ALL EYES LEVELED
At BOY SOVEREIGN
Shah Of Persia Is Cool and Delhi
crate Amid Glitter and Pomp
of Parliament.

LONDON. Jan. 25.-This Is how
they opened the Persian Parliament
am not going TO describe the gilt

you behind the scenes and show you
the stage carpenter.
In Parliament Square forty thou
sand people are assembled. To see
WHAT To see majesty come and &c
in a whirlwind OF magnifcence? To
see princes and mobiles sweep with
quieter splendor in and out OF the
emblazoned gates? No: not To see az
all. To feel. This crowd has looked
on the pomp OF monarchs and minis
ters often enough and cursed IT, To
day ali thoughts are for the hundred
plainly dressed. quiet hammered depu
ties who by their wisdom or their
folly shall lead the nation 10 great
ness or bring it 10 ruin Today Is a
day OF destiny. This is why men
speak together In small groups, arg
ing their hopes and whispering their
fears. never wasting glance on the
far flung bunting which haunts rain
bow COlors in The sunlight This. too.
Is why the scratch force OF ungainly
policemen. shufling about in half a
dozen different sorts OF ill-cut uni
forms or in no uniform at all, can by
gentle adiuration control a throng
which outnumbers the constabulary a
thousand TO one.
The Persian Army.
Here come the brass bands banging
4 ~ N
music. They Will learn IN time TO
balance their energies Behind them
march the guards of honOr-regimen-
tai types of Persia's rabble soldiery,
slouching like sandwich men. Oh.
do not mock, To me this martial
mimicry is not pitiful; It is inspiring.
Had you stood. as have. day by day
for hours on end in the Square OF
Exercise. Teherans great parade
ground. and watched European OH
GERS. fierce ana stentorian. drilling
squads OF shambling recruits, your
eyes would perhaps water as have
mine. For you would understand then
why those hawk-eyed straight-backed
warriors from the west are believing
discipline into a stupid mob. and why
! the loose jointed loafers OF the bazaar
are taking an infnitude OF pains to
I learn 10 form fouTs. You would
/ realize that Persia yearns for an
army Also you would perceive. per
I haps fearfully. what that yearning por-

become the military Colossus Of Asia.
The Persian army, like the Persian
parliament i,1S a lone way 70 en-
only say that the soul of q suffering
nation Is in the effort
Here come the deputies Mild in
manner and serious in department,
these gentlemen enter as uhostenta-
tiously rs If they had no part in a
