cording to the Rev. Philip S. May,
the pastor. 1t is expected the first
unit will be completed by Christ

Distrustful

Germany is naturally distrustful
of the league. Two or three years
ago the British government offered
formally to support any application
made by Germany to join the league
and the council of the league. Italy
also promised support. If the APP
plication had been forthcoming,
there is no doubt that Germany
would then have been admitted. But
the German chancellor informed me
at Genoa that public opinion in Ger
many was so incensed over the ST.
lesian award that he dare not apply
for entrance. Time, helped by the
loan of 10000. 900 pounds. may tend
to soften the asperity of German re-
sentiments, and a year hence may
be a more propitious moment than
two years ago.
But all depends on the adhesion
of America. That would settle the
attitude Of Germany, and afterward
Russia could not afford long to re-
main outside and she would lumber
suIliiy into the ark like a bear. But
will America go in2 The fate OF
the league for some years will be de-
cided by the coming presidential cleo
ton, and who can forecast the re-
suit of that momentous contest? It
is traught with destiny. Until
America makes up her mind to CO.
operate in some form of organized
and sustained effort to insure peace
in the world, discussions on disarm-
ament at Geneva must continue to
be academic, and the real work will
be done by external conferences. like
those at Washington and London.
But even If the American election
is adverse to the league, let its
friends persevere. America, in the
Dawes commission. definitely came
back to Europe. She cannot retire to
her tent a second time. She is now
definitely committed to European
settlement. She dislikes the machin-
cry of the league, but, with her in
ventive mind, she can suggest anoth-
er kind Of mechanism. The present
constitution of the league is more
American than British. II IS a writ
ten constitution on federal lines. It
would be a happy comedy If Amer
lea came into the league when its
constitution ceased to have the
rigidity OF the American and was
fashioned on the more elastic and
haphazard principles Of the British
constitution.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY


"JambO, Bwana kingi va Amerik!'
O sooner had the train come to
I'M a halt beside the neat CORFU
gated iron buildings that
formed the railroad depot at Simba,
than an interested group gathered
about Roosevelt and Selous.
There were many weird and won
derful stories to be related about
Simba, which is the Kiswahili word
for Zion" 1t has been well and
truly named.
Cruickshank, the traffic manager,
told many stories of Simba that
brought hearty laughter from
Roosevelt. We all spent a very in
teresting fifteen minutes while the
enging took on fuel and water for
the final run through the great
British East African game reserve
to Kapiti Plains.
When we finally reached Macha-
kos Road, just before Kapiti Plains
depot, we had climbed to an alti-
tude Of $3.50 feet above the sea.
For some time we had been travel
ing rapidly through such vast guam
titles Of almost every conceivable
species of big game that the mem
bers of the Roosevelt party were be-
wildered. They had been told great
deal about the thousands upon thou
sands of wild game they would see;
but the actuality was much greater
than the hearsay.
We saw, amongst others, giraffe;
wildebeeste in large herds or singly;
hartebeeste, Thomsonii and Grantii
gazelle in countless thousands; zebra
beyond all counting; waterbuck,
duiker, and reedbuck, ostrich, and
even a lonely rhinoceros; and as to

time I have heard the coalition gov

agency OF the League Of Nations. We
were told that the League was being

Three years ago there was another
serious dispute which disturbed the

gle to the decision of the League Of
Nations. It is notorious that the
league handled it in a manner which
impaired condolences IN its impair

| The tariff issue, as the Democrats
| view il this year, is bound up with the
question of world trade, the fact that
the United States is no longer a deb
| tor but creditor nation, ant the fact
that the high tariff wall has made the
producers dollar worth approximately
67 cents in purchasing power. They
have been accommodating statistics TO
show that the farmer pays out about
$40 TO the manufacturer for necessi-
| ties of life for every dollar of protec-
| ton he gets on the raw materials he
produces. They are convinced that IN
exceptionally strong case can be made

| plight of the wheat farmer who has
seen the market price of his product
reduced every time the tariff has been
increased.

In this particular it is probable that
the only difference between the planks
of the Republican and Democratic plat

road rates also is likely to prove n

These will be:

leaders believe they can prove their

many people throughout the country,
Democrats as well as Republicans,
committed themselves to the Mellon
proposal before an opportunity was
afforded for comparison and some may
feel they have to stand by their guns.
However, the basic difference be-
tween the two proposals is the same as
that which has divided the Democratic

The Mellon plan is conceived in the
idea that if the higher surtaxes are

thrive and provide emplo. mt for

There are many who despise the
Mexican "flnppcr" and who consider
that the family life will some time be
excluded from this country, because
some cities have q good assortment of
healthy girls full of fun and life

they can out of life.
Nevertheless, the appearance Of the
vernacular "flapper" here is really
considered as first tendency towards
the emancipation of the fair sex OF
this country, for if there are many
girls who are just about as empty in
their heads as the girls of other coun-
tries, there are many other honestly
inclined women in this southern coun-
try, who respect themselves and who
have a higher conception of the use

This is proved by the ever-increas-
