WO years ago, or a
little moro, all Lu-
ropo was electrified
by tho news that
Africa lind been
travorBod by Lieut.
Paul Graetz of the
German army In nn
automobile Ills
thrilling adventures
on this daring and
plucky expedition
are of too recent occurrence to have
been entirely forgotten.
To have crossed Africa In an auto-
mobile la no mean boast, whon ono
lemembers that thero are no roads
find no repair or gaflollno supply
f)torf en route. The Capn-to-Calro
railway that f;reat dream of a truly
reat empire builder, Cecil Rhodes Is
fant Hearing completion; and In a
year, or perhaps a little moro, travel
ers may Journey In luxurious com
fort by train and steamer from Capo
Town to Aioxnndrla. Thoy who do
this will be ablo then to realize to tho
fullest posElblo extent what tho
ploifters of travel In tho African hin
terland had to contend with.
Ono would think that to bring to
a successful termination such a gl
can tic feat as that which Lieutenant
Graetz set himself in his famous Af
rican automobllo expedition would ly
nufllclent to satisfy evon tho most
gluttonous appetlto for adventure Yet
It Is typical of Lieutenant Oraotz that
tie should not rest contont with this
one truly great achievement.
His project, undertaken on behalf
of tho African World, waB to cross
tho great and practically unknown re
gions of Central Africa from tho In
llan to the Atlantic ocean, by way
of tho Zambesi river, Lako nang
weolo, and tho Congo river How
ever, not by nutomobllo this tlmo, but
by motor boat. This offorcd some
thing unlquo In tho way of African
travel. It meant hardships and dis
appointments innumerable, but what
of that7
Ho mapped out a routo that would
take him from Qutllmano, tho port on
tho coast of Portugueno East Africa,
to tho mysterious Lako Hangwcolo,
by way of tho Wvor Quaqua, Lacor
donia, Itlvcr Shire, Port Herald, Chi
cunna, Fort .Tohnstono, Lako Nyassa,
Karonga, and then ncross tho wator
hed to Fife. Tho motor-boat was
upeciauy prepared lor tins pari or mo i

tine on land
From Flfo ho decldod to travel by
way of-tho Chnmbosl river, Kablnga,
and thus arrive at the shores of tho
umall Inland soa. Lako nangweolo,
upon which no white man had over
sailed. After spending somo tlmo ex
ploring this unknown wntor and col
lecting specimens of aquatic and land
life, Oraetz planned to push on to tho
-Atlantic by way of tho Luapula, Lako
Woru, Pauln, Kasengo, Lukongzolva,
Klambl, Stanleyville. Coqulllhatvlllo,
Yumbl nnd Lcopoldvlllo, and thus to
tho mouth of the Congo.
Take up n map of Africa and traco
out this routo for yourBolf, and you
may realize in part what this stupen
dous Journey of six thousand miles
(allowing for the necessarily tortuous
routo to bo followed) moant to Lieu
tonant Oraetz and his companion, tho
French cinematograph oparator, Mon
clour Octavo Ficro,
i Oraetz had heard of tho magic
Lnko Dangweolo from tho Awomba
tribe. It had a slnlstor reputation
mmong tho natlvo trlbos rosldent both
near and far from its shores, Tho
'Awomba people told him that nang
weolo was studded with Islands, on
which wero to bo found colossal ole
1hantB and gigantic Blrnffos, whllo on
"ItB walerB swam hugo sca-sorponta
nnd other sirango cfoaturos. From
tho surface of tho lako hot springs
roso and fell like fountains in tho air;
and pestilential winds, swooping
across tho reedy marshes, carried
death to nil living beings.

Danto'B Tnforno! No nativos ventur

fantastically shaped canoes had over

trlbos as a eort of Hadoo, whoro do
partod souls Bufforod continually Mm
tnoBt dreadful torments; whllo others
again thought that It was tho ap
proach to Paradise, whoro tho spirits
of tholr dead relatives onjoyed per
fect life under tho protection of tholr
Rods.
It was known to ho Bunounded by
thick nnd tinponotrablo rushes, mak
ing Its exploration a mattor of groat
difficulty The great prlzo which
Oraotz hoped to socuro In addition to

to be unusually fierce and dangerous,
but this did not deter Gniotz and his
plucky companion from tholr ndvon
turous quest after them.
Lieutenant Oraetz loft Dorlln on
February 25, 1911, accompanied by
Fiero and his motor-launch, tho Snrot-

mado at Qiilllmano for their plunge
Into tho wilderness.

