Celebration Marks Event.

! New York, June 1S.-Former Presl-
dent Theodore Roosevelt returned to-
day to New York from a trip through
Africa and Europe, which began i'm
mediately upon his leaving the White
House, and which has lasted for if
teen months.
The Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, on
which he sailed from England on the
10th of June, entered New York har
Dor at Z o'clock this morning and was
greeted ty the battleship South Caro-
dina and a national salute Of twenty
one guns.
At $3.50 o'clock Mr. Roosevelt was
transferred from the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria to the revenue tug
Manhattan, where he was welcomed
by number of personal friends and
relatives and Captain Archibald w.
Butt, representing President Taft.
Shortly afterwards the ex-President
was transferred to the revenue cutter
Androscoggin, which led the water pa
rade that took him up as far at Fifty
ninth street, North river and down to
the Battery where he was officially
welcomed by Mayor Gaynor, Of New
York at II o'clock.
An imposing Sight.
Bedecked with signal flags and
with guns from Fort Wadsworth and
Fort Hamilton booming out in well

glided into quarantine at 1888 O'Clock
this morning.
Immediately behind the tig liner
came the six ships of the navy, with
tie battleship South Carolina in the
van, while at anchor in roadsJead
awaiting her coming was the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin with the
Secretary of the Navy on board.

garrison at Adel Arabia.
The army. all told. would be small. even
If the country were homogeneous and
peaceful 1t is nothing in comparison
with the great forces which are forming
in Europe and in the far east. If India
had as many soldiers as Japan has on a
peace footing its army would number
three millions. and IL on a war footing
IL would be more than twelve millions.
The Germans have one per cent of their
whole population under arms. and in
times of war they could put per cent
of it into the field At the same ratio
India could have fifteen millions under
and the only power that might possibly
surpass her in numbers would be the
Chinese, who at the same rate could
muster. perhaps, five millions more.
The Indian army was made over by
Lord Kitchener I met him about year
ago here at Calcutta, when he was still
in charge OF the troops He speakr
highly of the soldiers as fighting force
and says they are loyal to the govern
ment. although attempts have been made
to corrupt them. Lord Kitchener when
he came to India about eight years ago
found three armies. each confined to one
part of the country. He consolidated
these and modified them. He made nine
divisions, each OF which had its own gen.
eral and staff. These were organized for
war and each could take the field intact,
leaving enough troops behind to maintain
order. Every division had its own trans
port and supply arrangements, and the
divisional generals had great authority.
AT the same time additional officers were
appointed and a military college insti-
tuted to supply others. Lord Kitchener

census taken not long ago II was shown
that of the girls under twelve years OF
age of certain castles. about forty In
every thousand We're missing. This would
mean the killing of four girls In hum
dred, large percentage, indeed.
among the RaJputs or northern India
the surplus female children were once
destroyed at birth. and l am told that
this still occurs now and then. In and
about Benares there is tradition that TX
"A girl baby be drowned I'm milk il may
come into the family next year as baby
boy. Such beliefs made ihfanticide COM
mon in many parts OF India until the
British administration took hold. One
authority relates that in some of the
tribes of Oudh not more than one In
twenty of the baby girls were allowed to
live, and many castles and tribes threw
their surplus of children into wells or
tied them to trees, where their eyes were
picked out by the crows. In the Upper
Gauges valley the British had to pass
special laws for the clans supposed to be
addicted to child murder. The police
were set on them and they were heavily
taxed until their proportion of girls cor
responded to that of the rest OF the coun-
try Even today everywhere throughout
India girls are less priced than boys, and
the girl baby is not as well cared for as
her baby brother. She is not so well
fed and not as well treated in sickness.
1t may be that this has caused in some
the infants of the two sexes.
All such capital crimes, however, are
decreasing. and in the British states have
almost disappeared The police have a

During my stay here i visited some
of the jails There are many Of them
scattered throughout British India, and
not a few contain several thousand pris-
oners. In neary all contract labor Is
done. The prisoners work about nine
hours a day. There are three classes OF
labor, hard medium and light: they are
allotted according to the physical capac-
ity of the men. Much Of the work Is IN
manufactures of various kinds. and as
far as possible in the making of things
for the government. A great deal or

san luxuriate for the rest of their lives.
In addition 10 the army, India has
large civil police. Every town has its
local watchmen and every city is patrol
led by police with clubs in their hands.
The local village police aggregate some
thing like 100000 men. and this would
be hardly enough 10 give one to each
village. In addition there are thousands
in the cities and on the whole order is
fairly well kept The thugs and other
castles. who. in times past made a busi-
ness and religion, of murder and steal
ing, have been wiped out: but there, are
still armed gangs who now and then
go about committing robbery and house
breaking.
The system OF police work is excellent
The watchmen are under the eyes of the
head men of their villages and important
crimes are reported to the districts. and
in many cases the watchmen are re-
spOnsible for losses or thefts
Every place has its own police station
and arrangements for patrol day and
night. In the larger towns there are
police commissioners and at the stations
lists are kept of released convicts, sus-
pected characters and habitual offenders.
Such parties are carefully watched and
when they move their regulations go with
them to form part of the black list of
their new residence.
Upon such lists are the descendants of
the thugs and members of the other
castles. who formerly made crime a
business. There are many of these. The
kuru marus are professional thieves and
pickpockets. They teach their children
to steal and lie out of IL. They bur-
glarize houses not through the doors or
windows but by digging through the
mud walls with instruments made for
the purpose.
The thugs have about disappeared. hav-

The collection and transportation of the
dogs. moreover. is done in a brutal way.
They are collected at night by men armed
with long iron tongs curved at the end.

Constantinopie may still be seen by the

THIS is not the first attempt that has
been made to rid the city of the dogs.
Mahmoud III, the reformer, who in 1928
succeeded in killing off his 10000 Janis
saries, was unsuccessful in trying to dis
pose of the dogs. The matter was broacn-
ed several other times in the nineteenth
century, but no sultan or grand viz.er was
bold enough to undertake the task. These
animals are peculiarly sacred TO the Mos
lens of the old type. for they believe that
with the removal of the dogs some great
calamity will befail the city-even tnat
greatest calamity which can be conjured

The cleansing of the city has been going
on. and the unmerciful suffering of the
animals has been allowed TO continue in
spite OF violent protests. The inhabit-
ants Of the summer resort Princes Is

been wrought up over the danger of dis
