00 7AR censorship in regard to
N.\U India lately was lifted by
W\V London to let it be known
" " that there had been some
sharp fighting on the frontier of At
ghanistan. The censorship has allowed
little to be known about the seditious
movements in India until satisfied that
the sedition was pretty well smothered
In the same way it may be assumed
that the rising Of the tribesmen has
been overcome or else the news would
not be allowed to go out.
The news dispatches stated that the
British force had been engaged with
5000 tribesmen on the northwest from
tier. The novel feature was that the
British employed aeroplanes. which
were used for the first time in military
operations on that frontier.
Aeroplanes today are what machine
guns and modern rifles were a genera
ton ago in the fighting between the
tribesmen and the British. The natives
are at a disadvantage The tribesmen
would not be scared by the mere ap-
not crude savages who know nothing
of the weapons which civilization de-
velops. Instead. they make themselves
the possessors of these weapons and
quickly learn how to use them, but they
have no means of combating aeroplanes
or of obtaining them for their own use.
that in future contests they are ike
ly to be at the same disadvantage that
attended them in the recent skrmishes.
There is no connection between the
rising of these tribesmen and the
seditious movements In India. The
plots and uprisings against English
rule in India have been chiefly among
the Hindus. and especially among the
Bengalese. who are in every way the
antithess of the warrior tribes of the
frontier.
The Mohammedans of India have been
the chief reliance of the British in OFF,
setting the nItive sentiment for revolt.
1t, therefore. is disquieting for London
to learn of the revolutionary .ctivities
of the Mohammedans along the Afghan
frontier, although there is no reason
to suppose that they have any under
standing with the great body of Mos
lens, nor is there any ground for be-
lief that the sultans two-year-old
proclamation of a jehad. or holy war,
has Influenced the revolving tribesmen.
The real reason is, probably, that they
saw an opportunity for the assertion
Of their own independent spirit.
These tribesmen do not like author
ity. The allegiance they have given
to British authority has been about as
loose as that given by the Arabian
Bedouins of the Yemen to Turkish au-
thority.
While accepting the probability that
the worst of the outbreak is over it,
nevertheless. is not unreasonable to
suppose that the disturbances have
been more numerous and more wide
spread than was reported. The real
question is how far the tribesmen have
the sympathy OF their fellow tribesmen
on the other side of tie Afghan bound
Evening star., 1916-12-03

The dispatches stated that the Moh-
mands who led the revolt are members
of warlike tribes which live along the
Kabul river, in northwest India, and
that the engagement occurred near the
boundary of Afghanistan. Consequently.
it Is not unlikely that the revolters
made their way through the hills and
the passes into Afghanistan itself They
would there have the sympathy of their
co-religionists and of kindred who
share with them the objection to au-
thority Of any sort, although ac-
knowledging allegiance to the amir, the
despot.c ruler Of Afghanistan.
Anglo-Indians in London and else
where on reading the reports undoubt-
edly thought more of the effect in
Afgh4nistan than of the effect in In
iia. Some of them most likely were
thankful that Russia Is now an ally of
England, and that the Russian ad-
vance to India through Afghanistan is
no longer a boyle. 1t was not always
90.
British policy for half a century was
directed to guarding against this sup
posed Russian advance: Yet not all
the British in India looked upon it as
q probability. Years ago. at Rawal-
pindi. the military cantonment in

way to the Kyhber pass that leads into

"The eight-hour law on public works
will be passed by the next Indiana
legislature, which will mean an in.
, crease of 20 per cent in the cost of
labor on public work, or SIG, 1000 on the
Main street bridge, and about the same
on the South G street BRIDGE" he
said.
Mr.. Mueller points out that the in
creased cost of steel and cement would
amount to very small amount.

he would be the best suited.

nor the fact that we donated much
money and ground for his National

"At first we thought we would give
up the fight, but now not So" said
Hans Kohl today. 1--WE will bring the
appropriation up again within few
weeks as an emergency. Our grounds
will be the relief of the congested
traffic on Main street by diverting the
interurban and street car lines over
the South G street bridge"

missioners said eve kept putting off
adding the appropriation to our budget
until after the first week in August to
give them a chance to convince us
that our decision about slanting
bridge was wrong. If we had followed
our natural inclinations and placed it
on the budget when we had first plan
ned to, four votes would have passed
it and the votes of Councilmen Druley
and Bockhoff would have made no diff
ference"

PAPERS COMMENDED
FOR THEIR METHODS

Social Service Bureau will present
the proposition to Richmond news
papers in the near future that the
name of no child under Is years OF
age ever be used in story telling
about some criminal act.
1T is unfair to child to use his
name in this way" said John Mel
polder in speaking of it.. "A child's
early life sometimes depends on his
environment and he is naturally mis-.
chievious. He is not really respon'
sible for what he does. Although he
should be punished, he should receive
no notoriety for his acts"
Mr.. Melpolder complimented the
way in which the papers are already
handling such news and spoke es-
pecially favorably of the methods in
which they handle suicides.
When suicide is played to the
sky it always leads to a number of
Others" he said. II think statistics
will prove that the number of suicides
has decreased greatly since the papers
have been playing down the news
concerning them as much as possible .