. and the two explorers sot forth on
their adventurous Journey. Mllo by
mllo thoy mado their way up tho Qua
qua, Shire, nnd-so to Lako Nyassa.
Wo will pass lightly over this sec
tion of tho groat Journey, for It waa
similar to many another African trip
trip by boat on river and lako. Hut
onco they had reached Karonga their"
real difficulties commenced. Tho
motor-launch had to bo pushed on Its
whools across tho watershed by tho
so-called Stovenson road which Is no
road at all in tho generally accepted
meaning of tho word to Flfo and
thenco to tho Chambosl river, so that
Lako Dangweolo might eventually bo
reached Whoro obstructions Impeded
progressand thero wero countless
numborB of such places they had to
bo ovOrcomo. Trees had to bo felled,
Btrcama bridged, hills climbed, and
bush cleared from tho solf-mado path.
After days and days of toll In ter
rific tropical heut, tho voyagerB reach
od tho banks of tho Chambesl river
and ngaln took to tho water courses.
This part.of the trip wns full of dan
gers, unexpected and entirely Impos
sible to guard against.
All wont well with them until thoy
had nearly reached tho shores of tho
mysterious Lako nangweolo. Then
disaster, dlro and dreadful, overtook
them. Within sight of tholr goal thoy
woro ovorcomo by a cruel, rolentloss
fato.
At dawn on Soptembor third, tho
blood-red morning sun triumphantly
roso over tho summit of tho dark
chnln of tho MuchemwaT mountains,
bathing all nature In Its glorious
beauty. It bartfl them rise and con-

tholr gasoline and rowed. Moreover,
thero woh) many Bhallow channels' to i
bo negotiated and those wero the i
moro easily navlgatod without uso of
tho motor
For a time nothing -unusual hap-'
nonoil. Thorn n. -i f tt '
beyond occasional birds along the
rlvor banks. At " last a convenient
plnco to land and partako of break
fast waa found, nnd tho two mon ran
tno launch Into tho bank. Tho cook
and servants busliv Htlrrnd thnm-
solvoa to proparo tho delayed meal.
Hut suddenly thoy stood petrified
with astonishment. Not moro than
fifty paces from them, closo to the
rlvor bank, stood threo mighty buf
falo, watching them with wondering
eyes' Thoy had appeared sotfllontly
through tho- undergrowth and reeds
that no ono had had warning of tholr
approach. Thoso woro no ordinary
buffalo. Thoy woro gigantic nnd Bug
gostlvo of prehistoric typos.
Sllonco, doop and Improsslvo, Hko
that sllonco which foroshadows death,
rolgned for a brlof moment. Then
Lloutennnt Oraotz awoko to tho dan
ger that threatened them. With tho
almost automatic precision of tho ad
venturer In savago lands, ho unBlung
his rifle. Tho Frenchman, Flore, fol
lowed his example Oraotz fired tho
momont his chook rosted along tho
butt of his Mauaqr rlflo and tho sights
camo on, Hang! tho Bhot rang out,
awakening tho bird llfo nnd echoing
through the troos boyond them nnd
then faintly back again. Tho lending
buffalo Btumblod and -fell on his
knoes, roso again, shook his pondor
ous head In mingled angor nnd pain,
und thon, dashing up tho rlvor bank,
galloped from Bight into tho bushes.
Tho othor two followed their wound
ed brother's oxnmplo.
Moanwhllo Floro stood ready to flrd
In caso of necessity, but thoro wns no
furthor nood now. Intermittently
through tho undorgrowth tho two
men caught glimpses of tho buffaloes'
Bhaggy forms as thoy followed tho
courso of tho Rtream toward tho lako.
Hut presently thoy saw but, two of
thorn. What had becomo of tno third,
thoy uBked themselves, Thoy wero
not out of dangor yet, apparently.
Perhaps tho third anlmnl still kept
company with his fellows but was
hldden by tho bushes; moro likely
Btlll, ho had loft them tho surest I
possible sign that ho was soverely
wounded. Good! Thoy would got him '
yot. "Dos enffer Qraotzll" would read
well In museum records and zoological ,
books, thought Oraetz to himself. I
Tho doclHlon to follow nnd kill tho I
wounded giant was quickly rached.
Droakfast- waa forgotton. Lenvlnc tho '
, cook nnd two of the natlvo folio wors i
j onod off on the trail of tho buffalo. It
was not hard to follow. Largo smears
of blcod were to bo seen everywhere,
on bushes, on rocks, on tho lir.ro soil
and against "-ecu It showed ;5ilnly.

