New York, July 13.--"We work by day and weep at night," was the remark of a German woman#in a hos- pital in Berlin to Miss Angela Mor- gan, the poetess, and Miss Rebecca Shelly, delegates to the recent Wo- man's Peace Congress at The Hague, | who arrived home on the Holland- American liner Rotterdam. Following the adjournment of the congress, at which Miss Shelly was the youngest delegate, she and Miss Morgan went into Germany 'to get the German point of view," as Miss Morgan expressed it to-night at the Woodstock. "Between Rotterdam "and mouth," said. Miss Morgan, "three British ships were torpedoed in the path of our ship, including the Ley- land liner Armenian We -passed through the wreckage of the sunken ghips and during the time that we were detained we saw submarines, Zeppeling, torpedo boat destroyers and other machines of war and' wit- gessed the départure of the. gteam ship Franconia, now a British trans- port, with 3,000 splendid young sol- diers on board, bound for the Dar- danelles, "In connection with that we were witnesses of a most inspiring and saddening incident. On the tran- sport the young soldiers were cheer- ing 'and shouting &ll the day long. One night, as by common impulse, they all burst into the strains of "Tipperary." They sang it through and there was silence for a minute, then suddenly, from our ship Ver- non Styles, the Amerscan venor, who had been singing at the Saxon court, Avon- singing through.a magaphone, burst | into the strains of 'Auld Lang Syne,' Following that he sang "Annie Lau- rie." It was perfectly beautiful As -his voice died out across the wa- ter another period of silence fell and then, from the throats of the 3,000 young men about to sail away to the horrors of war, there same a long, | ringing cheer." In Germany the two young Ame- rican peace advocates had several dispiriting experiences. "We were In Berlin at a soup kit- chen," Miss Shelly sald, "and were talking with a friend when the wo- man in charge of the kitchen ap- proached and said, not unkindly but with deep woe. 'Please do not talk English, I cannot bear to hear it,' "We learned later that she had lost in the war her husband, her two sons and her two son-in-laws. Every male member of her family had fal- | len." "There is a wonderful spirit every- where in Germany," Miss Morgan continued, "The soldiers sing as they march away, the children and grownups sing in the street, whole people seem to be living in a state of wonderful spiritual exalta- tion." + "The women of Germany are unit- ed in the efforts to do the work which was abandoned by the men when the summons to war came." Miss Shelly said, "Twenty different kinds of plants which formerly were regarded as' weeds have been adapt- ed to food uses. THe only shortage of food that we saw was in bread. And to poly this shortage they have resorted to the most ingenious devices. For instance they made bread new from beans, chestnuts, al- monds, potatoes and rice. And as to the methods of cultivation thére is not a foot of soil left untilled. Travelling through the country by train we found that they had cultiva- ted the land right down to the side of the railroad tracks." Neither Miss Morgan nor Miss Shelly saw signs of an end of the war, There is dissension among the woman's «clubs of Germany be- cause some sent delegates to The Hague. ------------ DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS IN CHINA Many Lives Are Reported Lost in Kwantung and Kwangsi, Washington, July 13.+-Loss of many lives as the result of unprece- dented floods in the provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi, China, was announced" to-day in a despatch to the State Department from Consul- Genera] Cheshire at Canton.

Following is an extract from his frank confession: "Heré I was on the verge of realiz- ing the thing that I had wanted most for over a year; and suddenly I] found, to my utter amazement, that I didn't want it. "I was disgusted with myself, I be- rated myself soundly for a cad and a coward, but I could not change the feeling. With the drowning man's panoramic eye I saw all the choicest moments of my bachelor days, remembered the gay, irresponsible times that my best man and I had had 'together, That was a pretty good life, after all, that we led, our old bachelor apartment was a good old place, I thought to myself. And I was leaving it I had always heard that folks with curly hair were fickle, and had dismissed the saying as idle; superstitious chatter. ' Now it flashed upon me that my hair is curly; I knew in an Instant that the saying was true. My hair was curly I was fickle; here was the first evidence of it. I was on the edge of my marriagé, and didn't want to marry. "Suppose the cursed weakness, my 'fickleness, were to follow me through life. Suppose I were to find that my lové was not strong enough. I | was twenty-five; we would probably be married forty years. Forty years --the thought staggered me. Love's Meeting. Frank IL.

