GERMANS ASK PRICE
FOR DISEASE CURE
Want Colonies Sack for
Sleep Sickness Remedy.

Bremen.-Unconditional restoration
of Germany's colonies and preWar
rights is the price demanded by The
German Colonial society for a new
remedy for the prevention of sleeping
sickness. The society expresses Tie
belief that Germany il the remedy
has a powerful political Weaeon in
hand which places her IN a position to
force revocation of the colonial man
dates executed under the Versailles
treaty.
Germany holds the key to central
Africa in the remedy" says Doctor
cache, well known rs a colonial ex-
pert. He expresses the belief that
the remedy for sleeping sickness and
tsetse fever is destined to convert
central Africa into a prosperous, fer
tile country, inhabited by an industri-
u people.
mo colonies, no remedy" is the
ultimatum of Edouard Aehelis, chair
man of the Bremen section Of the
German Colonial society. He suspects
that this stand may provoke the
charge of ~inhumanity, but he reminds
his critics of the allied hunger block
ade."
German colonial enthusiasts have
demanded that the German govern
ment Immediately protect the remedy
against undue exploitation by the en-
tente powers.

Says North Pole Has
Nice Summer Climate

Seattle, Wash.@The airship Shen-
andoah, On the United States nayy's
expedition to the North pole next sum
mer, will not find temperatures as low
as those of this winter on the Atlantic
seaboard. This is the belief of N. 3.
Summers, weather observer here, who
established the government meIeoro-
logical station at Point Barrow, where
Alaska juts farthest north into the
Arctic ocean.
Mr.. Summers said that the coolest
June day recorded at Point Barrow,
which is LII miles from the pole, was
u degrees above zero and the coolest
July day 20 above. The range last
June was from % degrees above to Sc
above.
The Shenandoah is more likely to
encounter rain than snow, in the
opinion of Mr.. Summers.
Toward the pole, it will naturally
be colder than at Barrow" he said !;
considerably so, if there is no large
body of land between Alaska and the
pole. If there is an Arctic continent
or a large island, radiation from the
suns rays will make it warmer and
more nearly the temperature of Bar
row. But, in any event, 1 do not be-
lieye there will be zero temperatures
at the pole in July or late June
