BRITISH EMPIRE IN

(Continued From First Page.)

contributed $2,OOO,OO0 to defray the l expenses of the First Hyderabad Im- perial Lancers and the Twentieth Dec can Horse, who were transported to service in Europe.
 Information Given Evidence
 Such information as has come to Washington on these developments is of an unofficial character, and inas- much as it does not emanate from sources which would be interested in spreading reports of disaffection in British territory, it has been given credence.
 Earl Kitchener's selection for the task of holding Britain's Oriental Empire intact is viewed generally as having been caused by his long ser vice in India and Egypt, his intimate knowledge of the native temperament and his large personal following among the leaders of the natives. Earlier in the war the disaffectjon in India and Egypt was evidently of such threatening proportions that the use of Japanese troops was being sug- gested to take the place of native for ces which had been withdrawn for the European battlefelds. It was announced at that time that no japanese troops would De used out side the theater of Japanese German hostilities at Kiao Chow, but since then a new situation has arisen in the Balkans and Japan has an- nounced her entry to the agreeme of all the entente allies not to con- clude a separate peace. Competent observers point out that Japan is strategically in much better position than England to land troops in In- dia or Egypt. If the reports of a serious situation in India are con- firmed it would not cause surprise here if the proposal to use Japanese troops were revived.
 Executed Native Leaders.
 The last report to the state depart ment on political conditions in Brit ish possessions in Asia were received more than two months ago when de- tails came of the mutiny of natives at Singapore in which practically all officers and most of the troops of a British regiment were killed. An ex- peditionary force of British blue jackets secured the interior for the native leaders, captured many of them, and after a brief trial theNwere executed.

that the farmers are lot of easily duped

Let them dictate to State Legislatures, and

Give one of these bankers a salary of
$4,000 out of the State treasury:
Create new battalion of appointive off
Gals, like our Tax-assessment machine of
600 men:
Ally the Bank-warehouse and money loan
system, with our Tax-assessment system:
Exempt from the law all the Northern
corporations that are bleeding the State to
death:
Exempt all the Church-school endow-

Central Railroad:
Increase the taxes of the men who are
least able to pay;
Rivet the letters of the Catholic School
book Trust, so that white Protestant, with
four or five children, will find himself ut
terly unable to keep his boys and girls at
school,:
Keep on infringing upon personal liberty
and equal rights: Keep on debating legis-
lation to us from behind the closed doors of
banks, railroad Offices, and Chambers of
Commerce:
Keep it up. and, the first thing you know,
the Democratic leaders will discover that
their fondness for Republican policies has

nuity of one hundred dollars, so that our
frugal Boards can retrench and economics?
Now, let's see: Didn't the Missionary
Voice tell us that Chinese woman, at
Shanghai, supported herself and family on
one dollar and seventy-fye cents month?
1t published letter to that very effect
from Sister Emma L. Lester.
Sister Emma says they work $50 Chinese
women in the Mission Embroidery shop, and
pay each woman $1.75 month
Sister Emma assures us that this sum is
far more than the Chinese merchants Fay
for similar service
"Upon this Sum, the worker feeds herself
and family, and never ceases to be thG}atfW
for the opportunity to earn 50 moatch."
Did Miss Emma Lester tell the truth?
Certainly she did. She had no motive to
speak falsely.
She acas aoriting about achat she KNOWS.
1t was not hearsay with her. She helps
boss those $50 Chinese work women, and she
helps to pay them their wages.
She learns from the women that they do
support themselves, and their families, and
are glad to get that much
Yet DR.. William Smith asks you to be-
heve that a missionary man and wife, paid
5000 each, must have 500 year added to
their annual 81 200, because the extra $500
is necessary for the couple to Ice on!
DR.. Smith must have poor opinion of
the intelligence of the average reader Of the
Mder
A Chinese woman at Shanghai "never
ceases to be thankful for the chance the
missionary gives her to earn $175 a month";
and on this sum she feeds herself and fam
lily; and yet the missionary couple, at
Shanghai, must not only have a fine house
rent free-and 81 200 year. but must have
eight dollars q month for the ba6Y!
The Chinese woman, sewing for the mis-
sionary, supports herself and family-pay-
ing house-rent, too-on less than one fourth
of the amount paid ertra to the married
missionary, for each of his children.
BREIHREN, IT'S 4 SHANEI
Brother William Smith feebly proceeds:
AS the children grow Older their education
calls for additional expense which in most cases
is very great. There public schools on
mission fields to which the children of the mis-
sionaries can be sent. The missionary must Sc
tutor at his own expense or if he lives
in a center where there several missionary
families, he may join with other families in the
employment of a teacher of less ability.
Where this cannot be DONE the mother of the
children, in addition to her other duties must
devote herself to the instruction of her children
Are these children too good to associate
with the little Chinks, Japs, Koreans, and
I1lhuOos tnaC are pehg educated IN the MIS-
sion Schools?
Does DR.. Smith mean to have us under
stand that the foreign missionary won't
allow has children to be taught by the mis-
sion teachers?
Must haze q p15Vate tutor!
My! How proud we are, to be sure.
By the time each missionary kid is old
enough to be privately tutored, the extra
allowance for the child has already mounted
up to say $500; at the age of fifteen, it is
81 500. and then it increases to 81 80 a wear

DIR. William III. Smith Defends
Payment OF Yearly Salaries
TO Missionary Kids.

