INDIA AIMING FOR | SELF GOVERNMENT
". M. Hume Describes EVOlu-
 ton and Fight Against Caste

Speaking before Y M. c. A group last evening, Wilson NJ. Hume of Lahore. India. said "Sworaj, ol self-rule was the watch-word oi Gandhi. Now the smallest boy ir | India lisps the word The country is aflame with the idea of self govern. | ment."
 Yesterday noon MT. Hume ad. dressed the directors of the Y. NJ c. A., and invited guests, at the ! Shuttle Meadow club. In the eve. l ming supper was given to the | members of the educational classes and to men from the special physi- cal department groups, with MT | Hume as the speaker.
 In introducing the speaker, Gen. eral Secretary Clarence II. Barnes pointed out the qualifications of the modern missionary. "He is an inter- preter of social and religious move ments,' said MT. Barnes.
 MT. Hume spoke on the subject ''The Challenge of India to Christ 1 ianity." He said, India stands at the crossroads, and must choose which road she must follow in the | future as a nation. Under the leader ship of England, India has received an idea of democracy which she is trying to work out in the problems of practical politics.
 This is difficult in a country where 90 per cent cannot read and write-where there are nine major | religions and numberless sects, and where the caste and social systems | divide the people on horizontal lines. Under such conditions true demo- cracy is impossible.
 India Is asking herself what will help us attain the new democracy?
 Tt Is fair to say that there are three challenges to the young men. First, to attain sworai, or self ex- pression. That was Gandhi's watch word, and the country is aflame with the idea. The average Indian l The Hindus number two hundred and ten million in a total popula- ton of three hundred and twenty million people. They would like to apply self government and have everything their own way. But the Mohammedans demand a share in the government so that their inter ests may be protested.
 "The Y. M. c. A. is trying to show boys and men how to manage their own affairs in camps and Boy Scout troops. Thus the youth of India is being prepared for self government
 There is another challenge. to conquer the curse of the caste sys- tenn. Sixty million people are out casts, making up the 'untouchables.' Personal contact with these people is supposed to pollute.
 This is being overcome In a prac- tical way by combining in the sum- mer camps boys of all casts. outcasts and Europeans. Boys of various re- iiE1 IOllo diC tduSil lO liNC lOSCLHNl III close harmony. They eat, sleep, play and pray together.
 "The third challenge is to achieve unity. During her three thousand years of history India has never been united in spirit. Today the Hindus and Mohammedans are in q religious war. Several hundred peo- pie have been killed during the last eight months in Calcutta.
 "The Y. M. c. A. keeps them liv- ing together peacefully in the dor mitories. The Y holds tho key positions between the two extremes because both sides trust the associa- tion.
 "The Y. M. c. A. in a concrete way is helping to solve the three great problems of India"

 PASTORAL LETTER SOUNDS WARNING

be enforced, and the principles, laws and spirit that are held sacred by the American people,"
 Attack On Church
 The letter charges that the re- strictions are an attempt at "de- struction of the divine institution of the church by reducing her to the status of 6 state controlled schis- matical body. Sad experience as we'll as right reason tells us what would follow the success of such an attempt and what 1t would mean te church as we'll as state"
 The second part of the pastoral takes Up the charges of the Mexican government against the church in Mexico, including those of undue wealth, of neglecting education, of entering politics, of opposing sep aration of church and state. all of which are declared to be without foundation and to have been fab ricated for campaign purposes.
 To meet these charges, the letter declares, the church has only to say:
 Show me one good thing in Mexico I did not give you. Show me one genius for whom was not responsible. Show me one step to- ward the light that did not help you take. Take out of your coun- try all that I put in it, and see what remains.
 You may trust me out, exile my bishops, murder my priests, again steal my schools and desecrate my sanctuaries, but you cannot blot out history, you cannot erase the mark I made on you-not in cen- tury of centuries"

SERIOUS CHARGES
 MADE IN GERMANY
Socialists Claim Govt. 1
 Hoarding Arms

Berlin, Dec. 1e R-Bedlam broke loose in the Reichstag today wher 1 Phillip Scheidemann. head of the social democrats, attacking Defense Minister Gessler, charged that SC. cret fund existed in the budget foI the manufacture and boarding oi arms and airplanes in Russia.
 To this the right parties shouted Traitor, Blackguard,"
 Pointing to the diplomatic box, in which foreign representatives, in- cluding American Ambassador Schurman, were seated. the nation alists cried: Why reveal these things to our enemies?" Then they left the chamber.
 Herr Scheidemann, who was lead ing q socialist attack aimed at the overthrow of the Marx cabinet, re- piled that the allies knew all about the "rotten militaristic conditions in Germany and added: We might as well correct these conditions our selves as have the allies act for us. V Chancellor Marx, replying tc Scheidemann, denied the latter's ac- cusations that government funds were being diverted illegally for militaristic purposes. He declared that the Reichwehr was considered a dependable instrument for safe- guarding the state.
 The chancellor also stated that Scheidemann's charges regarding the hoarding of arms and illegal militaristic organizations referred to conditions of years ago but which were non-eXisting now.
 Chancellor Marx intimated that his cabinet was finished with at- tempt to bring socialists into the coalition government.
 Close followers of the political situation expressed the opinion later that the position of the cabinet now appears more secure. The exportation of war material by Germany was one of the stum- bling blocks to an agreement on the cessation of interallier military control of the Reich, as set up un- der the Versailles treaty. The allied council of ambassadors sitting in Paris, was dissatisfied with the assurances given by Germany regarding such exports and also re- earding the fortification of koenigs' berg and other places on the eastern frontier.
 The foreign ministers of the lead ing powers meeting after !as weeks session of the League of Ma tions council, decided that inter allied control should cease next Jan uary 31, to be succeeded by league investigation of Germanys arma ments whenever that should be con sidered necessary.
 The matter of eXportation Of ar.h! and fortification were left for diplo matic negotiations, primail!! through the ambassadors council If not solved in this manner the! are to be submitted to the league council.

Secretary.
 Dear Sir:@- Il wish to congratulate you on your courageous stand taken in re- gard to "Woolworth' breaking away from the adopted schedule of store closing hours preceding Christi mas. You surely deserve the fullest support of every self-respecting merchant and store-worker of our fair city, in this matter.
 It is of course problematical if your well intended Rap" will have any practical result, because of the fact that your claim That company is the only one locally which is not observing the schedule" etc., is erroneous.
 Unless your knowledge of actual observance of this rule does not ex- tend beyond the Center, you should be aware of the fact that there are stores in this city which proudly dis ply your beautiful c. o. c. sign in their windows md not only do not observe your pre- Christmas sched- ule, but keep their doors open every evening the year round. You should have no difficulty in verifying this statement.
 Therefore Mr. Secretary it soema to me that as long as you are not consistent in such matters, as long as you do not apply the same rule to members or non members, or in plain slang, if you do not keep your own backyard clean, your good faith is open to question, and "Raps" of this kind are an empty gesture that smack of the snowman.
 Wishing you the fullest success in every action you might undertake to make this better city for merchant and storo worker alike, I am
 Very truly yours,

made of the source Of the call and
the interruption to the program was
not quite so long as Is usually the
case when these cries Of distress
come out of the nowhere into the
consciousness of the comfortably
settled loud speaker addicts. The
call provided a thrill the opera did
not seem to have, however, and
possibly because it sends listening
minds to wondering the remainder
of the performance did not register
very clearly.
The evenings program was about
