A Wise Man of the East

When we were rushing to press las
night we found already settled in oul
column this charmingly naive letter
which was intended, perhaps, for the
column Immediately to the west Of us
We hadn't the heart to disturb it:
Hotel Adelphla 9Th July, 1917.
Honored Sir--In many American col
umns l amuse myself exceedingly to con-
stantly read the always Irish patriot, who
speaks Of India, Egypt, Transvaal in
his foolish comparisons, and strong
vituperations of England. An eloquent
gentleman named Mr.. Cummings writes
in your today press much about such
things which he is not Informed about
I am Hindustan an am born in Cal
cutta, where the English rule has such
beneficence so that in not many years
I have gained not n little wealths by
business. l anger myself much that Mr.
Cummings thinks we are slaves. Does
ho not know that before the English
coming that the rajah took by force any
money he desire by brutal operations
and If some objections being made, that
person was caused to disappear dying
very rapidly. There are now no objec-
tlons, as the English magistrate is very
justly fierce in taking no backsheesh. In
gone days the justice people were not
such, and we must bury in the earth all
night murderers are swiftly killed by the
kind English We like It. / reside six
months in Egypt and discover also that
before the English such happenings were
exceedingly worse, but now the poor
stricken fellaheen can cultivate for some
certain riches. Effendi Cummings must
study his histories from some uncertain
books. No man of wisdom credits secret
TewtOnilt writings. My brother is making
businesses in the Transvaal and reports
much prospertieS Believe not therefore
improved malediCtions. The true studies
are to have residence in such lands, not
to peruse agitating scriptures. If robber
steals my land, the magistrate with great
celebrity, and strong remarks gives it to
me back. Why therefore shall France
not receive back their stolen Alsace. |
comprehend that Lloyd George desires
only indemnities for Belgium. The Ger.
many Colony question Is yet inanimated
do not know of the soldiers of America
but 1t is not the custom of elsewhere of
soldiers to write to newspapers of their
intended fighting objects, but perhaps in
the land of the free, each soldier makes
himself his commands. This would conceive
much battle confusion. We have many
Irishmen in India but we find them much
complaining and desiring to fight emerging
from the canteen. They love the fight for
the combat merely. In such fighting
lands, as in Bhopal and mountains, thS
British raj stops much murders, and un-
faithfulness. Some peoples fit themselves
not for voting government, perhaps Ire
land is such. The men of the mountains
who constantly fight do not make safe
living there for business. Great safety
and freedom to live doing business are
each countries requirements. If ireland
has such, her revolutions are sinful and
will have no successful endeavor. Ke-
celve Sir the abased and humble saluta.

-.O.us remarks about what he called the
"gush" in President Wilson's message to
the world of our reasons for going to war
with the Central Powers.
The gentleman confesses to being a stu
dent of history. and yet by his extreme
statements one can hardly believe that he is
warranted by the knowledge he has gained
in giving out this distorted message to the
public. His inherited strong dislike of the
British is his private privilege but It is
unfair and undemocratic to misstate history
In order to serve his personal bias.

Government Afraid of Him

week or two ago they talked of him a
great deal He was to be the new food
controller: he was to succeed Lord Cow
dray at the air board new post was TO be
found for him the Government was afraid
to take him on. And with this talk came
revival of everything which Britain has felt
since the early days of the war, For the
average man and woman who gives Church.
III credit for mobiizng the leet-Teally the
decisive factor in the declaration of war,
for If the fleet had not been mobilized the
declaration might have been even later
these same people blame him bitterly for the
ruin of Antwerp and the folly Of the Dar-
daneles. Those who read the papers re-
member that Mr.. Asquith took responsible
ity for the Dardaneles on himself and on
the whole Cabinet. When the Gallipoli re-
port came out IT was Asquth and not
Churchill who made the great defense. But
Churchill remains the whipping boy for this
misfortune. And yet not one person in
England will venture bet against his re-
turn to office, to great office.
1t Is more than astonishing II is a trib-
ute to tho fierce sincerity of the man him
self. He left the Cabinet--he could hardly
do less. But he would not leave the coun-
try He believes, at least he did believe
until recently that the war could not be
won by pushes" He believed in STROKES"
everywhere, but particularly away from the
eastern-western main theatres Of war He
diagnosed the German strategy absolutely.
/
longer / saw him recently and heard him
speak, and 1 am inclined to bet on his
vigor against the properness and sobriety
Of his colleagues He is still a handsome
man, still young looking But the best
thing about him is the impression he gives
of Of fighting fighting always. and for a
cause.
II he stays out all through the war he
will still have his chance. When he
"chucked" the Unionist party It was al
most as II a covenant had been made to
make him Prime Minister. one other Lib
eral stood in his way, and that man is now
the Prime Minister, but he has lost the
Liberal party. After the war, in the shift
ings of parties, Winston Churchill may
find himself leader Of n group outside both
parties, yet strong enough to put its leader
in place of power. But there is no fore
telling. There is only the pleasure of watch
ing an unaccountable star.
In a book written many years before the
war Alfred G. Gardner, the brilliant editor
of the Daily News, wrote of Churchill;
Remember, he is a soldier first, last
and always. He will write his name big
on our future Let us take care that he
does not write 1t in blood.
And now Churchill has written II in
blood But there are many who feel sure
that he will write It again, more slowly,
more brilliantly, in the golden letters of
genius devoted to the service Of his coun-
try. He is not altogether an Alcibiades.

THE TOWERS OF HOLY CROSS
The roads look up to Holy Cross,
The sturdy towers look down,
And show a kindly word to all
Who pass by Worcester town;
And once you'd see the boys at play,
Or marching cap and gown,
The gallant towers at Holy Cross
Are silent night and day;
A few young lads are left behind
Who still may take their play.
The Cross and Flag look out afar
For them that went away.
Then God be with you, says the Cross
And the brave towers looking down
I'll be your cloth, sings out the Flag,
For other cap and gown.
And may we see you safe again.

An American Englishman

II is not on record that Mr.. Churchill
thanks God every day for his American
descent, but he certainly realizes that he
was once master of the British imagination
because he had an American energy,
Astounding and daring and dangerous, added
to the audacity which came from his great
father, the grand manner, the trick OF com
polling attention.
Everything he had done until the war
broke out was profit to him. At the age or
twenty y-three he was a famous historian, Tor
his record Of The River War, Kitchener $
Soudan campaign, is a model of historical
narrative, and the downright defiance OF
Kitchener in 1t is another instance of his
bravery. At the age of twenty-five he had
fought in Cuba with the Spanish forcesh
in the Tirah expedition, with the Malakand
Field Force on the northwest frontier OF
India, in the Soudan, and with Butler and
Roberts through the Boer War He had
been captured, had escaped--his enemies
insist that he broke parole from Pretoria.
The fact is, at least, that he lived through
Spion Kop and was with the relieving col
umn when it entered Ladysmith
He has been Home Secretary and presi-
dent of the Board of Trade and First Lord
of the Admiralty He is soldier and sailor,
too by that token. He has summoned ar
tillery to capture n group Of murderers in
the heart of London and has sent a mission
to Antwerp which could not have saved an
anthill from the Germans He has thrown
the military over half England to check a
railway strike and he participates in the
guilt of the DardanelleS He is something
of a novelist, IA biographer an orator He
looks for perfection in everything; he wants
always to be not only where the band is
playing, no wants to conduct the best band
in the land. 1 quote ragtime; somehow Mr..
Churchill is not alien to the spirit Of our
country
