JUBALAND IS NEW TOW COUNTRY It Also Aids in Scrfimhling Map of Alrica Again ‘Washington, D. C, 24 — The announcement thal as a resuit of negotiations the Ttalian flag has replaced the British flag over Juba- land. Africa, scrambles the map of Africa once more. The name, “Jubaland,” will probably be elimi- nated, for the territory is being added to Itallan Somaliland. “News out of Jubaland a few weeks before the (ransfer of soverelgnty telling of fAghting be- Aug. tween Somali tribes over water- holes, Indicates that Ttaly is not adding an entirely peaceful realin to her colonial possessions,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. headquarters of the National Geographic society, Tribes Fight at Water-Holes “Americans who know something of fights between Indians and cat- tlemen In the arld regions of our ‘eow country’ in the old days—often around priceless water-holes—may fancy they can construct a picture of the continual cattle wars of Ju- baland,” continues the bulletin. “The American westerner set down | in this Africa cattla region, how- ) ever, would find the differences so| striking that probably he would | lose sight altogether of the few | similarities. “Jubaland is alternately a parch- | ed desert and a green pasture, The | Juba fitself is the only year-round | stream, and it rises in Abyssinia | and recefves practically all its! drainage from that country.

In the dry sea- | son these bushes are leafless and the ground is dry and dust, As soon | as the rainy reason sets in leav spring out on the thorn bush hile the ground becomes covered with succulent grass. “The Somalis, the principal peo- | ple inhabiting Jubaland, keep ex- tensive herds and drive them into the interior as soon as the grass| appears. Scattered among the thorn thickets are numerous water-hole filled by the rains around which grazing activities center, Gamc tralls beaten oul by antelope, g zelles, giraffes, elephants and other wild creatures, connect the water-| holes and are used by the Somalis. | The herds of these natives consist | of cattle, sheep, goats and camels, the latter for use as burden bearers | as well as steeds to transport mem- bers of the tribe.
