Upon arrival at Mlombassa, I find the English much disturbed over the nossibility that Hitler will now demand the return of lost colonies. “East Africa must remain English”, is seen on pla cards displayed in shops at Mom bassa and a Tanganyika League has been established to protest against any disposition on the part of the English government to re turn Tanganyika to Germany.

Kiwanis Tuesday Tryon Kiwanis club will meet on Tuesday at 1 p. m., at Hotel Tryon.