I'liamueFi ami lioaihni undouhtedl for
tho shelter of Lako nangweolo.
Hour after hour wont by nnd still
Mie two hunters kopt stondlly track
Ing tho boast. Tho sun cltmbod high
Into tho heavens until It was directly
ovorhoad, scorching everything and
ovoryono with Ma fiery rays. Out tho
whlto mon and tholr followora
-covered with wood, i was iym8

thought little of that. Thoy wero pos
sessed by an all-powerful lust for tho
blood of this now mammoth of the
African Jungles. Besides, until they
had killed, they could not rest and
ent; their sporting Instincts would not
permit this until all hopo of success
was lost. Tho truo sportsman never
desorts a wounded quarry until ho
has killed It.
At Jast, after bIx hours of fruitless
search, nnturo demanded a temporary
nan. it was aftor midday. Oraetz
decided to havo tho motor-launch
brought up to them and a man was
sent back to got It. In tho mean
time tho two white men rested. In
thrco hours tho launch reached them
and tho cook immediately began to
proparo a satisfying lunch for tho
tired and famished huntors. Break
fast and lunch would havo to bo
merged Into ono meal. This la not
an infrequent occurrenco In African
travel, and the two mon wero accus
tomed to It.
Whllo tho meal was under prepara
tion, Oraetz sent three of tho "boys"
to search further for the wounded
buffalo, for ho was positlvo that It
must bo somewhere in their vicinity.
He offered his followers a liberal
"bakshish" and with this Incontlvo to
a speedy location of tho buffalo, thoy
namonea orr into tho bush. Break
fast and lunch wns Just about to bo
served whon tho "boys" camo ran-
! nlng back to announce that they had
iouiiu tno wounded buffalo lying in
tho long grass near tho river. So
much good luck had been hopod for.
but hardly expected.
Oraetz and Fiero roso excitedly to
u'clr feet nnd got their rifles. They

