Great Grand-Daddy
of the Giraffe in
AntWerp, from Congo

LONDON, Sept. 13.-British
naturalists, who have been con-
fdently expecting that the only
live okapi in captivity was to be
brought to the geological gar
dens in Regents park. were dis
appointed today when the news
came from Antwerp that the ami
NAL had been brought there from
the Congo by DIR. Lebrum. 1t
was the gift of Nine. Landag-
heIn, whose husband is in the
Congo medical service.
The okapi is the survivor Of
a distant ancestor Of the giraffe.
An adult stands about five feet
high, and although 1t has the
general shape of the giraffe its
neck is relatively shorter and it's
forelegs are not so high in pro-
portion to the hind quarters.
The sides of the animals head
are light fawn color and the gen.
eral coloration of the body is a
dark purple The most striking
character is that the rump and
the upper part OF the legs are
transversely striped with black
and white. 1t was first known
in 1901, having been found in

LABOR MINISTER
IS DOMINATING
IN PARLIAMENT
Sir Robert Horne and Lord
Robert Cecil Hold
First Interest.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-In the opin-
ion of the man in the street, the
outstanding figures of parliament
are Sir Robert Horne. labor minis
ter. and Lord Robert Cecil, who sits
on one OF the green leather benches
in the house as an ordinary mem
Der.
Sir Robert Horne, whose charac-
Ter may best be described by the
nickname given him, Hail Smiling
Horne" gave up a law practice
worth $4,000 a year at the Scottish
bar TO become a member of the gov
eminent at $4,000. He won the
confidence Of labor in numberless
conferences, and recently has been
responsible for the firm handling
of the labor situation when the
apostles of direct action" gained
the upper hand among organized
workmen.
Robert Cecil is Mystery Man.
Lord Robert Cecil is described by
his friends as an "old member in a
new coat" and since his return from
the Paris peace conference has been
adding almost daily TO his reputa
ton. They call him the mystery
man" OF parliament. Once looked
upon as the type of Tory aristocrat
in politics he now seems ready 10
Guido the democrats In democracy.
Among his followers is a large band
OF enthusiastic young unionists, and
the labor men hail him as one after
their own heart. Everybody is ask
ing what party will lead, which way
will he turn.
Two other men are pointed out
as having added much 20 their
reputation-Sir Donald Maclean and
j. r. Clynes. Sir Donald led the
lone little band of Independent
liberals through the trying times Of
the session. At times he showed
such qualities Of leadership that
some Of the correspondents are Of
the opinion that he has given full
hope 10 a party which no longer de-
sires the return OF Mr.. Asquith to
its leadership
Nr. Clynes made a reputation as
food controller before entering the
house. and since that time has been
looked upon by the labor party as
their most reliable leader.

la TOILETTE TALKS 16
HOURS AGAINST MEASURE
TO LEASE PUBLIC LANDS

Washington, Aug. 30.-Maintaining
his average of four hours speaking a
day for the fourth consecutive day,
Senator La Toilette. republican, Wis
consin, today blocked plans of those in
charge of the public land-leasing bill
for a final vote before the Labor Day
recess. When the senate recessed to-
night until Tuesday, the Wisconsin
senator had spoken for l6 hours on
the bill, which, he charged, is mon
opoly measure for the benefit of the
Standard Oil Company.
The senate adopted a number OF
amendments, including one by Senator
La Toilette which would prohibit the
employment of boys under 16 years of
age, or girls and women irrespective Of
age. below the surface of mines opened
under the bill.
After the Wisconsin senator had OBJ
jected to the provision in bill which
would have permitted railroad companies
to obtain a separate lease on public coal
the ground that it would permit IL trunk
lines of railroad crossing portions Of
the public domain in the West, ito tie
up in leases 1000, 900 acres of coal
lands" the senate modified the provi-
sion. Railroads, under the bill as
amended, would be permitted only one
lease for each 200 miles of track within
the state in which the property was To-
Gated.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Strife which pre-

call the opening meeting Of the ma
tional convention to order here today
Delegates of the so.called left wing OF
the party We're forcibly put out of the
hall by policemen because Secretary
Germer said they We're trying to pack
the convention by seating delegates who

