Modern Noah's Ark
Takes Animals to
Zoo at Antwerp
Famous Belgian Show Place
Being Restocked by Beasts
Born in Bronx Gardens:
New Is Shipment Planned

a yeritablc Noah's Ark is the good
ship Englantier now somewhere on
the high seas, carrying hundreds of
small animals from this city to the
Belgian port, Antwerp. This shipload
Of animals, shortly to be followed
by another, is the contamination of a
promise made two years ago by DR..
William T. Hornaday, director of the
Bronx Geological Gardens, that the
moment the war was over he would
ship animals to Antwerp. whose zoo had
been depleted as result of the war.
In all, 369 animals of 162 species
are being sent. They consist of sixty
eight individual mammals OF forty
one species; 232 birds, representing
1903 species; sixty-nine reptiles of
eighteen species. Most Of the ami
mails We're born at the Geological Gar
dens.
Now another more interesting story
is told by the officials of the Ameri-
can management of the Lloyd Royal
Beige Steamship Company at 141
Broadway. When the authorities of
Antwerp were notified by the Ger
mans that they must capitulate the
city or suffer it to be hombarded,
they went into conference. At first
it appeared as though the enemy
would be defied

est and largest in Europe, is located
in the very heart of the city. when
it looked as if the authorities Svould
rather submit to bombardment than
agree to evacuation, it was decided
by the Zoo authorities to kin all the
lerocious beasts for fear that q stray
she'll might smash the cages and set
the wild occupants free. Soon there
occurred a great slaughter of lions,
tigers, hyenas and other blood-thirsty
animals.
and the rest Of the Zoos denizens
were permitted to live. In time, how
ever, food became scarce and since
men, women and children had to be
provided for first application was
made to the Committee for Relief in
Belgium to add to its shipments
y sUtfic lent quantity Of foodstuffs to
keep the remaining animals nour-
ished. This was turned down by Her
bert Hoover, who explained that since
food was so precious and delivery so
the question. Consequently the Zoo
authorities signed a wholesale death
warrant for their dumb charges, ANA
one b. one they were killed of.
1t was then that Dr.. Hornaday made
his promise and VI. Arthu Brys Of
Antwerp. President of the Lloyd Royal
Beige and one Of the leading hackers
Of the Antwerp Zoo, offered all the
needed cargo space for the transporta-
tiot of the Zoos new population, de-
spite the fact that freight space is
precious and expensive.
another cargo is TO leave in ten
days on the lndier, consisting Of jag
uars, bears, bison and bulls, deer,
sheep, goats, 3 chimpanzee and mon
keys.
