INDIAN ATTENDANTS OF
KING GEORGE.


The fact that King George received
at Buckingham palace recently four
Indian orderlies who will be in attend
ance on his majesty at state cere-
monies during the season, Is a remind
er that it has been the custom for
many years, particularly since the
late Queen Victoria was made empress
Of India in the seventies, to have at
the English court Indians OF high
caste, usually relatives of powerful
potentates, to act as orderles and at
tendants to their maJesties.
The custom really arose from the
desire of Indian princes To learn some
thing Of English life, although it has
been suggested that the wish on the
part OF the>authorities To impress In
dian royalty with our power and re-
sources has had not little to do
with the continuance OF these periodi
cal visits to the court of high caste
Indians. And there can be no doubt
that the close personal relationship
between the Indian princes and our
royal family which has resulted from
such visits has done much To improve
the relations between this country and
India.
Queen Victoria always liked to have
her Indian attendants about her. and
glance at pictures dealing with the
events OF her reign will show that she
was invariably accompanied by her
orderlies from the east.
The late King Edward. too, whose
voyage to India to the winter Of 1875
'76 brought him into close contact with
the chief Indian vassals of the British
crown, had a great partiality for In
dian attendants and orderlies, and it Is
an open secret that the honor of at
tending his late majesty for season
was much coveted by the sons OF In
dian rulers.
In certain sense these visits form
the completion of their English educa-
tion, for the majority OF the Indians
leges and varsities for their early
training.
The custom, which really has for its
object the cementing Of the bond OF
friendship between Britain and India,
is carefully observed by King George
and Queen Mary, whose visit in 1911
| when they attended the durbar, and
| Delhi was proclaimed the capital OF
India, aroused much enthusiasm. AS
a matter OF fact, his majesty mad,
himself so popular during the visit tC
India that II was with the greates
difficulty that the orderlies at present
in attendance upon him were selected
from the number who wished to spent
a season at the English court.-LondoI

BIG REPUBLICAN GAIN IN
MAIN ELECTION,

Returns from the Maine guberna-
torial election indicate the success by
a small margin of the Democrats, but
Republicans generally will get much
satisfaction out Of the splendid run of
the Republican candidate. The returns
show a Republican gain of 125 per cent
over 1912 while the Democrats gained
but eighteen per cent.
The third party's strength was de-
cidedly weak, despite the fact that the
Progressives made strenuous efforts to
hold their vote OF 1912 in line, hoping
thereby to gain prestige for the 1916
campaign.
The campaign Of the Republicans
was clean out-and-out fight along
the time e-honored lines Of protection,
safe and sane finance and business
prosperity But they faced great odds.
The Democrats involved the situation
in the wet and dry issues, their candi-
date for governor being the Demo-
cratic mayor of Portland, who vi
gorously opposed the endeavors Of the
Republican governor 20 enforce the
prohibition laws Of the state, because
as governor he believes them To be the

enforced or wiped from the statute

with him in the recent primary for

favoring a change in the office of

"Republicanism has suffered from

foothold in Michigan. With this crowd

niving to bring about the overthrow of

ing election" he declared.
The bitterness of the feud between
FGroesbeck and Martindale was again
shown when the Groesbeck men in the
Wayne county convention insisted that
Martindale should be left off the slate
for the state Republican convention,
although he has served az secretary of
state for three terms and ran even
with Groesbeck in the recent Repub-

BOOSTING MIcHlGAN-A CREDIT,
ABLE BOOK AND MAPS.

The News acknowledges the receipt
of the publication, Michigan issued
by the public domain and immigra-
ton commissions, the first book Of its
kind TO be compiled by the state. Ii is
attractively printed and illustrated,
and is decidedly to the credit of Aug
ustus c. Carton, commissioner of inn
migration and Glen r. Munshaw, dep
uty commissioner. who were respon-
sible for it. Accompanying the work
are a railroad map of Michigan and
soil maps of both peninsulas, giving
much information of value.
The book contains the history of
Michigan facts of Importance of each
county and devotes much space to
agricultural horticultural and indus
trial advantages. It's aim and purpose
is to give a general idea of the re-
sources OF the state and TO suggest the
opportunities which it offers the home
seeker. Its authors have this 10 say
in their conclusion:
while il is hoped that this publiCa-
ton will be the cause Of inducing many
anime for themselves the advantages
il offers, it is also hoped that it will
perform even a greater mission, name
ly the stimulating of Michigan's own
people TO a deeper sense OF apprecia-
tion Of their home state. 1t would
seem then, that the first result TO be
hoped for is the establishment of faith
among Michigan's own people, caus-
ing them to look over Michigan and
Michigans opportunities before seek
ing other cllmes ror investments
The book provides a great deal OF in
formation about Michigan not hereto
fore readily obtainable. II presents
a mass OF facts Of interest TO both
residents and non-residents, and in
dicates the greatness Of the state in
area, in achievement and in the splen-
did opportunities and future POSSIBLE
tiles.

Shot Before Parents Eyes.

London-One OF the most vivid ac-
counts OF an episode of war comes
from the Lokal Anzeiger OF Aug. "a.
Ii is a letter from Paul Oskar Hoeck-
er, Berlin playwright, now serving
as captain of the reserve. HIS play
"A Nation in Arms" is being given
at the Berlin opera house.
He describes mission on which he
was dispatched to search for arms
in Belgian villages in which shots had
been fired by civilians on the Germans.
His instructions were to summon the
villagers to deliver up their arms ana
those in whose possession arms were
found, after they declared that they
had hone, were to be instantly shot.
Describing visit to Jungbusch. he
says that at one house he found an old
man, a woman and girl OF thirteen
Then a terrible thing happened. A
sergeant and n private dragged
young fellow out of the house. They
had found him hiding among the straw
i'm the loft. He had in his hands n
Belgian rifle loaded with five cart
ridges. From the opening of the roof
he may have aimed at many an honest
German. The youth had to put up
his hands. Stammering and deadly
pale, he stands there.
"'who is this YOUTH I ask the old
man. AS II struck by lightning they
all three fell on their knees wailing.
| The woman groaned: "He is my SON.
The prisoner tried to escape, but was
put up against the wall by the men.
