SIMPLY GERMANISM

» -ii--i

In a recent issue we published a telegram, received'

through New York sources, of a rising in India, and the consequent departure of Earl Kitchener for the scene of the trouble. Along with the telegram we pub- lished one from Ottawa stating that the story was not believed there and that according to latest despatches conditions in India were normal.

Now we learn, as was suspected at the time, that

the story was of German origin, built on the usual Ger- man foundation--nothing, and inspired by German malevolence and hatred of England. n

Ever since India became a. possession of Great

Britain it has been the scene of unrest and discontent. There have, during this time, existed a number of re- volutionary societies among the East Indians, whose object has been to stir up revolt against the British. According to a leading New York journal these activi- ties have been carried on largely from the United States and a newspaper in the Western States serves as an organ for the Indian revolutionary movement. And here it may be mentioned that it was only the other day that the British Government closed its mails against a book published in one of the Western United States cities, purporting to be a translation into Indian of excerpts from speeches of William Jennings Bryan. This book is forbidden entry into Great Britain or any British possession. . _

The Germans have had their emissaries in India

trying to fan into flames the incipient rebellions and mutinies that so frequently manifest themselves there, using the argument that the British are fighting Ma- homrnedanism in their \var against Turkey. Many of these German agents have been caught by the British and by the Russians in Persia while they were en route to India.

of forty German agents with large quantities of sup- plies and money who were eiideavoring to make their way across Persia into India. A little' later there came the significant announcement that the authorities at Bagdad had hanged three natives for divulging in- formation about this party which led to the arrest of all the Germans by the Russian troops in Persia. Their funds for stirring up revolt went into the Russian treasury, and they were shot.

In some instances this German. intrigue has suc-

ceeded iii inducing open revolt. An Indian regiment at Singapore about two months ago, it will be remem- bered, niutinied and killed its British officers. The rp- giment was, however, soon placed under control and transferred. _ The British have taken the greatest precautions to protect themselves in India. Before the British troops were withdrawn from there for service in Europe thei stocks of munitions were concentrated at points where they could be guarded by the remaining British troops. Native troops starting a revolt would probably find themselves very poorly equipped. But the strongest factor in 'favor of the British in India is that ,the troops and the portions of the native population in- clined to revolt are in the minority. The British have many Indian troops upon whose loyalty they can count. as well as they can on that of Britishtroops. It must be remembered that the Mohammedans in India are greatly outnumbered and that the great majority of Indians would sacrifice their lives readily to save them- selves from any Mohammedan rule such as the Ger-. mans could promise_through a victory for Turkey and her Allies. ` ' » ~

Great Britain knows India like an open book. She

is also beginning to know Germany and her under-_ handed, unscrupulous and devilish methods of war- fare. She has learned, at infinite cost, that her word is valueless, that her solemn international obligations and her pledged treaties are but “scraps of paper.” She knows that there is no deviltry that she will stop at from the murder and mutilation of babes. and wo- _meii to the destruction of property destined for the Allies. She knows that the United States is seething with intrigue and murder and incendiarism aimed against the Allies. The destruction of the Bethlehem Steel Works the other day is now known to have been' the work of German-Americans and- a news despatch

the beginning of the war has cauiiedmore rejoicing in Germany and Austria than that blaze which destroyed between one and four million dollars’ worth of muni- tions intended for the Allies. An Austrian ofiiccr even went so far as to say that the destruction of the Beth- lehem Steel Works had long been expected _and that the Americans had bee_n-repeatedly warned just as they had been in the case of the Lusitania. ‘ _.

Great Britain knows this and "to be forewarned is

'mit an canadiawnewspapers go to me boys

`_; RY, ,.,._ .5 . _ii1"the trenches is well` known to our readers-and to

bur newspapers. 'Our own Island papers are anxi-

j_ously'awaited and eagerly read on arrival not only by *our own Prince Edward Island boys but by thdi' com-

panions from the overseas dominions and from Eng- land. Those newspapers reflect the public opinion in their respective-provinces. They tell, whether in di-` rect words or by imputation, how, the people feel ab0ut the war and its conduct, how they feel about our own efforts nd our own activities in the matter of h_elping._ And these papers are read just as eagerly by many Germans. All the leadingpapers in Canada, as in each of the other British possessions, find their way, either directly or through telegraphic or other reports, into Germany and Austria, and the sentiments ex-

are by our own Canadians, although for a very dif- ferent purpose. The Gemians are anxious to lmow what Canadian thought is,_what Australian, New Zea- land, South African thought is and what the measure is of the loyalty and 'patriotism and faith of these countries. '

These things being so is it any wonder that a Can-

adian soldier, a Prince Edward Islander at that, in writing to a home paper should ,advise “Stop criticiz- ing, stop finding fault.” . _ . “It is vexing to get a Canadian paper and see in, big black type ‘Fearful Graft in Militia Department" ” etc., etc.

It certainly is vexing _to Canadians who are risk-

ing their lives for Canada and the Empire; it is most agreeable and most encouraging tothe Germans. Our people at home as well as in the trenches want the truth and it is to our interest that the Germans also should get the truth. When we remember what Can- ada has done in a`little,_over a year it should stir up every feelng of pride and faith' within us. Out of the calm, peaceful and peace-loving Canada of fifteen months ago we have built up and equipped an army of 200,000 men, enough of them on the battlefield al- ready to stagger the mighty German army and the rest ready to go and help finish the job. Besides this we have converted numberless factories into inunition works and are already turning out enough war mater- ial to supply a large army. And our young men from every corner of the dominion are Hocking to the col- ours, our women everywhere are giving of their time and their means, the men who are physically disquali- lied from service at the front are doing all they can at_ hoine, and all this to help the cause, to bring the war to a triumphant conclusion. * Would it not be more heartening for our boys at

the front, more wholesome to the Germans and very much better for our own people if our newspapers placed iriore emphasis on these things than to keep

. Last spring at report from Bagdad told of a party- ‘evlerlastinglyharping at faults, real or imaginary-or

political? We have done much, there is much yet to be done and it will require the united efforts of all to do it. Let us hearten each other in the good work and leave as much of the criticism and the faultfindiiig as is hurtful'-to ourselves and helpful to our enemies, severely alone till the war is over.

_ INDIA .

It was Lord Macaulay, the great historian, who

said: “The Indian Empire is thestrangest of all ano- malies. That a handful of adventurers from an island in the Atlantic should have subjugated a vast country diyided from the place of their birth by half the globe; an island which at no very distant period was merely the subject of fable to the nations of Europe as com- pared with an Aisatic country never before violated by the most renowned of Western conquerors, which Tra- jan never entered, lying beyond the point where the army of Alexander refused to proceed-that England should govern a huge territory lo,ooo miles from her, larger and more populous than France, Spain, Italy and Germany_put together, inhabited by 'men differing from us in race, color, language, manners, morals and religion_-these are prodigies to which the world has seen nothing similar.” ‘ I

1' ‘ No as _

Even in the world war no defiance of an enemy

quite measures up to the contempt of winter shown bythe lady with the low neck dress. V

---It hasibeen discovered that there are fewer mur-

derers perzcapita in Canada than, in any other English- speaking country, the ratio per annum per million of .population 'being 7 in Canada to izo in the United

States. But in Canada we execute the murderers.
