BATTLING OVER INDIA GANDHI, HINDU LEADER, A MAP OF INDIA ‘SHOWING AHMADABAD, GANDHI’S : HOME, AND*(BELOW) LORD READING, VICEROY OF INDIA. GANDHI LEADS MILLIONS Dynamite and Sends Read- ing To Face Him By Newspaper Enterprite. London, Aug. 17.—The British gov- ernment is trying to placate and re- { tain India, as well as Ireland. The principal. obstacle in the path ot Lord Reading,. the new viceroy of | India, is. Mohandas Karamchand Gand- hi, most famous of all Hindu leaders. ‘Gandhi is head of the cult that bears his name, and is leading the fight’ to”gain“home rule in India by] boycotting the British and their goods. It was Lord Reading’s reputation as @ great diplomat that ‘led to the one- time British ambassador to the United States being selected to go to India as viceroy last spring: Gandhism was fast gaining ground. -Lord Reading's job, bluntly, was to: “save India for England.” | ae “* Leads 318,000,600. t And what of Gandhi; the “holy man”, who exerts ‘such influence over India’s 313,000,000 people? “What ‘manner of man {s:‘he? - i ee ‘Gandhi was born 51 years ago, his faher’ being chief minister of the state of ‘Porbandar for 26 years.

The reason “Big Game” will be en- joyed’ by everybody without excep- tion'is that its appeal is so universal, the ‘story of a man’s tight to convince himself that he js no coward, and to save the’ woman he loves. May Alli- son has the part of Eleanor Winthrop, the charming wife of “Larry” Win- throp, heir to’the millions of the old Boston Winthrops. She believes Lar- ry the essence of all things manly, but during an adventure in the North- ern Canadian woods, to find hidden gold, her conviction totters when she finds him afraid of Henri Baptiste, a Canadian-French guide. Baptiste is‘bent on winning Eleanor by force, and the transformation of Larry from a weakling to an infuriated vengeful primitive is one of the fine achieve- ments of the picture. The supporting cast includes For- rest. Stanley, Edward Cecil, Zeffie Tillbury, William Elmer and Sidney D'Albrook. Edward T. Lowe, Jr., did the adaptation, Dallas Fitzgerald dir- ‘ected, and‘ Jackson Rose photographed. Sidney Ullman is responsible for the art designs and execution. MUSIC MORE DEMOCRATIC Minneapolis, Aug. 17.—Musie has ‘been.democratized in the public schools here .with the result that 1,500 pupils have beem’.taught to play the violin and ‘piano! at: a practically negligible cost... When the full term starts, it fs planned to enlist still more stu- dents in-the study, according to T. P. Giddings, supervisor of music in the public schools, Although no violinists a la Kreisler or Elman have been discovered and no second Rachmaninoff found, the music students, who range from 7 to 14 years, are. mastering the initial rudimentg of the ‘nstruments, For ‘each’ lesson, a charge of lu cents is made. Classes are organized where 16 or. more children can get together and instruction in the violin and plano’ is given the group at the same time. When the term ended for the sum- mer, vacation, 500 pupils were at- tempting ‘{o master the violin, while 100. Prospective piano players were ob- taining” their elementary practice. In jaddition, stressing of music in the public schools has been responsi- ble for the formation of 45 school or- chestras,.any of which can give good account .of their musical instruction. So much interest is displayed in these latter organizations, that keen com- petition exists for places in the or- chestra, according to Miss Ruth An-' deraon, who is directing the orchestra work. > HER FORTUNE | toward the-British,-halting his activi- ties duting the Boer war and organ: izing a‘hospital corps which he offer- ed with*his own services: to’ the Brit- ish. He was decorated’ for ‘his .work; both inthe Boer War and later in the World War, where he also performed hospital service. s Finally, broken :in* health®by,-im- prisonment, Gandhi returned.to India There he conceived the grandiloquent idea of a country-wide non-violent ‘re- volt against the British. No Hindu would use British goods, work for British employers or take recourse to the British courts. Thus British rate would become impossible, the British mative army would melt, and England would finally be glad :to leave-India to its own resources. That was Gandhi's dream, = , Spreads Doctrine.
