VIOLENT police methods. But it is sufi-
GENTLY difficult for police to practice

The 10,000-ton German cruiser Ersatz
PreuSsen, popularity known as "the
mystery ship" Is causing much futter-
ing in naval dovecotes all over the
planet as official details emerge and
rumors multiply concerning her. The
following Is extracted from the Bulletin
of Engineering Information, issued by
the engineering bureau of our navy:
Protection is very complete.
THE main armament consists of six
11-inch guns in triple turrets, with
mountingS permitting a high angle of
elevation; eight 59-inch guns behind
shields, four 8.4-inch anti-aircraft guns
and six 197-inch torpedo tubes. The
big guns are reported TO have a loading
gear of new pattern which enables a
very rapid rate Of fire to be maintained.
Their utmost range Is 80, 600 yards.
She Is to be driven by internal COM
bustion engines, the maximum speed to
be 26 knots. They appear to represent
great advance in existing internal
combustion practice.
The ErSatZ PreuSSen Is to carry Suffi-
cient fuel for a continuous voyage of
10000 miles, at speed OF 20 knots.
Were not these figures vouched for by
the German admiralty, they would be
almost increditable. 1t need hardly be
said that no vessel now afloat, whether
man-of-war or liner, is able to steam
anything like that distance at the
speed stated. What the extreme radius
OF the ErSatZ PreusSen may be at
economical speed can only be con-
tectured. but it may be as much as
$4,000 miles.
THE appearance Of these vessels may
have far-reaching reactions on the
international naval situation, for they
will introduce a factor that was not
contemplated when the Washington

India are looking forward to that day

profits on motor bus lines between the

! resource nearer the surface-hidden
money.
Ever since the West has had any,
thing to do with India this hidden
money has been puzzle. India is the
great sink where coins from all over the
world disappear. 1t has made the des-
pair of treasury officials and tax COL
lectorS who have had practically nothing
on which to tax the Indian. The poor
! farmer in India, and most of the people
are poor farmers, is probably the most
abStemiouS man who ever lived. He
wears one simple cotton cloth tied
around himself, his wife another, his
children nothing. He has one meal a
day and would charge his wife with
Wastefulness If he had any more.
He lives off his little patch of land,
! sleeps in the rudeSt of Shacks and
could walk off with all his personal
property on his back. He has no In
come, he wants nothing for his com
fort.
The American is q taxable person:
the Indian is not. That is why the
salt tax is in force in India. It is
one of the few ways in which the peo-
Pile can be forced to contribute to the
government. The Indian does not care
to be governed. In fact, he prob
ably would find the feudal times of
$50 years ago with all their bloodshed
and uncertainty preferable to the bore
dom of law and order which give his
| tropical imagination nothing to work
on.

recently prepared to complete the more
or less emergency reconstruction meas
ures rushed through following the big
earthquake in 1923. The total cost is
estimated at $9.700000. Paving OF
streets in Toxic has always been a
great problem. especially because most
of them were so narrow that before
laying down a Arm surface 1t was neces-
sary to set back houses several feet
on each side. So the way in which
the earthquake swept away block after
block was a great blessing. Most OF the
roads and avenues laid out since the
arthquake have been wide. Main thor
oughfareS included in the new scheme
will be covered with asphalt If they
are SO feet or more in width. with con-
crete sidewalks. Narrower streets will
be given macadam surfaces. Most OF
the paving will be done in thickly pop
ulated centerS where business has not
taken with it the usual Improvements

Blazing Cat Sets
Fire to 400 Houses

A whole village in Bengal Province,
India, consisting of over 400 cottages.
was recently burned down by a cat.
Because the cat had stolen her week S
supply of cream, an old woman tied
jute to its tail and lit the inflammable
appendage. Leaping away in agony the
cat jumped to a matched roof, pauSing
long enough to start a blaze. Then it
hoped to adjacent roofs, igniting them
in turn and, further frightened by the
roar of the flames, fastened on its in
cendiary work throughout the locality.
Within a quarter of an hour the whole
village was reduced to ashes, fortunately
without loss of life. The village granary
was destroyed at loss of several thou
sand rupees Ca repee is equivalent TO
3612 cents. The inhabitants have

We all know the influence which the
automobile has had on American life,
how it has shortened distances, broken
down local barriers and enlarged the
spheres of community life. If it once
got a good start in India, the place of
all places where there is no national
spirit, where there is the greatest di-
verSity of race and language and where
there are huge distances to be bridged,
if tn automobile really got hold here,
might not the effect be overwhelming?
Is a Land Of Many Tongues.
When I attended a session of the
indian Legislature in Delhi met Rep
reSentative from Madras, the large
South Indian city, who could not even
make himself understood to the native
walters in the dining room. He could
not communicate with many of his ma
tive colleagues except in English. When
he goes back to Madras at the close of
the session, he said in all seriousness:
Il am going back to India" The cap
ital of India apparently conveys no idea
of India to him.
To use another example: Scientists
tell us that there is more racial differ
ence between the Indian of the Puniab
and the Indian of the south than there
is between an Englishman and a Moor
of Northern Africa. Neither of these
men thinks of himself as an Indian.
He says: II am a Punjabi' or Il am a
Dravidian." If the Puniabi could drive
down to Southern India or go down
there by bus lines would it not change
his horizon?
Some persons dismiss the prospect of
selling many automobiles In India as
visionary, but that view cannot be
proved. According to business men
with many years of Indian experience.

country whose surface hasn't even been
