LEARNED RIND00 LECTURES

DR.. n. Krishna, a learned native OF
India gave n free lecture at the Or.
pheum theatre Monday evening. He
is most decidedly anti-British. He ac-
cuses England Of keeping down Indian
industries and exploiting the poor ma
tives. lie asserts that England makes
many millions annually fcom her India
trade but that the people there are
starving, that education is discouraged
and hordes Of high priced officials bill
etei on the country. He gave long
recital of midas wrongs. The lectur-
cr, who is quite evidently a man Of
learning, denied being in the employ
of any German authority or German
sympathizers. He claims strict neu-
tralty in the European conflict. He
is touring the world to spread inform
alton of the terrible conditions in his
native land.
