MONTREAL. HUNS ARE LIKE THUGS OF INDIA ' SAYS RUDYARD KIPLING IN A RECENT ADDRESS. Germans Taught From Birth to Re- gard Crime as Legitimate Means of Serving Fatherland. Rudyard Kipling says that the atrocities committed under the Ger- man policy of frightfulness were paralled 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 Kaiser and his minions just as the Indian Government had to take meas- ures to wipe out Thugs. Suggestions of peace, Kipling as- serjed, 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, he said, 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 They were called Thugs. "Their method was to themselves as pilgrims or travellers or merchants and to join with parties 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 <orpse 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 ahd 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 o 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 did not kill children for fun and they did not burn villages. They merely killed and robbed in an unob- trusive way as a matter of education, duty and religion, under the patronage of their goddess, Kali the Destroyer. One International Department.
