Hindu Ascetics Revived After
Three Month* Under Ground.
HfKrnwl Missionary Tsils of fUmarfc
able Performance of fUltgtou*
Fanatlos In India.
Rev. Dr. J. O. R. Kwlug, in ImhI unary
to India, who recently returned to the
United Btatee after 88 years in the
Country of the rajahs and mahatmas,
Was discussing the miraculous things
repotted of the Hindu ascetics and
admitted that he has been obliged to
tell of some things whloh he has seen,
but does not understand. Doctor
Ifiwing said :
?It is certainly true that the Hindu
magicians perform some tricks which
our best sleight-of-hand performers
are unable to approach. I have seen
some things without being able to ac
count for them, but 1 am, neverthe
leas, certain that they are all tricks.
One of the best of these was so exhibit
tion with cards. The performer
placed u deck of cards upright In a
glass. Then, tftklng another deck, he
exposed a card and calling "come,
come" several times In his native lan
guage, the Identical card which he was
exhibiting rose out of the deck In the
glass and stood where it could be seen
by a large abdience right on top of the
deck, the performer at the same time
exhibiting the card which he had se
lected. 1 believe that this was due to
clever manipulation, though I suppose
some persons would ascribe It to tel
epathy.
"I have seen the trick of making a
plant grow from a seed before the
eyes, and this, too. I believe, is the rf
sult of manipulation. A curtain' la
placed around the vessel and then' re
moved, and the plant shown expanding
and growing.
^"Somewhat more difficult to be skep
tical about, however, are the perform
ances of the Hindu ascetics, and some
of these are possibly the results of
religious fanaticism. I know of the
case of a man who lay 14 years on a
bed of spikes. That Is, he was said
to have lain there 14 years. Eventual- '
ly, of course, he Idled of his sufferings.
I saw the man myself, and there waa
no reason to doubt the tales of the
leiltfttt of time of his torture.
"I know also that the stories of men
going into & cataleptic state and being
b titled are true. The tongue is pulled
on^* as far as 'it can be pulled and
then turned back into the victim*#
threat and he become* unconscious, #11
animation being apparently suspended,
lie "Is burled, and after remaining In
t$g ground for a period as long as
three months In some cases, he is dug
upland resuscitated.
"The theory upon which these tor
tures are endured Is that on Jr separate
existence is a mistaken notion and
that only by asceticism is it possible
to overcome the mistake and realize
; unity with all things. The teaching
which has been evolved by the Hindu
ascetics Is very beautiful and very at
tractive for a certain type of mind,
but? It is after all nothing but a form
of atheism. The Christian religion is
spreading rapidly in India, especially
among the lower classes and we have
great difficulty In taking care of the
converts. Among the higher.' classes it
is spreading, too, although formal as
sent to it Is slow on account of the
severity of the caste ostracism which
follows conversion. The Bngllah gov
ernment has the country well In hand
and It would seem that the country Is
destined for a very rapid development
both In Christianity and democracy.
Old Emperor Saw Clearly.
Id 1875, when France was recover
ing from the war of 1870-7I,the Geivj
man government, or at least the mili
tary party, it was said, was proposing'
to crush her once more. When Delane
became satisfied as to the a<^urac? of
tf& report, he published, qj| May 6,
the. story. ."The effect pi^duced by
the revelation of the German plot was
instantaneous, universal and pro
found. Both tho Russian emperor
and Queen Victoria appealed to tho
German emperor to stay his 'hand.
The German emperor denied the truth
of the queen's allegations, and a sen
tence In his letter is worth recalling
today In the reign of his grandson:
'*6 one* ts moro thoroughly convinced
than the writer that he who provokes
a war in Enropewill have the whole
of public opinion against him, and will
"a jgrdlrigly have no 'ally, no tuntlrale
Menvoiiiant, but, ratheiv adversaries.' "

\ , London, Nov. W.-r-l* render Lloyd
(?sorgo (old the Anglo-American war
council In session for the flrat time,
that the collapse of HuHMla and the re
serve# of Italy, "made It even more
, imperative than 1st fore that the United
Static send as many troops as possible
across the Atlantic an 'early as ih?s
aible"
"I aui anxious to know how wkmi
the first million men can lx? expecUxl
In France."
The premier explained that British
whipping now wan wholly employed In
war work, ixartlV for, the allies, partly
on the Britain account, adding: "As
suming that the submarine hit nation
fcotH no worse, the easing of the ik>s1
thms <o the allies depend* entirely
Upon the dates on which the Ameri
can program for the launching of the
six million tons of shipping promised
for 1D1H1 comes into practical effect.
I have no doubt that with the largest
industrial resources of the world a
most highly 'trained and adaptable iti-j
dustrlal population and an exceptional
national gift of arganlKatlon the ac
complishment of America in the mat
ter of shipbuilding will astonish every
body."
Dealing wHh the airplftne situation,
tJxs premier said :
? "Command of the air in the battle
line 1* almost essential as command;
o| H>e sea. The people of the United
Htates jxKssess to an unusual degree
qualities of enterprise and daring
necessary to the creation of success
ful' airmen. The American cliaiate
also lends Itself to tjic development of
the air service, because It is clearer
and more equable than the climate of
tbo British Isles. This Is of special
value because the training of pilots,
the creation of flying unit* and the
bnildlh-g of air-domes are as ^sscntial
to the creation of an al* service as the
building of airplane* themselves.'
Referring to food the premier said'
that the allies were becoming increas
ing dependent upon what the North
American continent could produce and
assured the mission that llie mosf dras
tic restrictions were nbout to 1 h> im
posed upou the i>eople of the British
Isles, partly in order to assist the *?1-|
lies, partly In order to leave more
roonKfor the carriage of men and mu
nitions to the bnt>tle fronts. ?? The pre
mier said he regarded the tightening
tif the blockade as of next, importance.
"Close co-partners between the
l i.ited States and the i lowers of west
ern Europe can bring still greater
economic pressure to bear on the cen
tral powers during, tfie WM*" he said.
The premier then thanked! -t^e mis
sion for the great services rendered
by the United States navy* .
In reply. Admiral Benson, on be
half of the mission, said that the mis

the allies and expressed the gratitude
of Its members for the manner with
