Mahatma, or "Great Soul," Gand- hi, le, at any time, one of the meet arresting personalities in the world. At the present moment, when the Ile than situation looms eo formidably largo on the British horizon, he Is easily the most portentous figure of our time. Mr. Gandhi 1s more than man, He fe an embodied idea—an idea which has been gathering momentum eines the days 01 his childhood. The Indian Question ie the Gandhi question, for It is Inspired by the idea which le Gandhi. This peace -loving saint, who has The influence of a Messiah over his eountrymen, frontally enough la the veal storm centre of a vast sub- continent that numbers its people in hundreds of mtlliona, Its languages in hundreds and its castes and sub- etes In thousands, two-thirds of In- a population were recorded In 411 se Hindus and the "Mahatma" a. Hindu, ease an article In the Te- lt is solely from his character that Gandhi derives his power. In appear - 1000 he le entirely unheroic and neg- ligible. Small, emaciated from long rears of rigorous asceticism, this 'God -intoxicated man" of India looks out upon a machine -made world ab- horrent to him with small, d,ark eyes ono* fall of a dreamy lntenelty, but sow toll of weariness and renuncla- tion. Els. graying head is close- * raven, his ears large end protrud- ing, his thin, wiry body rlothed only in a white loincloth, as he sits, Bud- dha -like, en a neer-cushion in a bare, clean room with his back to a blank Wall. Planted on the ground In front of him le a little wooden spinning - Wheel, with which his bands hussy themselves as he talks. The western visitor Is invariably surprfeed to hear perfect. English proceeding from the mouth of this email spinner, whose every word as he speaks slowly and at length la taken down by two secretaries squat- ting near him. "What is my message to America?" bo repeated in answer to Katherine Mayo, the authoress of "Mother In- dia," In his light, dispassionate, oven rotee. "My message to America Is the hunt of title spinning -wheel," Gandhi's cry of "Back to the loom and the spindle" la a desperate at- tempt to rescue the soul of his people from being swept Into the "Hall of Death" by a tidal wave of masa pro- duotlon. Even to the delicate, dark-skinned student who dropped some forty years ago into the cosmopolitan cur- rent of London's life and was borne along daily to the Temple, civiliz- ation was ever the enemy, enslaving men spiritually and welrliitg them in- to machines of soulless efficiency, To- eay, to the Mahatma, modernlsm in alt lee aspects, political, industrial, as well as spiritual, le the enemy of the soul of India. His convictions, deepened by the teaching of Tolstoy, with whom he corresponded, and by the study of I the Sermon of the Mount, cane to a creels 1n South Africa whither Mr, Gandhi had gone to practice law among the Indian community. He gave up all the "glittering prizes" of Gals world, including an income of $16,000 a year, emptied hie heart of all save the deathless dream of liv- b>s the perfectlife in poverty and went back to hie native land. Rumors of Gandhi's salntlineas travelled far and fast, as such things do among primitive peoples, and Hin- dus by the million acclaimed this "Mahatma" (thine and flocked to his religious retreat, near Ahmedabad, to pray—and remained to ferment. An a religious reformer Gandhi deserves the tribute of Mr. Lloyd George, who once described him as "In,dla's greatest man." Worshipper of Idols and of the sacred row, a be- llever in the caste system Gandhi may he, yet his wrath against the bar- barities and appalling degradations of Hinduism is as a consuming fire. He has swept his country with a cleansing gospel, inspired by a fer- vent zeal worthy of a more enlight- ened creed. His tolerance of all re- ligious faiths to so embracing that his aim 1s a spiritual concordat of Hin- dus, Moslems and Christians. It is in the economic and political field, whither his passion for the spiritual regeneration of his people has led hire, that this great, saint be- comes poesesaed by furies over which he has no control, While "Home Rule" for him is a spiritual revival, for the masses of his coun- trymen, out of every thousand of whom only eighty-two can read and write, it means Another name for "Mie.rule." summomaczcIS DANGER iN SPEED The Mester a Vehicle to Going, the, Worse the Snot, If it Comae, Far-sighted members of the mo- toring community are already begin nine to realize that things may be worse, and not better for the motor - int when the speed limit goes on the scrap -heal), The point which the others over- look is simple, says an article In An- swers. In certain circumstances e /speed of anything from twenty -firs miles an hour upwards may be re- garded as dangerous driving, even although, in actual fact, no one may be endangered. When this is more generally rea- lized there will, of couree, be loud and bitter protests from motorists, but pedestrians have a right to pro- tection, and it is by no meatus certain that even the daugeroua driving regulations will safeguard them adequately. The plain fact le that the faster a vehicle le travelling, the most ear - bus any accident which It causes, or In which it is involved, may be. This is proved by the fact that, al- though there are more accidents in large cities, the percentage of acci- dents that prove fatal is much high- er In the country, The tattle un- eaten which causes so many mire haps in crowded streets, by slowing down the pace at which vehicles trav- el, makes them less deadly. Anyone who doubts this has only to consult the figures. Taking the twelve largest cities in England apart from London, we find that in 1921, the last year for which exact compar• ative figures are available, there was one fatal accident in, roughly, every thirty-three aecldenta. Taking the counties in which these twelve cities are situated, the proportion of fatal- ities is doubled, being two in roughly every thirty-two accidents, The same holds good in London. In the city there le one fatal accident in every seventy-five accidents; In the Metropolitan Police area, one In every forty-two; and in the countlee round London, one in every seven- teen. Link With Chimes. Every Victoria Cross, no matter to what war and In what part of the world It is won, fa a link with the Crimea. For each of the bronze medals "for valor" is cut from guns which were captured by Britain dur- ing the Crimean War, The War Of - flee keeps a eupply of this raw ma- terial, end when a V.O. is awarded it sends along the order for the erose, together with a mice of Crimean Atone°, to the firm which makes the decorations. Each crone le cast sep- arately, the design and the famous legend "For Valour" being added afterwards. Originally, only white troops could win the V,C., but, since 1911 It lees been open to Indian aoldlors also; and since 1920 to women or, in cer- tain circumstances, to civilians. There is only one foreign V.C.--Mr. T, Dinieson, of Copenhagen; and only one case In which the coveted cross has not been awarded for soma definite exploit. This is the V.C. laid on the War Memorial at Washington on Armistice Day eight years ago, and dedicated to the American La - known Warrior, Picture of Livingstone. Of the many portraits of Living- stone, to whom a fine memorial is be- ing dedicated at Blantyre, which best represents the great Pathfinder? Ap- parently his was a face that changed considerably during life—and lithe wonder, considering what he went through. At the request of John nturray, his publisher, Ile sat for .e portrait to Henry Phillips, and whe 1 it was finished complained to Mre. Murray: "I don't much like it; it makes nee look a great deal loo stern." She replied: "I have seeu your fare look very much like that, Dr, Livingstone." The last letter he ever wrote to Murray from Central Africa, only a few weeks before his death, had a postscript: "Please tell Mrs. ,5iurray that I have seen my face,Jor the first time for many months, in Lake Tanganyl:ra, and It is very like th3 portrait.'" An Early Saxon Cemetery. The discovery of more than forty skeletons on the Hog's Back, mar Guildford, England, has revealed that there was once a large Saxon settle- ment there. It was thought, when fleet the skeletons were unearthed, that they were the remains of male- factors hanged on the gibbet which once stood there, But further exert - eating resulted in finds of great in- terest, including a perfectly-presenv- ed drinking vessel and a spearhead and ferrule. From these British Mu- seum authorities are able to place the date of burial somewhere be- tween 800 and 650 A.D. Among the skeletons are some of very large men, several measuring over six feet.
