AN IMPERISHABLE GIFT

When you make a Christmas gift
Of years subscription to The
Youths Companion you think, of
course, of the rst great thrill that
comes when those first holiday issues
are opened and read. But you are
giving more than that. You are CIV
ing the assurance of fifty-two more
thrills before the capacities of the
gift are exhausted. You can't do that
with any gift that is made for i'm
mediate consumption, like candy or
fruit. Today it is here; tomorrow it
is but memory. But The Compan-
ion is imperishable. It's last taste, a
year from now, will be as appetizing
as the first on this coming Christmas

'PlOtters Warned
By Bengal Gov. "a ,.,n..
In Big Crime Wave

Calcutta, Sept. 6 CA. Z. By MaiD-
In proroging the Bengal Legislative
Council, Lord Lytton. the Governor,
voiced a note of anxiety and warn
ing regarding" the recent recrude-
scene of violent crime in Calcutta
and other parts of the province.
These outbreaks are attributed to
the work of secret revolutionary
societies, having as one of their aims
the assassination of government Of
ficials.
THE crimes of violence which
have in the last few months deeply
shocked the public of Calcutta have
been generally assumed to have been
the acts of ordinary criminals. The
latest murder in the post Office at
Sankaritolla and the trial and con-
viction of one of the gang who conf
mitted the murder has revealed to
the public the workings of organized
revolutionary societies of which
Bengal has had such an unhappy
experience in the past. The revival
of a menace, which many will re-
member as hideous nightmare
and which everyone had hoped had
gone forever, has created situation
in which the government will re-
quire, to an exceptional degree, the
SuppOII VI luO puDliC.
THE communicating influence of
these gangs of fanatical idealistS,
who adopt terrorism through robbery
and assassination as their weapon,
is a danger to the younger genera
ton from which no family can feel
altogether immune.
"A week ago the latest victim of
this sinister conspiracy told in the
dock the story of how he was sought
out by those whom he acknowledged
as his leaders and ordered to join
with others in q robbery which led
to the murder of perfectly in
nocent man. 1t is the impressionable
youth of Bengal who are seduced
and sacrificed by this insane organ
ization. | appeal to all those VINO
remember the dark days through
which Bengal passed from 1912 to
1916. to all those who have sons of
their own to protect, to rally 70 the
help us stamp out this disease be-
fore it grows to dimensions which
will make it difficult to cope with.
This is no case of mere political
opposition, of criticism of the gov
eminent, or seditious propaganda.
1t is a conspiracy of dangerous,
fanatical criminals among whom
violence is an acknowledged creed
and terrorism a deliberate policy,
whose agents are trained IN robbery
and murder, whose victims are
selected without motive or dis
cri4nination. and W no constitute a
danger to every household in the
country I have every confidence
that when this is realized the whole
educated opinion of Bengal will de-
mand that vigorous and effective
measures shall be taken to eXter-
inmate the evil"
