zuLUs IN BIG GAME DRIVE.
Whole Tribes, at Prospect Of Meat

johannesburg, South Africa, Sept.
PA great game drive is in prog
ress in Zululand, with the object of
stopping the, ravages of the tsetse
fly, which is fatal to equines and
boyines.
Whole tribes of Zulus, attracted by
the prospect of unlimited meat, are
taking part in the drive. They are
mostly armed with assagais, the ma
tive spears
1t is thought, however, that the size
of the drive is defeating its own OBJ
ject. The wild creatures have be-
come panic stricken and the
ludicrous situation now exists of the
hunters having become the hunted.
The great Gordon of white men and
Zulus has been broken in several
places by charging herds of FRANTIC
zebra and other animals, and the
hunters have been compelled to split
up into small parties for their own
safety.

trade in Austria than it was on the

The country, is full of military ma
terial while Hungary, Poland, and
Jugo- Slavia are munitions hungry
and the result is to make a market
so tempting that the risks are dis
regarded. If the socialist organs are
to be credited. however, at least some
of the trade is done under the au-
spices of certain Entente govern
ments as well as the conservative ele
ment Of the Austrian government.
Within the last few days the police
made known that they had discovered
an organization for running military
material into Hungary and made two
arrests. One of the men was an en-
ploye OF the Wollersdorf munitions
factory, a government plant. Work
mems councillors have a good or
ganization and are constantly on the
watch for railway shipments Of arms
and cartridges, but in one govern
ment office it was admitted that for
every carload detected and stopped
nine got away over the frontiers.
Frederick Adler, the socialist leader
has declared that great quantities of
arms Were being Struggled from the
country and it was the duty of the
workmen to find way to stop It,.
