WIDE TRAVELLER
 TOURING NORTH TO WRITE BOOK


 The decision of the peace confer ence not to return any of Germany's former possessions te her is not only justifiable but commendable, in the opinion of Mrs. Charlotte Cameron, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical So ciety of London, a noted writer ana widely travelled, who is visiting Fair banks at present. Mrs. Cameron is touring the North gathering material for a new book and getting first hand information to a number of publica tions flor which she is accredited cor respondent.
 In 1913 she started out on a trip, t aveling alone as usual. which covered 27,OOO miles and taking in most of Africa, penetrating to remote spots where a white woman had previously been unknown. She visited British French, Belgian and German colonies in Africa on this journey and>is thoro. ly familiar with German methods of colonization. which she describes as brutal to the last degree. It is her own observations which convince hel that Gelnan treatment of native poL alations in African colonies has forfeited her right to ever again re- gain her former possessions.
 Mrs. Cameron is an inveterate trav. eler. a real explorer who is always going to new places for the joy oi avoling. All her life she has been on the go, preferring to go alone.

She continued this activity until she came to America last summer, and since that time she has visited many larg> cities in the United States lee turing in the interests of the Red Cross, and thousands of people hay. heard her descriptions of journeys tc far places.

While there she de. livered a splendid address on the oc casion of the Festival of the Wild Rose, at which she was the honor guest.