cruel polntB of tho buffalo's wldo
Bweeplng horns.
Snorting with extromo fury, tho
hugo boast nosed under the llouten
ant, who was now lying prostrate on
tho ground, trying to toss him. At
last Oraotz sprang to his feot and
clung with nil his strength to tho
hornB of tho beast, in tho vain hopo
thai, severely wounded as tho buffalo
was, ho might glvo way before his
own strength, or that Flere might
got a chanco for a second shot, For
a few brief mlnutos, which seemed
hours to Oraotz, man and beast pitted
their strength against each other's,
Tho hugo denizen of tho forests was
rapidly tiring from loss of blood, but
Oraotz was no match for tho strength
of tho enormous beaBt. It all hap
pened In a few mlnutos; tho buffalo
tried to ahako tho man off, and, as
ho flung IiIb shnggy head from sldo to
Hide, tho point of his loft horn pierced
Its way deep Into Oraotz's right!
check. He cried out with pain and
then folt hlmsolf suddenly hurled up
ward Into tho air and consciousness
left him.
In tho moantlme, Fiero had como
gallantly to his companion's roscuo,
unmindful of his own dangor. Ho
fired, but succeeded only in making
tho buffalo moro Infuriated. Tho sav
age beaBt turned rapidly upon hlra
and tossed him ropeatodly Into tho
nlr, tearing his body dreadfully,
Thon, as if worn out with its tor
rifle efforts to avongo tho attack on
itaelf, tho buffulo topplod over dead
bosldo tho bodies of Us foes.
In a recent lettor Graetz himself
boBt describes what happened next.
His account Is a graphic, yet simply
worded, norratlvo of heroic resource
fulness. In my travels In Africa I
havo mot two men Col. Eric Smith
of tho Horse Guards, and Mr. ncn
Jnmln Eastwood, tho chief accountant
of tho Uganda railway who have
actually amputated their own arms
when dlro necessity demanded It, but
i can conceive or naming moro cour-
ngoous than Lieutenant Oraotz's own
solf-accompllBhod surgery. Far from
medical nld, with his companion In
mUfortuno gored to tho point of
doath, sufforlng ludescrlbablo agony,
Oraotz acted expeditiously and aavod
"Is ow" Ufa by IiIb ready courago
In the dayB when anesthetics wero
an unknown quantity, men and wnm.
en had perforce to bear all manner
bodios and wo aro uunblo to onduro
pnln bb did our forefathers. Yot to
bo ublo to amputnto an nrm or sow up
terrlblo wounds for oneself Is a thins
that was rarely dono In tho past ages.
In Africa, It 'a not nn uncommon
thing It Boema only fitting that. In a
country whoro tho natlvoB themselves
boar pain with stoical Indlfferonco,
tho white man, who oxlsts safely only
by IiIb own proof of being a superior
being, should show tho aamo wonder
ful bravory.
"I awoke," wrltos Oraotz, when suf
flclontly rocoverod to put poa. to pa-
on mo nvor Dank, with tho motoi
boat at my foot, supported by twq
howling native servants.
"'Whoro is Flr-ro?' 1 asked.
"'Tho others aro bringing him; ho
will die soon, too,' they replied.
"And tho buffalo?'
"'Dead,' was the laconic reply.
"A thick flood of blood was contin
ually flowing from my mouth and tho
right sldo of my faco. Tho natives
lifted mo into the boat, nml with
! ovcry moment tho blood (lowed fnstor.
"'Quick,' I managed to gasp, 'the
medlclno chest!'
"Thoy brought It to mo. Thero was
only ono thing to do and that quickly.
Sew, now, sew! Terrible necessity
taught ' me how to ply tho surgical
noedlc. With a native holding my
shaving-mirror before mo and nnothor
supporting mo by tho shoulders, I
thrust tho needlo through tho flesh.
A Jagged, irregular holo as largo as
my hand gaped In my right cheek:
my under lip hung loosely quivering.
Under tho horrified gazo of tho na
tives I Jabbed tho bent needlo again
and again into my flesh and cobbled
tho tattered ends togother.
"Tho pain was oxcruclatlng. Heav
en alono helped mo to keep my
sotiBes. To this day I do not know
how I managed to do It. Tho lower
Jaw waB broken In two places near
tho oar and near tho Up and from
this crushed mass o long splinter of
bono with three teeth attached hung
loosely by tho nerves and flesh of tile
gums. Tho whole outer flesh of the
lowor Jaw was scraped loose. Teeth,
roots and bones lay white and shim
moring through tho hole In my cheek.
My tonguo. pierced by tho point of
tho buffalo's horn, was half torn
from Its foundations. I Bpat contin
uously splinters of bono and teeth.
"At last tho operation was finished
to tho best of my ability, and I ban
daged by face aa best I knew how.
A strong stimulant gave mo new life
and helped me to face the other sur
gical oporatlon for Fiero.
"In tho meantime tho tent had been
erected and a bod prepared for my
poor companion, from whom James,
the cook, had already cut the clothes
with a palr of sciBsors. Ho had re
covered consciousness, and softly his
pale lips formed tho words, 'trea
mauvals' (very bad). He had been
pierced and tossed threo times. The
left breast muscle hung loose; heart
and lungs were untouched. In the
left side, between heart and hip, was
a great tear. This wound I imme
diately sowed together. James wash!'
ed, bandaged and put Fiero to bed.
Ho breathed regularly, and seemed
to sleep.
"Night fell dark and dismal a
night full of pain, during which my
mouth seemed full of red-hot stones.
Toward morning a short, troubled
sloop gave mo temporary relief froni
my awful agony. With the grny light
of dawn I awoko to fresh tortures
Everything was deadly still. I sum
moned tho servants by clapping my
hands and they opened the tent door.
Then I arose and crossed over to
Flore's bed. Tho first light of daj
fell on n pale, shrunken face. It was
death."
So, on tho very threshhold of suc
cess, ono was taken and the other
left, a shattered wreck. Far from all
aid and alono with his native ser
vants, Lieutenant Graetz faced the
situation as only a man of his call
bor could. Ono of tho natives wai
dispatched at onco to Kasama, In
northeastern Rhodesia, to summon
help. ThU was the nearest point In
habited by whlto men.
Dr. O. F. Randall, tho district sur
geon, and Mr. Cookson, tho magis
trate of Kasama, marched day nnd
night for two days to his relief
Hastily further operations were per
formed under tho most difficult clr
cumstances. And then, on nn Itn
provlBod atretcher, Qrnetz was cap
rled to Kasama. Ono can imagine
tho painful Journoy, a Journey ren
dered all tho moro pitiful because ol
the loss of his trusted assistant. The
rollof party burled poor Fiero at
Charonama, but later his' body will
be brought to Kasama and ro-lnterred
there by tho white fathers of the
Catholic mission.
To most men this disastrous set
back would prove an Insurmountable
hindrance to the completion of the
program; but with Lieutenant Graeti
It was dlfforent. Ho haB started
again and will continue his Journey
until It Is completed -or until death
claims him. Ho Intends to roach the
mouth of tho Congo by tho end of the
year. A man of superlatlvo grit, who
flinches from na dangers and who
knows not what the words fear and
defeat mean!
Ho Is entitled to a placo in Jtlstorj
beside Llvlngstono, Stanley, Gordon
and tho others, yot probably he will
bo forgotten except by those who
fully appreciate all ho has achieve'!
for science. When wo head ut the
end of tho year that ho has traversed
tho dark continent from east to west,
wo eliall know that ho has done whnt
ho Bald ho would do, dosplto tho dim
cutties In his path. Shall wo ail
recognize whnt this means? Some
may thoso who, perchanco, ha70
dona similar deeds, or thoso whe
know tho African continent and all
Its lurking dangers. Do not forget
that lonoly, mangled form lying bo
neath tho earth In far away Kasama

