HUNS ARE LIKE
THUGS OF INDIA
SAYS RUDYARD IIPLIN4ir IN A
RECENT ADDRESS.
Germans Taught From Birth to Re-
gard Crime as. Legitimate Means
of Serving Fatherland.
Rudy* ard Kipling says that the
atrocities committed' under the Ger-
man Policy of frightfulness were
parallel to some extent a century ago
among the people of India, only on a
smaller scale, In an address recently
in the English town of Folkstone,
'which has been bombarded from the
air several times, the author told his
audience' that the nations of the earth
have banded together to down the
Raiser and his minions just as the
Indian Government had to take meas-
ures to wipe out Thugs.
Suggestions of peace, Kipling as-
serted, originate among Boche agents
and confederates who are active not
only in England but in every other
country, with which Germany is at
war. Compromise, hesaid, would mean
nothing less than defeat and "nothing
we may have to endure now will weigh
one featherweight compared with
what we shall suffer if ` we fail.
The Thugs of India.
"One hundred years ago there was
a large and highly organized commu-
nity in India which lived by assassina-
tion and robbery," continued Kipling.
"They were educated to it from their
infancy; they followed it as a profes-
sion and it also was their religion.
They were called Thugs. wished to create; he built it up seri-
"Their method was to disguise ously and scientifically with his. best
themselves as pilgrims or travellers hands and brains.; .he breathed into it
or merchants and to join with parties his own spirit that it might grow
moving about India. They got into
the confidence of their victims, found
out what they had on them and in due
time -after weeks or months of ac-
quaintance—they killed them by giv-
ing -them poisoned Food—sweetmeats
for choice—or by strangling them
from behind as they sat over the fire
of an evening. Then they stripped
the c'tdi'pse of all valuables, threw it
"down a well or buried it and went on
to the next job.
"At last things got so bad that. the.
Government of India had to interfere
and after many years in tracking
down and hanging up the actual mur-
derers and imprisoning their spies and
confederates, who included persons in
all ranks of society, it put an end to
the whole business of Thuggee.
"The world has progressed since
that day. By present standards of
crime those Thugs were ineffective
amateurs.; They did not mutilate or
defile the bodies of the dead; they did
not torture or rape or enslave people;
they lid not kill children for fun and
they did not burn villages. " They
merely killed and robbed' in an unob-
tz•usive way as a matter of education,
duty and religion, under the patronage
of their goddess, Kali, the Destroyer.
One International, Department.
"At the presentsnoment all .the

Powers of the. world that have not

it have been forcedto join us in one
international departmeut to make an
end of German international Thuggee,
for the reason that if it is not ended
life on this planet becomes insupport-
able for human beings. Even now
there are people in England who find
it hard to realize that the Ilan has
been educated by the State from his
birth to look upon assassination and
robbery, embellished with every,
treachery and abomination that the
mind of man can laboriously think out,
as a perfectly legitimate means to the
national ends of his country.
"He `is not shocked by these things.
He has been taught that it is his busi-
ness te, perform them, his_dutyto sup-
port them and his religion to justify
them. They are, and for a long time
past have been, as legitimate in his
eyes as the ballot in the eyes of an
Englishman.
"This, remember, was as true of the
German in 1914 as it is now. People
who have been brought up to make or-
ganized evil in everyform their su-
preme god because they believe evil.
�vill,pay them are not going to change
their belief till it is proved that evil
does not pay. So far the Hun believes
that evil has paid him in the past and
will pay him better in the future. IIe
has had a good start.
"Like the Thug the Hun knew ex-
actly what he meant to do before he
opened his: -campaign against mankind,
As we have proof now, his poisoned
sweetmeats and knotted towels were
prepared years beforehand and his
spies had given him the fullest infor-
mation about all the people he in-
tended to attack.

with his J eeds; and at the hour he
judged best he let it loose onto. world
that till then had believed there were
limits beyond which men born of
woman dared not sin.
"Nine -tenths of the atrocities Ger-
many has committed have not been
made; public. I think this is a • mis-
take. But one gets hint of them here
and there—Folkestone has had more
than a hint. For instance, we were
told the other day that 14,000 non-
combatants, men, women and children,
had been drowned, burned or blown
to pieces since the war began.
"But we have - no conception—and
till the veil is lifted after the war we
shall have no conception—of the range
and system of these atrocities. Least
of all we shall realize, as they realize
in Belgium and occupied France just
across the river, the cold, organized
miseries which Germany has laid upon
the populations that have fallen into
her hands, that she might break their
bodies and defile their. souls. This is
part of the German creed.
"What understanding is possible
with a breed that has worked for and
brought about these things? And as
long as the Germans are left with any
excuse for thinking that such things
pay can anypeace ho made with them
in which men can trust? None.
"For it is the peculiar essence of
German culture—which is the German
religion—that it is Germany's moral
duty to break every tie, every r‘stric-
tion,'that binds man to fellow man if
she thinks it will pay. Therefore, all.
mankind are against her. Therefore,
all mankind must be against her till
she learns that no race\can make its
way or break its way outside the
borders of humanity."
GULLS AS FOOD FOR MAN.
In Iceland' Gull Flesh Forms Principal
Winter Diet.
"The flesh'. of 'gulls," says one of the
best-known "Encyclopedias," "is rank
and course." So it is: You have only
to shoot a gull and cook it to find that
this is the ease, and that as a dinner
dish it is a complete failure.
Yet in Iceland gull flesh is one of
the principal winter foods of the peo-
plc. There, in early summer, when
the ;cliffs swarm with nesting gulls,
parties are organized and mien are let

They catch young gulls, which aro as
fat es butter, and send them up to
the top in sacks. The moment they
reach the top the birds areskinned. A
great cauldron of ` boilink water is
ready, and into this the bodies are
clipped and held for a few seconds.
This completely does away with the
fishy taste, and the birds are then
taken home and hung in smoke until
they are thoroughly dried,
When winter comes they are cooked
and eaten, and are as delicate as any
chicken or game bird, but far more

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be lift-
ed right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid one's feet of
every corn or callus without pain or
soreness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether com-
pound, and dries the moment it is ap-
plied and does not inflame or even ir-
ritate the surrounding• tissue. Just
think! You can lift off your corns and
calluses now without a bit of pain or
soreness. If your druggist hasn't
freezone he can easily get a small bot-
tle for you from his wholesale drug
house.
