ROYALTY IN JAVA
Pomp and Majesty Always Ac-
company Sultan.
Gold Umbrellas an Indispensable Ad.
junct of Procession With Which
Ruler Dazzles the Eyes of His
Faithful Subjects.

The most cherished batik day in my
memory was the day we went to see
the palace of the sultan of Djok jak-
arta, who has an establishment of 10
600 wives, children, grandchildren,
j soldiers and servants. An old Dutch
official showed us everything except
the old sultan himself. A gold UNI
brella, the insignia of Javanese royal
atty, always accompanies the sultan
and his family wherever they go. On
/ state occasions many gold umbrellas
are carried behind the sultan or held
over him by his maids of honor, who
live in one of the shedlike entrances
to the private apartments of the sui
tan.
These maids of honor, to whom we
talked through an interpreter, were
handsomely dressed in the finest batik
sarongs and wore gittering jewels on
their bare necks. No one can be adj
mitted to the honorable post of maid
of honor until she has reached the
secure age Of 70 years. and those we
saw, to judge by their wrinkled faces
and bony shoulders, must have held
the position from twenty to forty
years. The royal batik workers in the
palace also are old hays, so that there
may be no grounds fer jealousy on the
part of the sultan's 300-odd wives.
The soldiers guarding the entrance to
the different courtyards were as fine
looking men physically as one might
see in Java, in spite of their perfect
comic-opera uniforms.
They seemed taller than they actu-
ally were, because each of them wore
black fez tall as chimney-pot and
held himself as straight as q ramrod
as he marched across the plaza with
slow, majestic step, which was not I'M
like the ritualistic walk of high
church acolyte or a stately Shinto
priest. The soldiers as a rule wear
nothing above the waist, but, in defer
ence to the "cool" season, perhaps
(the temperature had dropped to only
95 degrees or SOY they were, when l
saw them, wearing blue and black jer-
seys with broad stripes running
around their muscular torsos.
Their brown batik sarongs were not
trinity and tightly folded about the
waist, as most Javanese wear them,
but were punched up in fantastic
way like huge hustle or pannier over
one hip, to allow them, l inferred, to
get at the kris, which was always
worn on the tucked-up side. Their feet
were bare, yet ! noted that several of |
them were wearing puttees above
their shOeless feet. When on guard at
the entrance they do not stand as our
sentries do, but squat in Javanese
style or sit cross-legged in semi-Turk-
ish fashion. Their officers, rich young |
Doblemen, were obviously elegant dan
dies, who disported with an indescrib-
able grace and air the most wonderful
cream and chestnut batik sarongs.-

BRITISH PEOPLE
TAXED FOR HUGE
WAR DEFICITS
Railways and Coal Mines are
Financial Invalids Man
aged by Government

LONDON, August 2-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press)-.
British railways and coal mines are at
present financial invalids. Both of
these industries still are controlled by
the government, under war legisla-
ton. Proposals that both should be
naJionalized are among the most i'm
portant reconstruction plans now
being agitated here.
The British railways are managed
by the new Ministry of Transport
with guarantee of pre- war profits
to the shareholders. The coal mines
are operated by controller who
fixes the compensation of the mine
owners.
"The transport systems of the
country are financially in a semi
paralyzed state" the Minister of
Transport, Sir Eric Geddes, recently
told the House of Commons. The
balance sheet of the railroads for the
coming year, as he forecast it, will
show loss of from f71, 100000 to
&73,000,000, against an annual profit
of about e43,000,00O for the five last
years before the war.
The annual wage bill of the rail-
ways before the war was about $780,
100000, and Sir Eric estimates the
increased war wages and other con-
cessions at f57000,000, the eight
hour day and other new concessions
to cost from f20,000,000 to 925, 000,-
600 and the extra cost of materials
and coal f27,000,000, making the in
creased cost of running the railroads
f14OO0,000 to 9107,000,000 without
! taking into account the great deprec-
! iation of plant during the war.
Some financiers contest these figur-
es strongly and assert that the deficit
is merely paper one due to failure
in bookkeeping to charge the immense
government traffic at rates which
private traffic would cost, and that
= the financial outlook is nowise as bac
as Sir Eric's view of it.
The deficits of the railways anc
mines are defrayed under present
arrangements, the former directly
from the treasury out of the pocket.
OF the taxpayers, the latter by The

