of the supreme council.
which has been postponed.
The question to be discussed is the
large one OF securing accord between
the great powers on all phases of the
peace treaty and it's early presenta-
ton to the Germans. 1t is expected
an agreement will be reached as to
the inclusion of the league of nations
as an integral part of the peace treaty,
in accordance with the resolution which
has been already adopted by the peace
conference.
Special interest attaches to this con-
ference in view of recent reports of
divergences between the powers as to
the inclusion of the league plan in the
treaty. The meeting is looked upon as
an earnest effort to reconcile all views
into common understanding for an
early conclusions of peace in a COM
prehensive form, including military,
naval, economic and financial terms,
as well as the league of nations.

Answering the allegations of the indie

"How do such vast quantities of
weapons happen to come into the
hands of the criminal insurrectiOn-

the hands of so-called innocent per-
sons, and how is it that those weap-
Ons are regularly supplied with am
munition?"
Colonel Reinhardt recalled the re-
peated orders of the government for
the surrender of all weapons in un-
authorized hands, and he declared
that notwithstanding these orders the
