JOHN DANIEL DIES,
MARTYR TO CIRCUS
Captive Gorilla Succumbs to
Pneumonia at Garden Despite
Medical Care.
LONGED FOR THE JUNGLE
Only One Of His Kind on Pub
lie Exhibition and a Fine
Specimen.
ONGED FOR THE JUNGLE

John Daniel, the only gorilla in cap
tivity and one of the big attractions Of
the Barnum & Bailey and Ringing
Brothers Circus this year. died yester-
day in a bed in the tower Of Madison
Square Garden, where for several days
he has had private room and a pri-
vate nurse and private physician.
The physician and the nurse said that
the big gorilla died of pneumonia, but
all OF the animal men with the circus
know that while John Daniel may
have had pneumonia, the thing that
killed him was homesicllness for the
trees and underbrush of the African
Jungle. He died in a bed. and he
should have died in a den in the deep
forests.
John Daniel was born in the Congo
some four years ago, and In that short
space Of time he had reached the height
of four feet and four inches and the
weight of 1873 pounds and was still
growing. He has been captive for
about three years, mostly in England
and Germany. and was brought to the
United States by the Hagenbecks. the
animal people OF Germany, and sold to
the Barnum and Bailey and Ringing
Brothers Circus for 100000. John Dan
lei has always been gentle. so much 50
that one OF his owners. woman, Kept
him III her room and taught him numcr-
Gus tricks, all OF which increased his
value for exhibition purposes.
But the big gorilla had always been
lust Intelligent enough to be unhappy
in his civilized surroundings. AS every
one who has visited the circus this year
knows, the gorilla had uncannily human
eyes and actions. but particularly his
eyes seemed always to be saying that
he was very unhappy His lonesome
ness becane 80 pronounced not many
days ago that the owners OF the circus
held a consultation OF their animal men
10 decide what could be done. They
finally put John Daniel in the CUSTODY
of Roy Clark, who has a way with mon
KEYS. but even that didn't lift the big
gorilla out of his depression
The weather has been bad and a few
DAYS ago John Daniel became i'll with q
cold IN the head, which quickly spread
TO the bronchial tubes and the lungs
Pneumonia developed, just as it had
finally developed in the lungs of all the
other gorillas which from time to time
man has made captive.

Paris Temps Says New Rep

PARIS, April 17.-Cognizance is taken
by the Temps in its leading editorial

reparations offer by Germany.
"It is declared" says the Temps.

NAL from Rome" The newspaper de-
clares it would not be surprised to
learn that the Vatican in fact was
taking such action.
There is much ado m Berlin concern

German Government is reported to have
transmitted to the United States Govern
ment," the Temps continues. I'VE can
only see in such a move another attempt
at diversion. II Germany were pre-
pared sincerely to recognize her respon-
sibility and was resolved to pay TO the
full limit of her resources. as she was
invited to do by the United States, she
would not adopt such circuitous methods
and try to set America UP against the
European Allies.
Were Germany sincere she would not
attempt to evade the fixing Of the
amount OF her debts by opening a de-
bate upon an international loan and
upon the amounts owed The United
States by the Allies"
"By the way" continues the news
paper. who is governing now in Berlin?
Careful observers doubt If DIR. Slmons

One of First Tasks-Sees
Only Harmony Ahead.

Italy aims chiefly at being an
active element in pacified world. "
Y. Rolandi Ricci. the new Italian am
bassador, declared yesterday in a
formal statement.
Italy feels that she deserves COM
plete confidence" said the ambassa-
dor. "and trusts that such confidence
she will find in the United States
italy has many interests in common
with TINS country, while not one of
the many questions which are the
OBJECT of diplomatic intercourse at
present offer any possibility of dis
agreement between the two coun-
tries.
''One of my tasks is that of taking
up with the American government,
whenever they will so wish, the mat
nected with the loans granted by the
government of the United States to
the Italian government in past years.
u feel confident that good will on
both sides will prevail and an equita-
BILE arrangement found whereby the
two parties will be satisfied. both
oeing well aware of the positive and
practical facts under consideration"
Italy Gains Political Power.
Discussing conditions in Italy. the
ambassador said that pessimistic judg-
ments abroad of the present condl-
tions in Italy was generally due
either to misinformation or lack of
understanding of the feelings and
intentions of the Italians.
The Italians are. above all, prac-
teal people," he said. 'They love
liberty and know very we'll that the
abuse of liberty is detrimental to lib
erty itself.
Public conditions in Italy are not
worse than in any other country in
Europe.
The acquisition of her natural
frontiers as result of the Rapallo
treaty has made Italy practically as
powerful as any other powerful coun-
try in Europe"

New York, where on Monday he will
