MONSOON WITH NORMAL RAINS EXPECTED

Sims, India, May B.-An Official tentative Tore
cast saws that conditions are favorable for the
exuocted monsoon except perhaps In Upper India.
The snowfall In Chitral and Northeastern Afghan
stan is locally somewhat In excess OF the usual
quantity but the fall elsewhere Is normal. The
meteorological conditions in the South Indian seas
are doubtful but probably more favorable than they
were n wear ago and therefore "A monsoon with
normal rains is expected for the whole country
except In Upper India. where the rainfall may be
favorable II the monsoon Is strong.
