SELF GOVERNMENT IN INDIA
(By Associated Press }


London, Feb. 19.-Another step to-
ward self-government in India is
promised by the British Government
in the report, just issued, of the Roy
al Indian Commission. appointed some
time before the war to consider
means ito widen avenues of Indian
participation in the administration of
the country" The report. volumi-
nous document, has been ready for
more than year. but has been "pur-
posely delayed with view to avoid
ance of controversial discussion dur
ing the war" 1t is expected that the
main recommendation will be put
into effect without delay.
The most important change in In
dian administration will be an in
creased recruiting of men direct from
service. At present these posts are
filled in England, although Indians
who have resided certain time in
England may compete on an equal
basis with Englishmen in the exam
nations here. In the future. how
ever. there will be bifucated en-
rollment, with definite proportions of
the higher posts reserved for Indians
enducated in their own country.
In the police department the pre-
ponderance of the apointees will
still come from England. having re-
gard to the nature of British respon-
sibiity for the good goyernance of
India" In certain other services,
such as agriculture and forestry. half
the appointees will come from In
dia. Moreover. the English door TO
admission to the various services is
to remain open as before to Indian
candidates. and those successful are
| not TO be included in the proportion
| set apart for recruitment in India. In
| the case of the police. indeed. the
English door is opened for the first
time. as hitherto. only pure-bor1l
Europeans have been eligible Now
Indians will be entitled to compete
provided they have been educated in
England five years prior to the exam
ination. Much is done also to mod
/ ify the old grievance of preferential
pay between the London and the In
/ dian recruit

EXPLOSION ON BATTLESHIP
CRUISER WORK OF SPIES
(Ry Associated Press. !

Toxic. Feb 20.-Naval officers rid
icule reports that the explosion on
the battleship-cruiser Tsukuba on
January IA was the work of German
spies. The Tsukuba sank soon after
the explosion, and the revised esti-
mate shows that 157 seamen were
killed and that at least 80 injured
The cause remains a mystery but
is explained by naval man as prob
ably due to a spontaneous combus-
ton in the powder magazine. That
there was not a larger loss of life is
due to the fact that about half of
the crew were ashore at Yokosuka
where the warship was at anchor.
Captain Arima had just arrived on
board from shore when tremendous
roar which was heard many miles
away, the ship was eneaused in pill
lar of smoke and flames. The con-
cussion blew a hole in the hull
through which the water rushed and
within a few minutes the ship be-
gan to sink. There were $40 seamen
and few officers on board at the
time. Many were killed outright and
others were blown into the sea.
Launches and cutters were dis
patched to the rescue. Divers who
made an investigation found many
dead men seated about the table in
the mess-room. A number of sailors
who were on deck We're blown into
the air and were crushed to death
when they fell again to the deck.
The bodies of 62 sailors were recov-
cred from the sea and it is believed
that the rest are lodged in the wreck
of the ship.
The Tsukuba was the first large
warship to be built in home yards
the late Emperor and Empress dur
ing naval manoeuvres. The warshiI
visited America on the occasion o.
the jamestown exposition. She was
regarded as rather superannuatet
and was lately used as training
ship of naval gunnery.
Captain Arima was saved. Th'
picture of the Emperor which huns
in the officers room was saved b.
Lieutenant Fukumoto who rushed In
to the apartment at considerable risk
The ships flag was also removed b

An they never lay in bed an

They uster git up early. brushed
their teeth an combed their

An they always locked SO slick an

Their daddy never had to say, Go
bring a turn of wood"
They always leved to do such things,
as everybody should.
They kept the water bucket full an

IN not a speck of trash or dirt about

An when the school bell rang, dad
was Johnny on the spot"
lie loved to go when it was cold;
likewise when il was hot.
An after school they never did, oh,
no,
They fairly broke their necks in
haste to git the rake an hoe.
On Saturdays they ulster plow an
take the corn to mill,
An whenever company was there,
they was awful good an still.
So dent you tell my daddy that you