TContnued From Page One.
the commissioners call US together
later in an emergency session to make
an appropriation for the repair of the
structure if they find after investiga-
ton that it is advisable. Then too,
will never vote for a slanting bridge
against my judgment that level one
extending up to Second street should
be erected.
1.-THE reason that we did not vote for
the South G street bridge was because
we did not want to pass on it before
the Main street problem was decided
upon. Prices Of materials are another
objection against the building of the
South G street bridge at this time he
said.
To show that they were not opposed
to the eventual erection of the South
G street bridge, both Bockhoff and
Druley proposed and advocated that
the one cent levy be maintained for
the South Side Bridge fund. This pro-
posal was passed by the council
During this years session of the
ed thoroughly that this levy is illegal
and that it would be very hard to col
lect it under the strict Interpretation
of the law. 1t was also shown the
council that the fund would not neces-
sarily have to be used for a South
Side Bridge
Confers With Wilfred Jessup
Attorney Wilfred Jessup and Coun-
Gilman Bockhoff have been in very
close touch with each other all
the session.
At former sessions Jessup has ad-
vocated the repair of the present Main
street structure. Tuesday afternoon
he gave an extended talk before the
council on the Evans appeal from the
decision of the Board of Public works
which is now pending in the Circuit
Court
"This discussion had nothing d.
rectly to do with the appropriation
for the South G street bridge" County
Attorney Gus Hoelscher said today.
THE only purpose of the speech it
seems was to scare the councilmen
out of making an appropriation for
the bridge at this time Hoelscher
said. Bockhoff is client of Jessup"
In the speech Tuesday Jessup said
he was representing the Evans family
He advocated that the council require
the city to agree to pay the damages
to the Evans property caused by Ne
opening of South G street, as found by
the circuit court before the approx T "a
ton was made. He pointed out tina. in
case the city was not satisfied with the
decision of the court it could dismiss
the suit and the street would be closed
thus resulting in no outlet for the G
street bridge.
Told Of County's Attitude.
Jessup had previously been informed
that the appropriation would be made
with the understanding that the COM
missioners would not grant the con-
tract for the bridge or sell the bonds
until after the Evans appeal had been
settled.
In respect to the contention of
Bockhoff that the prices of construc-
ton will go down, Engineer Mueller
submitted a divided estimate of the
cost and percentages of the total diff.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much SUI
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to con-
slider the method employed by the
English to combat this insidous dis
ease. Everyone knows how damp the
English climate is and how dampness
affects those suffering from catarrh.
In England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as a constitu-
tional disease and use an internal
remedy for it that is really very eff
ficacious
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
a watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick
of a watch was plainly audible seven
and eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone who
Is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home for about 75c
and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. Par
mint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to it
IA pint of hot water and ounces of
granulated sugar: stir until dissolved.
Take tablespoonful four times day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiam-
nation and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear, and the results it gives are usual
ly remarkably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.-Adv.

MILLIONS ADDED BY WAR
 TO OUR HOARD OF GOLD
Within $5o,ooo,ooo of Total Supply of
 England, France, Russia and Germany.

The Mechanics and Metals National bank of New York, commenting in its monthly circular on the shifting of financial strength from Europe to the United States, says that, while two years ago the four great central banks of Europe-the Bank of England, Bank of France, Bank of Germany and Bank of Russia-held $6S0,O00000 more gold than was possessed in this country, to- day the gold supply of the United States is within $50OO0,O0O of the combined holdings of the four central reservoirs of Europe.
 The change that has come about is little short of wonderful, the circular adds, and by reason of that change the United States among the industrial nations is the most favorably situated. with the greatest accumulation of gold. Thirty per cent of the whole worlds monetary stock of the metal is held within the borders of the United States instead of 9 per cent, as was reckoned in 1914. Such is the situation today. notwithstanding that during the inter val of the war three of the great banks mentioned have used every means in their power to build up their reserve; and have drawn to themselves virtual ly all but the deliberately boarded gold in the countgies they serve. In con trast with this the banks of the United States have not only refrained from seeking gold, but have actually consid- cred means of stemming its flow into fry Vnf is,f hn fhac ply of the United States has increased: Aug. l, 1914. ,SS7 0OO,0OO Aug. l, 2,006 O00, 600
 In so short space of time as two 1 years we have added to our gold sup l ply the sum of more than S60O,000,O00. ] The central banks of the four great nations at war have meanwhile taken | in sufficient gold only to offset outgo | and to increase their combined supply ! by a net amount of $30,000.O00. This is the manner in which the aggregate gold holdings of the Bank of England, Bank of France. Bank of Germany and Bank of Russia have changed:

 By contrast with these achievements | the circular recalls that on the out break of the war it was freely pre- dicted that Europe would throw her American securities on the New York market in volume too great to be ab- sorbed and that our gold would be drained away and our currency system | dislocated.
