nomadie Indian this is a grievous thing.
Even religious observances are af-
fected. a most serious matter. The
sravity of the situation from the In
dams standpoint may be illustrated by
referring to the cost Of ordinary cotton
cloth which at one time got beyond the
means OF the masses. The Mohammedan
religion requires that the dead shall be
buried In unused shrouds. This Is one
OF the cardinal rules, the observance OF
which, to the members OF this religion.
of whom there are nearly 70,00O.000 in
India, is all important.
With the price of cotton cloth beyond
his reach the lower class Mohammedan
was compelled to bury his dead in or
dinary clothing which had been worn.
To the living this seems to be the limit
of sacrilege. and they are terrified OF
the hereafter. If this appear like a
trivial matter to the Western mind one
has only to recall that one of the causes
Of the great mutiny in Indian in 1858
was that Indian soldiers were compelled
10 bite off the end of paper cartridge
which had been dipped in the fat Of
cows and pigs The COW is a sacred
animal in the Hindu religion and may
not be eaten. while the pig is anathema
to the Mohammedan.
SO far as the political agitation is
concerned, those who know India well
state that much depends on the work
ing of the new Montagu bill which
sives the natives more say in the af-
fairs of government and which be
comes effective next year. 1t is said

although it has some strenuous oppo-
rents among the extremists. who claim
that II does not go far enough. Should
the measure fail to work out as has
been anticipated by the Government the
consequences may be serious. but It is
said to be recognized by moderate opin-
ION as a true step in the direction OF
self-government for India.

HAMBURG, Dec. 26.-Germany lot
eign trade relations, which in 1919 gave
some promise of gradual and substantial
Improvement, suffered disastrously dur
ing 1920, the Hamburg Chamber OF
Commerce says In the annual report
which is to be published tomorrow.
Without revision OF the Versailles
treaty, the report considers 1t will be I'M
possible for Germany to arrive at her
normal economic and political condi-
ton.
"Thero are some signs of the begin
ming of g. better state of conditions in
the apparent increased inclination TO
work and the desire for better product
tive results adds the report There Is
"a further movement toward improve
ment of German economical conditions
in the overstocking of foreign markets
with food and rawstuffs."
The report advises against accept
ance of foreign credits by the Germans
unless the stipulations for paying back
the loans are clearly prepared

American countries is reported to be

of official control of foreign trade Is
condemned by the chamber as RESPONSE
BILE for part of the slump in German busi-
ness in that country, which, ii says, has
been taken over largely by the United
States
The effect OF the American blacklist
on German goods Is seen in the neutral
countries of South America, where, ac-
cording to the report. German firms are
finding it almost impossible to resume
business German prices, which are de-
scribed as too high, are declared TO have
adversely affected trade, particularly in
Colombia, where most buyers who con-
tracted with German firms cancelled
their orders in favor OF the Americans.
The Germans had filled large orders in
Colombia, but it is now reported that
German business there has been COM
pletely shut down.
Trade with Guatemala also has suf-
fered severely. In Venezuela American.
English and Dutch influence is said to
have grown greatly.
Rather active business has been
opened with Ecuador and Peru, but there
is little commerce with Chile. Here

Chinese Have Had Great Military
Past, But Have Not Fostered
the Fighting Spirit.

Writing OF the romance of military
insignia, Col. Robert Il. Wyllie doubt
less surprised some of his readers in
the National Geographic Magazine
when he informed them that the first
military medal was probably awarded
by Chinese emperor, some 1900
years ago. The statement falls pat
with an article by Mr.. L. l.. Leo, a
Chinese student of the history of his
own country, published in Asia maya
cine, in which Mr. Leo looks back to
Chinese military practice, in the early
centuries of the Christian era, and
shows how the treatise on the tArt of
War;" written by the ancient Chinese
military leader, Sun WI, correspond
ed to the maxlms of Frederick the
Great, which were In turn expressed
by Won Hindenburg. The military past
of China is nowadays very generally
overlooked. and the explanation adj
vanced by Mr. Leo is interesting at
this period. The Chinese, he says.
