about the middle of October and hopes to return with documentary proofs, pho tographs and films that will reveal the terrible conditions in lands where white men have never been.
 Perhaps some fine American man would like to join and share the dangers and glory that will come to these brave pioneers. They will be gone six months. Professor Verneau, of the Academy of Colonial Sciences, is with us, and so are some of the finest men and women of France"
 Captain Rostaing is now completing his arrangements for the daring exploit. He expressed to me his desire of having an American join him so that America will know the whole truth about slavery and cannibalism in Africa. He will write the story of his experiences for this newspaper.
 There are in America intrepid men who have gone into the jungles of dark est Africa in search of big game either for sheer adventure or for scientific pur poses, and it is believed that Captain Rostaing will have little difficulty in finding an American to join him in his expedition to bring back pictorial evi. dence that slavery and cannibalism in their most horrible forms exist in this civilized age.
 The prominent citizens of France who are behind the project that will, as Cap tain Rostaing says, take years to accom- plish, assure the expedition that will leave for the jungle fastnesses in October.
 This dangerous journey into the heart of a savage country where the flesh of white men is greatly desired article of diet is only the first stage of the care fully planned campaign to rid the world of one of the last vestiges of slavery in it's most revolting form.
 If the party to be led by the French captain is successful in gathering and returning with evidence that all the world may see, it is likely that wide spread moral and financial backing will be forthcoming and that an organized effort will be made to clean up this jungle area now hotbed of inhumanity and horrible practices.
 The problem is one of danger and of fearful proportions. It will not be easy to change the age old customs of a numerous tribe of savages whose primi- tive code of morals and of living does not bar the violation of the bodies of innocent girls and the fattening of their youthful forms to make food for savage mouths.

slave girl being S forcibly fed so that

 'In this regard I heard from the chief of one of the N'Sakkaras tribes that his people, though habitual cannibals, bury their own dead and eat only their enemies. This same canni- bal, after drinking some of my tea, informed me with a smacking of the tongue that the flesh of a white man tastes much better than that of the black. It IS salty, whereas that of the black is sweet.
 "I thanked him profusely for the compliment he was paying to my race and pro- ceeded to make my prepa- rations for a hurried exit, But the chief assured me I was in no danger since I was to be the means of bringing cattle and sheep to his village.
 "Whether these lands are French or British, the tribes of the interior fastnesses take advantage of every chance to make war upon one another. But their common prey is the Bou- bou. The killed are al- ways eaten on the spot, while the prisoners are dis tributed among the various chiefs.

ence and that canni balism is still prac- ticed on a large scale in Africa. With the moral aid of a few Fr e n c h men and women we have or organized the Com mittee of Aid to the Last Slaves with a view of making this enterprise interna- tional in scope.
 The chief of this first expedition, M. Georges Rostaing, ex- plorer and mariner, will return to the high reaches of the Congo and penetrate the wilds of the Oubanghi and Ouadai where the tribes make war and eat one another.
 "It is hunger that drives these wretches to cannibalism. We want to find a way to change all this.

of the Libyan Desert, where it is not unusual to find among the fruits on sale a black human thigh or chunk of shoulder. Pieces of young slave girls are considered choice delicacies.
 These and other startling revelations made by Captain Rostaing have stirred French scientific societies into action, and it is quite possible that the govern ment will equip an expedition into dark est Africa before very long.
 But the energetic Captain Rostaing does not propose to wait for govern mental or parliamentary decisions. He will start back for the land of eternal gloom about the middle of October and will take with him camera man and an expert hunter. Each will pay his own expenses.
 He has interested distinguished per sonages in his plan and formed a com- mittee of which the following are promi- nent members: The Dowager Duchess d'Uzes, Mime. F. de Joannis, Professor A. Calmette, the former Ambassador, Jules Cambon, the Duke de Doudeau- vile, Admiral Guepratte, M. Raymond Poincare, M. M. Plaisant, the author, Maurice Provost, Professor Verneau and General Weygand.
 Captain Rostaing is thirty-six years old. His hair is iron gray and his face is almost colorless. In his eyes there is dull flame that flares up when he talks of his terrible experiences in the sunless jungles of Africa. His firm lips spell determination.
 "What desire to accomplish may take years," he said. "It is an enormous task which must be undertaken without delay and with the moral support of all nations.
 "How will it be done? How will I be able to attract world attention to the terrible conditions in the interior of Africa?
 "Why, by the printed word, of course, and by the film. I am going to bring back proofs of what have seen and heard. I will show to the world that cannibalism exists and that traffic in human beings is part of it.
 'In upper Ooubanghi I met chief named Nombu whose domains were scat tered along the river M'Bomou. He was a debonair, paternal sort of fellow af- aicted with some 500 wives, most of whom were distributed among the sub- chiefs to save expenses.
 If one of these sub-chiefs showed disrespect to the big chiefs wives, off came part of his ear. If he tried to acquire one of the chiefs wives for him. self, off came his head.

C. OF C. BALLOTS
WILL BE MAILED
OUT EARLY MONDAY

Ballots containing the names of the
candidates for directors of the Doug
last Chamber of Commerce and Mines
are now being prepared and will be
mailed out to the members of the
chamber Monday morning.
During the coming week the ballots
should be marked by those voting,
brought to the local chamber office
and placed in a ballot box which will
be installed there Members voting
are asked to bring their ballots into
the chamber and place them in the
ballot box rather than to mail them.
If they do mail them, however, they
should mark them 'ballot" on the out
side of the envelope containing the
marked ballot so the secretary will
know that it contains a vote and not
q letter.
All marked ballots must be in the
ballot box at the chamber office by
Monday, May 10, as the directors of
the chamber will meet the evening of
the tentIA to canvass the votes and de-
termfne the winners.
Since the nominations for directors
were made last Monday, several of the
nominees have withdrawn from the
race. At present there are nine cam
didates whose names will appear on
the ballots and there are three posi-
tions to be filled. Thus each member
voting should vote for three nominees.
Those whose names appear upon the
ballots now being printed are:
