PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GIVES
BAND INSTRUMENTS TO ARM
OF LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT
Washington, Mar 10, (ANP)*
When President Roosevelt vis
ited Liberia as the guest of
Pre»ident Barclay, discussion
centered around the imp-roye*
ment of the Libel'ian trqops,
whose equipment compared
very badly with that of the
American soldiers who had
fceen landed in the Afi^'.can re
public. Some 800 or 900 men
were involved in the matter of
equipment, which Roosevelt is
«aid to have con.sidered. After
due consideration, it was dis
covered that there was not en-
ousrh equipment to furnish th>
800 Foldier.«», as Barclay had
reque.sted, so instead, the Uni
ted States agreed to j!;ve the
Liberian band new pieces or
instruments for that outfit.
Some 29 instruments were In
volved in tre‘ transaction.
