The former German Southwest Africa, details 6f whose government under a mandate to the Union of South Africa. have just been formu- lated by the league of nations, is the subject of the following bulletin is- sued from the Washington head- quarters of the National Geographic Soctety: “At its worst, the territory which was German Southwest Africa before the world war and Germany's first venture into the colonial fleld migkt | be described as a country too dry for agriculture, lying between a desert and the sea, with one of the most barren and desolate coast lines | in the world. The entire coast. for a distance of ten to fifteen miles in- | land, consists of sand dunes on which | grows only the sparsest of desert vegetation. H “No perennial rivers flow into the sea across thisdreary waste through- out the mearly 1,000 miles of its e temt. Except for brief periods, aft heavy rains in the interior, all the seaward drainage of the country loses itself in a wilderness of sand Similarly, much of the drainage to the cast and south sinks intn the desert that separates German South- west Africa from the British terri- tories lying to the west of the Trans- vaal. Ouly One Port, That British. “Only one reasonably good port e ists alon@ the coast between the north and south limits of the territory. And this—Walfish Bay—with a small arca around it. was in the hands of Great Britain before the Germans estab- lished their colony in 1884. The t- ence of this tiny island of British territory in German Southwest Afri and above all the fact that it com prised the one port sorely needed by ! the colony, was a sharp thorn in the sides of the Germans. The artificial Farbors constructed by the Germans at Swakopmund. just north of Wal- fish Bay, and at Luderitzbucht (Angra Pequena), 200 miles to the south, were only makeshifts. “But there is a somewhat brighter side to the old German Southwest Af- rica than that seen when one sails along its forbidding coast. Back of the strip of sand is an upland coun- try which. though it will not support agriculture, is well suited to stock raising. Hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and goats are raised there. ches are of tremendous size. like those in the old west of the United States, averaging about 25.000 acres. Camels were imported by the Germans for use in the drier portions of the country, and are doing well. “In the northeastern corner of the territory, which is in the tropic: conduct of agriculture is possible. Cotton, tobacco and cereals may be g FOR ven the strip of sand along the coast has proved in one place to be spectacularly valuable. Diamonds were digcovered in the sand by rail- road workmen in 1908, and the coun- try now produces approximately one- fifth of the world’s output of dia- monds. In 1914 the value of the diamonds from this field reached $45.- 000,000. 1t is believed that the gems have,been washed up from the sea, and What is perhaps the only ‘sea- going' diamond mining company in existence has been formed to dredge for the precious stones off the shore. “Copper is mined in several places and forms one of the principal ex- ports. Railroads connect the mines with the coast and have been built to | a number of other sections of the country. The Germans built welil Their ‘mining plants and railroad nystems in Southwest Africa, as well as in_their other African colonies, have been said to be the best on the continent. In some of the copper mining regions of Southwest Africa smelting was done by electricity. Area of 322,000 Square Miles. “German Southwest Africa had an area of 322000 square miles—about the size of Texas, Arkansas and Con- necticut combined. It was one and- half times the size of pre-war Ger- many. In this vast area there was never a large population. After a. number of years of war with natives there were, immediately preceding the world war, something less than 100,000 natives and about 15,000 Euro- peans. About 12,000 of the latter were Germans. many of them soldiers. “The country was occupied by the forces of the Union of South Africa. in July, 1915, and has been admin- istered 'since as a protectorate of that government. Approximately 6,000 Germans left the country after the armistice. Several thousand British subjects. including a number of the | Memorial Fountains., THE memorial fountain has come into favor. In McMillan Park is a8 beautiful fountain set there as a memorial to the late Senator James McMillan of Michigan, and a foun- tain was erected south of the State, War and Navy building in memory of Capt. Archibald Butt and Francis D. Millet, who were lost Wwhen the Titanic went down. The bronze statue of Admiral Dupont has been removed from Dupont Circle and a fountain substituted by the Dupont family. Memorial fountains have been set up and a number are projected in other cities. i The first public fountain in the United States was set up in Phila- delphia, according to a statement made on the authority of the Ameri- can Institute of Architects. It was the work of the first American sculptor recorded in the annals of American art, William Rush. It was set up first in what was Center{ Square, Philadelphia, and many years later the fountain figure was cast in bronze and placed at the Callowhill street entrance to Fairmount Park. The figure is that of a thinly draped ! female typifying the SchuylKill river. That part of the Philadelphia public| which was solicitous of the morals of the city denounced the statue a hideously ~ immodest. but nobod would think of it in that light today William Rush was born in_ Phila- delphia July 4. 