pendence which Georgia lost to the
Rolsheviks In it's heroic struggle Of
1921. That the Soviet regards the
situation as serious is shown by the
fact that it has more than 1000 secret
agents in Tif1is, who repress all ten
dencies at revolution. The recent up
rising of the Mensheviks in the town
of Tchiatouri, where the manganese
ore fields are located, was suppressed
only with much difficulty and blood
shed. Several hundred Georgians
were executed in reprisal for this up
rising.
Always Proud People.
The Georgians, from remotest
times, have been. a proud, defiant,
liberty-loving people, and they would
resent dictation from a European
state quite as much as from the
Bolsheviks. They struggled CALAMITY
for half a, century against conquest
by the czars of Russia and capitu-
lated only in the face of overwhelm-
ing forces. They are conscious of the
great national resources of their
to all foreign tutelage and show no
tendency to absorb Bolshevik doc
trines.
In spite of their defeat by the Boil
sheviks. the Georgians retain all their
old national customs and traditions.

This meeting Of Indian women, be-

places on record its very strong opin-
ion that the disability Of women to

The memorandum of the reforms

sary to recapitulate the arguments
for and against woman franchise in
British India Our contention is that
1t is an anomaly that women may
not be members Of the legislatures

the right to vote. We feel that the
right to vote ought to include the
right to be a member Of the legiS

The princes have retained their old

The manganese ore industry, fruit

are Georgias chief sources of wealth,
have suffered seriously since the ad-
vent of the Communists to power.
The manganese mines are now virtu-

BELGRADE, October 31.-The birth
day Of Prince Peter, heir to tho
throne OF Jugoslavia, was made the
occasion of general holiday, and
special services were held in an
churches. The prince is now one year
old and Serbia is very proud of him
especially as he clearly has the ira
ditional kamgeorge nose.
The celebrations were marked. for
some onlookers somewhat ominouslv
by more than usually jealous dis
play of the troops of the Belgrade
garrisons. The main street to the
cathedral was lined with infantrv.
who were even wearing shell helmets.
and the side streets were full of small
artillery and machine guns.
One explanation may be that the
Davidovitch government with the
block may be anxious to show tlr,
Serbian public that il is still a war
spirited Serbian administration. in
spite of its being formed mainly Of
more peaceable elements-that is, the
Croatian peasant party, the Slovenian

PEkING, October 31.-The Ameri-

an apparently authentic report that
the ministry Of education has issued
instructions to authorities in the prov

I'm recent years there have been
too many private students going to
America" the ministry is alleged to
have said in it's communication to the
provinces. During the last Is months
the number Is equal to 67 per cent of
the total number Of students going
abroad. The reason why most Of the
students go to America is that they
easily obtain admission into American
colleges where they become special
students. In two or three years they
return to China, being considered to
have been graduated.

seems to have had no other effect
than to increase the Georgian peoples
