might by, the Rev. Joseph Clark, SO
years a missionary in these regions in a
talk on "The Troth About the Congo."

Professor Starr said that he had
ever been in some of the regions in
which he proclaimed that there were no
atrocities, and pointedly told me that
he- did not wait to be shown any evi
dence when he was at my mission be
cause he did not want to get into the
ecntroversy, said the missionary."
' the Rev. Mr. Clark showed stereopti
on pictures of the arm stumps of little
native children whose hands had' been
chopped off by the black soldiers of King
Leopold. To save bullets the soldiers
some times cut the hand from the liv
ing victim and then to told them to go
and die. " "' ' -
"Some of them did not die," said the
speaker. "There are 10 of them living
is' my district, which is no larger than
Chicago."
The missionary told of many instances
f the inhuman atrocities. At the last
lit threw a slide of King Leopold on
the screen and it was hissed by the
andience who had listened to him. j
Together with the Rev. Herbert S.j
Johnson, of Boston, the Rev. Mr. Clark ,
W making a pilgrimage of
"Let each of you write a letter to Mr.
Root, secretary of state, asking him to
intercede for these poor natives," he
urged.

Uucil acre said that his company is co
operating with the government to meet

"The value of the gold and silver pro
duced by the American Refining A
Smelting Company has been running In
excess of $100,000,000 for a year. For
some time the refineries of the com

silver for the benefit of the government
and the business of the country,
. J he smelting company regularly de
posits Us gold product With the govern
ment daily and has not sought to ob
tain any premium on this product. In
thin matter we have pursued the same
policy that we did in 1803. Then, too
there was a premium on currency, but
we turned our government checks over
to the banks and allowed them to col
lect the casli without trying to profit
ourselves by the premium.. It is right
to ho net, and the banks appreciate it,"