Dublin. Feb. LEN a letter read
q a luncheon to the officers Of the
IRISH Canadian Ran,gers ON their visit
her. John Redmond quoted statis-
tics to show the large number Of
Irishmen who had enlisted in the
army outside OF the Irish regiments.
The Irish leader said:
From Ireland itself. according to
the latest official figures, l73.l12
lrisLmen are serving in the navy
and army. representing all classes
and creeds among our people.
From careful inquiries made
through the churches in the north
OF ireland and Scotland, from the
casualty lists. and from ether
sources. the calculation has been
riade on high authority that at least
10000 sons of the Irish race. most
CT them born in ireland itself, have
joined the eolors.
In Great Britain it is pathetic
circumstances that these men are al
most forgotten except when their
names appear in the casualty lists
of non-Irish regiments. Some oil
the Irish papers have for a consid-
cradle time past been publishing day
bv day special casualty lists under
the heading Irish Casualties in
British regiments.

sonally greet the Rangers, being

COURT REFUSES TO INTERFERE
Decides osceola Commissioners Were
Within Rights in Rejecting
Paving Bid.

DeLand Friday and Saturday, in which
the Good Roads Construction company
endeavored to restrain the county
commissioners of Osceola county
from awarding contract for county
road paving to a rival bidder. was de-
ciaed by Judge Perkins in favor Of
the commissioners.
II was held that the statutes of this
state give the board of county com
missioners sufficient use of their own
discretion in awarding bids to justify
their action in refusing bid of the
Good Roads company and warding a
contract to a rival. in spite of the fact
thatt the bid of the Good Roads com
pany was more than $4,000 under their
competitor.
Judge Perkins declared that it was
the evident intent of the trainers oil
the law to allaw the commissioners
to use their own judgment in Sc
lecting bidders in whose business in

out their contracts the commissioners
had the most confidence. The deci
sion settles several points which have

from the economy board Of the Ma
tional Council of Defense ordering
the wholesale bakers not to accept
the returns of bread. In the past
much bread has been returned by the
retailer and the wholesaler used it in
making feed for chickens and hogs.
The order was made to reduce waste
due to the worldwide shortage of
wheat and demand from other coun-
tries.
Columbia dealers say that the Or
der will not be felt in Columbia and
that they have had no occasion here

returned is per cent of the amount
delivered to the retailer.

FORMS OF GOVERNMENT

Have you stopped to think of the
forms of governments of the world
Here is something that will give you
an idea of the population under the
three forms of government.
Absolute monarchies: Abyssinia,
Afghanistan and Siam with a pOpu-
lation of 22,OOO,OO0 and an area of
S6O,6OO square miles.
Limited monarchies are as follows:
Austria Hungary, Belgium and its
possessions, Bulgaria, Denmark and
possessions, German Empire and COL
onies, British Empire and colonies,
Greece, Italy and colonies, Japan and
dependencies, Luxembourg, Monaco,
Montenegro, Nepal, Netherlands, Nor
way, Rumania, Serbia, Spain and col
onies, Sweden and Turkey, all with
a population of S22,12S,746 and an
area of 1S,517,679 square miles. =.
Republics: Argentina, Bolivia, Bra
zil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, France and col
lonies, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras,
Liberia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama,
Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Russia,
Salvador, Switzerland, Uruguay, Ven
ezuela and the United States all with
a population of S71,296,529 and an
area of 2S,S34,647 square miles.
AS it is seen nearly all the Latin
race has adopted a republican govern
ment. The statistics show that put
ting together absolute and limited
monarchies the population is S44,-
12S,746 and the area in square miles
1s,377,67s. and if these numbers are
subtracted from those OF the republi- |
can governments it shows that there |
is a balance of 27,167,7S3 people and |
an area of 9,456,96S square miles in
favor of the republican form of gov
ernment.