The climate on the wholo is healthfu] and eminently suited for Enropeans, though malarial fever is prevalent in the sub-tropica) north, Before the war it supportad a white population of 14,830 people, with some 250,000 natives." The territory's three great natural sources of wealth are minerals; pas ture land and agriculture land, Great Mineral Wealth, Says the atithority above quoted: "The minera] wealth has been the most considerable source of prosper- ity sinee 1908, and it is certain to be {an important factor in the future de. velopment of the country. The dia. Mond fields form a rich treasure housa, and immense quantities of the precious 'stones of fire' still lie in the sunds of the Namib. The fields ex- ténd from Conception Bay (100 miles south of Swakopmund) ¢6 An- gras Juntas, a distance of about 260 miles, but they are intersected in many places by hills and ridges and tracts of worthless sand. The vari- ous producing companies, the great majority of which are German; hold a fifty years' lease from the German Colonial Company, and together he- fore the war broke out they employ- 5,000 natives and colored man, From 1908 to the end of 1913 gems to the value of $35,622, 000 had been recoveréd. "How long will these fields last? The experts differ, as, owing to the vast extent of the country over which the diamondiferous gravel is scat tered and the varying depths of the deposits, it is extremely difficult to estimate the life of the fields. The period has been variously put at eight, fifteen, and twenty years. New deposits may be discovered, although extensive prospecting operations haves not resnltéd in any finds for some time, Volecani¢ 'pipes' con- taining the well-known Kimberlite have been found in the Gibeon,Beth- any, and Kestmanshoop districts, but careful tests have shown them to be barren of diamonds." Dr, Versfeld, who has gvien some dttention to the geological problems of, South-west Africa, ventures to af- firm the discovery of diamond-bear- ing pipes "considerably nearer to the Ludaritzbucht deposits than those at present known seems wel] within the bounds of probability' Dr. Wag- ner, the well-known South African mining authority, states in his "Dia- mond Mines of Southern Africa," that the "primary deposit, or prim- ary deposits, lie buried beneath the sea somewhere off Pomona." At the same time he says that "a long and prosperous career may confi- dently be predicted for the industry" | i in South-west /grica Next to the diamond fields the cop- per mines rank in importance. The value of the cdpper exported in 1913 was $1,982,180. In the opinion of experts, there is no doubt that the country will supply copper and.cop- per ores in increasing quantities for many years to come, : Prospecting work has been done in connection with gold, tin, iron, lead, sulphur, etc, but the gesults have béen somewhat disappointing, - al- though immense deposits of iron and tin ores are known to exist. 'A seam of coal has been found, and the Ger mans had begun to exploit immense layers of white and colored marble of excellent quality. iii Pasture Land of Great Value. The second source of wealth in the territory is the pasture land. Dr. William Macdonald, the South Afri- can agricultural expert, who visited the colony a couple of years ago, de. scribed it as a land of enormous agri- cultural possibilities, destiped to be. come one of the finest ranch coun- tries in the 'world. Dr. Rohrbich, the German Im ria) Emigration Commissioner, and a well-known writér on economics, wrote about it as follows: : "From the Oratige River in the south to the Kunéne in the north, and from the Namib in the west to the Kalahari in the east, its vegeta. tion and conformation re those pa sub-tropical steppe gras eotintry, which is marked out by Na ture herself for cattle ng." everywhere, ows of Life's might, | OF ne thanks, . : head Lov a1 ory Dunkat | --Why, 1 saw him tying yout |or Ponts, a lucrative industry canbe es- tablished in frozen cattle and sheep. Its Agricultural Possibilities. A3 to 'the agricultural lands, the 1,330 farms mentioned above com- prise an' area of 33,484,015 acres, but of this huge area only 13,000 acres are actually under eultifidon. This is ascribed to the sandy nature of the soil and the dryness of the cli- mate. Four-tenths-of the cultivat- ed land is in the well-watered Groot. fontein district, while another three- tenths is in the Windhuk district. Mealles, potatoes, lucerne, melons, vegetables, grapes and tobacco are the principa] articles grown. Much might be done bY improved methods of farming and /means of irriga- tion, since the land is quite fertile. The Germans had planned a great scheme oF irrigation. The Landes. rsely populat- ! rat, as a beginning, made provision. in the Supplementary Estimates for 1913-14- for extensive schemes in connection with the Fish River. Huge reservoirs were to have heen con- structed, with an indefinitd number of minor works such as dams and weirs, and great benefits were ex- pected from these measures, Un- til such schemes as these are, carried out agrieulture will continue to play a very subordinate- part in South. west African industry. Development of the territory here- fore has been hampered by a doarth of capital and official restrictions, for the Government policy of settling the land has been charaetorized by a vigorous application of the pgnciple of Germanization. British occupa- tion of the country surely will lead to far more rapid development with an influx of eapital, especially for ex- ploiting its mining possibilities When First European Landed. It is interesting to récall in con- nection with the conquest of this im. mensa territory that it was on the shores of the Bay of Bartholomew that in 1486 the Portuguese eéxplor- er Diaz effected the first recorded European landing on -Afrlean soil south of the Equator. He set up a marble cross on a prominent spur on 'the south side of tha bay, which in consequence beari the hame Ped- esta] Point, though the cross has long since been removed. But it ap- pears to have stood undisturbed for three centuries. In 1825 ({t was still there, bit broken., Apparent- ly it was still seen from the sea in 1844, for Morell, writing in that year, describes Pedestal Point as "a high bluff point rendered conspicu- ous by a marble cross erected on the summit in 1486, by Bartholomew Diaz." Pieces are.now at Lisbon, and'a fragment in the South African Museum; the rest has disappeared. Diaz named the bay Angra dos Tl- heos--tha bay of the islets--with reference. to the chain of islands which make it almost. land-locked. This name soon gave place to Angra Pequena--the little bay--by which it was generally known until the Ger- an occupation. Since that time the bay has been officially called Lu- deritzbueht, in honor of the mer. chant Luderitz, to whom its occupa- tion was immediately due. 1 i3 ox. tremely likely that under the British regime its former namo of Angra Pequena will be restored, .
