ledge that declaration Of martial law

England. prevents viceroy Lord Min
TO from taking this step to put down
Indian sedition.
Lord Minto received reports today
from ofacials all over the country that
show the situation to be steadily
growing worse.
Minto has promised free use OF
troops in suppressing riots. but ad-
visors say this measure alone is In
adequate.
They say one of the imperative
needs is summary shooting OF all those
found guilty OF fomenting.
All the thousands OF malcontents
that now swarm through India are
fully armed.
1t is possible to rely on only sixty
per cent OF native troops, owing to
disaffection English forces are weak
by reason of recent drafting OF un-
seasoned men from England.