1756, and died there January 17.°18 According to b raphers, he was the only who atiempted carving or in stone prior to the American revo- lution. He served an apprenti under Catbush, wood self urehead # esteemed of considerable importance in those days. Some ships were fa- mous for their figurcheads and very often great expense was gone to in obtaining a figurchead in Keeping with the si speed and costliness | of the ship. Some of Rush’s famous | wood carvings were “The Genius of the ['nited State which was the figurehead of the frigate United States: “Nature,” the figurehead of the United States frigate Constella- tion; “Indian Trader,” the figurehead of the ship William Penn, and the “River God," head of a famous Ganges. William Rush also carved a num- ber of statues in stone. the most cele- brated being hortation,” “Praise.” nter,” “Agriculture which was the figure- ship called the It really is surpris- ing how much use and abuse a Hup- mobile Il endure and still stay right.

Franklin and Penn and made a celebrated bust of Lafayette in 1824, Ome of his works was a statue of Washington, which was purchased by the city of Philadelphia in 1814, The Rush family of Pennsylvania produced a number of men of distinc- tion in various lines. They descend from John Rush. Who commanded a troop of horse under Oliver Cromwell, turned Quaker after the English civil war, married Susannah Lucas, and, with his wife and his son John, mi- grated_to Pennsylvania in 1683. Ben- jamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a member of this family. Ha was born near Po- quessing Creek, Pa, in 1741. He was a noted surgeon and was surgeon of the Pennsylvania navy in 1775-76, and in 1777 was appointed surgeon of the middle department of the Continental Army and was present at the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine and Germantown and spent the Val- ley Forge winter with the troops of the colonies. Richard Rush. who was assoclated with our Smithsonian Institution and held high office under the govern- ment, was a son of that Dr. Benja- min Rush. Richard Rush married Catharine FEliza, daughter of Dr. James Murray of Annapolis. He was Attorney ¢ in 1814-1817 neral of the United States ? served as Secretary of State in 181 and in that year went American minister to England, re he remained until 1825. He was of the Treasury under John Quincy Adams and andidate for the vice presi- w Secretary dency in 1S28. He was the commis- sioner sent to England to obtain the beq of James Smithson to found mithsonian returned amount of that Institution, and he to America with the full legacy, $508.318, in August, 1538. He was minister to stitution. He died at Philadelphia July 30, 1859. His brother, James Rush, born at Philadelphia. in 1786, married the famous heiress, Phoebe Ann Ridgeway, who was born in 1797 and died in 1857. He begueathed a million dollars to the Philadelphia Library to erect the Ridgeway branch. and was the author of & number of | literary works, He died at Philadel- phia in 1569. Benjamin Rush. the signer. had a brother, Jacob Rush, who was a dis- tinguished jurist, He was born near; Philadelphia in 1746 and died there in| 1820. One of the conspicuous roles he appeared in was as counsel for Bene- dict Arnold in the casc against Ar- nold brought by Gov. Joseph Reed. in 1779, i FAMOUS OLD THEATER. From the Philadelphia Press. Announcement that the famous Wal- nut Street Theater is to be recon- structed. so that a more modern play- house may rise on the site, has caused immoderate, it justified, remi- niscence in the past glories of the his. toric structure. Ghosts of great actors have been invoked: doleful references have been made to Forrest and Booth, | Mansfleld and Cushman by those who Iorget that this generation has its Barrymore and Sothern and Marlowe, and “the pathos of distance,” has led many of the ancient regime to ecstatic praise of the theater's fine, classical record. But the Walnut has been something more than an auditorium for Shake- speare and Lytton and Sheridan. In the whole range of the country’s dra- matic territory it is doubtful if a more broadminded old building ever existed.
