SLAVE TRADE IN AFRICA.

TERRIBLE REVELATIONS BY GERMAN EXPLORER.

GIRLS TRANSPORTED IN CHAINS TO ARABIA.

Herr Max Gruchl, who recently returned from his Ethiopian ex pedition, relates, in the German newspaper Zwolf Uhr Blatt, that, notwithstanding all the ellarta of the League of Nations, hundreds of slave, ospecially slave girls, are transported annually across the Strait by Babel-Mandch to Arabin, Ho asserts that most of the goods are obtained from the southern and south-western districts of Abyssinia, from the territories of Galin and of Schankaila, and that it is the especially gazelle-like, light-brown Calla girls who are most highly esteemed as wives in Arabia and beyond.

We Must Obtain Wives by Purchase,

Conventions which had been ratified Lady Simon stated that despite by nations which woro members of the League of Nations, the slaye trade was carried on extensively in Abyssinin and adjacent countries.

Pilgrims!

In Galla-land, Herr Gruch had a conversation with an intelligent slave dealer, who gave the following to say upon the question. Ono M. Kessel hind had a good deal apologin of the “necessity" for the method adopted by the traders was slave trade

"Arabia has a sparse population.they never returned to their native to bring alaves in se pilgrims; but We Arabians would soon become ex landa Sometimes families which tinct by inbreeding if we could not obtain fresh blood from abroad, mainly from Africa. No women come willingly to our country, as we must obtain our wives by purchase. Dut girls have a much better life among us than they would over have in their own homes.

Whole Villages Transported. These regions are far distant from the Central Government of Abyssinia, and as communications are so extremely difficult, the slave- dealers can hardly be cliecked... In the Province of Madschie, inhabited by Schankalla negroes, Herr Gruch declares, raids are made on the villages, and every living person is carried off in chains. These poor erca tures 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 17 slave-traders, tro collected in depots, and finally removed Arabia.

Kessel had the interesting experienco of being sitvited to sell his own two black servants, and when the trader found there was no business to be done in this direc- notion, he offered to sell him two

"Pilgrim SlavES."! Lady Simon informed a Sunday to Times representative that, in part, he revelations of Max Gruchl wers corroborated by M. Kissel and the members of the mission which, was sent out by Le Mair early this year to tour Abyssini with the ob those parts of the world. The in jeot of investigating - slavery in

Terrible Scenes. Herr Gruehl reports that during along 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 morass of the forest, where hardly a path could be discovered, when we met what we thought was a drove of animals. But, incredible as it sounds, it was a drove of men and women, chained together,

Lady Simon added that during her anti-slavery campaign she had frequently been asked: Why sit Abyssinia countenances alavery, did the King permit has son (the Duke, of Gloucester) to be present at the Coronation, celebrations of the Em- peror Tafari of Ethiopia?"