he should take the time, above an
things, to learn about the men who are
to be voted for as public officers. He
should follow only those leaders who
are true to the peoples interest"
After sketching the rise Of democ-
racy in this country and the part taken
in 1t by various foreign leaders the
pamphlet says: 1.-THE European strug-
gle for liberty is marked oftentimes
by terrible injustice, by disrespect for
law, by public disorder and public dis
aster. In its history injustice rs often
revenged by injustice not overcome
by equality Of opportunity. We see a
noteworthy and terrible example of
license-not liberty-in Russia today
All these attempts are endeavors after
liberty and in that measure are praise
worthy. When they grow to lawess-
ness they must be condemned by every
lover of democracy"
Millions of copies of this patriotic
primer will be printed and distributed
not only in the channels of this civic
education campaign Of the National
Catholic War Council, but through ev-
cry civic agency in the work Of which
1t would prove Of value.

PATRIOT PRIMER
FOR FOREIGNERS
Simple Story of Our Nation Told
by Catholic Council to
New Citizens.

Washington.-As ammunition in its
the nine million foregn-born and illit-
crate people in the United States, the
National Catholic War Council has is
sued patriotic primer entitled 1.-THE
Fundamentals of Citizenship" from it's
headquarters in this city. In less than
fifty pages of short, simple sentences
h, the history and idea Of American de-
mocracy as well as the needs and
rights Of it's people are outlined in this
little book, with brief explanations of
such subjects as public education,
health, legislation, representation, the
courts, foreign relations, fraud preven-
tiOn, insurance, taxation, naturaliZa-
tion and duties of citizenship. Trans
lated into foreign languages or quoted
by thousands of the trained native
speakers who are enlisted in this civic
campaign, the contents of this hand
book on American democracy will be
placed before every man, woman and
child in this country whose civic ignO-
rance might make them easy prey for
BOlsheviki propaganda. 1t includes
copies of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Constitution of the Unit
ed States.
Declaring that "Our country Is the
land of freedom and opportunity" and
that knowledge of its Constitution is
necessary to the American-bOrn as well
as to the foreign-born "if they, too are
to take up the task of faithful citizen
ship" this primer of patriotism de-
votes itself at the outset to "the gen.
eral work of reconstruction in citizen
ship" 1t explains that "the citizen
who does not possess some knowledge
of our democratic institutions may
easily become the prey of the dema-
gogue or Of persons who are anxious
to advance their own interests at the
expense of the people"
Democracy requires of each man
great respect for order, more unself-i
ish consideration Of every mans rights
and advantage" asserts this new PAM
phlet under the heading "The Needs of
the People" Each citizen is respon-
sible for the conduct of the Govern
ment. He is part Of the state, not
merely a subject of it. The Govern
ment is his. If it is bad it is his fault,
He has put power into the wrong,
hands,"
"The first duty of every citizen is to,
vote at every election" it is declared,
in a chapter on "The Citizens Part"
HE has no right to shirk this simple
duty. No one has a right to complain
about how things are done if he fails
to vote. 1t is not fair play to the rest
of the people when any man does not
help to do the work which benefits all.
Every citizen should study public
questions enough to vote wisely, and

Carrying the ''Star
Of Bethlehem
.HE Star of Bethlehem as seen in
Holland is a pretty, but cheap

THE Star of Bethlehem as seen in
Holland is u pretty, but cheap
sight, for it costs nothing. 'Tis
the harbinger of Christmas, n huge
Illuminated star, which is carried
through the silent, dark Dutch streets,
shining upon the crowding people and
typical of the star which once guided
the wise men Of the East.
The young men Of Dutch town who
go to the expense of this star, which
is carried through the streets as sig
nal that Christmas has come once
again, are swayed by the full intention
of turning the Star Of Bethlehem to
account.
They gather money from the crowds
for the poor, and, having done this for
the good of those whom fortune has
not befriended, they betake them to
the head burgomaster of the town,
who is bound to set down the youths
who form the star company to very
comfortable meal. 'Tis great insti.
tuition, the Star Of Bethlehem, in many
Dutch towns and cities. And may it
never die out, for it does harm to no
man and good to many.
