Th? Way of ? Mahout With
The F?dm|? of the Species
XH
London, Aug, 14,?A big female
Indian elephant that went on strike
at the Zoo last spring and refused to
do what all big elephahta f?. the Zoo
are required to do?epra money by
carrying children aroufid on her back
?haa been cured of the sulks and
laziness by the seeming magic treatment
of an Indian mahout.
She was presented to the Zoo by
the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two
years ago. She had been well
trained and acted at all times like
a sensible, well-behaved elephant and
obeyed orders properly. She developed
no vices beyond that of nicking
pockets for edible dainties. But
every elephant that has any sense at
1 all learns to do thqt in the Zoo.
Then she took it* into her big head
. that she would not submit to being
. bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps
that had been fixed up for the conVPTlipnrp
nf Invanlla -JJ?
, ? ? Wtiakw VtV[iU?UV i'lUCl Qi
When the old wooden steps were substituted
for the new ones she proved
equally .obdurate. In the end she declined
to leave the elephant' yard at
all.
As the elephant is a fine animal,
and quite good tempered, it was decided
to obtain a mahout from India.
He was cabled for, and arrived in due
course. He was taken to the .elephant
house. He at once entered
the enclosure and formally saluted
the animal, standing first at he/
head and then at her tail. Next he
took off hiB shoes, and knotted a
rope loosely around the elephant's
neck, which he afterward used as a
kind of stirrup. "
With little difficulty he persuaded
her to kneel and mounted her neck.
In less _than two minutes, soothing,
patting, and talking volubly to her
in Hindustani, he bad got on good
terms with the animal. Then he took
her round to the elephant ride, and
apparently had her in complete control.
Phrases of his admonitions, freely
v translated, were as follows: "I am
told that you eat your food, and wi'l
not work; it is wrong; Allah enjoins
on us all that we must work if we
would eat. You are cheating you'masters,
and it is unworthy of you.
I am only a black man, and you must
not mind me. Put fear out of your
mityi; take it up from your heart
and throw it out."
The elephant certainly seemed to
understand, and now obeys every order.
The mahout was given quarters
in another part of the gardens, but
obtained leave to sleep in the elephant
house, as he says that he
wishes to talk to the elephant during
the night. He has not yet tried to
saddle her, as he wan{s to take
A things slowly, but he is confident he
jr,.?- wlll^cotKjoer all her fears and" maM i
; . her permanently obedient.
Arabs in Palestine Voice
Opposition to Mandate
x Jerusalem, Aug. 16.?The Arab
Congress Executive looking forward
to carrying on its opposition to the
granting to Great Britain of the
Palestine mandate, met in Jerusalem
lately and passed a series of resolu.
tions. Some of these provided for
continued agitation against ratification
of th<? mnnHato' AthoM mnairi.
ered a course of action in -case the
mandate was aproved.
(The Council of the League of Nations
formally approved the Palestine
mandate to Great Britain and the
Syrian mandate to France in London
.July 24, more than three week's after
this letter from Jerusalem was written.
The Earl of Balfour, in outlining
Great Britain's policy in Palestine
before the Council, said this
would be one of strict impartiality,
and justice in which all traditional
rights, sentiments and religious feelings
of the different racial groups
would be respected and held inviolate.)
Among the resolutions are the following:
If the Mandate is ratified in its
present form, the Executive will ask
the delegation in London to return
so as to start operations on the'spot
against the government.
That a Moslem delegation be sent
to Mecca to carry on propaganda
amonur the nilorrims from India. Tnr
key, Persia and Egypt for the realization
of the Arab demands.
That a Christian delegation be sent
to the Vatican in Rome to carry on
the same propaganda in the center of
the Catholic world.
Commenting on the situation Jamal
Eflfendi el Husseini, the Secretary
of the Arab Executive, said: "The
world in general and in particular
Great Britain must realize that the
spark of liberty and independence
still burns in the heart of every
Palestinian. We would rather shed
the last drop of our blood in the
struggle for freedom than spend the
rest of our lives as the slaves of the
Jed in our beloved land.

Discover Secrets of
Mother Earth
Chicago, Aug. 14.?Reports of interesting
scientific discoveries are he|
ginning to come frqra five expedi(
tiona which have hften ?,ent put this
year hy the Field Museum of Natural
History, to ferret out secrets of the
world's past that are buried in rocks,
or'Tildden away in spots that are almost
inaccessible. A sixth expedition
will soon start. Most of this work is
to.be done in portions of South America
where there has been but little
scientific exploration.
A geological expedition under the
direction of Dr. Oliver C. Farringr
ton is now proceeding into the interior-of
Brazil toward the upper
reaches of the Amazon to obtain a
Sprips qf mineral^ relating to the
diamond in an endeavor to tracp, if
possible, the primary rooks which
are the source of diamonds. The diamonds
of Brazil <JilTer,iii thair occurrence
from those in other parts of
the world in being. found in highly
quartzose or granitic rpeks. In all
other important diamond bearing
rock localities the primary source
of the diamond is rock composed of
magnesian silicates aryl containing
no free quartz. It is also hoped to
procure a full series of the rare Brazilian
diamond accompanying materials
which are not found elsewhere.
Two botanical expeditions and one
zoological expedition have been in
the field for a number of months.
One of the botanical expeditions left
the United States early in March
under the guidance of Dr. B. E. Dahlgren,
for British Guiana to collect
specimens for plant reproduction and
economic botany.
A botanical and zoological expedition
landed'at Callao, Peru, the latter
part of April and after a short stay
in the coastal regions crossed the
Andes to work on the eastern slopes
until early, fall, when they will start
down the tributaries of the Amazon
and thence down the Amazon to the
Atlantic.
This combined expedition will encounter
many varied geographic and
climatic conditions. At times they
will be in lands where both plant and
animal life is exceedingly sparce and
at other times they will be in th:
dense jungles of the upper Amazon.
Again they will work in regions near
the tpps of the mountains where climatic
conditions will be those of the
extreme southern end of the continent,
and afterward they will encounter
the torrid climate of the equatorial
regions when they reach the
jungles. Some of the country they
will explore contains what are virtually
"land islands" for they are
completely surrounded by high mountains,
and -contain animal and plant
life little known to the outer world.
Many rare and interesting. specimens
are bottur gathered hy tM*e j
expeditions, which are under the
leadership of Edmund Heller, noted
South American and African explorer
who was with Theodore Roosevelt
on his expedition into Africa. AcIcompanying

