(The New York Evening World) NO. 21.—ROBERT CLIVE; Who Conquered an Empire. RAWBONED giant of a boy, nineteen years old, was sent out to India, in 1744, to take a clerkship which had been sécured for him by family influence. He was Robert Clive; son of a good English family, Clive was not sent to India with any idea thet he could or would make good there. Nobody thought the big boy had the ability to make good anywhere. He was a fool, an idler, a semi-defective, At leasts that was the verdict of every one who knew him. He was shipped to India because there was no career fog him at home. You shall hear how ae made good. French and English and Dutch and Portugese had long had foothold .\ At last, Dupleix, the French local Governor, hit on a plan to mak@ land watohed Dupleix's subtle preparations as a bulldog might watch th@ Clive, too, foresaw trouble. He dropped his clerkship and won @ Lieutenancy in the British forces stationed in India, Here he rose rapidly in rank. ‘ Soon afterward, Dupteix sought to put on the vacant throne of the native state of Deccan a man named Ghunda, who was pledged to France’e interests, England objected, and named another candidate. Chunda resented this by besieging a pitifully small British garrigon thag was cooped up in Trihinopol : Clive, with a force of 500 men and three cannon, undertook to rais@ the siege. Instead of advancing on Trichtnopoly, he and his little force attacked the town of Arcot, which was Chunda’s stronghold. This counter move drew Chunda and bis rmy away from Trichinopoly im a rush tg free Arcot from the English. But here Clive beat him back, after a fiftye day defense, and remained in control of Arcot. Not content with this, Clive kept on until he had destroyed Chundg and the latter’s army and forced all Southern India to recognize Enge Jand’s clatms, But trouble broke out at once {n another quarter. ‘Tha ruler of Bengal seized Calcutta and looted the English banks and mercantile houses there driving out the British and committing hideous atrocities. On the strength of his Arcot prowess, Clive was sent against him. With only 1,900 men and seven cannon, Clive swooped down on Cate cutta; thrashed the Bengalese Army of 24,000 men and forty cannon an@ fifty war-elephants; and later ravaged the Bengal capital. England by this time had made the dashing Clive her national here Pitt proclaimed him “a heaven-bora General.” Clive was made a Baron. His fortune—largely mado up of bod and of prize money—amounted to $2,000,000. He had found, accidentally, the one thing he was good for, In any profession other than that of arms and armed statesmanship, ha woukt never have been worth eight dollars @ As a soldier and as an administrator of England's policies in th . he ad made good, to the point of becoming the most famous mam of his day. Not satisfied, he plunged back into the task of whipping India inte shape, Within a very few years his genius ‘had latd the foundations far Great Britain's India Empire, He smashed official graft and red tape and precedent and bent the whole Orient to his will. Naturally, his high-handed proceedings won countiess enemies for him, And when Clive went home in triumph to England he found these enemieg had been active in spreading lies as to his honesty. Furlous at the ingratitude of the very people he had spent his life ims serving, he Killed tmself.

No, keeping your maiden name and your job won't save you, Esmeralda. You can't escap@ “that married look!” Sometimes a man’s “constancy” is merely a geniug for concealing his little sentimental variations.

Salvage men believe jthat for the rough usage of war this juarness is as good as leather harness, inasmuch as it is replaceable cheaply, and in case an animal is killed on the battlefield the is less, In the same storehouse were thousands of horse blankets of paper, which are probably as warm as a cotton or wool blanket. Other finds were hun- dreds of coils of rope and cord of twisted paper strips, which are of lite tle use because they quickly fray and pull apart after wetting. Among the abandoned material were several thousand thick straw herse shoes, The use of these shoes is puzzling military men, but it is be~ lieved they were used to muffle the tread of horses hauling artillery near the front ne Germans even used paper for the covering of stretchers for wounded. Also there were great quantities of bolts of paper fabric for use in mak~+ ing the uppers of shoes, The fabrio resembles a heavy black canvas with a shiny finish, Upon casual inspee~ tion it is difficult to determine thas the material is not a thick shiay In every case ¥ a substitute was utilized in the me facture of war material. For t reason much of the supplies aban- doned will be of Nttle use to the American Army, Whenever practi- able, paper was used instead of cloth ue th loss or leather.
