There is fifth difficulty. India
is poor country, though she is
growing richer. The revenue is small
Tor the size of the country and the
population. Much has to be met
from it. that is, communications are
still defective in some parts of the
country. More money is wanted
THE present lack of it affects all kinds
Iof education. Higher education
partly pays for itself through fees,
but the quality needs improving
elementary education falls mainly
on provincial funds and rates; the
latter are not easily explained"
But even in recent years l have
seen new schools erected and draw
ing only half dozen boys, when
there were 40 to so, who lived with
in half mile, could easily have
come so far as distance was concern
ed and would have had to pay no
fees at all. But things are improv-
ing. People are coming more and
more to see that there is some utility
in reading and writing"
The correspondent brought up the
question ne ,rhothar rosort Vol,

THE country is not yet ready for

raise great discomfort. A progress,
sive ruler in a native state. who has
done much to advance education in
his state, gave his opinion as follows.
D., Make primary education as free as
you choose, add as many further in
ducements as you can, but do no,
make it compulsory. In the case oi
the most advanced classes it is alb
solutely unnecessary and would
serve only to create irritation. In the
case of the poor backward classes II
would inilict harm where good was
meant, would subject them to grea,
harassment, would be positively
cruel and unjust. and would be
deeply though silently resented as
such"
The commissioner added, however
that education might be made com.
pulsory in more advanced areas and
the measure of compulsion gradually
applied to others.

tinued "In Baroda and the sur

allied conference was made last night
at the annual banquet of the Anglo
American Press Association. which was

ELATED TO KNOW NE is
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
Alexander F. Freisheim Makes Dis
covery at the Once Of the q. s.
Marshal Here.

Instead of being an "alien enemy
and subject to eviction from the Dis
trict of Columbia by December Is. Alex
ander Fred Freisheim Of 1863 Morse
street northeast. discovered today that
he is an American citizen and may re-
main in Washington as long as he
pleases. Freisheim made the dlscov-
cry when he appeared before United
States Marshal splain to fll out the
blanks required Of all German sub
jects that have not completed their
naturalization.
Born in the "faderland" of German
parents. Freisheim came to this coun-
try when about flve years old with his
widowed mother.
Shortly after their arrival the mother
remarked, selecting for her second
husband an American citizen. and by
this act, under the American law, she
became an American citizen and all her
minor children were naturalized auto
matically. Not being acquainted with
this provision of the law. and wishing
to buy real estate, Friesheim said, he
made declaration as a German sub
but the time had not expired for the
Issuance OF them to him before the
declaration Of war suspended all such
proceedings as to Germans. He was
elated to know that he is an American
citizen and has been for many years
Application probably will be made to
the court to expunge the record Of the
declaration and subsequent request for
final papers.

MARKET MORE ORDERLY
THOUGH QUITE UNCERTAIN
Conflicting Factors Feature Weeks
Trading, Which Is Again Ap-
preciably Curtailed.

NEW YORK. November 24.-The
British drive in France and the delay
In arriving at settlement of the diff
ferences between the railroad exec
utives and their employees were the
conflicting factors OF a more orderly.
though uncertain week in the stock
market
Trading was again appreciably cur
tailed by reason Of the limits imposed
by the stock exchange authorities, but
this did not interfere with a moderate
revival Of activity for the long account
In various speculative specialties.
Rails were further restrained by the
publication OF September table OF
earnings compiled by tho Interstate
Commerce Commission which disclosed
another striking disparity between
gross and net returns.
The more settled state Of the steel
and iron industry contributed to the
strength Of those issues, some Of which
made substantiai rallies from recent
low levels. Relations between produc-
ers and the government are said to be
moro satisfactory than at any time
since price fixing problems presented
themselves.
Foreign monetary conditions found
their clearest reflection in the further
collapse Of italian exchange. lires re-
cording an extreme depreciation Of al
most, IS per cent. Russian remittances
were substantially higher with con-
current recovery in several Of the