Napoleon Pledge A'
To Ney Fulfill*]
.Vi]]
(By the Associated Press) .
Paris, Aug. 13^?The proq^tyi
made by Napoleon to Marshal Ney
117 years ago has just been fulfilled
by the. commission governing tfcp
Saar valley under supervision of the
League of Nations. The commission
has authorised the institution of a
supreme copri at Saar Louis, the
celebrated marshal's birthplace.
It is a town of less than 10,000
inhabitants, which was the old capital
and military stronghold when
the Saar was a French province.;'
When General Mangin pasted
through the Saar with his troops top
the way to the Rhine some of fb.e
old inhabitants who retained French
sympathies reminded nim of the
emperor's promise. /
"But I'm not Napoleon's successor,"
General Mangin replied, "aid
the judiciary is not my line. I will
pass on the request to the proper
authorities."
General Mangin was relieved of
his command in the Rhineland be
fore he could take steps in the matter,
but the Saar commission found
10 objection to the project, since* it
was not only gratifying t othe toUrn
of Saar Louis, but was considered
of real utility.
Four hundred children from tfce
French devastated regions this wetk
are disporting themselves royaHy
where royalty did before the whr
wrecked so many thrones. They are
on an outing at the magnificent chateau
of Urville, near Metz, whi^h
belonged to former Emperor William
and which is nof part of t^ie
national domain of France.
This chateau was one of the former
emperor's favorite dwelling
places. It formerly contained ri?h
French tapestries, which were removed
just before the armistice,
along with most of the furnishings.
The chateau will be devoted to the
recreation of children from Northern
France during summer seasoiis.
The fight between Georges Cafrpentier,
European heavyweight bo#c ing
champion, and "Battling" Siki,
the Senegalese aspirant for heavyweight
honors, scheduled for September
10, may leave unsettled the
much discussed question of Carpehi.

there is assurance that it will confirm
his own keen business sense aid
that of his manager, Francois Deschamps.
j
A huge permanent arena, seating
65,000 spectators, will be built fir
this event. Carpentier and Debchamps
each hold 100,000 francs #f
the stock in this enterprise. Together
they hold 40 percent of all
the- stock, and Deschamps is one if
Oie directors! ^
Carpentier has been guaranteed
200,000 francs as his share of the
purse, in addition to 20 per cent if
the' gate receipts, which he will receive
by virtue of being a shareholder.
The arena wil be used not only for
boxing bouts, but for bicycle and foot
races. It will be known as the "Buffalo,"
because the manager formerly
acted in the same capacity for the
Buffalo Bill circus on its French tours
years ago.
Georges is still busy being filmed
in England, and has not begun training
for the bout. He does not- expect
to be free before. August 20.
"Battling" Siki, who possesses
wonderful natural strength, but is
rather awkward with his fists, has
been spirited away to Brittany by
Manager Hellers, in order to get him
away from the seductive glare of
brightly illuminated cafes in Paris,
with their gay company.
Six hundred thousand persons
since the war have visited the Grotto
at Lourdes, attention to which was
called by the recent accident of two
trains filled with pilgrims to that
celebrated faith-healing resort.
A great many of these visitors are1
American tourists who run over from
Pau to witness the unique spectacle
if thousands of pilgrims with candles
forming a continuous procession to
the Grotto, singing "Avia Maria."
Ten thousand people at once time
chant the Credo, while dozens of
crosses and figures of the Virgin
Mary are lighted up on the mountain
top above the famous cathedral.
The entrance to the chapel and to

the cathedral are almost blocked by
piles of crutches that have been cast
off by cripples who have walked'away
from the grotto unaided.
Several trains, each carrying from
600 to 1,000 persons, are now arriving
at Lourdes daily.
A movement is on foot among
American veterans of the French
Foreign I^egion to hold a reunion of
survivors in Paris in 1924 during the
week of July 21, which wil be the
tenth anniversary of the French government's
decision to accept foreign
volunteers in the legion for the duration
of the war. The maximum service
previously had been five years.
Survivors of the Lafayette Escadrille
probably will be asked to participate
in the reunion, as they are
technically members of tkie Foreign
legion.
About 120 American citizens enlisted
in the legion and one-third of
that number were killed in action.
Lieut. Edgar J. Boulign, of New Orleans,
as president of the Association
of American Volunteers with the
Foreign Legion, which was formed
| jubi aner me armisrice, is taxing
charge of arrangements for the reunion.
