DOING WONDERS FOR INDIA.

Natives Fail to Appreciate England's
Efforts on Their Behalf.

"Although two crops a year are harvested in India, the majority of the people never get enough to eat," M. D. Adams of Belaspur, India, a missionary, said last night at the Hotel Baltimore. "The people of India are not thrifty and prosperous. England is doing wonders for the country, but the natives do not appreciate it. There is a great spirit of unrest among the natives in India over English rule. Magistrates are being assaulted and assassinated, and uprisings are frequent in different parts of the country.

"The educated natives of India -- and there are many of them -- who want to enter the government civil service are required to go to London to stand the examination. The natives are asking that they be permitted to take the civil service examinations at home. The English are not encouraging them to enter the government service."
