He asserts that most of the "good" are obtained from the outhern and south-western dis- tricts of Abyssinia, from the ter- ritories of Galla and of Schan-Talking- halls, and that it is the especial. y gazelle-like, light-brown Galla girls who are most highly esteem. jed as "wives” in Arabia and be-
yond.
These regions are far distant from the central Government of Abyssinin, and as communications are 80 extremely difficult, the jslave-dealers can hardly be check- led. In the Province of Madschie, inhabited by Schankalla Negroes, Herr Gruehl declares, raids are made on the villages, and every lving person is carried off in hains. Those poor creatures are forced to march painfully through the virgin forests to the coast, whence they are transported under cover of darkness in dhows to Arabia. Lightly bound Galla girls, on the other hand are bought in their early youth by Arabian slave- traders, are collected in depots, and finally removed to Arabia.

All that he could gasp before clying was: "I have seeni Smara, I have seen Smara."
The French soldiers of the past nodded to each other signi- | fcantly, for they knew of Smara ns a city of mystery, founded in the heart of burning sands by th? prophet Mu El Ainia, and since become a centre of voodoorism and a nest of desert pirates.

What exactly happened in Smara to Vieucharge, who was only 26, will probably always re- main a secret; but it is know! that he set forth on his adventure several months ago. disguised as Moorish warrior. He travelled for hundreds of miles on the back of a camel, using a compass to guide him. Hoping to write a book about his experiences, he made a few notes en route and took some pictures with a batter-

The brother hopes to assemble the fragmentary notes into read- ble form and will give them. with the photographs, to some scientific society. A move is also being made to have the name of Viucharge listed among the French martyrs who died for science. He is the first European to have entered the city of Smara; although an aeroplane once flew high above it.

Herr Gruehl reports that during a long caravan journey through the Sadero, a virgin forest in Southern Abyssinia, he was the chance wit- ness of terrible scenes. He states: "For hours we had fought our way through darkness and the fear. ful moruss of the forest, where hardly a path could be discovered when we met what we thought was ja drave of animals. But, incredible as it sounds, it was a drove of men and
chained together, women, naked, except for a mere rag that hardly served as a flg leaf, holding naked children by the hand or fearrying them on their backs, and forced onwards through the cling ing morass by merciless drivers.” The explorer had the opportunity of observing closely the alaves in rame of these droves, and found that all their senses were deaden-Song- ed. He noticed a mark on the right arm and between the breasts of the girls, and in conversation with the women he learned that it was their master's mark, which had been burnt into their skin with a hot iron.

"Pilgrim Slaves,”
Lady Simon. who returned re- cently from a week's anti-slavery lecturing campaign in Scotland and elsewhere said, in an interview that, in part, the revelations of Max Graehl were corroborated by M. Kessel and the members of the mission which was sent out by "Le Matin" early this year to tour Abyssinia with the object of in- vestigating slavery in those parts of the world. The information ob- tained by the mission had created a sense of horror at the methods of trading in slaves which was going on there.
