NE\)/ BRITAIN DAHM HERALD SATURDAY MAY 24, 1915, CANNIBALS STILL YEARN FOR FLESH| Naval Force Sent to Maleknla Islands to Quell Natives ‘Washington, D. C.—‘“Cannibals!" You may have exclaimed when recently read of a naval force sent to Malekula Island, of the New Hehrides, to quell attacks of the man eaters up- on white planter I thought can- nibals had disappeared long ago. Contrary to general belief, the can- nibal still is with us, says a bulletin from the National Geographic socie- ty. “And cannibalism is practiced regularly by some tribes of the nu- merous South Sea Islands. In other places it is recurrent. Missionaries and agents report it stamped out, and they speak truly, save for occasional lapses into barbarism of these primi- tive peoples just emerging into the kindergarten stage of their civilization. ‘Of all the peoples of the vast South Paeific expanse where the white man’s influence has been felt at all the Malekula islanders, perhaps. are the most murderous, treacherous and vears ago ethnolo- vho saw some egg shaped skulls qught from the island held high hopes that there, at last. might be found the utissing link which marked the cvolutionary step from monkey to digproved any cone shaped islanders is “Investigation 00 h theory.

The Maleku- lans are accorded the palm for fe- rocity and cruelty by many travellers. though they are not unique among the Hebrides natives in these r On some islands the women ex be buried alive with their husbands’ bodies. “A redeeming feature of the Male- kulans is thelr scrupulous honesty. A travéller’s life may not be worth much if he irritates a native, but his property is absolutely safe. Another Malekula distinction inheres in the wooden ancestor images found there. These efliges display a resemblance of human beings and attest a latent ar- tistic taste in their crude coloring. Trouble in the New Hebrides is nothing new. In 1904 an Anglo- French expedition was needed to heek a native uprising and nearly wo decades earlier the French inter- vened to suppress a out- break. “The New Hebrides were discovered by a Portugnese sailor early in the seventeenth century, explored some- what and named by Captain Cook a century and a haif later, and wer declared neutral by France and Grea Britain in 1878, Later agreements provided joint control and administra- tion “The New miles northeast male is a Hebrides lie about 1,500 of Sydney, Australia.

This leads to the using of a roof which is entirely toeo large for the frontage. One way that has been found to get away from this high roof has been to place a short side of the gable at the rear over the front porch.
