ENGLAND CAN GET MEN
Indian Warrior Graves Battle and
Wants to Supply Men.

Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 29-"If our EN-
peror, King George V of England, re-
quires an army larger than that of
Russia, we would be able to supply
it and be proud to do So" said his
Highness the Maharaia of Idar, Dbl
raj Shri Dolat Singhji, when he pass
ed through this city on his way to
join the British General Staff at the
front IN France.
To illustrate the present martial
ardOr of the Indians the Malaria
ia told the pathetic story of his own
military secretary. After bidding
farewell to his master. this secretary
assembled his family and close
friends. He said goodbye to them
and then shot himself dead, overcome
with anguish that he could not accom-
pany his master to the field of battle.
The Maharaja is the fifth of the In
dian Princes who has left India on
active military service. He is the
adopted son of the celebrated Sir Per-
tab Singh.
All peoples and creeds in India are
united today in enthusiasm for the
cause of the Empire" he said.
every Indian, old and young,
would most gladly respond to the
King-Emperor's CALL" he said.
GAS only a comparatively small
number of men may go to the battle
field at present, many officers and In
dians of high birth are going in the
ranks. You will probably be surpris-
ed to learn that my two sauces, or
grOoms, are captains.
"My valet is very well-to-do. He
came with me in these circumstances
because it was the only way he
could come.
even the grooms who came to
Bombay with our horses and then had
TO return home went away dejectedly
and in tears"
He said the Maharaia of JodpOur,
seventeen years old, was anxious de-
spite his youth to get into the fight
ing. His mother supported him in
this desire. Finally he wrote to the
Viceroy, saying, "Why am l not al
lowed to GO? | have three brothers,
so if ] am killed in battle it does not
matter" He was allowed to go to the
front.
The Maharaja said the presence of
Turkey on the other side of the con-
flict will have no effect in India.
Turkey is football of the Ger
mans. She cannot pretend to repre-
sent Mohammedanism. All sections
of India are proud to be on the side
of the empire. For instance, Rajpu-
tana has an army of 10000 men, but
no fewer than half Million men have
offered themselves and are eager to
serve. Nepal has put her whole force
$4,000 men, at the Emperor's disposal
"If the battlefield were nearer and
not separated from India by sea, the
Indians would go even without orders
to fight"
