TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH.
East London.

The poor quarter of London is I'M
rivaled as the greatest center of squalid
poverty to be found on the globe. No
other place can even approach its un-
paralleled meanness and monotony.
Here is city of more than 100000
inhabitants-more people than there
are in Berlin, Philadelphia. Moscow or
Vienna--yet which is so benighted that
it has neither a cathedral a high
school. u newspaper Office, bookstore
nor a hotel.
According to recent statistics, 80
per cent of the population of East Lon
don hate no religion at all. and only
four persons out of every 100 ever go
to church. So far as the investigators
could learn, the reason for the failure
of the masses to attend service was
not caused by hostility to religion, but
simply Indifference to it. They neither
knew nor cared anything about it,
The same investigators found that
only one person in every 500 in the
whole of East London was independent
of his days work. This means that o99
people out of every 600 must get up in
the morning and bestir themselves in
order to satisfy their hunger and pro-
vide roof for the night. 1t means
that all they can get for their days
exertion will provide them with no
more than this, and that if they fail to
work every day they must either beg
or steal or starve.
Public spirit is SO lacking in this
quarter that the authorities make no
further appeal to the martial instincts
of the people living there. No flags fly
over the public buildings, no soldiers
are quartered there. and there are no
parades of troops through the streets.
What Is the use? You cannot fire
the blood of people who have no inter-
est in God or country or anything.
