England's Work in India.

~ lne rSullbE. Inc "htuluNtOu hefal0.
In a letter of Robert Conroy that
recently appeared in the Open
Court, he denounced English rule in
India and declared that one of the
shocking conditions Hereunder was
failure to provide the people with
proper means of educating them
selves.
Acknowledged authorities. such
as historians state that England
has endeavored to educate the ma
tives and has established schools
and colleges for both rich and poor.
Moreover, England has attempted
to educate the girls of India, but
in view of the native prejudice
against the mental development OF
women, IL is q difficult feat.
England has endesvored to de-
velop the manifold resources of
India. She has constructed bridges,
canals, reservoirs, telegraph lines
and railways. She has tried to pro-
tect from disease a population op-
posed to sanitary laws. although
living in a climate favorable to the
prevalence of epidemics.
"Perfidious Albion" has intro
duced into India European civiliZa-
ton, which has undermined many of
the old superstitions and Gus
tums, particularly the ancient sys-
TEN of caste. She has prohibited
observances to which the natives
attached great religious signifi-
canoe. In fact, much Of the misery
in India has been owing to certain
religious superstitions, customs
and observances. England has for
hidden the Offering Of human sacri-
fees to the gods. She has abolished
the rite of suttee-the burning alive
Of a woman on the funeral pyre OF
her husband. She has endeavored
to stop the slaughter of female in
fants and made infsnticide a crime.
An act has been passed which re-
moves legal obstacles to the mar
rage of Hindu widows. The mar
rage of girls of and 9 years Of
age TO men has been prohibited.
England has also endeavored to
make 1t possible for native women,
when ill, to be attended by a physi-
clan of their own sex. Owing to a
peculiar masculine belief in India.
millions of women in that country
have suffered and ried because 1t
was considered improper for them
to be attended by male physicians.
1t was chiefly to the efforts Of an
English woman that the women Of
India finally received medical aid.

Just when the industries Of the

planned the necessity OF the passage

own sex. Nine out of ten women
would have Mrs. Kaber electrocuted.

She Shuns Notoriety.
In dress, Mrs. Kaber and Mrs. Cora
Berg, the LADY juror who may be

Berg, a young and pretty woman,
made her debut into the jury box in a
lovely charmeuse frock with a string
of pearls around her neck.
Mrs. Kaber's dark blue costume

designed either to render her incon-
Sp1cuouS or to offset the claim that
she will attempt to secure her free
dom thru sex appeal. With her black
hair and olive complexion, she might
be taken for a woman of Spanish ex-
traction. The blue of her dress gives
an almost sallow appearance to her
face with it's paIlor.
Unlike most women defendants in
murder cases, she appears to shun

The constitutionality of woman

Ten Billion Was Loaned to
Allies, Says Mellon.
TO COLLECT WOULD Be HARD
Secretary of Treasury and Sen.
Penrose in Conference.
Collection Would Endanger Our
Markets in Europe.

Washington, June 29.-The admin
istration is convinced that it probably
would be financially and economi-
cally disastrous for the United States
if it were to insist upon immediate
payment of even part of the $11.O0O,-
100000 debt long overdue this coun-
try from its associates in the world
war.
This was disclosed today after a
conference between Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Senator Penrose,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, following MELONS appearance
before the committee to urge that con-
gress give the administration blanket
authority to handle the foreign loans.
The administration believes there
would be grave risk of destroying
the European market for American
products by further impairing the
value of foreign exchange and by the
consequent disability of European ma
tons to buy American products essen
tial to their rehabilitation, If they were
forced to part with the comparatively
little gold they have left.
Owe Nearly Billion Interest.
Foreign governments owe the
United States nearly a billion dollars
in interest alone entirely aside from
the principal debt of nearly ten bill
lions.
This was disclosed today by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon and AS
sistant Secretary Wadsworth when
they appeared before senate finance
committee in support of the admins
tration's bill to give the treasury head
blanket authority to deal with out
standing foreign obligations.
The exact amount of interest due
and unsolicited was as much as $922,-
55o,143.22 on May Is, Wadsworth
said.
The great bulk of the national debt
is represented by liberty and victory
bonds of which there are outstanding
$19, 34S, 464,750. The balance is scat
tered among Panama canal bonds, GER
tificates of Indebtedness, war savings
stamps and miscellaneous bonds.

During the past two years 3S5 new

the history Of the state was held in
independence. Last fall every district
was fully organized and all held con-

The Kansas Union won the prize of
s125 for being second to reach its
quota of subscriptions to the Christian
Endeavor World, and $3.50 in bonuses
for securing 500 over the quota. More
literature regarding the movement was
sold in Kansas than in any other state,
a total of $3.50 worth. During the
year $1,000 was raised for world wide
extension work. The quota of regis
