: of Disease ' Now , Claiming
Thousands Every Tear.
LONDON, June 80. A correspondent
of the Times at Nairobi says: "Only the
traveler who has made a 'safari' right
through Uganda, steaming past the de
populated islands of Victoria Nyansa,
visiting the newly cleared foreshore at
Entebbe, Luzira and Jinja, Journey Ins
down the Nile through Lake Kioga,
from Namsagali to Nasindl Part, and
thence along the 70 miles of forest
road to Butiaba, on the shores of Lake
Albert, can form any Idea of the terri
ble significance of sleeping sickness.
"Still to be reckoned an 'approblum
medlcorum,' It has, during a short but
malignant regime . of less than la
years, claimed close on 250,000 of the
native population of the protectorate.
The irony of the present situation lies
in the fact that, whereas the govern
ment Is doing all that, with limited
ways and means, IS possible to check
Its ravages, the natives actually regard
the introduction of the malady into
their country as British work. Seeing,
moreover, that it really did travel to
Uganda from the Belgian Congo by
the trade routes opened up by Euro
peans, there is a half-truth in their
view of the matter which Is almost In
capable of explanation to the native
understanding.
"The culprits in this case are a group
of terrible biting flies, .than which
only the dragon flies that prey on them
are swifter on the wing, exceedingly
mysterious In their habits of feeding
and reproduction, and the vehicles of a
parasite, or trypanosome, not like those
carried by, the 'Culicidae,' amenable to
treatment with quinine, but dashing
through the' victim's veins like an eel,
defiant of all drugs hitherto Indicated,
and poisoning him with a dreadful dis
ease that ends in madness, or at best
in stupor.
"That the natural enemies of the
tsetse are few and far between must be
apparent to any one who has had an
opportunity of watching the insect's
secretive habits and lightning flight.
A naturalist now studying the problem
on the .Sense Islands, in the Victoria
Nyanza, has come to the conclusion
that the only -native bird capable of
capturing it in the air Is a bee-eater.
It seems that the bee-eater devours
not only the fly Itself, but also a
dragon fly that preys on It; and, as If
still further to complicate this cross ac.
count. It also destroys a larger dragon
fly hostile to the 'Cacergate.'
"The only measure which promises
definite results until our knowledge
grows Is the clearance of bush on an
extended scale."
EMPEROR WILLIAM'S 80S. MAKES
MORGANATIC ALLIANCE.
Bride-to-Be la Tall, Graceful, Beautiful
and of Sunny Temper Marriage Will
Be Result of True Love Affair.
BERLIN, June 20. (Speolal.) The
fact that Hohenxollern Princes have
never been given to long engagements
leads an interested publlo to believe
the marriage or Emperor wiiiiams
fifth son, Prince Oskar, to the Count
ess Ina Marie von Bassewlti-Levetzow
will be celebrated shortly. No date,
however, has yet been set. The en
gagement was announced on May 26,
to the surprise of Berlin society, since
It means a morganatic marriage, con
trary to the traditions of the Hohen
zollern family.
There are plenty of instances where
that tradition was oronen, out tms win
be the first time In 60 years that any
of the Hohenzollerns have married be
neath their rank. King Frederick Wil
liam III himself did so. In 1824, when
he married the Countess Harrach, after
the death of his first wife. Prince
Adalbert, nephew of Frederick William
IV, did so wnen ne marriea toe vieu
neee dancer, Therese Elsler. Another
and the latest instance Is that of Prince
Albrecht, brother of Frederick William
IV, who married a Fraulein von Rauch,
daughter of a former minister of war,
in 186S.
The Empress Is widely credited for
obtaining the imperial sanction of
Prince Oskar's Intention to marry the
Countess Ina, for she believed It to be
a true love match. She knew the young
woman well, for she had served as her
maid of honor until 1913, when he
close attachment between her and the
Prince is said to have resulted in her
resignation of service. She Is described
as tall and graceful, beautiful and of
a sunny temper. While her rank is that
of lower nobifity. her family lineage
has been traced back as far as 1254,
to one Bernhardus de Bassewicze, and
the title of Count dates from 1728. She
undoubtedly will win some new title
when she becomes the Emperor's
daughter-in-law.
Prince Oskar has had the training of
a typical Prussian officer. Although
Oskar's general education has been
comparatively neglected, he Is de
scribed as a man of much shrewdness
and of quick Intelligence. He Is a cap
tain In one of the footguard regiments
at Berlin. People who know Oskar
best predict that he will be heard from
in any future war Germany may have.
He will be 26 years old in July, while
his bride Is Just a half year older. She
enjoys the double distinction not only
of having been born In the year -when
the Emperor ascended the throne, but
on his birthdays. January 27.

Guardians Nailed by Answer

LONDON", June 20. (Special.) E.
Fleischmann, of Buffalo, X. Y., has won
deathless immortality in London by a
sudden fearsome attack on English
snobbishness. In an unguarded mo

Dublin police to the police of Chicago,
and that was enough for Fleischmann;
it made him mad. In a flash he wrote
to the London papers: . .

"This is a libel on the American peo

based on sheer Ignorance and unworthy

"The fact is that our police are too
often In sympathy with strikers and
rioters also a discreditable condition.

"Really, I do not think England,

"Further. we . have no ancient nor

WIDOW PUTS END TO GRIEF
Mrs. Julias Stern, Patron of Art In
Berlin, Drowns Herself.
VIENNA, June 20. A large section
of Berlin society has been shocked by
the suicide of the widow of Herr Julius
Stern, director of the National Bank.
Her husband died suddenly of heart
disease a few months ago, and as early
as the funeral she told friends that she
could not live without him, and was de
termined to follow him to the grave.
These words were not taken serious
ly, but recently she went out alone in a
small motorboat from the estate she
owned on one of the beautiful Havel
lakes, and when some distance from
land deliberately upset the craft and
was drowned before assistance could
reach her.
Herr and Frau Stern were well
known as lavish patrons of art. and a
selection from their collection of mod
ern French pictures forms the most
Interesting feature of the exhibition of
the "New Secession," now being held

PARIS, June 20. When tha new

to taxation as posters and prospectuses.
He suggests that duels, like railway
trains and funerals, shall be divided
Into three classes third, second and

For a third-class duel, with the or

Then he began negotiations with the
