BRITISH EFFRONTERY.

The Anglo-American press agents
have given us from time to time a
horrifying account of the atrocities
committed on the Indians employed
In the rubber business in Peru; but
they have been careful to conceal the
of such revolving cruelties is English
and has its headquarters in London.
While the atrocities were going on
the British government shut it's eyes
and long time elapsed before the
world knew of it. BY that time the
men responsible for the barbarit:es
were out of the way. Now the Brit
ish government tries to place the
blame upon Peru and calls upon the
United States to interfere in the mat
ter.
What has the United States got to
do with it? According to statement
issued by Senior Peel, the Peruvian
ambassador to the United States, Sir
Roger Easement, the English investi-
gator of the crimes, permitted the
perpetrators to escape after they were
found guilty by the Peruvian COM
mission with Judge Paroles at it's
head. The Peruvian authorities had
done their duty and would have pun
ished the guilty brutes had not Sir
Roger kindly let the criminals escape
out of the country. The English gov
on the guilty parties and surrender
them to Peru. But Peru is small and
the British bully, though anxious TO
crush it, cannot well do so in face
of the Monroe Doctrine. 1t remem-
bers the Venezuelan affair during
Cleveland's administration and re-
sorts to diplomacy with Bill Taft and
his pro-British cabinet.
Cannot England attend to this mat
ter without dragging the United
States into the quarrel? No alliance
yet exists between the two nations as
far as the world knows, and yet Sir
Edward Grey declared in the British
parliament that his government was
keeping in the closest touch with the
authorities at Washington and that
the British and American consuls
would start together on Aug. for
Putumayo, the scene Of the atrocities
in Peru.
In a dispatch from Washington,
dated Aug. -, it is stated that Car
dinal Gibbons has been appealed to
by Alfred Mitchell Innes, charge d.
affaires of the British embassy, to
send Catholic missionaries into the
rubber district of Peru to prevent fur
ther mischief there. That kind Of
news is bosh of the worst description
and there is not a word of truth in
the whole fabrication. Cardinal Glib
bons is for the worlds peace, but he
will not act as an agent for the ras-
cally, hypocritical British govern
ment.
The British officials who shed croco-
ollie tears over the so-called Belgian
atrocities" in the Congo few years
ago have winked at similar atrocities
committed by an English corporation
in Peru. The English perpetrators
and their native tools go scot free
and now the United States is asked
to reprimand friendly republic with
which it has no quarrel whatever.
For cool effrontery, John Bull takes
the cake.

"Only IL per cent Of the male immi-

The greater prevalence of the disease
among the Japanese women than the
men is because the women go bare

is contracted by the larvae of the
