It provided for an issue Of three
billion dollars of greenbacks. to
be USED as a revolving fund TO

scheme with stern disapproval.

H. it is known that this ruler,
with private yearly income of
S4,5OO,OOO, does do Arabian Nights
things. On one of his trips to
London, accompanied by the Ma
haranee, one of his children and
a rctinue Of servants, his luggage
alone consisted Of 300 trunks, all
sealed with the elephant of his
coat of arms.
In the hotel he had a special
kitchen of his own where his two
native chefs worked all day pre-
pairing, according to very ancient
recipes, the curries their master
loves so we'll. And they require
30 solid silver vessels in which to
cook these dishes.
When he chooses to doll him

where in the world who can equal,
much less beat him. His jewels
represent not one, but several for
tunes.
A five million dollar piece is a
string of huge pearls with a mar

else connected with India, there
is a lovely legend attached to these

past, one of the Maharajah's an

traveller who, though in tattered

MA Service stan Writer.


CIR BHUPINDAR SINGH,
Maharajah of Patiala,
premier prince among the
warlike Sikhs and ruler of
the greatest native state in
the Punjab section Of India,
looks like a prince out of
the pages of the Arabian
Nights-has all the wealth
Of one, spends like one, en-
joys himself like one, be-
decks himself with priceless
Jewels like one.
And yet he objects to the tag
ot being a high liver.
That gorgeous display is only
one side Of him-show put on for
his people and for his station. In
mis- quiet hours he is a serious
reader of philosophic and scien-
tific works. In his tastes, he runs
rather TO good sports like cricket
and hunting. In his job as ruler
Of a state, he has shown himself
a wise statesman. giving mis- coun-
try one Of the best governments
in India.
The Maharajah succeeded his
father to the throne in 1900 when
he was only 9 years old. He took
over active rule when he was l9
in 1910. The slender, dark-eyed
boy has grown into the magnifi-
cent specimen of Oriental man
hood. so well known in India and
England today. He is every incn
a Sikh-six feet tall, broad of
shoulder, with coal-black beard
and fierce military upturned mus
tache.

Il Il don. both for pleasure trips
and for matters Of craftsmanship,
more than any other Indian
prince.
Some 10 years ago, when he Wis
tied the English metropolis, the
papers said he took the whole mil
lionaire's floor of a luxury hotel;
that he had installed a special
solid silver bath; that he had his
own special elevator all done up
in gorgeous scarlet and gold lac
uuer: and that every day, to
adorr his 100 rooms and make
them sweet with perfume. he had
placed an order for 5000 cut
roses.
Now Patials is quite capable Of
it and the expense would hardly
make dent in his capacious
pocketbook, but he does not like
that kind of story.
Things like that are telegraphed
back to the native Indian papers

JEWELS are inherited things,
j but the Maharajah's private
passions are hunting, cricket and
dogs. And here he has spent like
a prince. In 1881 he had built
for him in England a luxury
coach to be used on his hunting
trips. 1t was to be his travelling
home. Its fittings included win
down glass which enabled him to
see out, but prevented people
looking in. The coach was fitted
with chromium plated tables and
chairs, silver wash-bowls, silver
cutlery, the finest of English
china and, as important as any
thing-search lights of 225,000
candle power.
His favorite game is cricket, al
though he is now getting bit too
old and too stout to indulge in it.
But back in 1911 he gave England
something to talk about. He or
ganized and captained an all
Indian cricket team made up Of
the best players in that country.
At his own expense he brought
the team to England and played
the oxford University men. When
the Maharajah came to bat, he
presented a vision unfamiliar to
the university fans. Dressed in
spotleSs white with a white tur-
ban, he wore beautiful gold and
pearl earrings and had gorgeous
golden bracelets on his wrists, but
he also played a nifty game for
his side.

as fine as money can buy, speck-
leSsly clean, with tiled walls, Spe-
cial baths, electric lights and an
operating theater which is said to
excel in equipment many of the
British military hospitals in India.
He thinks nothing of paying $500
for a dog he wants. A famous
authority of India says that once
the Maharajah bought very fine
dog from an Englishman for $1,000.
The man wept upon parting with
his favorite animal Whereupon
the Prince handed him another
$3.50 to help console him.

NTUSSOLINI probably reminded
Iva Capt. Eden that at the Paris
peace conference Britain and
France did not live up to their
secret promises of territorial COM
pensation, either in Europe or
Africa, and to argue that no better
time than now could be found to
remedy the inequity.
Moreover, II Duce probably con-
tinued, Italy's Abyssinian venture
was virtually at Britain's behest
in the first place. In 1870, Italy
had only a tiny foothold on the
Red Sea-a coaling station owned
by one of her subjects. From that
small beginning, she branched
out at the cost Of blood and
money, partly to help Britain's
scheme to forestall France in that
region of the dark continent.
More than As years ago, Britain
openly encouraged Italy to move
in and consolidate the "protec-
torate" which Rome then claimed
over Abyssinia-a move which
five years later ended at Adowa,
one of the most humiliating mill
tary defeats a European nation
ever suffered.
DOTH Britain and France, since
- the World War, have permit
ted Italy to enlarge her small
slices Of East Africa. France, par
ticularly since the rise of Hitler,
has revised her African boun-
diaries to Italy's advantage.
Now it is Britains turn to make
concessions. Italy wants those
African compensations, SO long
promised, but never quite forth
coming to her satisfaction.
Reports received here indicate
Capt. Eden has offered Mussolini
a compromise. 1t is said he has
offered to help obtain railway and
territorial concessions for Italy at
Abyssinia'S expense, and perhaps
even q protectorate.
Washington, meanwhile, is pre-
pairing to watch the situation
more closely. George G. Hanson,
formerly consul general at Hardin
and subsequently in Moscow, has
been ordered to sail from New
York on the President Harding
tomorrow for Adds Ababa, the
Ethiopian capital.
Mr.. Hanson, one Of the State
Department star men, had been
scheduled to sail later. The silva
ton became so menacing that mis-
schedule was moved up lest the
single railway between the sea
and Emperor Halle Selassie's cap
ital be cut before he could arrive.
