ENGLAND MUST ACT TO SAVE INDIA.
LONDON, April 16.-Karl Blind, the dis
tinguished German revolutionist, in refus-
ing to attend conference of the Peace Ar
bitration association to-day, writes that he
is ardently desirous of peace wherever it
can honorably be obtained, but as the cars
government is so manifestly showing such
| brutal violence and as its final aim is India,
arbitration between England and Russia
WOULD BE USELESS.

only have the effect apparently of exhibit
ing divided opinion in England and would
encourage further aggression on the part of
the ruthless despotism which has shame
fully broken the most solemn pledges, wit
ness Khiva, Merv and the Afghan frontier
commission. England must make firm
stand if India is not to be lost. 1t is
| question of action now not question Of
words. Only thirty persons attended the
conference.
