two groups OF song which she rendered
and the Mozart Quartet gave great sat

lions in his usual brilliant and finished
style while Paul Roy. local baritone
solofst, assisted in the program with q
fne rendition. All the artists were
given encores and were generous in
that regard.

bright and sparkling, and closing with
httiug climax.
The Mozart Quartet also gave two
pleasing groups of selections.
One notable number, ION the
Sea-" was a brilliant composition
with fine balance Of parts and har-
mony of tone which was most pleas
ing. "The Musical Trust" was bit
of comedy that was unexpected by
the band and told the story of three
musicians who playing by themselves
amounted to but little but by form

count Of themselves. The quartette
consisted Of Ernest j. Hill, first
tenor; Joseph w. Whitney, second
tenor: Howard r. Stevens. baritone

Max Cimbollek was heard in a
most engaging group Of violin solos,
accompanied by Mrs. Beth Pooler
"The Caprice Basque" the first num-
Der, was technical in character, with
double stops and left hand pizzicato
and harmonics. 1.-THE Valse Bluett''
was a dainty staecato number,
while the Indian Lament" showed
breath of tone and phrasing.
Paul Roy gave a most excellent
rendition of a baritone horn solo
which was enthusiastically applaud
ed.
A comedy number was played by
the band when two Bolsheviki with
fierce looking whiskers acted as con-
ductors.
Every number given by the band
was finely rendered and enthusiast
tically applauded.
The concert ended with The Star
Spangled Banner" While there was
a good audience, it was not so large
as the occasion should have been
favored with.

EDITOR FROM ORIENT
ANSWERS CHARGES
OF BRITISH, MIS-RULE

RuStom RuStomJee, editor OF the
Oriental Review and member of the
Indian National Congress. who has
been in the city for a day or so and
spoke at Colby, said in an interview
Tuesday that his object in coming1o
this country is two-fold. First, to
tell the people Of America the true
condition of affairs in his country and
how Great Britain rules. He said that
many lies had been circulated by the
Sim Feiners inspired and paid by
East Indian propagandists; second;
he was here to do all in his power
with the resources he had at his dis
posal to knit together in peace,
friendship and harmony the people
OF the United States and the British
Empire. For l am convinced" he
said, beyond shadow of a doubt
that they constitute the hope of the
world.
THEY are and must remain the
great 'bulwarks of Christian civiliza-
ton against the onward rush of Boil
shevism. If they fall out, Bolshevism
ana Professionalism would march tri-
umphantly to the continents of Africa
and Asia and the shock would be so
great as even to jeopardize the very
eistence of Christian civilization. even
in America and Europe. -.
THE charge against Great Britain
by these Indian agitators are: First,
the economic condition of India at
this time is far worse than in pre-
British days; second. that Great Brit
ain is denying the boon of education
TO the people of India: third, that
Great Britain has done nothing to
prepare the people of India to enjoy
the full fruition of a responsible gov
eminent.
THESE charges are absolutely UNI
true. The economic condition of
India is infinitely better since British
rule. India. since the time of Alex
ander the Great has never had inter-
nal or external pace, no justice, no
education and no settled government.
Great Britain has given her all these
Second, the percentage of bows and
young men going to universities and
COLES V is greater than even in
Japan. There are now schools in al
most esery village and England has
introduced free and compulsory edu-
cation in some Of the large and pro-
gressive provinces of India. Third.
Great Britain is preparing the people
OF East India to enjoy self govern
ment."
Mr.. Rustomjee left Tuesday after
noon for Boston.

WOOD HITS PRoFITEERs
Gougng by Meat Men in Cuba Brought
to End,

When General Wood was governor
general of Cuba he found there was
plenty Of food in Havana which the
people could not buy because of high
prices. He no sooner heard Of this
than he established line of procedure
to correct it. He sent for the principal
butchers of the city and asked:
How much do you charge for your
meat?"
Ninety cents a pound. senor."
What does it cost you?"
There was hesitation and shufiling
of feet. Then one of the men said In
a whining voice:
Meat is very dear, your excellency."
How much pound?"
"Fifteen cents, your excellency; but
we have lost much money during the
war, and"
$50 have your customers. Now
meot will be sold at 25 cents pound,
and not one cent more. Do you under
stand?"
Turning to an alderman General
Wood charged him to see that his or
der was carried out to the letter unless
he wanted to be expelled from office.
Thereafter meat was sold in the mar
kets of Havana at % cents. The same
plan was applied to all other kinds of
supplies.
