Learning in U. S. How to Fight
British With a Hindu Newspaper

MADISON, wis. Aug. o.
newspapers are too. dull. They
need new life-something of
your American push and snap. So
| have come to your country to
learn about American Journalism.
Thus does Basanta Koomar
Roy explain his presence at the
University of Wisconsin as a
student in the course of Journal
ism. Roy is a high caste, young
Hindu, splendidly educated In
English as we'll as in his native
tongue, and with experience as a
teacher in the Anglo-Bengali high
school of Allahabad. Patriot as
we'll as scholar, and believing
that the pen is mightier than the
Maxim or the Lee-Enfield. he has
elected to fight the battles of
India in the Fourth Estate.
There are many who believe
that an appeal to arms is our
only hope for salvation from
British mis-rule, but some of us
think that We can do more for
our country through education,
he says.
Not that the chance for popu-
lar education along other lines Is
much better. India Is not Russia,
but IL you were a native Journal
list there you wouldn't know the
difference by the way the govern
ment treated you. All the native
papers of liberal tendencies have
been ruthlessly suppressed. They
have ceased putting the editors in
Jail now. for they have found a
more effective way to muzzle the
native press. They simply confis-
cate the printing presses.
There may be a time when
we shall be able to print the
truth in India. Meanwhile we
shall do what we can to secure
public schools in spite of British
opposites. The British natur-

SCARCITY OF MEAT IN FRANCE

Reasons for Increase.

Paris June 22.-Some curious and I'M
comfortable facts are shown by statistics
now published concerning the Use in the
price of meat Of late years in Paris Gen
orally speaking, all meat costs now as much
alive a. it did not long ago on the butch
er's counter Beef is quoted at about 80
cents the kilogram, or two and one-eighth
pounds: veal. at ~ cents; mutton, at "a
cents and pork al 20 cents, which are abou,
double the prices of ten years back. The
lar 10 stock breeders and large dealers
and the answers TO the questions contained
are instructive.
The reason OF the increase appears TO be
the large and regular purchases of stock
by German. Italian and Spanish agents in
the provinces The brokers representing
foreign houses buy UP cattle and sheep at
such high figures that the temptation is
too great for the farmers 10 withstand, and
the Germans also buy large quantities OF
dead pork directly from the breeders with
out it ever coming on to the market.
one correspondent writes Cattle will
be scarce this year. and more next. for
the breeders have sold almost all they
could" and another breeder lays: AT

RAT PLAGUE IN LONDON
Gases of Infection Discovered at Wap-
ping. Showing Need fer Caution.

London. June 23.-After d prolonged pc
Rod of quiscence the plague has again APP
peared among the rats of the port of Lon
don. This time the infection mas been dis
covered at a wharf on the banks OF the
Thames at Mapping, at a distance OF con-
siderably less than a mile from the Tower
Bridge.
There can be no indiscretion In making
the discovery public, for the recurring
presence OF the plague among the rats In
the lower reaches Of the Thames is already
common knowledge. 1t is scarcely. neces-
sary to say that the present existence OF
infection, which is believed to be extremely
limited. presents no cause ior public alarm.
though 1t indicates the necessity for eau
ton.
The new and possibly somewhat ominous
fact is that. so far as can be aScertalned.
the infection has been found nearly two
miles further up the river than ii has ever
reached before II previous experience Is
repeated and the outbreak is successfully
isolated there need be no apprehension. Or
the other hand. the discovery may indicate
a steadily increasing radius of infection.

RUSSIA WANTS MORE SEALS
Canada's Locus Standi in Washington
Conference Questioned.

81 Petersburg. July /. - The Novoe

questions the right of Canada To partici-

sessing seal breeding grounds, could be
regarded as a joint possessor with the
United States only owing TO the latter on
the eve Of the conference having conceded
TO the Dominion one-ifth Of the American
yearly catch.
The paper asserts that the compromise
with the Canadian and japanese poachers
giving them 20 per cent of the Russian and
American catch is useless because there is
nothing to prohibit the poachers of other
nations from taking their places Ii adds
that the conference should have established
the principle that Russia. the United states
and Japan were the owners OF the seal
herds. which virtually are demonstrated
