An Indictment of British treatment of negroes In British Bast Africa Is tnsdo by Sir II. H. Johnston, writing In The Observer. "Many of the as sertions mado before the negro con ference In New York," he says, "woro wild aad windy, but It behooves our colonial office to see plain Justlco done to the 4,000,000 of black and brown people In this 'colony' and 'protectorate. Numerous Instances of bullying, flogging and torture aro cited by the writer. "Tho natives," he says, "aro slow ly coalescing, Bantu with Nllote. Mohammedan with Christian and Pagan, Somali and Galla with hith erto despised negro In their common hatred of the invading white man, owing to the exceptional cruoltles which have stained tho white man's record during this period of 15 years. These arc not cruelties of soldiers or policemen, of government servants of any kind, but of Individual settlors, British or Boer In origin. "Not only have murders, light- hearted murders, of natives taken taken place all too frequently, not only have revolting cruelties been committed, but, when the white de linquents are brought up for trial white Juries acquit them or whito Judges Inflict trivial penalties, or re bellious public opinion forces a gov ernor to revise a sentence. I doubt if capital punishment for murder has ever been imposed on a white man In East Africa. "Again, In the great war, thou sands and thousands of native por tera were compulsorily enrolled by that military authorities in the un happily-styled 'protectorate' and the arrangements for their commissariat. their medical treatment, their lodg ing and clothing have been miserably Inadequate, with the result that some 23,000 to 25,000 of them (It waa reported) died during the pur suit of the German forces. 'he survivors have retained tdaguea and the power of speaking; some, even, had been mission educat ed. and when 'Dora' (Defense of the Realm act) took her hand off tho mall service they have stammerlngly told the world outside Africa some- iking' of their preventlble sufferings and even of singularly callous and sometimes cruel treatment at the hands of the military authorities. "Now the culminating Incident Is this. Some two months ago there occurred at Nduru, In British East Africa, cases of flogging and torture. so severe that according to a medical officer's 'report, In some cases, 'the flogged natives died from the torture and flogging.' These crimes seem ingly were committed on a Europe an's plantation. The Europeans' in what is now termed a 'colony' appar ently take the law Into their own hands and administer punishment as they please." fiPKING LAKE DRIPPLINGH Tho Spring Lake school started last Tuesday with a good attendance.4 Mrs. Carl Schubert arrived on the train Monday night and Is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. William Cbeyne.

Increased demand for naval stores and a alight falling off In, (he supply have together called attention to the value of the stumps left In the flslds In cut-Over lauds of the south. A Washington letter of July told of the result of investigation by Cletneni S. Ucktr, vice president of the south ern settlement and derelbpment or ganUatlon, In the South Atlantic state, from which ho learned that the stump left In the fields do not die with the cutting down of the tree, but, on the contrary, continue to draw from the soil sap rich with the elements of nnMil stores, , From them od stump mny bo dis tilled some twenty or twenty-Ore dif ferent by-product.

Other processes leave a residue of valunblo charcoal It seems (tint the detraction by Are of thce stump In the clearing up of tho tnml Is uneconomical. They can bo sold for enough to pay for tho clearing and lento a surplus, so thnt wo mny yet sec manufacturer of naval stores bar gaining with the owner of cut-over land for the stumps upon It and ex tracting them themselves. GIVE COLOR TO LANDSCAPE Though the Daisies Grow Like Weede, Thty Have a Dsauty Too Lit tle Appreciated. They lift their heads to heaven, seeking to mingle Htth the stars mil lions of them, scattered In wild profu sion over meadow and pasture land. Men walk on them, tramp them dowa but they rise agatt,, serene, confident, searching the light which give them life. DaUle I Our fields are full of them. From afar their white heads give color to the landscape. Their yellow cen tered blossoms, blown by the wind, wave obeisance to the day and, by their graceful beckoning, invite us to tsko them home. Daisies I Our empty vases call for them; our umbrella stands, our Jardi nieres, yearn for their beautiful' blooms. And they are so near to us, so easy to get. that It seems a pity to waste their beauty In an unfrequented Held. Get them for the house, for the office, to wear. Even thobuh like weeds they grow, God's love shines from tbclr races and blesses tho corner they fill. Toledo Blade. Huns Polluted Interned Ship.