DR. DUMBA, AUSTRIA'S NEW ENVOY
Dr. Constantln Theodore Dumba.
the now ambassador of Austria and
Hungnry, arrived In Washington a
few days ago.
Tho new ambassador was born In
Austria, June 17, 1SE6, and has been
in diplomatic servlco since 1879. HIa
last diplomatic post was a minister
in Stockholm, Sweden, where ho be
came acquainted with many Amor
lcansat tho last Olympic gamea. Ho
has not beon In America before.
Dr. Dumba Inherited tho rich es
tate of his uncle, Dr. Nicholas Dumba,
who was a promlnont figure in Amer
ica's industrial and political life, and
also was known as a great patron of
arts. It Is expected that Dr. Dumba
will play as Important a part In
Washington's social life as his prede
cessor, Baron Hcngelmuller. Tho
now ambassador is married, but his
wife will notTollow him until next
month. It Is consldored probable ho
will find tho present quarters of the
embassy Inadequate, and look for a moro suitable homo before her arrival.
It had been reported that Dr. Dumba twice refused tho appointment to
Washington. He now says that ho refused only temporarily, because" his.
own affairs demanded his attention In Europe for a while, and because he
thought beBt to await tho change of administration In Washington.
Dr. Dumba waB asked if Austria-Hungary again would exercise her
veto right In case tho election of a now Popo should it becomo necessary In
tho near futuro.
"I do not think so," was tho answer of the ambassador. "First of all,
his holiness is still alive, and I hopo bis llfo will bo spared for a long time.

E. H. R. Green, son of Hetty Green,
still was slnglo when ho passed
through St. Louis tho other day on
his way from New York to Texas.
- Two and a half years ago tho Col

papers of hie deslro for a modest,
old-fashioned, Btay-at-home, fireside
wife, who would not worry about
how much qllinony sho would get
whon tho big low camo.
All tho girls spoko nt onco. Or at
least thousands of lotters poured In
upon tho colonel from thousands of
womon who know thoy wero Just
what ho wanted.
Tho colonel took a look at tho
pile of letters and becamo pessimis

who proposed could not possibly bo

Tho colonel still Is getting pro
