In West Africa, according to a letter
received from an English officer.
"This country is full of elephants,” j
he writes. “Coming down to the
railway terminus today we met a
couple of them on the rond, but they ^
flapped their ears and walked off. ^
The other day we were having a hot
fight with the Germans, when sudden
ly an angry elephant appeared be
tween us, and darted first one way
and then nnother. Before you could
cough both sides had retreated. It
was bad enough to face a Maxim, but

FLOCK TO LONDON
LONDON, May 6—Arrangements
are being made to receive in this
country large additional numbers of
Belgian refugees from Holland. With
in the next few weeks several thous- j
ands are expected. Many of the new
comers will be self-supporting, and
others partly so, as the activity of
certain trades In England will make
It easy for them to find employment.
The work of drafting the refugees
from the government clearing houses
in London to various parts of the
country Is now going on under a new
scheme whereby payment is made by
England for their board and lodging.
Several thousand male refugees who ^
have been in this country for some i
time are expected to return to the
Continent as the result of the order
of the Belgian government calling to
the colors all citizens between the
ages of 18 and 25. Large numbers or
Belgians have come to this country
and Holland fo.1 the express purpose
of joining the army.
O. A. Vinger, of Caro & Co., was a
