T BORN
F BRITISH
CRUELTIES
LONDON, Aug. 17. (Dy Maty).
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."

Men walk on them, tramp them dowa

DaUle I Our fields are full of them.
From afar their white heads give color
to the landscape. Their yellow cen

wave obeisance to the day and, by
their graceful beckoning, invite us to

Daisies I Our empty vases call for

blooms. And they are so near to us, so
easy to get. that It seems a pity to
