BRITAIN TO HELP D. C. CHILDREN ; GET THEIR GIRAFFE AND RHINO Pr. Mann Promised Fullest Assistance During Expe- A dition to British East Africa to Supply 3 Beasts for Zoo Here. Bo far us it depends upon the Brit- G0 government, the children of Amer- F who visit the National Zoo will ave thelr much ziraffes and species under protection. These species include both the giraffe and the rhino, main objectives of the ex- podition. Besides granting permits for the capture of the protected animals, Brit- ish assistance will facilitate the move- of the expedition in Africa, the on of native personnel and g 3 ortation of arms. Keeping alive of wild Africa. tion would be impi animals alive, healthy and in good spirits during this long trek - | presents, incidentally, one of the most s | difficult problems which Dr. Mann and :y | his staft will have to solve. British East The expe: Marines Supply Guns. ition’s equipment is rap- 'mbled in time for the he main body on the mship Leviathian of the United tinction of authorities THE States lines, The United States Ma-| rine Corps has contributed a com- plete set of fleld equipment for the party. This includes officers' mess kits, cots, bedding rolls, revolvers and several thousand rounds of ammuni- tion. The Freedman's Hospital of ‘Washington, which is administered by the Department of the Interlor, has furnished a medical chest to aid in fighting the diseases and accidents of the jungle, Pl Meanwhile the carpenters of the Na- tional Zoologlcal Park, under Dr. Mann's direction, have completed 10 great crates, made of l-inch white pine, lined with sheets of metal and reinforced with fron bars, which will serve to cage the larger animals on the journey home. These cages are bullt so that they can be knocked down readily and set up in the field. They will serve as models to Arab car- penters for the construction of others in the fleld. At Southampton the baggage of the party will be transshipped to a Union Castle boat running through the Med- iterranean, the Red Sea and down the east coast of Africa to Zanzlbar. After a short stay in London, devoted to the completion of arrangements with the British government and the acquisition of certain additional sup- plies, Dr. Mann and his party will join SUNDAY STAR, their baggage and proceed to Tan- ganylka without further stop. Albert J. Loveridge of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, who spent eight vears as assistant game warden in Tanganylka territority, is preceding the main party to England to hasten arrangements at that end. Stephen Haweis, the noted painter of natural history objects, who will also accompany, the expedition, cut short a yachting party in the Bahamas and arrived vesterday for-a final confer- ence with Dr. Mann in Washington. The announcement of the expedition has proved that the spirit of adven- ture burns as fiercely as ever in Amer- ican youth. ¥ach malil brings fresh floods of letters to Dr. Mann from points farther and farther distant, offering the services of eager ad- venturers—grown men as well as youngsters. The clerical staff of the National Zoological' Park 1is kept busy regretfully declining these prof- fers, as the personnel of the expedi- tion is necessarily limited and was long since made up. G. 8.

A SMALL DEPOSIT WILL HOLD ANY ARTICLE FOR FUTURE DELIVERY WASHINGTON, D. ¢, MARCH 7, HINDENBURG EVADES USE OF STRONG LIBEL LAWS Laughs at Suggestion That He Prosecute Man Who Is Said to Have Insulted Him, By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 6.—President von Hindenburg consistently has refused to avail himself of the stringent slan- der and libel law prosecting officials of the republic. The attacks on him ave far less vitriolic than those level- ed against the late President Ebert and @ good many of them come from members of his own party, but the president is not easy nettled. A detective, seeking evidence against George Paulus, a Stettin coffee mer or alleged violation of the pure food laws, reported that Paulus had to shoot the police com- the president can go to hell,” detective reported Paulus as say- ng. The police commissioner promptly filed sui. for slander. President von Hindenburg, when the matter was brought to his attention, laughed off the suggestion that he make a com- plaint and intimated that the police Z X 1926—PART 1. commissioner was a bit too thin skin- ned.
