OVER 4 MILLION

DYING IN INDIA

smla. British India. July 12.--It had
been estimated that more than a million
of the people OF East India would fall
victims to the plague. Now 1t is known
that this figure. vast as 1t is. will be ex-
ceeded, and that the mortality will reach
an appalling total. During the last week
for which there are official figures, $1,000
died of the plague.
The position is terrible one. The

speaks of "phisnat" and makes no eff
fort to save himself The rat ex-
termination campaign has not been as
successful as It's supporters had hoped.
Agitators take advantage OF the aw-
full infiiction TO have an additional
fling at the British government.
One declared that the illness from
which the people are suffering is not
plague, but the result of the poisoning of
the wells by their British masters. To
support his statement he had certain of
his followers throw balls OF -four into the
WELLS, which the people found and be-
came convinced of the truth OF the agi-
tators statement. That agitation is now
in the Andaman Islands. and will remain
there for two years.
