FAMINE RAkES SLAVE
RACE IN EAST AFRICA
Drought and inefficient Cul-
tivation Result in
Heavy Toll.

BY the Associated Press.
KAMpALA, Uganda, British East
Africa. April 6.-The teen1ing popula-
ton of the Bahuti. slave race In the
Belgian Congo, Is In desperate plight
from famine brought about by drought
and inefficient cultivation Of land.
Thousands already have persisted from
hunger and disease which follows In its
wake
Under a long standing feudal system
the Babutis are subjects OF the Batusl,
or ruling people. The dominant Batusis,
who own herds of cows, care little Tor
the welfare of their slaves.
The BahutiS now are virtually with
out food either purchasable or grown.
The situation had steadily grown worse
since the drought of August, 1927, and
there has been little rain since.
Unable to Fill Needs.
Belgian food distributing centers at
Rukira, Gatsibu and Kigali and three
other places have been unable to cope
With the relief problem on account of
difficulties in transportation by porter
age and the lack of roads.
Einaciated and hungry. the serfs since
November have been growing more and
more desperate Forced to. choose be-
tween a long trek In search of food or
a slow death they began migrating into
the Uganda territory, which Is under
British control.
In December the Uganda government
pleading necessity to conserve its own
supplies, prohibited the sale or passage
of food to the famine area.
Thus the fOodless natives are shut In
the trap of starvation with little hope
of salvation. The ravenous population
is hemmed by the Tagera River in the
north and east, and barred by Uganda
on the north. Food imported from the
west is almost ell bought up by the
Belgian government and the mines.
Corpses In Trail of $4,000.
II is estimated that some $4,000 des-
perate Bahutis passed through Mbarara
in the Uganda region, the route Of the
trek being Uttered with corpseg.

triotic duties of American citizen
ship"
The state superintendent of educa-
ton held their meeting that year in
Brooklyn, n. Y. They appointed COM
mittee of five to prepare a program
for universal use on October p. Four
members of this committee were state
superintendent the fifth was Francis
Bellamy, member of the editorial staff
of the Youths Companion.
Upon the request of James P. Up
ham, one of the proprietors of the
Youths Companion, Bellamy wrote the
words which are now variously known
as the "Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag" the Flag Pledge" and the ''Sa-
lutte TO the Flag" The pledge as writ
ten by Bellamy is:
Il pledge allegiance to my flag, and
TO the Republic for which it stands !:
one nation indivisible, with liberty
and justice for ALL
According TO Bellamy's own story,
he wrote the pledge at the Office Of
the Youths Companion one evening
in August. 1892, while James P. Up
ham waited outside the door for him
to do it. This incident probably gave
rise to the story that Upham himself
wrote the pledge. After appearing in
the program prepared by the state su-
perintendents for use on Columbus
MI
by many patriotic organizations and
was finally adopted in schools through
out the United States until it is now
regarded as almost an official part Of
our public school procedure.
Many educators later objected to
my flag" in the pledge. With the large
number of foreign-horn pupils in our
schools that phrase. says the United
States Bureau of Education. is clearly
ambiguous. Consequently the pledge
has been informally revised. The YER
sion now most widely used is:
Il pledge allegiance TO the Flag of
the United States Of America and 10
the Republic for which il stands: one
nation indivisible. with liberty and
justice for ALL
The next step in the story of the de-
velopment of Flag day is the story
of Mrs. Laura B. Prisk, known as the
Mother of Flag Day." IN 1916 Mrs.
Prisk. who was editor of the Patri-
otto Instructor in New York suggested
setting aside June II. the anniversary
Of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes by the Continental congress
as the flag of the United States. as
Flag day. Her suggestion was for
warded by the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution in New York, to Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson. In response
fo the request President Wilson issued
proclamation on May Is. 1916. desig-
mating June IA of each year as Flag
day. and since that time It has so
been observed.
