BY JOHN BLAKE

HvHN writer recently attended a meet
1. ing Of one of the thousands Of
rotary clubs which are scattered all over
the world--even to Japan.
All the talk he heard that evening was
of work for boys. A dozen high school
boys who had won athletic competitions
were guests Of the club. and while they
busily slowed away very good dinner.
one Of the speakers congratulated them
on their success in the competitions. and
said q few words. not enough to bore
them, about doing as well with their
brains at the school books as they did
with their muscles on the track and
Asid.
The speaker Of the evening told Of n
farewell by General Booth to a Saliva
tion Army party which was leaving him
for work in another country.
The old general was too far away
from his hearers to make speech. so
! he merely waved his hands at them and
shouted. "Others! Others
OUCH of the talk at the meeting as
was not of boys was Of doing some
thing for the town--smething for 9TH
ers--always others. II was needing the
admonition of General Booth. though
none of the members had ever heard Of
it before that evening.
1t was because Of this talk that the
writer began TO understand why there
are rotary clubs all over the world. and
why they are all fiourishng and grow
ing:
For their work seems to be work for
cthars-the effort OF strong. successful
and prosperous men TO make others
strong and prosperous and successful.
Such orga MIA tions are bound 10 grow
Every community needs one of them.
and because it needs one. it welcomes
and encourages the one that is formed
there.
Business examinations are almost
necessarily selfish. for the concern

to introduce into the heart Of your
kingdom the principles of anarchy
and confusion, to shake your own
authority. to weaken the obedience
Of your subjects and to destroy
the religion which you revere"
The people OF Mysore are not so
fond of the British as the ma
haraja himself. pretends to be. or
has to be. They feel keenly the
humiliation of the presence Of a
British regiment in Bangatore, the
principal city of the state.
REvOLUTIONISTS ACTIVE.
The modern revolutionary move
ment has found its way into
Mysore, and in spite of strict laws
there was recently a serious revo-
lutionary riot at Bangatore. The
malaria and his ministers arc
taking extraordinary precautions
to crush all outbreaks at the. out
set. The Indian revolutionists,
however. are very active in
Mysore.
Just north Of Mysore Is the
largest Of all the Indian states in
India-Hyderabad. It's ruler is q
Mohammedan. and the vast ma
jority of the people are Hindus.
The Nizam Of Hyderabad rules over
an area of $4,000 square miles (the
area of England proper is only
$4,000 square miles,, with popu.
lation of about 15.0o0,000 The an.
nual income of the state is over
s15.o0O,0 900.
NIZAM DISLIKED.
As during the Sepoy revolution
Of 1857, Hyderabad helped England
intellectually with men and money,
so did the Nizam, though a Ma
hommedan by religion. lend his
money and his men to help Eng
land crush Turkey and humili-
ate the kaliph, the spiritual head
Of the Islamic world. At the be-
ginning Of the last war. in 1871
was rumored that the Nizam was
deposed for his sympathy with
Turkey. and his immense treas
ures in cash and Jewels were con-
fiscated by the British govern
ment.
II may be that this rumor was
responsible for his loyalty TO tho

even while Princess Mary was

Mysore contributed about SO, ooo,-

British with the help of the
heather" cavalry from Mysore;
and the soldiers from Mysore also
isnobly helped the British to
tighten their strangiehold on
Egypt during the war.
MYSORE'S IMPORTANCE.
All through the centuries Mysors
has played an important part in
international politics. During
Frances Egyptian campaign un-
der Napoleon Bonaparte, Tipoo
Sultan was the ruler of Mysore.
He became 30 disgusted with the
supercilious arrogance of the Brit
ish in India that he asked to en-
gage French troops In his army to
fight the British. During his stay
in Egypt Napoleon wrote several
letters to Tipoo Sultan OF Mysore
offering him help to keep the Brit
ish in their proper places.
Lord Wellesley, then the gov.
ernor general Of India, came to
know OF Tipoo's secret alliance
with the French. and thus wrote
to the ruler Of Mysore on Novem-
Der 7. 1877:
"It Is impossible that you should
suppose me to be ignorant of the
intercourse which subsists be-
tween you and the French. You
cannot imagine me Indifferent to
the transactions which have
passed between you and the enc
niles OF my country; nor does It
appear necessary or proper that
I should any longer conceal from
you the surprise and concern with
which perceive you are disposed to
involve yourself in all the ruinous
consequences of connection
which threatens not only to sub
vert thu foundations of friendship

