Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published every evening except Sunday Telephone 81; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher The Indian Revolt Lord Northcliffe, who has completed a tour of the world, reports systematic propaganda extending from the riji is lands in the mid-Pacific to the west coast of Africa against white dominion and predicts epochal changes pending from the awakening of nationalism and racial conciousness fol lowing the world war and as a result of the extension of knowledge through the printing pres3. The dark-hued peoples are adopting the ideas and methods of their fair er skinned over-lords. Islam is seething with unrest and there is turmoil and trouble throughout the Mahammedan world, in the. isles of the Pacific, in Central Asia, in Persia, in Arabia, in Pales tine, in the Balkans, in French Syria, in Greek Smyrna, in British Egypt, in Italian Libya, in French Algiers and in Snanish Morocco. There are over 300,000,000 Moslems uniting with a common purpose the end of white rule. Egyptians have already wrested from Britain a larger share of home government than enjoyed for many centuries, and India is now seething with revolt. There is a question whether Britain can much longer rule India, despite liberal concessions for home rule. It is significant that North cliffe talks in the following vein: "Whether the retention of our possessions In India is an ad vantage to Great Britain is a question much debated. Whether the British (Scotch mostly) who go there in considerable num bers would not be more happily engaged in opening up the vast wealth of Australia Is a subject which is more and more engag ing the attention of those who have seen the whole of the British Empire and not merely a part. Up to" this time the welfare of India, the warding off of famine throughout the country, the fur therance of education, have been part and parcel of the creed of he average Englishman at home. India Is not, and cannot be. ruled by the sword. The Bmall handful of white men there could be wiped out In a moment if India were united, which It very obviously Is not. India has population of hundreds of millions, a vast conglomeration -of diverse races, tribes, and religions. Of these only 180,000 are Europeans. Previous to the advent of the British ,the country was divided into many warring kingdoms and frequently the prey of invaders from the north who despoiled the landi Few of the inhabitants are of military disposition, most of these latter are Mo and it is because of their discontent over the treatment accorded Turkey, whose Sultan is head of the church, that British residents of India have appealed to London for revision of the treaty of Sevres. The request indicates the seriousness of the Indian situation." The Indian revolt is led by the Mahatma Ghandi, a high cast Hindu, educated in England, who has preached the doctrine of non-cooperation while uniting the discordant elements in the common cause for white expulsion, though there is nothing to indicate btit that if the British with drew, anarchy would not again rule India, as it did before their entry. The Indians have never demonstrated capa city for self-government since the first white rulers were absorbed by the aborigines, despite the caste system they instituted to preserve racial purity. The inspiration of imperialism's the rule and exploita tion of distant peoples for profit not the profit of the, people of the ruling nation, but of special classes, who fasten the "white-man's burden" upon the rank and file. Thej people of America never profited by our seizure of the Philippines. They have been an expensive burden to the people. But certain interested persons and parties have profited immensely and are still profiting. India probably does not profit the average British tax-payer, but it does certain British interests, for the East India Company has been the source of much wealth to those interested, and the foundation of many fortunes. . i India is not exploited today as in the days of Hast ings, when wholesale robbery was the rule, but is useful as a source of raw materials and as a market for British manufacturers and quite important to British commerce. British rule has been a blessinir to India. Under it the country has prospered, industry expanded, production in--rrpjLspd. famines eliminated and law and order replaced anarchy. This was fine as long as the east thought as the east, but now it is thinking on western lines and wants self-determination. There is no question but that eastern and western civili zations are entering upon a period of readjustment, such as has not been experienced since the Turk first invaded Eurone and Islam, with its hundreds of millions united in fanaticism, has an advantage over a discordant and pros trnio P)irist.nilnm. exhausted bv civil wars There are jn,iionHnna that, western imperialism is doomed and that emnor nr bitor the white race must surrender its overlord ship and permit the colored races to rule themselves or face a world wide revolution in exploited lands.

I lolled back in bed propped up by a couple of pillows. My mind reverted to my prou- iems. snouia i mairj i celebrity and enjoy the Hie of ase and position he could otter A- nr nhould l choose Lddie Montforth, and thus become the wife of a man destinea to oe- oonie a prosperous ""J squire? As I weighed these ques tions I was struck with the thought: "What has become of my ambitions for a career?" I dismissed that thought aorupt. ly and turned again to Theo and Eddie. I knew that by all the dictates of common sense I shoum care more for Eddie Montforth than for Theodore Stratton. Eddie was of my own age and my own people. Eddie's outlook upon life would harmonize with mine, we would understand each other. And what had Theodore Strat- lon to offer? I read and re-read Theo s Im passioned letter. From it I got nothing 'nothing 'but a semen expression of his want of me. Theo wanted my youth to put new life Into his existence. Theo wanted my flesh, unsoph isticated view of life as a new starting point irom which he could survey life anew. His let ter was full of the hopes, desires and fears of Theodore Stratton. Several times I though I had better answer lneo'e letter. But each time Kittys wise counsel prevailed and I d;d not write. I followed the code of movie-land I put nothlug upon paper. This decided upon I arose, dreas ed and breakfasted. After that tried to read. Tiring of that 1 began fussing about my clothes. A girl In moving pictures spends most of her spare time freshen ing her wardrobe. Clothes are a large part of her stock-in-trade. During the morning John Storm called on me. "I wish you would go with me out to the stud io where' Kitty is making her pic ture," he said. It was interesting to note that although Kitty was not playing the important part John Storm never spoke of ir except as "her plcftire." I looked at him compassionate ly. John and Kitty's affair al ways seemed so much bigger than my own because I could see no loophole whereby these two peo ple whom I loved so dearly and who were so deserving of con tent could slip through the eor- dona of society and find at least a little oi tneir snare oi numan happiness. Do you have to go out this morning, John?" I felt a little sinking of my heart as I tried to divert him. be cause I knew mat Kitty would like to keep John Storm and Jul- an Thorndyke apart. - Yes, I'm needed there," he an jwered. "Are they going to take the church scenes over again?" "I don't know. I only know that Kitty needs me, Virginia." "Has she sent tor you?' "No, dear,' he ainswered patiently, "but surely you must know, Virginia, how much I love Kitty." "But, John " "Oh, yes, I know, Virginia. I understand how people will talk. But I tell you" (his voice grew hard as steel ) "that if the world stands on one side and Kitty beck ons from the other, I wiU go straight to her." I listened, fascinated by a love so true, so steadfast. A poem sprang almost unconsciously to my lips: "I know not In the way that love Is reckoned That this is oive of the deepest dye, I know, too, if an angel beckoned Standing close to the throne on high And thou, adown by the gates in fernal j Should open your arms and smile I would turn m oack on things supernal To rest on your breast a little while." "That is very true, Virginia. But I didn't know a modern girl could be so old-fashioned as to quote Ella Wheler Wilcox to prove it." "You must remember, John, that I am the product of another generation," I countered, as I put on my 'hat. "Aunt Virginia had charge of my reading." - From the moment John Storm seated himself in the roadster his one idea seemed to be speed. It was as though his heart, his soul and every muscle in his Body were pushing the motor to do Its utmost. Fortunately we did not encounter any policemen. We paid no attention to the usual torn-up pavements for which Los Angeles is famous and John took bumps and holes with utter unconcern. He seemed to feel as though he could not get to the studio fast enough. I knew his unspoken fear and at last it assailed me so strongly that both of us almost literally held our breath until' we drove up to the studio. ' After helping me out of Jhe car John paid no. attention to me but strode in through the gates, and I followed as fast as possible. ToiliOow Kitty's Acting.
