BOLSHEVISTS SEEK REPUBLIC IN INDIA Organized and Armed Agita- tion for-Interna! Strife Disclosed in Papers. iy Cable to The Star and LONDON, July 24—That the Rus- slan Bolshevists are vigorously pro- paganding for the establishment of a $Federated Republic of the United Sm.tes of India” by “an organized and armed revolution,” is disclosed in offictal documents published by~ the government of Bengal. The knowledge of this, which of ‘course, has been communicated to the India office in Whitehall, doubt- less influenced the speeches of For- eign Secretary Sir Austen Chamber- lain_and Indian Secretary the Earl of Birkenhead when they stated, apropos the alleged Russian trade miners’ strike funds, that Soviet Rus- sia was wilfully ignoring treaty obli- gations as regards undertakings not to propagate Soviet doctrine in India and other part of the British: Empire. India long has been @& sphere of Russian intrigue, whether Czarist or Leninist, but the Czarists “played the game,” according to British ideas, in that they sought to gain control over only the mountain passes leading to India by subsidizing Afghans, Balu- chis or anybody else who wanted to start trouble on India’s fromtiers. The Soviet government frankly is agitating for an {nternal upheaval which will obviate the necessity of sending a Russian army to seize the passes and_eventually copquer India. Such Is the information obtained by the British officlals in India and at home, and it is signficant that the Earl of Lytton, Governor of Bengal, now i¢ in England and is in close coy- sultation with Lord Birkenhead. Al Viscount Willingdon, a former Indian governor, has been very assidtious in his Downing street calls—not entirely connected with his recently announced appointment to the Governor General- ship of Canada. Marquis of Reading In Conclave. The Marquis of Reading, who re- cently terminated his tenure of office as Viceroy of India, is a regular visi- tor at the Indja Office nowadays, and —perhaps most signficant of all—Sir Charles Tregar, head of the Calcutta police, conveniently happens to be “‘on l»ave' and he seems to be spending a “busman’s holiday” in consultation ;\‘hh Scotland Yard and the India Of- ce. The Indian Government officlals have sent important documents to London regarding the Bolshevist cam- paign in India, and while the authori- tles in Britain’s great Eastern “de- pendency” seem to, or at any rate, clalm to, have the matter “well in hand” it is clear that something will have to be done about Moscow's ac- Uvities. % The “Review of Bengal in 1924- 192| published by the Bengal gov- ernment, states that the whole of 1925 was spent in scotching the ac- tivities of the revolutionary propa- gandists, which included among other things, two murders, two attempts at murder, establishment of a bomb fac- tory, issue of inflamatory leaflets an- nouncing a campaign of ruthless as- sassinations of police officers and the condemning to immediate death of all whotln any way helped the govern- ment. Student Deeds Praised. Pamphlets setttag out in laudatory terms the deeds of students in the movement for freedom in Russia, and calling upon the young men of Ben- #£al to do likewise, were distributed broadcast and that the conspiracy had & widespread organization was shown by the extensive method of distribu- tion of a pamphlet containing a direct fncitement to revolution for the purpose of estatlishing the Republic of Indla. Perhaps more dangerous were the attempts to organize illicit traffic in arms. A consignment of German bayonets, disguise, as ‘“woodeutting imple- ments,” and two cargoes of arms and ammunition sources were intercepted, and Irrefutable proofs of the existence of a highly organized, well-armed, well-financed conspiracy, against which all attempts to set the ma- chinery of the ordinary law in motion had falled, are in the hands of the Indfan authorities. Revolutionaries Now Bolder. < Since the death of thé great Swara- dist (“Home Rule") leader, C. R. Das, the revolutionaries have been getting bolder. Das would have nothing to o with armed revolution, but he managed to quiet the revolutionaries by promises that the Swarajist move- ment would be able to show tangible proofs of their achievements within a short time. This the Swaraj group has signally failed to do—in the eyes of the extremists—anrd at the last political conference, held in May, the “Home Rulers” were given plainly to understand the revolutionaries would not . continue to accept Swarajist leadership. The situation has been further com- plicated by the Hindu-Moslem ten- slon, which has prevented the mod- erates on both sides from controlling their adherents. The revolutionaries dre mainly Hindus, and the moderates among the Hindu community feel they will suffer because of the ex- treme element which they are unable to_control. Religlous feeling between Hindus and Moslems always is tense in India, PR SRR SR [ T i e e 710 12th St. N. W. Am Berlin May 'Turn Many City Halls | Into Apartments By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 24.