A New Tolstoi Conies to Light Mohandas K. Gandhi, leader of the nationalist movement in India is the central figure of the remarkable pacifist revolution" which has stirred the 813,000,000 people of the Indian Empire as, perhaps, never before since 1 the days of the Sepoy mutiny. He has been called a philosophic anarchist, a new Tolstoi. He became ' more dominant than ever in the cam paign against British rule in India when, in December last, the Indian National Congress in its annual ses- ' sion at Ahmedabad invested him with sole executive powers of that congress with authority to appoint his succes- 1 sor "in any emergency." ; The congress voted to suspend all other activities in order to concentrate I upon civil disobedience, a feature of 1 which was to the enlistment in the < National Volunteer Corps but includ- 1 ed also refusal to pay taxes and an i attempt to boycott British goods. 1 Soon after the congress adjourned Gandhi sent a manifesto to Lord Reading, the viceroy, offering to abandon aggressive plans provided the government set free his followers, many hundreds of whom were in prison, and provided the press was released from , administrative control and fines the forfeitures were restored. The British India office promptly announced thnt it would not discuss such demands and that it inteded to adopt stern niensures to suppress the campaign of civil disobedience. Non-violence and non-coopei'ation with the Indian government have been the fundamental principles of Gandhi's campaign. His ideas have dominated the Indian Congress and his appointment as executive of that body virtually made him dictator of the revolutionary movement. He sought to attain swaraj, (self-determination or freedom for every one) by non-resistance, by conquering the enemy by love. Gandhi has been described as a dark, little wisp of a man, who has fasted so long and often that he is physically a. mere shadow of a man. He was born 52 years ago in the Bombay presidency, the son of a Hindu merchant. He studied law, and finished his legal training in London where he donned the European dress. He has said that he drew the inspiration for his movement from the New Tes- ? J tament, Christ';: Sermon on the Mount and from Tolstoi's "The Kingdom of God is Within You." As a lawyer he defended the Indians who had been arrested in South Africa and was himself imprisoned there, r During a long campaign in behalf of the Indians in South Africa, he was jailed three times and once ambushed and left for dead but eventually obtained legislation to protect the rights of the Indians. He organized an ambulance corps to serve in the Boer War and rendered similar service in' London during the world war. He went back to India in 1915. The idea of self-determination had taken deep root in that empire and it burst into flame when 500 Indians were killed and 2,000 wounded in the Amritsar uprising and Indians of the Punjab were made to crawl through certain streets in humiliating punishment for rioting. Gradually Gandhi assumed direction of the campaign of protest against what have ben called "The Punjab atrocities" ana his sway over the mil- ^ lions of Hinus has steadily gained j force until he is called an Indian "Mahatma," or the wonder worker. Japan's Martial Spirit Must be Developed Tokio, Feb. 15.?If the Japanese nation is to hold its own in industrial ^ competition which is sure to result from establishment of world peace, j Japan's martial spirit must be devd- ( cped 1 nproportion as armament is re- , duced, said Lieut. General Yamanashi, , minister of war in a statement to the ^ Japanese press. "A serious mistake is being made . by some of the political leaders of Ja- < pan," he said, "in their efforts to disregard the martial spirit of the nation which is as essential to the peaceful ' expansion of the people as it is in time of war. | "The Washington conference has ; met with the success that was expect- , ed of it. Opinion seems to be divided on the basis for the proposed naval limitations, which is the chief of the problems before the assembly of na- , tions; but all are of one accord in the spirit of world peace, which called them together to deliberate on those questions. "It is matter for regret that in their attempt to win appreciation for this spirit of world peace and in their anxiety to remove from Japan the charge of militarism, some of our political leaders have apparently lost sight of the martial spirit of the nation. "It is wrong to consider that a martial spirit is incompatible with the limitation of armaments. In a certain sense, armament is an expression of national power, which is the sum total of various kinds of individual energy. Modem warfare, for instance, demands national industry besides shells and bayonets. Therefore, if a nation is to advance and hold its own in the industrial competition that must necessarily follow on the establishment of world peace, its martial spirit must be expanded and developed to just a degree as the actual armament is reduced." v Merchant Ships Sold Iondon, Feb. 21.?All the merchant ships surrendered to Great Britain under the Versailles Treaty now have been sold. There were 405 of them, the last lot of 10 went to British buyers. Subscriptions to $5,000 Cannery Lewis M. Rica $ 60.00 C. K. Hughes 60.00 R. M. White 60.00 J. F. McLure 60.00 W.D.

