It has resolved that the conquered German lonies shall be given back to the Empire, and that expiation shall be offered to the natives and German planters for all damage done mater- fally and otherwise. German in- terests have been Injured, and the German cause insulted. For all this adequate Compensation must be de- manded. The Colonial Society states that for political and economic reasons it is absolutely necessary that all col- onies possessed by Germany before the outbreak of the waFmust be re- stored, and not only restored, but with additional territory. In a | lengthy communication to the press the Society explains that unless this demand is insisted on German pres- tige in Africa will be diminished, and in numerous districts the black- white-red flag of the Empire will be brought into disrepute. It is abso- lutely necessary, we are told, that native Africans shall be in no doubt as to who is victor in this world- war. "If we are victorious in the European theatres of war we must leave no doubt in the minds of Afri- can natives that we are also vie: torious in Africa."

An answer to'an inquiry as to the origin of" "John Bull": Every coun- try has a nickname and Is represent- ed in pjetures by an animal. The British \lion is the spa that stands f&r England, and John Bull is its owner and master. The lion is the country; John Bull is the na- tion. "The name of John Bull comes from a work written by John Ar- buthnet, a witty doctor and writer, a great friend of Swift and Pope. He was born in 1667 in Scotland and died in 1735. The sketch he wrote dealt with political affairs of Europe at the time, and the coun- tries were made to appear as men and women. England was John Bull and Queen Elizabeth was Mrs. Bull. The church was Mr. Bull's mother. Scotlamd was John Bull's sister Peg. England, the nation and country was made to appear like a good-natured man but not without faults.
