HINDUS BEAT

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
VAN. COUVER, B. c.. July 1s.-
With 352 Hindus, refused admission
to British Columbia, through the in
voking of the provisional law against
alien labor declaring they will not
go back to the orient without strong
resistance and the authorities de-
termined that they shall depart at
once, fears were felt tonight that vio-
lence would come before the Japanese
steamer Komagata Maru, on which
the turbaned horde has been held
prisoners for weeks, put to sea.
Attempts by Captain Yamamoto to
prepare the vessel for the return voy-
age are being thwarted by the East
Indians and the Japanese crew fears
to interfere because of numerical
weakness.
For hours the captain was virtual
ly prisoner and the police and port
authorities hesitated to board the ves-
sci to restore him to command, fear
ing conflict with the possible loss, of
life. The fact that Hindus are daily
holding oriental ceremonies on board
the Komogata Maru during which
barefooted they dance frenziedly to
the beat of tom-toms, is looked upon
as significant by the authorities. They
believe the Hindus are steeling them
selves for any emergency.
The Canadian cruiser Rainbow, af-
ter being out of commission for some
time is being refltted at the Esq,,i-
mault naval station. Whether it will
be called upon to escort the Komogato
Maru beyond the 800 mile limit. or
merely held in readiness for event
ualities, is unknown.

A MODERN MEDICAL MIRACLE.

In the magazines and in periodicals
devoted to women and women's inter
ests the new method Of painless birth
is receiving a great deal Of attention
and to all appearances deservedly. Ger
man medical men have so mastered a
dangerous drug, scopolomin. that under
its scientifically controlled action the
childbearing woman drops into coma
tose condition which has been given the
poetical term twilight sleep" by the
Germans and the process of birth pro-
ceeds naturally, painlessly and without
the knowledge Of the mother. 1t is
stated that recovery is much more rapid
following ACCOMPLISHMENT under the
twilight sleep" treatment.
But the no prospective mother jump
to the conclusion that this treatment is
one to he undertaken by the family
physician. 1t requires special training
on the part OF the physician. If it is a
miracle it needs the miracle worker to
make 1T SUCCESSFUL ana Sa1e. some Day
and probably soon the twilight sleep
shall be within reach of the wealthy of
this country. Later no doubt, it shall
be brought to all bearing women. But
at present the benefcence of bringing
children into the world without agony
lies beyond the ocean and is granted
only to the few.
AS it is the treatmen. seems to be
entirely safe and successful in proper
and scientific hands. If so it should
spread over this country very quickly
and special lying in hospitals where it
is in operation multiply like magic
Such refugees would increase the popu-
lation rate OF this country 90 per cent
within ten years. If it is what those
who have taken advantage Of it claim
for it the twilight sleep is of all modern
medical achievements the one which
shall receive and deserve the widest
and most heartfelt gratitude.
