Lady Mackenzie Plans Trip of

and Snakes-Land Of
Biq Animals.

New York.-Heading an expedition
to East Africa, which has as it's OBJ
ject the exploration of the Tana river
and the hunting of big game, Lady
Mackenzie, the woman huntress, Is
in New York completing details of the
trip and arranging to dispose of tro-
phies obtained in two expeditions she
already has made to Africa.
Upon her arrival at Mombasa, At
RIGA, she will remain several days, SUI
perintending the shipment of nine tons
of trophies she has stored there.
These include many rare specimens of
heads and skins of animals and will
be presented to the Bronx Geological
museum, the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Smithsonian instltu-
ton, and other institutions.
One rare trophy Is the head and skin
of q garanak, an animal with neck
and head like giraffe, which is sell
dom seen in the open, according to
Lady Mackenzie, who shot the beast.
In her forthcoming expedition Lady
Mackenzie said she would be accom-
panied by f. Postma, who was with
her on her other hunting trips. Will

The Tana river, Lady Mackenzie
said, is one of the most treaeherous
streams in the world. 1t is full of
whirlpools, waterfalls and dangerous
rapids. At places along its winding
course the forests are so dense that
travel Is possible only by literally
climbing over the tops of the trees.
The length of the river is estimated ut
from 1000 to 5000 miles.

BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS
More Boys Are Born In Times of Hard

London.-More babies were born In
England during August than In any
previous month since the beginning of
the war. Official returns show the

Col. Edwin Jadwin, now In command
Of one of the engineer regiments in
France, disregarded war department
red tape, formalities and regulations,
to get his troops over to France fully
equipped for work. The record made
by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men
speedily ready for service and the etfi-
cheney of his work has already been
the subject of widespread comment In
army circles. 1t develops now that the
reason for his success was primarily
due to the fact that he ignored red
tape membranes which are required
legally by the present system. 1t will
be for Secretary Baker to decide
whether Col. Jadwin is to escape the
remonstrance that attaches to his
course or whether he will be COM
mended for his initiative and his sue

the month of grace during which the
policy was in force, and one for the
month in which reinstatement Is made.
This is very generous provision, and
will make it possible for all eX-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again in their normal civil life. Indeed,
| look for very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
act and 1t is made known to all those
who are affected.
1.-THE bureau appreciates tremendous
ly the cooperation it has had from
the insurance officials and the men of
the insurance profession, and it Is to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the ex-service men by encour-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private companies. It is my per-
sonal opinion that all ex-service men
in such instances should combine in
their disapproyal of such action, and
should in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty of such practices. Indeed,
In the years to come, feel confident
that in such cases where eX-service
men have been advised In such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance, that there will be at least
one man In the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust. and that will be the I'M
scrupulous agent who in time of test
was found wanting"

AFFECTING the compensation features of
the act, and those concerning war
risk insurance.
very important proposed amend
ment, and one which meets with wide
spread approval, is the upward revi-
sion or the schedule Of compensation
payable to disabled ex-service men.
Under the present schedule man to-
tally disabled is entitled to $50 a
month, If single. The amendment
raises this by $50, making $50 pay
able under these circumstances. If he
mas wife but no child living he gets
$40; the amendment provides 500. If
ne has wife and one child, he draws
at present, 500; the amendment gives
him 500.
Extend the Provisions.
The law now provides that if man
loses both hands, both feet, or the
sight of both eyes, or becomes helpless
and permanently bedridden, he shall
receive 500 month compensation.
Experience has shown that many men
who have lost an arm and leg, or one
limb and the sight Of one eye, are just
as badly crippled as men who have
lost both feet or both hands, and so
the bureau has recommended that in
addition to the injuries at present en-
fitting man to compensation at the
rate of 500 month, the following
shall be included: The loss of one foot
and one hand; the loss of one foot and
the sight of one eye. These are deem
ed total and permanent disability" by
the express wording of the amend
ment There is also provision that
for double total permanent disabil-
ity," meaning cases in which men are
manned SO seriously that their injuries
include two of these classifications. the
compensation shall be 5000 a month.
The bureau has found very wide
spread sentiment among ex-service
men in favor of having their policies
made payable in lump sum, or in in
stallments covering short period of
time, at their option. To meet this
demand Director Cholmeley-Jones has
urgently recommended modification
of the war risk insurance act to permit
making provision in the contract for
converted insurance for optional set
Elements on the part of the insured,
making such insurance payable either
In one sum or in installments for thir-
ty-six months or more.

