WASHINGTON, Nov. Earl
Ntchener's ultimate mission during
his mysterious absence from the
British war office Is said by conf
dental information received here to-
day to be India, where,
cording to the same informal on,
British rule Is confronted with q
more serious state of unrest than,
has generally been known outside OF
British official circles. !!
Through the thick veil which the
British censorship has thrown about
the events in India and Egypt comes
"a statement that Nawab, Sultan VI
Null, the Nizam Of Hyderabad one
OF the native princes. and q staunels
supporter OF the British, has been
deposed by his people.
This development coming as one Of
the climax to successive reports Of
mutinies and unrest, many Of which
have been substantiated and admit
ted by the British government, Is;
said to be the leading reasons for
Earl Kitchener's departure From
England which had been shrotidedI
with much secrecy. ;3sss
1t has been officially announced
that the head Of the British war ONCE
was on his way to the theater OF on
creations in the near East, which has
been generally interpreted as mean
ing the Balkans where the critical
situation of the moment confronts the
allied forces. Information reaching
the United States, however, through
channels not subject to censorship Is
to the effect that the fact Isl we'll
known in London in circles close to
the government that while Earl
Kitchener may stop In the Baikans
to coordinate the efforts Of the oil
lied forces his ultimate destinat ion As
not only India, but Egypt as we'll
where the British gateway to- Asia Is
now menaced by the Z n utonic, But
garian, Turk successes in.the BalkAfss
Coupled with repeated activities of
German agents fomenting discont tent
among the native population Of India
have come reports Of rdisaff ecti lon In
Egypt, also ascribed to the same
sources. -
Since the Turks failed to cut the
Suez cana, mainly through the
prompt arrival of colonial troops
from New Zealand and Australia HI
has been reported that agents from
Constantinople and Berlin have been
conducting persistent propaganda
among the natives. Some time ago;
Great Britain imposed the most trim
gent restriction against the entry Of
foreigners to India and Egypt with
the announced purpose ofskeeping out
the agents Of Great Britain's enc
mics. s 4
The Importance to the British OF
the reported downfall OF the Nizam
OF Hyderabad may be Illustrated by
the fact that at the critical moment
when Turkey entered hostilities the
sultan called on all Mathematician
for holy war the NiZam Of Hyderas
bad, head of the largest Mohammss
dan state in India, issued q manfs
festo to his people in which he de-
clared 1t to be the duty OF all MO
hammedans In India to adhere to-
their British allegiance.
The Nizam, who is one OF the
wealthies native princes. also cantribs
uted 100000 to defray the .ex.
penses of the first Hyderabad imperis
al lancers and the Twentieth Ocean
horses, who were transported to SER
vice In Europe. Such information as
has come to Washington on these de-
Yelopments, II OF an ofticial .characz
ter. and inasmuch as It does NOT ema4
nate from sources which would Sbe
interested in spreading reports OF
dissatisfaction in British territory.
1t has been given credence.
Earl Kitchener,s selection for the
task Of holding Britain's colonial
empire Intact Is viewed as having
been caused by his service I'm India
and his large personal following
among the leaders of the natives.
Earlier in the war disaffecti ton In In
dia and Egypt was of such Import
ance that the use Of japanese troops
ives being suggested to take the
place OF native forces which had
been withdrawn to the European
ibattlefields. 3 n 3
The last reports to the state de-
partment on political conditions In
British possessions in Asia were re
ceived more than two, months 20
when details came OF the mutiny 81
natives at Singapore, In which prac-
tically all officers and most of the
troops of a British regiment vert
killed. An expeditionary force of9
British bluejackets SECURED the iii-6l
terror for the native leaders. cRD3S

brief trial they were executed
