appear to be Abyssinia and Arabia, al
| though certain sections in India, Cen
! trail Africa and China encourage slavery
! in its generally accepted forms. The
| Abyssinian and Liberian governments
| have. it is true officially abolished slaV-
! cry by royal decree or law. But the En-
peror of Ethiopia, "conquerlng lion OF
| Judah and direct descendant OF KING
| Solomon" admits that his DEGREES
mean nothing to the raSes or chiefs OF
the interior, who regard slaves as thelr
greatest source of wealth.
The high priests of the Abyssinian
Church, who consider themselves the
guardians of Mosaic law, hold that
slavery is an institution decreed oy
Jehovah. Likewise the nomad tribes OF
Arabia justify slavery by their religion
and many chiefs have announced that
they will fight to death to keep their
slaves.
! The population of Abyssinia today Is
| anywhere between 100000 and H.

pure Abyssinians and 100000 are slaves

Laws Mean Nothing.
The laws OF Adds AbaDa, ftaS alarl
capital, mean nothing to the paramount
! chiefs of the interior, and when Brit
ish protests against slave raids INTO the
Soudan we're lodged they met with the
answer that the chiefs were merely tax
ing reprisals against rebellious SUBJECTS
or seeking to collect taxes.
Describing these raids the British
Whitebook mentions one conducted by
Ras Fitauri Zallaka with ITO armed
slave hunters in British Soudan. The
slavery patrol found that the raiders
had cornbed 200 square miles OF terri
tory.
So effective has the patrol become
that it has almost put an end to these
incursions, although recent report
tells Of 800 slave hunters entering Kenya
Colony to depth of 25 miles in an at
tack an villages along the Labarir
River. They captured many slaves and
killed 25 British subjects.
, In his report to the colonial office
which is to be found in the League rec
ords, Maj. Henry barley says he
counted more than so dead and dying
along one trail, victims of mercifu

Karl Marx House in Vienna, Worlds

wives pay from to II schillings a
month to the laundry-84 cents to 81 .68
Across the street.-the Karl Marx
house is so huge that new streets inter-
sect in between yawning -colored
arches-is the kindergarten. where We
, passed happy hour. The delicacy and
precision of the furnishings is mimi
table. Each group Of children has its
own washstand, set low in the wall SO
they can comfortably reach it: the
miniature towels, TOOLS etc, are identi-
fled by amusing drawings and symbols;
the equipment for play, including a
delightful miniature orchestra, rivals
that of the most expensive school for
children of the very rich in America.
And it costs the Viennese exactly 4.28
schillings 80 cents) per Week-lnclud-
ing the noon meal!
That is, it costs them that-if they
have the money. The Karl Marx kin
dergarten has room for $50 children
(for whom there are seven expertly
trained teachers), and the present en-
rollment is 107 Twenty of these pay
nothing-their parents are out OF work.
Unemployed men may keep their flats
in the Vienna houses for two years,
rent free-until they get job.
The teacher in the kindergarten
showed us the work of the children
amazingly interesting for such little
tots, much of it inspired by the great
Vienna children's artist and teacher
Prof. Click; we inspected their toy
corners and houses; they rose as we
| left, shouting in unison "Auf Wieder-
| shen." As nice a bunch of youngsters
as I've ever seen. I shall certainly want
to send my small boy there when he
grows older.
No Interest Charged.
The Karl Marx house cost 100000
| schillings to build-only a bit over
$4,000, 000 The Vienna municipality
! gets work cheap because of the enor-
nous bulk of its operations. Rents are
| so low because no interest Is paid or
the investment The 100000 schil-
lings came simply out of the taxes-oi
| the unfortunate rich.
The waiting list to get in numbers
5000, and applicants to have ghost
of a chance of admittance must be
members of the local Socialist party
/ Much heartburn attends this. 1t Is
| the familiar charge of the conservatives
and the bourgeoisie that their money
goes to give these dwellings only for
! workmen.
The Karl Marx house is only one
of many similar "Gemeinde Wien
apartment blocks scattered picturesque
ly through the city. Sixty-four thou
sand dwellings are to be completed by
| the end of 1882. Ten years ago the
! 200, ,0OO- odd people living in them were
homeless or decaying in filthy slums
Thus the Karl Marx house and what II
symbolizes is generally accepted as one
| of the most stimulating and satisfying
experiments in social reform the post
war years have known. And it is GER
tainly Socialist Viennas proudest mon