—The 21 bur-, gomasters who rule Berlin, a city of 4,000,000 souls, from 21 separate city halls, at salaries of $6,000 a vear, are getting panicky. Lord Mayor Gustav Boehs, who gets $8,500, threatens to pluck most of these lucrative mayoralty plums from the municipal tree and turn about 15 of the million-dollar city halls into apartment houses to re- lieve the hodsing shortage. The entire city, the lord mayor says, i3 overstaffed. Salaries alone run up to $27,000,000 a year, or 18 per cent of the total expenditures. Each of the 21 boroughs of which Greater Berlin is composed. has its own government and sends repre- sentatives to the Greater Berlin Parliament of 100 members. Each member draws about half the sal- ary of an American Congressman. There are officials enough, the lord faayor believes, to run a city four times the size of New York, which has five boroughs. and there is really very little chance of getting the two creeds together on a political platform, so that, with the extremists-—backed by Moscow prop- aganda which is indifferent to the religious creeds of both sections—' continually stirring trouble among all sections of the native community, the authorities have a stiff job. Mod- erates on both sides feel helpless when it comes to restraining their respec- tive extremists. The “hotchpotch” nature of Bolshe- vist propaganda probably has never been better instanced than in Indla, for both Hindu and Moslem revolu- tionaries have little in common with their “tutors” in Moscow. The Hindu revolutionary, and the Moslem revo- lutionary, is alitke for a Hindu or Moslem “(as the case may be) Indla. If he can kill a white man—-all right, so far so good—but it is very much| more according to the teachings of his creed to kill a Moslem or a Hindu, as the' case may be. After that, Hindu or Moslem is quite likely to try and clean up Moscow, if Moscow tries to boss India. Some Rulers Embarrassed Indfan “Home Rulers” in London and other centers are greatly embar- rassed by the “assistance” of Moscow in their fight for “freedom’” and are at a loss to déal with British Govern- ment charges of “bad faith™ or “con- nivance” in connection with Bolshe- vist propaganda. The British and Indian governments have ample evi- dence of Moscow propaganda, both from Moscow and from the chief Far Eastern Bolshevist headquarters at Shanghal—propaganda which, ironic- ally enough, does not always coincide when it comes to trying to co-relate the religious atms of the various sec- tions of Indian opinion. 1f a political break between England and Russia comes, it probably will be over India, rather than Soviet sub- sidles for the striking British miners. And Indian “Home Rulers” recognize they will lose by such a break. MUSIC SWAYS WILD ANIMALS Soft Notes Calm; Shrill Ones Irri- tate Them. It is & well known fdct that some animals are fond of music, while others are exceedingly particular as to the instruments played in their presence, says Ruby Denton in Our Dumb Ani- mals. Lions have been found to listen with marked attention to the piano. They appreciate the top and middie notes, but begin to roar terribly when the bass notes are struck loudly. Tigers cannot endure the shrill notes of the fife. Scientific experiments have been made that show that the ears of the tiger are much more sen- sitive than'those of human beings, and that sharp-toned instruments irritate the sensitive organs of hearing. That is why some people in the jungles of India and China have some- times been able to save their lives by playing a fife or some similar instru- ment that they have happened to have along with them when attacked by a wild beast. The ferocious animal appeared to forget all else but the irri- tation used to the sensitive mem- brane of its ears and has been more than willing to flee with all possible haste. In zoos experiments have been made with horns, fifes and violins, and their effect upon the animals noted, the result being that all take rather kindly to the softer notes of the violin, but are much disturbed the shrill tones of the harsher instrd- ments. In those countries where oxen are used for labor they take great pleas- ure in the singing of their driver. They work better at the plow when stirred by a cheerful song. It is also customary for the Arabs to sing to their camels during long Jjourneys across the desert. Skysorapers of 80 Stories. From the Popular Science Magasine. - That the tallest skyscrapers of to- day will be dwarfed by the towering structures of tomorrow seems not at all improbable. Only recently combi- nation office and apartment bulldings 80 stories high were predicted by Rob- ert M. Catts, head of a New York concern which is planning the con- struction .of great office buildings throughout the country. The busi- ness man of the future will solve the trafiic_problem in congested centers, Mr. Catts says, by’ dwelling in an apartment in his office building and g to his office in an elevator. will probably leave its mark on thou homes where Good Paint has been unknown for ma; Perhaps large repair bills will be the result. “Murco” Lifelong Paint will be on the job on hundreds of houses, defying Old Sol to break through its protective barrier. “Murco” is 100% Pure, durable and beautiful.

LEGION M. P.’S TO KEEP MEN ORDERLY IN PARIS Wartime Military Note Provided, But Travel Chairman Feels All Visitors Will Behave. By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 24—The holding of the 1927 American Legion convention in Paris is rot a joy-ride on the part of the thousands coming over here next year, but is a holy pilgrimage to the land where the buddies of those visitors gave their lives in 1917 and 1918, says John J. Wicker, jr., of Norfolk, Va., who is here to arrange detalls of the housing of the delegates. Mr. Wicker is chairman of the travel committee which has charge of all the arrangements for the visit of 20,000 veterans, including transportation in the United States and across the At- lantic as well as housing and feeding in France. “The men and women coming over here next year,” Mr. Wicker told Sasaribaes oF Péis Post 4k the Legion, “are the sort to make all Americans proud. I know there are apprehen- sions of wild outbursts along the boulevards which will hurt the name and reputation of America, but I as- :::-s you there need be no fear of 5. The travel chalrman declared that there would be M. P.'s on duty just as they patrolled the streets of Paris in war time, but, instead of looking for passes, these after-war military police would assist only in maintain- ance of order. WILL H.
