Arabs In Palestine Voice
Opposition to Mandate

Jerusalem, Aug. 15.-The Arab
Congress Executive looking forward
to carrying, on its opposition to the
granting to Great Britain of the
Palestine mandate, met in Jerusalem
lately and passed series Of resolu-
tions. Some of these provided for
continued agitation against ratifica-
tion of the mandate; others consid-
cred course of action in case the
mandate was approved.
(The Council of the League of Ma
tions formally approved the Palestine
mandate to Great Britain and the
Syrian mandate to France in London
July "a, more than three weeks after
this letter from Jerusalem was writ
ten. The Earl of Balfour, in outlin-
ing Great Britain's policy in Pales-
tine before the Council, said this
would be one of strict impartiality,
and justice in which all traditional
rights, sentiments and religious feel
ings of the different racial groups
would be respected and held invio-
late.)
Among the resolutions are the fol-
lowing:
If the Mandate is ratified in its
present form, the Executive will ask
the delegation in London to return
so as to start operations on the spot
against the government.
That Moslem delegation be sent
to Mecca to carry on propaganda
among the pilgrims from India, Tur-
key, Persia and Egypt for the reah-
zation of the Arab demands.
That Christian delegation be sent
to the Vatican in Rome to carry on
the same propaganda in the center o!
the Catholic world. Z,
= Commenting on the situation ia
NAL Effendi ell Husseini, the Secretary
of the Arab Executive, said: "The
world in general and in particular
Great Britain must realize that the
spark of liberty and independence
still burns in the heart of every
Palestinian. We would rather shed
the last drop of our blood in the
struggle for freedom than spend the
rest of our lives as the slaves Of the
Jed in our beloved land.

The Way Of = Mahout With
The Female Of the Species

london, Aug, I4.--A big female
Indian elephant that. went on strike
at the Zoo last spring and refused tn
do what all big elephants at the Zoo
are required to do--earn money by
carrying children around on her back
has been cured of the sulks and
laziness by the seeming magic treat
ment of an Indian mahout.
She was presented to the Zoo by
the Maharajah Of Cooch Behar two
years ago. She had been we'll
trained and acted at all times like
a sensible, well-behaved elephant and
obeyed orders properly. She develop
ed no vices beyond that of picking
pockets for edible dainties. But
every elephant that has any sense at
all learns to do that in the Zoo.
Then she took it into her big head
that she would not submit to being
bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps
that had been fixed up for the con-
venience of Juvenile elephant riders.
When the old wooden steps were sub.
stituted for the new ones she proved
equally .obdurate. In the end she de-
clined to leave the elephant yard at
all.
AS the elephant is fine animal,
and quite good tempered, it was de.
cided to obtain mahout from India.
He was cabled for, and arrived in due
course. He was taken to the .ele-
plant house. He at once entered
the enclosure and formally saluted
the animal, standing first at her
head and then at her tail. Next he
took off his shoes, and knotted a
rope loosely around the elephants
neck, which he afterward used as a
kind of stirrup.
With little difficulty he persuaded
her to kneel and mounted her neck.
In less than two minutes, soothing,
patting, and talking volubly to her
in Hindustani, he had got on good
terms with the animal. Then he took
her round to the elephant ride, and
apparently had her in complete con-
troll.
Phrases of his admonitions, freely
translated, were as follows: I am
told that you eat your food, and will
not work; it is wrong; Allah enjoins
on US all that we must work If we
would eat. You are cheating your
masters, and it is unworthy of you.
am only black man, and you must
not mind me. Put fear out of your
mind; take it up from your heart,
and throw 1t out" !
The elephant certainly seemed to
understand, and now obeys every or
der, The mahout was given quarters
in another part of the gardens, but
obtained leave to sleep in the ele-
phant house, as he says that he
wishes to talk to the elephant during
the night. He, has not yet tried to
saddle her, as he wants to take
things slowly, but he is confident he
WIN Conquer all her fears and mako
her permanently obedient.

Discover Secrets Of
Mother Earth


teresting scientific discoveries are be-
ginning to come from five expedi-
tions which have been sent out this
year by the Field Museum of Natural
History, to ferret out secrets Of the
worlds past that are buried in rocks,
or hidden away in spots that are al
most inaccessible. "A sixth expedition
will soon start. Most Of this work is
to. be done in portions Of South Amer
lea where there has been but little
scientific exploration.
A geological expedition under the
direction Of DR.. Oliver c. Earring
ton is now proceeding into the in
terior-of Brazil toward the upper
reaches of the Amazon to obtain a
series Of minerals relating to the
diamond in an endeavor to trace, if
possible, the primary rocks which
are the source of diamonds. The dia-
monds Of Brazil differ, in their occur
renee from those in other parts of
the world in being found in highly
quartzose or granite rocks. In all
other important diamond bearing
rock localities the primary source
of the. diamond is rock composed o.
magnetism silicates and containing
no free quartz. 1t is also hoped tc
procure q full series of the rare Bra
lillian diamond accompanying mater
ais which are not found elsewhere.
Two botanical expeditions and one
geological expedition have been in
the field for number Of months.
One of the botanical expeditions left
the United States early in March
under the guidance of DR.. B. E. Dahl
gren, for British Guiana to collect
specimens for plant reproduction and
economic botany.
A botanical and geological expedi-
tion landed at Callao, Peru, the latter
part of April and after short stay
in the coastal regions crossed the
Andes to work on the eastern slopes
until early. fall, when they will start
down the tributaries of the Amazon
and thence down the Amazon to the
Atlantic.
This combined expedition will en-
counter many varied geographic and
climatic conditions. At times they
will be in lands where both plant and
animal life is exceedingly sparce and
at other times they will be in tn.
dense jungles of the upper Amazon.
Again they will work in regions near
the tops of the mountains where cli-
matte conditions will be those of the
extreme southern end of the CONT
nent, and afterward they will encoun-
ter the torrid climate of the equato-
rial regions when they reach the
jungles. Some of the country they
will explore contains what are vir-
tually Gland islands" for they are
completely surrounded by high noun
tains, and contain animal and plant
life little known to the outer world.
Many rare and Interesting speci-
mems are being gathered by those
expeditions, which are under the
leadership of Edmund Heller, noted
South American and African explor-
er who was with Theodore Roosevelt
on his expedition into Africa. Ac-
companying Mr.. Heller are John T..
Zimmerman, j. Francis MacBride and
William Featherstone, all of the Field
Museum of Natural History.
J. Allen Mason is making an ar
Genealogical survey of Colombia and
Central America for the museum
He is seeking to establish a definite
relation between the ancient Maya of
Central America and the Inca of
Peru.
