Fragmentary news leaking out from time to time has indicated how half a century’s work in the cause of civili- zation was swept away at one stroke whern the tribes, taking advantage of the warfare between British and Ger- mans, broke restraint and returned to the rude customs of barbarism in which they were found by Livingstone, Stanley and other explorers, The most complete account of con- «ditions received at M fonary head- quarters so far has come from Mrs. Minnie Toppenberg, the wife of Val- Used Cars Saturday Afternoon at 2 o'clock We will place on sale to the highest bid- ders, a number of used cars.

Toppenberg who has charge of the medical ary operations of the Seventh Adventists sta- tioned on the castern share of the Victoria Nyanza. Her report camo from Ukerewe Island which formarly was part of German Bast Africa. “When the war hegan,” she writes, “at a stroke, we were set back to the middle ages. We had none of many things we had to find substitutes for. We used bananas, native grains and nuhogo for flour, wild honey for sugar, candles made of tallow for light. soap fram wood ashes and lime. Clothes were also unprocurable, S0 we wore pants, etc., made of goat and gazelle skins, and made yarn of cotton and knitted aur stockings. “Uproar among the natives was feared by the government people at the beginning of the war and we were Instructed to inform the natives by our stations that there was no war between Europeans and natives, only soldier against soldier. = Not long after the opening of the war, the Masias, a fierce and #arlike tribe east of Busegwe, our oldest station, came swarming the count; robbing cattle. and at one time when they plundered | in Usukuma by Kanadi one of our workers lost his life in defense of the people for wham he faithfully worked, He was stabbed from behind by a spear. “Rarly last June, the English oc- ed Ukerewe Island, where I am writing this, and in July they took Muawza, the seat of the provincial ccmmissioner of this province, in which all aur stations on the German side are located. When the natives heard of this, they lost fear of the German officials and even openly dis- obeyed orders, and it got worse when all the officials as well as military left Ikidzu, going south. Uproar started immediately by the natives in Tkidzu, killing the mnative police and watchmen left to guard the station. They robhed the government property, and it was reported to us that the Christlans who had been left behind by Dr. Vasenius to watch mission property had been driven away, some killed and their huts burned. I tried to send messages to them with words of courage and instruction, but all re- turned with the letters because of the war raging everywhere. The uproar spread quickly from tribe to tribe, every day bringing new and startling reports, My family and I were the only Furopeans left in the aistrict as far south as the river Mbalageti, and we had been warned by the government officials_that an uproar was to be ex- pected; also in the last word we heard from any of our missionaries Mr. Ohme wrote Upon £oing to meet his company that he feared an uprisin but that he did not know of any safe place where he could advise us to go. We could not very well, with a fifteen e months’ old baby, run around in the unknown with the soldiers, ang whereas we expected that the English very soon would show up, we decidel to walt on our station until e [ should get some evident sign that we ought to leave, Native Painted Up For War. “We dia what we could to ourselves, put in night watches, and for the rest committed ourselves to God’s protection Finally the up- roar spread to Busegwe also.

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press) London, Oct. 3.—The government is proposing to take over control of the coal industry of Great Britain in the near future, the main purpose of the scheme of natlonalization belng to give a certain power of control over the neutral shipping which coals at British ports. Coal owners will be allowed to take thelr present profits if the scheme goes through, but the government will control the distribution of coal for home con- sumption, for export and for ship- ping. - For some time past the gov- ernment has used its authority over British shipping to direct its courses most beneficlal for the nation, but neutral steam shipping, though de- pendent on Britain for coal, has not recognized a resulting obligation to this country, The plan is that if the government owns the coal it will be in a position to stipulate the use the customer shall make of it and to require him to call for his return cargo at specified ports. In that way it is believed the whole of the shipping in British ports may. be organized and directed. o — e OLD. GARMENTS MADE NEW Visit Our Ladies’ Tailoring Dept.

The Wilson Administration Has Broken Its Promise to .ower the Cost of Living Woodrow Wilson entered office pledged to reduce expenses—house- hold as well as national. But the market basket is smaller and the pork barrel is bigger. Food prices have gone up—started to jump before the war and have kept rising faster than the average increase in wages. Conspiring middlemen have been permitted to manipulate the mar- kets—to form combinations in restraint of eating—to loot the family pocketbeok without Federal intcrference. No action has been taken against these plunderers although the stat- ute books are filled with adequate laws. A pay envelope is only as big as its purchasing power. Prosperity is a fiction when extra earnings are offset by advances in foods, clothes and utilities. Because he has not regulated affairs with economy—because he has not exercised vested authori; —because he has neither set in operation machinery to hold down the cost of living nor dealt with those who are holding it up, we oppose the re-election of Woedrow Wilson and uphold the candidacy and the convictions of Charles E.
