BAB A "BHARATI Far east is east and west is west, And never the twain shall meet. It Is not Improbable that Rudyard Kipling saw the gulf dividing the two civilizations in his early acquaintanceship with Baba Bharati when both, were journalists in India. It is certain that Bharati saw it, for he came to the Occident avowedly to study the possibilities of bridging it. Now, after five years among us he has gone back to his own people, never, he says, to return. And with his perspective of time, old ideals of civilization and disinterestedness Baba Bharati, "citizen of the universe," ascetic, philosopher and apostle of the purely spiritual life, sees war impending between east and west; a war, not of the west against the "yellow peril," but of the east against what he cails the "white peril" of aggressiveness and materialism. "The Orient will rise and drive the white man forth. This will happen in a very few years. By 1915, I believe, this conflict will be well under way. This is my own prophecy, but I find that Lafcadio Hearn made virtually the same forecast some years ago. It is the 'White Peril' from which we suffer in the Orient Caucasian aggressiveness and civilization." Such was Bharati's lvrting message to the western world. Baba (Father) Bharati is not to be confounded with the type of picturesque Hindu charlatans who, with appropriate scenery and costumes, have come to America from time to time to wheedle dollars from silly women and men who wear thumb rings. His sponsors were men of like standing with Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, Prof. Charles R. Lanman, of Harvard, and Dr. Felix Adler, of the Ethical Culture society. He is a Brahmin of the first order. His father was a magistrate and his uncle a judge of the high court of Calcutta. Twenty years ago he was editor of the Lahore Tribune when Kipling was a newspaper writer there. Later he became the editor and proprietor of a society paper in Calcutta. Then his religious instincts asserted themselves, and for 12 years he became an ascetic, a hermit, living a life of austere simplicity in Brinda-ban- , most holy of India's holy lands. While here he met the great Jegee of Barada, a giant in stature, and believed to be the most spiritual man in India. Under Ids teachings Baba Bharati came to believe that he had a message to carry to the Caucasian world. He did not wish to go, and for a time he struggled against what he deemed a command from on high. Then he went forth, and now he regards his work well done. He is happy in the thought of return, yet has learned to love the American people and feels pangs of regret at leaving them forever.

"America wants to exploit the whole world, but would shut out foreigners from her borders. Is it not likely that foreign nations will retaliate? Aud then what answer can America make? "The Mikado is one of the greatest rulers any nation has produced iu modern times. When, ten years before the war with Russia, Japan was deprived of the fruits of her victory over China by the European powers the Iftkado aid ne'hing. but complied with apparently yjod grace. Then he quietly prepared to punish Russia as the most hated of those powers. "Future events will come about In this way: President Roosevelt will suggest to Japan that an exclusion treaty be signed preventing Japanese of the lower classes from entering America. This will not meet with favor on the other side of the Pacific, but a storm will arise here which will force through congress some sort of an exclusion measure. "The Mikado will still hoid his peace, but soon after he will frame a message to be sent to Washington, reading something like this: " 'Y'ou have found it necessary for the protection of your working classes to exclude Japanese from your borders. After careful consideration we find that our country will be benefited by prohibiting the entry of American trade, and a decree is hereby promulgated.' "What could America do but accede, at least for the time? Yet how could such a condition continue? The great conflict is coming, and while I hate to think of it, while I regret that peace cannot always prevail, stlll the people of many countries will be benefited and those of my own India will be free.

"In India religion is the clue! of life. All else is subordinate. It is the true anchor of the Hindu.

All else is subordinate to this reverence for the Creator and those things which typifj and represent Him. Christianity Sublime. "Christianity, in its teachings, is sublime. preach Christ as much as I do my Krishna, who represents to me the great incarnation of (lod.

"But you can see only your own can see the good of all. religion. When became an ascetic In India I lost my nationality and became a citizen of the Universe. I love all people. When I was in London, even, I felt a deep heart interest In the Briton, even though he is oppressng my peo- tion and oppression by foreign hands and that a new Monroe doctrine will be called into being and the Orient will be for the Orientals alone. The western coast just now is aroused over the "Hindu Peril," as It is called. Hundreds, even thousands, of Hindus are coming across the Pacific, and the western states and western Canada fear a very deluge. So great has been the feeling in some places that the white laborers have driven the dusky invaders out, as the Chinese were sent forth from certain But western cities in early days. Baba Bharati declares there is no such It is thing as the "Hindu Peril." rather the "Japanese Peril" on this side of the Pacific, or the "White Peril" on the other side of the ocean. "The Hindus that come to the American shore are really not Hindus of the in the common acceptance term: rather they are half Hindus, sikhs from Upper India, with a different religion and different ideas," said Baba Bharati in an interview I had with him at the Hotel Stander just before the Minnesota sailed. He continued: "There is no cause to fear an invasion, for only a few of the sikhs will come. And they are not an aggressive people. If they find they are not wanted they will not cross the Pacific. There is no cause to fear." The Hindu philosopher and sage talked for an hour or more on this western world we know, his eastern world, religion, literature, modern conditions, his own life and experiences, his hopes, ambitions, and made predictions of such amazing nature regarding the future readjustment of relations across the Pacific as to startle any person who thinks on the shadows that portend coming events. In this interview he summed up a message he wished to convey in farewell to the America he is leaving. Spirituality Not for Sale. "The N'ew York Herald gave uie and my mission most helpful publicity, and then followed my first success since leaving my own shores. I was to lecture. Thirty persons came to hear me, and when had finished speaking they placed upon the table $30 In money. I almost wept. Then I ex-plained iliat a Hindu cannot take coin for sustenance he gives either to thei bodv or (he soul.

The minister: 'There is no religion like unto mine!' It is pitiful. Christianity is reduced to commerciality." Concerning Mr. Rockefeller. Curious to know what Baba Bharati would say of the richest man in America, I asked him for his opinion of the president of the Standard Oil company. "It is envy more than anything else that makes the average American condemn Rockefeller," he answered. "He thinks that Rockefeller has some of the millions that he should have. "Please do not think that I am severe with Americans. I do not mean to be, but I cannot help observing how they contrast with us of the far east. Where the Dog Is Valued.
