His Reelection Is Held AS
sured BY Party
Leaders.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The
thought uppermost in the minds of
Republican leaders Of the House in
planning today for the reorganization
meeting Monday night, was that their
majority might be too big to handle.
BY actual count, the Republican
majority in the new House will be
169 or more than three to one, and
some leaders expressed anxiety that
the new men who came in with the
November landslide, and who are
here for the meeting might want to
take a hand in selecting officers TO
serve for the next two years.
The opinion generally was express
ed, however, that Speaker Gillett and
Representative Mondell, of Wyoming
the Republican leader, would be re-
elected. Their friends say they will
be unopposed.
Representative KndtJ,l Of Winnie
sofa, Republican whip expects oppo-
sition. The all-powerful committee
on committees, which makes assign
ments to the various standing COM
mittees, will be named at the con-
ference and the chances are that most
of the present members will hold ov-
er. Election of steering committee
may be deferred.
Leaders predicted there would be
no important changes in the heads oil
the big committees, and that the
seniority rule would still hold. Chair
man Esch, of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, will retire, and his
place probably will be taken by Rep
resentative Winslow, of Massachu-
sets, ranking Republican member.
A threatened fight against Chair
man volstead, of the Judiciary Com
mittee, was said to have about peter
ed out.
In anticipation of a call by Mr..
Harding for special session to begin
about the first of April, most OF the
House leaders will remain in Wash
ington to have business in shape for
the opening
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, who is slated for Democrat
ic leader to succeed Champ Clark
who retires March 4, hopes to be
back in harness for the new session.
Reports indicate that he is steadily
gaining his old-time strength. In
the event Mr.. Kitchin/ should decline
to assume the heavy burdens, which
fall upon the office, fight will be
made for the election of Representa-
tive Garrett, of Tennessee.
Because of the small number of
Democrats in the House, reports have
spread that Democratic representa-
ton on committees will be rather
sharply reduced.

Surgeons agree that in cases OF
Cuts, Burns, Bruises and Wounds,
the first treatment is most important.
When an efficient antiseptic is ap-
piled promptly, there is no danger of
infection and the wound begins to
heal at once. For use on man or
beast, Borozone is the ideal Antisep-
tic and healing agent. Buy it now
and be ready for an emergency. Price

GERMANS To PAY
OR fight BELIEF
Allied Military Plans To
Cross Rhine Very APP
parent.
By c. F. Bertelli.

Paris, Feb. 25.-Under a huge
camouflage bespeaking 1.-THE making
of peace" the allied governments to-
day are actively preparing warlike
measures which, If not stopped, will
result within few weeks in the arm
ed occupation of large part OF Ger
many.
The general staff of the allied ar
mics, now meeting in Paris under the
craftsmanship of Marshal Foch, has
drawn Up a detailed plan calling for
an advance along the Rhine the mo-
ment the Supreme Council sitting in
London, gives the word, which is ex-
pected as soon as the Germans have
definitely refused to pay the enor'
nous indemnity exacted under the
Paris agreement
While the reports of the contem-
plated general mobilization are Of
ficially denied, observers consider II
most significant that the speech OF
minister of War Barthou of the Cham
Der of Deputies contained the follow
ing:
"The army is ready for all event
ualities."
Furthermore, the stoppage of army
leaves today was officially confirm
ed
Troops Are Moved.
simultaneously large movements OF
troops to the Rhine were reported
this morning together with the move
ment of trainloads of supplies and
munitions.
Summed up, judging from events
as learned, it can not be denied any
longer that the long-dreaded invasion
of Germany is about to commence.
News from Berlin states that For
eign Minister Won simons has warned
the inhabitants of the Rhine prov
inces:
1--WE may have to submit to sad
dening events"
In addition the population OF
Frankfort is reported fleeing in large
numbers to Prussia to avoid being
caught in the grip of the French oc-
eupying forces
The exact plans of the war lords is
held very secret, but from the high
est sources. / am enabled to affirm
that the immediate occupation Of the
Ruhr is not envisaged by Marshal
Foch, who is considering that the
blow should be struck at Bavaria with
troops occupying Frankfort and

