Ethiopian Heat, Drought Almost |
Defeated Marines After Treaty!
By LOREN T. CASEY
Picturé a group of American naval
men traveling across the Abyssinian |
deserts in 1903. Their supplies
equipment are loaded on camels and |
mules. The men themselves are mount- |
ed. They are en route to the then mys- |
[terious capitol of Ethiopia at Addis |
Ababa to interview no less a personage
than King Menelik himself. !
This strange pilgrimage was inspired
by President Theodore Roosevelt, who
was anxious to get a treaty signed by
the Ethiopian monarch. It was the only
time, so far as the records show, that
armed men of our nation ever pene-
trated into the heart of Abyssinia.
Their mission : was entirely
peace and friendship.
Official reports of this expedition
read like fiction. They tell of threats!
from savage tribes; hordes of monkeys
scrambling in mad haste at the ap-
pearance of the travelers; nights of
ceaseless vigil in the African wilds,
and forced marches after sundown to
avoid the terrific heat of the lowlands.
There was a scarcity of water. Once
an open rebellion on the part of the
native camel drivers threatened to halt
the progress of the party. But even-
tually the greup reached the capital |
after three weeks of trekking over the
primitive and sometimes hostile coun-
try.
Twenty-six Americans took part in
the expedition. They were Robert P.
Skinner, U. S. Commissioner. Lieuten-
ant C. L. Hussey, of the Navy; Cap-
tain G. C. Thorpe, of the Marine Corps, |
eighteen enlisted marines and five |
bluejackets. |
The rest of the party was composed |
of © Arabs, Abyssinians, and native
camel drivers of the Dankali tribe, re- |
one of |
puted to be the most savage and re- |
bellious people of Ethiopia. Incidental- |
ly, two of the camel leaders were wo- |
men. |
At that time ‘Abyssinia’s only rail-
way stretched about 150 miles inland |
from the seaport at Jibuti to Diredawa.
At this point the oddly-assorted group |
was mobilized and the approximately |
350-mile journey to the capital began.
created trouble right
from the start. After the second day’s
trek they refused point blank to go any
farther unless they chose their own
route. Their leader was trussed with |
a rope and told he would be dragged |
along the chosen route if he did not
go voluntarily. This, together with the
fact that his followers were confronted
with the muzzles of the marines’ load-
ed and aimed rifles, made him change
his mind.
At another point the party was
threatened by the King of the Danka-
lis, who demanded a sum equal to
about fifty dollars. Again there was a
demonstration by the sea soldiers, and
the king and his followers withdrew. |
The trail followed was part moun-
tainous and part desert. Camp sites
were prepared after the fashion of
covered-wagon days. Men and supplies
occupied the inner circle, with a row
of camels and mules at its outer rim.
Perhaps their greatest difficulty was
the securing of an adequate water
supply, of which there was a great
all drinking water, but even muddy |
and tainted water was scarce. Once
they broke camp at midnight in order
HELP KIDNEYS!
STOP GETTING UP NIGHTS
How can you feel bright and spry in the
morning when your sleep is broken because
you have to get up three or four times dur-
ing the night. This is Nature's warning of
poorly functioning kidneys—they’'re not
cleaning your blood of the poisons that cause

The country was then infested, and

A strange mixture of hostility and
encountered by the
group. The tribes remote from Mene-
lik’s rule proved troublesome, but
those near the capital proved more |
friendly and extended every hospitality |
to the strangers. Long lines of natives,
bringing supplies of food, often invad- |
ed the camp to make their gifts in the |
name of the king.

All of the naval men had shifted into.
dress uniforms and were prepared to
meet Menelik in style. But their com-
ing had long been awaited in Addis|
Aba
Hills and plains were covered with
thousands of warriors and chiefs, fan-
tastically dressed in lions or leopard
skins, some of them decorated with
lions’ manes or ostrich feathers. Each
warrior carried a rhinoceros hide
shield, a spear and a rifle, Some of
{them were mounted on splendid Arab
| horses or zebra-like mules, many of
them richly caparisoned.

eager warrior back into his place.
With a/fanfare of ‘trumpets and the
beating of tom-toms the officers and |
magines rode forward to be ushered |
into the presence of the king. Some-
where a crude native band struck up
the Star-Spangled Banner. The King,
sitting on his feet and nearly buried in
cushions received them, ‘
Menelik greeted the diplomatic party
cordially, and the inhabitants were
(friendly and hospitable during the ten
days the visitors remained there, The |
and presents of]
treaty was signed,
lion cubs and ivory were received as a
gift for the American President. Mene-
lik even had special medals made for
the party, inscribed with the
Lion among lions, king among kings!”
The return journey was made with-
out any unusual incident and in two
days’ less time than the twenty-one
days it had required to reach Addis |
Ababa. The Americans rejoined their
one of the
oddest expeditions ever made. in .the
| history of American diplomacy.

FARM CALENDAR

| SWEET CORN IS POPULAR
Sixty sweet corn variety demanstra-
tions were conducted by extension
workers in Pennsylvania this year.
Yellow corn is becoming more popu-
|lar. However, some sections still pre-
| fer white varieties, especially for can-
[ning and drying.
FERTILIZE WHEAT CROP
For wheat on the average Pennsyl-
|vania soil the principal need is phos-
|phoric acid and the best fertilizer in-
|vestment generally is superphosphate.
As long as this produces as good yields
as mixed fertilizer, one need not wor-
/|ry about anv bad effect on soil fertility.
CONTROL TREE BORERS
Application of para-dichlorobenzene
to control peach tree borers should be
made before September 30 in sections
where the soil cools early. In south-
eastern Pennsylvania, material applied
as late as October 15 will be effective.
PROTECT THE LAWN
Grass on the lawn should not be cut
short in the fall. Stop cutting the lawn
iwhen the grass is still growing so as
ito permit a growth of 3 to 4 inches
before snow falls or before there is a
killing frost.
CUT DITCHING COSTS
| Use of explosives often will reduce
[the cost of handling the soil in open
{ditching for the drain outlets. This is
particularly true where stumps and
roots obstruct the drainage line.
PREVENT MILK ODORS
Prover methods of feeding and
handling will result in most cases in
the comnvlete elimination of trouble
with milk odors. Feed after milking any
feed which will taint the milk. Aerate
the milk and cool it promptly to re-
tard increase in/the number of bac-
teria. Keep cows and barns clean. Have
a_proper ventilating system.