A fist fight between two delegates

Immediately after their expulsion

porters, led by John Reed of New York,

action. Reporters We're not allowed in
this meeting or in the main convention,

went on.
we are revolutionary socialists and
we don't want to talk to any reporters

Reed declared before he closed the
doors of the left wing caucus.
Members of the left wing who did not
heed the advice of Mr.. Reed said that
If they were not recognized in the con.
Vention they would organize a new
branch of the party.
Although many delegates were not
clear as to the differences between the
left and right wings of the party, the
principal differences appeared to be that
the left wing men want more enthusi-

as to suggest abolition of political ac.

in the party has been widening for some
time, and the trouble today was the
result OF this schism. Some said the
left wing wanted to adopt program

OWEN IN SENATE
SPEECH SAYS LODGE
IS BLIND PARTISAN
OKLAHOMA STATESMAN ALSO
DECLARES LEAGUE OPPONENT
DISTRUST THE PEOPLE

Washington, Aug. 30.-Replying in
the senate today TO arguments pre-
scented by Chairman Lodge of the for
eirn relations committee against un
reserved ratification of the peace
treaty, Senator owen, democrat, Okla
homa, declared Mr.. Lodge had been
blinded by partisanship and by a dis
trust of popular Institutions.
Referring to the committee chair
mans parallel between the League of
Nations and the ill-famed Holy AL
lance, Mr.. owen said the argument
had overlooked the intrigue and auto
cratic selfishness which surrounded
the alliance.
The fact that wars followed the
treaty of the Holy Alliance" he con
tinued was because this treaty was
between military dynasties, made by
monarchial autocracics, each controlled
by intrigue. The senator from Massa'
Chusetts believes that the promises OF
these royal scoundrels may be justly
compared with the promises and as.
pirations of the honest, organized de
mocracies of the whole world.
THE trouble with the senator from
Massachusetts is that he really be
lieves in the rule of the few over
many He does not believe the people
ought to have the right to initiate laws
they want or veto laws they do not
want. He looks upon them with less
confidence than he did upon the mill
tary autocracies, for the senator favor
ed a league in 1915, when the auto
cracies were i'm full flower
The galleries always applauded
when senator strikes an oratorical
pose and thunders forth his sturdy
Americanism. But the senator's Am
ericanism did not prevent him from
making an argument at Union college
in 1915 in favor of league of ma
tions. Am | going too far if ! appeal
from philip drunk to Philip sober"
"He is not. as he thinks, waging a
war against Woodrow Wilson. He Is
waging war against the desires ana
the hopes of all mankind. Let nm
beware of throwing himself and ms
blinded partisans across the path ol
the righteous judgment of mankind.

MIRAL KOi .CHAK

Paris, Aug. 30-A modernly equipped
German army of 10000 men has as
sernbled in Lithuania and IS preparing
to march into Russia under the pre-
tense of endeavoring to reach and help
Admiral Kochak, according to Lithu-
anian sources here. Word to this effect
was brought to Paris by Chief Engineer
Steibiko of the Lithuanian railway sys-
tenn, who declared the Germans talked
freely of a coming understanding be.
tween Germany, Russia and Japan.
In describing the situation to the cor
respondent, NJ. Steibiko said that the
large German forces which had re'oc'
cupied Lithuanian territory, from which
they have been several times ordered
away by both the Lithuanian govern
ment and Marshal Foch. were entrench'
ing themselves and preparing for
march through Russia. They call them
selves "Kolchakis" and pretend that
their immediate object is to cooperate
with the admral's forces.
The Germans have partly evacuated
the region, but since August /, accord
ing to NJ. Steibiko, they have been con
centrating troops anew in western
Lthuania, with their base at Shawl,
where they also have established a gen
eral staff. Their line of occupation from
north to south is Vilkovishki to the
mouth of the Dubissa river, thence Il
Radvishkis and on to Janishkis.
They are under the ostensible leader
ship of the Russian general, Bergman,
but their real commander. VI. SteibikO
declares, is the German general Won der
Goltz. They control the railway lines
in all the occupied territory. They num-