Smith, OF the Richmond Board, defends
the payment of baby -bounties to the foreign
missionaries.
It is feeble defense
Besides, it is not candid, or truthful 1t
is partly an evasion partly an effort to
muddy the water, and partly a mis- state
ment as to the facts.
DR.. Smith tries to stir up prejudice, by
saying that criticism of baby-bounties "has
been started by the enemies of the foreign
mission work"
What does it matter acho started the crit
cism? The question is
Does the payment of these rewards for
child getting constitute proper item in the
expense account of our churches?
| am no enemy Of Scr5ptural foreign mis-
sions; and my contribution was forthcoming,
regularly, until missionary made remark,
at my table, which arrested my attention,
and caused me to inveStig0te
When l discovered that my money, like
yours, was being used to educate foreign
children, and to maintain magnificent hos
pitfalls for Chinks Japs, and Hindoos I
quit
If the Boards will listen to common sense,
and cut out the William Carey subsidy and
the commercial features, I'll begin again.
DR.. Smith says, In his Index article:
The Foreign Mission Board allows every mis-
S1onary family 500 annually for each child under
ten years of age and $50 annually for each
child between ten and eighteen years of age.
This allowance has been the custom of all foreign
mission boards since the beginning of modern
foreign mission work. Some CT the boards make
much larger allowance than our board.
There you have it. plainly stated, and I
hope that some of the brethren who have
disputed my word about it, will now set me
right
One hundred dollars year, extra for each
child, and the bounty had it's beginning
when?
With the beginning of the modern for
eign mission work."
Modern? 0 my! How modern, DR.. Will
liam?
Give us the dote,. won't you, please sir?
Tell us exactly when this jackass business
began-this business of paying a foreign
preacher for Obeying the Bible as to replen-
ishing the earth.
The Bible does plainly make it the duty
of preacher to increase the population, if
he is able; but the Book nowhere tells us we
must pay him for it.
And I'd like to know how the Boards
ascertaned that $500 year was the correct
amount of the bounty.
| can imagine the JOY of missionary
couple, as they observe signs of visit from
the storl1 and saying to each other
Here comes another little hundred dollars
a year"
Home preachers never know the happi-
ness of adding to the bank account, as thew
greet new arrivals from Babyland
Brother William Smith feebly proceeds:
This custom grows out of the desire of the
boards for economy in their foreign mission work.
The salaries of the missionaries are put on the
lowest basis on which single missionary or a
man and his wife can live. With salary calcu-
lated on this basis the support of each child is
an item Of expense which must be taken into

SHOOTS TWO PERSONS;
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Former. Employe of Vermont Farmer Kills Mrs. Wheaton and Farm
 Hand.-Commits Suicide

St. Johnsbury, Vt. Jan. 4.-Mrs. Charles Wheaton, wife of a farmer living on the outskirts of this city, and William Lane, farm hand, were shot and killed today by a former em- ploye of the Wheatons, J. Douglas London, who later committed suicide. London is believed to have been in sane. Details of the tragedy, sup piled by Lane in a statement before he died by a four years old daughter of Mrs. Wheaton, and by Mrs. James kilburn, with whom the slayer board ed, indicated that London. armed with a rife, went to the Wheaton farm during MT. Wheaton's absence. Lane fled to the barn on hearing London's announcement that he intended to kill him and received a bullet through the abdomen when London fired through the door, London then entered the house and pursued Mrs. Wheaton toward a front room. His first shot missed, but as the woman closed door, London fired through the panel. the bullet piercing Mrs. Wheatons heart. Returning home, London told Mrs. Kilburn that he had killed Mrs Wheaton and Lane, and ordered her to give the alarm, as he was going to kill himself. After Mrs. kilburn had fled, London went into the barn and shot himself through the head.
 London had been in the habit of visiting the Wheatons every Sunday and made his accustomed call yester- day, but his actions did not appear unusual. Mrs. kilburn said today that for the past month London had talked in an incoherent manner about the Wheatons, but that very little attention was paid to what ne said. When he first came here last spring, London said that he formerly kept hotel at Shin Pond. Me.
 Mrs. Wheaton is survived by husband and six daughters. Three of the girls were being driven to school by their father when the mother was killed and the other three witnessed the tragedy.

TO PENETRATE INTO
 INTERIOR OF SIBERIA
Missionaries to Bring Relief to Ger man and Austrian Prisoners of
 War Sent There By Russia

Washington, Jan 4.-To relieve German and Austrian prisoners of war, a committee of missionaries, principally Americans, will start to- morrow from Picking for the interior of Siberia bearing medical supplies and clothing furnished by the Amer ican Red Cross and to plan an eXten- sion of their work of mercy.
 The prisoners are not confined, but generally have been paroled under pledge not to leave the neighbor- hood. Their only wants are food, clothing and medicine.
 In explanation of the parole of the prisoners, it is said that with it's ab- solute control of the Siberian rail way, which in winter affords the only possible egress from Siberia, the Rus sian government feels there is little possibility of escape.
