KEIR HARDIE-REBEL.
AX INDIAN PRINCE AND KING GEORGE. •• Till-: FOOT OF THE OPPRESSOR." By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 7, 5.5 p.m. London, January 6. Mr. Keir Hardie, writing to the newspaper, the Welsh Pioneer, says that many of the Gaekwar of Baroda's fellow rulers have been taught to grovel before the Throne, as becomes all approaching such a symbol of imbecility. The Gaekwar with his American traditions, kept erect and turned his back on the King, remembering that a man'a eyes are in front. He was not -skilled ih the art of walking like a crab, and it is difficult to see what else he could have : done. Historians will, continues Mr. HaTdie, depict the Gaekwar as one of the significant figures at the Durbar, and not the King-Emperor going through his little pr.rt like a well-painted automaton. The Gaekwar ealmly did all that was required of him as a gentleman, but, always remembering his country -was in ' the dust, refused to kiss the foot of the oppressor.