GeneaIoay Of the Germans

The claim is made that the various Euro
pean nations have resulted from a mixture
of the original primitive inhabitants with
the Tcutons who overran them during the
later migrations; but that in Germany. ON
the other hand, Teutons were merely mixed
with Teutons, and thus the race here ret
mained pure In fact, however. skeletons
and other remains show conclusively that
there was a race of primitive inhabitants in
Germany as well. going back as far as the
diuvial period. AT the time Of the Cimric
invasion and later, when the stream of the
TeutOnic migrations burst upon them, this
population partly migrated, or at least with
drew into the mountainous regions partly
perished and partly mingled with the new
comers. A primitive population dwelt here
as well as in the other European countries
at time when the rhinoceros and the ele-
phant still roamed through Europe. Even
as late as the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries the French were the more likely
to be called Germans.-Dr. G.. F. Ncolai, in

When a Soldier Suffers

Ask any wounded soldier what is the worst
part of war. says Captain A. =. Corcorau
in 1.-The Daredevil of the Army and he
will not tell YOU that it is the mud or the
monotony or the tcrrors of the hand to hand
attack, but the nightmare after he has been
restored to the normal again in a hospital
back of the line. Ask any nurse what she
finds hardest to bear in her work in the
wards. 1t is not the foul smell of blood nor
the filth of trench clothes nor the mangled
flesh of the operating table. 1t is the drawn
faces of the men, the haunted narrowed look
that stares at her out of their sorrowful
eyes or it is the shrill, .cerie cry that wakes
the ward in the night, when the mans mind
reproduces the old misery in nightmare.
1t is in retrospect that some soldiers suffer
most. That is why death is sometimes
preferable to manned life.

is EDUCATION A LUXURY?

TEACHERS in all the schools and col
i leges of the United States are under
paid The fault does not lie chiefly
with boards of education or boards of
trustees. 1t must be traced finally to
point of view that is general among all
classes of people. who accept the educa
tional system for granted and assume
that it will move and function of its own
accord without serious attention or con-
sistent help.
DR.. J. Russell Smith has done service
to the teaching profession of the country
by dramatically calling attention to the
low salaries paid assistant professors in
the Pennsylvania faculty. But it is only
fair to realize that the conditions at the
University are paralleled at almost every
similar institution in the country. The
public has not yet been willing to recog
nize the full value of learning or it would
respond more amiably when efforts are
made to obtain, through appropriations,
or by endowments, funds adequate to
pay living wages to teachers.
Meanwhile those in the teaching pro-
fessions are at a great disadvantage.
Men and women in the trades unions
have been able to meet the wage question
through their organizations and collec-
tive bargaining. No such recourse is
available to teachers and ministers.
Schools and churches theref0rs require
consistent sacrifice from those who Off
ciate in them. The churches and the
schools are essentials of modern life.
They cultivate and sustain those ethical
concepts that are the foundation of
order. Yet they are consistently neg
zIected.
Is the time coming when we are to
admit that education is luxury which
the richest country in the world cannot
afford?

POLITICS IN KHAKI

YoUNG Colonel Roosevelt's prospec-
tive place in the political life Of
America continues to excite the interest
and curiosity of farsighted men in both
parties because of the intensive cam
paign being engineered somewhere in
the background to keep him in print.
Is Soldiers Party coming to chal-
lcnge the Democrats and the Republi-
cans?
Some such development seems less re-
mote now than it was when Colonel
Roosevelt returned from France. There
will be about four million men in
America by 1920 with sentimental at
tachment to the military service. But
political managers may easily look be-
vond them TO their brothers and fathers,
and even to their mothers and sisters,
Tor votes which might be available for a
candidate supposed to represent the
larmy's sentiments.
Time will show whether the politicians
who seem determined to base their ap-
rsals upon sentiment at future elections
