dummy. others practiced charging and
others did other football fundamen-

German Missionaries Must Go.

The Christian lntetIEencer says:
Recent advices from India bring
the information that the British Gov
eminent of India has decided that all
enemy aliens in that country must be
e!aaer informed or dcported. The de-
cision Is aimed chiefly at the German
missionaries, OF whom there arr a
large number in India.
AT the beginnins- ef july con-
siderable number OF these mission
aries had been removed from ASA m,
Rehar and orisSa. but fair number

Lutheran mission long has been esta D.
lished.
'At the beginning OF April there
were 442 alien enemy missionaries in
the whole of India, of whom lis had
been informed or paroied. Only few
Germans and .Austrians were per-
mitted to remain at large in Upper
India. and those now have been sent
to the detention camp at Dagshai in
the Simla district.
While this action appears harsh, II
Is no doubt dictated by the necessities
of the bitter conflict now being waged,
and in which the attitude OF al the
OF great Importance.
This action will add another note
OF urgency to the prayer that God
may see fit soon to bring an end to
this awful calamity that is including
even the most innocent and necessary
interests In Its devastating influences.
