F. A. Knowles, Colonel Roosevelt and
Kermit drove with Mr.. Knowles to
pay a visit to the Mill Hill Fathers
Roman Catholic mission, where they
were due to lunch with the Right.
Rev. Bishop Hanlan and the Ameri-
can Rev. Mother Superior of the
Convent, Mother Paul, both much
loved and venerated in Uganda.
Colonel Roosevelt was more than
delighted with all he saw at the mis-
sion and, speaking to me afterward,
declared that he was enchanted"
with Mother Paul-for a more de-
lightful woman it would be impos-
sible to meet.
After lunch with Bishop Hanlan,
Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit went
to call on the little boy king Of
Uganda, Daudi Chwa. who nominally
ruled with the aid of his prime min
lister and regent, Sir Appolo Kagwa,

only complete museum broup in the
world.
Colonel Roosevelt arrived back in
Nairobo on Dec. IL. He was simply
bubbling over with pride at Ker-
mit's astounding successes after
bongo.

for a much younger man than my
self" he exclaimed to me. Il had
not even the good fortune to see a
bongo."
One thing had always impressed
me during those long months of close
association with them, and that was
the remarkable relationship existing
between father and son.
They We're such real companions,
and ideal comrades, for such a hunt

had been. 1t always did my heart
good to see how proud the father al
ways was of any deed Of his son. al

stances, might not be entirely proof
against a spirit of jealousy.

CHAPTER XXI
Across the Victoria NyanZa

When the train left Nairobi, Dec.
IS, there was a great ovation Of
cheeringyaand waving Of hats. Roose-
welt was very much touched by the
warmth and friendliness of that
farewell from Nairobi.
We reached Kisumu early next
morning and our train ran on to the
pier alongside of the Clement Hill,
which vessel was to convey us
across the Victoria Nyanza to En-
tebba. The American flag was
broken at the foremost of the ship
as Colonel Roosevelt reached the
deck, and this is the first time in
history that one Of the Uganda Rail-
way steamers had flown an Amer.
lean flag.
Next day would find us all landing

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

m HE bongo is only found in
| the thick forests in certain
- parts of East Africa. The
Wandorobo natives are adopts at
stalking and killing them, but there
are only two cases on record where
European had secured a specimen
as the result of his own individual
hunting. Capt. H. Chauncey Stigand
had stalked and shot one single
handed; and the other case is one
of rather doubtful authenticity.
The bongo is a kind Of hybrid
bushbuck, with long white tips to it's
horns and striped coat. The Wan.
dorobo hunters crawl along the mar
row forest paths-a very difficult
task-and then, when they see a
bongo, silently shoot their quarry
with bow and arrow. They also hunt
them down and kill them with
trained hunting dogs.
Kermit had gone out with Cole
and few Wandorobo hunters, and
on his own initiative had stalked
and shot the two bongo. He had
thus created worlds record, for
he is the only man who has stalked
and personally killed two bongo.
Kermit Roosevelt, indeed, had am
pie cause to be proud Of himself, for
he had performed a feat which an
older and more experienced hunter
might well be elated over. More
over, this success had placed his
name high up on the list Of success
full big game hunters, and he had
served his own country well, for he
had given to one or their museums of
natural history a series Of three very
rare specimens Of African animal

On the evening of our arrival the
acting governor gave a dinner at

Colonel Roosevelt. This was followed
by a reception for all the leading
officials and commercial residents Of

Geneva, Sept. 11.--A world prop aganda scheme to acquaint the masses with the unfortunate conse- quences of the use of dangerous drugs will be carried out through the league of nations if, as 1t Is expected, plans adopted by the com mittee on sociological questions of the assembly of the league. are eventually adopted.

 The committee has formally ex- pressed in resolution its utmost concern that continued production of opium IS now going on in China" and has approved recommendation of the permanent league advisory committee on opium that the aid of public opinion should be enlisted through the medium of the far eastern press in an endeavor to solve the problem. The leagues permanent advisory committee will henceforth have additional members representing Switzerland and the Latin American countries.

central government that has at best only a shadowy suggestion of power elsewhere in China than in the immediate region of the Chinese capital.
 The effort of American diplomacy in China since the Chinese revolution and the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty has always been directed to- ward promoting by every friendly means the growth of an accepted Chinese government that could be held responsible for the security of foreign interests and lives in that country but which would have and exercise actual power of protection throughout the republic. To that end American diplomacy. has con- tinuously sought to strengthen the prestige of the central Chinese gov ernment by giving diplomatic cor respondence with that government the same weight and dignity as would be the case where a govern ment actually had full sovereign powers to enforce its will within its own borders.
 For this reason it can be said that the Washington governments policy toward China does not contemplate any form of intervention in China at any time except of the most friendly character,