In recent years he has been ex-
ceedingiy reactionary In his ad-
ministration. In repression and
oppression he seems to vie with
the British. AZ a result. he COM
mands neither the respect nor the
confidence Of his fellow country
men.
Quite unlike tn Nizarn of Hy-
derabad. her highness the Begun
Of Brutal Is loved and admired all
over India. She IL the undisputed
ruler Of the state Of Bhupal. BY
religion she is a Mussulman. She

King George. In 1911. she came to
London all covered in her burka.
, She also visited Paris. and the
Sultan Of Turkey, always yelled.
But since then she travels when
ever she desires, without any
ven over her strong and kindly
face. .,
As a memorial to the recent visit
Of the Prince Of Wales to the court
Of Bhupal, her highness the Be-
gum has granted a parliament to
the people ow her state. 1t is re-
mored in responsible circles that
after the Amristar massacre of
1919 and Turkish treaty Of Sevres
the Begun of Bhupal has been
rather friendly to the Indian Ma
tionalists, though her official posi-
tibn precludes her from showing
open sympathy. ,.I.

And on the other hand the British
know that even a. long ago a.

quently. judicial scandal IN the
order Of the day in British India.
The Gaekwar of Baroda has seps-
rated the judicial from the e1ecu-
tive functions.
As in the North American colo
MES before the revolutionary war
of 1776, the British did their best
to crush American industries, even
80 In India they have crushed out
of existence most of midas lucra-
tive industries. But the gaekwar
has been reviving old industries
and introducing new ones in his
state.
INsULTED KING GEORGE.
This progressive ruler became,
for q while, so antagonistic to the
British Raj that he even insulted
King George by turning his back
on the latter at his coronation
durbar at Delhi in 1911.
Maharani Chinnabai (the royal
consort Of the Gaekwar) is an en-
lightened woman of wide study
and travel. She has written q
book on tho position of women in
India. But her progressive ideas
could not keep pace with the
march Of progress in India. This
was proved when her srown-up
daughter. Indira. wanted to marry
the young Prince Jitendra Marc
yam. Of Coochbehar.
Princess Indira's mother object
Cd to this match. But Indira ran
away from home and married tie
Prince Of Coochbehar in London.
Princess Indira Is now the Ma
harani Of Coochbehar. She has
brought about a great many ad-
ministrative changes for the mod
ernization Of this principality.
The Gaekwar Of Baroda was the
first of the Indian princes to nout
British arrogance and make his
state as modern az he possibly
could. But the prince who Is going
ahead of Baroda today is the
Maharaja of Mysore.
MYSORE'S MODERN RULER.
Tho state of Mysore covers an
area of 27.475 square miles and in
cludes a population of 5000, 900.
His highness, the Maharaja Sir
Krishnaraja Wadiyar Bahadur, is
a young man of progressive ideas.
He Is doing more for education
than any other prince of India.
In art. literature. science and
music the state of Mysore is doing
substantial research work. The
Maharaja engages the best of
teachers and directors from all
over the world for the training Of
his subjects. In education. irriga-
ton and sanitation. In building
electrical power houses. and devel-
opment of forest resources, Mysore
is unsurpassed. ....
Every year the Maharaja sends
out dozens of students to all quar-
ters Of the globe to study modern
science and industrial problems.
The phenomenal success Of Ny
sore has made her the eyesore of
the British.
In spite OF all his modern ideas,
this young Maharaja is stu OBJ
noxiously servile to the British
Raj. During his recent visit to
Mysore the Prince OF Wales highly
