WASHINGTON, Dec. with India

means of its non-co-operation move.
ment, with Egypt in turmoil. with the
negroes forming a world association
under Marcus Garvey, with the Jew
lsh Zlonest movement well under way,
and with the Chinese patiently but
stuDnornly asserting their right to DC
let alone. inviting all the other ma
TONS of the earth to go out the open
door and close it after them, this
seems truly to be an epoch of self as
sertion on the part of oppressed peo-
pies.
The dominant nations absorbed in
their own debts and wars, seem hard
ly aware of the widespread and spon-
taneous character of this movement
toward self-assertion on the part Of
the peoples who have worn the yokes
for centuries. Servitude, exploitation,
personal and national prejudice, con
tempt, these peoples have all known
some or all of these expressions Bar
ring the Hebrews, who are a case
unique, they have all been known as
inferior or subjected races.
Now all of them, but especially the
Indians and Chinese, are showing
signs of growing inchoate strength.
They lack organization, unified pur.
pose, and they probably will lack these
things for generations yet But it is
IN these things that they are growing.
And the strength they have is an i'm
mense racial vitality and persistence
While the dominant nations of tho
earth are becoming vast polyglot mobs
IN which the best strains tend to de-
crease while the poorer increase the
Chlnese and the East Indians retain
their racial identity and homogeneity.
They are conquered, owned, and ex-
plotted by alien races; they are carved
INTO spheres of influence and protec-
torates; they are subjected to mas
sacre and famine and oppression: and
yet by tending steadily to the business
es of raising babies and crops, they
have remained distinctive peoples
with distinctive ideals
An Englishman or an American in
these days may be Mediterranean or
a Nordic. He may be of an old indi-
genous family or he may be an immi-
grant of few years only. The streets
or all the principal cities of the great
western nations are streets of Babel
In them swarm vast motley crowds
of men who have nothing in common
except their hunger for food and
money. Melting pots where the in
gradients do not fuse are these great
cities, so that an American or an En-
gllshman may be anything. But when
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-01-05

you say a Chinese or an East Indian,
you know exactly what you mean. The
word summons a picture of a distinc-
tive kind of man. These peoples are
united in aspiration and purpose be-
cause they are uniform in blood and
tradition.
That is one great advantage they
have over the nations which now domi.
nate the earth. When you say Great
Britain you mean a government, and
governments have always been trans
lent and troubled things. But when
you say China or India you mean
people, solid and homogeneous, and
that is thing as real and permanent,
as continent or an ocean.
The reasons why these peoples per-
sist, retain their racial identity and
multiply, while the occidental nations
lose their identity and die out at the
top, seems to be chiefly two In the
first place, they do not go in for war.
and in the second place they have no
talent for industry
War, as has been pointed out a
great many times in the last few years.
really threatens the destruction of
western civilization. The Napoleon:c
wars weakened France enormously
and are said to have reduced the ave-
rage height of Frenchmen several
inches. The Franco-Prussian war was
further blow. France has not, in any
line of human endeavor, reached the
greatness she had before those wars.
The Civil war in its effect on our
own south is one of the most striking
examples of the results of prolonged
conflict. But all of these wars were
minor affairs compared to the one Just
passed. We know that it killed ten
million good young men: that it Grip

deavor, and that it left them all in .
backwash of reaction by destroying
the young blood which is the only
possible source of progress; but its
full effects are yet to be seen. Further
more, these nations are now steadily

moving toward another war, and one

structivve than the last. What will

next world war?
steadily refuse to impair their racial
vitality by killing each other. The
Chinese. for example, simply will not
fight. They are supposed to be carry
ing on civil war now. but it is sc
mild that few men are killed in IL,
while communications and businesses
are not interfered with. During the
World war these Chinese were used as
laborers, but it was found impossible
to make combat troops out of them.
The Chinese in some respects, show
great courage. but the murder of their
fellow humans is simply a business
for which they have no stomach.
Among the East Indians there is
more of war-like tradition, but the
present homeopathic movement OF
Gandhi has for it's basis that force
must not be used, that the enemys
blood must not be spilled. The in
vader must be expelled by simply re
fusing to obey any of his commands
or to cooperate in his undertakings.
In addition to escaping the scourge
of war, these oppressed peoples have
held aloof from the industrial system.
In China there is said to be strong
feeling against its introduction, and
in favor of building up the Chinese
civilization on its own ancient founda-
lions, so to speak The Gandhi move
ment in India is also to some extent
a revolt against the industrial system.
For example, the people are urged
not to buy factory-made clothing but
to return to the making of their native
fabrics by hand
There can be little doubt but that
the industrial system, as at present
constituted, is like war, source OF
race weakness to the dominant ma
tons. 1t has improved greatly in
the past so years, and it may yet be
made 4 sound basis for civilized de-
velopment, but at the present moment,
as anyone may see for himself, it is
in badly disorganized state. In the
first place, it has produced a class
consciousness which results in an
ever-growing social unrest, with i1u-

Camp Devens, Mass, last June, the pro
gram was entirely devoted to infantry
work The physical condition Of the men
was excellent and all agree they were
well taken care Of. At the inspections of
quarters Battery B had very high rat
ing. Several parades and reviews were
held, including one in honor of Governor
Lake. Regular army officers commenting
on the appearance of the Connecticut ar
tillery regiment, stated that their march
ing was in many respects superior to that
of regular army infantrymen stationed at
the camp.
The last four days Of the encanpTnent
were spent on the range in pistol and
rifle practice. A number Of the men had
never handled either weapon before, but
made good scores, and some qualified az
narksmen.
After the strenuous duties Of the day
the men relaxed in sports, engaging in
baseball, defeating New London Head
quarters company and other teams, and
minor sports. A track meet was held one
Saturday afternoon with over 1900 Con.

being abandoned) and was assigned to
garrison duties. From time to time men
were detached and sent to France or
other stations. In December 1917 the
56th artillery was formed. This regi-
ment took about half of the Connecticut
officers and men that were present.
Major Payne NOV colonel of the 1920
was made commanding officer of the
third battalion of the 56th and remained
as such during the duration of the SER
vice of the regiment in France. He COM
manded the entire regiment from the
time it left France until it was mus
tered out at Fort Schuyler in January
and February 1919.
Subsequently the 6sth regiment, c. A.
c., was formed at Forts Wright and
Terry and q large number of the Connec-
ticut officers and men were assigned to
duty with this regiment.
The 56th Artillery served 40 days on
the western front. participating in three
major enga gements and in a defensive
sector. The first death casualty was that
OF Sergeant Major Robert o. Fletcher Of
Major Paynes battalion. Sergeant Ma
ior Fletcher. who was a Norwich young
man, was killed as a result of being
struck by shell fragment at Cherry
ChdftfeuNe drrne on the night or Aug
Is, 1918. The total casualties OF the
regiment were twenty-four killed and
about three hundrea wounded.
The 6sth regiment was stationed near
Bordeaux during the war and saw no
active service.
The 56th regiment was equipped with
the same type of gun as has been as
signed to the 1920. the 1876 MN. G. P. F.
