 Other Troubles of India's People.
 But beside this social evil there are other drawbacks to the people of India today" MT. Pavry said. There is the British Governments lack of interest in our educational problem.
 "Only per cent. of our people are educated. This constitutes one of India's great grievances against Eng land.
 Upon us is put the stigma of be- ing an agricultural nation. In an cient India there were great schools and universities. One hundred years ago after the industrial revolution, Europe progressed to a great extent comm ercially. India, on the other hand, failed to double her industries.

 Regarding the boycott against Brit ish goods in India, and the run1or that women are upsetting the boycott by refusing to wear native products, MT. Pavry emphatically denied it's possibility.
 ''Women of India stand by their men," he declared. ''They never would betray the aims and plans of their partners. Our problems are vital right now.

 This huge, square, French house in Cur0on street, which was built by the W. K. Vanderbilt as a gift for his daughter Consue1o, contains a great marble hall and double gilt stair case. The rooms all run into each other and the whole of one side of the house is taken up by the ballroom which had a wonderful painted ceiling and great crystal chandeliers with the ducal crown and Churchill arms much in evidence.
 The Duchess of Marlborough ob- tained a divorce from the Duke in 1920. In July last, she was married to Lieuteant-Colonel Louis Jacques Ba1san, retired French army officer and a sportsman who served during the war with the French army as liaston officer with the British air forces in France. Before her mar riage to M. Balsan, she had purchased a fine estate at Eze, near Monte Carlo.

 No special picture has established itself as the picture of the exhibition. There has been more talk and more printed about a picture that Is not on show, because the jury refused it, than abOJL any other.
 This re ected work is a portrait Of Miss Maria Ricotti, an actress, one of the five portraits sent in by kees van Dongen, whose portrait of Ana tole France was a striking feature of the last New Salon. Judged by the reproductions in the press, this DOT trait was ruled out as being too nor nal to represent van Dongen. The dress is black and so gives no room for the Dutch painters striking color power, and the eyes seem almost nat ural in size instead of occupying a third of the face as usual with this artist.
 Another picture which the crowd is making sure of seeing is Francis Picalbia's Hot Eyes, which has also hal the distinction of wide reproduc- ton. Two concentric circles with circumferences outlined in color, oc- cupy the upper half of the canvas, a hand is outlined below and small circle with certain mathematical lines are placed between. Various things are written in paint across the canvas, much as lesser artists inscribe sentiments on walls.

The Lincoln Statue.

President Harding's letter to the
House library committee relative to
the restoration to its original site OF
the Lincoln statue should result in
prompt action by Congress. The re-
moval Of this statue, the first erected
in honor of Lincoln after his assassina-
tion. was an act of injustice to the peo-
pie of Washington, who had provided
unaided the funds for its erection
closely following the great tragedy OF
1865. 1t was especially unjust in view
Of the failure to provide for the re-
placement Of the monument on an ade-
quate site elsewhere. The removal of
the statue and it's contemptuous stor-
age without any thought whatever for
its re-erection manifested a disregard
for the noble patriotic sentiment that
had inspired the creation Of this in
itial Lincoln memorial.
Since the removal Of the statue from
its original place in front Of the court
house, which at the time Of the erec-
tion was most appropriate and suit
able, several other locations have been
proposed for it, notably Fort Stevens,
where Lincoln was under fire during
the war. and the Howard University
campus. Certain western cities. mis-
understanding the circumstances OF
the statues origin, asked for the be-
stowal of this strictly local memorial
upon them. No action was taken when
the subject was first under discussion,
and the statue has remained hidden
from view in complete neglect since
then.
restore the statue to it's first site, which
after all is the proper thing. No other
site is so suitable. The statue may
lack somewhat in artistic quality. 1t
may not be such a memorial as would
be erected today. But it was the best
that could be provided at the time. 1t
was an honest, sincere tribute by the
people Of Washington to the man and
the President, Lincoln, whom they
loved. 1t was placed at the center of
the community life.
If all of the memorials of doubtful
art We're removed from Washington
there would be many gaps. Such
iconoclasm, however, is not to be con-
templated. These specimens of early
and often crude art are not to be
judged in terms Of the highest stand,
ards. They are to be measured by the
sentiment and the emotion that in
spired them. And on this scale the
Lincoln Monument for the replacement
of which the President now asks Con.
gress is one Of the most precious of
all of Washington's memorial crea.
tiOns.

