Contests Liability.

The receivers desire to contest the
liability of the $4,000 600 bond issue,
and felt that to do this effectively
they should dismiss the $4,000. 600
restitution suit against directors
and former directors. 1t was felt
that the receivers could not con-
sistently claim that the road was
not liable for the bonds If they
claimed that the officers OF the
road had exceeded their authority
In making the purchase OF the ST.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico road,
which included a guarantee of the
bond issue. If the bond issue were IL
legal there was nothing to restore TO
the Frisco on the part Of the direct

THE Gurkhas understand no Ian

understand that. Their stragglers are
exposed to difficulties in the way OF
rejoining their units which 1t is al
most impossible to exaggeratc: nor

pressed with reference to the forces

Sir John French embraced TO an equal
degree the army corps composed of
our Indian fellow subjects.
Letters found upon wounded men
and prisoners make It clear that the
German military authorities have
specially charged the troops with the
task of inflicting the severest possible
punishment upon the forces whose
civilization they deny and whose sol
dierly qualities they disparage.
Under these circumstances II is a
subject of great satisfaction that the
Indian troops have so finely fulfilled
the high expectations which were
formed of them. A word of caution.
