my appearance, as well he might be.
I wore a workman’s blouse that had
gradually taken its color from its sur-
roundings. To protect myself from the
indiscretions of my comrades I had
painted various warnings on my back,
as, for instance, “Bill stickers, be-

Colonial Scandal
Berlin, July 20.— Another colonial
scandal is on the point of exploding.
Herr von Puttkamer, governor of the
German Cameroons, is accused of hav-
ing committed many acts of inhumanity
and cruelty similar to those alleged
against Whelan and Leist. and for which
these officials were ordered to be dis-
missed from the colonial service. Von
Puttkamer’s accusers are Von Stettin
ate vice go verner. and Goezbrecht, the
same British journalist who exposed
the abuses in the Cameroons under
Whelan and Leist. A large number of
affidavits of eye-witnesses and victims
of Von Puttkamer’s brutality, with the
stronger of corroborative evidence, are
now in possession of a German paper,
and will soon be published. The evi-
dence is so strong that it will be imposs-
ible to evade an official investigation
yon Puttkamer, wfho was appointed to
his office only eleven months ago, is ac-
cused of having committed the most
horrible atrocities upon both male and
female natives of the Cameroons of vile
excesses and of financial speculation of
a shady character. Rumors of this have
been current in colonial circles for some
time. Additional evidence is in the

it will be laid before the reichstag when
