AFRICAN NATIVES
A NOTABLE EXPERIMENT. TRIBES BROUGHT TOGETHER. (British Official Wireless.) (United Press Assoc atlon.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, October 9. The African chiefs and headmen and their retainers are making 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 saw motor cars, aeroplanes, and kinemas for the first time. At the kinema 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 African tribes brought together two tribes which for generations have been enemies, constantly raiding and counterraiding. ' 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.
