Such accomplishments she meant when, in vigorous exhortation, she cried: "We've arrived at last! Such a journey we've had! . . . The Salvation Army is now an empire without frontier. But our work is not finished. March on until Paganism has burned its last idol and Mohammedanism has renounced its false prophet and Christianity prevails everywhere...
What the actual situation is in the Northwest Frontier Province has been a state secret since the first riot at Peshawur a month ago (TIME, May 5). Every few days the office of the Viceroy issued reassuring statements; but last week came a remarkable one that "after three weeks" His Majesty's forces had finally "reoccupied Peshawuo," capital of the province, which had not previously been known to be out of British hands. Squadrons of R. A. F. bombing planes were said to have been "highly effective" in quelling the frontier tribesmen...
...lack of energy and strength, expressed in the philosophy of a genuine artist, has receded into the past." Roughly, Dostoievski and Tolstoi are as representative of contemporary Russia as are Nathaniel Parker Willis and James Fenimore Cooper of the U. S. Strange names loom on the Soviet art-frontier.

Dr. Bapat would hardly suggest that they relinquish responsibility for law and order. There were 116 killed and 700 injured in religious riots in his own city of Bombay last year; one can imagine the welter which would follow if the British surrendered effective control. Groups which out one another...
...understanding, goaded human nature to violence, which it could understand how to deal with." Shrewd Move. Certainly there was violence enough last week in India (see map). Riots small and great broke out in the chief commercial cities of Madras, Calcutta and Bombay. At Peshawar on the northwestern frontier, in circumstances which censorship obscured, two soldiers were burned to death in an armored car ignited by natives. But most frightful of all were atrocities at Sholapur. This city - a cotton-spinning metropolis of 12,000 - was for a time virtually ruled by various mobs, some followers of the Saint, others...