RIALTO f% a FRIDAY 7/1 FEB.tT Dalai Lama is Wonderful Personality London, Feb. 18.?The Dalai Lama of Tibet, the religious and secular head of that secluded country has to work harder than the average British or American business man. He gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning and labors until midnight, notwithstanding the fact that he is unquestionably the "big boss." Sir Charles Bell, a British political pfficer in India, who has just returned after a year's residence in the romantic "forbidden city of Iliasa, the Tibetan capital, says the Dalai Lama is a "wonderful personality." Sir Charles is one of the few Europeans who have mastered the Tibetan language and this helped him to become friendly with the head of all Tibet. "He paid me the honor of inviting me into the forbidden enclosure of his country palace," said Sir Charles. "This was a little wonderland of flowers, birds and wild animals?a hidden retreat where he gives deep thought both to his religious and state affairs. Hundreds of canaries were singing here, and there were also af flora nV?oooonla nn.1 n ft'nof t U?u I* h4*"11 from Bengal." The climate was intensely cold when Sir Charles arrived, and for days the temperature indoors never rose above freezing point. In the place of window glass, Tibetans used a sort of wax cloth. It lets the wind in, but they are a hardy race and do not appear to feel the discomfort of the cold. "Mutton, yak beef and pork are the staple diet," Sir Charles went on. "Tibetans do not like either chickens or eggs. They do not sleep on beds but on the floor, on which are placed large downy cushions. You lie on top of these and fold them over you. They are very comfortable and warm, "There is an official date for winter to begin and end, and the fur hat and other warm garments ordained for officials are invariably worn without regard to weather conditions between those dates. However comfortable the official may be with the fur hat April 25 or without it after that date, he would never dream of departing from the sartorial convention in public for five minutes. The eiquette of the people is very elaborate and strict. "There are, practically speaking, no police, no fireman, and no wheeled traffic in Hhasa. If a man suffers from toothache, he goes with a few friends on to the flat roof of his house. His friends bring a big stone, round which they fasten n string:. The string: is then tied to the bad tooth, and the stone dropped over the roof top. Two or three friends hold on to the patient to prevent him from going: over, too.

The title was won, after the championship of North i China had been clinched by a defeat, of the 15th infantry and by a game | wan me team irom tne American Club cf Shanghai which went to the credit of Peking by thft >core of 35 to 10. The final game #as played in Shanghai before a crowd of about 2,000 spectators on the 31st of December. The marine team had practiced for about two months under the coaching of Captain Tenney, a former halfback! at Brown University, and two former! Princeton players. The brand of football which they put up would have compared favorably with that of many college teams in America and throughout the short season of three games the marine squad was relieved of all other duties. The trip to Shanghai was taken by 17 men and the squad was accompanied by Colonel Karninuy. commander of the legation guard in Peking as well as by Coach Tenney and the marine athletic ofliccr. Small Animals Given "Once Over" New Haven, Conn., Feb. 19.?Some very little animals which play a very big part in human existence are to be given the "once-over" scientifically ini Yitle University laboratories during the next few months, in order to add information about them to the sum of human knowledge. Miss Helen Ileinly of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., has been detailed to assist Dr. Goothold Steiner of Berne University, Research Fellow at Yale, in microscopic study of the Nemotode, described,hs an animal that annually does millions of dollars worth of damage to plants and vegetables. These tiny worm-like animals are to be found in human beings as well as in the earth. There are 40 or 50 varieties in humans. Ten per cent are classed as predatory, that is they eat animals while the remaining ninety per cent eat vegetation. Dr. Steiner and Miss Ileinly are to study means of reproduction of the predatory type so they will eat the plant eaters and eradicate them. One predatory type will eat 30 types of the vegetable eaters. The plant namatodes anchor to a root of a vegetable and eat the substance there causing it to wither. A great colony makes a "root knot." The laboratory work will be to find the best conditions suited to the growth of the predatory nematode. Dr. Steiner cafrra 11 to Yale from Switerland to study this nematode. He has raised male and female, or brought about what scientists call a mutation. The progeny of the new female type retain the characteristics of the parent.
