Fae east is east and west is west,

Fae east is east and west is west,
And never the twain shall meet.
1t is aot improbable that Rudyard
Kipling saw the gulf dividing the two
civilizations in his early acquaintance
ship with Bahia Bharati when both
were journalists in India. 1t is ser
tain that Bharati saw it, for he came
to the Occident avowedly to study the
possibilities of bridging it. Now, after
five years among us he has gone back
to his own people, never, he says, to
return. And with his perspective OF
time, old ideals of civilization and dis
interestedness Bahia Bharati, citizen
of the universe" a~scetic, philosopher
and apostle of the purely spiritual
life, sees wal impending between east
and west; a war, net of the west
against the yellow peril" but of the
east against what he calls the white
peril Of aggressiveness and material
ism.
"The Orient will rise and drive the
white man forth. This will happen in
a very few years. By 1915, / believe,
this conflict will be we'll under way.
This is my own prophecy, but l find
that Lafcadio Hearn made virtually
the same forecast some years ago. 1t
is the White Peril from which We suf-
fer in the Orient-Caucasian aggres,
~siveness and soul-killing civilization"
Such was Bharati's parting message
to the western world.
Bahia (Father) Bharati is not to be

appropriate scenery and costumes, have
come to America from time to time
to wheedle dollars from silly womeT

society. He is a Brahmin of the frs
order. His father vas a magistrate
and his uncle a Judge of the higl
court of Calcutta. Twenty years agt
he was editor of the Lahore Tribune
when Kipling was a newspaper write
there. Later he became the edito
and proprietor of a society paper il
Calcutta. Then his religious instinct
asserted themselves, and for IL year
he became an a~scetic, a hermit, Twin

While here he met the great joyce c

Bharati came to believe that he ha

Most of the states of the union felt
the unusually severe winter Of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was a nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertainedStha the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be a distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur-

delayed seeding from the usual early

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WORCESTER, Mass. August 14.-Sec-
rotary of War William H. Taft Is on the
point of making an example of somebody
In the employ of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company for making public a tele-
gram sent by him to his brother, Horace
d. Taft, on Sunday. such an act consti-
tuting a crime. The message sent by the
Secretary from Pointe Au Pic to his
brother at Milbury was relayel from
Worcester to Milbury and was published
in Boston newspaper almost as soon as
Mr.. Taft received it.
The Secretary took pains that his visit
to Milbury should be d secret, and did not
even tell newspaper men at Murray Bay
that he was coming home to visit his
mother, who is i'll. He sent the dispatch
in secret from Pointe Au Pic, and was
surprised that it should be made public
without authority. 1t is the opinion of
the Secretarys brother that the message
leaked out or was stolen from the tele-
graph office in Worcester. 1t was stolen
whole and published as the secretary
sent 1t.

Strikers Number Nearly 400.

Inc NUMBER OF union building trade me-
chanics on strike in the District was in
creased yesterday afternoon to nearly 400
men. according to the estimates of labor
leaders. This increase on the strike roll
was brought about by the pulling" of
four additional buildings that are being
constructed by members of the Employers
Association. Employed on the pulled
buildings We're seventy-eght union me-
chanics, who have joined the ranks of
the strikers
The structures affected were the Adath
Israel Synagogue, which is being erected
by Contractor COwsill; the buildings being
erected by Kennedy & Davis, the location
of which is not given; the combination
store and residence of A. E. and Mrs. J. M.
Harr, being erected by G. W Barkman at
9th and II streets northeast and the $4,000
row of houses being erected by Thomas
II. Melton at Brigbtwood avenue and
Webster street. Most of the men employed
on these four buildings were brcklayers
and carpenters.
The Build ( Trades Mechinics' Council
held its regular weekly meeting last night
and the strike situation was reviewed
Secure Employment.
The statement was made that nearly all
of the striking mechanics. had obtained
new positions. and that what few men are
still out of work are being protected by
their organizations. Reports were received
from the treasurers of each of the building
trades. which showed, it was stated, that
every affiliated organization is financially
able to carry on the strike indefinitely.
The report that the employers had i'm
ported several non-union strikebreakers
into the District within the last few days
was discussed, and the business agents
who have visited each of the buildings on
which union labor is employed said
the attention of the District inspector of
buildings would be called to the class OF
work being turned out by the non-union
workmen.
Members of the executive strike commit
mittee denied the correctness of the pub
lished statement that number of non
union brick.ayers have been brought into
the city since Monday to supplant the union
men 1t was said that the employers had
found 1t an impossibility to secure nom
union bricklayers at any price, and that the
union pickets who meet each incoming
steamer and traIn have not yet met a
member of this craft.
1t was reported that general Strike order
will be published within a few days and dis
trfbuted at the next meeting of the locals
of the various building trades. In this way,
it is said. every union mechanic can be
reached which will not necessitate visit
from the committee of sixteen delegated to
order the strikes.
