ROYAL BROTHERS' TOUR
TBIBBS(ME.N IMPRESSED. MODERN MARVELS VIEWED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received noon.) RUGBY, October 9. African chiefs and headmen and their retainers are leaking their way homeward after the historic gathering at Nairobi, where 1500 leading Africans were the guests of the Government during the visit of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Gloucester. Most,of the painted and befeathered tribesmen had seen motor-cars, airplanes and cinemas for the first time. At the cinema they saw a film depicting the King reviewing the Guards in full dress. They expressed astonishment at the number and height of the soldiers. « This notable experiment in the history of the African tribes had brought together two tribes which for generations have been enemies, constantly raiding and counter-raiding. Their mutual understanding and enjoyment of peaceful relations in the Nairobi camp was a tribute to the success of the British administration in their area.
