the article by Mr. Sterling Heilig

Of your issue Of July 18th, that I

sole survivor of the Congo expedi-

To detract from the name of Mr..
Ward, even were such thing pos
sible, is far from my intention. All
I wish is to correct an error. Mr..

death, the sole survivor of the expe-

that was not started off with the read

much laughter.
II the layman thinks the life OF a

chloroform to a dying pet poodle, and
TO be later accused of killing my dear

OF the landlady's hose, is among fun

Reverend Golden-Howes recalled many
similar incidents keeping his audience
in an up-roar.
How well he is impressed with Ard

by the fact that he makes his home in

call some Of his experience in army life,

with the civic pride that every Euro
pean seems TO possess, also their love
for home. Home. TO them is the most
sacred thing" he said. "and l really
