 SKULL OF SULTAN
Germany Fails in Promise to
 Return MkWaWa'S Remains

Washington. D. C.. Dec. l9-An- nouncement in the British parla- nent that the skull Of Sultan Mkwawa" cannot be found recalls the frantic hunt for news of this former African potentate when, in the Versailles treaty, Germany solemuly promised to hand the relic over to the British govern mant. Although the agreement was that the skull be delivered within six months. this provision Of the treaty has never been compiled with and Il IS now explained that the skull cannot be found in Germany, and that 1t is believed to have been buried in Africa.
 Magical Properties ascribed to Relic
 The skull Of Mkwawa was i'm portant enough 10 be mentioned ill q world treaty" says a bulletin from the Washington. b. (. headquarters Of the National Geographic Society, "because 1t was believed by his trioesmen to have magical proper ties. By returning 1t for tribal veneratlon it would be possible for the new government 10 enjoy the good graces of MkWaWa's people.
 The skull came from what is now Tangauy!ka territory a British maudated area. Before the World War il was German East Africa, one of the most promising of the Ger man colonial possessions. It vas during the period Of German con troI that the skull was removed from possession Of Mkwawa's tribes men.
 Germans Collected Many skulls "Poss bility that the skull may have lost it's identity in wealth Of anthropologica specimens rather than have been lost physically, Is disclosed by q report Of AdoIphus Frederick. Duke Of Mecklenburg, in regard to his scientific studies in German East Africa in Ie07-oS. In writing of the work Of his eN- petition the duke stated that I,ol7 skulls and about 4,0G1 ethnograph- ica We're collected.
