SKULL OF AFRICAN NEGRO.
Why a Certain Paragraph in the
* Peace Treaty.
"Germany is to restore within six
months . . . the skull of the Sultan
Okwawa, formerly in German East
Africa, to his Britannic majesty's government."
"This sentence from t^e official
summary of the peace treaty present<
ed to the Germans at Versailles set
* official Washington wondering and
swamped libraries and scientific insti?
tutions in the capital with inquiries."
says a bulletin from the National Geographic
society.
"Among some tribes of Africa, including
German East Africa, skulls of
former rulers, called sultans, are held
1 in high veneration, and their possession
often is of political value.
"There are numerous tribes of
German East Africa dlone and as
many of these sultans as there are
tribes. It is apparent that Sultan
Okwawa was a sort of Mohammed or
* Confucius among his clansmen, .and
that the nation which assumes sovV
ereigntvvover the people who revere
his memory, and probably worship
his skeletal remains, will be received
with greater friendship if it can restore
the precious talisman.
"Furthermore the removal of the
skull sheds a sidelight upon the long
army of German propaganda, reaching
even into darkest Africa in contemplation
of 'defe tag* of Prussia's
day under the scorching equatorial
sun.
The German government contributed
a goodly sum for an expedition
headed by Adolphus Frederick, Duke
of Mecklhnburg, which ostensibly
made a scientific study of the German
protectorate in Africa in 1097-08.
"There is a good reason to believe
that the explorers were not wholly
unaware of political advantages and
by way of a tribal coup d'etat took
away with them the skull which now
has gained much unlooked for publicity.
"The duke wrote a book about his
travels in which he states, in sum
V marizing the results of his expedition,
that 1,017 skulls and about 4,..
000 ethnographica were collected.
"He describes visits to various 'sultans/
At one point he digresses from
botany and linguistics to give this
naive cemment on German policy:
'It is desired to strengthen and enrich
the sultan and persons in author.
ity, and to increase thereby their interest
in the continuance of German
rule ... At the same time, by steadily
'V . ~ "Controlling and directing the sultan
and using his powers civilizing influences
would be introduced. Thus by
degrees, and almost imperceptible to
the sultan himself, he eventually becomes
nothing less than the executive
instrument of the resident (German)
governor.
? ' y "But Germany's early policy in her
r African policy expansion was marked
by no such adroit methods; rath\
er by such disregard of native customs
and ruthless measures as that
^ N indicated by her removal of'the skull
referred to in the treaty. Karl Peters,
. x one of the first Germans to seek to
* ' exploit African resources, instituted
such a reign of terror among the natives
by inhuman treatment and especially
by wholesale murders of their
^ women that the German government
'was compelled to remove his commission
until the storm of civilized
protest blew over.
* "But Peters was soon restored and
other bureaucratic German officials
rudely deposed native rulers, instead

British, and thus incited numerous
native uprisings. One of these, in
1906, cost nearly 125,000 native lives
/before the Africans succumbed to the
same sort of terrorism as that instiv
tuted in Belgium in 1914.
"The duke commented on the generosity
of the natives in presenting
gifts but noted that 'yet the purchase
of ethnographical material met with
obstinate opposition.' He explained
that each clan reveres some totem,
believing that the spirit of the deceased
enters these objects of reverence.
"The totem is just as apt to be an
animal, or part of an animal?the
duke mentions the toad, crested
^ crane, the leopard and the goat?as
a skull. Incidentally this fact helps
explain the reverence of the old time
% southern darkey for such tokens as
the 'left hind leg' of a graveyard raohit
caught on a dark night."

that Doan's Kidney Pills are a right
good remedy and I am only too glad
to endorse them. One of the first
symptoms of kidney trouble in my
case was sharp, digging pains in the
small of my back. Every day th6
trouble became more and more ag
gravating until I could hardly stand
It. I felt miserable. I could hardly
get around to attend to my houseworfc,
as I always telt weak and irritabl*.
My kidneys needed attention in the
worst way and when Doan's Kidney
Pills were recommended to me I
used them. I only took about three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, but
they got down to the seat of the
trouble and put my kidneys in good
condition again."