The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1921-04-28

the birds of Paradise can afford to wear
gay colors; but if there were many hawks
and eagles, it is probable that they would
be eaten up very soon because bright
plumage attracts the attention of these
pirates of the air.
Papua abounds in pigeons of all kinds,
from the Goura or crowned pigeon, which
weighs as much as four pounds to a tiny
little pygmy with brilliant coat of grass
green feathers and a forehead of bright
magenta.
Little is known of the natives of the in
terror, but those on the coast are we'll
shaped and have very dark skins. Their
lips are much thinner than those of the
negro. Their hair sticks out all round
their heads like an old-fahioned mop, and
resists the pressure of the hand like
closely-trimmed beard. One of these
savages gave utterance to a yell of ter
ror on being shown looking-glass, and
perhaps we should do the same if we sud-
denly saw our reAexion for the first time.
The old men told Russian traveller that
until recent years fire was unknown, all
food being eaten in raw condition. Now
adays some of them procure fire by strik-
ing sparks from the hinty surface of
bamboo stem with piece of pottery; but
in most places when the fire goes out, they
simply beg a few glowing embers from
the neighbors next door.
There are many different tribes, and
their languages are so unlike that the ma
tives of neighboring villages are often I'M
able to understand each other. On the
whole the natives are gentle in their man

PAPUA OR NEW GUINEA

1t is supposed that Papua was joined
to Australia about four million years ago,
and so it is not surprising that forty-four
of its animal inhabitants have pouches like
the kangaroos.
In Australia the kangaroos feed in the
open plains; but as Papua is covered with
a dense growth of jungle, the kangaroos
that live there are slowly learning to
adapt themselves to life in the trees. Their
hind legs are becoming shorter; their
claws are changing to hooks, so that they
can cling to the tree-trunks, and they are
getting accustomed to eating leaves instead
of grass. They leap from one bough to
another, but they are still very awkward
at climbing. These tree-kangaroos make
very aAectionate pets, and they love to
follow their masters wherever they go.
There is wild dog in Papua called
the dingo. He lives mainly on fruits and
vegetables, and never barks. He seems
to be much better behaved than the Aus
tralian dingo, which often kills the settlers
sheep.
The gorgeous birds of Paradise are
found only in Papua and two of the small
islands in the Moluccas. These birds have
no equal in brilliancy of color and in the
grace and beauty of their form. One
species has such a perfect cascade of fine,
soft feathers floating out behind it as it
flies, that it is obliged always to travel
against the wind in order to avoid be-
coming entangled in its own tail. As there
are practically no birds of prey in Papua,

ners; they respect their women folk, and
are extremely fond of children. There
are no chiefs or kings in some parts of
Papua, each village being little republic
by itself. The old men meet together to
settle disputes and to impose fines on the
wrong-doers. They are very severe on
those who speak evil of their neighbors
and repeat gossip. They have a saying:
"What the eye sees not and the ear hears
not, that must no man say" Those who
tell tales about others must pay a fine
which is divided up among the heads of
the families.
Their houses are perched on open
wooden frameworks. The flooring is
made of sticks rudely tied together and
widely spaced; but this is rather an adj
vantage than otherwise, because it allows
the garbage and rubbish to drop through
into the water below where it is snapped
up by the crocodiles, instead of accumu-
lating on the floor. They make their fires
on clay hearths, so that they will not set
their houses on fire.
Even in the back country the houses are
built on piles driven into the muddy banks
of lakes and rivers and can only be
reached by boats These little groups of
houses built on piles must strongly re-
semble the lake-dwellings of Europe of
some four thousand years ago.
The climate of Papua is very wet for
the greater part of the year, and the ex-
plorer discovers that walk in the drip
ping forests is somewhat trying to the
temper. Wet with perspiration, every
step he takes makes the steaming traveller
wetter still, because every leaf he meets
with pours little bucket of water on him
as he forces his way through the creeping
plants that bar his passage.
A tropical forest is always more or less
gloomy because the fruits and flowers the
birds and the butterflies, are at the tree
tops two hundred feet above our heads.
The traveller trudges along at the feet of
the lofty trees, often wet to the skin by
reason of the heavy rains. Even in places
where the trees are low, there is such a
confused tangle of luxuriant foliage that
one plant obscures the other, and the gen.
eral impression produced upon the ira
Weller is that of dense mass of impene-
trable underground. 1t is seldom indeed
that the eye is greeted with blaze of
color like that of a field of California
peoples, or a slope of Alpine scenery
deeply blue with thick carpet of gentian.

Members of the feline tribe do not drive
their nails in the bark of trees to sharpen
them as is sometimes supposed. A male
tiger will jump high up against tree,
tearing down large piece of bark, to
show his mate how strong and athletic he
is. The leopard advertises his proves by
laying his killed prey high up on the
branches as an Offering.
