AFCHANISTAN ONCE MORE
FEARS BEARS PAW

The collapse of czardom In Russia
was hailed with acclaim In Afghani-
stan as freeing her from an influence
that often has been embarrassing. But
the menace Of the bears paw is re-
newed with the threatened incursions
of the Bolsheviki.
To the stranger the Afghan displays
entail courtesy. In fact, national
prOverb Is that 1.-THE man who shuts
his door to a stranger Is no Afghan"
But the stranger also would do well
10 know saying current among the
HindOos: "God shield you from ven
geance of the elephant. the cobra and
the Afghan" For many strangers
have found that, upon provocation, to
which the Afghan Is extremely sensi-
tive, his disposition Is vengeful, cruel
and crafty. His desire for pillage,
theft and deception also Is apt to get
the best of him.
Your Afghan is a swarthy, swag-
gering, proud, but withai progresses
ing sort of man, every inch the war
riOr while he keeps his turban on.
but giving a faint suggestion of be-
wigged jurist of old English days
when he removes II to disclose head
shaven from forehead to crown. with
curly ringlets falling about his shout
ders from the unshaven portions.
Occasionally the men are fair, as
~ hai In
two plaIts with colOred tassels at the
end, conceivably might call to mind
an American musical comedy chorus
prepared to sing "School Days." were
II not for their flowing oriental robes.
Afghan women, like Turkish women,
are secluded, but they are consider
ably more adventurous than their
Turkish sisters, hence scandal is not
infrequent even In a land where
man may have as many wives as he
can support.
BY Habibullah's father, Abdur Rah-
man, also were enacted measures of
national defense singularly In keeping
with occidental schemes for conscrip-
ton. He made the boast that he
could throw a hundred thousand men
into action In a week to defend one
of his provinces, and said his entire
domain could raise million fighting
men to defend her soil. Nor did he
stop at the prediction. He worked
out system by which each man in
every eight would alternate in taking
military instruction. One had to be
very young, or very decrepit, to es-
cape the amir's draft, for the service
ages were from sixteen to seventy.
So far as barring private munition
makers Is concerned, Abdur Rahman,
Ions before his death In 1901, might
have subscribed to the principle, dis
cussed during the peace conference at
Paris, for he had his own factories
at his capital, Kabul. There are said
to have been produced a dozen or
more rifles and thousands Of car
tridges a day, and several guns
week.

Version or have constitution such as
was drafted by scholars and statesmen
who revoltcd from medieval govern
mental conditions and founded the
republic.
/ I'VE would doubtless have a crazy
quilt constitution presented which
would follow the fate Of most constitu-
tions in recent times by being rejected
by the people. For instance, New
York recently attempted a new consti-
tuition, which was rejected. The at
tempt resulted in humiliating failure.
In diction, statesmanship and practical
enactments, this constitution In many
respects was absurd. Very properly
It was defeated. For the present we
have our hands full chiefly with the
needs of the immediate future. We
must repeal the vicious laws enacted
during the war. Let these reforms
suffice for the present.
+ For Limited Civil Service
Questioned as to civil service for
county Offices. Senator Penrosc said:
