IN the brief chronicles from the war
field in western Europe the Ameri-
can reader catches a scanty note
now and then of the fighting of the
Anglo-lndian army transported from
distant Asia, landed at Marseilie and
flung into line of battle while the great
world tragedy was in it's first phase.
Also in the news from Europe are notes
that tell of the recruiting. training and
equipment in England of British
force 100000 strong. with a promise
of readiness for conflict in the early
spring.
A good deal Is also heard of the con-
tinuous raising OF volunteer troops in
British America. Australia. New Tea
land and in South Africa, when the re-
, volt there shall have been put down.
But no news comes under the sea or
through the skies as to imperial mill
tary preparations in India, the realm of
greatest potential military strength In
the world wide empire of Great Brit
ain.
The standing Anglo-Indian force of
$4,000 British regulars and 10000
Indian regulars has been at the front
for something like a period of two
months. and its losses have been Sc
we're, but it is reasonable that the
casualties have been replaced by a
steady stream of achievements. But
the point is that India's contribution in
men to the British cause has not yet
touched the vast resources of the rich
est jewel IN the British crown. and the
loyalty OF India being beyond dispute
it must be that stupendous military
preparations are making there to as
sist when the British open their spring
campaign on the continent of Europe.

ties lying between Sind and the United

size and Importance make up this
group. The extent OF the indian en-
pire may be gained from the fact that
there are 500 states. though only about
200 are of real Importance. the majority
of the nearly 700 states representing

in making that metal contraband of
war, and in the news of late date it
was published that ITO maintain sue
cessfully her right to seize or detain
cargoes of American copper carried on an
American or other neutral vessel to a
neutral country. such as Italy in the
south or Holland in the north of Eu-
rope, Great Britain apparently finds 1t
necessary to establish the proba bility
that copper actually is destined for
Germany or Austria. or even Turkey
One means of establishing this proba-
bility is to demonstrate that there has
been an increase in the imports of cop
per into any neutral country in excess
of the normal requirements of that
country as tending to prove that the
surplus Of copper, or a corresponding
quantity already in the country. has
been allowed to pass across Its borders
into a belligerent country.
