GERMANS SHOW ACTIVITY
IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA
LONDON, Mar. 3.—Back to tht
old colony evidently is the purpost
of many German commercial firms
who have established themselves ii
Kenya and Uganda, according t(
Colonel W. H. Franklin, Trade Com
missioner in East Africa. Reportinj
to the Department of Overseas Trad*
Colonel Franklin says:
“Since September, 1923, Germai
firms have been allowed to establisl
their own branches in Kenya ant
Uganda, and today there are nearly
• a dozen such establishments in Mom
bassa giving what can only be de
scribed as the loosest of credit con
ditions.”
“How far this is simply a means o
commercial repenetration, or how fat
political exigencies enter into tht
matter, it is difficult to say. It is
natural that Germany should try t(
recapture commercially what sht
once dominated politically, namely
the Tanganyika territory, and ii
may also be a matter of national fi
nancial policy to hold capital bal
ances abroad in the shape of long
dated bills.”

FAMINE SWEEPS
IRELAND; MANY
ARE NEAR DEATH
DUBLIN. March 1.—Thousands of
men, women and children are starv
1 ing slowly in Ireland, a scant few
hundred miles from glittering London
and Paris, and the center of Euro
I pean civilization.
The potato crop has failed—in the
country famed for potatoes. The peat
beds are sodden. The wails of the
hungry children are rising with the
i mi3t over a rain-soaked country. The
winter of 1924-25 is the worst since
the black year of 1S47, which starved
Ireland and sent the pick of its young
men voyaging westward to America
Over the bogs of Ireland hang drip
’ ping rain clouds like a blight. Already
1 | some of the weaker sufferers, the old
1 men and the crones, and the sickly
children have died because they had
’ neither food nor fuel to withstand the
rigors of the winter.
In County Donegal, in the boggy
1 ; Connemara, end of Galaway, in the
1 County Kerry, where lies beautiful
' Killarney, the distress is acute. Fer
managh suffers too, but there the un
happy peasants have a tiny store ol
corn meal and they subsist on mush
But in the famine centers potatoes
are the principal and frequently the
only article of food for most of the
miserable families that live in the
bog, or lakeside cotes. There are no
potatoes. The rain has made the
| peat unfit for fuel. Usually the cot
tages bank their fires overnight. In
many a cote the fire has died for the
first time in nearly a century.
Conditions in Connemara are espec
ially bad. In many' a thatched hovel,
father, mother and children huddle,
starving and shivering through the day
and night finds them huddled in the
hay for warmth.
Thousands of children in the stric
ken districts go days without food,
while families stricken with illness
have neither food nor fuel.
The Bank of Ireland has subscribed
$10,000 for relief. Several thousands
of dollars have been received from the
U. S. The Ulster government is taking
relief measures.
Meantime the banshee of cold and
starvation shrieks in the air of the
West Coast of Ireland.
STRAYING ROYAL DEER LEAD
HORSE GUARDS MERRY CHASE
WINDSOR, Eng., Mar. 4._A de
tachment of His Majesty’s Horse
Guards was called out recently to
round up and drive back to the roy
al preserves in Windsor Park, a herd
of deer which had strayed into a
nearby estate, doing much damage.
The guards reached Ascot in the a.m.
and proceeded to sweep the woods,
but after several hours’ work only
succeeded in driving one deer back
to the park. They adjourned opera
tions in the afternoon.
About 150 years ago King George
III discovered that his deer had left
the royal forests at Windsor and in
vaded the Sunninghill Lodge estate
at Ascot. He ordered the Life
Guards to drive them back and they
were probably more successful than
the present day guards, who found
that the deer were able to get thru
places in the undergrowth where a
horse could not.

German Beggars Classify
Families Language Sign
FRANKFORT, Mar. 4—The profes
sional beggars of Germany have a uni
versal sign language by which one
member of the fraternity tips off to
another whether a given house is real
ly worth canvassing or not. The sign
is scratched on the door in an unob
trusive manner, so that few families
are aware that they have been classi
fied by expert alms receivers.
A plain circle means “here you’l get
money.” A circle divided into four
equal parts by intersecting lines mean
“these people will give you something
to eat.” If the circle is intersecting
by two arrows, the beggar is advised
to beat it, “there’s danger in store for
you.” Three lines drawn horizontal
ly and intersected by four lines drawn
vertically is a warning: “Be careful;
the owner of this house will call the
police.” A wavy line means “nothing
doing.” The rude drawing of a shov
el warns the beggar that “without
work you won't get anything here.”

Trick of Kicking Trees To Bring
Persimmons Down Causes
High Demise.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ark., Mar. 4.
—Nigger, a veritable Solomon among
mules, is dead, and his owner, J.
R. Brewer, of Mountain View, says
that “higher learning” led to Nig
ger’s untimely demise.
The mule had an inordinate fond
ness lor ripe persimmons and by
what Brewer says was “inductive
reasoning” had learned that a good,
lucky kick at the base of a .persim
mon tree would bring down a show
er of the ripened fruit after the first
frost. During tJie fall persimmon
trees in the section around Mountain
View bore the marks of the animal’s
hoofs and protests had been made by
tree lovers and a naturalist’s club.
Niggar failed to return home this
week and after a few days Brewer
instituted a search. He found the
mule dead with one of his hoofs im
prisoned in the low fork of a persim
mon tree.
