In bringing their mode of living and iriens to a people un prepared and wholly unfitted to .live as the white man, , The Hutch people have allowed, and . will continue to allow the Javanese people to live as they have lived for generations, and for this reason the native of this Inland will survive, wili remain tho strong "b me n n turns, ; jno scums sun is no more correal, rneo ihoy nw today, because they I as rRt a "hy glow through the The speed of the eheihig cur are not forced to adopt the white I Ktorm clouds in the wost and bliss- rent chums the air so much that man's garments nor his mode. ofjd -us with a hew picture of thjs special vema fro made to lei it lying. ... j lovely tropic land. . . ., escape; .otherwise it-overheats.
