Journeyiing Through the Congo
Region with Isaac Marcosson
Splendid Character Sketch of General SHUTS in
Story of Trip in Central and
Southern Africa

AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE. BY Isaao
r. Marcosson. Published by John Lane
Company.
~ AN CHRISTIAN SHUTS, Premier
b of South Africa and former
a. Boer leader, whose genius as q
statesman and conciliator is now
being employed in the negotiations
which are going on for a settlement of
the thorny Irish problem, is the out
standing personality in Mr.. Marcos
sons account of his trip through
southern and central Africa.
The author spent a week with Gen
elal SHUTS at Capetown, and carried
away some very vivid impressions of
his character and ideas. SHUTS, as de-
ricted by Marcosson, is a man of i'm
finite patience and sagacity, practical
dealist whose high visions of future
world peace are always tempered by q
saving consciousness Of the realities of
the immediate situation. The choice of
SHUTS as a semi official mediator in the
Irish situation seems peculiarly happy
because, as a former officer in the Boel
army who is now defending the Brit
ish Empire against the attacks of the
more extreme Boer nationalists, he
may be expected to give adequate con
sideration to the viewpoints of both
sides
With his usual talent for persona
description, Mr.. Marcosson gives al
excellent account of the generals out
ward appearance and habits SHUTS
has lofty forehead, an arched nose
large mouth. His eyes are blue. HI
has the wiry and rangy body of mar
who keeps in good physical trim b.
constant exercise. His manner, al
though friendly, is reserved and un
demonstrative, and as a speaker hi

scores his points through logic rather
than through oratorical flights.
Taking leave Of General SHUTS, the
author starts on his trip. The Union
of South Africa is fourishing coun-
try, little affected by the business de-
worldwide since the end of the war
It's gold and diamond mines are among
the richest in the world. Perhaps the
mostserious cloud on its horizon, aside
from the minor friction between Brit
ish and Beers, is the race problem.
The natives outnumber the whites by
more than four to one in South Africa,
and the relations between the two
races have not always been peaceful
and harmonious.
The spell of Cecil Rhodes, the great
African adventurer and imperialist,
lies heavy upon Mr.. Marcosson. Wher-
ever he goes he finds traces of Rhodes 5
handiwork, and the book is veritable
collection of anecdotes about Rhodes
and Rhodes's associates. The great
colonial leader now lies buried in the
province which bears his name-in a
spot which he had himself chosen for
his grave, in the heart of the Matopo
Hills.
The great Congo River, with its in
Vulnerable tributary streams, waters
the heart of Africa. Mr.. Marcosson
encountered some of the most interest.

river in a slowly moving steamboat

the river are not so much addicted tt

{Reprinted by special arrangement
from Brentano's Book Chat
HAVE read accounts of exuberaEt
gentlemen who shout with laugh
ter while they create their char
acters and involve them in es-
capades. Personally, have always
doubted such accounts. Being nov
olist is just as much business as
being lawyer, an architect or
banker, and none of the members of
these professions shout with laughter
most concentrated. And yet they could
afford to display more levity than a
novelist, for in their professions COM
petition is not as great.
There are rarely more than ten sue
cessful novels in any year, out of the
vast number published. The success
full novelist of this year cannot count
on being the successful novelist of the
next. The average run of good for

five years. After he has suffered an
eclipse it requires twice the merit &c

CURED to place him. This being the
case there is every reason why gentle
men of my profession should feel ex.
cessively timid when they make their
first mark on the virgin page.
But long before the first sentence is
written the work has been commenced
My first idea for novel always comes
in the form of title. Usually the
title flashes on me as pure gift from
the gods. It's the only gift get. The
rest has to be earned. The Garder
Without Walls started with a title; Sc
did The Little House, so did The King

of these lay a philosophic idea which

to cut the body in various places, ag-
gravate the wounds by pouring in some
kind of liquid and shape the welts into
fantastic patterns. The book includes
pictures illustrating this practice.
Not even the wilds Of the Congo
have escaped the universal high cost of
living. Mr.. Marcosson was accom-
panied during part Of his trip by the
Belgian Colonial Minister, who was
bombarded with questions at one vii
lage about the increased price of salt.
The Congo region is rich In folklore.
The natives are especially fond of
animal stories, from which they often
draw moral. The author repeats sew
eral Of these tales, of which the fol-
lowing is typical:
zone day the elephant met the
shrew mouse on his road. 'Out of the
way!' cried the latter. 4 am the bigger
and it is your place to look out!' re-
piled the monster. Curse you'll re-
torted the shrew mouse, furiously

crushing him under his huge foot. Boil
curses have been fulfilled. From tina
! day the elephant wounds himself wher
he goes through the long grass and th'
shrew mouse meets her death whel
she crosses the road"
American business enterprise ha
penetrated even the remote districts
of the Congo. The author paid visi
to some engineers from the United
States whom he found hard at worl
developing the diamond mines Of TIL,
region.
Mr.. Marcosson has acquired deserved
fame as sort of super reporter--ar
inspired observer of men and things
The present book is fully up to his
customary standard. 1t sets the lif,
of large portion of the Dark Con
tinent before the readers eyes in {

drawn from personal experience ane
