Bombay Times gives lis some useful facts
concerning India. The British, or British
and East India Company's armies in India,
numbering. on the LIST of January, 1917,
considerably above 100000 men, and the
yearly amount of military charges for their
support is stated to exceed $4,000, 900 a
year, or more than half the whole public rev.
enue. The public debt Of India (Which is
over and above the British national debt,
Canada debt, &C. is four hundred millions
of dollars, one fourth of which has been
incurred within the last ten years. The
gross annual income Of India is estimated at
SIPS, 900, 900, and the expenditure at
sl35.O 900. Before the Afghan war,
the British armies in India numbered l6S,.

few years, 10000 men have been added
to the East India Company's army. being
about as many as the whole British military
forces upheld elsewhere. Seven hundred
British officers have been appointed to ma

Times considers that the forces in India are
courageous and well disciplined. but its facts
do not indicate that India is well governed