Mr.. Bryan's Change of Residence.

A recent report proves to be true.
Mr.. Bryan will cease to be Nebraskan
and become Floridian. The reason
given-Mrs. Bryan's health-justifies
the change.
There will be speculation. however,
about what effect the change will have
on Mr.. Bryan's political fortunes. He
found his political opportunity in the
west, and as a western man he has
run his extraordinary political course.
A Floridian could not have stam-
peded the democratic national conven.
tion Of 1896 into making him a can.
didate for President. 1t would have
appreciated from him such a fiery ap-
peal as Mr.. Bryan made. but the only
thought Of the delegates would have
been. What a pity he does not hail
from western or an eastern state"'
AS Mr.. Bryan hailed from a western
state his appeal swept the convention
off its feet. Nothing stood in the way
Of his nomination. He was not handi-
capped by residence in a section which
practically was under a ban as respect
ed presidential nominees.
Does this change take Mr. Bryan
out Of all further calculations about
the presidency? Many will regret, some
will rejoice. to feel that it does The
idea will be that he will share in the
handicap Of his adopted section. No
more now than in 1896 is the south
the hunting ground Of the political
parties for national leaders.
However this may be. the change
will not take Mr.. Bryan out Of politics.
AS easily could a fish live out Of water.
A born agitator cannot live in a calm.

The Reserve Camps.

Announcement has been made by
the War Department that during the
month Of August an opportunity
Sd Corps area, which includes the Dis
trict Of Columbia, to attend a military
training camp at Camp Meade. The
announcement is made in due course
as phase of the reorganization of the
armed forces of the United States.
Under this scheme of reorganization
those forces are henceforth to be di-
vided into three major categories, the
Regular Army, the National Guard
and the reserve. The August encamp-
ment at Meade will constitute, in con-
junction with other encampments held
simultaneously in other sections of the
country, the first step toward build
ing up the reserve, and by virtue OF
that fact attracts the earnest consid-
Grafton of the community.
Gen. Pershing and those who are
with him responsible for the future
military security of the United States
have stated with emphasis and logic
that the success or failure of the new
plan depends in the final analysis upon
the response of the youth of the ma
tion to the invitation to prepare them
selves to play their part, as units Of
the trained reserve, in such future
emergencies as may confront the ma
tion. 1t is their opinion that. with a
sponse to the announcement of the
initial camps. the country may rest
secure in the assurance of an adequate
army for the future, and that without
such a response the existing plan for
the defense of American institutions
and rights and ideals must collapse.
The judgment of those responsible
for planning the measures necessary
for adequate national defense is, upon
its face, sound and correct. The ma
tion is averse to the maintenance of
large professional army. The regulars
can. therefore. with the militia, furnish
but the framework for the structure
necessary to defend the nation in any
crisis of considerable proportions. The
complete edifice demands the existence
of a great reserve force. the training
>of which shall have been carried for
ward to a point where a brief addi-
tional period will insure its adequacy
1t is to furnish such a reserve that
the training camps to be initiated this
summer are to be held. There are
those skeptics who sincerely believe
that the worst is to happen-that the
youth of the nation will be found
wanting and will not attend. Such
forebodings are based upon an exag-
geration of the degree to which the re-
action from the world war has pro-
gressed. 1t does not take into account
the fact that the upward swing from
that reaction has set in, or that the
patriotism of American boys has never
failed the nation. The necessity for
these camps. under existing world con-
ditions. is manifest; the privilege of
pioneering in the work of making them
a complete success is great. Familiar
with the spirit of the young men of
Washington. The Star is confident that
the number of applicants from the Dis
trict for the training at Meade will
be far greater than the authorities
will be able to accommodate. And the
youth of the National Capital is Of the
same timber as that Of the nation at
large.
