Bryan's latest book, british Rule In
India" which has been given a wide
circulation in his recent peace propa
ganda. was today ordered excluded
from the mails in india by POST
master c. W. Fay. Attributing the
widespread revolt OF the Hlndus

book, the British government of
India has asked the United States
government not TO accept the book in
any language for mailing into India.
Bryans book, an arraignment of

based on personal Investigations some
years ago. Bryan charges that the
British. with the aid Of the native

in an interview in The Virginian Sum
day morning. Is n statement issued yes
terday by Ii committee of citizens head

The most startling statement in
Mr.. Dabneys interview is the one
in which he expresses the position of
the postmaster general to be that un-
less the present postoff1ce Is enlarged
he will recommend that terminal sta
tons he established at the different
railroad depots, leaving the present
building without improvements of any
kind The correct statement Of the
postal and treasury authorities Is this:
that before they will recommend the
expenditure of another dollar on the
present postoffice building, they will
recommend the establishment OF ter
minais at the railroad depots. 1t will
be seen that there Is quite difference
in these two statements. although Mr..
Dahney does not seem to recognize
the fact"

This, however, is considered a mat
ter of legislative policy already passed
upon by the General Assembly. and
with which the other departments OF

The General Assembly Itself seems
