BRITISH INDIAN BOYCOTT
OF GOVERNMENT GROWS
Natives Agree Not to Participate
in Coming Elections-Stu-
dents Strike.

NEW YORK, December 9. - The
progress of the boycott movement Of
the native element in India against
the British Indian government is
given in reports from. India reaching
the India information bureau here.
The reports state that since the boy
colt began many natives have re-
signed from offices under the govern
ment: four colleges have closed as q
result of the agitation, with a grow
ing student strike movement through
the country; and an almost complete
boycott is under way of the govern
ment elections scheduled to take place
in a few weeks.
For the first time since the inau-
guration of the boycott the British
Indian government has issued a state
ment of its attitude toward the move
ment according to dispatches just
received by the Indian bureau. The
statement says that no repressive &C
ton will be taken by the government
"for it considers t.Iat such action
should only be employed in the last
resort. when, indeed. failure to adopt
1t would be criminal betrayal of
the people" The government has
refrained from taking action against
those who advocate boycott of the
government schools. the law courts
and the legislative councils. for three
reasons. namely:
Reluctance to interfere with the
liberty of speech and of the press at
time when India is on the eve of
great advance toward the realizat ion
of responsible government.
Reluctance to make martyrs OF in
dividuals. some of whom may be hon
est in their convictions
Trust that the common sense of
India will reject the non-co-operatjon
The bureau states that the native
element CONSTITUTES the statement to
mean that action will be taken to re-
press the boycott on the slightest out
break of violence or anything that
may be construed as such

|SEES EVERYBODY WRONG
ON PRO IN OF OLD AGE
Spanish Scientist Thinks Study of
the Subject Has Been Err
roneously Directed.

MADRID, December 9.-Everybody
hitherto has gone wrong in investi-
eating the problem of old age and de-
cay, because the study of the subject
has started from the wrong end, ac-
cording to Spanish scientist. A. de
Gregorio Rocasolano. He says scien-
lists begun by investigating old age
in man and in the higher organisms,
which might be compared to the study
of mathematics. beginning with the
diferential calculus.
He argued that at present 1t was
possible to study scientifically the ad-
vent of old age. and the conclusion
would be reached that there is no
solution of continuity between inert
matter and live matter. Modern
biological Investigations proved, he
said, that form was not the base
of life. The cells, he declared,
are heterogeneous chemical systems,
which are not the living form, but
live matter. In the same way as the
atom is the smallest possible mass
which can enter into chemical COM
binations. the cell is the smallest pos
sible quantity of live matter that can
be identified. but is itself composed of
living units. He concluded the diff
ference between dead and live matter
is not chemical. but physico- chemical.

Gross Atlantic Cable Service to The Star.
BERLIN. December 9. - Prussian
socialists are vigorous in their op-
position to the recent proposal that
an annuity be settled by the state
upon the house of Hohenzollern.
Leaders of this party are preparing
to ask the" Prussian government to
exert every influence to have enact
ed law providing that the entire
fortune of the Hohenzollerns become
the property of the state without re-
Enumeration to the dynasty beyond
the granting of a very modest PEN
sion to members Of the former impe-
rial family.
The socialists favoring this meas
ure expect strong opposition on the
part of various political parties and
imperialistic factions, but feel GER
tain of sufficient support by the DEM
ocratic parties to insure the passage
Of the bill.

When Sol still smiles In Kind

And cobwebs lie across the

Where larks had nested for

The tinted leaves are flash

The air is still, and all is peace
full,
AS though each pressing du-
ty had been done.
But when the outward view IS
tranquil
A tragedy may hidden be, In
side
Each little leaf, so gently fall
ing,
May be q little cherished
hope that died.

But with God we know you

In your lonely bed we've laid
you,
Dear Geneva, white and cold,
Never more to smile upon us,
Meier to greet us as Of old,
Tho our homes are sad and
lonely,
And our hearts are filled with
pain,
Wen trust in God and he will
bless us;
In heaven We'll meet again.

INCOME TAX RETURNS IN ORDER

With the opening of the NewYear. figuring up income tax returns is once more an uncheerfuI diversion among such of our citizens as have an in- come of sufficient size to put them in the ranks of those who pay that an nual tithe to Uncle Sam. The indus try this year has one compensation. however, in that there is a slight reduction in the amount of the tax The 1920 taxation requires pay ment of 1 per cent on net earnings of $4.0OO or under. as against percent on the same amount last year. Be- yond s4,OOO the 1920 tax is percent.
 Returns from this district are re- quired to be in the hands of the inter- nal revenue collector at Tacoma. Wn.. not later than March 18th to avoid penalties, hence it behooves those who have returns to make to forward their remittances at an early date.
